Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 496 The tip of the needle versus the awn of wheat

"Officials with minor positions of power were exiled to bitter and cold places."

"All the wives of officials were demoted to official prostitutes."

"After this matter is settled, I have avenged my father and the civilians who died."

"It's over now. I wanted to rush back to find you right away. But the emperor thought of my contribution in eradicating corrupt officials, so he gave me an official position and rewarded me."

"I know very well that this is a rare opportunity. If my father were still alive, he would definitely hope that I would not miss it."

"At that time, I had no choice but to stay in the capital, thinking that I could only find another opportunity to come back and look for you."

An Yue listened to Gu Mingchuan's story quietly, feeling deeply moved.

"Yes! This opportunity is indeed rare."

"Your father was a good official. You cleared his name and punished those corrupt officials one by one. Now you can be considered to have avenged your father."

"Well, of course you are also a good person. You have saved countless families and the entire Yongchuan County."

After hearing what An Yue said, Gu Mingchuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

An Yue spoke again and asked, "Then...when are you going to leave this time?"

Gu Mingchuan didn't say anything. He walked forward and blocked An Yue's way.

He put his hands on An Yue's shoulders and asked seriously, "Yueyue, are you willing to come with me?"

When asked this by Gu Mingchuan, An Yue was a little at a loss for a moment.

"I……"

He quickly interrupted and said, "No need to answer now."

After Gu Mingchuan asked, he immediately regretted it.

He was afraid that An Yue's answer would go against his inner thoughts.

An Yue looked up at Gu Mingchuan, and that nervous and frightened expression appeared on his face again.

An Yue looked at Gu Mingchuan in front of her, and she whispered to herself: [If this were in the 21st century, I would stand on tiptoe and take a sip of him no matter what.]

Thinking of this, An Yue's face turned red again.

She quickly avoided Gu Mingchuan and fled the scene.

Gu Mingchuan also hurriedly caught up and asked with a sly smile: "Did you think of something else?"

An Yue just kept walking forward with her head down.

Gu Mingchuan approached An Yue and said as they walked: "You have hit me, scolded me, and cried to me recently. Isn't it time to smile?"

An Yue lowered her head and said, "I...I don't like to laugh."

But the corners of her mouth were raised honestly.

Gu Mingchuan tilted his head as he walked, looking at An Yue's face, and said with a smile: "I found out that you are smiling."

An Yue quickened her pace and said stubbornly, "I didn't."

"You just smiled."

"No, no, that's not the case!"

The two of them walked forward while joking and bickering.

The dimples at the corners of An Yue's mouth appeared and disappeared from time to time, and she felt that the air was sweet at this moment.

At this moment, a shout came from not far away: "Sister! Sister!"

An Nian and Lin Hao were anxiously looking for An Yue.

When An Yue heard the shouting, she quickly ran towards the direction where the sound came from.

An Nian and Lin Hao finally found An Yue.

An Nian saw a man following his sister from afar.

He walked closer and took a look, and was stunned.

She shouted in surprise: "Brother Mingchuan?"

Gu Mingchuan walked forward, rubbed An Nian's head, and asked with a smile: "Little Nian Nian has grown so tall?"

"Brother Mingchuan, where have you been these years? I almost forgot about you."

An Nian's words made Gu Mingchuan feel a little guilty.

He looked at An Nian and said seriously, "I went to a very far place and did something very important."

"Is the matter finished?"

"It's done."

An Nian naturally understood what Gu Mingchuan said, and asked, "Brother Mingchuan, are you an official now?"

Gu Mingchuan smiled and waved his hands, saying modestly: "No, no, no, I'm just an official as small as a sesame seed."

An Nian said bluntly: "Then Brother Mingchuan must work hard. Now that I have passed the examination, I will surpass you in the future!"

An Yue stood aside, listening to their happy conversation, and couldn't help but smile along.

Suddenly thinking of Lin Hao beside her, she quickly said, "Let me introduce him!"

She raised her hand and gestured, "This is Master Gu Mingchuan, and this is Master Lin Haolin."

Lin Hao, who was standing at the side, bowed to Gu Mingchuan and said, "I have occasionally heard Nian Nian mention Brother Gu before. It is an honor to meet you today."

Gu Mingchuan also returned the greeting and said, "Brother Lin, you are too polite."

An Yue looked at the three of them, her heart filled with warmth.

She said softly, "Since we are all together, I will treat you all to a hot pot meal. What do you think?"

Everyone nodded.

An Nian walked in front and led the way, and they walked towards their own hot pot shop.

Along the way, An Nian excitedly asked Gu Mingchuan questions, and Gu Mingchuan patiently answered them one by one.

Lin Hao and An Yue walked behind, occasionally chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Four people came to the hot pot shop.

An Yue asked the waiter to prepare a quiet private room.

After a while, the steaming hot pot was served and all kinds of ingredients filled the table.

An Nian saw that Gu Mingchuan was in a good mood. While putting meat and vegetables into the pot, he continued to ask Gu Mingchuan about the interesting things that happened in the capital.

"In the capital..."

Gu Mingchuan smiled as he recounted the prosperity and majesty of the capital, as well as what he had seen and heard in the past few years.

Lin Hao didn't say anything, just sat aside and listened quietly.

An Yue looked at Gu Mingchuan, An Nian and Lin Hao in front of her, and it seemed that the past five years had just happened a while ago.

But now, everyone's appearance and experience have undergone a complete transformation.

An Nian is much taller than An Yue, and now he looks like an adult.

He raised his hand and said, "Brother Mingchuan, Brother Linhao, come and taste the hot pot."

Gu Mingchuan glanced at An Yue, smiled, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of cooked meat, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.

After chewing and swallowing, he quickly praised: "Well, this hot pot tastes really good."

An Nian looked at his sister An Yue with a proud look on his face and said, "Of course, this is my sister's unique secret recipe."

Seeing that Lin Hao had not started eating for a long time, An Yue remained silent.

So, she picked up a piece of meat and put it in Lin Hao's bowl, saying, "Brother Lin Hao, try it too."

Lin Hao smiled at An Yue and said politely, "Thank you, sister An Yue. I can do it myself."

When Gu Mingchuan saw An Yue picking up some food for Lin Hao, he got so angry that he quickly picked up the teacup beside him and drank it.

I drank too quickly and choked and started coughing.

After a while, his face turned red from coughing.

At this moment, An Nian suddenly asked: "Brother Mingchuan, will you leave next?"

After listening to An, Gu Mingchuan was slightly stunned and glanced at An Yue.

Then he gently replied: "If possible, I hope I will never leave again."
