Although Gu Lin comes from an ordinary merchant family, he has the support of the great general who guards the country, and is now preparing to take the imperial examination.
Even if he didn't get the first place in the exam, as long as he passed the imperial examination, he could get a good official position through General Rong's relationship.
In recent days, I heard that Mrs. Rong opened several new shops.
Rong Xuqing said that it was opened for Gu Lin, and the shop originally belonged to the Gu family.
If it is opened, Gu Lin will have security in Kyoto in the future and can also bring his parents over.
Officials’ salaries were not high to begin with, and that little money would not last them more than a few days in Kyoto, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.
He can't just sit back and wait for his parents back home to give him money.
There is General Rong in the officialdom, Mrs. Rong in the business world, and I myself am ambitious.
He is undoubtedly the most powerful potential stock in Kyoto.
I don't know what kind of person Gu Lin is.
But as long as he does not break the law, he can live a rich and peaceful life.
Although he has the Rong family as his backing, Gu Lin is still just a useless scholar.
Therefore, the noble ladies currently look down on his mediocrity.
But for Qiao Jiaojiao, this was a powerful stepping stone for her to enter the world of noble ladies and celebrities.
Qiao Sisi guessed correctly.
Qiao Jiaojiao did have a plan.
"Mr. Gu, although you belong to the General's Mansion, I have never wronged you. When you reached out to take the book, you did touch me..."
Qiao Jiaojiao lowered her eyes, looking like she had been bullied and felt extremely wronged.
"I don't want to do anything, it's just... a girl's confession..."
"Sir, you... since you have had physical contact with my daughter, you must be responsible for her."
"I didn't, I really didn't! This is what happened..." Gu Lin was sweating anxiously. He walked to the bookshelf where the incident happened, climbed onto the footstool, and gestured what happened at that time.
He did reach out to take it, but in the emergency moment he realized that something was wrong and immediately retracted his hand, and the book hit her chest.
He seemed to see Qiao Jiaojiao take a step forward, so the book shouldn't have hit her?
"Ms. Qiao, I pulled my hand back in time. I really didn't touch you. It was really the book..."
Why can't I explain it clearly?
The touch of a book and your hands should be different, right?!
Gu Lin accidentally glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao's chest, and quickly looked away as if he was electrocuted.
He also saw what was about to come out, and realized that something was wrong, so he immediately retracted his hand.
If he had known this, he would rather let the book fall to the ground or hit someone than try to retrieve it.
But it's too late to say anything.
Knowing it earlier is priceless!
Qiao Sisi kept staring at Gu Lin and noticed that his ears quickly turned red after he glanced at Qiao Jiaojiao.
Only then did he take a closer look at Qiao Jiaojiao's outfit today.
Although it is quiet and elegant, as pure as ice and jade, it is as clear as a fairy who is not stained by dust.
but……
Qiao Sisi's eyes fell on the towering chest!
“…” She suddenly felt a little dazzling, closed her eyes, and pursed her lips into a straight line.
Which noble lady would deliberately gather that part tightly and make it ready to burst out?
Her usual clothes were not that big, Qiao Sisi was sure that she had tied them up with a belt!
"But it was just you and me at the time. I clearly saw it..." Qiao Jiaojiao began to cry again. "If Master Gu doesn't want to take responsibility, I won't bother with him anymore..."
Having said that, she was about to get up and leave.
[She can't leave. If she goes out and ruins her cousin's reputation, he will have no choice but to marry her...]
Rong Chaoxi stood in front of Qiao Jiaojiao.
"Wait..." At the same time, Rong Xuqing called her, "Miss Qiao, my cousin was the one who bumped into me while telling stories. You said it was him..."
She smiled slyly and continued, "Why don't we reconstruct the scene and see what happened?"
Qiao Jiaojiao: (°ー°〃)
Qiao Sisi: @_@a
Gu Lin: (?_?)?
Rong Chaoxi: (???)?
…
"I still can't tell whether it was the book or the person who did it..." Rong Xuqing sighed helplessly, "Uncle, please put the book back up, and let's try again! Miss Qiao, please move forward a little."
"No... no need..." Qiao Jiaojiao stroked her chest, her face looking extremely ugly.
She glanced at Rong Chaoxi and saw the little guy yawning. She hurriedly said, "The situation was a bit chaotic at the time. I must have seen it wrong. Master Gu didn't hit me."
After saying that, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This was the thirteenth time. The skin under his neck had turned red, and his face was also rubbed with red marks from the corners of the book.
This made Qiao Jiaojiao, who was wearing white, look even more delicate and pitiful.
"Is that so..." Rong Xuqing smiled kindly. "Well then, Miss Qiao has finally figured out whether it was a person or an object that offended her. These dozen or so rehearsals were worth it."
She looked at Gu Lin and said, "Uncle, since you accidentally dropped the books, you should buy those books and some writing brushes, inkstones, and apologize to Miss Qiao."
"Okay..." Gu Lin agreed repeatedly.
Why did he feel that his two nieces were a little scary?
The overall arrangement of performance positions and detailed movements.
The little ones were like watching a play, laughing from ear to ear and commenting, saying this was not good, that was wrong.
Several times, when Qiao Jiaojiao was obviously about to surrender, the little guy immediately ran to her and said that she was not standing in the right position or that the sound of her scream was not right.
Be sure to adjust Qiao Jiaojiao's movements, position, and expression to the same state as the first time.
Gu Lin almost started to wonder if the little guy was watching in this bookstore at the time, which was why he knew so many details.
