Chapter 180 Li Xiaonan's Ghost Talisman

 Gu Yan came back more than two quarters of an hour earlier than the previous two days.

It was the same little nugget from yesterday. Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing had just set up a table with fresh cow's milk, goat's milk, tea, rock sugar, and a small pot and stove, preparing to boil caramel for milk tea. Wan Qing was frightened when she heard Shi Gun's shout.

I almost threw out a large bowl of fresh milk.

"Think about it again! You really didn't break the rules?" Li Xiaonan grabbed Wan Qing and asked again hurriedly.

"After thinking about it, there shouldn't be any." Wan Qing answered without any confidence.

"He is much earlier today than yesterday! Get out quickly, don't let him in! He didn't come in yesterday!" Li Xiaonan pushed Wan Qing, followed behind Wan Qing, and hurriedly greeted her out.

Gu Yan stood at the door of Xiao Nuan Pavilion, glanced at Nuan Pavilion, and then looked at Wan Qing, who looked nervous, and Li Xiaonan, who had a dry smile on her face. Just when he was about to look at Nuan Pavilion again, Li Xiaonan walked over to Gu Yan

In front, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Wan Qing's eyes widened when she saw it, and she wanted to pull Li Xiaonan, but Li Xiaonan's steps were too fast, and she could no longer reach her, so she could only stare in panic.

This damn girl walked in front of the prince! This is called treason!

Li Xiaonan rushed to the big warmth pavilion in one breath, turned around and looked at Gu Yan, who was following him slowly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to her quick reaction, the lake was finally over.

Gu Yan followed Nuange, Shi Gun followed behind, and put the suitcase in his hand on the table.

"It's said that glutinous rice and lotus root are in season. I happened to pass by Yang's old shop and asked Shi Gun to buy some. You can try it." Gu Yan took the wet handkerchief and wiped his hands while motioning to Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan opened the suitcase, took out the glutinous rice lotus root, and asked Gu Yan first, "You can try it too."

Gu Yan curled his lips in disgust, "I never eat these messy things."

Li Xiaonan put the plate in front of her, picked up a piece, dipped it in some osmanthus honey, and took a bite.

The glutinous rice is elastic, the old lotus root is fragrant and pink, and the osmanthus honey is sweet and pleasant.

Gu Yan sat across from Li Xiaonan, took the tea and took a sip. He watched Li Xiaonan eat two slices, raised his hand and motioned for Wan Qing to take it away, "I won't be able to eat any more dinner. Let Wan Qing try it too."

Li Xiaonan put down Kuaizi angrily.

"Have you been to Linhai Town?" Gu Yan poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Li Xiaonan.

"Well, shopkeeper He said that his son He Xiangsheng has always been with you?" Li Xiaonan asked.

"What's wrong?"

"Why not let him do the errands that Mr. Zhou did?"

Gu Yan glanced at Shi Gun, who was standing at the door of Nuan Pavilion. Shi Gun met Gu Yan's gaze, took a few steps back, and retreated to the steps of Nuan Pavilion.

"I don't trust them, father and son." Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan and said.

"Why are you worried? Since you asked me to see Mr. He, you are hesitant, right?"

"Hmm." Gu Yan snorted vaguely.

"I'm definitely not as smart as you. I can make you hesitate. What I can tell is definitely limited. Then it's better to see how they do things.

"The people around you, like Shi Gun and others, must be loyal. Like the He family and his son, they can just do your job well. Why force them to be loyal?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan met Li Xiaonan's gaze, snorted for a moment, "Tell me, where do you see that although the He family father and son are not loyal, they can be used?"

"I didn't see it from anywhere, just guessing.

"You are hesitant. You must have intuitively realized that they are not as loyal as Shi Gun or that Uncle Hong. With this intuition, you must have asked someone to check the He family and his son, but nothing was found.

Otherwise, there would be no need for me to go and have a look.

"I think your intuition is not wrong, and mine is also very accurate.

"The He family and his son, Shi Gun, are different from Uncle Hong and the others. Uncle Hong, the palace, and Shi Gun are closely related to you. If you are not good and the palace is not good, they will be shattered to pieces, but the He family is not necessarily right?

"You also said that the He family is a member of the royal family, and the disciples are not slaves, right? I heard that the Cao Si in Liangzhe Road is also a disciple of whose family?"

Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan's expression.

Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, slowly clenched the hand on the table, and then relaxed it little by little.

After a while, Gu Yan said slowly: "A disciple of the He family is not a disciple like Jiang Caosi."

"Then what's the difference between a disciple of the He family and a disciple like Hong Bo? What's the difference between a disciple like Jiang Caosi?" Li Xiaonan stared at Gu Yan's expression closely.

I don’t look good, but I still have room to ask one or two more questions.

"The He family sees itself as a disciple like Jiang Caosi?" Gu Yan asked instead without answering Li Xiaonan's words.

"No. Shopkeeper He is famous for being shrewd, even in the whole of Jiangnan. He has crossed more bridges than I have walked. How could I detect his words and see his thoughts?

"But based on my intuition, I think he is quite good. He wishes you well and also wishes Jiangnan well.

"On the way back, I was thinking about this matter. After thinking about it for a while, I came up with the word disciple. Is there a difference between you and Mr. He, the shopkeeper, about the word disciple?

"Also, shopkeeper He specifically mentioned that his son is with you. I was wondering, does he want to show his attitude through actions? If you don't trust him, could he have already felt it?

"Old shopkeeper He is extremely shrewd, an old fox that has become a spirit." Li Xiaonan clicked her tongue.

"You're not bad either. Even if you haven't become a spirit, you're still close." Gu Yan pulled down the corner of his mouth.

"I'm much worse than you. If you want to become a spirit, you have to become a spirit first." Li Xiaonan said back unceremoniously.

"I will go to Linhai Town tomorrow to meet He Chengze." Gu Yan changed the topic.

Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan and frowned.

"The purpose is to pay homage to the virtuous corporal, not to raise an army to question the culprit." Gu Yan said angrily.

"Look, I said you must have become a spirit first." Li Xiaonan smiled with her eyes bent.

"You have nothing to do tomorrow?" Gu Yan snorted.

"Yes, I have to go visit my weaver school. I've been delayed for two or three days because of your work. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Let Wan Qing go with you." Gu Yan said.

"Why is she going there? Ask her to write you a letter every day to report? I am not your servant, nor your disciple!" Li Xiaonan glared at Gu Yan.

"When you bought those weavers, did you choose them yourself? Are the teachings of your weavers correct? Are they good? Can you tell whether the fine cloth is well woven?" Gu Yan said, curling his fingers.

Tap on the desktop.

Li Xiaonan choked up when asked by Gu Yan.

"If you don't want Wan Qing to report it, then don't report it. I'm so busy that I don't have time to care about you!" Gu Yan snorted.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. You went to Linhai Town for me. This is a thank you gift." Gu Yan leaned back on the chair.

"The thank you gift for going to Linhai Town is squirrel and mandarin fish. I owe you a favor for this trip. You can send me again!" Li Xiaonan said with a smile.

Shi Gun brought a few boys in with food. After eating, he sent Li Xiaonan away. Gu Yan walked back and asked Shi Gun: "What's going on in Xiaonuan Pavilion?"

"My dear Master, I asked Miss Li to make some caramel milk tea." Shi Gun replied with a smile.

"Has it been done?" Gu Yan frowned.

What is caramel milk tea?

"Not yet, I said I just got everything."

Gu Yan hummed, walked a few steps, and said, "Let the kitchen go up and ask about this caramel milk tea."

"Yes."
