Chai Yan immediately raised his hands and said, "Chai Yan is relieved because of the commander's words. Don't worry, sir. Chai Yan will definitely order the mao on time tomorrow morning."
Gu Zhengbang said: "You really can't bear any loss!"
Chai Yan didn't deny it, he just smiled.
Then, Gu Zhengbang said again: "By the way, let me tell you that the Muyue State envoy has arrived in the capital and has already checked into the Muyue State Guesthouse."
Chai Yan nodded: "Counting the days, it's time to come... By the way, Mr. Gu, is their second prince's health feeling better?"
Gu Zhengbang replied: "I heard from people who came back that I have recovered a lot. Don't worry, the emperor has sent an imperial doctor there. There will be no problem."
Just after he finished speaking, Gu Zhengbang added: "Oh, I almost forgot, the person who came back also mentioned to me that the second prince of Muyue Kingdom wanted to visit you."
"Visit me?" Chai Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you visiting me?"
Gu Zhengbang said: "I heard that I want to meet you specifically to thank you. If you don't want to meet me, I will have someone refuse you."
"No, it's okay to meet you! They want to thank me, and maybe they will give me some rare treasures from the Western Regions!" Chai Yan said immediately.
Gu Zhengbang shook his head and smiled, without making any comments, he just said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to come back to you, and they will come over to invite you."
"Okay!" Chai Yan said happily.
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhengbang warned: "But you have to remember, you are not allowed to discuss the war between Muyue Kingdom and Piz Kingdom with them!"
"Why am I discussing that? It's not my business," Chai Yan said.
Gu Zhengbang said seriously: "In short, try to avoid it and don't mention it!"
"I understand, Mr. Gu." Chai Yan responded.
Gu Zhengbang nodded slowly, stood up and walked behind the desk, saying: "Okay, I've said everything I want to say, you can go back."
"Ah? It's gone?" Chai Yan was stunned.
Gu Zhengbang stood behind the desk, looked at Chai Yan and said, "What are you doing with that expression? You live right across from my house, and it's just a few steps away. Do you have to wait until I go to Wudesi tomorrow before I let you go?"
Did the National People's Congress come all the way to send you a message? You don't think it's troublesome, but I still think it's troublesome..."
Chai Yan immediately shook his head, gave a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Gu is indeed Mr. Gu. He is so considerate of his subordinates and his consciousness is so high! I admire you, I admire you!"
When Gu Zhengbang heard this, he immediately frowned and reminded him pretending to be unhappy: "Pay attention to your identity. Isn't it just Uncle An Ping? Isn't he older or younger?"
"No, no, no, please don't get me wrong, Mr. Gu, when I say I admire you, I mean it sincerely, really..." Chai Yan was instantly frightened.
Gu Zhengbang signaled: "If you have nothing to do, go back and get some rest early. We'll have some ham tomorrow morning."
Chai Yan turned around and wanted to leave, but turned back the next moment and asked with a smile: "Master Gu, there is one more thing I want to ask..."
"What do you mean by asking a little bit?" Gu Zhengbang smiled, nodded and said, "Ask me!"
Chai Yan then took a step forward and asked, "Master Gu, the emperor said that day that he would marry me and Yuanyuan in two days. Is the emperor busy with state affairs and forgetting about it?"
Gu Zhengbang raised his head and thought for a while, then said very seriously: "Yes, I have been walking around the emperor these past few days, and I haven't heard the emperor mention this matter. Could it be that he has really forgotten it?"
Chai Yan became a little anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Master Gu, can I ask you to give me a favor next time I see the emperor?"
"Are you so anxious to get married?" Gu Zhengbang asked.
Chai Yan was a little embarrassed: "It's not that I'm in a hurry, it's just...that's... Mr. Gu, you've been here too, so you should understand!"
"What do I know?" Gu Zhengbang spread his hands and asked confused.
Chai Yan couldn't tell whether Gu Zhengbang really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, so he could only bow his hands and say politely: "Master Gu, I leave this matter to you!"
Gu Zhengbang nodded, sat down slowly, picked up the pen on the pen mountain and said: "I understand, I will tell you when I see the emperor."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu. Chai Yan takes his leave and won't disturb your work!"
Chai Yan bowed quickly and then exited the study.
On the veranda not far outside the study, Gu Ling and Doudou were still waiting. When they saw Chai Yan coming out as the study door opened, they immediately greeted him.
Chai Yan walked up to the two of them and asked in a low voice: "Miss Gu, why haven't you returned to the house yet?"
Gu Ling smiled and said: "What house are you going back to? I brought you in, so naturally I have to take you out. What if you get lost?"
"I have such a good sense of direction, how could I get lost..."
As soon as Chai Yan said these words, Shangguan Peining's laughter immediately followed.
"Hahaha, I am laughing so hard that I dare to say that I have a good sense of direction and will not get lost, hahaha..."
Chai Yan secretly replied: "What do you mean?"
Shangguan Peining stopped laughing and said bluntly: "I don't know which guy he was. He got lost at Hang Baiqiu's house last time. He even broke into other people's boudoir and saw them all."
"Uh..." Chai Yan couldn't refute for a moment. It was only because it had been a long time that Chai Yan didn't think of it.
At this moment, Gu Ling's hands began to wave in front of Chai Yan's eyes, and he asked curiously: "Chai Yan, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?"
Doudou was holding a lantern and looking at Chai Yan, blinking her little eyes with confusion on her face.
Chai Yan smiled and said: "No, no, I suddenly remembered something and got a little distracted, haha..."
Gu Ling didn't ask any further questions and said, "Then I'll take you out."
"Excuse me, Miss." Chai Yan thanked him.
Then, the three of them walked towards the main entrance along the way they came.
When he was almost at the front door, Gu Ling suddenly asked: "By the way, the high priest of Jimo came to our house that day. After he went back, I heard from my father that you and Qiao Er's sister will get married soon."
"Ah, yes, that's right." Chai Yan agreed with a smile.
A smile appeared on both corners of Gu Ling's lips, and she said sincerely: "Then I wish you a long life together and will always be united!"
"Thank you, Miss Gu." Chai Yan thanked her.
After saying this, the three of them had arrived at the gate of Gu's mansion.
Doudou stepped forward and gave instructions, and the concierge opened the door. Chai Yan nodded to Gu Ling and Doudou, turned around and walked out of the house.
After the door closed again, Doudou turned around and said: "Miss, let's go back to the house..."
At this time, Doudou suddenly noticed that the smile on the young lady's face was no longer there, but instead looked a little more lost and depressed. She couldn't help but ask: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Why does your complexion suddenly look so different?"
Gu Ling shook her head hurriedly, pulled herself together and said, "Really? It might be because the weather was too cold at night, and I stayed there for a long time..."
Doudou was afraid that the lady would catch the cold, so she quickly said: "Miss, we are going back to the house now, we can't catch the cold."
After saying that, Doudou lit up the lantern and urged Gu Ling to go to his house.
A night of silence.
At dawn the next day, Chai Yan got up. After all, he promised Gu Zhengbang last night that he would go to Wude Si for dianmao this morning. He couldn't break his promise!
With the help of Xiaohuan, I got dressed and went out of the inner courtyard. I saw that the five Ge Hong brothers had also gotten up. Everyone was busy, chopping firewood, carrying water, and packing things. Anyway, there was nothing. When one was idle, Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun also joined in, creating a fiery scene.
"Morning, sir!"
"Morning, sir."
Ge Hong and Cheng Jiuwu immediately asked Chai Yan about his morning.
Chai Yan laughed and said to himself: "I thought I was the earliest to get up and the most diligent, but it turned out that I was the laziest!"
When Aunt Yun saw Chai Yan coming out, she immediately put down what she was doing and said loudly: "Master, breakfast is ready. I will bring it to you right now."
While talking, Aunt Yun had disappeared.
Chai Yan said to Ge Hong: "Lao Ge, please stay at home these two days. Someone from the Ministry of Revenue will come to see you about naturalization..."
"I understand, sir, we are not going anywhere at home, we are just waiting at home." Ge Hong agreed.
"Okay, then you can get busy."
After Chai Yan finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen.
Halfway through, I met Aunt Yun who was bringing steamed buns and rice porridge.
Aunt Yun said: "Master, why are you here? You go and sit in the hall."
"It's too late, I'll eat while walking!"
With that said, Chai Yan stepped forward, grabbed a few buns, and hurried to the gate.
On the way to Wudesi, Chaiyan gnawed on the meat buns in his hand as he walked. For a few dazed moments, he suddenly missed the days before he traveled through time. He hurried out every morning for fear of being late and having his wages deducted. !
