There is a price to pay for being greedy and craving for cool things.

While Zheng Hanjun was helping Jiang Jiang get medicine, Jiang Jiang hid alone under the pear tree in the yard to cool off. The scorching afternoon sun was completely blocked by the mottled leaves, leaving only a little scattered light.

Jiang Jiang sat on the chair, looking up at the emerald green pears hanging on the big tree, thinking that the pears on this tree should be edible in autumn. She wondered what kind of pears these were and whether they were sweet.

Before he knew it, Jiang Jiang started to feel greedy again.

When Gu Yanqing and Old Zheng came out of the backyard, they saw Jiang Jiang sitting on a chair with a look of enjoyment on her face, looking up at the pear tree above her head with expectation.

This girl, what is she looking at? She is so engrossed.

Gu Yanqing put his medicine into his arms and then walked slowly to Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang felt someone coming and subconsciously turned her head, just in time to meet Gu Yanqing's clear and gentle eyes.

Jiang Jiang was stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking at?"

As usual, Gu Yanqing walked to Jiang Jiang's side familiarly, and imitated her, looking up at the shade of the tree above her head -

Is she looking at the pears on the tree?

"Didn't see anything."

Jiang Jiang withdrew her gaze and looked down at her toes.

There's something wrong with her.

Gu Yanqing was very sensitive to the changes in Jiang Jiang. Sure enough, it was not his illusion a few days ago. There was really something wrong with Jiang Jiang.

"you're uncomfortable?"

Gu Yanqing deliberately brought up the topic. Since Jiang Jiang appeared here, she was probably here to see Mr. Zheng for medical treatment and medicine.

"No, nothing, just buying some tonic."

Jiang Jiang responded with a reply. At this time, Zheng Hanjun had already walked out with a medicine bag.

"Young Master Yan, please stop asking about girls' matters."

Zheng Hanjun teased Gu Yanqing.

Gu Yanqing understood instantly and stood aside awkwardly.

Jiang Jiang also stood up at this time and took the medicine bag handed to her by Zheng Hanjun.

"I go first."

Jiang Jiang didn't want to stay here any longer.

"I'll go with you." Gu Yanqing still followed Jiang Jiang's footsteps, and the two of them left the clinic side by side.

"Miss Jiang Jiang seems to be worried."

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Zheng Hanjun muttered softly.

Meanwhile, Mr. Zheng just kept smiling without saying anything. He hid one hand in his sleeve, touching the banknotes that Gu Yanqing had given him not long ago.

The world of young people is complicated.

This old man is different. He only loves money. As long as he has a lot of money, he will not have any worries or troubles.

"If you're not feeling well, just walk slower."

Outside the clinic, Jiang Jiang walked very fast, and Gu Yanqing caught up with her and reminded her softly.

Jiang Jiang did not stop or slow down.

"Ginger ginger."

Gu Yanqing couldn't help it after all, and grabbed Jiang Jiang's arm: "You are worried about something, is it related to me?"

She was not in the right condition.

Gu Yanqing also had a very bad premonition in his heart.

Is it...

She knows everything?

However, she did not write any of this in her diary.

Just as Gu Yanqing was secretly guessing, Jiang Jiang finally spoke again: "You can still tell that I'm worried? I thought... since you inherited Uncle Ping's property and became rich, you only have eyes for Uncle Ping, and no longer have eyes for me... as a friend."

Jiang Jiang looked aggrieved at this moment. Facing her big watery eyes, Gu Yanqing suddenly felt relieved.

It turns out...she discovered his identity.

"You're overthinking it. Uncle ** isn't in good health, so I'm busy taking care of him. When he gets better, how about I go out with you? Where do you want to go? As long as I have time, I'll definitely go with you wherever you want to go."

Gu Yanqing smiled and coaxed Jiang Jiang: "Even if I become rich in the future, I will not forget you as a friend."

"A man's mouth is a liar."

Jiang Jiang glanced at Gu Yanqing meaningfully, then curled her lips; "Forget it, I'll forgive you this time. It's because you're pretty."

As Jiang Jiang spoke, she threw the medicine bag in her hand to Gu Yanqing.

"Hold it for me first."

"Okay." Gu Yanqing took the medicine bag and followed Jiang Jiang out of the alley.

Jiang Jiang looked calm at this moment, but in fact, he was very excited——

Didn't he find out?

It seems that her acting skills have improved a lot now.

The best hunters often appear as prey.

Gu Yanqing.

This time, it's my turn to be the hunter.

"You haven't been to the bookstore for a long time. I was worried that something might have happened to you."

The two continued to walk forward, and Gu Yanqing spoke seemingly unintentionally.

"You also know that I haven't been there for a long time, but you didn't look for me?" Jiang Jiang turned her head, curled her lips at Gu Yanqing, and continued: "The last time I went to see Uncle Ping, and Uncle Ping talked about some of his properties, I learned that Uncle Ping's properties are not limited to the capital and Hezhou, he also has properties in Beijunzhou. I was thinking at the time that maybe in the future, you will become the person I can't reach."

"how come?"

Gu Yanqing interrupted Jiang Jiang and then looked at her with a smile: "No matter who I become in the future, I will always be the Yan Chong you knew at the beginning."

"I hope so." Jiang Jiang's expression finally brightened, and then he said heartlessly, "Then I'll come to play with you again when I have time."

***

In early July, the capital city ushered in the hottest season of the year.

The Qiqiao Festival that the people of Beijing have been looking forward to is about to arrive.

On the evening of the sixth day of July, all the major markets in the capital had already begun to decorate with lights and make preparations in advance.

Imperial City, Central Palace.

Emperor Jianping was playing chess with Gu Yanqing. The two had been playing for most of the night, and Emperor Jianping had never won once.

"Stop playing."

After His Majesty the Emperor lost another game, his mentality finally collapsed.

"Then I will take my leave first?"

Gu Yanqing had actually had enough of rain and wanted to go home early.

"What are you busy with?"

Emperor Jianping stopped Gu Yanqing and said, "I have already sent people to prepare everything you told me last time. Good things have happened one after another recently, and I am very happy. I want to find someone to talk to me more."

"Your Majesty can look for the ladies in the harem."

Gu Yanqing answered seriously—

If you want to talk to someone, go find your wife. You have so many wives, aren’t they enough for you to talk to?

"What do they know? All they do all day is fight over jealousy, vying for favor and power. It's so boring."

In fact, Emperor Jianping knew very well what was going on in the harem, but most of the time, he pretended to be ignorant.

"Women are the most difficult to please in the world. Having too many women is even more annoying. I really envy you now. It's so nice to be free without a woman at home to control you."

Emperor Jianping said this, looking at Gu Yanqing with eyes full of envy.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to do that. I am just aloof and unpopular person. Women just don't like me." Gu Yanqing didn't believe the nonsense of Emperor Jianping.

Do you think having too many women makes people feel annoyed?

So why did you take in a few new concubines last month? Did you bring them into the palace to be used as decorations?

"Gu Qing, with your looks, how could you not be liked by women? I think your daily life is too boring and monotonous, and you come into contact with too few girls. How about this, tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival, I will accompany you to travel around the capital, and I guarantee that you can meet the girl you like." Emperor Jianping said with a vow.

Gu Yanqing: ...

So this is your real purpose, right?

Gu Yanqing was speechless. It was obvious that Emperor Jianping wanted to go out and play and see beautiful women, so why did he say it in such a high-sounding way and even drag him into it as an excuse?
