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

"It will take a lot of money to make these things, right?"

Jiang Chaosheng's voice rang in Jiang Jiang's ears again.

"Well, there's no rush for these. You can take your time. After all, you're already in the Ministry of Works, and there are quite a few skilled craftsmen living in Muwa Alley, right?"

Jiang Jiang said this and winked at Jiang Chaosheng.

The daily requirements for officials in Qingyun State are not so rigid, especially for some craftsmen under the Ministry of Works. Some of them are employed, and these craftsmen can also take private jobs outside.

As long as it doesn't affect the work at the Ministry of Industry and the progress of the project, no one will interfere.

"Okay, I understand. You pack these up and put them away. I just hired a carriage, it's right outside the door. Let's go back first."

Jiang Chaosheng patted Jiang Jiang's shoulder. Jiang Jiang nodded, folded up his design drawings and put them in his arms. The brother and sister locked the gate and quickly left Muwa Lane.

The setting sun dyed half the sky red. People who had been busy all day returned home one after another. The whole capital was ablaze with lights, and outside the capital, smoke from cooking fires was everywhere.

This prosperous and peaceful scene is hard to be broken.

Liuquan Lane, Jiang Family.

Mu Wanling prepared a sumptuous dinner tonight, and Yun Yue was helping out the whole time. She even made two bowls of sweet soup herself.

That’s right, our heroine is also a top cook.

It’s such an all-rounder!

After drinking the sweet soup made by Yunyue, Jiang Jiang felt like she was being elevated.

This is a familiar and nostalgic taste.

It’s really a blessing to have an omnipotent fellow countryman by my side.

"My cousin's cooking skills are amazing."

Jiang Chaosheng doesn't usually like desserts, but he drank two big bowls of sweet soup tonight.

"As long as you like it, drink more if you like it."

Yun Yue was very happy to hear everyone's praise. She also made some plans in the past few days. She didn't want to eat for free in the Jiang family. Yun Yue planned to rely on the skills she mastered in modern times to make money to support her family.

But now... she has no start-up capital.

This is very embarrassing.

Since she had no money, she could only start with some small businesses.

"Dad and Mom, I have something else to discuss with you."

After eating and drinking, Jiang Chaosheng told his parents about his official residence.

Jiang Ping and Mu Wanling were very happy to hear that his official residence was so big, but when it came to moving in, they both hesitated.

Jiang Ping was reluctant to leave his private school job in the outer city, after all, he had been working there for so long, and Mu Wanling was also reluctant to leave her old neighbors in Liuquan Lane.

"I know your concerns, but the outer city is never as safe as the capital..." Jiang Chaosheng wanted to persuade them a few more times, but unfortunately Jiang Ping and Mu Wanling were still unwilling to move.

In the end, the family continued with their morning decision, packing up their things tonight and hiring a cart to take Jiang Chaosheng and Jiang Jiang's belongings to the capital tomorrow.

That night.

Jiang Jiang and Yun Yue packed their clothes together.

"Are you really not going to the capital with me? In fact, the Chu family may not necessarily meet you, and you can wear a veil or disguise yourself?" Jiang Jiang talked to Yun Yue while packing her things.

"No, I want to live in the outer city for a while."

Yun Yue has her own business plan in mind. Some time ago, a lot of new houses were renovated in the outer city, and many new residents moved in. Some former refugees were also resettled. These people are the cheapest labor force and potential market customers. Yun Yue feels that the environment of the outer city is more suitable for her initial entrepreneurship.

As a heroine who is devoted to her career, Yun Yue cannot accept herself being mediocre.

Seeing Yun Yue's firm attitude, Jiang Jiang stopped trying to persuade her.

It’s good that Yun Yue is not in the capital, as it will be more convenient for Jiang Jiang to act alone.

…………

That night, at the Gu Mansion.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Gu Yanqing was in the study, reading the letters Jiang Wen had sent back from other places.

Jiang Wen tracked Chen Jinting's whereabouts all the way to the southwest border.

Why did Chen Jinting go to the border?

Because Chen Jinting was very skilled in martial arts and was very vigilant, Jiang Wen only dared to track and investigate from a distance and did not dare to get too close to them.

According to Jiang Wen's letter, Chen Jinting should have accepted Li Ershan as his apprentice. This time, the master and apprentice are heading to the southwest border, presumably for some bounty-laden assassination mission...

The southwestern border is not peaceful, and it is adjacent to the ancient Nanjiang tribe. The Nanjiang ancient tribe is very mysterious, and the people there do not like to contact outsiders. However... there are many greedy merchants who often sneak to the border of the Nanjiang ancient tribe, deceive ignorant boys and girls, and abduct them back to Qingyun Kingdom as slaves.

Because of this reason, the people of the ancient tribes in southern Xinjiang have always been hostile to the Kingdom of Qingyun, and small-scale conflicts occasionally break out on the border.

Fortunately, the imperial court has always stationed troops on the southwestern border, led by the veteran General Xue, who has extensive combat experience. He has been there for five years, and during these five years, the border has remained peaceful...

Putting down Jiang Wen's letter, Gu Yanqing rubbed his brows and picked up the Kyoto geography book out of habit.

Getting used to this thing can be scary sometimes.

It has been less than two months, and before he knew it, this diary seemed to have become an indispensable part of Gu Yanqing's life.

Even if you have to pay to read...

He was used to it and would open it and take a look before going to bed every day.

Leaning back in his chair, Gu Yanqing's eyes subconsciously fell on the diary page.

Today's page is still pink.

He spent ten taels of silver and directly unlocked today's latest diary -

[In the third year of Jianping, on the second day of the fourth month, the weather was fine.]

Today is another fulfilling day. My eldest brother has just taken up his new position at the Ministry of Works, and everything seems to be going smoothly. Thanks to Gu Yanqing, we've been allocated a very large official residence. Such a large courtyard would be worth a fortune in the capital! Thank you, Minister Gu! Praise you, Minister Gu!

You still have some conscience.

Seeing this, Gu Yanqing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips slightly, but the next moment, his smile became a little strange again -

[Today I saw Yan Chong again. It seems that he is more handsome every day than the day before. Haha, and I found that he seems to be very innocent. I bet a bag of spicy snacks that he must be like my eldest brother. He used to be busy with studies and had no time for romance. Also, he seems to be very smart sometimes, but sometimes he pretends to be confused with me. Every time we meet, he is so enthusiastic and eager to help me, but... every time we meet, I call him "Mr. Yan". I have called him so many times, but he doesn't react at all. According to the normal plot, shouldn't he say "Miss Jiang Jiang, we are so familiar with each other. You can just call me by my name from now on. You can also call me Ah Chong"? Humph, fortunately I am smart and have unknowingly changed Mr. Yan to Yan Chong. He doesn't seem to notice it at all. I don't know if he is really stupid or just pretending...]

amount.

When Gu Yanqing saw this diary entry, he was slightly stunned.

Did Jiang Jiang call him Yan Chong today?

Gu Yanqing really didn't care. After all, in his opinion, the name was just a code name.

Speaking of which, what is this [Latiao]?

Can you eat?
