Jiang Yan packed her luggage early in the morning.
All the luggage added together is just a burden.
Qingmei knocked on the door and came in. Seeing the bundle on the table, she asked, "Is everything packed?"
Jiang Yan nodded.
Qingmei said, "We've arranged for someone to send the things you asked me to back to your hometown. If everything goes well, they've already received them."
"Thank you, Sister Qingmei."
"You're welcome. We'll get along after all."
Jiang Yan nodded, "I want to kowtow to the girl."
Qingmei smiled and said, "No need to kowtow. The young lady will personally escort you out of the house today."
ah!
Jiang Yan was surprised and moved.
"How can this be done?"
"Shh!"
Qingmei stretched out a finger and placed it on Jiang Yan's lips.
"The young lady left the house quietly, so don't make any noise."
Jiang Yan nodded nervously.
Qingmei said, "Let's go."
Jiang Yan followed Qingmei out of the bedroom, stood at the door, and couldn't help but look back.
She looked reluctant.
The few months she spent in the governor's mansion were probably the most comfortable and fulfilling months in her life.
I am very tired every day and have endless things to do, but I feel very satisfied.
Even her height increased in just a few months because of the good food.
When the door closes, the peaceful life also closes.
Jiang Yan took a deep breath, her eyes becoming firm again, "Sister Qingmei, please lead the way."
Qingmei led Jiang Yan out of Zhilan Courtyard, took a secluded path, and came to the back door.
Go out the back door and you will see the back alley.
An oxcart was already waiting in the back alley.
The car door opened, and Gu Jiu, dressed in men's clothing, stuck his head out and smiled, "Jiang Yan is here, get in quickly."
"girl!"
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Jiu, who was dressed as a man, and was shocked.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's convenient to go out this way."
Jiang Yan's eyebrows curved, she smiled, and nodded heavily, "The girl looks really good dressed like this. Ah, or should I say, really handsome. When outsiders see her, they will guess whose young man this is, and they may want to take him home to be their son-in-law."
Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, "You can still joke, not bad, not bad. Keep this mentality, and you will be able to make a way in the capital and enter the palace."
Jiang Yan's eyes suddenly turned red.
She held back her tears and got on the ox cart.
"Thank you, young lady."
The oxcart moved forward slowly. The two people sitting on the carriage and driving the oxcart were Erzhuang and Li Chuan.
Gu Jiu took out a purse from his arms and said, "Don't be polite. Please accept this purse. I hope it can help you."
Jiang Yan was bewildered. She opened her purse and saw that it was filled with silver notes of one tael, five taels, and the largest denomination of ten taels, totaling one hundred taels.
Jiang Yan looked terrified and quickly returned the purse to Gu Jiu, "It's too valuable. I can't accept it."
Gu Jiu put the purse back into Jiang Yan's hand and said seriously, "From today on, you are no longer my maid, and you don't have to call yourself a slave.
This amount of money may seem like a lot, but when you really need it, it may not be enough.
I just hope this money can help you reach the capital smoothly and enter the palace smoothly. This is also my last help to you."
"How can a servant like me take money from you, young lady?" Jiang Yan shook her head repeatedly and refused to take it no matter what.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Take it. Just think of it as a loan from me. If we can meet again in the future, you can return it to me if you have money."
"This..." Jiang Yan hesitated.
Gu Jiu was decisive and put the purse in Jiang Yan's hand, then held her hand and held the purse tightly.
Jiang Yan said solemnly: "I will definitely return this money to you, young lady."
Gu Jiu smiled and said nothing.
She took out two more books and handed them to Jiang Yan. "When you have free time, read more. You are a smart person. Once you learn the principles in the books, they will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, young lady."
Jiang Yan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.
Gu Jiu helped her up and said, "Don't hit your forehead, it will make you ugly."
Jiang Yan's eyes moistened, and she smiled and said, "I will listen to you, young lady."
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped.
Li Chuan shouted outside the car door: "Girl, we're here!"
Gu Jiu opened the car window curtain and looked outside.
Jinlai Winery is the place Pei Yun mentioned.
Jiang Yan gritted her teeth and jumped off the ox cart.
She stood outside the car door, looking at Gu Jiu in the car, reluctant to leave.
Finally, he only said: "I will miss you, young lady."
Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and fight for a bright future."
Jiang Yan nodded heavily, turned around, and walked into the winery without looking back. After handing over her household registration card, she was welcomed into the winery by the waiter.
The shopkeeper stood behind the counter and glanced at the ox cart.
Gu Jiu nodded to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper nodded slightly.
Gu Jiu laughed.
Soon, Li Chuan came back.
He told Gu Jiu, "I saw Jiang Yan enter the inner courtyard with my own eyes. There were more than ten beauties in the courtyard, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, and they were learning etiquette from a nanny.
I've inquired a little, and I know this group of beauties will be leaving for the capital in two days."
After listening to this, Gu Jiu just said, "Let's go."
She gave Jiang Yan a chance. Whether Jiang Yan could succeed in the future depended on her own luck.
The winery is located in the East Market, and Gu Jiu wants to go to the West Market.
The West Market is bustling with small vendors.
Gu Jiu simply got off the ox cart and strolled on the street.
Qingmei followed Gu Jiu nervously, "Miss, let's leave. There are so many people here. What if we get separated or run into someone who's not considerate enough?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay."
It's a rare opportunity to go out, so of course I can't go back empty-handed.
Gu Jiu has no interest in the various gadgets on the market.
She walked around, stopped, and watched how others did business, with all sorts of ideas running through her mind.
She was short of money, a lot of money.
It is not difficult to make money, but due to her own conditions, the business she can do is actually very limited.
Gu Jiu suddenly stopped and looked at a man dressed as a shepherd on the street.
In front of the herdsman, there was a pile of wool.
The wool was dirty. Gu Jiu observed it for a long time, but no one was interested in it.
"Girl, what are you looking at?"
"Have you heard of sheep eating people?" Gu Jiu laughed, with a gleam in her eyes, as if there was a pile of treasure waving at her.
Qingmei was stunned, "How can sheep eat people?"
Gu Jiu asked again: "Have you ever worn woolen clothes?"
Qingmei shook her head. "I heard that there are beautiful wool carpets in the west."
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Wool is not just for making carpets. Let's go see Aunt Gui."
Gu Jiu was walking back in a hurry when suddenly, there seemed to be something above his head.
Gu Jiu reached out and took a peanut from his head.
Peanuts?
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
Who the hell threw peanuts at her head?
Gu Jiu looked up and saw a familiar face, Mr. Liu.
Young Master Liu waved at her seriously, as if wanting her to go upstairs.
As for the peanut just now, Mr. Liu seemed to have forgotten it.
Gu Jiu frowned, wondering why this Mr. Liu was everywhere.
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family. It would be troublesome and dangerous.
Guard Zhao San walked out of the teahouse and said, "Hello, Miss Gu. I didn't expect to meet you here. My master invites Miss Gu upstairs for tea."
Gu Jiu raised his head again and looked upstairs.
Mr. Liu's handsome face is gone.
Gu Jiu thought about it and decided that this was something she had to see. She nodded and said, "Guard Zhao, please lead the way."
"Miss Gu, please come this way."
Gu Jiu followed Zhao San upstairs, and Qingmei served her.
Zhao San opened the door of the box and said, "Miss Gu, please come in."
Gu Jiu took a deep breath and walked into the box.
Liu Zhao's face was cold and he made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Jiu sat down opposite him.
She wanted to ask Mr. Liu why he invited her upstairs for tea, but at that moment, a riot suddenly broke out on the street.
Mr. Ma, along with the runners from the governor's office, surrounded a rice shop.
Master Ma stood on the steps, his face stern as he shouted, "Arrest everyone in the shop. Don't let any of them go. All the other irrelevant people, disperse."
It is impossible to disperse, it is impossible to disperse in this lifetime.
It was a rare occasion to see such excitement, and the crowd gathered more and more tightly.
Everyone was very curious about why the governor's office wanted to arrest the people from the rice shop.
Gu Jiu was also very curious.
I haven't heard of any major cases happening recently.
Liu Zhao's cold voice suddenly sounded in Gu Jiu's ears.
"The owner of the rice shop across the street is Lord Xie of the Eastern Palace's spy planted in Jinzhou."
Gu Jiu was shocked, turned around and stared at Liu Zhao.
Liu Zhao's face remained expressionless as he continued, "The last twenty days have been quite lively in Jinzhou City. This Mr. Ma, if I remember correctly, is his third arrest."
Moreover, all those arrested were spies planted by Lord Xie of the Eastern Palace in Jinzhou. Lord Gu's move was truly intriguing.
Excuse me, Miss Gu, has anything happened in your residence recently? "
Gu Jiu took a deep breath to calm her inner tension. She said calmly, "Everything is fine in the mansion."
Liu Zhao seemed to have heard a very funny joke and suddenly laughed.
After laughing, he poured the tea himself and placed the teacup in front of Gu Jiu.
Only then did Gu Jiu notice that Master Liu's hands were truly beautiful. His bones and flesh were evenly proportioned, his fingers were slender, yet full of strength.
"Miss Gu, have some tea."
Gu Jiu reached out and picked up the teacup.
Unexpectedly, the fingertips of their two people touched each other.
Mr. Liu's hands were completely different from those of others, warm and reassuring.
In medicine, this is called sufficient qi and blood.
Gu Jiu's hands were icy cold, as if they were in winter. He was obviously lacking in energy and blood.
