Chapter 491 492. Entering the Back Office
Jin Qianqian looked frightened, "Then why don't you just forget it? It's so clean and white, and it's more pleasing to the eye.
If you really get tanned, I'll probably only see your eyes and teeth when you wake up at night, which is a bit scary."
Gu Wenheng was amused by her and reached out to touch her, "It's great, our family is together again."
Li Qiu on the side lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
Jin Qianqian: "Yes, that's great.
However, the traffic at that time was really annoying. Even if you had prepared well beforehand, it was still very tiring to get here.
When you came here, the journey was more difficult, right? "
Gu Wenheng, "It's all in the past, and it's only for a short period of time, everything will be fine in the future.
Did you have a smooth journey? You set out at the beginning of spring, so you should have arrived some time ago. How come it took you only a few days now?"
"Before, we couldn't find a direct escort team. Because of the surge in orders from Prince Bai after the New Year, the escort agency was too busy to handle it. The escort team that had originally agreed to come had to find another route.
I had no choice but to transfer the convoy a few times, which delayed me a bit."
At this moment, Gu Wenheng finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the air for the past few days. As long as he could arrive safely, the twists and turns involved were not that important.
Watching the convoy enter the city gate, the officers and soldiers guarding the city wall began to discuss.
"I wonder who is Master Gu's man? I saw him riding a horse and rushing to greet us."
"It must be a family member. I just wonder who is sitting in the carriage to be so valued by the Lord?"
"I think it should be an elder, maybe Mr. Gu's parents?"
"Maybe it's a concubine. I wonder if she's the mistress of the house or a concubine?"
"Don't let your imagination run wild here. Don't you know that he has sent people to guard here every day these days? Is he waiting for his wife?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Madam Ru is also a madam."
Some people started laughing, and some others stood up to refute.
Gu Wenheng and the others had no idea about all this. At this moment, he was lifting the curtain and quietly introducing the culture of Lu City to Jin Qianqian.
Jin Qianqian looked at the busy streets and said, "It's not as scary as what people say outside. Look at everyone's smiling faces."
Especially with so many vendors on the side, it is hard to imagine that this is a border town full of war.
Gu Wenheng had a smug look on his face. "It wasn't like this before we came. It's all changed slowly with our efforts."
Jin Qianqian gave him a thumbs up and said, "My husband is really capable."
"Look over there. Even though it's just an inconspicuous alley, there are several wealthy families living in it."
Jin Qianqian looked in the direction where he pointed and discovered that there was probably only enough space for two carriages to pass each other.
"That's really interesting. What's the story behind this?"
Gu Wenheng: "They installed two solid doors at that location. At night, they would close the alley tightly and not allow anyone to enter or leave."
Jin Qianqian: "...It seems that the people here are not living a happy life."
Gu Wenheng touched the child silently. In their back hall, they had also installed such a gate in the long and narrow passage, just for the purpose of allowing them to sleep more peacefully at night.
The distance to the government office was not far, and the carriage stopped in less than a quarter of an hour.
Gu Wenheng was the first to lift the curtain and get off the carriage, ready to take the child from Jin Qianqian.
As soon as Gu Bencan saw that it was him, he immediately turned around and leaned tightly on Jin Qianqian's shoulder.
Jin Qianqian patted the koala's butt in amusement and carried him out of the carriage skillfully.
"Go to the back and hug Luo Luo. I wonder if he is asleep at this hour?"
Just as Gu Wenheng was about to turn around, he saw several maids walking towards him, carefully protecting Gu Benluo.
Gu Benluo blinked his cute big eyes and looked at Gu Wenheng, a little uncertain, "Dad?"
When Gu Wenheng heard that his son still remembered him, he immediately walked over, laughed and lifted him up into his arms, "Lolo, do you miss your dad?"
Gu Benluo stretched out his little index finger and carefully touched his face, "It's really Dad."
Gu Wenheng held the child in his arms and shook him, "Yes, he is your real father. How is he? Do you miss him?"
Gu Benluo immediately hugged his neck tightly and said, "I missed you, Dad. I have been looking for you for a long time.
Mother always lied to me, saying she would bring me to see you, but it took many days for her to bring me here. "
Jin Qianqian was originally looking at the place where she would live in the future. After hearing this, she turned around and smiled, "Mom didn't lie to you. Your dad ran too far this time, so it took us three people a lot of effort to catch up with him.
Master Gu, now that we are here, won't you invite us in?"
Gu Wenheng held Gu Benluo in his arms, walked over and held Jin Qianqian's hand, "Madam, please come this way."
Gu Wenheng led the group into the inner courtyard. This compact three-story house didn't look very big, but the buildings were quite spacious.
The front and back yards have shrunk severely.
"Mom, how many days will we stay here?" Gu Benluo thought this was another temporary residence like the previous one, so he asked casually.
Gu Wenheng, "Then you'll have to stay for a while."
Jin Qianqian: "That depends on your father."
"Ah, ah, ah,"
Gu Benluo: "..." What are you all talking about? Why don’t I understand?
Gu Wenheng led them to their main courtyard. The place was quite big, but the furnishings inside were a bit too shabby.
I still remember that the bedding on the kang was prepared by her in advance, and there was only a simple set of tea sets on the table, nothing else.
"It's a bit crude," Gu Wenheng touched his nose, "I wanted to prepare it in advance, but who knew there were so many things going on these days? I didn't have time."
As for asking Mingfeng to buy it, he had never thought about it at all. That boy's aesthetic taste is really not good. He just likes colorful things.
He had to endure the quilt cover he brought with him for a long time before they didn't throw him out.
He couldn't dare to imagine that if he and Qianqian's room was handed over to him, it might have a pastoral style, which was scary enough to think about.
Jin Qianqian, "It just so happens that the things I brought this time are relatively complete. I will let Lichun do some simple arrangements first, and I will slowly plan it later.
I just see that you are still wearing your official robes. Do you have any unfinished business?"
Gu Wenheng took advantage of the two children's curious gazes and quickly said, "It's just a small matter. What's more, my wife is coming, how can I not go to welcome her personally?
Let them clean up the room first, and you can take care of the child and have a good rest.
I'll go finish the things I have on hand, and I'll host a welcome party for you later in the evening."
