"Qingxuan thanks you for your grace!" Chen Qingxuan's eyes were filled with tears. He immediately lifted up his cotton robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Zhong Minge.
"Hurry up, it's just a simple favor, why do you need to do such a big gift?" Zhong Mingwei hurriedly helped Chen Qingxuan up, and handed another envelope to him, saying, "Here is a little gift from my wife and me." Seeing that Chen Qingxuan was about to refuse, Zhong Mingwei spoke again before he could speak, "If you were going alone, I would definitely not prepare this for you, but now Miss Gu is going with you, so if you carry a little more money with you, the girl will suffer less, don't you think?"
Chen Qingxuan was still a little hesitant: "But this..."
"If you feel bad about it, you can just return it to me later," Zhong Mingwei stuffed the two envelopes into Chen Qingxuan's hands and patted his shoulder with a smile, "Even the Grand Tutor said that you are a rare talent. You will definitely be a pillar of the country in the future, and maybe even a high-ranking official. By then, are you afraid that you can't pay me back this little money?"
"Master, you are joking," Chen Qingxuan couldn't help laughing. With this laugh, he felt relieved. While accepting the envelope, he bowed deeply to Zhong Mingwei, "Thank you very much, Master. Qingxuan will definitely not let you and the Master down."
"Whoa!"
The sound of a carriage was heard outside. Zhong Mingwei patted Chen Qingxuan on the shoulder and said, "It should be the guards sent by the prefect. Let's go and take a look."
This time, when Chen Qingxuan went to the capital, his carriage and guards were all sponsored by Fang Zuotang. Fang Zuotang had always had a good impression of Chen Qingxuan. If Chen Qingxuan was not so thin-skinned and soft-hearted, he actually wanted to send some silver to Chen Qingxuan.
"Why...you?" Chen Qingxuan and Zhong Mingwei came to the door together, and saw Kong Wenmin jump down from the carriage swiftly. Chen Qingxuan was stunned, "Didn't we agree to let Guard Xiao Deng take me to the capital?"
"Your subordinate greets you!" Kong Wenmin was busy bowing to Zhong Mingwei. Seeing Zhong Mingwei nod and enter the courtyard, he suddenly became lazy, leaning on the carriage and talking to Chen Qingxuan, "You mean Xiao Deng? His family has an emergency and he can't leave. It just so happens that I'm very free at the moment, so I transferred my job with Xiao Deng," Kong Wenmin said to Chen Qingxuan while tapping his leg lightly with the whip. Seeing Chen Qingxuan's hesitant expression, Kong Wenmin was immediately unhappy, "What's with that expression? Do you dislike that I don't drive as well as Xiao Deng?"
"No..." Chen Qingxuan pursed his lips, walked to Kong Wenmin, looked towards the yard at Zhong Mingwei who was talking to Grandma Chen, and said to Kong Wenmin in a low voice, "My cousin is going too this time, and I'm afraid... I'm afraid she'll be uncomfortable."
Kong Wenmin was stunned, and immediately understood.
It was he who rescued Gu Qingtong from the ruined temple that day, and it was he who took off his cloak and put it on Gu Qingtong. When he heard what Chen Qingxuan said, he looked a little embarrassed: "This... I don't know about this, and no one has told me about this..."
"Guard Kong," before Chen Qingxuan could speak, Gu Qingtong came out of the courtyard, walked in front of Kong Wenmin, and bowed deeply to Kong Wenmin, "Guard Kong, I don't need to thank you for your kindness!"
"Miss Gu, please don't!" Kong Wenmin hurried forward to help Gu Qingtong up. He actually didn't want Gu Qingtong to mention this. At this time, seeing Gu Qingtong standing in front of him, Kong Wenmin felt very relieved. "I heard that you are going to the capital with Mr. Chen?"
