Now things are fine. She and her youngest daughter have come to Nanyang Prefecture. She heard that her eldest daughter has gone to the island again to continue making some kind of powerful weapon.
Guigu Xi had seen those conscripted laborers forging weapons before, but unfortunately, after more than a year of effort, they hadn't accomplished anything except for a fire-breathing weapon. Although the fire-breathing weapon was more powerful than swords, it also had many limitations. To forge a fire-breathing weapon, you had to apply a potion; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to be forged. It was not as practical as swords, as you could slash or stab however you wanted as long as you kept them in your hand.
According to Gui Guxi, his eldest daughter was simply out of her mind. With such excellent kung fu skills, she should have just fought the Jin people directly instead of making weapons. She was too foolish.
She didn't want to think about those unpleasant things anymore. She and her youngest daughter would just open a shop in Nanyang Prefecture, eat and drink, and enjoy life. She would let her eldest daughter and son worry about other things; she didn't want to get involved.
That day, Gui Guxi and Yokoyama Eiko came to Meizhoulou for dinner again. They also ordered a pot of mulberry wine and a pot of bayberry wine, and ordered a portion of all the good dishes in the restaurant. The mother and daughter finished off the whole table of food and the two pots of wine.
After paying the bill, the two left with flushed faces. They weren't drunk, though. Fruit wine does have a strong aftereffect, and getting drunk is something that happens later. However, the mother and daughter, Guigu Xi, had a high alcohol tolerance, so two jugs of wine didn't make them drunk.
"Auntie, that Madam Heng's accent is strange, did you notice?" Chen Yueru came to Nanyang Prefecture half a month ago. She heard that Brother Fu had returned, so she rushed over.
Just now, when she took the dishes upstairs to Ya Yi, she overheard Madam Heng suddenly utter a strange word at the door. It didn't sound like the language of Da Jin at all. Although there are many dialects in the south, each place has its own dialect, and the tones of each village are also different.
Having lived in the South for a long time, she could still tell the difference between dialects, but she found the tone of that Madam Heng's voice strange, though she couldn't quite put her finger on why.
When Gui Guxi and his youngest daughter arrived in Nanyang Prefecture, they introduced themselves as Madam Heng. Hengshan Yingzi was named Hengying, and there were people with the surname Heng in the Great Jin Dynasty, so their identities did not arouse suspicion.
