C50 (2/2)
”You have to send him off?” Yun Qianliang was confused.
In order not to provoke her after marriage, the palace did not dare to send a mama to teach her any more. Even the people sent by the Gu Xiangfu were chased away, to the point that she could not figure out what was going on in there.
Gu Yicheng nodded seriously, ”I have to send them off.”
Yun Qianliang thought for a long time and came up with an idea.
”Fourteen, go buy me a few pieces of wood that are fine, fine, and sturdy. Then buy me a set of tools for carving.”
”Madam, you've even sent me such precious jewelry, only giving me a few pieces of wood?” The Gu San could no longer bear to watch and cried out for justice.
In the eyes of the madame, the young master was not even equal to a servant.
”Disliked? ”Alright then, I'll take my leave.” Yun Qianliang was anxious to make the decision, as though he was waiting for the words to save money and trouble.
Gu Yicheng secretly stared at Gu San and quickly said: ”If you don't mind, I happen to be short on wood.”
Yun Qianliang smirked. Wooden? Are you kidding me?
You want to cheat money!
After approximately the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the manager came out from the rear courtyard.
”Madam Prime Minister, the goods are ready. Please follow me.” The manager bowed to invite the others in.
”You guys wait outside.” Gu Yicheng got up and brought Yun Qianliang to the backyard.
The backyard of the pawnshop was connected to three or four other shops in the area. They were well-arranged, spacious and secluded, with a sense of seclusion. Occasionally, there were traces of debris in the dirt on the road leading to the backyard.
The more distant fields were planted with unknown flowers. The flower bud was small and exquisite, and the flowers were clustered one by one.
Yun Qianliang took a light sniff of the strange fragrance in the air. Initially, it was light, but after it entered her nose, he felt a strong fragrance.
Yun Qianliang covered her nose with her silk handkerchief and walked towards the flower bed.
”Madam, you can't …” The manager wanted to stop him.
Gu Yicheng raised his hand to indicate for him to be quiet and wait.
Yun Qianliang walked in front of the flowerbed and picked a flower bud that had bloomed well. She stared at the tender yellow stamen within for a long time, then brought the flower close to his nose and moved the silk handkerchief away. Taking a light breath, he covered his mouth and nose with the handkerchief once again, and inserted the flower that had been plucked into the soil.
”See what?” Gu Yicheng asked the person who walked back, pretending not to know anything.
”Drunken Fragrance.” Yun Qianliang revealed the secret of the flower bed with a glance.
Her five senses were very good. Although the other four senses were not as sensitive as her hearing, they were still much better than the average person's five senses.
At first, when she smelled the strange scent of the flower and walked closer to feel dizzy, she knew that the flower bush was not simple.
”Is his sense of smell good too?”
”Not bad.” Yun Qianliang followed the shopkeeper in front who was leading the way.
Gu Yicheng touched his chin, and quickly followed.
There were only two chairs placed in the room, making it seem very spacious. The windows of the room were all covered in a layer of opaque oil, causing the room to be lit up by candles in broad daylight.
There were twenty men in uniform in the room, arranged in two rows for easy observation.
”Greetings, Lord Prime Minister.” They were neat and orderly, ready for battle.
Gu Yicheng nodded and sat on one of the stools, ”Pick one.”
Yun Qianliang roughly looked at the guards and said: ”Four people in a group, from the door to the front.”
Yun Qianliang held the armrest with both hands and tapped his index fingers on the armrest. When the guard was about to move, she closed her eyes and carefully listened to the sounds of his footsteps and the rubbing sounds of his clothes as he waved his arms. He borrowed the sound to distinguish the opponent's martial arts level, characteristics and weakness.
After everyone had finished walking, they lined up.
”I want them all.” Yun Qianliang said loudly.
”Sure.” Gu Yicheng smiled craftily as he stared at her, ”However, I have a condition.”
Yun Qianliang shook her head with a look of disappointment.
He said that he could go to Zheng'an Pawnshop to pick out the person with this jade pendant, and even started to talk about the conditions.
Men, what you've said can only be ignored.
”Apart from money, there's nothing else.” It was more important to stay alive.
