Xie Jingxi had not been relaxed for the entire day, but Gu Yun was actually quite at ease. He had been guarding a pot of tea all morning, and in front of him was the registrar of the warehouse.

Everyone did not go home to eat lunch, some people even brought their own food, if the conditions were better, there would be someone to give it to, like Gu Yun, who could definitely come back after he had eaten. But since he had just started his job, it was not good for him to be special, so he brought it here every day.

That day, Zhao Zhang brought over a box of food. Gu Yun opened it and took a look, and immediately knew that it was prepared by his wife. Therefore, if you were a big fish and a big meat dish, then it would be a bit eye-catching. But in fact, Gu Yun did not want to waste his wife's food that was easy to prepare, otherwise, it would be fine even if he gave her food every day.

Coincidentally, Yang Shouli had returned from who knows where, as if he was busy with work. He did not even manage to see Gu Yun greet him, and quickly returned to his seat with his head lowered, as if he was in a hurry to become a thief and escaped. Yang Shouli dressed him in a proper official's uniform, giving him the temperament of a bandit boss. He estimated that even if he wore the dragon robe and walked around the streets, he would still be able to scare a baby to death.

Yang Shouli took out a few ku's worth of water and unknowingly washed his hands. As he grabbed the tea, he stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed half of it in one gulp, as though he was swallowing a whole bunch of dates. Just listening to the sound of the swallowing was enough to make him choke his pants and swallow two of them in one gulp.

Gu Yun could not watch any longer, and said to Yang Shouli: "Master Yang, I brought a lot today, do you want to eat together?"

Yang Shouli fiercely swallowed it down, finally swallowing down the random things in his throat, and waved his hand, "I won't be eating your bird food, I'll be hungry even if I were to feed it to a cat. I'll still be honest with this stuff, it's better to bring it along to fill my stomach, eight to ten, complete!"

Gu Yun laughed, and continued to leisurely taste the cat food prepared by his wife. As expected, Yang Shouli swallowed eight ku in one go, clapped his hands, and left in a hurry. After finishing his meal, Gu Yun sat for a while, then walked towards the rooms at the back of the treasury.

It was connected to the armory, occupying more than twenty rooms. Since there was someone who would take care of it normally, when Yang Shouli had nothing better to do, he made a special room for himself to study his trash.

Although was a nobody, he did not let anyone else into his house. Although Gu Yun had not been in his room for a few days, he was still allowed to enter with great dignity, he was extremely tactful, and it would be easy for him to grab hold of someone's temper easily. Others might think that Yang Shouli was strange and unapproachable, but they would feel that it was difficult to get close to him.

The only window in the house was covered by a cloth, so he could barely see in the day, but it was a bit eerie when he first came in. People like Gu Yun who couldn't stand the cold started to feel uneasy, he intentionally wore a cape and quietly knocked on the door, waiting for Yang Shouli's reply after a while.

"It's me, Gu Yun."

Yang Shouli put down the thing in his hand, unhappily came over to open the door, and upon seeing Gu Yun's face, he gulped down a mouthful of complaints, mixed with his stomach full of cold water. He burped, then anxiously scratched his head: "Hurry, quickly close the door, don't get caught in the wind."

Yang Shouli was a careless man who spent his days here fiddling with firearms. Gu Yun looked at his blueprints, from developing the proportions of various kinds of gunpowder to the designs of some fireballs. The degree of detail surprised Gu Yun, it was hard to imagine such a strange old man could do something like this.

Gu Yun had seen some of the firearms that were passed down from overseas before, and it was definitely a hundred times more sophisticated than the Great Chen. However, Great Chen did not focus on martial arts, so the development in this area was practically non-existent, the most important uses of the firearms in the Great Chen were probably cannon celebrations and hunting, while some of the fireballs that were offered at the northern border were not practical, and were probably still lying in the palace as decorations.

If Yang Shouli this guy could really come up with something, it would be a good thing. However, if he wanted to develop and apply it, it seemed that he still had a long way to go, and this did not hinder Gu Yun's interest in him.

Gu Yun knew the rules when he entered, he didn't ask, but only folded his arms and watched from the side. Yang Shouli didn't know what kind of crucial point he came across, the pain of him scratching his head could just explode on the spot, the smell of sulfur saltpeter was extremely pungent, he really didn't know how he suffered from being cooped up here all day.

"I feel that the diameter of the Fire Rod can be expanded a little bit more, the length of the rod is a little bit shorter, and the medicine room part is a little bit larger."

Gu Yun picked up the drawing that he had randomly thrown on the ground, and guessed that it was a plan he had rejected, he felt that Yang Shouli had some talent, the structure of the fire rod that he had drawn was close to what he had seen, but it was possible that he was still trying to figure it out in terms of size. Of course, with the power of the gunpowder, it could be said that every step was extremely important, it was already very rare for him to be able to create such a thing like this.

Yang Shouli was suddenly cut off by him, and was about to get angry, but when he saw the map that he had abandoned, he was stunned, as though he was considering a solution. He anxiously grabbed the blueprint in Gu Yun's hands, and buried his head again to revise.

"You make some sense. I'll tell you later!"

Gu Yun covered his nose and laughed, he felt that Yang Shouli was a strange and interesting person, to be able to be allowed to do as he pleased in this room, it meant that had already accepted him as a friend, so Gu Yun did not stand on ceremony with him, and continued to tour the place.

Gu Yun tried his best not to disturb him, and only randomly picked up a few models of the Fire Rod to look at the faint light. Suddenly, a piece of extremely quick shadow slid across the model, and Gu Yun's pupils shrank, as he calmly glanced towards the window with the cloth hanging on it.

Yang Shouli was still immersed in his research, so he walked out without thinking. Before he left, he even closed the door for, and his eyes swept across the figure that was hiding extremely quickly, and the corner of his mouth curled into a meaningful smile.

Inside, Xie Jingxi received Shen Huanzhi's gift box. Inside, there were a few pieces of cloth as well as some flowers, on top, there was a letter, probably because of her help, the capital's ingenious spinning was very interested in his embroidery cloth, hence they signed a big order. The order was still in the name of the Spirit Embroidery Spinning, and when the name was known, the matter of the Spirit Embroidery Spinning opening a branch family in the capital would naturally come to light.

Not to mention other things, when she was at the Xie Family, she still had a few pieces of clothes that came from there. All the ladies and mistresses in the capital loved to make clothes in his house, but now that her name was growing, if she wanted to make clothes, she would have to wait a long time. If Shen Huanzhi could make some clothes, it would be really good for her.

"Finally, the girl did not work in vain. Wow, this flower looks really good."

Ming Yu was unwilling to let go of the beautiful clothes that Shen Huanzhi had gifted her, and with a glance, Xie Jingxi knew that she had just brought a new appearance. If not for the fact that it was inconvenient to make clothes for her, she would have had to send a few already prepared ones. Shen Huanzhi had some skills, and things that he had decided on could not be changed easily. He said that she wanted to supply her with a lifetime worth of head clothes, and he really did change the way he gave it to him.

"Pick a few that you like and bring them over to me. I'll give a few to Bai Cao later."

"In that case, I will not be polite. Hee hee …"

Xie Jingxi glanced at her with a smile, "You make it sound as if you have never been polite before."

Gu Yun came back early today, and upon entering the house, he saw Ming Yu's thief like expression. Those who didn't know what was going on would think that she was poking around with the jewelry box, "Oh, what are you doing behind my back?"

"Aunt, Young Master!"

Ming Yu scurried to the side as if she was hit by a cannon fodder. She hid the flowers in her hands behind her back, and those who did not know what shameful things she had done. Xie Jingxi glanced at her snappily, she stood up and helped Gu Yun change his clothes, "Good morning."

"There's nothing much to do anyway. We probably won't be able to leave after a while."

Ming Yu used the hot water to soak his hands before coming over and pulling Xie Jingxi along to sit down. With his hands behind her back, Ming Yu rubbed towards the door, "Young Master, we ladies have been really busy today, and have not been idle all day. Please quickly accompany her for a chat, she has been talking about you for half a day."

Xie Jingxi, "..."

Ming Yu had already developed the skill to work with Gu Yun on her own, and the ability to distort the truth was improving, as she had mastered the skill part of the skill which was absolutely required to resist Gu Yun's gaze. That was, betraying her young mistress, even going to the extent of selling her skills, but no matter how much she sold it, he would always bet on their young master's laugh.

Ming Yu shamelessly sold Xie Jingxi and successfully escaped. After closing the door, she panted for breath, then ran off with the spoils of her battle in her hands, leaving the two people in the room staring at each other.

Xie Jingxi laughed and picked up the clothes on the table: "It was Shen Huanzhi who gifted it to me. A few days ago, I helped him beat him up and he specially sent it to me to bribe me.

Gu Yun said in his heart that he was quite eye-catching, he did not even know how many wolf eyes he had attracted. He narrowed his eyes and took out a palace flower from the pile of clothes, gesturing towards Xie Jingxi's head: "This flower is quite suitable for you, it really knows how to gift things."

Xie Jingxi had mentioned Shen Huanzhi to him before, so she did not hide anything and even mentioned the matter of the Old Madem wanting to get them together. In any case, Xie Jingxi did not feel anything was wrong, they would definitely meet each other in the future.

Xie Jingxi looked at the mirror with his hand, "That's not bad, I didn't bully him when I was young for nothing, and the things that he likes to give are naturally things that she would choose from, but these kinds of flowers are usually used at home to play, and cannot be used."

With that, he saw Gu Yun looking at her in the mirror with a fake smile.
