For nearly half a month, Gu Nanxi hadn't seen her children.

The weather was just right and the sun was shining brightly, so Gu Nanxi decided to go see Su Yunyan's shop and see how she was doing.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw that the steps in front of the door were filled with dried fruits and fine rice, and even several copper incense burners with three incense sticks inserted in them, with misty smoke.

There are three cushions facing the gate.

Three women in winter coats are bowing in sincerity.

Gu Nanxi took a step back and couldn't help but look up at the door plaque. The four big characters "Yongchang Marquis Mansion" written in iron and silver were extremely eye-catching in the sunlight.

"I didn't travel through time! What happened?" Gu Nanxi murmured to herself. Could it be that the fashion trend in Kyoto has changed again?

It is no longer fashionable to worship at Daxiangguo Temple, but it has become fashionable to worship at Gaomen?

Are all the characters in the original novel so crazy?

Lu Mei frowned and ordered the servants, "What's the point of blocking the main entrance? Quickly clear the open space on the right side of the gate. From now on, worship will be held there. Don't block the masters of the mansion from traveling."

Gu Nanxi, who wanted to ask Lumei what happened, shut up again.

Look at Lumei's calm and unsurprised attitude. Maybe she is just seeing too much.

It's normal for a novel to have one or two strange settings.

Gu Nanxi got on the carriage with peace of mind and went to the shops near Mingde Temple.

Boat racing on the Huimin River.

On the river bank, there are hawkers coming and going along the river, young men riding horses across the bridge, and old men pushing carts and driving donkeys. It is very lively.

Under an old willow tree with tangled roots, a group of people gathered around a stall, chattering.

Gu Nanxi leaned over to look and could only see two long bamboo poles with two long banners hanging on them, which read "Fortune Telling and Doubt Solving" and "River Goddess" respectively.

Gu Nanxi let out a light sigh. The people of that time were so superstitious that even the fortune-telling stall on the river bank had a banner with the words "River Goddess" hung on it to pay homage to her.

Lumei carefully fed the selected nuts into Gu Nanxi's mouth.

As soon as you bite it with your upper and lower teeth, the aroma of nuts fills your entire mouth.

Gu Nanxi narrowed her eyes and glanced at the small coffee table, on which were three bone china plates.

One is for husks and peels, one is for slightly smaller nuts with occasional shriveled and broken nuts, and the last one is for nuts that are all full and without any broken skin.

Gu Nanxi decided to give Lumei a raise! This service attitude and initiative deserve praise!

The carriage swayed to the door of the shop. Before Gu Nanxi got off, she heard Su Yunting's voice.

"Little sister, can you give the remaining wood from renovating your shop to your second brother?" Su Yunting asked, licking his face.

"It's so shameful that the second son of the Yongchang Marquisate actually used the wood that others didn't want to build a school."

Before Su Yunyan could say anything, Sun Shuyao started to mock her. Then, she said, "I know a timber merchant and a contractor. You can go find him and mention my name."

Su Yunting raised his eyebrows, his fox eyes half-smiled, "Then we won't be polite. I'll tell you in advance that the money we two brothers have is not enough."

Sun Shuyao pushed Su Yunting forward and said, "Just go when I tell you to. Don't say anything. Instead of worrying about the wood, you might as well worry about whether there are craftsmen who will take the job in winter."

"Hehe, there's no need to bother two people for everything. Sister Shuyao, your father is in the Ministry of Works..." Su Yunting blinked at Sun Shuyao, looking very innocent.

Sun Shuyao's eyes sparkled, and her cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of blush: "When there is nothing to do, just call me sister Shuyao. If Yunyan was not my good sister, do you think I would pay attention to you?"

"I understand. Please, Sister Shuyao." The ending tone of Su Yunting's words turned three times, sticky like rice cake, and his slender waist twisted back and forth, almost shaking Sun Shuyao's soul away.

Sun Shuyao turned around and faced Su Yunting with her back, her heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

The red clouds on her pretty face were burning hot, as if they were burned by fire.

Sun Shuyao covered her chest, her eyes were filled with tears, and she snorted coldly: "You evildoer, you are calling me sister all over the mountains just to beg for help."

"Nonsense. I only called you little sister and Shuyao sister."

Sun Shuyao felt that if he continued to shout, she might even have to pay for the goods for him, so she quickly covered her ears and said, "Stop shouting."

Su Yunting rushed to Sun Shuyao, his long and narrow eyes full of affection and smile, his mouth as if smeared with honey: "Sister Shuyao, good sister, good sister..."

"Cough cough!" Gu Nanxi couldn't stand it anymore, so she hurried out and pretended to cough twice.

"Mother! Why are you here?" Su Yunyan ran to the carriage happily like a fluttering butterfly and helped Gu Nanxi get off.

Sun Shuyao took a big step to the left as if by reflex, tilting her head, not daring to look at Su Yunting or Gu Nanxi.

Gu Nanxi glared at Su Yunting, and as she passed by him, she warned him quietly, "Can you just call me brother or sister? Don't tease me."

Su Yunting sighed and muttered softly, "Mother, you are such a jerk. The cooked duck almost flew away. Do you want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"

Gu Nanxi choked up, looked at the slightly immature Su Yunting, and emphasized in a low voice: "I'm not in a hurry to have a grandson, so don't do anything rash!"

Thinking about the fact that people generally get married very young in this era, Gu Nanxi's heart was in suspense: "If you really like me, tell mother. Mother, please ask a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage. You must not get married secretly!"

For men, there is no problem even if they get married secretly.

But this is too much harm to women!

When Sun Shuyao heard the conversation between mother and son, her ears turned red and she was very shy.

Su Yunyan saw this scene and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Does Shuyao have a fever? It's cold in winter, you should wear more clothes."

Sun Shuyao...

Su Yunting touched Su Yunyan's hair bun lovingly, but his eyes glanced at Sun Shuyao intentionally or unintentionally: "Little sister, with your emotional intelligence, your second brother will have to find you a second sister-in-law who is broad-minded and knows you well. Otherwise, there will be conflicts between the aunt and the sister-in-law."

Sun Shuyao glared at Su Yunting angrily, her look was full of anger and shyness, so beautiful that even Gu Nanxi was distracted for a moment.

Gu Nanxi slapped Su Yunting on the back and said, "Hu Qin, what are you talking about? From what you said, the address of the academy has been chosen?"

Gu Nanxi complained in her heart that she even had time to flirt.

Su Xuanming, who was holding a book at the side, had his eyes brightened up: "Thanks to A Niang's advice, we successfully bought the small courtyard!"

"Guidance?" Gu Nanxi was confused. What was he giving guidance on?

Su Xuanming nodded heavily, his eyes full of admiration: "The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridgehead! We went down the Huimin River and spent 600 taels to buy a farmhouse!"

600 taels, a farmhouse?!

Gu Nanxi’s eyes went dark. It was still unclear whether these two sons were villains or not, but they were definitely prodigals!
