Han Zeyu's career ambition suddenly came into play, and Su Shien had to spend the wonderful vacation alone in her empty room.
He was idle and met someone else who had nothing to do. Su Shien and Gu Chengyi got together, under the pretext of finding something to do, but in fact they were just exchanging witticisms with each other.
"Looking at how familiar Brother Mingran is with the place, he really is very wealthy and has hidden his wealth!"
"My dear brother, you are wrong. Isn't it obvious enough that I expose myself on a daily basis?"
Gu Chengyi was choked and suddenly remembered the black horse wearing four gold chains and parading in the city.
Although he has ordinary qualifications, he relies on his possessions to make his worth exceed that of a Ferghana horse.
"Brother Mingran is truly the envy of others for having his lover, friends, and family by his side during the Spring Festival."
Su Shien waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly, "That's not true. It was just luck. The third place winner is clean-handed and free. Everyone has their own interests."
Gu Chengyi made a last-ditch effort: "Our salary is too meager. It's hard to live a life of poverty!"
Su Shien shook his head and sighed, looking at Gu Chengyi with a look of disappointment.
She opened her thin lips slightly and said something that Gu Chengyi would remember for the rest of his life.
"When you are young, you don't know the sweetness of soft rice, and you mistakenly waste your youth on planting rice seedlings. When you have a taste of this rice, you will know how good it is."
Su Shien scored a double kill, and before Gu Chengyi could react, he had already walked away with his hands behind his back.
"I, you, you make me so mad!"
Gu Chengyi's face flushed red, he stood up angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Dare you laugh at him? He's getting married in six months, and then I'll definitely blackmail him.
Su Yunsong followed Tiezhu around for a stroll, and finally felt a little more energetic and vibrant.
Han Zeyu almost tried to find a way to live in the Colosseum. It was so comfortable there and he got a lot of benefits from it.
This trip was very fruitful and the money was well spent. It was worth it.
Han Zeyu, in a particularly cheerful mood, distributed red envelopes to everyone as they started working.
Full of sincerity, a big red envelope of eight taels of silver.
It was mainly given to outstanding employees He Mengying and Zhao Xun, but Tiezhu shamelessly got one as well.
Han Zeyu suddenly felt that her husband was pitiful.
Whatever others have, my Enen must have too!
She immediately generously donated a huge red envelope of 18 taels and 8 qian to her husband.
Su Shien's eyes lit up. As an old couple, whether they loved each other or not depended on money.
Yu Ge'er said that if you love someone, you don't have to spend money on him.
But if you don’t spend money on him, it means you don’t love him.
As expected, my husband loves me the most. This big red envelope is really attractive.
With some private money, my back is extra straight.
Tiezhu carried ten boxes of cakes to the Dali Temple and distributed them to his colleagues with whom he had a good relationship.
This included his immediate superior Zhou Yi, who was thanked for praising Tiezhu for "telling the truth" in his year-end review.
Su Shien thought he was not very popular, so he only brought three boxes of pastries.
The first person to be sent to was the Hanlin scholar who often helped him approve leave applications.
Gu Chengyi, who was seriously hurt by his words, also received a box of consolation prizes.
The honest Guo Bangyan is his neighbor, so he should also give him a box.
After receiving the snacks, Guo Zimu sincerely thanked Su Shien.
People used to give New Year gifts and continued to give gifts after the New Year.
A low-ranking official like him who was short of money had never enjoyed such treatment, and he felt mixed emotions.
Su Shien saw that he could not hide the worry in his eyes and brows. Why did he look more haggard after the New Year?
Wherever there is gossip, there is Gu Chengyi.
Guo Zimu looked at the two people in front of the table and suddenly felt that he had made a mistake in making friends.
Never mind, it's not something difficult to talk about. Maybe telling him about it can help him come up with some ideas.
"It's nothing serious, actually. Before the New Year, someone came to the capital to visit my concubines, but they left without saying goodbye not long ago, and there has been no news since then."
Gu Chengyi asked in confusion, "He came all the way to visit his concubine before the New Year? This is a bit against common sense!"
Guo Zimu nodded. "It's a bit strange indeed. The father and daughter said they came from afar to look for their relatives and even stayed at my house for a few days. They told me they had nothing to do when they came, and they left without even saying goodbye."
"How many days have they been gone? Since they're just father and daughter together, nothing will happen."
"Maybe! The girl went out to the temple fair, and then her father left too. It was inexplicable."
A light bulb went off in Su Shien's head. Could the woman who disappeared on the day of the temple fair be the suspected human trafficker caught by Tiezhu?
"Isn't your concubine anxious?"
"Oh, don't mention it. She doesn't know anything when asked and starts crying when asked again. I don't care anymore. We are all adults. How could she be abducted?"
Su Shien was not in a position to comment on this as he had never seen Guo's concubines.
But according to Yu Ge'er, that woman doesn't seem to be a good person, and it seems that she is not a concubine that Guo Zimu took on his own initiative.
The key point is that we are so poor that we can’t even afford to take a concubine!
With doubts in mind, Su Shien went home and held a small seminar.
According to Tiezhu's description, the woman's age and physical characteristics matched Guo Zimu's description.
Su Shien turned around and asked Yuger's opinion.
Han Zeyu said weakly, "They are all pawns, small shrimps. It doesn't matter whether you catch them or not."
Su Shien was puzzled. What was wrong with this person? He was the one who loved to listen to gossip the most!
Han Zeyu was indignant: "Other people's families are in trouble one after another, but why hasn't the person we've been waiting for come yet?"
Su Shien was also helpless. The story had been serialized for two issues, but so far it was still calm.
Han Zeyu reflected deeply: "Is it because my fighting power is too high? With me in charge, they dare not act rashly?"
Tiezhu suddenly realized and proposed a feasible plan.
"Master, why don't you go back to your hometown in the name of spring planting? That way, the bad guys won't dare to show up."
Han Zeyu thought this plan was feasible. He would then swagger out of the city and throw a smoke bomb for the enemy.
Su Shien poured a bucket of cold water over his head: "I am Mr. Erqi who wrote the storybook. Even if they want to attack, they will come at me."
Han Zeyu thought about it and it made sense. The hidden master in their eyes was Su Shien. Whether he was around or not had no effect on his actions.
After all, he had hidden his brilliance as a peerless master so successfully that in the eyes of the world, he was just a little white lotus in the prosperous age who needed to be cared for, guarded, protected, and loved.
Tiezhu instantly looked constipated, indicating that he didn't want to say more.
Su Shien sighed and said, "As long as you are happy."
