Chapter 187 188. First Come First Served

Jin Qianqian couldn't persuade Liu Xiaohua, so she kept her surname and changed her name to Liu Qingmei. Liu Qingmei thanked her repeatedly.

"Madam, the young master of the Le family took the ingredients from the kitchen today." Mrs. Huang rubbed her hands nervously. It had only been one day and she hadn't kept an eye on the kitchen. She didn't know if Madam would blame her.

Jin Qianqian sighed, "Let him be!"

Living under the same roof, if you are too defensive, it may not sound good.

Qingmei glanced at Jin Qianqian carefully, "Today, that lady Song asked me to help her wash her clothes, but I refused. Should I continue to wash them in the future?"

Jin Qianqian, "They have hands and feet, and from now on, I have more things for you to do, don't worry about them."

Qingmei glanced at the twin sisters who were still using an abacus, and said with a fearful look on her face, "Madam, why don't I go do the laundry? I can't learn these things."

Jin Qianqian was almost laughing out of anger, "You pushed away an opportunity that others have been begging for.

Do you really want to be a maid for the rest of your life? Don't you want to be independent and make your life easier in the future?"

Qingmei hesitated for a moment, and finally looked distressed, "I would like to, but my stupid brain is just not smart at all. I get a headache when I see those numbers.

But I am strong and can do any work well, so I can be a maid for my wife in the future."

Jin Qianqian nodded at her and said, "You are useless. Others want to live a better life, but you only want a stable life.

Never mind. I won't force you to do that, but you still have to learn a little from Zhu and Lan every day. It won't hurt you."

Qingmei made a bitter face and said, "I still have a lot to learn."

Jin Qianqian glared at him, but she took back her words.

Qingzhu looked up at them with envy, then lowered her head and started counting on the abacus.

Gu Wenheng was halfway up the mountain steps when he was stopped by someone behind him.

"Brother Wenheng, wait a minute." Lu Ping shouted breathlessly, "I didn't expect that your physical strength is better than those who practice martial arts."

After saying that, he glanced at Shan Ke'an meaningfully. This kid started to get on all fours again. It was really unbearable to watch.

"Why are you so early today?" Gu Wenheng stopped and turned to look at them. "Don't you usually arrive on time?"

"This is the last day of class this year. We can't let Mr. Nan look for us everywhere." Lu Ping said with a smile.

Although he and Shan Ke'an were relatives who were inserted into the family by force, Mr. Nan was too responsible. Even though he didn't like them very much, he still remembered to take care of them every day.

"Where is the prince?" Gu Wenheng remembered that these three people were always inseparable, not to mention the protagonist.

Lu Ping, "The prince has an appointment today, so he sent us here to ask for leave from Mr. Nan.

By the way, the New Year is coming soon, what are your plans, Brother Wenheng?"

Gu Wenheng, "Just take a good rest at home for a while, what? Aren't you going back?"

"Let's go tomorrow and see if we can get home before the New Year's Eve?" Shan Ke'an's face was full of smiles. Although he was eager to leave home at that time, when he really arrived here, he realized how good home is.

"So soon?" Gu Wenheng cupped his hands. "Then I can only wish you safe journey in advance."

"Thank you Ji Yan, but we still have to pass through Fu County. If Brother Wenheng needs help bringing things back, we can do it for you." Lu Ping now just wants to make friends with Gu Wenheng.

God knows, in his eyes, the person in front of him is a shining boy who brings fortune.

Ever since I bought a batch of goods from him last time, my mother wrote to me to praise me. This is a treatment I have never had since I was a child.

Not to mention that his family made a fortune from this, there were also some silver bills that came with the letter, asking him to find a way to get another batch of goods back.

Gu Wenheng shook his head. "I have already written home, so I won't bother you."

Lu Ping, "What kind of trouble is this? By the way, I wonder if you can rush out more goods in the next two days?"

When dealing with Gu Wenheng, Lu Ping still prefers to be straightforward. After spending such a long time together, everyone knows what's going on and doesn't like to play any empty games.

Gu Wenheng, "...Didn't we just deliver the goods?"

Lu Ping walked over with a smile and tried to hook his shoulder, but Gu Wenheng gently dodged him.

Lu Ping didn't care. "I just received a letter from home saying that this thing is so popular that my parents have already ordered all the goods before they even start shipping.

Look, the New Year is coming soon, so I might as well give my brothers some money for drinks."

Shan Ke'an finally caught up and looked at Lu Ping breathlessly, "Are you going to soak in the wine barrel? What kind of wine would cost so much silver?"

Lu Ping rolled his eyes at him and said, "Hurry up and climb up. We won't wait for you later."

"You said we were brothers, but you're stabbing me in the back so soon?" Shan Ke'an really continued to climb up with his butt sticking out. "Brother Wenheng, you can't be partial. If you prepare something for this guy, I want one too."

Lu Ping hadn't even gotten it yet, and this guy came out to mess things up, "There has to be a first come first served, Brother Wenheng, we are half fellow villagers after all, just give me a number, and I'll send someone to get it today."

Gu Wenheng shook his head with amusement, "It's only been a day or two, and we haven't made much. But when we go down the mountain, have someone follow Tianbao and take as much as they can."

"It doesn't matter. We'll take as many as you have and settle the bill with you when we come back." Lu Ping heaved a sigh of relief after getting what he wanted. Even if the quantity is not large, at least he will have a souvenir for his relatives and friends when he returns.

When Gu Wenheng saw that the matter was discussed, he turned around and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"How is it?" Shan Ke'an asked expectantly when he saw Lu Ping catching up with him.

In fact, he could have asked his cousin Bai Jinglie to share some of the profits, but he would rather snatch things from Lu Ping.

"Is that a problem if I take action?" Lu Ping said with a smug look on his face, "But let me make it clear first, I want to take the majority."

"This guy, where is the brotherhood we promised?" Shan Ke'an did not give in at all, "Half for each of us, otherwise I will go to Gu Wenheng to complain."

Lu Ping, "..."

After returning from Yingshan Academy that day, Gu Wenheng was completely free.

However, Jin Qianqian didn't see him all day. He went out early and came back late every day, and she had no idea what he was busy with.

On several occasions, Jin Qianqian stopped him and asked, but he always evaded the question.

"Don't worry, I'm doing the right thing. You'll know in a few days."

Hearing these words again, Jin Qianqian became even more curious about what he had been busy with these days, "Can't you reveal a little bit?"

Gu Wenheng smiled mysteriously, "I can only tell you it's a surprise. Please let me keep this mystery."
