"Ah? The General's Mansion actually helped Miss before? Miss, I didn't know about this..."
After Xiyue finished speaking, she lowered her head embarrassedly.
Lin Jiuyue did not tell Xiyue about her affairs with the General's Mansion, nor did she mention it to other villagers in Shangbei Village, including the village chief.
The villagers of Shangbei Village all know that Lin Jiuyue has a backer, but they don’t know who Lin Jiuyue’s backer is.
"Yes, Qiye also went to the border with the young master of the Gu family."
Xiyue was not a fool. When she heard Lin Jiuyue's words, she instantly understood why Lin Jiuyue had to bring so many things to the general's mansion.
"Miss, I understand. Please go to the side and rest. I will take care of these things."
Aunt Li was entertaining Aunt Gui in the yard. Lin Jiuyue went back to the house and said she was packing up her things, but in fact she was just taking things out of the space.
Now that everything that needed to be taken out had been taken out, Lin Jiuyue could rest assured and let Xiyue pack up.
"Okay, pack all these things up. Take them with you later. Don't forget anything."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she walked towards the yard, leaving Xiyue alone in the room to clean up.
Not long after, Xiyue packed up everything.
"Miss, the things have been packed."
"Miss Lin, since everything has been packed, why don't we set off now?"
Aunt Gui heard Xiyue's words and quickly said to Lin Jiuyue.
Shangbei Village is about an hour's drive from Gu's house by horse carriage. If we set off now, we can just make it in time for lunch.
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Madam Gui, why don't you wait until lunch before setting off? You've come all this way here, how can you go back on an empty stomach?"
Aunt Gui smiled and waved her hand.
"Haha, I appreciate Miss Lin's kindness. However, Madam said that if Miss Lin can arrive before lunchtime, I will let this servant take her there earlier so that Madam can see her earlier."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Since Aunt Gui has said so, let's set off now."
Although Nanny Gui kept saying that nothing was wrong, Lin Jiuyue always felt that Madam Gu had something to tell her.
If there was nothing wrong, why would they send the capable nanny by my side to pick me up from so far away?
And he was in a hurry to get me over for lunch! This was so unusual.
Hearing that Lin Jiuyue agreed to set off now, Aunt Gui nodded with a smile.
"Okay, then, Miss Lin, please follow me."
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
"Madam Gui, I'll drive the carriage."
On the way there, I could take the Gu family's carriage, but coming back would be difficult. I couldn't ask the Gu family to send someone to take me back, could I?
Even if they are willing, I would still feel embarrassed.
Nanny Gui thought for a moment before speaking.
"That's fine, too."
After loading all the things onto the carriage, Xiyue sat in the front of the carriage and drove it behind Nanny Gui.
Arriving in the town, Lin Jiuyue asked Xiyue to stop.
"Miss Lin, what's wrong?"
Aunt Gui asked doubtfully.
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Madam Gui, wait a moment. I'll get something."
The medicinal herbs and other things have been given away, so the food stored in the shop can’t be left behind, right?
Although Nanny Gui is a member of the Gu family, she is still a servant after all.
Although Lin Jiuyue's current status was not prominent, she was also a guest invited by Madam Gu. Aunt Gui did not dare to speak up to stop her.
Entering the grain shop, Lin Jiuyue asked Uncle Li to bring his men to move two bags of rice and two bags of flour produced in the space.
After everything was loaded into the car, Nanny Gui finally asked.
"Miss Lin, what are you doing?"
After being with Madam Gu for so many years, this was the first time that Madam Gui had seen someone bringing their own food when visiting.
Lin Jiuyue looked at the food loaded on the carriage and spoke.
"These grains are all high-quality grains that cannot be bought anywhere else. I will bring some to Madam Gu so that the masters of the General's Mansion can also taste them."
Although Aunt Gui had a good impression of Lin Jiuyue, she didn't quite understand why Lin Jiuyue brought her own food when visiting.
I have seen people bring gifts before, but this is the first time I have seen food as a gift.
The Gu family was personally appointed as the guardian generals of the country by the late emperor. No matter what, they would not be so poor that they even need others to send them food.
However, this is also Miss Lin's kindness. As a servant, I have no right to ask about it.
"Haha, Miss Lin is thoughtful."
After loading the food, Lin Jiuyue continued on her journey with Aunt Gui and finally arrived at the Gu family before noon.
When Mrs. Gu heard the servant report that Lin Jiuyue had arrived, she hurried out of the yard.
Lin Jiuyue greeted Mrs. Gu with a smile.
"Mrs. Gu is doing well. Jiuyue heard that Mrs. Gu wanted to see her to reminisce about the past, so she rushed over without stopping. Is Jiuyue not too late?"
Mrs. Gu stepped forward and took Lin Jiuyue's hand.
"How long has it been since you last came to visit me? If I hadn't sent someone to ask you to come over, you probably wouldn't have come."
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she smiled embarrassedly.
"What are you talking about, Madam? It hasn't been long since September last came to your house. September has really been busy lately, otherwise he would have come to bother you a long time ago."
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's answer, Mrs. Gu smiled again.
"Look at you, girl. Your little mouth is as sweet as honey. You are so charming when you talk!"
As Mrs. Gu spoke, she pulled Lin Jiuyue to sit on the stool.
"I knew you would be here by noon, right? I've already asked the servants to prepare the food, and we're just waiting for you to come and eat."
Hearing what Mrs. Gu said, Lin Jiuyue smiled a little embarrassedly.
"September feels a little embarrassed to have Madam wait for her."
Lin Jiuyue finished speaking and winked at Xiyue. Xiyue immediately understood and took the gift she had brought forward.
"Madam, this is a gift from September. It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind it."
When Mrs. Gu saw Xiyue holding a lot of boxes of various sizes, she immediately thought of the ginseng that Lin Jiuyue had given her.
"Well, you're here, but why are you bringing so many gifts? How can I feel comfortable with you like this?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"When Jiu Yue first came to the capital, Madam helped Jiu Yue and his siblings, and Jiu Yue has always remembered it in her heart. Jiu Yue knows that she can't help Madam in any way, so she had to bring some gifts here. Madam, please don't despise them."
Mrs. Gu really wanted to accept everything and say a few words of thanks.
But then he thought of how Lin Jiuyue had given him a piece of top-quality century-old ginseng, and he became hesitant again.
