As soon as Gu Yan got off his horse at the gate, the steward on duty hurriedly came out to welcome him, lowering his hand and reporting: "Go back to the Master, Miss Shi is waiting for you in Wanqiu Pavilion inside the second gate. If she has anything to say to you." p>
Gu Yan frowned slightly, "What happened?"
"Young man, I don't know here." The steward pointed to another steward who was waiting behind him, waiting to report something, "Young man just took over from Steward Cui."
Gu Yan looked at Manager Cui.
Manager Cui hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his hand to report: "Back to the Crown Prince, an hour and a half ago, Liu Fuyin of Pingjiang Prefecture came to see the Crown Prince. I heard from the younger brother that he didn't know when the Crown Prince would come back, so Liu Fuyin left a message.
:Kunshan County Magistrate Huang Xianzhou has been ordered to go to the Customs and Excise Department to assist in the investigation.
"When Liu Fuyin left, he happened to welcome the second wife and the girls back home. The second wife and Miss Shi asked Liu Fuyin what happened..."
Manager Cui reported the conversation at the gate to Gu Yan in detail.
Gu Yan said lightly, went up the steps, and went straight to Wanqiu Pavilion.
In the Wanqiu Pavilion, Mrs. Shi was leaning on a goose-neck chair, her pink neck slightly lowered, reading a book. There were two girls standing next to Mrs. Shi on the left and right of the door. When they saw Gu Yan, they lowered their eyes and bent their knees.<
/p>
Gu Yan went up the steps and stood at the door of Wanqiu Pavilion. He cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Sister, are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Mrs. Shi stood up, bent her knees to see the ceremony, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, holding the book in both hands, slowly turned it around twice, and mustered up the courage to say: "I just came back from the opera with my second aunt.
I met Liu Fuyin at the door."
Gu Yan slowly swung the folding fan and looked at Mrs. Shi, waiting for her to continue.
Mrs. Shi lowered her head and was silent for a while. Then she suddenly looked up at Gu Yan and asked, "Did Kunshan County Magistrate Huang Xianzhou offend my cousin?"
"Huh?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and said, "Where do you start with this?"
"Liu Fuyin came here just to say that Kunshan County Magistrate Huang Xianzhou has gone to the Customs and Excise Department to assist with the affairs. Is he here to talk to his cousin?" Mrs. Shi looked at Gu Yan.
"You think too much about everything. I am responsible for the mission of Jiangnan Guanfeng Envoy and the transfer of a county magistrate. Of course you must inform me." Gu Yan said with a smile.
"My cousin didn't answer my question." Mrs. Shi lowered her eyes, "My cousin said he was too familiar with me, and I am too familiar with my cousin. My cousin can't deceive me."
Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly but said nothing.
"Not only did I tell my cousin about my cousin's temper, but the prince and the princess also tried to advise my cousin. With a status like my cousin's, the most important thing is to be magnanimous. When looking at local officials, what should be seen is whether he is qualified, not just what he wants.
Your temperament depends on your preference." Mrs. Shi said with lowered eyes.
"Well, what you said is very true, I need to be taught." Gu Yan bowed and handed over his hand.
Mrs. Shi raised her head and looked at Gu Yan in surprise.
According to her past experience, he would definitely have to explain and argue with her, and she would have to use her words every time to convince him. This time, he was taught before she even finished speaking?
Taking advantage of Madam Shi's confusion, Gu Yan cupped her hands and smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely keep it in my mind. Madam, thank you very much for your trouble."
Mrs. Shi stared blankly at Gu Yan who quickly walked down the steps. She stayed there for a while, then slowly walked down the steps and walked back in a daze.
Her cousin was completely different from before, and this difference made her feel uneasy and at a loss as she had never felt before.
Gu Yan took long strides, turned two corners, and suddenly stopped, looking up at a group of chirping birds on the tree.
He has always admired Shi's acumen, and he still admires him very much now.
Her advice was not wrong. He did have a bad temper before. Now that he has a good temper, she doesn't know it yet, so she still gives him the same advice as when he had a bad temper before. It's right!
But he was in a bad mood.
It was the same in the past. Her advice was correct every time, but every time he admitted his mistake and approved her advice, he would feel depressed and irritable just like now.
"Get your horses ready and go out for a walk." Gu Yan turned around and walked out.
As he hurried to the gate, Gu Yan suddenly said, "Go and call Wan Qing!"
Wan Qing was so exhausted that she ran out of the door. A guard stepped forward and clasped his hands to signal Wan Qing. Wan Qing rushed forward from the steps and stepped on the guard's hand with one foot.
He lifted her up and carried Wanqing on the horseback.
At the front of the team, Gu Yan whipped his whip and rode out.
Wan Qing didn't catch her breath until she got off the horse at the entrance of Cailian Lane.
The only person in the Li family was Sister Mei, who was sitting on the mat sewing a quilt. She looked up and saw Wan Qing, and said with a smile: "I left early in the morning and went to Wujiang County, Wuqiao Town, Wujiang County."
"Thank you." Wan Qing responded with a smile, turned around, and ran down the steps.
Sister Mei watched Wan Qing turn around and suddenly realized that every time she came to see A-nan, A-nan would explain this and that when she went out, and give another instruction so that the eldest sister would not know about it.
"Hey!" Sister Mei hurriedly stood up, put on her shoes and chased after her, but Wan Qing could no longer be seen.
"Alas!" Sister Mei slapped her forehead.
Grandma went to Wujiang County in the same car as her eldest sister!
It's okay, it's okay, Sister Mei waved her hands to comfort herself. That noble man is so noble, it's impossible that he can't be found here, and he has to find Wujiang County.
It’s okay, it’s okay! It’s definitely okay!
In the tea house, Gu Yan listened to Wan Qing's report and immediately walked out, "Go to Wujiang County."
Li Xiaonan and Li Jinzhu were riding in the car, while Ah Wu and Wang Yuting were driving back leisurely.
In the distance, the horse's hooves are rushing and smoke is rising.
A Wu immediately stood on the horse, cupped his hands on the pergola and looked far into the distance. After a while, he sat on the horse and said with excitement, "It seems to be the prince and the others, let me go and have a look!"
"Don't go! It's none of your business! What are you looking at!" Li Xiaonan stopped immediately.
"Master!" Awu glared at Li Xiaonan.
"The Crown Prince has nothing to do with you. You always get excited when you see the Crown Prince. What's the matter, why do you want to hold an official position?" Li Xiaonan said rudely.
"What's the matter with an official position and a half-job position? It's only natural and natural for you to learn martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family!" Awu said back.
"With your three-legged cat's kung fu, can it still be regarded as martial arts? You are not allowed to go!" Li Xiaonan reiterated again.
Li Jinzhu held the soles of her shoes and looked at the two of them with a smile.
During these few trips out, she had long been accustomed to the bickering between Li Xiaonan and A Wu.
"What a prince." Wang Yuting also stood on the horse and took a look, then sat down and said with a smile.
"Look, my cousin also said he was the prince!" Awu pointed at the cloud of smoke.
"I didn't say I wasn't your eldest son, I just said you're not allowed to go."
"Can you control me?" Ah Wu shook the whip vigorously.
"Yeah!" Li Xiaonan said with absolute certainty.
Ah Wu stared at Li Xiaonan and held it in for a long time before speaking, "I don't care about you."
Li Jinzhu laughed.
Within a few words, the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats was very close. Wang Yuting stepped on the stirrups and stretched his neck to look. Awu also stepped on the stirrups and stood up.
Gu Yan, who was at the forefront, stopped his galloping horse, took two steps forward, turned around, and came closer.
"Look..."
A Wu's excitement was interrupted by Gu Yan's voice, "Is it Miss Li?"
"Looking for you." Awu sat back.
Li Xiaonan stood up from the carriage. Li Jinzhu quickly inserted the needle into the sole of his shoe and stretched his head to look at Gu Yan.
"Madam." Gu Yan nodded slightly to Li Jinzhu, "Tell A-nan a few words and I will send her back."
"Oh." Li Jinzhu responded subconsciously.
The guard led the bay-red horse close to the cart. Li Xiaonan stepped on the cart and rode up on the horse. She waved to Li Jinzhu, "Don't worry, eldest sister, I can ride a horse."
"Send the lady back well." Gu Yan lit A Wu with his horse whip, gave instructions, reined in the horse, and turned to another road.
The bay-red horse followed Gu Yan's horse obediently, swung its tail and ran away.
Awu looked at the group of people who quickly walked away, sighed, and was dejected.
She always feels that she will be manipulated by this little girl like A-nan for the rest of her life!
"Sister, don't worry, it's okay, the prince is doing well." Wang Yuting looked at Li Jinzhu, who was full of worry, and comforted him.
Li Jinzhu hummed, picked up the sole, lowered his head, and picked up the sole thoughtfully.
The better the prince is, the more worried she is about A-nan.
