Chapter 849 Who Knows The Prince's Thoughts
Gong Changji nodded firmly.

"Really, Dacheng Mansion is inland, but there is an inconspicuous small county under its rule. There is a small river in the territory that connects to the sea. Or just hide in caves, overseas smuggled goods land here, use small boats to move them, and then disguise them as ordinary goods and transport them to the capital with passenger ships."

"What is the relationship between the squires in that county and the Zhao family? If this kind of business is not run by the Zhao family, can they leave it to outsiders?"

"Then I don't know. That county is too remote, and the squires are local emperors. Even the Dacheng Mansion doesn't care much about them."

"Dacheng Mansion and the Zhao family in the official county wear a pair of trousers. They must not only know about it, but also profit from it. It's no wonder that they can control it. As long as they pay the imperial court a penny, the other things are not up to the yamen and the gentry. Forget?" Gu Yun sneered.

"The source of wealth that Shi Tianmin took over from Liang Zhongshan must be this, but we can no longer send people to check it carefully."

"If you can't go, you won't go. Safety comes first. It's not time to tear yourself apart. Now that King Yu has returned to the capital, if Tang Lin's plan is successful, how soon do you think news will spread from their palace?"

"I have no experience in this kind of thing, I have never been infected, okay?"

"Why are you so nervous? Aren't you experienced? I'm just asking."

"Your way of asking is scary, you know that?"

"I don't know, I have no experience."

Gong Changji immediately gave him an annoyed look.

Gu Yun chuckled shamelessly, rolled his eyes, drank the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and stood up.

"Forget it, I'll go home and ask Bai Kou."

"How could Bai Kou know?!" Gong Changji was surprised.

"Her idea." Gu Yun took it for granted.

Gong Changji rolled his eyes again.

Gu Yun straightened his clothes and walked away briskly.

After stepping into his Zhongming Courtyard, Gu Yun heard the latest news from Aunt Su.

Bai Kou sent her final meat sauce recipe and finished product to the palace during the day, and now she is only waiting for the palace's announcement after the selection.

Gu Yun's heart was beating wildly immediately, but he didn't want to make his servants suspicious, so he pretended to go back to his room to change his clothes calmly, and asked someone to call Bai Kou for questioning.

When Bai Kou came in, Gu Yun had just finished washing his hands and face, so he sent the girl beside him away, and asked Bai Kou to help him change into homely clothes.

"I heard from Aunt Su that you sent meat sauce and prescriptions to the palace during the day?" Gu Yun still couldn't help it.

"That's right, now we're just waiting for the final result." Bai Kou quickly fastened Shizi's clothes, and smoothed out his wrinkles by turning around in front and back.

"Isn't there still a few days before the deadline?"

"I'm out of inspiration, so let's do it, I've tried my best." After dressing, Bai Kou threw the clothes he just changed into the dirty clothes basket under the wall.

"Want to be selected?"

"Think about it, if you are selected, you will get a reward."

"Do you have the confidence to beat others?"

"I don't know. Although the basic flavor of the recipe is based on their local flavor, I also added other seasonings. God knows which one Mrs. Lan Bao will choose. If she loses, she has nothing to say. Her After all, their home cooks know the taste of their hometown best.”

Gu Yun heard the meaning of Bai Kou's words as if she didn't know what to say, so he didn't know what to say. He was reluctant to let Bai Kou really take this opportunity to regain his freedom and leave him, and he was even more unwilling to let Bai Kou go away. Kou looked at him marrying a wife and having children in the future, all kinds of conflicts entangled, naturally his face was not good-looking.

Bai Kou just finished tidying up and poured tea at the table. Seeing that Shizi was still standing in front of the full-length mirror in a daze, she took the teacup and walked over to pass the tea.

"What are you thinking? You look so ugly?"

"I miss you." Gu Yun took the tea with one hand, and blurted out what was on his mind completely without thinking about it.

"Ah? Judging by your face, it seems that you don't think anything good about me?" Bai Kou immediately took two steps back with a look of vigilance.

"I won't sell you again." Gu Yun came back to his senses at this moment, remembering what he said just now, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"If you really want to sell me someday, remember to put it up for auction. The highest bidder wins. I just want to see if my worth is the most expensive slave in history."

"It must be, don't think about it."

Gu Yun was actually not thirsty, he just came back from drinking tea at Gong Zhangji's place, but at this moment he still drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, but just kept it in his mouth, turned around pretending nothing happened and put the cup back on the table .

Seeing this, Bai Kou followed immediately, and seeing Shizi's hand reaching for the teapot again, she held it first and filled a cup again.

Gu Yun's hand turned a corner at this moment, and Bai Kou put down the teapot. Gu Yun grabbed Bai Kou's hand, pulled her into his arms, and skillfully stabilized her head, pouring the tea in his mouth into her. mouth.

The unsuspecting Bai Kou was choked, and immediately stomped on him as a response. Gu Yun accepted it without saying a word, and hugged Bai Kou even tighter, wishing that the two of them would merge into one, so that there would be no need to wait and see again. Always keep it in your heart.

"You've been very wrong lately." Bai Kou, who regained her breath and her own mouth, patted Shi Zi on the chest with the strength to cause internal injuries.

Gu Yun was beaten so hard that he couldn't stop coughing. He held Bai Kou's hand that made a mess just now, and the two of them intertwined their fingers.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you still refuse to admit it? From the tip of your hair to your toes, there are four words written all over it, and you are restless. You smooth sailing son, why are you so anxious?"

"Isn't this a little anxious waiting to see the excitement of Prince Yu's Mansion." Gu Yun happened to bring up the topic of chatting with Gong Changji.

"Oh, well, I don't know if he succeeds or not. He stayed in Dacheng Mansion for a month. If he survived the illness successfully, and counting his journey back to Beijing, he should have fallen ill by now."

"So sure?"

"Illness. It takes time to get sick, rebel in the body, and finally break out on the surface of the body. King Yu traveled a long distance, and his body was already prone to illness when he was tired. If he was really sick, he would not Now at least there is a little reaction, such as itching or something, but he has a government doctor, maybe he has been treated by the government doctor, if he starts to get sick, after a few days, it will be the turn of his wife and concubine."

"If King Yu is already sick, the government doctor will definitely ask his wife and concubines to do a physical examination. Their house will be in chaos, and the family will not prepare medicines for the treatment of flowers and willows every day. The government doctor will have to get the prescription from the Imperial Hospital. medicine."

Bai Kou smiled slyly, and said in unison with Gu Yun, "Go to Tai Hospital!"

"It's up to you to handle this matter. By the way, talk to Tai Hospital about custom-made medicine bottles. All major medical centers and pharmacies in the capital are now customizing medicine bottles with factories. Only Tai Hospital is really calm and won it. Their list is one step closer to the goal of taxing ten thousand taels."

Bai Kou was held by Shi Ziqing with one hand, so she stretched out the other hand and patted Shi Ziqing on the shoulder as if entrusting him with a heavy responsibility.

Gu Yun burst into laughter, grabbed Bai Kou and put his hands behind his neck, and supported Bai Kou's back with his own hands, the two hugged each other, neither of them spoke.
