"No need to thank you." When Hua Lian saw the outsider, the tears in her eyes gradually disappeared, and she regained her calm calmness:
"I almost killed Zhou Hongyang...but I didn't think about it at the moment. If I had figured it out at the time, you and Zhou Hongyang would have been burned to death by me, and I don't deserve your thanks."
Seeing Zhou Hongyang knock down Qiuniang, he thought of his sister, so he went to save Qiuniang.
But on the way back to Yanyu Tower, he felt that he had missed an opportunity to kill Zhou Hongyang.
If he locked the door and locked Zhou Hongyang inside and burned him to death...
Of course he would be willing to sacrifice an innocent life to avenge his entire family being wiped out.
After his whole family was wiped out and he had to crawl around in the world of mortals for another year, Hua Lian was no longer the ignorant and naive rich man he once was. He would do whatever it took to get revenge.
"I don't feel happy for saving you, but I feel sorry for missing the opportunity. So, you don't need to feel that I saved you." Hua Lian dropped these words and turned around to leave.
Qiuniang stared blankly at his leaving figure...
After coming back to his senses, he chased after him with broken steps:
"Master Hua Lian! Wait a minute! No matter what you thought after saving me, at that moment, you chose to save me. If it weren't for you, I would have died..."
Qiuniang ran to Hua Lian, her watery eyes full of sincerity and gratitude:
"Thank you for saving me, sir. Qiuniang will always remember your kindness! If you need anything, Qiuniang will definitely help you!"
No matter why Hua Lian saved her, whether he regretted saving her after saving her...
But he literally saved her life.
She should repay this life-saving grace!
Hua Lian's eyes paused on her face for a moment. What he said was clear enough, but this little woman...
I still feel like I should repay him.
He is a stupid and kind person.
Quite like him before.
Hua Lian didn't say anything, turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
After buying some banknotes and ingots and paying homage to the whole family in the wilderness, Hua Lian went to meet Jiang Rong.
"The Crown Princess has shown great kindness to me. I have nothing to repay. I only have one life. I am willing to do my best for the Crown Princess." Hua Lian bowed to Jiang Rong.
Jiang Rong smiled lightly, "I am here to avenge Qiuniang, so you don't need to thank me. We cooperated and killed Zhou Hongyang together, which is not a great favor. From now on, you are free and you can go wherever you want. Go wherever you want, do whatever you want.”
Hua Lian thought for a moment that these words sounded familiar.
The Crown Princess does not need him to repay his kindness...
He also told Qiuniang just now that she did not need to repay her kindness.
"But the Crown Princess did help me avenge my whole family. Such a great favor, I cannot accept it calmly." Hua Lian answered truthfully.
If it weren't for the imperial concubine, it would be difficult for him to take revenge on his own. Not to mention redressing the injustice for the whole family...
Although the Crown Princess didn't go out of her way to help him, he appreciated her kindness.
"In that case...are you willing to stay in Wanjuan Study Hall?" Jiang Rong thought for a while and said:
"My study is short of a person in charge. He is responsible for controlling the content of each issue of books and integrating the intelligence network."
Song Heng is going to take part in the imperial examination. After he wins the Jinshi, he will definitely quit his job as a book editor...
Mr. Zhou could compile a book, but he couldn't hand over the whole book to him.
Qiuniang is in charge of business, not only the study, but also other businesses will be handed over to her one after another.
Jiang Rong is in need of a manager of Wanjuan Study Hall, who will be responsible for controlling the content of books, integrating style collection information, etc...
In the previous life, this person was Hua Lian.
Jiang Rong was kind to him at that time.
He stayed to repay the favor.
This life has not yet reached the stage of life-saving grace, but Hua Lian is still Hua Lian, and the grudges are clear, so I must repay her.
Hua Lian was slightly stunned.
It would be easier to be a book editor, but let him do information?
Does the Crown Princess trust him, an outsider, so much?
But since the Crown Princess made such arrangements, he naturally would not refuse and said solemnly: "I will do my best."
After this matter is arranged.
Jade came to report, "Prince Princess, Qiuniang is here."
"Let her come in." Jiang Rong said.
Qiuniang followed her maid in to salute, and was very surprised when she saw Hua Lian standing aside. She gave him a slight glance and then looked away.
"Qiuniang, you came just in time. Let me introduce to you that Hua Lian will be the person in charge of Wanjuan Study Hall from now on. You can discuss the matter of the study in the future. I asked Feicui to buy several houses near Qingshi Street. You guys You two choose what you like, and from now on, study guards must be arranged to guard the house." Jiang Rong said.
Jade walked forward holding a tray containing several land deeds.
Hua Lian and Qiu Niang declined almost at the same time, "This is too expensive..."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other at the same time, and then quickly looked away.
Jiang Rong chuckled and said, "It must be accepted. This is all for your safety. After the selection is made, in addition to the daily guards, I will also have someone install a whole set of mechanisms to ensure that the bad guys never come back."
Unable to postpone it any longer, the two of them each took a land deed.
Jade looked at the location on the land deed and said with a smile, "Those two will be neighbors from now on, and they can still take care of each other, which is just right."
……
That night.
Qiuniang and Hua Lian moved to their new house on Qingshi Street.
Jade is a smart person. He had already asked someone to clean the yard, and all kinds of commonly used furniture were also available.
Qiuniang didn't know what her neighbor was doing, but the lights in his house stayed on all night.
Early next morning.
Tuk Tuk——
There was a knock on the door.
Qiuniang pushed open the courtyard door and saw a carriage parked at the door. The carriage was hung with the sign of Wanjuan Study, and it was accompanied by eight guards with swords.
The young master in a green shirt and a mask with a lotus pattern stood in front of her door:
"So as not to bother them with two trips. Shopkeeper Qiu, would you like to go to the study together?"
Qiuniang was a little dazed, "Are you... Mr. Hua Lian?"
"Hua Lian's bad name will inevitably cause trouble for the study. From now on, I will change my name back to Tao Han." Hua Lian said calmly.
"Oh... Mr. Tao!" Qiuniang suddenly came over and said, "Then... let's go to the study together."
The two of them entered the carriage together.
Tao Han picked up a volume of "Qianqiu" and read it carefully. There were dense markings on the book...
The pen and ink marks are still fresh, it must have been written last night?
"What did the young master write on this...?" Qiuniang asked curiously.
Tao Han replied, "Summary, classify, and annotate. Disassemble the articles that the Crown Princess wants from the articles in the former Western issue to determine the inclusion rules for the next issue."
Qiuniang: What is he talking about? I don’t understand it but I think it’s awesome.
""Qianqiu" may seem complicated, but the purpose of the imperial concubine is very clear." There was a hint of deep admiration in Tao Han's eyes.
What a strange woman to control the public opinion in the capital!
Qiuniang still didn't quite understand, but she felt that the newly appointed director of the study in front of her...
He is really very competent!
On the first day he took office, he already acted like a boss.
