Chapter 484 I Want Egg Drop Soup Too

The person they were thinking of had been standing at the gate of the yard watching them for a long time.

At least he was standing there when Gu Jiayue came out with the bowl of egg drop soup.

But no one noticed him.

The two people were addicted to interacting with each other.

Drinking soup, pouring water, talking about ideals and the future, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, it is really a very pleasing picture.

Jiang Luli felt like a real masochist. As a prince, what kind of woman could he not get? Why did he worry so much about Gu Jiayue?

Is she, Gu Jiayue, so unique?

Okay, she is indeed unique, but there are women like her in Da Gan.

For example, a woman who joined the army in place of her father in this war relied on her martial arts skills to rise from a soldier to a centurion.

For example, the first female merchant of Dagan, relied on her wisdom to snatch back the position of head of the family from the three illegitimate sons after her father's death, and took control of all the businesses left by her father.

There are many women like this who are capable and have special temperaments, and Jiang Luli doesn't have to have her!

She, Gu Jiayue, is just smarter, more knowledgeable, more nice, and prettier. What's the big deal?

He comforted himself and walked towards the yard.

His heavy footsteps caused the two men to turn around at the same time.

Gu Jiayue looked at her, her eyes shining. "Jiang Shanzhang, why are you here?"

Jiang Luli's heart sank again. "Not only did I come, I was here for quite a while. However, my recent practice of invisibility has been very successful, so Principal Gu and County Magistrate Zheng didn't see me."

Uh, Jiang Luli is in a bad mood.

However, Gu Jiayue didn't take it to heart. This person was just like that, and there was nothing to take seriously.

As a big boss, you should have the capital to be willful.

"Mr. Jiangshan, have you eaten? If so, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." Gu Jiayue was just being polite. As you passed by my house, I casually called you to come home and sit for a while.

"Okay, I'm quite interested in egg drop soup recently. Please make me a bowl too."

Gu Jiayue's face was filled with sorrow. It was so hard to communicate with the boss. How could it be like we were back to when we first met? That little mouth could poison someone to death with just one word.

It was she who asked the other person if he wanted to eat. Now that he said so, doesn't she have to do it?

"Okay, then please sit down for a while, I'll be right back."

Gu Jiayue was about to stand up when Zheng Qinghe quickly stopped her. "Jiayue, don't bother. Doesn't Jiang Shanzhang like egg drop soup? There's still a big bowl left. Just get another bowl and serve some. Don't waste it."

Uh? Sir Zheng, are you serious?

But the expression on Zheng Qinghe's face was too serious, and it didn't seem like he was joking at all.

Jiang Luli glanced sideways and said, "I don't eat other people's leftovers."

Gu Jiayue was a little embarrassed. "I'd better do it again."

After she got up and left, the two men sat there facing each other, looking at each other with anger in their eyes, but no one spoke.

In the end, Zheng Qinghe was defeated. "Have you found Xie Qingyun?"

"Not yet. My people have already been sent out. I think I'll be able to find the person in two days." When talking about business, Jiang Luli naturally wouldn't stay silent.

"Is that person really Xie Qingyun? The Xie Qingyun I know is not like that." Although they were only childhood friends, they had met briefly before when the plague broke out. Although he was a bit old-fashioned, he was not the kind of unreasonable person.

He still couldn't believe that someone like that could do such a thing.

Jiang Luli didn't actually believe it. They had spent some time together in the military camp before, and he was a military officer, with all kinds of strategies and military abilities. He was scheming and resourceful, but he also had a bottom line. It wasn't like he would do something like this, wearing night clothes and making people look like fools.

"But I saw it very clearly that day. That person looked exactly like Xie Qingyun. And he didn't object when I called him Xie Qingyun."

Zheng Qinghe fell silent. They currently had too little evidence to deduce all the processes and reasons.

"Let's talk about it after we catch him. I've already written a letter back to the capital, asking my father to help keep an eye on the movements of the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Jiang Luli glanced at him without saying anything. He would never remind him that his father might have been hanging out with the Imperial Master.

As young people, you have to experience some setbacks.

Jiang Luli's eyes were too meaningful for Zheng Qinghe to understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it and stood up. "I'll go to the kitchen and help Jiayue."

Before he even reached the kitchen, he saw Gu Jiayue coming out with a bowl. "Master Jiang, this is the egg drop soup you asked for."

"Master Zheng, the bowl I just made was a bit of a failure. You should have one too. Don't worry, I promise it will taste good this time."

Looking at the bowl of soup in front of him, Zheng Qinghe was already traumatized. "No, I'm not hungry yet. Leave it all to Jiang Shanchang."

Jiang Luli was not polite and pulled two small bowls and a large bowl in front of him. "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gu. I won't be polite then."

After drinking two bowls in a row, Jiang Luli put it down with satisfaction.

Gu Jiayue quickly handed over a cup of tea. Jiang Luli took a sip, and his frown slowly relaxed. "Master Gu, just call me by my name from now on. I'm no longer the Master of Huaqing Academy. Calling me that will cause misunderstandings."

Gu Jiayue nodded in understanding. "Then I'll call you Master Jiang. You're staying in our school to teach anyway."

"Alright."

"Did you hear what I just discussed with Master Zheng? Do you think there's room for improvement?"

"If others do it, it may not work, but if I do it, I will definitely fail."

Huh? Why is he bound to fail? He's a high-ranking prince, his father is the only prince, and his uncle is the emperor. Even with his status, he can't improve salt production technology?

So this thing is impossible to accomplish?

"That's okay. We can think of other ways. We can develop animal husbandry first. When the economy in the southwest improves, the emperor will definitely notice it, and he will reward you according to your merits, right?" But doing so would take a lot more time.

If it were before, she still had a long life ahead of her, so she could just take it slow. Her ancestors had taken hundreds of years to do it.

But what happened during this period made her feel a sense of urgency, and she always felt that she didn't have much time left.

"It's not completely without chance. I have other ways to do it."

Gu Jiayue looked at him speechlessly. Could you please speak without panting?

"So what are you going to do, big boss? Is there anything you need our help with?"

Jiang Luli shook his head. "Just give me the recipe, and I'll take care of the rest."

Gu Jiayue didn't think much about it and directly took out the recipe she had prepared earlier.

Jiang Luli put away the prescription and turned his attention to Zheng Qinghe. "Master Zheng, it's getting late now. You should go to bed early."

Are you chasing people away?

Zheng Qinghe naturally wouldn't leave to give them a chance to be alone. "It's still early, perfect time to enjoy the moon."

After saying this, he pretended to look up at the moon in the sky.

Gu Jiayue and Jiang Lulit looked up.

The moon is very bright tonight, and there are many shining stars around it. Such a starry sky will make people unable to help but sink into it.

Gu Jiayue looked for a moment, then suddenly felt her vision blur. "Something seemed to fly past just now. Did you see it?"
