Chapter 131 I treat you as my elder brother, but you treat me as a beast of burden!
[Knife in the Sleeve 999+: Invisible and shadowless, never misses a target]
There are 999+ knives in such a small cylinder?
What does it mean that it is invisible and traceless, and never misses its target?
Jiang Jiang inserted the cylinder into her sleeve and secured it surprisingly easily. Then she raised her arm and aimed it at the teapot on the table in the room.
An invisible aiming line seemed to appear in the void, moving along with Jiang Jiang's movements.
This weapon... can actually lock onto the target automatically!
As long as he aims at a target, he cannot escape even if he is a thousand-mile horse.
"nice one."
Jiang Jiang caressed her sleeves with some reluctance. The system dad finally loved her for once. This hidden knife in her sleeve was truly a must-have for home and travel… Silencing someone, crossing it out. It was a magical tool for home and travel, for self-protection.
……
May 15th is the day when Jiang Chaosheng has to go to court again, but recently his brother seems to be in a bad mood and not in a good mood.
Jiang Jiang got up early in the morning and helped Jiang Chaosheng prepare the official uniform. Seeing that Jiang Jiang suddenly became so diligent and sensible, Jiang Chaosheng just smiled perfunctorily.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Were you bullied at the Ministry of Industry? Tell me who bullied you, and I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
Jiang Jiang, who had just obtained the dagger in his sleeve, felt that his fighting power was rising steadily, and he almost took the step of not recognizing his relatives.
"It's okay, everything is fine at the Ministry of Industry, but..."
Jiang Chaosheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Gu is seriously ill and has not been attending court recently. I am very worried."
"Gu Yanqing is sick?"
Jiang Jiang was startled, and the next moment, Jiang Chaosheng flicked her forehead with his finger: "Girl, don't call Prime Minister Gu's name carelessly!"
"Oh."
Jiang Jiang curled her lips and thought to herself, what's wrong with me liking to call Gu Yanqing?
I can still call him Xiao Qingqing, since he can't hear me and won't know anyway.
Big brother only cares about his idol, huh.
Although she was complaining in her heart, Jiang Jiang's hands were busy. She picked up the official hat, tiptoed, and helped Jiang Chaosheng put it on. Then she asked curiously, "Little... ahem, what's wrong with Prime Minister Gu? Aren't you his man? Didn't you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to check it out?"
There is no such paragraph in the original book.
Jiang Jiang was a little puzzled, but when she thought about the description of these two months in the original book, she found that...
Spring turns to summer, and the annual Qiqiao Festival is here again.
Okay, as a line from the novel says, we have to wait for dozens of days.
Thankfully, this isn't some fantasy novel, otherwise the protagonist would be in seclusion all the time, and by the time "One Hundred Years Later" rolls around, the grass on her grave would probably be three feet tall...
"I've been to the Prime Minister's residence, but it's always been closed to visitors. Prime Minister Gu won't see anyone."
Jiang Chaosheng's voice was filled with worry, because there were rumors in the court that Prime Minister Gu had actually left the capital secretly a long time ago.
There are also rumors that Prime Minister Gu has contracted an incurable disease and is probably dying...
Jiang Chaosheng didn't know which one was true and which one was false.
Seeing Jiang Chaosheng so worried, Jiang Jiang sighed: "Since you are my brother, I will go and ask for you. The Prime Minister will not see you, but Sister Gu will definitely see me. We are good friends."
Jiang Jiang is still somewhat confident about this.
"Yes, you and Miss Gu are good friends, so you should go and ask her, go now." Jiang Chaosheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. How could he have forgotten this?
"Go now? I treat you like a big brother, but you really treat me like a beast of burden!"
Jiang Jiang raised his hand and knocked the official hat that had just been put on Jiang Chaosheng askew, then turned around and left angrily.
Jiang Chaosheng: ...
Little girl, your temper is getting worse and worse.
"I'm going back to sleep."
Jiang Jiang yawned and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Don't forget to go to Gu's house!" Jiang Chaosheng reminded her loudly before leaving.
…………
Although Jiang Chaosheng didn't give her a good look, Jiang Jiang still came to the gate of Gu's house after breakfast.
The servants in the Gu Mansion already knew Jiang Jiang and were very respectful to her.
Yunling received the message and quickly welcomed Jiang Jiang into the yard.
Every time Jiang Jiang entered the gate of the Gu Mansion, the first thing she would do was to look at the screen wall.
"Ms. Jiang Jiang, what's so special about this screen wall?" Yun Ling had already discovered it. She found that Jiang Jiang seemed to care particularly about this screen wall.
"do not know."
Jiang Jiang shook her head slightly, but her slender fingers fell on the screen wall, stroking the red plum blossoms painted on it, bright red... like blood.
Yun Ling looked at Jiang Jiang in surprise.
Jiang Jiang came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly: "This plum blossom...is really beautifully painted."
"Ah... yes." Yun Ling continued awkwardly. The two of them did not discuss the matter of the screen wall anymore, but went directly to Gu Yanhuan's yard.
"Sister Jiang Jiang, is there any news about buying the store?"
As soon as Gu Yanhuan saw Jiang Jiang, she immediately asked anxiously. Because her elder brother had secretly left Beijing, in order to avoid unnecessary complications, she had not gone out recently, but she was still thinking about business matters.
They had all signed the contract a few days ago and had prepared the money, but... it was really hard to find a place to buy things in the big stores in the capital.
"Lao Zhang has been busy lately. Buying a shop is a big deal. For such a big transaction, we need to be cautious and not rush."
The "Lao Zhang" that Jiang Jiang mentioned was naturally Zhang Fugui. She always felt that calling him "Fugui" was weird, so she just called him Lao Zhang.
During this period, Huang E'er was busy being a good girl at home to please her mother because she had received some money from Zhu, while Yun Yue was also busy dealing with business in the outer city. Gu Yanhuan stayed indoors again. Only Jiang Jiang went to Mingyue Tower every day to discuss the matter of buying a shop with Zhang Fugui.
"By the way, why haven't you been out recently? Is there something wrong at home?" Jiang Jiang looked at Gu Yanhuan. She seemed to be in good spirits.
"I……"
Gu Yanhuan opened his mouth, then lowered his head with a guilty conscience and said softly, "My eldest brother is sick, and I have to stay home to take care of him."
"Is Prime Minister Gu ill? What is his illness? Is it serious?"
Jiang Jiang asked two more questions.
"The imperial physician doesn't know what the illness is. My brother hasn't left the house for many days, and His Majesty has graciously allowed him to rest at home."
These remarks were prepared long before Gu Yanqing left.
Gu Yanhuan always remembered his elder brother's advice not to reveal his true whereabouts to anyone, not even Jiang Jiang.
I'm sorry, Jiang Jiang, I didn't mean to lie to you, but what my brother is going to do... is really important.
Gu Yanhuan felt guilty in his heart, and the expression on his face became even sadder.
Is it...
Is Gu Yanqing really sick?
but……
"Don't worry, your brother will get better and he will be fine." Jiang Jiang took Gu Yanhuan's hand and comforted her.
Gu Yanqing's plot is concentrated in the second half of the novel, so he will definitely not go offline now.
Can't die.
"Well, I also believe that my elder brother will be fine." Gu Yanhuan smiled at Jiang Jiang reluctantly.
Yun Ling behind him turned around silently.
She was afraid that the lady would reveal the truth while chatting!
Fortunately, Jiang Jiang did not stay in the Gu Mansion for long. She talked to Gu Yanhuan for a few more words and then left the Gu Mansion in a hurry.
