Princess Jinghe pursed her lips and said, "You had someone deliver it to my house, and I bought it. Didn't I tell you that you'd sell all your paintings to me from now on? I've been back for months since you painted those for the New Year, why didn't you mention them?"
Qian Liangduo innocently replied, "This humble official thought the princess didn't want it for the time being. It was my fault, this humble official..."
Princess Jinghe interrupted him impatiently: "I don't hold any official position in the court, so why are you calling me 'official'? I don't want to waste my breath on you. Remember to send the things to my family; someone there will pay you. You can find my house, right?"
Qian Liangduo nodded: "Yes, I can find it. Don't worry, Princess, I'll send it to you as soon as I'm done."
Princess Jinghe nodded: "I'm leaving, you can continue with your own business!"
Then I called my girlfriends and we left together.
Qian Liangduo reaped another bounty of "Goodbye! Keep it up, Lord Qian!" "Work hard, Lord Qian!" "We believe in you, Lord Qian!" "..."
As the runner-up in the previous competition, Qian Liangduo is definitely not dull-witted.
He felt a little uneasy. Could it be that the princess had discovered his little scheme?
What should I do?
Will the princess think she's a toad trying to eat swan meat?
Ouch!
...
Princess Jinghe owes several hundred taels more in money and grain than agreed, but she doesn't mention it, nor does she herself say anything.
She went to the camp the next day, and could only rest for three days each month.
The anxiety over money and provisions subsided during the few days Princess Jinghe was at the camp. They worked diligently, knowing that the Emperor was in Kunzhou and they could not afford to be negligent.
Soon, September arrived.
Gu Shouxin has already categorized the people who have moved to Kuncheng, and there are exactly three villages, a total of 130 households and more than 500 people. He plans to send them all to Chunnan City.
Judging from the current situation, Chunnan City is definitely the first to develop. He has already planned the territory of three villages, selected village leaders, and sent Hu Liang with his men to directly hand over the responsibilities to Huo Junhao.
Grandma Xiao also took this opportunity to go to Chunnan City to dig up some medicinal herbs and take Empress Xue's pulse.
By September, the Gu family was visibly busier, because Gu Hui was getting married in a month.
To show their high regard for Gu Hui, Madam Peng and Madam Peng the Fourth were busy preparing for the wedding.
Relatives from two families have been arriving from various places. Although it's only early September, everyone has heard about the changes in Kuncheng and wants to come and experience it for themselves as soon as possible.
At this time, the inn that Madam Xue opened for Xue Qianyu and Gu Nian to prepare for the next year had just opened in September, and this business came in.
Madam Xue's inn has a very un-ancient name: "Nian Nian Bu Wang" (meaning "Unforgettable").
Her guesthouse is located next to the West District Restaurant, near Kun Lake. It only provides accommodation and does not provide meals.
There are two buildings in total, with a large area used for parking horse-drawn carriages, and a place rented outside the city specifically for washing bed sheets and duvet covers.
Each of these two buildings has three floors and is rectangular in shape. The central courtyard is filled with flowers and plants, creating a beautiful landscape. The buildings are also surrounded by walls to ensure safety and privacy.
Each floor has twenty guest rooms, so Madam Xue's inn can accommodate several hundred people, enough to welcome the guests who come to attend the wedding.
Gu Nian thought Madam Xue was quite nice. She didn't interfere in your affairs, but she understood when you talked to her about business. And when it was time to have fun, she would never hold back and would let you enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Gu Nian really likes her.
