He couldn’t make any expressions, or else his lips would stretch all the way to his ears.
He wrote: "Every day there’s good food and drinks, and lots and lots of guards, with endless silver to spend."
At this moment, the Duke was like a villain coaxing a little child!
Gu Jiao widened her eyes and asked: "But didn’t the Duke Residence exhaust its family fortune already?"
"I earned it back," the Duke wrote with a smile in his eyes.
That look seemed to say, your godfather is nothing short of a small commercial prodigy.
Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow and said earnestly: "Silver or no silver, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is I want to build my relationship with you, godfather."
The Duke laughed in his heart.
Gu Jiao was not pretentious and didn’t say things like if we went, it might bring you danger.
She was the Duke’s adopted son, and the Duke Residence had long been entangled in this dispute, or it could be said that the Duke Residence had never really emerged from it.
From the moment the Duke exhausted his fortune to collect the bodies of Xuanyuan family sons, he had already declared his stance to the entire Dayan.
Gu Jiao conveyed the Duke’s proposal to Xiao Hen.
Xiao Hen always felt that the Duke harbored a father-in-law’s hostility towards him. In the past, he might have refused easily, but when he thought of the little monk’s landlord-like stern face, he found the Duke Residence not so hard to accept.
—Refused to admit he was stingy for a meager 500 taels a month!
Xiao Hen hesitated: "And there’s the inner city token for Senior Master and the others... I’ll handle that."
Gu Jiao responded with an ’oh’ and said: "No need, the Duke said he can arrange it."
Xiao Hen felt like he was hit over the head.
I actually missed my chance to show off in front of Jiaojiao.
Why do I feel an inexplicable strong sense of crisis?
Is it too late to change my mind and rent the little monk’s mansion——
With the living arrangements decided, Gu Jiao planned to return to the inn, and Little Jingkong wanted to go with her, only to be dragged back by Xiao Hen.
Xiao Hen irritatingly said: "You are now my little sidekick."
Little Jingkong was exasperated.
Ah ah ah, a bad brother-in-law is really too unlovable!
...
After parting with Gu Jiao, the Duke immediately set about handling the matter. The token was tricky, but there was one family that had the privilege of issuing them.
