After traveling through time, she still led the villagers to make money as a county magistrate

Chapter 58 He Feng (3)

“That’s what I said, but I always feel something is weird.”

"By the way, that woman was laughing very happily."

"Hey, your sister bought rouge and powder, wouldn't she be unhappy? Women dress to please themselves, don't you understand?"

"Oh, I forgot, you are the only son of your parents, and you don't have a sister. Blame me, blame me."

Chen Hao slapped his head.

Zhou Mi rolled his eyes at him

"Sir, why are you back?"

Chen Hao was the first to see Gu Niannian

Zhou Mi turned around and said, "Greetings, sir."

"You were just saying that He Zhubu's family makes rouge and powder?"

Gu Niannian asked

"Well, his mother is quite good at making rouge and powder. Half of the women in Lin'an have bought rouge and powder from her shop."

"Could that fragrance be the scent of powder?" Gu Niannian whispered to herself

"Sir, what did you say? What smell of powder?"

"Just now, we went to visit Mr. He. When we entered his room, we smelled a very pleasant fragrance. Do you know what it was?"

After saying that, Gu Niannian finally reacted, "Well, how would you know if you haven't even tried to smell it? Okay, go back to your work!"

Chen Hao pulled Zhou Mi and was about to walk out, but Zhou Mi turned back halfway. "The fragrance you mentioned, isn't it a slight mint scent mixed with other herbal scents? I can't tell what specific herbs it is."

"Yes, yes, that's the smell. County Magistrate Wu said it smelled like ointment, but it didn't smell like ointment to me, so I thought I'd ask if you know any."

Zhou Mi, "The scent of the sachet he carries with him is this."

Zhou Mi pulled Chen Hao and asked, "Do you smell it?"

"It's just a sachet, what's so strange about that? There are so many women who like him, it's not normal to give him a few purses, don't you have one yourself?"

Chen Hao said impatiently

Gu Niannian looked at the sachet on Zhou Mi's waist. It was embroidered with mandarin ducks, and it was obvious that it was made by a woman. "A gift from a woman? Looks like good things are coming!"

Gu Niannian half-jokingly said

Zhou Mi stared at the sachet for a moment, then pulled it off and made a gesture as if to throw it away.

Seeing this, Gu Niannian stopped him and said, "It's a pity to throw away such a good sachet."

Zhou Mi took it down and took a look at it. "It's nothing to regret. The person is gone. Why keep the sachet?"

Gu Niannian, "What do you mean?"

"No one is alive?"

"No, sir, the girl he was seeing before was originally on good terms with him, but suddenly she changed her mind. This sachet was given to him by that girl."

Seeing that Gu Niannian's thoughts were getting more and more crooked, Chen Hao explained

"Oh, then just throw it away! It's not good to be reminded of someone else when you see the item."

Zhou Mi had three black lines on his head, thinking, you change your mind too quickly, it was you who told me not to throw it away, and it was also you who told me to throw it away.

"Forget it, I won't throw it away, it smells pretty good."

Zhou Mi put the sachet back on his waist

Now it was Gu Nian's turn to have three black lines on his face. He thought, this child is still in his rebellious period.

"Is this girl married now?"

Gu Niannian suddenly asked on a whim

"no"

Zhou Mi answered honestly

"Have you ever asked her why she suddenly changed her mind? I see you're handsome, and this afternoon I heard you say your family situation is simple, and the conditions are pretty good. Logically, if you agreed at the beginning, you shouldn't change your mind later."

When Zhou Mi heard that the other party did not agree to get married, he felt very disappointed. He kept thinking about whether he had done anything that displeased the girl during this period. However, he was a clean and honest young man who did not gamble or go to brothels.

The young man was too shy to go to someone else's house to ask the reason.

"Is there any need to ask? The most likely thing is that I found a new employer that is better than mine," Zhou Mi said with certainty.

"Then why hasn't this girl gotten married yet?" Gu Niannian asked her question

"Maybe the man didn't like him."

The man Zhou Mi imagined was He Feng

This straight guy is a straight guy. He only relies on his own guesses throughout the whole process and never verifies the authenticity of the events.

Gu Niannian held her forehead

"I think there might be other hidden secrets, it would be better for you to ask."

Gu Niannian advised

"Just retreat. What's the point of asking? You're just asking for trouble. Even if you ask, what's the use of knowing the answer?"

Gu Niannian slapped her head and said, "I forgot you were in your rebellious period. I need to talk to you in a different way."

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. That woman is fickle as you said, and it's not worth asking."

"Who... who said she's fickle? He Zhubu is indeed better than me. Who wouldn't like a man like that? I can only blame myself for not being good enough!"

Gu Niannian looked as if she had been struck by lightning. "You...you mean, she likes He Feng?"

"Of course it's true. I saw her coming out of He Zhubu's house a few days ago, and she was very happy."

Gu Niannian was petrified instantly. "You're being too arbitrary! I just heard from you that He Zhubu's family started out making rouge and powder. It's not surprising that a woman would place an order with him."

"That's what I told him too. I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He insists on blaming He Zhubu."

Chen Hao echoed

"He Zhubu treats him much better than he treats us. When he goes out on patrol, he'll buy him whatever he likes to eat, even though he'll calculate the number of servings, one for each person in the yamen. I've noticed after going out with He Zhubu a few times. Every time he buys him something he likes to eat. We're probably benefiting from his kindness..."

Now it was Zhou Mi who was struck by lightning, his face flushed, "You...what do you mean?"

Chen Hao hurriedly explained, "I...I didn't mean that. I meant that He Zhubu treated Chen Hao as his younger brother and treated him well, but he didn't know how to appreciate it and slandered He Zhubu."

Gu Niannian asked, "Is Master He married?"

Chen Hao shook his head. "No, I'm also puzzled. He's 23 years old this year, which means he should be old enough to get married. He's not bad in terms of conditions, so he should be able to find someone if he looks for one. But he's not in a hurry at all."

Is he like Li Jing, preferring not to settle for anything he doesn't like? If he can't figure it out, then forget about it. He'll figure it out when the time comes. This has always been Gu Niannian's philosophy.

"Gurgle" Gu Niannian's stomach made a sound

"Have you eaten?" Gu Niannian suddenly asked

Chen Hao and Zhou Mi shook their heads and nodded

Gu Niannian, "Did you eat it?"

Zhou Mi, "No, the food in the government office today is not very tasty, I thought it would be okay to skip a meal."

"That's just right, I haven't eaten either. If anyone of you knows a restaurant, please order some dishes." Gu Niannian took out two taels of silver and placed them on the table, pushing them towards Chen Hao and Zhou Mi.

"There's a good restaurant on East Street. I'll go buy some food and treat you all to a meal." Zhou Mi's emotions came and went quickly, and he said generously.

"How can I let you treat me? Take the money. Consider it as compensation for the fact that you resisted the urge to scold me this afternoon and explained your situation clearly."

Chen Hao and Zhou Mi looked at each other, then scratched their heads in embarrassment.

"Okay, go ahead! I'll also take a moment to look at the files."
