Chapter 642
Isn’t this private room a good place? If there is a lot of noise in such a location, it will attract everyone’s attention.
If Gu Wenheng shouted at this moment, everyone below would be able to see him as soon as they looked up.
"Master Ning has put a lot of thought into finding a place like this."
How could Ning Yuchen not hear the double entendre in his words? Since Gu Wenheng didn't point it out, he just stood there pretending to be stupid and pretending he didn't understand.
"There are no outsiders here now, Lord Ning, please speak directly if you have anything to say."
Ning Yuchen, "...Actually, it's all my selfish desire. I want to ask Master Gu for advice on how to rise to higher positions like you."
Gu Wenheng, "Master Ning, is this what you want?"
Ning Yuchen nodded, "You also know that I have been in this position for such a long time, I hope you can give me more support."
Gu Wenheng chuckled, "No matter what you do, you should be down-to-earth. Things gained through calculations are ultimately empty.
If this is what Lord Ning is talking about, then I can only tell you that I can't help you.
If there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."
Ning Yuchen was already confused at this point, and couldn't find any excuses at all. He could only quietly step aside and wait for the group to leave.
Standing at the window and watching a group of people leaving the teahouse, Ning Yuchen's face immediately changed.
"Brother Jiang, what did you find when you went up there just now?"
Mingfeng and others returned to the mansion and saw the master enter the backyard. They immediately couldn't wait to find Jiang Shuiniu.
"It's nothing, just a careless woman." They have seen a lot of calculations like this over the years.
In Law City, there are many people who try every possible means to squeeze people into the adults' backyard, but so far, no one has succeeded.
"It's the same thing again," Ming Feng didn't find it new, "These people really don't have any new ideas, they just keep using the same few tricks.
You said they have investigated everything clearly and have forgotten the Gu family motto. "
You know, the master already has two legitimate sons. If he follows the clan rules, he cannot take a concubine in this life.
Jiang Shuiniu, "Money can move people's hearts, but these people forget that it is the Madam who truly controls the Gu family's money."
Ming Feng: "...Why can't these people figure it out?"
Gu Wenheng also talked about this with Jin Qianqian in the backyard.
Jin Qianqian was not worried, but teased, "I don't know what kind of beauty she is. It's a pity that you didn't see her."
Gu Wenheng, "What's the pity? I don't even want to ask Jiang Daniu. Don't have any contact with Ning Yuchen anymore."
Jin Qianqian, "Do you want me to ask someone to investigate what's going on?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "Since you can't figure it out, don't bother with these people.
I just got the news that He Gaofei and his colleagues have also been demoted."
“They’ve all been promoted.”
Gu Wenheng, "Yes, they were all promoted one level each. He Gaofei is now the prefect of Daocheng.
By then, he might have to take care of our hometown more."
Jin Qianqian, "This is a good thing for us. At least we don't have to worry about our families when we are away from home. What about Master Wu and Master Lu?"
"They were both sent to different places, but both were sent to coastal areas. Maybe the current ruler also wants them to follow their previous experience and make new achievements." Gu Wenheng expressed his guess.
Jin Qianqian was surprised for a moment, but then she became worried, "This... copying exactly is not suitable for every place.
If something goes wrong then, the responsibility will be huge.”
"So I made an appointment with them to meet up later." After all, they have been helping each other for several years, and Gu Wenheng still hopes that the three of them will be better in the future.
"I'm afraid they won't be able to control themselves when the time comes," Jin Qianqian sighed, "Don't forget that they have a superior above them, who may not be as easy to talk to as you."
Gu Wenheng touched his nose, inevitably feeling a little guilty.
When he was in Lucheng, he often oppressed these people. Without the cooperation of the three of them, things would not be so smooth.
"Don't worry. Everyone has their own way of survival. Besides, although they don't hold prominent positions and their families are weak, their situation is much better than ours. After all, they have a solid foundation and some relatives."
After hearing what he said, Jin Qianqian shook off the question and said, "In the future, try to entertain guests at Tianfu Restaurant, and don't go to other remote or unfamiliar places."
Gu Wenheng looked at her with a smile, "With so many people around me, nothing will go wrong."
Jin Qianqian, "I'm afraid that some people will risk their lives for wealth and fame. What would happen if someone suddenly pounced on you and got hit?"
Gu Wenheng opened his mouth to refute, but then he felt that this was really possible, "I will pay attention."

Ning Yuchen walked around the teahouse and finally ran out of it in a hurry.
Looking at the open door deep in the alley, he slipped in without even saying a word.
"Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Yao..."
"Brother Ning, I'm here," a lady wearing a green dress and carefully dressed up walked out of the room at this time.
"Are you okay?" Ning Yuchen looked her up and down.
Yao Niang's eyes were red, "Brother Ning, I'm fine.
But the person who suddenly broke in was very rude. He actually dragged me directly from the second floor to the back street.
I was so scared at that time that I originally wanted to go back to the teahouse, but that man glared at me fiercely. The ferocious look scared me so much that I dared not to move, so I came back first.
I am sorry, Brother Ning, you have made plans for me, but I am too timid to go to such a family."
"You silly girl, you know that Gu Wenheng is now a third-rank official, and his family has abundant assets. When the time comes, I will help you make some arrangements. You can get a wife, but at least you can get a concubine.
As long as you give birth to a child, you will have a lifetime of wealth and glory."
Yao Niang shook her head. "I just asked someone at the intersection. Lord Gu is about to take up his post in Yi Province. Even if we trick him into accepting me, I will have to follow him to take up his post. How can I survive in the backyard without anyone to rely on?"
Brother Ning, I know myself well. You look down on a country girl like me. How could you tolerate me when you are in a high position and have all kinds of women? "
Ning Yuchen's face flashed with guilt, "I am sorry for you, but I just thought that he was a kind person, and you will have a good life if you follow him.
Since you don't like it, let's just leave it at that.
But it's not a long-term solution for you to stay here. How about I borrow some money from someone and help you buy some land in a nearby village?"
Ning Yuchen regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.
Yao Niang covered her face with a handkerchief at this time, "It's me who is dragging down Big Brother Ning. If you find it troublesome, don't bother me anymore. Anyway, I can get some laundry work outside now, so I can always survive."
