Chapter 119 Concern
"I wanted to come and talk to you about the fall from the building."
Guo Zhi and Ye Minzhi looked at each other and smiled mysteriously, "Second sister, you don't have to tell me, I know everything. Those two young ladies are our classmates. I have already figured it out."
Guo Xin looked at the group of young ladies who were looking at Guo Zhi from a distance, and laughed, "Well, it's just that my elder sister is already very busy here, so don't leave her alone to have fun."
"Sister, please go to the private room to rest. Minzhi and I can stay here." Guo Zhi said to Guo Ruo with a smile. It was obvious that she was still immersed in the gossip just now.
Guo Ruo shook his head helplessly, tapped Guo Zhi's forehead, and said, "You!"
In the private room, Zhao He sat alone on a mat without saying a word. He sometimes looked at the scenery outside the window, and sometimes looked at the empty space opposite. The soft sunlight shone on Zhao He from the window.
After Guo Xin left, Wen Yan and Pei Yuan were also ordered to wait outside the door, staring at the people coming and going, like two door gods.
"Pei Yuan!?" Guo Ruo followed Guo Xin back to the private room. Before he got close, he saw Pei Yuan, who looked like a door god with a sign "No entry" written on his face.
Pei Yuan, who had been keeping a cold face, was obviously startled when he heard the voice. He looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman with a curtain. He was a little puzzled. When the woman came closer, he realized it was Guo Ruo and smiled, "It's you!"
Guo Ruo looked a little worried and asked, "Were you injured when you rescued someone downstairs just now?"
Wen Yan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This Master Pei Yuan had attracted another love interest. Moreover, considering Pei Yuan's strong body and powerful martial arts, it is impossible for him to get hurt after just taking on those two women.
Pei Yuan heard this, looked at his hands hanging on both sides, raised his right arm slightly as if unintentionally, and said with a "hiss": "Thank you, young lady, my hand seems to be a little sprained because of holding those two women. I felt fine when I put it down just now, but it hurts a little when I move."
Guo Ruo heard this and asked anxiously, "Is it serious? Can I take a look?"
After saying that, he immediately realized that he shouldn't have said such a thing, and said, "We should go to the clinic quickly."
Guo Xin looked at it from the side, then smiled, shook his head and walked straight into the private room.
Wen Yan saw it and followed him in. He really couldn't stand Pei Yuan's poor acting skills anymore.
Zhao He stared at the empty space opposite him in a daze, seeming to be enjoying this moment of relaxation. At this time, he heard footsteps and turned around to look.
Seeing Guo Xin holding the curtain in her hand and walking with a smile on her face, she couldn't help but be infected and asked with a smile: "What happened to Miss Guo that makes her so happy?"
Upon seeing Zhao He, Guo Xin's expression became much more restrained.
Zhao He sat in the sun, smiling at this moment, looking like a young man who knew nothing about the world. If he were outside, many women would throw their handkerchiefs at him. However, Guo Xin had no fascination in her heart. She just felt as if there was a fly buzzing in her ear, so she asked, "Sir, do you like the scenery here?"
Zhao He chuckled: "Maybe? I always feel like there is something attracting me here, but I don't know what it is."
Guo Xin did not respond. He sat on the futon, calculating with one hand and looking at the account book with the other. He started a new conversation: "How are the workshops and hot pot restaurants that you built in other cities?"
Zhao He didn't expect Guo Xin to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's all good, but I can't give you the money until later. I'm in a hurry to use it, so I'll just consider it as a debt for now."
Guo Xin immediately put down his abacus, looked up at Zhao He, and said unhappily, "Young Master, why didn't you inform me about this matter in advance, but made the decision on your own?"
Although she was not in a hurry to use the money, and when her grandparents came here some time ago, the dignitaries around knew her identity and sent a lot of generous gifts to the house, so she was not short of money, but this was not the Sixth Prince's reason.
She has always hated people who don't keep their promises, and Zhao Liu in front of her is such a person.
Zhao He heard the displeasure in Guo Xin's tone and knew he was in the wrong, so he had thought about informing him in advance.
But my third brother needed the money urgently, and there were many affairs in the capital. Although I was far away from the capital, my third brother trusted me very much and wanted to discuss many matters with me, so I forgot about it in a moment.
Zhao He said, "Miss Guo, this matter is indeed my negligence. I can immediately write you a receipt and write down the interest."
Guo Xin looked at him for a while, and thinking about the extra money, he felt better, and said lightly: "This is not impossible, but when I worked with Manager Mo in the past, there was never any mistake."
Wen Yan was waiting on the side. Although he knew he shouldn't interrupt his master when he was talking, he couldn't help but said, "Miss Guo, my master has been very busy lately. It's not that he doesn't want to give it to you. He once asked me to send the silver to your house when the time comes."
"But I thought that since this is the case, it is better to have less trouble than more, so I thought that I would explain everything clearly when I give you the money."
When Guo Xin heard this, he didn't react much and continued to use the abacus. The only sound in the private room was the sound of the abacus.
Although she was still mechanically calculating the accounts with her hands, her mind was a little confused.
What on earth could have happened that made Prince Zhao He and his subordinates forget the rules? The royal family attaches great importance to rules, and unless something big happens, these small things would not go wrong.
After being in the Jokhang Dynasty for some time, I have gained some understanding of it. The current emperor is old and ill, but he is reluctant to appoint a crown prince.
The princes below are in their prime. If Zhao Liu, a prince, can be kept busy, what else could it be?
It's nothing more than a rebellion or a struggle for power.
However, there is chaos on the border right now, which is already an external worry. If the princes fight with each other, there will be an additional internal strife.
She didn't want to think too much, but her business depended on the prosperity of the Zhao Dynasty. Only when the Zhao Dynasty was prosperous could she make a lot of money and the people could live in peace. If the Zhao Dynasty was in chaos, how could her business be good? Where would the people go?
……
"Master, I have inquired and found out that the one who saved the young lady today was the young master of the Pei family - Pei Yuan."
Lu Jingshu was sitting aside, and when she heard it was Pei, she immediately burst into smiles. She had been worried about what to do if the young man's family background was not worthy of her?
When he heard it was Pei, he felt relieved. As long as his father and mother acted as matchmakers for him, then the matter would be a sure thing.
When Envoy Lu heard the name Pei Yuan, he asked, "Pei Yuan? Isn't that the son of Pei behind the Sixth Prince?"
