At this moment, a familiar voice came from above.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, one thousand taels of gold will not be missing from you even a penny."
Qian Zhengqing's expression changed drastically, followed by excitement. He raised his head and looked at the top of the carriage. The next moment, a figure came in from the side of the carriage.
"Sir Qian, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"
Seeing Zhou Chen, Qian Zhengqing's anxious heart finally dropped, and he said with a straight face: "According to the agreement, you are late."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "You can't blame me. I didn't expect Lord Qian to be so efficient. Didn't I go raise money? Don't worry, one thousand taels of gold will be delivered to your house at night."
Qian Zhengqing suddenly couldn't control his joy: "I am also a person who keeps my promise. Gu Qingqing has been redeemed, and I have converted her humble status into a good one. Now she is a good family member in Dongyang County.
woman."
Zhou Chen's face straightened, and he bowed his hands solemnly to Qian Zhengqing.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian."
Although Qian Zhengqing was paid to do things, Zhou Chen still recognized him for being able to handle things so well.
At least it's much better than those officials who take money but don't do anything and still want to deceive people.
And according to his investigation, although Qian Zhengqing is corrupt, he is not the kind of evil official in the fish and meat village. This is one of the reasons why he approached Qian Zhengqing.
Qian Zhengqing stroked his beard and said: "The place we are going to now is Gu Qingqing's residence. As long as I see Huang Jin, you can pick her up at any time without any trouble."
Zhou Chen thanked him here, and then the two of them sat quietly in the carriage.
After a while, Qian Zhengqing suddenly asked curiously: "Young hero, I would like to ask, how did you earn these one thousand taels of gold? Is there any good way to make money? I have some spare money.
, I wonder if you can take me with you?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Lord Qian was actually very interesting, he actually came up with this idea.
"Master Qian is joking, my way of making money is not suitable for Master Qian, because my way of making money is not very straight. Master Qian is an official of the imperial court, so there is really no need to take risks to make this money."
As soon as Qian Zhengqing heard that his background was shady, he lost interest. He wanted to make some stable money but did not want to take risks.
Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination.
"Miss Gu lives there, and I have arranged two maids for her."
"Thank you, Mr. Qian, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Zhou Chen followed Qian Zhengqing into the side courtyard, and then saw Gu Qingqing leading two maids to greet him.
"Master Qian."
Zhou Chen looked at Gu Qingqing. Apart from the time he just traveled through time, he also met Gu Qingqing twice later, but those were more than a year ago.
At that time, Gu Qingqing was young, beautiful, lively and elegant, and she was a pampered innocent girl.
But at this time, Gu Qingqing was dignified and generous, with a cold face, giving people a feeling of being thousands of miles away from others. He no longer had the kindness, purity, innocence and liveliness of the past.
Qian Zhengqing nodded and said: "Miss Gu, haven't you always wanted to know who asked me to save you? I brought him here today. It is this young hero who asked me to save you. He is the one who asked me to save you."
Your savior."
Gu Qingqing was shocked and turned to look at Zhou Chen who was standing next to Qian Zhengqing. She looked at it carefully for a while. She was very sure that she did not recognize this tall and handsome young man, but it did not hinder her.
She expresses gratitude.
"Qingqing thanks my benefactor for saving me."
As he said that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen flashed and appeared in front of Gu Qingqing, holding her arm.
"Miss Gu, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
When Zhou Chen grabbed her arm, Gu Qingqing's body trembled, but thinking that Zhou Chen had saved her, she resisted and did not move.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen released his hand in time.
Qian Zhengqing said at this time: "Young hero, the matter you entrusted to me has been completed. I hope you will not break your promise."
Zhou Chen replied: "Don't worry, Sir, Sir Qian will receive it tonight."
"In that case, I will leave first."
Qian Zhengqing left the courtyard without staying any longer.
As soon as Qian Zhengqing left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a little strange. Gu Qingqing waved the two maids to go down, leaving only her and Zhou Chen.
She saluted Zhou Chen and said, "Qing Qing can't repay the kindness of the young master for saving his life. If the young master needs anything, just give him an order and Qing Qing will do anything he can."
After staying in Jiaofangsi for several months, she had already recognized the reality. She felt that Zhou Chen must have something to ask for if he could ask the county governor to redeem her.
But what does she have now that is worthy of others' desire? Only this innocent body, even though she is desperate in her heart, she has no choice.
When she entered the Jiaofang Division, she actually wanted to commit suicide, but before her death, her mother told her to live well and live with hope.
Although she couldn't see any hope, she still listened to her mother's words and managed to survive.
Zhou Chen rescued her and helped her change her status from a lowly status to a good status. Committing herself to Zhou Chen was a hundred times better than staying in the Jiaofang Division.
When Zhou Chen heard Gu Qingqing's words, he knew she had misunderstood.
"Miss Gu, do you still remember that three years ago in Linhai County, you rewarded a little beggar with half a tael of silver?"
Zhou Chen's words stunned Gu Qingqing, and memories emerged. Not long after their family arrived in Linhai County, she took her maid to visit the county for the first time, and saw a scarred, dirty and embarrassed little beggar with a great kindness.
She was so happy that she gave the little silver she had brought to the little beggar.
"You, how do you know?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Because I am that little beggar. That day your broken silver gave me a chance to gain a foothold, and today, I saved you from danger, so the two are even, you don't owe me anything."
Gu Qingqing blurted out: "Are you that little beggar? How is it possible, you, you..."
She was really shocked. The Zhou Chen in front of her was so heroic and graceful that she could not associate it with the little beggar back then.
"Even so, I just gave you a little bit of silver, but now you have helped me so much, it's completely different."
"In your opinion, it may not be equal, but in my opinion, it is fair, so Miss Gu, you don't have to think that you owe me anything, and you don't have to think about repaying me. You are free now and can do whatever you want.
, no need to be so formal."
Even when she sat at the same table with Zhou Chen for dinner, Gu Qingqing still hadn't fully recovered, because Zhou Chen's appearance was so dreamy that an unintentional move she made back then turned out to be the move that saved her own destiny.
