We're not far from the capital; it won't take more than an hour to get there by carriage.
Butler Li had been to the capital before, so he knew how to rent a house and what location to choose.
The reason for bringing Li Li along this time is to mentor him. In the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will become the second steward of the Jiang family.
Butler Li went to rent a house near the examination hall, while Gu Wen returned to the Gu residence.
"Madam, the Seventh Young Master has arrived in Lai County and will be able to return to the capital in a couple of days."
"We've already arrived in Lai County, why not go straight back to Beijing?"
Madam Gu had no idea what her youngest son was up to; he was already at the doorstep, yet he wasn't in a hurry to come back.
"The eldest son of the Jiang family will be participating in next year's imperial examination, and Mr. Jiang accompanied him."
Young Master Jiang caught a cold due to his unfamiliarity with the northern climate, and the doctor said he needed to rest for two days.

"How is Seventh Young Master's health? Is he feeling unwell?"

The seventh young master said that Mr. Jiang wouldn't trouble him.
Madam Gu thought about it and agreed; the Jiang family had their own set of rules for doing things.
"You may leave now. Just do as your seventh young master instructs."
Gu Wen went downstairs to check with Butler Li to see if they had found a suitable house.
Madam Gu was thinking about the letter she received from the Northwest a few days ago, in which her husband mentioned the marriage of Xiao Qi.
She needs to think about the Jiang family's daughter.
Jiang Shuyun and her group, who were stranded in Lai County, finally set off for Beijing two days later, by which time Shao Ming had recovered.
I was in good health to begin with, it's just that the sudden cold made me not adapt for a while.
Li Li was already waiting at the city gate.
