Nanpu Street is a very busy street in Fengtian. People from Fengtian would go to Nanpu Street during the day and to the night market in Dashiqiao at night. The Gu brothers used to be stationed at the border all year round, but they still went to Nanpu Street. Looking at the shops next to each other on the street, the hustle and bustle, the endless stream of people, the brothers could only sigh in their hearts that this street is still the same as before. But Yu Xiaoxiao was so shocked that she didn't expect that there were so many people shopping in Fengtian during the day. Don't they all have to work to earn money?
Gu Xingnuo sent his younger brother and sister-in-law to the door of the old candy shop and left first. The two younger ones could walk around outside, but he, as the eldest brother, had to go home and tell the old man about what happened. He couldn't let the old man keep the family waiting anxiously.
"Brother, I'll buy some candy for you. You wait for me at home," Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the store and shouted to Gu Xingnuo who had already mounted the horse.
People on the street looked at the young master. How could such a grown man like to eat candy? It was acceptable for women and children to eat small candies, but it was unacceptable for a man to hold a bag of candies and chew them.
Gu Xingnuo's body swayed on the horse's back before he turned back and said to Yu Xiao: "Be careful and go home early."
"Yes," Yu Xiaoxiao agreed to Brother Gu's request readily. Why would she go if she didn't go home?
Gu Xingnuo rode away with a few guards from the Gu mansion.
Xiao Zhuang ran out of the old candy shop. As a good boy with excellent Qinggong skills, Xiao Zhuang had already visited the old candy shop. He ran to Yu Xiaoxiao and whispered, "Princess, it's full of candies!"
Xiao Wei no longer has any expectations for Xiaozhuang's intelligence. This store is called Lao Tang Pu. If it doesn't sell candy, what else can this store sell?
Gu Xinglang felt a headache looking at the shop in front of him. He didn't know if this shop had just made sugar. There was a smell of sugar in the air in front of the shop. It was so sweet that it was greasy for someone like Gu Sanshao who didn't like sweet food. It was completely incomparable to the faint sweet smell on his wife's lips.
Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the door of the old candy shop and took a deep breath of air. Her Royal Highness the Princess liked this sweet smell.
Gu Xinglang didn't dare to breathe deeply in this air, he put his hand under his nose to cover it, and said to his wife, "Let's go in."
Before Yu Xiaoxiao could answer, the sound of gongs and drums came from the north of the street.
"This is a newly opened craftsman's shop. The goods are good and cheap. Don't miss it if you pass by—"
To Gu Xinglang, the Artisan's Workshop, which sells furniture, farm tools, and weapons, is much more attractive than the candy shop in front of him. Young Master Gu looked at the north end of the street with a yearning look in his eyes.
Xiao Wei is a smart guy. When he saw Gu Xinglang's expression, he knew that his husband wanted to go. Xiao Wei said to Yu Xiao: "Princess, let's go buy some candy and let the husband go to the craftsman's workshop to have a look."
Yu Xiao: "What does the craftsman's workshop sell?"
Xiao Zhuang said, "There should be people selling swords."
Yu Xiaoxiao was not very interested in swords. After arriving in this world, Her Royal Highness the Princess had never met anyone who could fight with her (Master Chen Qi was automatically ignored by Her Royal Highness the Princess). Besides, she was used to using firearms, so it was completely a fantasy for Her Royal Highness the Princess to be fond of cold weapons.
Gu Xinglang didn't appreciate Xiao Wei's kindness. No matter how unwilling he was, he had to accompany his wife. Gu Sanshao said to his wife, "Let's buy some candy first, and then go to the craftsman's workshop."
The proprietress of the old candy shop had already seen this group of customers. She had been waiting at the door before Gu Xingnuo left. Now that the young couple was finally about to enter the store, the proprietress hurriedly came up to Yu Xiao and said, "What kind of candy would you like to buy, madam?"
Yu Xiaoxiao said as soon as she opened her mouth: "Pine nut candy."
"Then please come in, ma'am," the proprietress invited Yu Xiaoxiao into the store.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked into the store and saw a circle of shelves lined up against the wall. She immediately exclaimed to the proprietress, "You have so many candies here." Thinking about the days when the damn man risked his life for a piece of chocolate, Yu Xiaoxiao felt really sad.
The proprietress smiled and asked kindly, "What would you like, ma'am?"
Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to ask if she could try it first. It was a small roadside stall, and the owner was a small business, so it was not easy to take advantage of others. But this store was so big, and Yu Xiaoxiao felt very sorry for herself if she didn't take advantage of it and bargain.
Just when Yu Xiaoxiao was about to ask for a sample, Gu Xinglang spoke up and said to the proprietress, "Please pack me a little of everything." His wife's stomach was like a bottomless pit, and Young Master Gu felt that no matter how much he bought, it would never be enough to fill her stomach.
When the proprietress heard that she had made this big deal without any effort, she responded to Gu Xinglang with a smile and told the guys to load the goods for Young Master Gu.
Yu Xiaoxiao was furious. Is this how you buy things? She just realized that her little Gu was a spendthrift!
Gu Xinglang also asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What else do you want? Let's buy it together."
The lady boss said, "Young Master, we still have cakes here."
"Xiao Zhuang and Xiao Wei," Yu Xiao said, "You two can take Xiao Gu to the craftsman's workshop to play."
Gu Xinglang said, "You don't want to buy candy?"
Yu Xiaoxiao urged Xiaozhuang and Xiaowei, "Hurry up, take Xiaogu to the craftsman's workshop," and then turned to the proprietress and said, "He has no money, so I'm the one who needs to buy things."
Xiao Wei understood that the princess was worried about the money, so she pulled Xiao Zhuang up and ran over, picked up Gu Xinglang and left. What? Protect the princess? Xiao Wei laughed, did his princess need someone to protect her?
Gu Xinglang was carried out of the old candy shop. He looked at Xiao Wei and said, "What happened?"
Xiao Wei whispered, "My Lord, you are too extravagant when buying things."
Gu Xinglang thought this was totally unfair. His wife was a princess from the royal family, and she thought he was spending money lavishly?
"Let's go to the craftsman's shop," Xiao Wei said to Gu Xinglang, "Prince Consort, please see if there is anything you can buy for the princess."
"What?" Gu Xinglang looked at Xiao Wei. Was there anything his wife lacked?
Xiao Wei felt that being a servant was not easy, so he whispered to Gu Xinglang, "My Lord, you haven't given the princess anything since you got married, right?" Even a secret guard like me knew about the token of love, but you don't know about it, my Lord? Xiao Wei felt bad looking at Gu Xinglang. One of them didn't understand romance, and the other probably didn't even know the word romance. How were these two going to live?
Gu Xinglang looked at Xiao Wei inquiringly and said, "I didn't expect that you know so much, Xiao Wei."
Xiao Wei was so cruel that he said, "That's what Nanny Wang said."
"It's Nanny again?" Gu Xinglang asked. To Young Master Gu, Nanny Wang had become an omnipresent figure.
"Yes," Xiao Wei said, "Prince Consort, what are you going to give to the princess?" Don't tell me to buy food, Xiao Wei said to himself, otherwise I won't be able to live like this!
