Chapter 35: Apprentice first and then partner

 Gu Yan stood at the door of the tea house, looking at Li Xiaonan holding the hand stove.

The last time he saw her, she was still wearing a jacket. This time, it was only November, why was she wearing such a thick cotton jacket and pants?

This cotton-padded jacket and pants are stupid and ugly!

Li Xiaonan entered the teahouse, faced Gu Yan's look of disgust, handed the stove to Wan Qing, patted her cotton-padded jacket, and said, "Let's go to class."

"Would you like to have class in another place today?" Gu Yan stretched out his folding fan to stop Li Xiaonan.

"Where to go?" Li Xiaonan stopped.

"Sit down and talk." Gu Yan turned down his fan and pointed to a table in the middle of the lobby.

Li Xiaonan sat down and looked at Gu Yan.

"From the moment you walk in, there will be classes." Gu Yan tapped the folding fan at the door of the tea house, emphasized his tone, and said the word "enter".

Li Xiaonan didn't say anything. She moved back and sat comfortably against the back of the chair, still looking at Gu Yan.

"Why don't you hold it?" Gu Yan clicked on the stove held by Wan Qing.

"I'm not cold."

"Yes, it's only November. Your big cotton-padded jacket and big cotton trousers are so thick, it shouldn't be cold."

Gu Yan leaned forward and stretched out his head. He curled his lips and looked at the home-woven cotton jacket Li Xiaonan was wearing. He turned the folding fan a few times and wanted to reach out and take a photo, but he didn't dare.

This little girl is sharp-tongued, ignorant, and fearless. Forget it, don’t mess with her.

"This is a thin cotton jacket and thin cotton trousers. Sister San is making me a thick cotton jacket and thick cotton trousers. The cotton trousers are so thick that they can stand on their own." Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan and said with a smile.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows very high. After a moment, he stretched his head forward and asked with a serious face: "Then how can you walk when you put on the thick cotton jacket and thick cotton trousers made by your third sister? How can you walk? You can't even walk with your arms.

I can’t bend, how can I eat?”

"Where are you going to class?" Li Xiaonan did not answer Gu Yan's teasing.

Gu Yan waved his folding fan at Shi Gun, who hurriedly signaled everyone to retreat to every corner and outside the front and rear doors.

"I am the Crown Prince Rui."

Gu Yan paused and was thinking about what to say to make this smart but ignorant little girl understand. Li Xiaonan curled her lips and said, "I've known it for a long time. It's very noble!"

"Of course you are noble! With a high position and great power comes great responsibility. We must worry about the rise and fall of the world and the suffering of all people." Gu Yan lowered his voice, with a serious look on his face.

Li Xiaonan rested her arms on the table and looked at Gu Yan.

He started with such a digression, where did he want her to go to class?

"It has been nearly a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Every part of the empire has been extremely prosperous. However, the sea tax and water transport tax revenue have been declining year after year in the past twenty years. I came to Jiangnan this time to check the sea taxation department and the water transport and tax revenue of the rivers.

Division."

Li Xiaonan put down her hands and stopped holding her chin after hearing half of it. When Gu Yan finished speaking, Li Xiaonan also lowered her arms, sat upright, and subconsciously looked left and right.

Gu Yan looked at her with a smile.

This little girl is so narrow-minded.

"To check taxes, you have to look at numbers. I found someone who is very good at calculating accounts and looking at numbers. He is also a scholar. But his ability comes from nature. Can you teach him? Shu Xiu is another matter." Gu Yanqian.

Staring at Li Xiaonan.

"Where are the classes?" Li Xiaonan asked.

Gu Yan laughed out loud.

Alas, this little girl is so petty!

"The matter I want to investigate is a treasure trove of gold and silver. If I investigate it all the way, I don't know how many people's wealth will be ruined. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your father, so you have to be extremely cautious. It will definitely not work here."

Gu Yan paused and looked at Li Xiaonan who glanced sideways at him.

"You have thought of it, right? The Wangfu Villa occupies a very large area, and there is a courtyard dedicated to checking these numbers, right there."

"Just come to your house, I said..."

"The price is easy to negotiate, just mention it." Gu Yan interrupted Li Xiaonan.

Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan and said nothing.

"Wan Qing is the one who takes you back and forth. How about letting Wan Qing accompany you in your business and never leave you?" Gu Yan continued.

"Oh~" Li Xiaonan trailed off, "You have made up your mind a long time ago. So you are just talking nonsense about fate and destiny? Are you just asking me to teach you the numbering technique?"

"We are really destined, okay, okay, okay, just think it's because I want you to teach." Gu Yan was halfway through talking, and when he saw the corners of Li Xiaonan's mouth twitching down, he immediately stepped back and gave in.

"Then you asked Ah Wu and Yu Ting to take charge of Beixing Wharf because of important matters for you?" Li Xiaonan asked smoothly.

"Awu is looking for you?" Gu Yan asked clearly.

"How did you know that Awu was looking for me?" Li Xiaonan was a little angry.

"Then the couple went to other places one after another. When I didn't see them, they went to find Wan Qing. Did Wan Qing direct them to you?" Gu Yan turned the folding fan and concealed such a small matter.

But my appearance.

"How did you know they were looking for Wan Qing?" Li Xiaonan's eyes widened.

"Wan Qing is the person next to me. If I don't even know that Ah Wu has been looking for her, do you think I'm a fool?" Gu Yan stretched out his arm in front of Li Xiaonan and tapped his fingers on the table.

Li Xiaonan leaned her back against the back of the chair.

"Then why did you use Awu and not use it anymore? If you don't use it, then you don't need it. You have to explain it clearly to others. You are very noble and don't want to see Awu, so you have to send someone to explain it to them? Also, you let them

If you are in charge of the wharf, but you have turned your back and refused to let them manage it, how can they still work on the wharf? Aren’t you ruining other people’s jobs?”

Gu Yan held the edge of the table with both hands and looked forward at Li Xiaonan. After a moment, he raised his hand and slapped the table hard.

"You are the first one who dares to accuse me like this! You can do it, you have the ability! You are awesome!"

Li Xiaonan pursed her lips tightly and glanced sideways at Gu Yan.

She always felt that he was more like a liar than a royal prince.

"I'll ask someone to talk to Yao Wu and arrange a way for them to survive, okay? Tell me how much it will cost!" Gu Yan shook open the folding fan, shook it twice, and put it away again.

"The business is outside the city, very far away, and I have to come and go..."

"Having a car and a horse, half an hour is enough, all in all!" Gu Yan interrupted Li Xiaonan and said angrily.

"Let's call it half an hour. Half an hour is a lot. If we talk for half an hour in one trip like now, it would be a waste. Two hours in one trip, plus two and a half hours on the road."<

/p>

Li Xiaonan paused, stared at Gu Yan, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Five taels per trip..."

"Okay!"

"I haven't finished speaking yet. Let's go and pay 50 taels in cash and keep another 50 taels in account. If you save enough fifty taels, give me a banknote." Li Xiaonan continued.

Gu Yan sighed slowly, "Five taels in cash are to be paid to your eldest sister? Five taels in accounting, are you trying to hide your private money? Are you going to save your dowry now?"

"Is that okay?" Li Xiaonan ignored Gu Yan's sarcasm.

"Okay!" Gu Yan readily agreed.

"Your family is really rich." Li Xiaonan sighed.

"At the end of the day tomorrow, I'll ask Wan Qing to pick you up." Gu Yan tapped his folding fan in front of Li Xiaonan, "It comes with a lunch, so you take advantage."
