Li Shouji said this expressionlessly, which instantly scared Xiaoguo into breaking out in a cold sweat, and even the people around him couldn't help but become worried.

Li Shouji looked at their serious expressions and suddenly laughed. He laughed non-stop. After he had laughed enough, he explained, "The body is fine. I'm talking about the heart. That heart is suffering from severe lovesickness."

Xiaoguo didn't understand at first, but after seeing their teasing expressions, she finally reacted.

Lovesickness, is Jiang Danhe missing her?

This possibility made her blood boil instantly, and she pursed her lips shyly.

Even in her panic, she did not forget to look down at Zhuangzhuang. The little guy just looked up at her ignorantly. It was too difficult for him at his age to understand the feelings of adults.

Seeing that Zhuangzhuang didn't understand, Xiaoguo was relieved. Then he pretended to be calm and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense."

Li Shouji knew that Xiao Zhuangzhuang was still there, so he did not repeat it again. However, he was sure of one thing, that Jiang Shanhe had lovesickness for him, and he definitely did not lie.

After a long journey, Li Shouji quickly arranged rooms for them, which were very close to each other. After putting down their luggage, they did not rest but gathered together to chat.

Shu Botong wanted to find out about things in the capital, so he started chatting with Li Shouji first. After the two of them became familiar with each other and could call each other brothers, the others came over one after another.

"When will Shan He come back?"

Li Shouji said to Qin Anming, "It's hard to say. If it's good, it will be in the afternoon, if it's bad, it will be in the evening. How about I go and ask around later?"

In the future, it is very likely that I will follow Jiang Shanhe back to my hometown. Since Qin Anming is Jiang Shanhe's brother-in-law, he is my real brother. I must actively answer his questions.

"Forget it. It would be bad if he noticed."

Qin Anming smiled and shook his head. After his brother-in-law left Xiaoguo, he was very careful. If he accidentally noticed something was wrong, he would be able to find out the truth by following the clues. Only when he met Xiaoguo would he become a fool who didn't think and was only happy.

Li Shouji nodded in agreement. Yes, Jiang Shanhe was such a cunning old man that he couldn't be told. The secret had to be kept to the end.

It was lunch time when they arrived. When the cook in the backyard heard Xiaoguo coming, she wanted to run to find her immediately, but she had too much work to do, so she had to do her work first.

Afterwards, the two delighted people took the opportunity of the food being served to run to the living room, where they chatted while the food was being served.

The two of them missed their wife from the bottom of their hearts. Although they had not spent much time together, they just liked her.

Both of them have been cooks for a long time and have worked in many mansions, big and small. Only the General's Mansion treats them equally with ordinary people and never discriminates or treats them harshly. Working here, they are happy and motivated every day.

They basically knew how to cook all the recipes that Madam left for them last time, but the taste was still a little off, so they thought of asking Madam to demonstrate in person. The two of them finally got Madam back after such a long wait, so how could they not be happy.

Because Xiaoguo and the others came, the two cooks showed their magical skills and worked hard to cook a large table of dishes.

I wanted to invite them to eat with us, but they had to leave regretfully because they had a lot of things to do in the kitchen.

At the dinner table, Li Shouji was eating when he suddenly remembered something, "Sister-in-law, are you going to leave after this visit?"

"Go back, and come back after the Spring Festival."

Xiaoguo picked up a piece of food for Zhuangzhuang, and then heard a sigh. He looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

"What a pity! If I hadn't left, I could have delicious meals every day." Li Shouji said pitifully, and then he became happy again. "It's okay. At least until next year, I can still enjoy some delicious food, right, sister-in-law?"

Xiaoguo thought helplessly, did I come here to cook?

But before he could utter a word, he was shocked by Li Shouji's 24K golden eyes.

I couldn't say the words that came to my lips, so I could only nod and agree.

Li Shouji immediately showed a brilliant smile on his face. Although he didn't say anything, the words revealed from his face were understood by the people present. That sentence can be simply summed up in three words: It's great~

"Let's go to the New Year's Fair this afternoon!"

At the dinner table, Ruyi put down her chopsticks and said excitedly.

When they came, the postman chose a secluded road on purpose to avoid the large army and crowds, but even so, there were still many people rushing to the market. The capital city really lived up to its reputation, with plenty of everything.

From the moment Ruyi arrived in Beijing, her heart flew to the market. She had only been to the market in Yonghai County since she was a child, but she never thought she would be able to go out again in her lifetime. She went to many markets, big and small, along the way, and the things she saw dazzled her.

Passing by the market entrance of the capital, she only took a look at the bustling atmosphere and was already very nostalgic for it.

Xiao Guo had also finished eating by this time and looked at her helplessly, "Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired. It's so much fun to go out!"

Ruyi whispered in her ear, seeming a little embarrassed to let others hear.

Xiao Guo rubbed her itchy ears and looked at the others, "Do you guys want to take a break or hurry up?"

Qin Anming looked at Ruyi and said, "I want to rest."

Shu Botong immediately followed up, "I agree!"

"Let's take a rest too." Xiaozhu and Yuling looked at her apologetically and said in unison.

Everyone's reaction was as expected. Xiao Guo nodded, "Me too."

Ruyi saw that no one was willing to stand with her, so she looked at the only person who didn't say anything pitifully, "Zhuangzhuang?"

Zhuangzhuang was a little hesitant. He was thinking about how to refuse so that Sister Ruyi would not be sad.

After much hesitation, I decided not to say anything and just take action to make it clear.

Ruyi took a deep breath and said weakly, "Okay, then I'll take a rest too."

Xiaoguo touched Zhuangzhuang who was hugging her with encouragement, and the little man also gave her a pleasant smile.

"Just rest at home. The New Year's Fair is still a few days away. It will be in time to go there in two days."

As soon as Li Shouji said this, he was unanimously agreed by several people.

Ruyi nodded helplessly. What they said was indeed right. She was too tired from traveling these days. She had also been rushing around these days and couldn't control her excitement all of a sudden. It seemed that she had to slowly adjust her state.

Several people laughed at her listless look. The little girl was really interesting. She was so young but she loved to rush around. She was still young.

Wait, aren't Xiaozhu and Yuling younger? Why don't they like to get together?

It depends on the person.

–

Although it was said that Jiang Shanhe would not be told about the arrival of Xiaoguo and the others, but without revealing anything at all, it was unclear when the protagonist would return.

So it was our close subordinate Mr. Li Shouji who waved his hand and sent someone to the military camp to find the general.

"Deputy General, what should I say?"

It just so happened that the person Li Shouji casually recruited was a newcomer, and when Xiaoguo came, he happened to be having lunch. He didn't hear anything when he came out, and naturally he didn't know the identity of the person who came to the mansion.

Although Jiang Shanhe's soldiers were sometimes a little poor, they were loyal. They could talk freely among themselves, but they would never spread gossip outside.

What's more, he was a newcomer and had not yet become familiar with the older brothers. No one would specifically tell him about what was going on in the mansion.

So the newcomer arrived at the military camp in a daze, and met the general in a daze.

Facing the general's intimidating gaze, the recruit's mind went blank. He only remembered one sentence from the deputy general: be more obscure.

Obscure, obscure, obscure!!

"General, someone has come to the palace, and the deputy general wants you to go home early."

"Who is it?" Jiang Shanhe frowned. The nobles in the capital probably wouldn't dare to visit him suddenly.

"Back to General, a group of people!"

The recruit looks very happy, isn't that subtle enough?
