Chen Xing had no idea what happened to Lai Jiu after he left, and he was hesitating how to tell Gu Lang about it all the way back to the house. After all, this is the trouble he caused. If Lai Jiu really finds Gu Fu, he is worried that it will affect Gu Lang and the others.

Chen Xing felt that if it was really impossible, he would leave here first to avoid the limelight, but he couldn't afford Gu Lang's money for a while.

Chen Xing stepped into the gate of Gu's residence with a sense of unease, and saw the yard with lush grass on weekdays at first sight. At this time, most of it has been cleaned up, and it looks a lot empty. .

Chen Xing was taken aback by this scene, and when he saw a person suddenly appearing in the grass, he looked closely but it was Qiu Jiu.

Qiu Jiu's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he opened his mouth to say something to him. After seeing Chen Xing's unattractive expression, the smile on his face paused, and asked : "Chen Xing, did you encounter any trouble when you went out just now?"

Chen Xing looked at him hesitantly, not knowing where to start.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing's embarrassed look and smiled heartily, "If you have any difficulties, you can talk to my son. The son is very smart and can definitely help you solve it. "

Listening to him, Chen Xing had an idea, he nodded to Qiu Jiu and said that he would go talk to Gu Lang.

After talking about this, Chen Xing had time to pay attention to the yard that was mostly empty. Looking at Qiu Jiu, he asked with some doubts: "Why did you clean up the yard suddenly?"

Qiu Jiu picked up the knife in his hand and waved it, his smile became a little more silly, "The rainy season is approaching recently, if you don't mess with the grass in the yard, I'm afraid you will recruit a lot by then. Bugs, it's easier to cut them all."

Chen Xing felt that what he said made sense, and then said: "I'll help you get it together later."

Qiu Jiu hurriedly refused, and said politely, "No, no, I'll be here by myself, you can cook well."

Seeing that Qiu Jiu repeatedly refused, Chen Xing did not continue to insist. After saying goodbye to him, he went to the study.

It wasn't until Chen Xing left that the smile on Qiu Jiu's face collapsed. Looking at the grass in front of him, he said helplessly: "It seems that I have to call them over to help tomorrow."

Chen Xing came to Gu Lang's study and saw the young man sitting in the study through the window. is a painting.

Looking to sense that someone was looking at him, Gu Lang raised his head and looked in the direction of his line of sight, and at a glance he saw Chen Xing who was smirking at him. Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Chen Xing, his thin lips parted lightly, and asked lightly, "Why don't you stand outside and not come in?"

Only then did Chen Xing realize that he had been standing outside the house. He patted his head in annoyance, and under Gu Lang's gaze, he slowly walked into the study and came to Gu Lang.

Gu Lang glanced at him from top to bottom without a trace, and finally fixed his eyes on his face, and said softly: "Is there something you want to tell me? ?"

Chen Xing didn't know how to speak, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "I got into a little trouble."

Hearing this, Gu Lang put down the book in his hand and stared at him intently, as if ready to listen to what he said next.

Chen Xing was more and more stressed by this look, and he said it all, "I offended Master Lai's son."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's nervous appearance, his voice slowed down, "Why didn't he come to provoke you, but you didn't have time to avoid it?"

Chen Xing was startled suddenly, met Gu Lang's gaze, and asked in surprise, "You already know?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's excited look, and said lightly: "I just heard about his son's character, so I guessed it like this. But it seems that I guessed right. already."

Hearing this, Chen Xing lowered his head, and recited the events of the past two days in a dull manner. At the end, he even asked himself to inquire about Lai Jiu's situation, only to hear that they were coming to arrest him. things were said.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's worried look, lowered his head and smiled, but at this time there seemed to be a deep spring hidden in his always gentle eyes, only to hear him whisper: "No problem, I I heard that the current county magistrate is a parental official who is in charge of the common people, and he will not allow his own scourge to continue to be a blessing."

Listening to Gu Lang's words, Chen Xing was still a little worried, "However, I heard that Master Lai is quite powerful in this county, and even the county magistrate has nothing to do with him."

Speaking of this, although Chen Xing was a little unwilling, he still told his back way, "It's really impossible, I'll leave here first to avoid the limelight, and come back after a while. It's just that the money I owe you will not be paid in a while."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's apologetic face, his face didn't change much, he just smiled softly and comforted him: "I'm not so worried, I'll go to the county office tomorrow for a walk. Come and see what the new county magistrate looks like, and it's not too late to plan other things later."

Chen Xing looked at him with tangled eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but it was difficult to say it.

Gu Lang saw through his thoughts at once, and asked without hesitation, "Are you worried that I will be kicked out if I don't see the county master?"

Chen Xing nodded embarrassedly when Gu Lang pointed out his thoughts.

Gu Lang was not angry, on the contrary, the smile on his face became bigger and bigger, he said softly to Chen Xing: "Although I am not talented, I have also passed the exam, even if I am not accepted by the government. If you are waiting to see you, you will never be kicked out, so you can rest assured."

Hearing Gu Lang say this, Chen Xing's expression changed to shock. He had heard that Gu Lang was a poor scholar, but he thought he was just a child.

Gu Lang looked at him and said softly: "Okay, that's it. I'll go to the county government office tomorrow to see what the county magistrate has planned. Just stay at home, lest you meet Lai Jiu again."

Seeing that Gu Lang arranged everything clearly, Chen Xing's nervous mood suddenly relaxed, he nodded heavily towards Gu Lang, and replied obediently: "Yes."

Looking at Chen Xing's bright smile, Gu Lang was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked away, looked out the window, and changed the subject: "It's getting late, you, it's time to go Dinner is ready."

Chen Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. He looked at the sky outside and found that it was very late, so he hurriedly left.

While Chen Xing was walking towards the kitchen and thinking about what to cook today, Qiu Jiu suddenly appeared from the side, startling him.

Qiu Jiu looked at Chen Xing, who was frightened by him, and apologized to him, then looked at his expression carefully, and found that the worry on his face just now disappeared, secretly While heaving a sigh of relief, he happily took out the chicken hidden behind him, "Let's eat this today!"

Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu's **** with at least four or five pounds in his hands, and then looked at Qiu Jiu's elated appearance. He wanted to ask something, but felt it was not appropriate.

Fortunately, Qiu Jiu answered his doubts automatically, he looked at Chen Xing and said a little embarrassedly: "This is the money I earned from doing odd jobs, the season is about to change, I think Make something delicious for my young master to replenish his body."

Chen Xing nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "How do you want to eat this?"

Hearing Chen Xing's question, Qiu Jiu said loudly without any hesitation: "I want to eat the shredded chicken you said the other day!"

Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu's excited look, he doubted whether Qiu Jiu made this chicken because his young master wanted to eat it, or because he wanted to eat it himself. However, Chen Xing just thought about it in his heart, but didn't say it. After taking the chicken in his hand, he silently went to the kitchen to deal with it.

Qiu Jiu looked at the back of Chen Xing leaving, and sighed, "It's rare to see a simple person like Chen Xing!" After sighing, he immediately chased after him, wanting to Help him cook together so they can eat quickly.

This day, Chen Xing tried his best to make full use of the dishes in the kitchen. In addition to the shredded chicken, he also made three dishes and one soup, a total of four dishes and one soup. It was so delicious that in the end, apart from Gu Lang, who had always restrained himself, Chen Xing and Qiu Jiu were all overwhelmed, and they all consumed food for a long time after the meal.

Chen Xing, who was left at home with rare free time, wandered around the empty mansion for several times, and finally decided to find something for himself. He first went to the kitchen to look around and found that there was still a small pumpkin, so he decided to make a basket of pumpkin cakes.

On weekdays, Chen Xing found that although Gu Lang didn't say anything, he would eat more sweets every time, and Gu Lang would definitely like the cakes he made.

Having a goal, Chen Xing couldn't think about it any more, and excitedly went to take the pumpkin out, weighed the weight, and started to move.

The busy Chen Xing quickly forgot the time. When he came back to his senses again, he found that it was almost time for dinner, but Gu Lang and the others hadn't come back.

Just when Chen Xing was worried about Gu Lang, thinking about when they would come back, Qiu Jiu ran in first, followed by Gu Lang, who was calm and calm.

Chen Xing looked at Qiu Jiu so happy, and was a little confused, and then saw Gu Lang raised his eyes and smiled at him: "You are lucky, I haven't come to the yamen to say What, I heard that the county magistrate has collected the criminal evidence of Master Lai, and arrested their family and prepared to deal with them together in a few days."

Hearing Gu Lang's words, Chen Xing's eyes slowly lit up, and he said incredulously: "All caught?"

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's surprised look, and could understand why he was so happy, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips, "If I didn't miss it, I should have caught it all. If you want to To see their condition with your own eyes, you can go to the yamen tomorrow."
