Wei Mansion, in a pavilion.

A young boy about fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting on a stone bench, sleeping soundly on the stone table. An older boy saw him sleeping in the pavilion and hurriedly stepped forward to wake him up.

"Fugui, don't sleep now. Get up and do things quickly. Otherwise, if the manager sees you, you will be scolded."

Fugui slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw his friend Aji. He was confused for a moment. After looking around, he found that he was in a pavilion. He was even more confused. How could he wake up in the pavilion?

By the way, he seemed to have seen a man in black last night, and then he fell unconscious, and now he woke up in the pavilion. But if he really met a bad person, he would definitely be dead. Could it be that he was dreaming last night? Already? But he clearly remembered that he found that the purse Xiaolian gave him was lost last night, and he went out to look for it all night.

Seeing that he was looking at her in a daze, Aji asked, "Why are you dazed? Did you commit a thief last night? Are you so sleepy? You lie down in the pavilion and sleep like a pig."

Fugui asked hesitantly: "Is it...possible that I really met a thief last night? And then the thief put me in the pavilion to sleep?"

Aji smiled and said: "If you met a thief, would you still be alive? The thief would have killed you long ago. Besides, there was no movement in the house last night. Where could the thief come from? Okay, stop rambling and wake up. If you do, work quickly, otherwise if the manager sees you cheating, he will not only get scolded, but your monthly salary may also be deducted."

After hearing this, Fugui also felt that he might have been dreaming last night. He was probably too sleepy when he went out to look for his wallet last night, so he went to the pavilion and fell asleep on his stomach. After sleeping all night, he had another dream about the bad guy.

After a moment, Fugui asked: "By the way, did you see a purse made of blue fabric?"

Aji said truthfully: "No, what's wrong?"

Fugui shook his head, and then couldn't help but recall carefully. He clearly didn't go to the pavilion last night, but he woke up in the pavilion. Was this a dream or what?

Aji said hurriedly: "Get ready to work quickly, the steward is coming this way."

When Fugui heard this, he quickly put this strange thing behind him and went to work first. He would think about what seemed like a dream last night later.

This time, Mr. Wei went to the Gu Mansion again to visit Gu Jingxi, in order to find out when Gu Jingxi would return to Beijing. He always felt uneasy when Gu Jingxi was in Huzhou.

But he didn't bring Mei Qingyun with him this time, so as not to see the old lovers flirting and embarrassing himself. Besides, Mei Qingyun knew too much. If she suddenly went crazy and let something out, the consequences would be serious.

At first, Gu Jingxi thought he knew something and had already thought of countermeasures and words to deal with it. However, after meeting him, he found that he knew nothing and was just asking about when he would return to Beijing.

In this case, Gu Jingxi said: "I originally went back to Beijing a few days ago, but unfortunately I fell ill. Now I am fine. I will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

After hearing this, Mr. Wei felt happy, but he said on the surface: "It is rare for Lord Gu to return to Huzhou and he is ill again. Why don't you stay for a few more days to recuperate? I heard that there will be an assessment for the students in the academy a few days ago. I would also like to invite Mr. Gu to go and see it together."

Gu Jingxi said regretfully: "That's a pity. The capital is busy with official duties, so I came back on leave to worship my ancestors this time. I can't stay for a long time. Now that I'm in good health, it's time to return to the capital."

Afterwards, Mr. Wei chatted with Gu Jingxi for a while before leaving with satisfaction. As long as Gu Jingxi returns to Beijing, he will feel at ease. Otherwise, he will always be worried. These days, he feels like a sharp sword is hanging over his head. .

After Mr. Wei left, Yu Chuan immediately went to find his master and asked about what happened last night: "Master Hou, did Mr. Wei know what happened last night? He found that the account books and those letters were missing, so he came to see you now. Snooping around?"

Gu Jingxi said quietly: "No, he just wants to know when we will return to Beijing. It seems that he doesn't know what happened last night. The boy probably didn't remember seeing you last night."

Hearing this, Yu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Fortunately, I was quick to act. Otherwise, by the time he reacts, he will definitely think of it when he wakes up today and tell Mr. Wei what will happen."

Gu Jingxi said: "But we can't take it lightly. Go back and make preparations. We will set off back to Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Yu Chuan nodded hurriedly: "I understand, little one."

Butler Liu originally thought that the Marquis would stay for a few more days. After all, the Marquis was so seriously ill two days ago and had a high fever and fell into a coma. He had to rest for a while before setting off to return to Beijing. Unexpectedly, he said today that he would be leaving tomorrow. Set off.

Butler Liu quickly followed the list given by the Marquis and asked people to prepare the things his wife likes to eat in advance, such as fruits, snacks, and various snacks with Huzhou characteristics, and take them with him to eat on the road.

Meng Jinyao also told the maid to pack her bags. They didn't bring much when they came to Huzhou, but they brought a lot when they returned to Beijing, including new things she liked and gifts for relatives and friends.

Seeing Gu Jingxi coming back from the front yard, Meng Jinyao stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Husband, how are you? He came to see you suddenly. Did he find anything?"

Gu Jingxi shook his head gently: "No, I haven't found it yet, but I guess I will find it soon. This kind of ledger is reconciled once a month, and it's nearing the end of the month."

Meng Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. By the time he finds out, we will all be on our way back to Beijing."

Gu Jingxi asked in a warm voice: "Ayao, we are going back to Beijing tomorrow. Do you want to go shopping today? If you see something you like, buy it back. I don't know when the next time I go back to my hometown will be."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao immediately responded: "Okay, that's what I meant."

"Then let's go now. We've already asked the driver to hitch up the carriage. We're just waiting for Madam's order to set off." After Gu Jingxi said that, he reached out to hold her hand, holding the little hand in his palm and looking at her tenderly. .

Meng Jinyao was astonished: "My husband has already been prepared? If I don't go, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Gu Jingxi smiled: "Since it was my suggestion, we must make arrangements first. If you don't go, there is no loss. We can do other things at home to entertain our time."

After Meng Jinyao heard this, the corners of her mouth also turned up. In the past, Aning always said that the truth can be seen in the subtleties. Whether a man cares about you can be seen in some trivial things. Now this is the case with her husband. There is no excitement between them, but The affection is in the details.

Originally, Meng Jinyao just wanted to go out for a walk, but after going out, all the money was spent on Gu Jingxi, and most of the things were bought for him.

There was no other reason. Just looking at his face, I wanted to dress him up, buy him hostas, accessories, and shoes, and then drag him to a clothing store to continue buying.
