Chapter 21 Returning to the House

Chu Yi's long and thick eyelashes moved slightly, and a few pale golden lights on the tip of the eyelashes trembled, flickering, and there was a trace of interest in his black eyes.

"The fire shop is here!"

A burst of deafening cheers resounded through the entire street, and the officers and soldiers of the fire shop finally arrived belatedly, and worked together with the government officials to put out the fire.

Gu Yanfei didn't care about these.

After finishing her work, she returned directly to Gu's house on Hua'an Street.

Juanbi was waiting for her at the back door, heaved a sigh of relief when she came back, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

Now this house is completely under Gu Yanfei's control, and the servants dare not speak up at all, so no matter whether she leaves or returns, no one else is disturbed.

Gu's house was quiet, and everyone in the mansion knew nothing about the leak of the Danyang government office.

This night, for some people, is very long and tormented, for some people, it is fleeting, and it is just a matter of sleeping.

Early the next morning, various rumors bombarded Gu's house:

For example, the Nanyue people openly poisoned and murdered the eldest prince, and even set fire to the Danyang government office;

For example, the eldest prince Jiren has his own celestial appearance and is safe and sound;

For example, more than half of the Danyang government office was burned, and the fire finally did not spread to other nearby houses;

For example, the group of South Vietnamese who set the fire was instigated by a South Vietnamese official, and the government has captured most of them. Unfortunately, it is not sure whether the South Vietnamese official was captured.

These news can be described as appalling, and the entire Gu family was dumbfounded.

For the next few days, the people in the city were discussing this matter in full swing. Every time they saw the Danyang government office that had been burned to the ground, they would feel lingering fear. They couldn't imagine that if the fire spread to the whole city, They are afraid that they will be doomed.

Yue people are really despicable and shameless!

On October 15th, today's emperor sent hundreds of royal guards and imperial troops to Danyang City to escort the eldest prince back to the capital, with great momentum.

It wasn't until October 16th that Mrs. Gu got the news that the city gate finally opened again.

Mrs. Gu was forced to stay in Danyang City for six more days, and she didn't want to stay any longer, so she immediately ordered to leave on the same day, for fear that things would change if it was too late.

As a result, all the servants of Gu's house took action, arranging carriages, packing boxes, and dealing with favors.

After half an hour, the four carriages of the Gu family drove out from the north gate of Danyang City in a row, and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen sat in the second carriage together, and the little milk cat naturally accompanied them, and the two of them talked and laughed together, having a good time.

Along the way, Gu Yunzhen told Gu Yanfei a lot about the Hou's mansion, the layout of the Hou's mansion, the five-room people living in the Hou's mansion, several important stewards and nuns in the Hou's mansion, and also mentioned When it comes to some in-laws in the Gu clan... Bits and pieces, meticulous and thoughtful.

Gu Yanfei naturally knew all these things, but she still listened patiently. She knew that Gu Yun really had good intentions, and many distant memories gradually became clear because of Gu Yunzhen's narration.

Mrs. Gu had something hidden in her heart, and she couldn't wait to return to Beijing, so she changed the leisurely way when she came here, and ordered the driver to hurry up and drive slowly all the way. Finally, the group arrived in the capital a day earlier than the journey.

Mrs. Gu is in her early fifties, and she is not young. The exhausting journey has made her exhausted.

Even so, the first thing she did when she returned to the Hou Mansion was not to rest, but to bring Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen to the Cihe Hall.

"Grandma, you are back!"

The girl in a crimson dress stepped out lightly to greet Mrs. Gu.

The girl has bright eyes and bright teeth, her smile is as bright as the rising sun, and her eyes are shining brightly like a flower flowing out of the sky.

Gu Yanfei recognized Gu Yunxie at a glance, that familiar face spanned two hundred years in an instant...

For a moment, Gu Yanfei felt that the two hundred years in the Yaoling world seemed to be just a dream of hers, just like Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly.

Gu Yanfei tried his best to suppress the demons in his heart and wake himself up.

The whole Cihe Hall became lively with Mrs. Tai's return.

After the maids were busy, they served tea, melon and fruit snacks, and specially lit Mrs. Gu's favorite incense, which had a little bit of herbal fragrance.

"Grandmother, are you tired from this trip to Danyang City?" Gu Yunxie took Mrs. Gu's arm affectionately, coaxing her with a smile, "I think you've lost weight, I'll cook for you tonight. vegetable……"

She smiled brightly, a pair of small dimples appeared on her lips, she was smart and amiable.

For Mrs. Gu, Gu Yunxie is her caring little padded jacket. After hearing these words of concern, Mrs. Gu's complexion softened a little, and she smiled and said, "Then grandma is waiting to taste your handicraft."

Speaking of it, her sister Xi should only be a month or two older than that wild girl, but she is caring and sensible.

Hey, back then, it was the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter who made the decision to be married to Fang Mingfeng, but now she can only wrong Gu Yunxie to be her younger sister.

After everyone sat down, Gu Yunxie stretched his eyes and looked around for half a circle, then nodded to Gu Yunzhen first: "Big sister, it's hard work for you to accompany grandma this time."

Then, she looked at Gu Yanfei who was sitting next to Gu Yunzhen, and the corner of her lips curled up: "This is the second sister, I'm Yunxie."

She seems to be born with long sleeves and good at dancing, and she is affectionate with everyone.

Gu Yanfei didn't say a word, and caressed the little milk cat's smooth back with one hand. The little milk cat slept soundly in her arms, and the round cat's head was completely buried in it, motionless.

I don't know the etiquette! Mrs. Gu squinted at Gu Yanfei, with a bit of displeasure in her eyes.

This girl's heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper. She has been playing petty temper these days, probably just to compete with her sister Xie for the limelight.

Seeing that the atmosphere was slightly tense, Nanny Li from Cihetang smiled, her round face was slit into slits, and she smoothed things over at Gu Yunxie: "Miss San, there will be one more sister who loves you from now on." .”

"It's a good feeling!" The smile on Gu Yunxi's lips deepened, and the sun was shining brightly.

Mrs. Gu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then she said to Gu Yanfei in a neutral manner: "Second girl, since you have arrived in the capital, you must abide by the rules of the Marquis Mansion."

"In the future, don't go out if you have nothing to do, and make some female celebrities at home."

"In a few days, the British government will come to order a small order. After a while, I will ask you to give you the size of Fang Shizi, and you can make a set of clothes and shoes and socks."

Mrs. Gu spoke in an orderly tone, her appearance was calm, but she was actually very anxious.

Now that the eldest prince has arrived in the capital, the situation in the capital will definitely change. Some courtiers may stand on the side of the eldest prince for the sake of so-called orthodoxy. Then, King Kang's position will not be so stable.

The queen mother will definitely strive for all the power she can for King Kang, and marriage is one of the most effective ways.

But today's Dingyuan Hou Mansion is not good enough for the Empress Dowager.

Mrs. Gu still has this self-knowledge.

For the Hou Mansion, the most important thing now is to take advantage of King Kang's deep affection for Gu Yunmai to quickly settle the two's marriage, so she has to settle the marriage between Gu and Fang first.
