After finishing his meal, Wei Yue called Wei Yin aside, gave him a few instructions, and then left the Gu family under the cover of night.
They are secret guards, and they have their own way of communicating.
I believe that within three days, the nearby guards will be able to receive the messages sent out by Wei Yue.
Meanwhile, a secret letter was also sent by Wei Yue from Donghai Town to Shangjing.
Wei Yin stayed at the Gu family's residence, helping with chores while waiting for news from the Crown Prince.
The three of them, including Gu Lili, had no idea that such a big thing had happened at home after they left.
The group walked and stopped frequently, taking a break whenever they came across a larger town to see if there were any suitable business opportunities.
Another thing was to post portraits of Chang'an.
However, there were no cell phones or anything like that in this era, so even if someone did recognize Chang'an, they would have to go to Gu Village in Donghai Town, under Gu Lili's portrait, to look for her.
Because Gu Yanyu had told Chang'an that he was dark-skinned, he started wearing a straw hat while working.
It was much whiter than before, so Gu Lili didn't add any light ink to Chang'an's portrait.
After traveling for ten days, Gu Lili and her two companions finally arrived in Jiangdu.
Gu Lili didn't have much money left when she bought the crabs, so she kept some at home.
Fortunately, I can communicate with Uncle Fortune through the system.
At Gu Lili's suggestion, Uncle Facai resold glass products through the system several times. Looking at the balance on the system, Gu Lili's worries were greatly relieved.
Just as I was thinking about this, Chang'an's voice came from outside the carriage.
"Lili, we've arrived at the inn."
Chang'an's voice was deep and pleasant, which made Gu Lili's lips curl into a smile.
Gu Lili lifted the carriage curtain, and the bustling street came into view.
This place is much more lively than Donghai Town, and even better than the towns we've encountered along the way.
The streets were bustling with crowds, and vendors were hawking their wares along the roadside.
The people walking on the street were almost all dressed in fine silks and satins.
This also shows that this is a prosperous land.
Most of the people coming and going spoke languages that were not familiar to them, although they could all understand each other, which showed that these people came from different places.
Today, after traveling for several hours, Gu Lili's plan was to rest well before going out for a stroll.
After getting off the carriage, the innkeeper, upon hearing that the group had come to stay, quickly pulled Zhui Feng and the carriage to the backyard.
"Waiter, make sure to use the best fodder!" Gu Lili reminded the waiter.
Zhui Feng had been traveling with them all this way, which had been quite tiring, so naturally he had to be taken good care of.
Upon hearing this, the waiter beamed even more.
The three of them carried their luggage and stepped into the inn, where the waiter warmly greeted them.
"Two superior rooms!" Gu Lili said readily.
Since they're out looking for business opportunities, they naturally want to put on a show.
The waiter quickly carried the tea and led the three of them upstairs to the second floor.
The two rooms are adjacent, so they can look out for each other.
Gu Lili asked for hot water again, preparing to wash up later.
"Chang'an, Second Uncle, after you two finish your baths, change into these clothes," Gu Lili said, handing over a bundle.
Although their clothes weren't too bad, they would naturally need to change into more luxurious clothes to go out tomorrow.
When people don't know someone well, they usually judge them by their clothes and appearance first.
Respect clothing before respecting people; this is an age-old and unchanging principle.
The two took the clothes and went back to their house.
Gu Lili turned around, carried her bundle into her room, and locked the door.
When you're out and about, you should still be extra careful.
After several hours of bumpy travel, Gu Lili felt like her butt was about to fall apart.
She put her things down and quickly lay down on the bed.
The soft bed made Gu Lili feel very comfortable.
She stretched and then closed her eyes for a short rest.
I'll take a nap first, and then take a hot bath after the waiter brings the hot water.
Less than fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on Gu Lili's door.
"Who is it?" Gu Lili asked subconsciously.
Hearing the waiter's voice outside saying that water was being delivered, Gu Lili went forward and opened the door.
"Sir, your hot water is ready. I will add it to the bathtub for you now."
As the waiter spoke, he carried the bucket of water and walked behind the screen.
Gu Lili quickly stopped the waiter.
"No need! I'll do it myself in a bit!" Gu Lili refused.
Gu Lili couldn't overcome the mental barrier that the bathtub in this inn had been used by countless people.
The innkeeper had seen all sorts of people come and go in this inn.
Naturally, he didn't find it strange, he just nodded, put down the bucket, and left.
Gu Lili thought for a moment, then went straight out the door and headed to the next room.
At the same time, something else appeared in his hand, somewhere no one could see it.
Gu Lili's room was in front, and she guessed that the waiter hadn't brought the hot water over yet.
She knocked on the door and called out, "Chang'an, Third Uncle, open the door quickly!"
Hearing Gu Lili's shouts, the people inside quickly came over and opened the door.
"Lili, is something the matter?" Chang'an asked.
As he spoke, Chang'an made way for Gu Lili to go in.
Gu Lili had just told the two of them that they should wait until they finished showering and changed their clothes before going out.
I wonder if Gu Lili has something to discuss with them.
Li Ershu sat up in bed the moment he heard Gu Lili's voice.
Gu Lili said as she walked, carrying the things in her hands, "I brought you some things because I was worried that the bathtub was dirty, so you can use it with some extra space."
She walked towards the screen and quickly covered it with the plastic sheeting that provided insulation.
Nowadays, people have multiple wives and concubines and love to philander. If you pay more attention, you won't go wrong.
Gu Lili had just finished laying out the mat when the waiter brought water.
The waiter looked at the plastic film in the bucket with great curiosity, but he knew he shouldn't say anything.
So after delivering the water, I closed the door and left.
Chang'an and Li Ershu weren't curious about the plastic film, after all, Gu Lili's family had a plastic greenhouse.
The water was delivered, so Gu Lili went back to her room to take a shower.
After taking a bath and changing her clothes, Gu Lili went out with Chang'an and Li Ershu.
I went out for a stroll and decided to find something to eat.
It was just getting dark, but the city was still bustling with activity.
"Wow! No wonder it's a gathering place for merchants; it's still so lively even after dark." Li Ershu couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the bustling street.
Gu Lili nodded. In Donghai Town, by nightfall, the streets would have long since dispersed.
As the three were watching, they heard a loud commotion of gongs and drums ahead. They exchanged glances and decided to go see what was going on.
