Chapter 62.1: 契约
[Contract]
After making up his mind, Chen Xing then calculated the recent benefit, after deducting the cost there is still a lot of profit, he took part of the money, nimbly customized a lot of ceramic jars and brewing utensils.
Just after these things were ready, Chen Xing began to worry about another matter.
Gu Lang was sitting behind the desk, reading his book, looking at Chen Xing holding his head with a worried look, he gently put down the book in his hand and said in a warm voice: “But what’s the matter?”
“Ah?” Chen Xing was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn’t come back to his senses when Gu Lang asked him, and looked at him with a confused look on his chin.
Therefore, she didn’t come back to her senses when Gu Lang asked her, and looked at him with a confused look on her chin.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s confused appearance, and found it a bit cute, so he patiently repeated the question. He had just asked, “I see that you’ve been worried for half a day, but have you encountered any difficulties?”
Hearing Gu Lang’s question, Chen Xing scratched his head in embarrassment, wondering if he was being too obvious, but still honestly voiced his concerns, “I want to brew more fruit wine, but there are only two of us, Qiu Jiu and I, so I’m afraid that I won’t be able to keep up with it. However, if I find someone, I’m worried about…”
Even if Chen Xing did not say any further, Gu Lang understood what Chen Xing’s unfinished intention was, he was worried that if he found someone to do it, it would leak out his recipe.
Gu Lang looked at the embarrassed Chen Xing, but did not think that Chen Xing, who usually was not mindful of everything, would be able to think about this.In his heart, he was inexplicably relieved.
Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing who was still annoyed, his thin lips slightly opened and suggested: “If you are worried about this matter, why don’t you hire the two brothers Qiu Shi and Qiu Wu? Give them a generous reward and sign a contract with them. If they betray your agreement in the future, you will be able to punish them with the constraints of the contract.”
Hearing Gu Lang say it like this, Chen Xing still had a few doubts, and after hesitating for a while, he still asked, “If they refuse to admit that they leaked my prescription. How can I punish them?”
Gu Lang’s gaze shifted away from Chen Xing’s face, looking out the window at the clouds that drifted leisurely, he hooked his lips. His originally gentle face inexplicably took on a few chills.
“According to the laws of this dynasty, any deed, no matter what it is, is filed with the government. House deeds or land deeds, employment deeds as well, are all protected by this dynasty’s laws and decrees. Anyone who dares to counterfeit, disobey, or act in violation of the law will be severely sanctioned by the law.”
Hearing Gu Lang say it like this, Chen Xing grew his mouth wide and dumbfoundedly said, “Are the laws here that advanced?”
Gu Lang’s brows frowned unnoticeably when he heard Chen Xing say this, turning his head to look at Chen Xing, who was sitting there somewhat sheepishly, with a few more moments of enquiry in his eyes, a confusion over the unfamiliar vocabulary that had suddenly popped out of his mouth.
Looking at Gu Lang’s expression as he stared at himself up and down in scrutiny, Chen Xing couldn’t help but swallow and asked cautiously, “What’s wrong?”
Could it be that he had accidentally said the wrong thing just now, so he was suspected by Gu Lang?
Chen Xing had never doubted Gu Lang’s sensitivity, after all, in daily life but whenever he was a little uncomfortable, Gu Lang was the first person to notice. It was just that when this keenness was now used to suspect him, it would also make him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Gu Lang only looked at him slightly for a moment before removing his gaze.
“Nothing, it’s just that I suddenly feel like I haven’t heard those words you said before.” Gu Lang lowered his head. His slender eyelashes covering all the emotions in his eyes.
Hearing Gu Lang ask this, Chen Xing snorted and said in a confusing manner, “I originally didn’t know who I had heard say this before, so I accidentally wrote it down.”
“I see, so it is, I was wondering if it was your hometown language, that’s why I hadn’t heard it before.” Gu Lang lifted his head back up, looking at Chen Xing with eyes that had already regained its usual gentleness, and continued to talk about what he had just said.
“Although that contract is useful, not everyone can sign it, if you want to sign it, you must have Qiu Shi and Qiu Wu agree to go with you to Yamen to make a trip, and together they will be witnesses in front of the officials.”
