Chapter 48.4: 定下铺子

[Settle on a shop]

Chen Xing and Gu Lang bought a bunch of vegetables and went back. As soon as they entered, they saw Qiu Jiu waiting at the front door.

Looking at Qiu Jiu as if he had something to tell Gu Lang, so he also didn’t want to get in their way here. He said hello before then he put the vegetables in his hand to the kitchen.

Gu Lang glanced at Qiu Jiu and asked Qiu Jiu to wait for him for a while longer as he followed Chen Xing to the kitchen to put the vegetables away, and only after seeing that Chen Xing was not in a hurry to do the cooking and was ready to go back to his own room to plan how to set up his little shop then come back later to cook, did Gu Lang slowly return to the study room.

Gu Lang swept the not-so-existent layer of dust from his body before entering the room, then he sat down in his seat, looking at Qiu Jiu who had been waiting since a while ago, and said indifferently, “Tell me directly what’s wrong.”

“Yes.” Qiu Jiu answered, then pulled out a piece of paper from his sleeve and carefully handed it to Gu Lang, “Gongzi, this is what we have found out.”

Gu Lang took the letter from his hand and glanced at it, then snorted a sarcastic laugh, “That Chen family isn’t greedy, actually letting the Zhao family take the lion’s share.”

Qiu Jiu quietly raised his head and surveyed his Gongzi’s expression, looking at him as if he didn’t look angry before he softly said, “Gongzi, since those families have swallowed so much, what should we do next?”

Gu Lang hooked his lips, the corners of his mouth brought out a bit of sarcasm, his tone cold and hard, “Naturally, I’ll let him spit out as much as he’s eaten, I’m going to make them spit it out for me little by little!”

Qiu Jiu’s heart was cold as he arched his hand and responded, “Yes.”

Gu Lang lowered his eyes and looked at the letter paper in his hand, flicked it gently, and continued to command, “Go and check to see what relationship this Zhao family has with the former county magistrate.”

Although Qiu Jiu felt that this order from Gu Lang was somewhat odd, he still responded very obediently.

After taking Qiu Jiu away to lead the mission, Gu Lang took another look at the things in his hand, then slowly got up and took down a thick dictionary from the bookshelf.

The dictionary was empty when it opened and there were a lot of similar papers in it, but the color was already a bit old, Gu Lang casually swept a glance, and then put the new chapter in his hand and closed it again.

After doing all of this, Gu Lang just looked at the sky outside the window and sighed helplessly, “I wanted to come slowly, who knows that you guys are so impatient, right now you can’t blame me.”

　　***

After Chen Xing put down the dictionary, he joyfully went back to his own room. First of all, he took out his money from a small storage box, counted it and found that the money inside was really enough for the payment of the rent, besides that it can still have a surplus, only then he joyfully put it back.

Then he took out a pen and paper on the table, and began to draw the layout of his new shop according to his own ideas, and when he finished repairing and modifying the painting, he looked at the painting that made him extraordinarily satisfied. He thought about it, and then directly picked up and prepared to go to find Gu Lang to help him to look at it, so that Gu Lang could give him some advice.

When Chen Xing walked to the door, he saw Xue Qiu basking in the sun under the veranda. He came to Xue Qiu in three steps, picked him up and said happily, “Let’s go, let’s go find Gu Lang together. You want to see him too, right?”

Responding to Chen Xing were two resentful cat calls, “Meow~Meow!”
