Chapter 443: Going bankrupt?
"Mu Yun," Gu Tingqiu said calmly as he looked at a carriage in the gradually receding procession, "You should keep your composure. Those who achieve great things must guard against arrogance and impatience."
“…”
"It won't do you any harm to train under Master Jian for a year or two."
“…”
"Your sister is smart," Gu Tingqiu said as he took the warmed wine from the small stove on the table, poured himself a glass, and poured him another glass: "You shouldn't underestimate her."
“…”
"If you truly wish to restore the former glory of the Si family and regain your prestige as Marquis of Bowang and Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you must reconcile with your sister."
Si Muyun was silent for a long time, then said, "So, uncle, you sent money to her in the name of mother and me?"
"At least, let her know your sincerity in wanting to reconcile."
"Do we really have to rely on a woman?"
Gu Tingqiu said calmly, "Haven't you heard the saying? Don't be happy if you have a boy, and don't be sad if you have a girl."
“…”
"I think her path doesn't stop there."
Si Muyun frowned slightly.
Don't be happy if you have a boy, don't be sad if you have a girl...
When I looked up again, the team had disappeared into the distance.

The convoy headed north at a very fast pace.
The further north you go, the worse the weather becomes.
The north wind blew snow foam and kept blowing on the carriage. Even though I was wrapped in thick clothes, the coldness still kept penetrating in and seeping into my muscles and bones.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
That day, the team stopped in a small town.
This small town is very close to Peking, but the imperial court did not set up a post station here, so naturally there were no officials to welcome the emperor.
Therefore, they did not disturb the people nearby and just found a place to stay.
Zhu Feng plans to rest here.
Although they were puzzled as to why they stopped in such a small town, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, they had been traveling day and night for the past few days, and everyone's physical strength had reached its limit, so as soon as they found a place to stay, everyone went to rest. However, Nan Yan was still in good spirits. She cleaned the room for Zhu Feng and brought him hot tea.
Zhu Feng sat at the table, looking at the memorial in his hand.
Seeing her coming over, he reached out and pulled her, pinching her clothes: "Why are you wearing so little? Are you cold?"
Nan Yan sniffed her red nose and said, "It's cold."
“…”
"I didn't expect Peking to be so cold."
Zhu Feng rolled his eyes at her angrily: "They say Peking is a bitterly cold place, don't you understand this?"
“…”
Nan Yan pouted and lowered her head.
Zhu Feng sighed, glanced out the window again, and then said, "Go, while you have some free time this afternoon, go to town and buy some clothes."
Just then, Ye Zheng walked in from outside. Zhu Feng said, "Give her some money."
"Why?"
Ye Zheng was caught off guard. How could he lose money just because he came in to discuss something?
When Nan Yan heard him ask her to go to town to buy something, she immediately said happily, "Your Majesty, can I go to town?"
Zhu Feng said with a straight face, "Come back quickly after you buy it."
"yes!"
"Also," Zhu Feng added, "Call your friend and ask her to accompany you."
"Oh, okay!"
She was so happy that she almost jumped up, and Ye Zheng finally understood that the emperor wanted to make him a scapegoat.
I don't know yet whether this money can be reimbursed.
With a bitter face, she was about to reach into her bosom to touch the purse, but Nan Yan had already said with a smile: "No need, Your Majesty, this servant has her own money, let Master Ye keep it."
When Ye Zheng heard this, he immediately retracted his hand.
