Seeing Bai Yi and Bai Er's depressed expressions, Gu Xin was in a good mood. She then instructed them, "Bai Yi, Bai Er, take these fish to the kitchen and tell the cook that I want spicy fish, pickled fish, fish balls, grilled fish, and steamed fish."
The man in white kicked Bai Er: "Hurry up and go."
Bai Er: "...Oh."
Zheng Qiu watched from the side and laughed.
Over the years, her life has been constantly tense. It was only in the last few months, with the addition of Princess Gu Xin to her life, that she has been able to relax more often.
She was very grateful to Gu Xin.
However, apart from her extensive experience as a coroner, she knew nothing else.
Even with so little money, he couldn't afford to buy Gu Xin a decent gift.
She had heard that Gu Xin and Lu Zheng might get married next January, and she definitely needed to give Gu Xin a nice gift then.
Yes, the plans at the Marquis's residence need to be accelerated.
...
Lord Liu, accompanied by his wife Lady Li, and the three Generals Ying, each accompanied by their wives, arrived at the villa.
The children in those families were either younger than Gu Xin, or those around her age were already married. They couldn't possibly bring their sons along, or they would be in trouble if Prince Lu found out.
So, it was always a couple who came together.
Gu Xin didn't mind; her main goal tonight was to have a good drink.
The wives of General Ying were also from military families and were able to enjoy a few drinks, so the atmosphere at the banquet was quite harmonious.
Mrs. Liu couldn't drink, but she was eloquent and kept the atmosphere pleasant.
Seeing that Gu Xinren was easygoing, Madam Liu asked about the Western Regions, which she was very interested in.
Gu Xin also told everyone about a few battles with Yunhai in the West, but she talked more about the local customs and culture of the West, where she had stayed for two years.
Later, Gu Hui and Peng Ze brought some seeds over, and some of them were able to survive in the western region.
The more Madam Liu and the three generals' wives listened, the more interested they became, and they all wanted to go there for a walk.
Gu Xin was surprised by their ideas. She thought most officials' wives didn't want to go out, so she encouraged them, "Actually, you don't need to go to the far west. Going there requires crossing the desert. You ladies can go to Kunzhou. West of Kunzhou is Dalangzhou. The scenery and customs there are somewhat different from our Great Zhou, although the original territory of Dalangzhou was controlled by King Qu. You can walk through the desert in Dalangzhou, feel the endless yellow sand, and ride camels. You can also go to the grasslands north of Kunzhou. The boundless grasslands are so refreshing. On the grasslands, both men and women can sing and dance, and they also have delicious food. Of course, you can also visit the Goddess Kingdom. The customs there are completely different from our Great Zhou, but the people there are very nice. There's also Jinanzhou, which is rich in jade, and it's much cheaper than here. If you're lucky, you can buy a very valuable piece of jade for the price of a stone."
The ladies couldn't imagine the scenes Gu Xin described, because none of them had ever seen deserts or grasslands, nor had they ever seen what jade looked like before it was processed. Hearing Gu Xin say this made them even more excited.
Gu Xin saw what the ladies were thinking, and then gave Madam Peng a free advertisement: "Ladies, Madam Peng has a security escort agency. You can ask the agency to take you there. It's absolutely safe."
