The morning morning was too early, and many adults chose to go home after the morning prayer and then have breakfast.

Gu Fang was different. He ate a little to fill his stomach when he went out in the morning, and he had to make another meal in the morning.

When Jun Ruohan arrived at the General's Mansion, Gu Fang was sitting on a stone table in the courtyard drinking porridge, most of his attention was on the cage on the table.

Jun Ruohan looked at him from a distance, with a very satisfied look, it seemed that he didn't take what happened last night to heart at all.

"There is someone, there is someone." The starling in the cage jumped up and down, and when he saw a stranger at the door, he squealed.

Gu Fang turned his head to look, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, he got up and bowed his hands to Jun Ruohan very politely: "The emperor is coming to the humble house, and the minister is far away to welcome him. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Jun Ruohan's face froze slightly, since when did this person like to play tricks with him.

"I'm afraid this is not the only crime you need to forgive!" Jun Ruohan specially changed into a light blue spring jumper when he came here today, and his tall and slender figure was invisible.

Gu Fang only glanced at it, and then he was a little angry, why this man seems to have added a lot of masculinity, he is really envious of others.

Of course, this other person is himself.

As a general, he can barely be considered tall and strong, but there is still a difference between "barely counted" and "just one look".

"I haven't made any mistakes recently!" Gu Fang whispered, not to mention how honest he is recently.

Jun Ruohan picked up the small bamboo tube for feeding and stretched it into the cage to tease the starling: "Who was the one who stared at me in the hall this morning? Do you know what will happen if you commit the crime of disrespect?"

Of course he knew what would happen, but he knew that Jun Ruohan would not do anything to him, besides, why did he stare at him, didn't he have a clue?

Gu Fang let out a long sigh: "The king wants the minister to die, but the minister has to die!"

Jun Ruohan was a little speechless, this man couldn't stop singing.

But what he is most concerned about now is "Miss Chen", but since he entered the door until now, he has not seen any women coming in and out of the general's mansion.

"Why doesn't it eat?" Jun Ruohan asked what the food on the bamboo tube looked like when it was put in, and what it looked like when it was taken out.

Gu Fang supported his head and said, "You have to call him by his name, this starling is very familiar with his life."

He took the bamboo tube from Jun Ruohan's hand and stretched it into the cage: "Come on, Miss Chen."

Jun Ruohan's eyelids twitched, and sure enough, he saw that starling started to smack his head and eat.

Gu Fang held back his smile, raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows to look at him, as if asking, are you satisfied with this Miss Chen?

"You asked Lu Sheng to tell me on purpose, you're so mad at me!" Jun Ruohan couldn't hold back and flicked his forehead with his hand.

Gu Fang was unprepared, hurt by his solid bullet, and quickly covered his head: "You are too much, spending more than an hour with other people's lonely men and widows, no, maybe more hours, and now you are still playing I?"

"Does it hurt?" Jun Ruohan was not fooled by his pretentious appearance at all, and asked with a glance at him.

Gu Fang nodded: "Nonsense, why don't I play you for a while?"

"It's right that it hurts, so that you can have a good memory. Don't spend all your time on it all day long."

Gu Xinxin snorted coldly, one day I won't be jealous, you can just wait and cry!

This "Miss Chen" figured it out, and Jun Ruohan put his heart into his stomach. Looking at the porridge in front of him, he remembered that he was a majestic emperor. Just because he was stared at by this person, he didn't even bother to have breakfast. Then he ran to the mansion.

Gu Fang saw that his eyes fell on the bowl in front of him from time to time, so he called Uncle Fu and asked him to give the poor Majesty a bowl as well.

The two drank porridge and played with the birds.

"Actually, I'm still very curious..." Gu Fang said while stirring the porridge.

"What are you curious about?" Jun Ruohan asked.

Gu Fang: "What did you and Concubine Chen do in the study last night?"

After all, I still can't let go of this matter.

Jun Ruohan put down the spoon, helplessly and a little funny: "Nothing, just played chess together for a while."

"Play chess?" Is this nothing?

Gu Fang's complexion changed, don't look at playing chess is just an entertainment to pass the time, often such moments are more likely to breed some feelings that shouldn't be there, so who, Bai Yu and Jun Qianhe are the best examples.

"The various projects to be started in Yuzhou and Liangzhou require money, and the national treasury is tight, otherwise you think I'm willing to sell my appearance?" Jun Ruohan sighed.

Concubine Chen's father is an official in the court, and the official position is not big or small. The help in terms of money is almost negligible, but Concubine Chen also has a grandfather. Grandpa Chen is a rich man in Dayue. If he is willing With some effort, Da Yue's treasury may be able to reduce a lot of burden.

Gu Fang knew about this rich man, but he didn't expect it to be Concubine Chen's grandfather, so he slapped his thigh and said, "Money is so powerful that even our majesty has to bow his head in front of it!"

Jun Ruohan smiled wryly. In fact, it is not necessary to ask Mr. Chen to pay. Generally, when the country needs money and the treasury is tight, the first way is to collect taxes.

But now the people's lives are getting better, and this tax increase has put a heavy burden on them, so he wants to find another way.

Besides, this is actually a win-win thing.

Da Yue got the money to fight the disaster, and Mr. Chen got a good name. There will only be more and more opportunities to make money in the future.

Gu Fang rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then gave Jun Ruohan a suspicious look.

He felt that Jun Ruohan was lying, at least one sentence in it was false - the national treasury was tight.

Although he rested at home for two or three months, he knew many things about the court.

Not long ago, the Zhangjian Division just checked some people in the Ministry of War, among them, Zhao Qi, the servant of the Ministry of War, was the biggest fish among them.

Zhao Qi has been greedy since the reign of the first emperor until now, and all the confiscated property has been used to fill the treasury. According to the gossip that Su Yanqing gave him, Zhao Qi is probably the overlord of greed since the founding of Da Yue.

At this time, Jun Ruohan told himself that the national treasury was empty, so he had to sell his appearance to raise funds?

Fake, too fake.

But he didn't expose him, he just wanted to see what this guy was trying to do.

After breakfast, Jun Ruohan proposed to visit Luo Yu again. When Gu Fang heard the name, he wondered who Luo Yu was.

"Alright." He said.

The child in Luo Yu's belly is also of royal blood!

Luo Yu still doesn't know who they are, nor does she know Jun Qianhe's true identity, but she knows that they are definitely not fellow travelers with her.

They were not familiar with Luo Yu, so they came to visit at most to ask how their health was and whether they were still used to eating and living. From the moment they left, Gu Fang roughly estimated that the time they stayed here was no more than a cup of tea.

However, with just this cup of tea, Jun Ruohan asked the girl when she would give birth, no less than three times, and when she left, she asked Luo Yu's waiter Momo again.

Gu Fang clicked his tongue: "Those who don't know think the child is yours!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Jun Ruohan said, "It's just that my mother has been looking for me more and more recently..."

"The Queen Mother is looking for you...for what?" Gu Fang can probably guess, either for women or for children.

"The queen mother knew that I was planning to disband the harem, so she naturally refused to agree, but seeing that I refused to give in, she said that as long as I could leave blood for the royal family, she would not care about me so much." Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang didn't expect that he had already had a showdown with the queen mother, and then thought that Jun Ruohan's behavior was entirely because of himself, and suddenly felt guilty for some reason.

"You think, anyway, the flesh and blood of King Duan is also the blood of the royal family, so you have been looking forward to the landing of Luo Yu's child, don't you?"

Jun Ruohan was noncommittal, but Gu Fang knew he had guessed right.

"But……"

"It's nothing but, don't you feel very moved?" Jun Ruohan suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, and the two walked through the crowd hand in hand.

Gu Fang suddenly became nervous, and his heart was in his throat.

"Be more natural!" Compared with Gu Fang, Jun Ruohan is indeed much more natural.

Gu Fang turned his head to look at him stiffly. It is easy to say, but difficult to do!Not to mention that the two big men held hands on the street, even real couples rarely hold hands on the street.

"You said that study, how much money can you make in a day?" Jun Ruohan suddenly pointed to a small door on the side of the road. For the little yellow books, if you really want to buy a book, you have to go to the big book hall to buy it.

Gu Fang didn't know why he thought of asking this question, but he still answered his question seriously: "This kind of place can't actually make a lot of money, but there are times when the business is good. This kind of study doesn't make money by selling books, but mainly by renting books. The cost is low, and you can earn as much as you rent.”

Jun Ruohan nodded, and then asked: "Have you ever thought about what you plan to do for a living if you are no longer an official in the court?"

Gu Fang was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little puzzled: "Why don't you become an official in the court? I am a person who is motivated to become a minister of the big humerus."

"I mean if."

Gu Fang tilted his head and thought for a while: "If... I haven't really thought about it, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"

He felt that Jun Ruohan was very strange today.

"It's nothing, just ask casually." Jun Ruohan said, "However, in my opinion, a person with your temperament will definitely not be able to endure hardships. It's not bad to open a study."

Gu Fang was amused: "If I stop being an official, I'll sell the General's Mansion. Do you know how much that mansion can sell for? What kind of study will you open then? You won't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!"

Jun Ruohan took his hand and squeezed it hard, and Gu Fang's hand hurt from him.

"Your general's mansion was bestowed by me, so you just sold it?"

Gu Fang was speechless: "Don't I just talk about it, you still take it seriously!"

Having said that, Gu Xin's doubts became even greater. This person is soliciting money from the treasury and caring about Prince Duan's children. He also asked him what he would like to do for a living if he were not an official.

Gu Fang seemed to be struck by lightning, could it be... Could it be that he thought...
