The meaning of Gu Zhengbang's words was to remind Chai Yan that he could go to Jimo Mansion to meet Yuan tomorrow morning. If Jimoshu was not at home, a lot of embarrassing situations could be avoided.
Chai Yan knew in his heart that Master Gu was deliberately helping him.
After watching Gu Zhengbang enter the mansion and the door slowly close, Chai Yan took back his attention, turned around and walked towards his home.
When he arrived and stood in front of his house, Chai Yan looked up at the plaque on the door and couldn't help but sigh: "I'm finally home!"
It's been more than half a year since I left home, and I don't know what happened to Uncle Cai, Aunt Yun and Xiaokui.
After taking a deep breath, Chai Yan stepped up the steps to the door, came to the door and knocked the knocker.
"Puff, puff, puff..."
After a while, a girl's voice replied: "Who is it?"
Chai Yan recognized it immediately. It was Xiaokui's voice.
Chai Yan opened his mouth and was about to respond, but then he thought about giving Xiao Kui a surprise, so he held back his words and continued to tap the door knocker three times.
"Come, come, who is it?" Xiaokui's voice came from behind the door.
Then, the sound of the door latch being pulled was heard from behind the door, and then, the door opened...
"Who is it..." Xiaokui opened the door and appeared. The tone of her question suddenly stopped midway through.
Because the moment Xiaokui saw Chai Yan, she looked shocked and froze on the spot, as if someone had cast a restraining spell.
The Xiaokui in front of her is completely different from what she was half a year ago. Now she is taller, her skin is rosy, she looks a little fatter, and she overall feels healthier.
Chai Yan was amused by Xiaokui's reaction, and asked with a smile: "Why do you look like this? Do you think you don't recognize me?"
Xiaokui woke up with a start, and quickly shook her head happily and said: "No, no, how could I not know the young master? I just didn't expect the young master to come back at this time..."
With that said, Xiaokui quickly welcomed Chai Yan into the house, and while closing the door, she shouted loudly to the back room: "Uncle Cai, Aunt Yun, come out quickly, the young master is back, the young master is back!"
As soon as Chai Yan walked into the main hall, Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun came out to greet him. Their faces were excited and joyful, and they bowed to Chai Yan and said hello.
After saying a few simple words, Uncle Cai saw Xiaokui still looking silly and happy, so he said: "Stop being silly and hurry up and make tea for the young master!"
"Hey..." Xiaokui finally realized what she was doing and hurriedly ran to prepare tea.
Uncle Cai asked Chai Yan to sit down and said, "Master, why didn't you send a letter home in advance before you came back so that I could pick you up at the city gate?"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "What are you picking up? It's not like I don't have long legs. Besides, I was in a hurry when I came back. I went to the emperor's place as soon as I entered the city. I didn't go to pick him up..."
After saying that, Chai Yan turned around and found Aunt Yun looking at him.
So he asked: "What's wrong, Aunt Yun? Is there something wrong with me?"
Aunt Yun still wore her iconic old apron around her waist and replied with a smile: "Master, you are darker than before you left, but you are much stronger."
"Really?" Chai Yan looked at himself and asked Aunt Yun: "Then take a closer look. Compared with before, am I handsome or ugly now?"
Aunt Yun immediately laughed "hahaha" and said happily: "That's no need to say that young master, of course he has become more handsome, more handsome, hahaha..."
Chai Yan also laughed when he heard this, and Uncle Cai also laughed too, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became warm.
Soon, Xiaokui brought tea.
Chai Yan blew the tea gently and asked: "How is it? Is everything going well at home during my absence?"
Uncle Cai nodded immediately and said: "Okay, okay! Don't worry, young master, everything is fine at home and there is nothing wrong at all."
Aunt Yun and Xiaokui also nodded.
"Well, that's good." Chai Yan nodded, lowered his head and slowly drank the tea.
At this time, Uncle Cai suddenly shouted: "By the way, Cuiyun, you have to go to the market quickly to buy some meat. The young master finally came back, so we have to add vegetables tonight!"
"Yes, yes, Master, please wait, I'm going to buy groceries right now. I can buy whatever you want to eat." Aunt Yun said hurriedly.
Chai Yan said happily: "I can do it, Aunt Yun, just watch and buy it."
"Okay, young master, I'm going to buy groceries."
After saying that, Aunt Yun ran to the kitchen, picked up a vegetable basket, and went out happily.
Seeing that there was still a little time before dinner, Chai Yan wanted to catch up on his sleep, so he briefly told Uncle Cai a few words and then went to his room.
As soon as he opened the door, Chai Yan smelled a fresh and light fragrance. The room was very neat and clean, which immediately made him feel comfortable.
Chai Yan walked into the room, turned around and asked Xiao Kui behind him: "This fragrance is..."
Xiaokui replied: "Master, during the period when you are out, the slave will use incense to fumigate the house every few days. Otherwise, the smell in the house will be bad when the weather becomes damp. In case you come back,
This slave has no face to see you."
"Haha, you are quite attentive." Chai Yan nodded with satisfaction.
Xiaokui walked up to Chai Yan and asked, "Master, do you want to take a bath? I will boil water for you right now."
"Not for now, let's talk after dinner. I'm sleepy now and just want to sleep." Chai Yan felt sleepy as soon as he mentioned sleep, and couldn't help but stretch.
Seeing this, Xiaokui quickly ran into the inner room to spread the quilt for Chai Yan, and then said: "Master, please change your clothes. My servant will help you wash them."
Chai Yan took off his outer clothes, got on the bed and got into bed.
Xiaokui hurriedly said: "Master, you have to take off your inner clothes too..."
Chai Yan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said: "Well... let's talk about it later. I'm very sleepy now and have to catch up on my sleep. If there's nothing important, don't call me. Go ahead, go ahead...
.”
Xiaokui didn't dare to disturb him anymore, so she carried Chai Yan's shirt and left the room, closing the door gently with her hands and feet.
Chai Yan, who calmed down, quickly fell into a dream...
A carriage from Honglu Temple slowly stopped in front of the door.
After the car stopped, Guan Pengfei, Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, got out of the car, and then an old man carrying a medicine box also got out of the car.
The old man in the back is the imperial physician of Dasheng Tai Hospital, and was specially assigned by Liu Lang to treat Hamoda's injuries.
In fact, Guan Pengfei really didn't want to take this job, but the emperor had no choice but to appoint him and ordered him to accompany the imperial physician.
Guan Pengfei had no choice but to comfort himself by saying, "The emperor's order cannot be violated." Who said he was an official of Honglu Temple?
There were two soldiers from the Sheng Kingdom on duty at the entrance of the Pitz Hall. Guan Pengfei stepped forward and chatted with the soldiers for a few words, and one of them went in to report.
Not long after, the soldiers came out with an envoy from the Pitz Kingdom.
The envoy from the Pitz Kingdom bowed slightly to Guan Pengfei, smiled politely and said: "Master Guan, please tell the emperor on your behalf that we are very grateful to him for sending an imperial doctor, but Hamoda's injury has been treated by our own doctors.
.So, there is no need to bother Mr. Guan and the imperial doctor anymore, please go back."
After saying that, the envoy from Pitz didn't even listen to what Guan Pengfei said. He bowed slightly, turned around and walked back into the hall, leaving Guan Pengfei and the imperial doctor outside the door.
Guan Pengfei looked at the back of the person leaving angrily, and thought to himself: Why bother? Is it comfortable to put your hot face against someone's cold ass?
