Chapter 166: Wedding Gift (3)

What is he roaring about? Gu Yun was confused. Isn't it justified to pay back debts? Knowing that both of them had fiery tempers, Gu Yun was too lazy to argue with him, and replied indifferently: "I put the IOU here, it doesn't matter if you tear it up if you don't like it. As for money, whether you want it or not is your business, whether I pay it back or not is my business."

Gu Yun hadn't had time to turn around when Su Ling roared again: "Stop!"

Gu Yun cursed secretly, why is this man so long-winded! Glaring coldly at Su Ling, she originally intended that if he mentioned the IOU again, she would explode, but Su Ling suddenly asked: "Did you buy the jade comb to congratulate Qing Ling and Lou Xiyan on their wedding?"

Gu Yun was stunned and nodded: "Yes."

Su Ling suddenly lowered his head, flipped through the drawings in his hand, and said lightly: "I just didn't buy a gift, and I don't know what to send them. The celebration made me busy. The jade comb will be the gift we chose, take the IOU away."

"I..." The gift we chose? Gu Yun felt it was a bit strange no matter how she listened, but she couldn't say exactly what was strange. She just opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Su Ling raised his head, stared straight at her, frowned and said: "You won't be so stingy! I'm a big man, I really don't know what to send them to congratulate them."

Friends getting married before, there were also things about buying gifts together, sending them together, it's nothing, right? Gu Yun thought for a while, and finally nodded: "That's fine, count me as one."

Su Ling sighed secretly, this woman is really hard to deal with, hard is definitely not working, he can only come soft, as long as she doesn't mention the IOU to him, soldiers don't tire of deceit.

"By the way." Gu Yun thought of the second thing she came here for, took out the light green box from her sleeve, placed it gently on Su Ling's desk, and smiled: "This is not my thing, give it back to you."

Su Ling coughed lightly, and replied coldly and uncomfortably: "It's yours."

Gu Yun raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why did you send me something for no reason?"

Pushing the box in front of Gu Yun, Su Ling replied calmly: "This time suppressing bandits, thanks to your strategy, this hairpin is a thank-you gift I sent you, can you accept it now?"

So that's it, Gu Yun smiled generously: "I accept the 'thank you', the gift is not needed, anyway, I can't use it." Such a beautiful accessory, it's a waste to send it to her, Gu Yun pushed the box back lightly.

God knows it's the first time he sent something to a woman, and she didn't want it! He must be crazy to want to send something to such a woman who doesn't know how to appreciate it! Perhaps it was anger from embarrassment, Su Ling glared at Gu Yun with cold eyes, and said fiercely: "Sending it to you is yours! If you don't like it, throw it away!"

He said so, but his face was an expression of "you dare to throw it away and try". Gu Yun laughed, is this man sending a gift? Are you sure it's not a threat? Grabbing the box on the table, seeing him so awkward, Gu Yun couldn't help teasing him: "Okay, I'll take it out and throw it away."

Sure enough, the sharp eye knife almost shot her to death! Gu Yun laughed and walked out of the study.

Looking at the lean figure outside the courtyard finally putting the box into her sleeve, Su Ling's tense lips finally lifted lightly, but unfortunately, Gu Yun suddenly turned back and said loudly to him: "By the way, I'll bring the 90-tael IOU to you later."

Su Ling's mouth froze instantly! Damn it, this woman still wants to talk to him about the IOU!

Flower Hall.

"Take it away, take it away, is it worth writing an IOU for a little silver? I don't want it."

Su Yu threw her IOU far away, as if it were something dirty. Gu Yun couldn't laugh or cry, and teased: "Are your brothers always so generous? It's a blessing that you haven't been destitute until now."

Su Yu glared at her. Is the silver of the General's Mansion so easy to spend! If the person spending money wasn't her, would he be so generous? Good intentions treated as donkey's liver and lungs!

Su Yu didn't accept it, and Gu Yun didn't pick it up, letting the IOU fall at her feet, and smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter if you accept it or not, anyway, I remember it myself." She concluded that the best way to deal with the men of the Su family is not to reason with them, but to insist on herself!

Gu Yun insisted, and Su Yu couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Why are you so awkward? If you want to use the money of the General's Mansion, just go to the account room to withdraw it. You are looking for trouble now!"

Gu Yun ignored him and asked herself: "In your Qiongyue, how can women make money?" To be honest, she really didn't know what women could do in this era.

"Why are you so stubborn, don't you understand what I said!" Su Yu also twisted, turned his head to the side, and stopped talking to her.

Lifting her lips lightly, Gu Yun deliberately sighed and replied: "If you don't say it, forget it, I'll ask Lou Xiyan another day."

"What are you asking him for?!" Su Yu was anxious. If she really asked Lou Xiyan, it would make people think that their General's Mansion couldn't even support a woman, and that wouldn't make people laugh! Knowing the personality of this woman who wouldn't stop until her goal was reached, Su Yu could only perfunctorily reply: "Women making money is nothing more than being a maid or an old mother for others to earn some monthly money, or selling some embroidery and handicrafts. These are not suitable for you."

Gu Yun's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, shaking her head and sighing: "It seems that I am really not suitable for women's work."

"That's it!" Su Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and drank a sip of tea to smooth his breath. At this time, a cool, excited whisper sounded in his ear: "I should try some work for men."

"Puff—" A sip of tea was sprayed out, Su Yu was choked to death, Gu Yun ignored him, and smiled leisurely on the side: "The bounty hunter job seems good, it looks quite profitable, and it suits me." She remembered that the woman named Ye Mei was a bounty hunter, and her ranking was not low. She could try it, but criminal investigation and solving cases were her strengths, and chasing criminals was weaker. Let's try it first!

After finally stopping the cough, Su Yu looked sad and sighed: "Suitable for a fart! Auntie, stop tossing!"

Seeing his embarrassed look, Gu Yun laughed out loud.

Laughter continued in the Flower Hall. Outside the Flower Hall, the person who was about to enter stopped, his deep eagle eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was full of helplessness. How could she not toss?! Su Ling rubbed his temples with a headache. Well, since she wants to make money so much, he has to think about what to find for her to do.

In short, absolutely can't let her be a bounty hunter!

Yitian Courtyard.

Perhaps it hadn't been lived in for a long time, or perhaps there were no tables and chairs designed in the courtyard, in the large courtyard, the grass was lush, but there was no place to sit. Under the moonlight, a woman in black sat on the ground, holding a crystal-white long sword in her hand, with a pile of... ice at her feet?

"Ice Refining, give me peace. Don't release cold air anymore! This is already the third towel frozen! If you do this again, I won't wipe you in the future!" Holding the last wet and soft cloth in her hand, Gu Yun fiercely threatened, although the object was a sword.

Under the moonlight, the crystal-white long sword flashed slightly, restraining its own cold air incomparably aggrievedly. Gu Yun picked up the wet cloth and tried to wipe it. The water on the wet cloth was still frozen into thin ice, but fortunately, it was not frozen into ice cubes directly. Gu Yun was satisfied and wiped the sword body gently with the wet cloth.

The cold and proud man standing at the door looked at this scene, and couldn't help laughing. She actually told Ice Refining not to release cold air. It was forged from millennial cold jade and heavenly silkworm snow silk. How could there be no cold air! Besides, for so many years, he hadn't heard of anyone giving Ice Refining a bath!

Su Ling walked into the courtyard slowly, the moonlight pulling his tall figure very long. Gu Yun looked up at him, saw a clear smile in his eyes, and didn't care, smiling naturally: "Sit."

Su Ling scanned the surroundings, and there was no place for him to sit except on the ground. He didn't say anything, and Su Ling sat down on the grass as gracefully as she did.

Gu Yun put the wiped Ice Refining into the scabbard and said to Su Ling: "Wait a moment." After saying this, she got up and entered the room. Before long, she returned to Su Ling with a piece of paper in her hand: "Give."

Glancing at the content on the paper, it was an IOU as expected. Su Ling didn't refuse this time, put the paper strip into his sleeve, and said seriously: "I came to discuss something with you."

Su Ling accepted the IOU so readily, Gu Yun was still a bit unaccustomed, heard the seriousness in his tone, and Gu Yun asked curiously: "What's the matter?"

"The Su family army has always been brave on the battlefield of the two armies, but this time suppressing bandits made me realize that the training of the Su family army might be a bit single, and the form of combat is also limited, so I hope to increase their training items, in order to exert the greatest attack power of the soldiers when facing different environments and different enemies." Su Ling thought for a long time, if he just found some irrelevant things for her to do, she definitely wouldn't pay attention. When suppressing bandits, he had already seen that Qing Mo was very interested in military affairs and had some ability, so if he let her supervise the training, she should agree.

Gu Yun naturally didn't know that Su Ling just wanted to find something for her to do, so he discussed military affairs with her, and very seriously gave him suggestions: "Actually, you have led the Su family army for a long time and have fought countless battles, and the two-army confrontation is still the main mode of fighting. Tens of thousands of Su family troops, if every soldier has to do special training, it will consume a lot of military supplies. You can pick 30,000 elite soldiers, increase their training items, and let them be able to deal with various environments and enemies calmly. They can fight with the army, or they can independently perform various surprise attacks and encirclement tasks."

Gu Yun finished speaking and paused, seemingly a bit hesitant. Su Ling saw her wanting to speak but stopping, and took the initiative to ask: "Continue."
