Xie Zhaozhao listened quietly to Yuanyuan's report, wrote a note, and whispered to Yuanyuan: "Find a way to throw this on the road that adults must pass by, and don't let anyone suspect you."

The first day of December.

There is a teahouse ten feet away from the south gate into the city.

Early in the morning, the Chief Censor Yu, with his goatee pouting, came to this place where usually only peddlers drank tea to drink tea.

He sat by the window with his back to the stairs to the second floor.

From this position, one can see clearly the area within a hundred feet in front and behind the entrance of the South City Gate, but it is not easy for others to see it clearly.

He picked up a letter at home saying that Prince Gu was committing adultery with someone outside and asked him to catch him here.

The Censor-in-Chief has the obligation to monitor the words and deeds of all officials.

In the heavy snow, a carriage came towards the south gate of Kyoto.

The city gate supervisor said, "Stop the car and check it."

The car curtain opened, revealing a face full of fatigue.

"Madam Butcher," Ping An, who had been guarding the city gate, said excitedly when he saw her, "The prince has been waiting for you."

After he finished speaking, he ran to the teahouse not far away and waved towards the second floor.

Gu Chengyan saw Ping An waving from upstairs and went downstairs immediately.

He hurried down to the city gate and greeted the gatekeeper: "This is my cousin."

The city gate guards are all experienced people. Their superiors have trained them on how to behave in a powerful and wealthy manner to prevent them from offending important people and suffering the consequences.

Although Gu Chengyan is not a powerful person, he has a powerful third uncle, so the gatekeepers also recognize this face.

Wave and let go.

Guan Yingying looked at Gu Chengyan. He was wearing a green fox fur coat and his hair was tied up in a bun with a white jade crown. He had a ruddy complexion, affectionate eyes, and was gentle and elegant.

Although the construction of the Grand Canal was difficult, it was the imperial court that was in trouble, not him. The climate and soil of the south made him handsome and elegant.

Guan Yingying's eyes suddenly became blurred with tears.

Her skin was no longer as fair and tender as before, but much rougher. The sun in Nanzhao Kingdom tanned her more than a little. If her behavior had not been the same as before, Gu Chengyan would have suspected that he had picked up the wrong person.

Even though they kept their distance on the street, Gu Chengyan couldn't help but hold her hand. Both of them had tears in their eyes. Even if they said they were not in that kind of relationship, no one would believe them.

The curtains were lowered again, and the two carriages, one in front and one behind, returned to Tianhou Lane in South City.

Lord Yu saw this and sneered. Even though Gu Chengyan was only a small seventh-rank official, he was also an official of the imperial court of Daqian. More importantly, he was Gu Shaoyu's nephew!

Such behavior is truly shameful!

Guan Yingying passed away during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now it is covered with snow everywhere. Four months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Returning to South City, it felt like a different world.

This time, Guan Yingying brought back two maids, two sisters who were fleeing famine and whom she picked up on the way. They were originally named Da Ya and Er Ya, but she thought they sounded too rustic, so she changed their names to Nian Ke and Yan Ke.

The two sisters were diligent and immediately swept the yard. They pointed to a box of half-new toys in the corner and asked, "Madam, are these still useful?"

"Don't touch them!" Seeing those toys, Guan Yingying choked up and said, "Baibai, do you miss your mother?"

"Don't cry, I'll pick him up later and we'll be reunited as a family of three!" After entering the yard, Gu Chengyan immediately hugged her from behind, lovingly and tenderly, "Qianyue!"

Guan Yingying quickly turned over, rushed forward with a cry, hugged Gu Chengyan's neck, and started crying.

"I miss you guys so much..."

"Me too. After receiving your letter, I came back early. I didn't even go back to the Marquis' Mansion. I stayed here waiting for you."

Although she was wearing thick clothes in winter, Gu Chengyan felt that she had lost a lot of weight and was very light.

"Why are you so thin?" Gu Chengyan said distressedly, "Don't go out anymore, just stay at home, I can support you."

The two of them hugged each other without hesitation and kissed passionately. Nian Ke and Yan Ke had never seen such a scene before and were stunned on the spot.

Oh my god, are city people so good at having fun?

Nian Ke was the elder sister. She reacted first and quickly pulled her silly sister to hide in the west room.

"Sister... um..."

There was no floor heating in the yard in Nancheng, and they didn't even have time to light a brazier. The two of them were so cold that goose bumps appeared all over the floor, but nothing could stop them from exploring happiness.

The swallows fly south and the wild geese fly north, the bed curtains sway in a different spring. The alleys of the south city are a place of beauty, and cats and dogs are happy to meet again.

There was just someone eavesdropping.

As soon as Guan Yingying returned to South City, Xiaoxin knew it immediately.

Open the listening app immediately.

Xiao Xin, who was already used to the two people's strong fighting ability, said in confusion while listening: "Why is it so short today? It's over in less than half an hour!"

After the two men finished their work, they lay in bed and talked about their experiences over the past four months.

Gu Chengyan was heartbroken when he heard that the 70,000 dan of grain, more than 800 kilograms of candles, and more than 500 kilograms of elixir that she had managed to obtain through traveling back and forth between Daqian and Nanzhao had all been stolen.

He gave all the 20,000 taels of silver he earned from the first batch of grain to Guan Yingying and took them to Nanzhao Kingdom, but now it's all gone to waste.

"Your coming back safely is better than anything else." Alas, if I had known this a quarter of an hour ago, my second brother's charge into battle would have been affected.

"Thank you, Chengyan, I didn't make a mistake in choosing you!" Guan Yingying heard that he was still affectionate, so she put on her clothes and got out of bed.

"Chengyan, come and see - this is the recipe for the universal elixir."

After being robbed twice, she learned her lesson and changed her route, only bringing the elixir without food. Finally, she succeeded in bringing back several boxes of the elixir paste formula.

Guan Yingying said proudly: "Even the Nanzhao Kingdom doesn't know that there is a very simple method to make cooked food. Look at what I have done."

She showed him a pack of fermented and cut Panacea.

Golden yellow, amber-like, with a strong fruity sweetness.

“If you use a good packaging box and tell the prince that this is a recipe for a pill that can nourish the kidneys and strengthen the bones, he will definitely use it. As long as he uses it once, he will like it. After using it twice, he will be addicted.”

Gu Chengyan could not appreciate its miraculous effects, but he believed in Guan Yingying.

With so much to say, how could he finish it right away? Gu Chengyan said, "Take a rest first. I'll take Yuebai with me tomorrow and we'll go shopping together. It's New Year's Eve, so I'll take you to Boyi Pavilion to buy some fine jewelry."

Will the family of three go shopping tomorrow morning?

Xiaoxin immediately ran back to his residence and released a robin.
