Gu Nanxi's return almost caused a riot. Fortunately, Wang Buxi and Gu Hai brought troops to maintain order in time.
Even so, Gu Nanxi couldn't move forward.
She was holding Xiaohua, who was as fat as a pig, in her arms, sitting on a tricycle, with crowds of people on both sides.
Wang Buxi and Gu Haihu stood on both sides of the tricycle, fearing that their masters would be hit by the people.
Fu Mingyuan insisted on being the rickshaw driver and driving the tricycle himself to take the adults home.
Su Yunyan was also sitting in the tricycle, sitting close to Gu Nanxi, wishing she could replace Xiaohua's position and be hugged by her mother.
Because the people were so enthusiastic, the speed of the tricycle was slower than walking, and every turn of the wheel caused cheers from the crowd.
Gu Nanxi waved to both sides and saw many familiar faces in the crowd.
"Aunt Geng, you are here too?"
When Aunt Geng was called, she was so excited that she trembled all over. She used her strong body to push aside the two people who were blocking her way and said, "Make way, I'm Aunt Geng, the master is calling me!"
The two men in front moved aside and looked at Aunt Geng with envy.
When Aunt Geng saw Gu Nanxi, tears fell like pearls from a broken string: "My Lord, you have lost weight, you have worked so hard!"
Gu Nanxi smiled back at Aunt Geng and waved her hand.
Aunt Geng looked at Gu Nanxi's back greedily, feeling swollen and sour in her heart. The master has finally returned.
"Mom, the adults are back. Did Dad come back with him?" Geng Dalang asked softly.
Aunt Geng's expression froze. Oh no, she was so concerned about the adults that she forgot to ask about the old man.
Aunt Geng glared at her son and said, "Didn't you notice whether your father came back or not?"
Geng Dalang touched the back of his head and said honestly, "Look, my father is in the guard team behind, waving at you, but you ignored him!"
Aunt Geng touched her nose guiltily and decided to go home and prepare a meal, then go to the tavern to buy a jar of good wine and make an exception to let the old man have a drink.
The cheers continued all the way.
Shopkeeper Xia in the crowd lifted Xia Lezhi up and sat him on his shoulders, anxiously asking, "Have you seen the master? Where is the master?"
Xia Lezhi's eyes were very good, and he said excitedly: "It's almost there! It's almost there!"
Shopkeeper Xia's vision was blocked by the person in front of him, and he was extremely anxious, fearing that he would miss the scene of the master's return.
It turns out that you can tell whether an adult has arrived by listening to the cheers around you without having to look.
The people around Shopkeeper Xia suddenly raised their voices and shouted, "Welcome home, sir!"
Shopkeeper Xia realized that the master had arrived, and his eyes instantly became moist.
Xia Lezhi waved his hands wildly and jumped for joy; his cheers died down only when he could no longer see Duke Yun.
Shopkeeper Xia then felt the pain in his shoulder and grimaced, "Son, get down quickly! My neck is going to break!"
Mrs. Xia quickly helped Xia Lezhi down. Looking at the painful expression of Shopkeeper Xia, she felt both angry and amused. She reached out her hand to massage Shopkeeper Xia's neck.
"Thank you, Madam. You are indeed the top student in the training class. Your technique is amazing!"
…
The short distance from the city gate to the governor's mansion took from dawn to dusk.
Until the governor's mansion closed its doors, Fuming Town was still immersed in a sea of joy, and the people spontaneously celebrated Gu Nanxi's return.
Cui Letian and others followed Gu Nanxi into the governor's mansion, with shock on their faces.
Obviously, what happened today has washed away their cognition.
“It’s so welcoming.”
"Oh my goodness, I always thought that officials were given the Umbrella of All People when they left office, it was fake, and the officials did it to make themselves famous. Today, when I saw the scene where Duke Yun was welcomed into the city, I completely believed in the Umbrella of All People."
Wen Deyuan's expression was a bit complicated: "There are real and fake Wanmin Umbrellas, but the Yunguogong is real."
Liu Guangxi clicked his tongue twice, “I’ve long known that Duke Yun is deeply loved by the people of Yunzhou, but I didn’t expect him to be loved like this!”
There was one more thing Liu Guangxi didn't say, which was that even if the emperor came to Yunzhou in person, he probably wouldn't be able to enjoy this treatment.
Everyone waited in the yard, awaiting Duke Yun's arrangements.
Lumei came here under Gu Nanxi's instructions to make arrangements for this group of young masters from Xiangzhou.
These young men were really good-looking, and just by standing there they made the whole yard bright and lively.
Lu Mei had an auntie smile on her face, her eyes full of admiration: "My dear gentlemen, you have had a hard journey. I am following the order of the Lord to take you to Yunzhou Post Station."
Lu Qing was surprised: "Aren't we living in the governor's mansion?"
If you don't live in the governor's mansion, how can you get the moon first?
Lumei took one look at Lu Qing and matched him with the portrait. She knew that this man's aunt was Lu Hongniang, whom the master intended to use, so she smiled gently.
"The master also wants to let you stay in the governor's mansion, but unfortunately the governor's mansion is not big and can't accommodate so many people."
Huang Laosan didn't believe it. There were only about twenty people in total. How could it be impossible not to arrange everything?
My own farm can accommodate thirty people, not to mention that this is the governor's residence, the residence of Duke Yun!
Lumei noticed the disbelief in the eyes of these young men and didn't want to pay any attention to them, but the men were so handsome that she became more patient.
"Our Governor's Mansion only has two courtyards, and it really can't accommodate so many people."
Liu Guangxi gasped: "Why is it so small?"
Seeing the men all showing doubts about their lives, Lu Mei chuckled, "This has been renovated. If you had come a few years earlier, you would have discovered that this pavilion was still a thatched pavilion."
Liu Guangxi was in a daze. Duke Yun lived in this place? !
Cui Letian was a little surprised, but recognized the maid in front of him as Aunt Lumei, the most trusted confidant of Queen Zhaowu.
Cui Letian narrowed his eyes slightly, determined to leave a good impression in front of Aunt Lumei: "We are new here and not very familiar with Yunzhou. Thank you for making the trip."
Cui Letian took out his purse, but Lu Mei declined: "As long as you come, you are a guest. This is what I should do."
Lumei led this group of young masters away from the governor's mansion in a grand manner.
At this moment, Gu Nanxi was hugged by Su Yunyan's arms, with a chubby little baby lying on her lap. Sitting in the two rows below were Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu and others.
Seeing that they were all staring at her without saying anything, Gu Nanxi smiled and asked, "Why? I was only away for a few months, and we have become strangers?"
The lobby was brightly lit with candles.
Wang Buxi felt a long-lost sense of peace, and complained a little: "Weren't we afraid that you would forget about your hometown? When we set out that day, we heard you say you would be back soon, but you ended up being gone for several months."
Gu Nanxi looked apologetic: "The situation changed so quickly that I had to change the battle plan. Thank you for your hard work."
Yan Tongchu was not as eloquent as Wang Bushi. The way he expressed that he was not unfamiliar with Duke Yun was very simple.
He took out a thick planner, held it in both hands, and handed it to Gu Nanxi.
Gu Nanxi was stunned and looked at the sky outside unconsciously. The moon was high in the sky and it was already midnight.
During the time I was away, had the Yunzhou government been so chaotic? They had to work in the middle of the night?! (End of this chapter)
