When Jiang Chaosheng went out, he had already changed into a brand new official uniform. In order to match his brother's style, Jiang Jiang also specially washed and dressed up today and wore a new set of clothes.

The brother and sister once again took a carriage to the capital.

But this time, the company that rented the carriage in Liuquan Lane had changed, and the brother and sister's mood for going to Beijing this time was completely different from the last time.

There are still people coming and going on the official road to the capital.

The surrounding scenery is no different.

But Jiang Jiang suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart——

Now she is like a gamer who has completed the mission in the Novice Village and is about to enter the new map of the main city.

New map, new missions, new characters, new storyline.

Everything is waiting for her to unlock...

**

Capital city, Ministry of Works.

As the most inconspicuous department among the six ministries, the Ministry of Works is located in a quiet street not far from the imperial city.

Although the Ministry of Works looks inconspicuous, it occupies the largest area among the six ministries. After all, the Ministry of Works has many departments and a large number of staff, and many craftsmen need separate rooms and courtyards to study various designs.

Jiang Chaosheng and Jiang Jiang got off the carriage near the Ministry of Works. Looking at the slightly desolate Ministry of Works, Jiang Chaosheng did not feel discouraged. Instead, he felt a surge of lofty ambitions in his heart.

"I'm in!"

Jiang Chaosheng said something to Jiang Jiang, then strode into the Ministry of Works without looking back.

The messenger at the gate of the yamen saw Jiang Chaosheng's warrant and official uniform and did not stop him. He even subconsciously bowed and saluted, saying respectfully, "Greetings, sir!"

Jiang Chaosheng nodded, then walked slowly inside...

Big brother, this style really makes you look like an official.

Jiang Jiang stood outside the gate of the Ministry of Works until she saw Jiang Chaosheng disappear, then she turned and left.

She has a lot of things to do today and many places to go, and time is running out!

**

At the entrance of Fusheng Bookstore.

This time, Jiang Jiang saw the familiar tall figure before she even entered the door.

"Master Yan!"

Jiang Jiang called out softly, and then saw the tall figure slowly turn around, revealing an extremely handsome face.

"Miss Jiang Jiang, you are here."

Gu Yanqing looked at Jiang Jiang, who was dressed pretty today, and couldn't help but slowly praised: "You are dressed very beautifully today."

"is it?"

Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up, and then she smiled and said, "No matter how pretty I am, I'm not as pretty as you."

I guess in this world, only Gu Yanqing can compete with Master Yan in beauty.

By the way, there's more...

For some reason, Jiang Jiang remembered the sickly pretty boy she met in the alley that day.

The boy was also very handsome, but a little too feminine.

Hearing Jiang Jiang's words, Gu Yanqing's expression remained unchanged, and inexplicably thought of what she wrote in her diary...

"Cough cough."

Gu Yanqing cleared his throat twice and then changed the subject: "Have you read the list I asked Uncle Ping to give you?"

"Yeah, I've seen it."

Jiang Jiang nodded, and then took out a silver ingot from his arms, no more, no less, exactly ten taels.

"Thank you for your hard work. This ten taels of silver is my reward to you!"

These are all rewards from the system. Jiang Jiang gives them out as a favor and doesn't feel sorry at all.

If you want to do great things, you can't be too stingy. A mere ten taels of silver, can't you get it by writing a diary?

Jiang Jiang felt that he was being very generous by offering ten taels of silver to buy people's hearts.

Gu Yanqing felt a little strange when he saw the silver that Jiang Jiang handed to him.

Ten taels.

It costs him ten taels of silver every day to read his diary.

At first, Gu Yanqing didn't understand how to operate this so-called "system" until last night when Mu Kang asked him to report on the income and expenditure of the Prime Minister's Mansion last month. At the end, Mu Kang said that the amount of silver in the warehouse was a bit inconsistent, and it seemed that there was a shortage of dozens of taels.

At that moment, Gu Yanqing understood.

It turns out that the so-called "system" can "take away" silver directly from his treasury.

**

Gu Yanqing was a little dazed.

From Jiang Jiang's perspective, after she took out ten taels of silver, Gu Yanqing became dazed and stood there motionless.

He is...

Are you stunned by the sudden wealth?

It's just ten taels of silver. He shouldn't be so poor that he would be shocked by ten taels of silver, right?

"Master Yan?"

Jiang Jiang took the opportunity to stuff the silver into Gu Yanqing's hand.

Gu Yanqing finally reacted and said subconsciously: "No reward without merit, I can't accept this money!"

He subconsciously wanted to return the money to Jiang Jiang. During the tug of war, their fingers accidentally touched each other, and Gu Yanqing immediately retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Jiang Jiang was also stunned for a moment.

Master Yan's fingers are very cold.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this older scholar in front of me... looks so innocent!

It's fun to see such a big reaction when just touching it with your finger.

Jiang Jiang blinked her big dark eyes and looked at the handsome man in front of her. Could it be that he had become stupid from studying all these years, so... he had never touched a woman?

Jiang Jiang saw Gu Yanqing take a step back without leaving a trace. She immediately stepped forward with a smile and looked up at him: "I've already said, since you are willing to help me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly. These ten taels of silver are nothing, just accept it with peace of mind."

As she spoke, Jiang Jiang handed the silver that Gu Yanqing had just returned to her in front of him again.

The silver ingot lay quietly in Jiang Jiang's palm.

Gu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, and at this moment he heard Jiang Jiang's voice again in his ears: "If you don't take it yourself, then I will help you put it in your arms!"

As he spoke, Jiang Jiang made a move to step forward again.

Gu Yanqing immediately picked up the ten taels of silver as a conditioned reflex.

"I've accepted the money. Miss Jiang Jiang, if you need any help with anything else, just let me know." While speaking, Gu Yanqing kept his eyes downcast and did not look at Jiang Jiang's face. He looked a little nervous.

"I really need your help with a lot of things."

Jiang Jiang thought Master Yan in front of her was really interesting, but she also knew that business was more important, so she stopped teasing him and spoke again seriously, "I want to buy last year's cotton inventory in the capital. You should know this. Now I don't have a suitable place to store the goods. I want to rent a clean and tidy warehouse. Do you have any connections?"

The rent of shops in the capital is too expensive, Jiang Jiang can't afford it.

She felt it was unsafe to store something as valuable as cotton in the outer city. It would be best to find a cheap, clean and safe warehouse in the capital.

All of these needed to be handled by pawnbrokers, but the pawnbrokers in the capital were complex, and she had no idea what connections they had with other forces. Jiang Jiang saw that Yan Chong had inquired about the information so thoroughly last time, so perhaps he had some better way?
