At this time, Nangong Ye and the others had almost arrived in Yongdu.
If Gu Qiqi wanted to catch up with them, he could only meet them in Yongdu.
After all, they can get there in two or three days at most.
Even if Gu Qiqi chased him on horseback, it would take almost two or three days.
So three days later, Nangong Ye and the others arrived at Yongdu in the morning, and Gu Qiqi also arrived in the evening.
Fortunately, everyone rushed back to Yongdu before the envoy from the Southern Kingdom.
Nangong Yi, who was in the palace, was very excited when he learned that his third brother and fourth sister were back.
I wanted to summon them to the palace right away, but then I thought about it and thought it was getting late. Besides, Third Brother and Fourth Sister had a hard time traveling. It will be the same when we meet tomorrow.
So Nangong Yi could only stay up late and wait.
Fortunately, Nangong Yi didn't summon him that day, otherwise Gu Qiqi would have refused.
In order to catch up with Nangong Ye and the others these days, Gu Qiqi rode on horseback day and night. After returning to Yongdu, her whole body was dirty. She felt so uncomfortable that she just wanted to wash up and change into clean and refreshing clothes.

At this time, in Yongdu City, in a large courtyard with three entrances, Gu Qiqi's family lived.
Since Gu Bei had resigned and returned to his hometown more than ten years ago, the General's Mansion had long been handed over to the Emperor.
So now they can only live in another courtyard when they return to Yongdu. The courtyard they currently live in was purchased by Gu Qiqi with Shan Lin's help before coming to Yongdu.
The manpower and other things inside have been arranged. This time Gu Qiqi and his family only need to move their luggage and move in.
"Li Xia, I don't need you to take care of me here. You're not much better. You should go back to the house quickly to wash up and change into clean clothes."
Lixia replied: "It doesn't matter. I'll wait for the girl to wash her first. It won't be too late to wash her later."
Seeing Li Xia's refusal, Gu Qiqi still tried hard to send her away.
"I'm soaking in the water now, so I don't need you to worry about it. Besides, haven't you prepared everything here? I can do it myself. You go and wash it off. Once you've finished washing it, it's time to have dinner.
"
Li Xia: "Well, if that girl needs anything, just call me. I'll be in the next room."
Gu Qiqi nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead. You don't need to worry about me here."
Then Li Xia left Gu Qiqi's room and went to the side room.
There are four small courtyards in the large courtyard of the third courtyard. In addition to the front courtyard, each small courtyard has three large rooms and four wing rooms, and thatched rooms are also equipped.
Generally, the main room of a large room is for the main owner, and the side rooms on both sides are reserved for guests.
The wing room is for the servants to live in or to store sundries.
As for the kitchen, it is usually built on both sides of the front yard, with a separate kitchen yard.
In addition to the house where the main owner lives and the wing room, the front yard also contains a dining room, living room, etc.
So the front yard is the largest yard in the whole house.
Gu Qiqi bought this house, and the front yard was for Gu Bei and his wife to live in. She and Fang Yu lived in Beiyuan, and Mr. Qi and his wife lived in Nanyuan.
There is also a Xiyuan that is temporarily vacant, which is prepared for her unborn brother.
It's such a big house, but it's quite comfortable to live like this.
In this way, each can have their own freedom, but still live together.
After Gu Qiqi waited for Li Xia to leave, she quickly got out of the bucket and replaced the dirty water in the bucket with the clean spiritual spring water in the space.
Because I haven't washed my hair or bathed in a few days, I washed it in a basin of water and the water turned black.
Gu Qiqi took Li Xia away just because he wanted to get another bucket of clean water to wash, and the saved washing would be in vain.
You can replace it with clean spring water and soap.
Gu Qiqi lay in the bathtub. Under the soaking of the spiritual spring water, all the dirt on her skin was automatically washed out. She did not need to rub it manually. Slowly, the melanin and dirt were washed out.
When Gu Qiqi came out of the water, she was a fair and beautiful girl again.
After putting on clean and refreshing clothes, I felt much more relaxed and refreshed.
After coming out of the room, Li Xia was still taking a bath in her room. Gu Qiqi made a pot of fruit tea in the pavilion of the small courtyard, then picked two bunches of grapes from the space and ate them.
When Lixia came out, her hair happened to be dry. Lixia quickly put her hair into a bun.
After traveling to ancient times, Gu Qiqi still likes to use ancient things.
For example, those who wash their hair in Dayong use pure plants.
In the past, when we were relatively poor in rural areas, we would go to the mountains to pick saponins.
Dry the picked soap locust, grind it into powder and store it. Use a little bit when washing your hair to make your hair clean.
If you don’t have saponin powder at home, use rice water plus plant ash.
The all-purpose plant ash can be used for anything in the countryside.
You can use it to wash dishes, wash your hair, and even use it to prevent insects, repel insects, and topdress crops.
But now that Gu Qiqi and the others are better off and have money, they can buy tea cakes or soap.
The hair after washing it with cha Ku cake or soap is of particularly good quality, unlike in this world where the ends of the hair often turn yellow and have split ends.
Ancient times still have their benefits.
Don’t worry about whatever you use or eat.
You never have to worry about pollution, let alone technology and hard work.
It really focuses on a product that you can eat with confidence and use with peace of mind.
When Lixia put Gu Qiqi's hair up, Fang Yu came over and asked them to have dinner in the front yard.
A few people walked to the front yard.
Just as he arrived in the front yard, Gu Qiqi saw Nangong Ye's figure.
"Why are you here?" Gu Qiqi asked with a puzzled look.
Nangong Ye replied: "I'll come over and tell you that our sixth brother wants us to enter the palace early tomorrow morning."
Gu Qiqi nodded: "Oh, I understand, have you eaten? Why don't you stay and eat some."
Nangong Ye also nodded and said, "Okay."
Fang Yu on the side saw through it without saying anything. This third brother obviously came here to have some food. Of course, the main reason was to come and see Qiqi.
If it were such a small matter, it would be fine if Chang Wu or Chang Ning came over to convey it.
"Are we the only two entering the palace tomorrow?" Gu Qiqi asked again at the dinner table.
"No, Xiaoyu, the eldest brother and the second brother will all be together. We brothers will get together and discuss matters in the South Kingdom."
Gu Qiqi nodded to express his understanding.
Afterwards, the two of them chatted about the restaurant.
Gu Qiqi doesn't have time to worry about the restaurant at the moment, and besides, the restaurant is doing pretty well now.
As for whether to add other elements to it, we have to wait until Gu Qiqi is free.
After dinner, Nangong Ye was about to return to Prince Pingyang's Mansion, but Gu Qiqi stopped him.
"Wait a minute, I'll get you some mosquito repellent potion." After Gu Qiqi finished speaking, he said to the housekeeper in the courtyard: "Uncle Liu, go to the warehouse and get a few bottles of mosquito repellent potion for King Pingyang. The other small bottle
Also get a few bottles of grass ointment and some mosquito coils."
