The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

After the diagnosis, Zheng Hanjun prescribed a lot of medicinal herbs for Jiang Jiang. Jiang Jiang also bought some red dates and brown sugar for herself. Speaking of which, although the traditional brown sugar of this era is not as sweet and delicate as white sugar, it still has a unique flavor.

"Master Yan, Master Yan!"

When Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing were about to leave the clinic, Old Zheng kept calling Gu Yanqing from behind.

"Master Yan, come here and talk!"

Mr. Zheng pulled Gu Yanqing aside and muttered something in a low voice.

Jiang Jiang subconsciously pricked up her ears. Her five senses were very sharp now, and her hearing was very good. She seemed to vaguely hear something like "silver" and "very expensive".

"what happened?"

Jiang Jiang couldn't help but walk forward and look at the two people.

"Oh, these herbs I bought are a bit expensive. As you know, my daily income is limited, so... I owe Mr. Zheng a little money." Gu Yanqing explained to Jiang Jiang with a smile, then turned around and put away his smile, looking at Mr. Zheng: "I'll give you the rest of the money next time, that's it."

Having said that, Gu Yanqing pulled Jiang Jiang out of the clinic's courtyard.

Old Zheng stood behind the two people with a strange look on his face. Could it be that Young Master Yan... was pretending to be poor?

Speaking of which, his outfit today is indeed quite simple.

Rich people have so many tricks up their sleeves.

"How much silver do you owe Mr. Zheng?"

Jiang Jiang left the clinic and subconsciously asked Gu Yanqing a question. At the same time, Jiang Jiang was secretly guessing in his heart -

Is this the beginning of a trap for myself?

So, the scam targeting me has just begun? Are they... a gang?

If the amount he said was small, should I pretend to be cheated and help him pay back the money?

after all……

He is so handsome!

"It's not much money, just... I haven't received my salary this month, so I just owe him one or two taels of silver. This old Zheng is so stingy!" Gu Yanqing replied to Jiang Jiang in a relaxed manner.

Just... one or two?

Jiang Jiang blinked, it turned out to be a mature gang, and they knew how to start with small amounts of money!

You want me to join you for just one or two taels of silver, right?

"I have money here, how about...I help you pay it back?"

Jiang Jiang turned to look at Gu Yanqing and spoke innocently.

"No need, I will get paid in two days." The two men said as they walked forward and walked out of the alley in a flash.

"The bookstore where I work is over there. Do you want to go take a look?"

Gu Yanqing pointed in the direction of the next street.

"I..." Jiang Jiang was about to say something when he suddenly felt a chill on his face.

It turned out that without me noticing when, the sky was already covered with dark clouds and it started to rain!

This spring rain came extremely urgently.

The raindrops as big as beans hit Jiang Jiang's little face directly.

Jiang Jiang was confused. It was a clear sky when she went out in the morning, and she didn't bring an umbrella!

At this moment, Jiang Jiang suddenly felt a darkness above her head. It turned out that Gu Yanqing beside her had taken off his coat and covered Jiang Jiang's head with the whole piece of clothes.

"Be careful not to catch a cold. I'll take you to the bookstore to take shelter from the rain!"

Gu Yanqing looked at Jiang Jiang with concern, and this concern was not fake at all.

After all, he wouldn't allow anything to happen to this little girl.

"it is good."

At this time, Jiang Jiang could only nod and agree.

Just like that, in this sudden heavy rain, Jiang Jiang held the bag of medicinal herbs in her arms, while Gu Yanqing held the medicinal herbs in one hand and held up his coat with the other hand to cover Jiang Jiang's body, and the two of them ran quickly to the next street.

At this time, the streets were full of panicked pedestrians.

The heavy rain disrupted the movements of all passers-by on the street. People ran around to avoid the rain, and their hurried steps inevitably led to collisions and bumps.

Jiang Jiang ran a few steps and suddenly felt an unbearable abdominal pain. She paused abruptly and was about to bump into a passerby. At the critical moment, Gu Yanqing spun around and Jiang Jiang hit him hard in the chest.

"Well."

Jiang Jiang rubbed his forehead.

Master Yan's chest was as hard as a rock.

"Are you okay?" A concerned voice came from above.

Jiang Jiang smiled awkwardly, and the moment she raised her eyes, she saw Gu Yanqing's thin inner garment with patches on it.

He...seems really poor.

Jiang Jiang's heart wavered again——

Maybe he is not a liar?

Was I being too paranoid? In this era of simple folk customs, there might not even be any pig-killing scam gangs...

"I am fine."

Jiang Jiang lowered her eyes and continued to follow Gu Yanqing. Soon, the two of them came to a small bookstore called "Floating Life".

There was an old shopkeeper with a kind face in the bookstore. Seeing the miserable appearance of Gu Yanqing and Jiang Jiang, the old shopkeeper seemed to be frightened and immediately asked them to go to the backyard to rest.

"I usually live in this small courtyard."

Gu Yanqing took Jiang Jiang to the backyard of the bookstore. The whole yard was very small. Jiang Jiang followed Gu Yanqing into a side room in the yard.

The room is not big, but it is very tidy.

"Please sit down for a while. I'll boil some hot water for you."

Gu Yanqing said as he opened the door and ran out.

Jiang Jiang placed her medicine bag on the small table beside her, and then looked at the wet coat that Gu Yanqing had casually placed on the chair.

His coat looked quite thick, and Jiang Jiang had just noticed that the clothes underneath were all patched.

By the way, when I first saw him outside the Ministry of Rites, he was dressed very poorly.

Maybe it was because he looked so outstanding and dazzling that people subconsciously ignored the clothes he was wearing.

The season is about to change...

Is he really so poor that he can't even afford seasonal clothes?

Jiang Jiang's eyes swept around the small room. The room could barely fit a table, a small wooden bed, and a very shabby cabinet beside the bed.

What a miserable life... Jiang Jiang just shook his head as he watched.

Outside the window, heavy rain was still falling, and the raindrops hit the window with crackling sounds.

Jiang Jiang's eyes involuntarily looked towards the window. There was only one window in this small room, and because the window was not closed tightly, rain was still leaking into the room.

Jiang Jiang quickly walked to the window and pulled it shut tightly. The moment he lowered his head, he saw a large bookcase on the ground below the window, which contained some books for preparing for the imperial examination.

At this time, the covers of some books were wet by the rain. Jiang Jiang immediately squatted down and took out those books.

These books look very familiar. My eldest brother often keeps these books on classics and history in his room. They are all used as teaching materials for the imperial examinations.

Jiang Jiang looked through the books curiously. There were detailed notes on each book. They should all be written by Yan Chong. His handwriting was indeed beautiful. No wonder he was noticed by the people in the bookstore and made money by copying books for others.

There are both new and old notes on the books.

"It seems...he really is a scholar who has failed the imperial examinations many times."

Jiang Jiang muttered to himself.

Maybe she really was thinking too much.

If you think about it carefully, she lives in the outer city, and the time she comes to the capital is not fixed. Moreover, she always comes because she has something to do. It takes a lot of effort to plan in advance every time and then "encounter" her accurately!

Could he possibly send someone to follow her non-stop for 24 hours?

The cost is too high!

If this Mr. Yan can do all these, then he is definitely not just an ordinary liar, he is simply a terrorist!
