"Since September has said so, Aunt Gu will wait for September to deliver the oil to Aunt Gu."

Lin Jiuyue smiled at Mrs. Gu.

"Aunt Gu, Jiuyue will go back first."

Mrs. Gu knew that she could not keep Lin Jiuyue, so she had no choice but to nod and agree.

After saying goodbye to Madam Gu, Lin Jiuyue drove out of the city with Xiyue.

"Miss, let's hurry back now. We have to speed up, otherwise we won't be able to get back to Shangbei Village before dark."

Lin Jiuyue leaned against the carriage and spoke in a calm tone.

"If you can't go back, then you can't go back. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiyue: ...

Didn't the young lady tell Madam Gu that she was very busy at home when she was at the General's Mansion? Why is she not busy now?

"But, Miss, when you were at the Gu Mansion, you told Madam Gu..."

Before Xiyue finished speaking, Lin Jiuyue sat up straight and stuck her head out of the carriage.

"Xiyue, why are you so honest? You believe everything others say. If your young lady hadn't said this, then Madam Gu would definitely keep your young lady in the Gu family."

"A nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse. You must have heard this saying, right?"

The Gu family is good, but no matter how good it is, it is not as good as my own home.

Although my home is not as luxurious as Gu's, it is more comfortable. In my own home, I can do whatever I want without worrying about affecting others or annoying others with my bad habits.

Although Madam Gu likes me, I am still an outsider after all, right?

Xiyue nodded thoughtfully.

"Miss, should we hurry back to Shangbei Village tonight?"

If we hurry, we can still get back to Shangbei Village before dark, but the road might be a little bumpy.

Lin Jiuyue shook her head.

"That's not necessary. I heard that there's a night market in the capital, but I haven't been there yet. Today, I'm going to take you there to see if it's as lively as the legend says."

Xiyue had never been to the night market in Beijing, so when Lin Jiuyue said she wanted to take her there, she became interested. However, she was still a little worried.

"Miss, this, this is not good, right?"

Lin Jiuyue glared at Xiyue.

"What's wrong with that? Don't you want to see the night market in the capital?"

Xiyue was suddenly speechless.

I would like to go shopping, but the young lady and I are both women. Isn't it risky to go to the night market?

"Miss, we are all women. It's not a good idea to go to the night market."

Although women were not so restricted during this dynasty, it was still relatively rare for women to visit night markets, especially if they were not accompanied by a man.

Lin Jiuyue widened her eyes when she heard Xiyue’s words.

"Xiyue, how can you think like that? Although we are all women, the law doesn't say that women can't go to the night market, right?"

"All those ladies from wealthy families in the capital can go to the night market, so why can't we go?"

When Xiyue heard Lin Jiuyue’s words, she was stunned.

I was born into a wealthy family and started working when I was a few years old. I was taught from a young age that women should be reserved and stay in the main house.

No one has ever told me that women can go to night markets like men.

Suddenly, I heard my young lady say that women can go to the night market just like men. My heart couldn't help but get excited.

Although Xiyue really wanted to go to the night market, she couldn't help but feel scared.

"But, miss, it would be dangerous to go out at night, right?"

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Danger? Who is in danger? Myself?

No, that's impossible! With my strength, if I were to encounter gangsters or something, they would be the only ones in danger!

If you can't win, you can run away. If you can't run away, you can hide in space.

At worst, the fact that I have a space will be exposed to Xiyue in the future.

"Xiyue, you are so timid, how can you protect your young lady in the future?"

Lin Jiuyue frowned as she spoke. At the same time, she had already made plans for Xiyue in her mind.

When I get back this time, I must let Xiyue practice martial arts with me.

It is said that people with great skills are brave. If Xiyue knew some martial arts, she would probably not be as timid as she is now.

When Xiyue heard Lin Jiuyue's disdainful words, she suddenly became nervous.

"Miss, Xiyue, Xiyue is a little worried about you. If you really want to go to the night market, Xiyue will definitely accompany you."

After Xiyue finished speaking, as if she felt that her words were not enough to express her determination, she continued.

"Don't even mention the night market in the capital. Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, as long as you ask me, Xiyue will accompany me to go there."

Seeing Xiyue's expression of 'ready to die', Lin Jiuyue burst out laughing.

"Puchi, Xiyue, aren't we just going to the night market? Look how nervous you are. I, your mistress, thought we were not going to the night market, but to some place that is not allowed to go."

Xiyue: ...

My young lady is so brave! She dares to go to the night market alone with her maid, not afraid of encountering hooligans or anything like that.

But then again, with our young lady's skills, it would be bad luck for those hooligans to meet her.

"Miss, where are we going now?"

The night market doesn't start until the evening, so there are still about two hours before dark.

Lin Jiuyue tilted her head and thought about it.

"Well, let's find a place to stay first."

There was no need to rush about eating. Since there were night markets in the capital, there would naturally be plenty of snacks. There was no need to worry about having nothing to eat.

Xiyue was not very familiar with the capital, and she had no idea where to find the place that Lin Jiuyue mentioned. She was a little confused for a moment.

Seeing Xiyue looking like she didn't know what to do, Lin Jiuyue spoke up.

"Let's go to Yuelai Inn. It's close to the night market. We'll stay at Yuelai Inn tonight."

After receiving Lin Jiuyue's instructions, Xiyue drove the carriage to Yuelai Inn.

After arriving at the inn, Lin Jiuyue originally wanted two upper rooms, but the innkeeper said that only one upper room was available.

Considering that Xiyue was a little scared of living alone, she only asked for a room upstairs.

Arriving at the inn's room, Lin Jiuyue opened the window and looked at the street below. Then she closed the window again.

"Xiyue, there is a package in the carriage, go and get it."

When Lin Jiuyue bought the carriage, he had it modified.

Under the seat in the carriage, Lin Jiuyue had someone make a small space for storing things.

Usually, Lin Jiuyue would put some things in that small space in case of emergency.
