Chapter 442 Licked

Walking outside the door, Gu Jiujiu touched his face with his hands.

It was hot, and still very hot.

Didn't he just lick his finger?

Why is she running?
Gu Jiujiu felt that he was really getting worse and worse.

Looking at the porcelain bowl she was holding in her hand, it had already come out of the room, Gu Jiujiu decided that she should take it to the stove first.

Not long after Gu Jiujiu went out, Shen Kuo finished the account book in his hand.

Tomorrow there will be something in the yamen, the county magistrate said that he will probably be busy until very late.

Shen Kuo promised to send these ledgers on the table to the shopkeeper of the inn tomorrow, and he always kept his word.So, seeing Gu Jiujiu put away the porcelain bowl and came back, he looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiao Jiu, come here, I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Gu Jiujiu said subconsciously while walking towards Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo pointed to the ledgers on the table and told Gu Jiujiu, "I've already made all these ledgers, Xiao Jiu, after breakfast tomorrow, can you help me send these ledgers to the inn in the market?"

Gu Jiujiu looked at Shen Kuo, then looked at the stack of ledgers on the table, and helped him deliver the ledgers. Gu Jiujiu felt that there was no problem with this, but she didn't know which inns these ledgers belonged to. How will she deliver it?
Thinking of this, Gu Jiujiu looked at Shen Kuo and said, "Sir, it's fine if you want me to deliver the account books, but you must first tell me which inn these account books belong to. Otherwise, I won't know if I go to the market tomorrow." Where to send it?"

"These ledgers belong to an inn." As he spoke, Shen Kuo looked at Gu Jiujiu and smiled, "Besides, you know the shopkeeper of this inn. When the time comes, you can just send them directly."

"I know?" Gu Jiujiu searched the memories in her head, and the shopkeepers in the market seemed to be only shopkeeper Yu who sold dry goods, and shopkeeper Qian who sold pig's trotters.

"That's right." Shen Kuo hugged Gu Jiujiu into his arms, let her sit on his lap, and told her, "Not only you know this shopkeeper, but your cousin also knows him."

The only shopkeeper that she and Cousin Yan knew was the shopkeeper of the inn where Cousin Yan was the clerk.

"So that shopkeeper is Shopkeeper Han?" Gu Jiujiu asked tentatively.

"Yeah." Shen Kuo looked at Gu Jiujiu and nodded, "That's him."

Knowing that it is Shopkeeper Han, this is easy to handle, so Gu Jiujiu patted his chest and promised: "You can give me these books without worry, I will definitely send them to Shopkeeper Han for you tomorrow."

Gu Jiujiu had sold jerky at the shopkeeper Han, and every month she would go to the shopkeeper Han to get a share of the jerky. Shen Kuo was not worried at all when she sent these ledgers. When it’s ready to be delivered, the shopkeeper will ask the accountant to give me the money, and when Gu Jiujiu is going to deliver the ledger tomorrow, Shen Kuo smiles and says to her, “Xiao Jiu, the shopkeeper needs to give me sixty ingots in total for this pile of ledgers.” Broken silver, he will give you money tomorrow, you just keep it."

"I see." Gu Jiujiu said with a smile.

It was getting late, and after talking about delivering the ledger, Shen Kuo blew out the oil lamp on the table and went to bed with Gu Jiujiu.

A good night's sleep.

In the morning, when Gu Jiujiu woke up, Shen Kuo had already gone to the yamen.

Last night, Shen Kuo told himself that there are many errands in the yamen today, and he needs to go an hour earlier than usual.Seeing that Shen Kuo was not there, Gu Jiujiu was not surprised.
