Chen Xing hesitated and didn't know how to answer, but Gu Lang beside him said indifferently, "I am his husband."
Hearing this address, the official was obviously stunned for a moment, first glanced at Chen Xing who was showing embarrassment, then looked at Gu Lang with a calm face, under Gu Lang's cold gaze, he stammered and said: "Then, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years!"
Gu Lang slightly raised the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Thank you, we will."
It wasn't until Gu Lang left with the blushing Chen Xing that the official came back to his senses, stared at Gu Lang's thin back, and muttered to himself, "Why is this man scarier than the magistrate?"
The officer shook his head as if he couldn't figure it out, and when he saw the paperwork that had been crossed out on the table, he muttered with some doubts: "Since this brother already has a husband, why did the higher-ups specially order us Take care of him?"
The official couldn't figure it out, so he didn't want to continue thinking about it. Ordinary people like them could understand the thoughts of those nobles. He put the completed contract back in the box, and he returned to his seat and continued to lift it up. Erlang legs.
Ever since hearing Gu Lang say those words, the heat on Chen Xing's face has never gone down. The last time Qiu Jiu said something like this, he could take it as a last resort. But when Gu Lang said these words, his mind began to be disturbed.
Chen Xing felt that there must be something wrong with him, otherwise why would he blush so easily when facing Gu Lang.
Gu Lang glanced at Chen Xing, who was blushing, and could guess his thoughts a little bit, so he just quietly stayed by his side, and didn't say anything more.
Neither of them spoke, and walked down the street in silence, when they suddenly heard a loud noise not far away.
Chen Xing subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, and curiously sized up what happened there, only to see a group of people surrounded by the gate of the yamen not far away, most of them were old people and children , only a few sporadic young people.
Chen Xing felt a little strange, and he didn't care about the subtle thoughts that had just arisen. He was all attracted by the group of people who didn't know what they were doing.
Gu Lang saw that he was very curious, and reminded him softly in his ear: "Since we are curious, let's go and have a look."
Chen Xing felt that it was not good to join in the fun, but he had never seen such a scene before, so he hesitated for a moment and nodded.
After the two passed by, Chen Xing learned from their few words that these people had been bullied by Mr. Lai. Hearing that the county magistrate had dealt with Mr. Lai, and now they were looking for witnesses and victims, they all rushed over. Some people who lived further away even set off overnight after hearing about the incident.
Chen Xing looked at most of them, their clothes were all tattered, and some of them didn't even have a pair of good shoes. But even so, Master Lai did not let them go for his own benefit.
Chen Xing felt that he was very lucky, and he was also glad that the Lai family had already been punished before he was troubled by Lai Jiu.
Chen Xing couldn't bear to look at those people who were waiting here for justice, and was about to turn around and leave, when he saw a person striding out of the wide-open yamen, looking at the official uniform The style should be the county magistrate.
The magistrate of that county came out and looked at the people who were crying bitterly, begging him to uphold justice for them, and said loudly: "Everyone, don't worry, the county magistrate already knows about your demands. Now, we have prepared ginger Soup, everyone drank it first, and then lined up, we will have someone to record it."
Chen Xing watched the county magistrate giving orders in an orderly manner from a distance, and then looked at the face that was no more than thirty, and couldn't help sighing: "This county magistrate is really young and promising!"
Gu Lang, who was originally looking at all this indifferently, slowly shifted his gaze back to Chen Xing after hearing what Chen Xing said, and after seeing him staring at the magistrate with admiration, he suddenly said: "Didn't you say Want to take me around the county town?"
"Oh, that's right." Chen Xing quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at Gu Lang who was standing beside him, and hurriedly said, "Let's go quickly, or it will be dark later."
When the two turned to leave, the county magistrate, who was being worshiped by the people, seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly looked in the direction of the two of them, and finally fixed his eyes on the back of Gu Lang, and said with some doubts: "That man Why is his figure so familiar?"
*
Leaving the government area, Chen Xing asked for Gu Lang's opinion, and led him to the busiest street here.
At first, Chen Xing still thought that even if Gu Lang hadn't come back for a long time, he would definitely be familiar with this place, and he felt that he couldn't introduce anything.
It wasn't until Gu Lang asked him what some shops sold when he was walking, and Chen Xing answered in a straightforward manner, that Chen Xing suddenly realized that Gu Lang's time away from home really made him a stranger to this place. up.
Looking at the change in Chen Xing's expression, Gu Lang seemed to see his doubts, and smiled softly: "Are you curious why I grew up here, but I don't know what these shops are for? of?"
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang a little embarrassed.
Gu Lang didn't seem to notice the discomfort on his face, looked at the bustling street in front of him, and said softly: "I was too young when I left here, and I stayed outside for too long. I can't even recognize it."
Chen Xing looked at Gu Lang who said these things calmly, and vaguely felt that his current emotions were the same as when he was looking at a cloudy sky with rain.
Chen Xing didn't like this kind of Gu Lang for no reason, he quickly changed the subject, pointed to a restaurant where the family came and went, and tugged at his sleeve, "I heard that the desserts there are very good, let's go make some Do you want to go back?"
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's unabashed desire to change the subject, then looked at the lively restaurant not far away, slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and said softly, "Okay."
Seeing that Gu Lang agreed to his request, Chen Xing hurriedly dragged Gu Lang to the restaurant.
As soon as the two arrived at the door, the waiter in the store came out to welcome them. When he saw Chen Xing who was dressed in coarse cloth, the enthusiastic smile on his face froze for a moment, and he said in a not so polite tone: "You two want this?"
Chen Xing was not angry with his attitude, just about to tell him to ask him to make some dessert for them, when he heard Gu Lang's cold voice behind him, "Let's eat."
It was only then that the shop clerk realized that there was a person standing behind Chen Xing. He looked for the voice and saw Gu Lang standing behind Chen Xing in a green shirt with an indifferent expression. Facing Gu Lang's indifferent gaze, Xiaoer Dian was instinctively afraid for some reason.
The moment Gu Lang opened his mouth, Chen Xing was stunned. He tugged on Gu Lang's sleeve, wanting to say that they were only here to pack desserts, not to eat here!
Unexpectedly, Gu Lang patted his hand, and after reassuring him with his eyes, he turned his head to look at Xiao Er who was standing beside him, and said politely, "Please take us to a place by the window."
"Yes, yes." Meeting Gu Lang's gaze, the little girl quickly restrained her expression, invited them to their seats respectfully, and eagerly handed the menu to them.
Chen Xing felt that the price of vegetables starting from fifteen yuan was a bit expensive, but looking at Gu Lang who was staring at him kindly, he couldn't say that he didn't want to eat.
Seeing his hesitation, Gu Lang stretched out his hand to take the menu in his hand, quickly ordered pork with pickled vegetables, fried pork with shiitake mushrooms, seaweed and egg drop soup, and then returned the menu to Xiao Er.
After Xiao Er assured that they would serve the food soon, Chen Xing remembered that the things Gu Lang ordered just now were all his favorites, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing and comforted him: "Don't worry, I just received Juren's salary yesterday, and I paid for the script two days ago, so it's still enough for a meal."
Chen Xing didn't know how much salary Juren could get in this era, but when he heard Gu Lang say this, he felt a little relieved, but said with a bit of distress: "However, when we buy vegetables and go back to cook, we don't even get one-third of the money. unuseful."
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's appearance as a money fan, but there was a doting smile on his face, and he said with a smile: "Aren't you going to open a restaurant in the future? This restaurant is the biggest one here, and the food should be There are also unique places, you can try the food here first, and it will also help you to open a restaurant in the future. It is better to hit the day if you choose a day, rather than taking time to come here later, today is just free, and it will not hurt you to try it.”
Chen Xing didn't expect Gu Lang to think this way, seeing the faint smile on Gu Lang's handsome face, he felt a little warm in his heart. He was no longer pretentious, nodded towards Gu Lang, and said in a bold tone: "I will definitely open a restaurant bigger than this restaurant in the future, please eat every day!"
Gu Lang looked at his shining eyes, then nodded lightly, "I believe you."
The cooking speed of this restaurant is very fast, as soon as Gu Lang and the others finished speaking, Xiaoer came up with the dishes they needed.
Seeing that the food was not bad in appearance, the two did not continue to talk about the topic just now, but ate quietly and occasionally communicated.
After both of them had finished eating, Chen Xing still felt a little pain when he looked at the fifty Wen that Gu Lang handed over.
Gu Lang watched Chen Xing try his best to hide his distress, and suddenly felt that he was a little cute. He reached out and touched his head, and comforted him softly: "It's okay, just treat it as the fee for the early tasting."
"En." Feeling the force on his head, facing Gu Lang's gentle face, Chen Xing's face turned red involuntarily, and he responded softly.
When the two of them left together and stepped out of the gate of the restaurant, there was a figure in red on the second floor of the restaurant following them closely, and finally landed on Gu Lang.
"Miss, what are you looking at?"
