Who knew that just as I reached the door, I heard Li Ershu say the same thing again.
Liu Miaoyin, her heart pounding with embarrassment, could only run away in a panic.
"Lili, did I say something wrong?" Li Ershu said, completely bewildered.
If Li Ershu weren't her second uncle, Gu Lili would have loved to jump up and give him a good whack on the head.
He doesn't seem stupid usually, but when he meets the girl he loves, he seems to lose a screw.
"Second Uncle, girls are easily embarrassed, how could they listen to such words? Miss Liu is just shy," Gu Lili said speechlessly.
Li Ershu suddenly realized that he had made Liu Miaoyin shy because of his careless words.
If Li Ershu were to catch up with Liu Miaoyin to explain at this moment, Liu Miaoyin would probably be even more embarrassed.
He thought to himself that he would explain to Liu Miaoyin when the time was right.
Look at the five dishes and one soup laid out on the table, along with a plate of pastries.
Li Ershu was surprised to find that these were all foods he liked to eat.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself that he hadn't expected the things Liu Miaoyin sent to be so coincidental, all of which suited his taste.
Little did they know that Liu Miaoyin had secretly remembered the extra dishes Li Ershu had served her while they were eating.
This led to what Li Ershu thought was a coincidence.
"Second Uncle, come and eat! Aren't you going to set up your stall after you eat?" Gu Lili said with a smile.
Li Ershu nodded, sat down at the table, and began to eat.
I don't know if it's because I made money today, or because Liu Miaoyin prepared all the food herself.
Li Ershu ate with exceptional relish; he almost devoured all five dishes and the soup.
Seeing Li Ershu burping, Gu Lili also revealed her plans.
"Second Uncle, we're preparing to return to Donghai tomorrow," Gu Lili said to Li Ershu, taking a sip of tea.
Li Ershu was puzzled. Why did he say he was going to learn mother-of-pearl inlay yesterday, but suddenly say he was going home today?
Seeing the confusion on Li Ershu's face, Gu Lili told him what had happened that day.
Li Ershu was also informed of the plan to bring Yi Rou and her daughter back to Donghai.
Li Ershu nodded and smiled, "That's great! You've been away from home for so long, I wonder how things are back home. It's good to go back sooner."
However, Li Ershu probably wouldn't be able to go back with Gu Lili and Chang'an.
"Then you guys go back first. I want to stay in Jiangdu for a few more days and sign more contracts!" Li Ershu said with a simple smile.
His current goal is to sign more contracts and earn more money.
This way, I can marry Liu Miaoyin as soon as possible.
I don't expect Liu Miaoyin to live a life of great wealth and luxury, but at least she shouldn't have to suffer with him.
In fact, that was also Gu Lili's plan.
Now that Li Ershu is capable of handling things on his own, Gu Lili is at ease knowing that he is staying in Jiangdu alone and that the Liu family is helping him.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Alright! Then I'll say goodbye to Madam Liu tonight, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning."
I already know the way back, so it should be faster than the way there.
Gu Lili is now eager to return home.
I wonder how Baiweixuan is doing at Gu Yunchu's place, whether Huanhuan's work has improved, whether she's been unhappy lately, and Gu Yanyu—I wonder if she's grown taller, and how her studies are going.
And what about Grandma, Grandpa, Little Fox...? How are they doing now?
Gu Lili couldn't help but think to herself that if she had a car, she could probably get back in a day.
Actually, there are cars, but to bring them out so openly would probably cause panic.
Let's just honestly drive the carriage back.
Li Ershu slapped his forehead, only then remembering that Yu Shanhai had asked him to inquire about Gu Lili.
“Lili, the uncle from Shanhai who signed a contract with me today said that he grows chrysanthemums and roses, but no one is buying them. He asked me to ask you if you could give him some advice.”
Gu Lili immediately recognized the name Shan Hai Shu.
Of all the contracts, Yu Shan Hai gave the largest deposit.
When Gu Lili heard Li Ershu mention roses and chrysanthemums, her eyes lit up.
She had originally planned to plant some herself next year.
It can be used to make scented soap, that is, bar soap.
Unexpectedly, I found myself falling asleep right on the pillow.
If Yushanhai has them readily available, then they can start selling soap this year!
"Second Uncle! Where is Uncle Shanhai? Let's go see his roses and chrysanthemums right now!" Gu Lili stood up excitedly and said.
With these two items, Gu Lili's soap will surely become a sensation throughout the entire Southern Yue Kingdom.
Li Ershu was startled by Gu Lili's sudden standing up.
He patted his chest and explained, "I don't know where he lives, but I made an appointment with him to meet at the teahouse tomorrow at noon."
Seeing Gu Lili so excited, Chang'an and Li Ershu were both curious.
Could Gu Lili also have a use for these chrysanthemums and roses?
"Lili, what do you need this flower for?" Chang'an asked.
Li Ershu nodded in agreement, indicating that he was also very interested to know.
Gu Lili then realized she had been too excited, sat down again, took a sip of tea, and slowly said, "Make soap!"
Li Ershu was somewhat puzzled, but Chang'an had guessed a thing or two.
"Is it a scented soap?" Chang'an asked.
Gu Lili smiled and nodded, saying, "Exactly, if this soap is made, it will definitely be more popular than regular soap."
Chang'an and Li Ershu nodded, looking at Gu Lili with admiration.
I don't know where Gu Lili learned all this; she's really amazing.
“Then you’ll probably have to stay another day tomorrow,” Li Ershu said slowly.
He didn't understand the value of roses and chrysanthemums, nor could he discern any particular significance in them.
If Gu Lili needs these things, then she will have to go to the fields with Yu Shanhai herself to see them.
Gu Lili nodded and said, "Anyway, we've already stayed for so many days, so what's one or two more? Tomorrow at noon, I'll go with you to see Uncle Shan Hai."
After finishing his business, Li Ershu hurriedly packed his things and went out to set up his stall again.
Gu Lili packed her bags, preparing to head home after seeing Yu Shanhai's roses and chrysanthemums.
Just as I was packing my bags, there was a knock at the door.
Gu Lili stopped what she was doing and turned to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Gu Lili saw Chang'an standing in the doorway.
"Chang'an, is something the matter?" Gu Lili asked.
Seeing that Chang'an seemed preoccupied, Gu Lili wondered what had happened.
They've been together for so many days, and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
"Lili, I want to be honest with you about something."
