Chapter 62 Return (I)
After a long pause, the man picked up the contract on the ground and sat back on the couch, "She is really..."
The man in black asked worriedly, "Young Master, do you want to find out who it is?"
"No need, let's finish our business first. Has the order from the capital come down?"
"We can reach Nanjing within ten days."
"Um."
Seeing that the young master had no intention of continuing the conversation, the man in black wanted to leave, but he was a little worried, "This fake..."
"I know who she is." The man on the couch poured another glass of wine, picked it up, thought about it, and put it down again. He looked at the signature on the contract with a half-smile, "Let Qin Huai handle this matter. He should be very interested."
The man in black bowed and said, "I will send someone to inform Master Qin right away."
The man on the couch nodded slightly, then lay on his back, put his hands over his eyes, and seemed tired. The man in black carefully left, and before closing the door, he heard the young master say, "Don't let the people from the gambling house cause trouble."

Su Luo was very upset these days. Zhou Chongwen kept asking who the person with the surname Bi was. Su Luo said it was her courtesy name. Zhou Si had a good memory and asked her if her courtesy name was Lei Feng. Su Luo didn't say anything. She scratched her chin and said it was her pseudonym. Anyway, she couldn't tell the difference between a courtesy name and a pseudonym. Zhou Si was silent for a long time before saying, "Are you lying?"
Su Luo didn't say anything, and Zhou Si said again that it was not good to lie to others.
Of course, it is not good to lie to others. If anyone dares to lie to Su Luo, Su Luo will beat him up. But this time... it is difficult to get off the tiger. She specially asked Zhou Si about the meaning of this idiom. After getting the answer, she looked at Zhou Si innocently and said that she was in the same situation at that time. Moreover, the other party was a loan shark, and he was a loan shark who intended to bribe the court officials!
Zhou Si was speechless. He was still concerned about Su Luo, but the silence was obviously longer, which made Su Luo feel a little depressed. She didn't want to do it. She was still feeling anxious. It's not easy to be a fraudster. While persuading Zhou Si, she was also persuading herself. She also warned Yun Lang and the others not to go out these days. She changed into women's clothes and ran to the city gate when she had nothing to do. There was an empty wall there, where wanted notices were posted. She went to see if there was a portrait of herself.
After ten days of absence, she went to the mansion again, but there was no movement. Su Luo felt a little relieved. Did this mean that she was safe? Could she move in? If someone came to ask about it in the future, she could just take out the contract and claim that she bought the house from Lao Bi for seven thousand taels, and she would be able to clear herself of everything? Su Luo hoped that it was that simple.
After waiting for another two days, there was still no movement. Su Luo was completely relieved. One morning checked out of the inn and moved into her mansion in a very low-key manner.
It was already early December. If it weren't for this house, Su Luo would have returned to Zhuxian Town long ago. So the day after moving into the mansion, Su Luo put going home on his schedule.
The most anxious person was Old Li, who hadn't met the big boss Qin Huai yet. Su Luo patted her chest and assured him that she had left a letter at Qin's company. She believed that as long as Qin Huai came back and saw the letter, he would rush all the way to Zhuxian Town to find her just for the words "Compendium of Materia Medica". She told Old Li to go to Taicang to find Wang Shizhen to write the preface for the book, and the printing of the book would be completed within half a year at the latest.
Old Li saw with his own eyes how Su Luo managed to get the mansion without any effort. He had full confidence in Su Luo's ability and set off for Taicang that night. Wu Yong asked for leave to see his teacher off. Su Luo felt that Nanjing couldn't leave Wu Yong alone, so he thought about keeping Dazhong as well, so that he could help get some raw materials and pay for water and electricity bills, and also take the opportunity to learn some skills. Dazhong was willing, but he couldn't bear to leave his brother. Su Luo's words reassured him: Why rush, we will come sooner or later.
So the public went out to drink farewell with the Yunlang Hummer without any worries. Zhou Chongwen asked Su Luo, "Do you want to develop in Nanjing?" Su Luo nodded. This idea has been in his mind for a long time. Who doesn't want to go to a big place? Now that he has a ready-made house, it doesn't seem to be too difficult to move the whole family to the south.
"What about the cashbox?"
"Let's go back and take a look at the business situation first. Maybe we can consider opening a branch in Nanjing." Su Luo shrugged, "But before that, I hope Qiangui is not split up and sold by Lao Bao."
Zhou Chongwen seemed to have great confidence in Bao Zixing and was quite disapproving of Su Luo's idea.
The next morning, Su Luo gave Dazhong 200 taels of silver as the preliminary research fund for Wu Yong. Dazhong was deeply moved by the boss's wife's trust. He swore to spend the money wisely. Su Luo patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Do a good job!"
Since there were only two people temporarily settled in the mansion, everyone only cleaned up the courtyard at the entrance. The courtyard at the back was left to spend the winter quietly. When Su Luo came back, they would decide what to do.
Finally, Su Luo pulled everyone over and gave them special instructions: if anyone came to cause trouble for this house in the future, they should never confront them head-on, but run away first. If they were caught by the government, they should be sure to ask someone to send a message to Zhuxian Town so that she could rush back to rescue them.
The public didn't even change their expression. After all, he had been to jail before and was not afraid of going to jail again.
After arranging everything, Su Luo prepared to return. There were eight people when they came, but when they left, there would only be her, Yun Lang, Hanma, Zhou Chongwen and... Gan Lin.
Su Luo was not ungrateful to Gan Lin for rescuing them from prison, but it had been so long, and this girl hadn't said she wanted to go home. Was she going back to Zhuxian Town with them now? After hesitating several times, Su Luo finally handed this difficult task to Zhou Chongwen. Zhou Chongwen was embarrassed, as if he was going to chase him away. Fortunately, Gan Lin took the initiative to speak, saying that he had been away from home for too long and it was time to go back.
Everyone was happy. Su Luo quickly said that they would pass by Fengyang on the way back and they could give you a ride.
In this way, a group of five people drove a horse-drawn carriage towards the Nanjing city gate. After living in Nanjing for a month, Su Luo was really reluctant to leave. When she was about to reach the city gate, she stood in the driver's seat and looked back, constantly making up her mind that she would definitely come back.
Just as he was making up his mind, a figure seemed to flash by his side. Turning back, Yun Lang was no longer in his driver's seat. He went to the place where the notice was posted at the city gate to watch the fun. Su Luo rolled his eyes and asked the Hummer to stop the car, and he also went over happily.
There were many people gathered in front of the notice, and Yunlang squeezed to the front with a swipe of his hands. Su Luo had to burn all his little universe and step on countless shoes before he squeezed to Yunlang's side amid the people's contempt. Just when he was about to complain, he looked up and saw Yunlang's face was a little serious, and a little fascinated.
"What's wrong?" Su Luo asked while looking up. After a quick glance, he was stunned.
It was an enrollment notice, which basically said that the Ming government announced to the people of the world that it would establish a military school with the goal of training high-level generals. Enrollment was open to anyone from across the country, and all aspiring people between the ages of 20 and 40 could sign up. The sixty students who were selected after screening would receive three years of free training in the school, and could start work upon graduation with generous treatment.
