"Master, please stay in Anping today. I have arranged a courtyard for you. If you stand higher, you can see the candlelight in the second young master's room."

Having said this, Gan Maosheng finally had a faint smile on his face:

"The second young master is from the Jiangnan River. There is no government office in Anping. I originally prepared a three-story house for him to live in temporarily, but the second young master said he didn't want to waste the family's money. He found a small courtyard for himself, with only one bedroom and two side rooms. He also built a stove in the courtyard. He and his followers have lived there for more than two months."

"but……"

Gan Maosheng glanced at Gu Feiwan and smiled even more: "Now, the second young master probably regrets it a little!"

Gu Feiwan raised his eyebrows, as if there was something exciting to watch?

This excitement can also make Gan Maosheng feel very interesting, then it will be a big excitement!

"Okay, then stay for one night!" Gu Feiwan glanced at Ning Weizhou.

Ning Weizhou nodded immediately: "I will listen to you, my lady!"

The courtyard prepared by Gan Maosheng is small but very exquisite.

Unlike the mansions in the capital, the rockery and plants here, although not majestic, are delicate and charming, with a graceful charm everywhere.

"If my lady wants to see my second brother, then go over and see him. It's only a few steps away." Ning Weizhou felt very distressed when he saw Gu Feiwan standing at the door before it got dark.

Gu Feiwan shook her head. She knew her second brother well. He was a very thoughtful person and had a very delicate heart.

He said he didn't want to see her, probably because he was having a hard time in Anping and looked very different from when he was in the capital. He was afraid that Gu Feiwan would feel sad if he saw her.

"Second brother must have his reasons for saying he doesn't want to see her. Anyway, we are both in Jiangnan now, so there will always be many opportunities to see each other." Gu Feiwan raised his eyes to the sky, wishing it would get dark immediately!

As soon as it got dark, the meals in the courtyard were ready, with fish, meat and sometimes vegetables.

The cook that Gan Maosheng hired is very skilled, especially in cooking fish. Not only is the fish delicious, but the dishes are also presented very beautifully.

There was also a dish of stir-fried lotus root. Gu Feiwan ate most of it. It had just the right amount of saltiness and fragrance, with a sweet aftertaste. The crispy texture instantly made him feel cheerful after a whole day of traveling!

Seeing that Gu Feiwan was enjoying her meal and Doctor Song didn't tell her to eat less, Ning Weizhou quietly went out to find Gan Maosheng and wanted to take the cook away.

"The general has thought it through. This cook is originally from the Gu family. She was arranged to serve the second young master, but the second young master didn't need her. However, he didn't send her away, saying that she would definitely be of use when the boss comes." Gan Maosheng praised the two people with this sentence.

Ning Weizhou thought for a while and said, "Go and tell my second brother if he can see me. I won't tell Fei Wan."

Gan Maosheng smiled and stretched out his hand to lead him forward: "The Second Young Master has instructed that as long as the General can keep his mouth shut, it's fine to meet him!"

Ning Weizhou snorted, not knowing whether he was angry or helpless. This Gu Shian really lived up to his reputation of having a "fox heart"!

Stepping into the courtyard where Gu Shian lived, Ning Weizhou looked around. The courtyard was no different from that of ordinary homes in Jiangnan, and was even a little more simple.

In addition to a stove in the yard, there are also two chickens!

The follower dressed in shorts is hunched over and feeding the chickens!

Hearing the noise, the follower turned around, and the alertness in his eyes instantly turned into a silly smile:

"The general is here!"

Ning Weizhou frowned. It had only been a few days since they last saw each other, so how come he looked as black as charcoal?

The attendant bared his teeth and said, "The Second Young Master is waiting for the General inside!"

Ning Weizhou nodded, and as he walked past his followers, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder:

"This is Jiangnan, not a place for a military campaign. You should pay attention to your appearance and don't embarrass your Second Young Master."

"Hehe, General, don't worry, the Second Young Master doesn't despise his subordinates!" The follower's two big white teeth were exceptionally shiny.

After taking another four or five steps, when Ning Weizhou stepped into the house, he finally understood where his follower's confidence came from!

Under a lamp oil, there sat a thin, dry and black man!

Seeing Ning Weizhou coming in, the dark, tall and thin man also bared his teeth: "Brother-in-law is here? Come and sit down!"

Ning Weizhou tilted his head and looked at him carefully for several times, then slowly sat down at the table, took a deep breath, and sighed deeply:

"No wonder you didn't see Feiwan. If you look like this, she will probably cry!"

Gu Shian didn't stay in the capital for long, but his classmates gave him the nickname "Fox Prince"!

There are two meanings here. One is that Gu Shian is cunning and like a fox, and should not be easily provoked!

The second story says that Gu Shian is handsome. Unlike the tall and strong handsome men in the capital, he has a graceful figure and a handsome face.

But considering Gu Shian’s current condition, Gu Feiwan would not recognize him even if they met him on the street!

In the past, her jet-black and shiny hair needed to be tied up with an exquisite jade crown to keep it tidy, but now it is just casually tied into a bun with a ribbon, making it messy and a little gray when viewed up close!

In the past, his handsome face, which was delicate and exquisite, needed to be wiped with a handkerchief that had been rubbed dozens of times. Now, I’m afraid that even a freshly washed handkerchief cannot withstand the wear and tear of this face!

Ning Weizhou took another look and found that Gu Shian's hands, which used to have distinct joints and were as white as jade, were now pitch black. There was even black mud stuck between the fingers, which were so short that they couldn't be any shorter!

"You..." Ning Weizhou started to speak but didn't know what to say next.

Gu Shian, on the other hand, dipped the brush in ink and handed it over with a smile:

"Knowing that you will enter the city today, I made a promise this morning that there will be 500 city guards supervising the work tomorrow. If anyone dares to tamper with the embankment, I will have the guards arrest him and hang him on the city gate as a warning to the public!"

"Brother-in-law, I am just borrowing the power of the tiger. You are here, tiger, you can't let me take advantage of you?"

Ning Weizhou took the brush and wrote two lines. Suddenly he thought of the scene in front of the city gate today, so he put down the brush, crumpled up the paper and threw it aside.

"Have your followers take this to Admiral Zhao in Andong City and tell him that it was my order. Ask him to allocate 500 elite soldiers to you."

Ning Weizhou took out a small brocade bag from his arms. Gu Shian took it, squeezed it, untied the string, and poured the contents into his palm.

A small seal fell into Gu Shian's hand. He weighed it and found it was made of copper!

"My brother-in-law is so generous. If you make some small mistakes in the future, I will definitely plead for you in front of my sister!" Gu Shian smiled like a fox, a pitch-black fox!

Ning Weizhou was not very happy. He still frowned and looked worried: "Jiangnan has been plagued by problems for a long time. You must be careful in everything."

"With the five hundred soldiers you gave me, I'm safe!" Gu Shian in turn reminded Ning Weizhou:

"I have heard a little about the Sheng family. You must protect my sister. If she is bullied, I will not forgive you!"

"Of course." Ning Weizhou nodded repeatedly.

Before leaving, Ning Weizhou turned back and said, "Second brother, remember that Fei Wan will be waiting for you at home. When the child is born, wait for Second Uncle to give him a generous gift!"

"I know. I'm not a soft-hearted person. I'm borrowing people from you just to kill two people to sacrifice to the river god!" Gu Shian said.

"Two is not enough, twenty or two hundred will do!" Ning Weizhou raised the corner of his lips:

"Their knives haven't drunk blood for a long time, they are very thirsty!"
