Mrs. Chen frowned.

They had no choice but to say that they did not want to buy it!

When the other villagers saw that there were six families including Mrs. Wang, they all went to buy a lot of things. They actually set up a stall in the village and thought that they were daydreaming.

However, the few wives looked at it for a long time. They felt that it was okay.

They didn’t know if they bought anything in the end. Those people left reluctantly. They probably didn’t bring money.

This time, they were also helping to comfort Mrs. Wang and the others.

After MO Ruyue finished explaining the medical knowledge to the female doctors, she ran over.

“Did anyone come to see the stall?”

“Yes, but I didn’t even sell a hair tie.”

“There’s no hurry. It’s fine as long as someone is watching.”

“Think about it, it’s only the first day. There are many stalls in town that can’t sell a hair tie a day.”

The few of them thought about it and felt a little relieved.

“It’s almost dinner time. Let’s close the stall and set it up tomorrow.”

MO Ruyue helped Mrs. Wang and Qin Qingfei clean up the stall. Just as they were about to go back) a man on horseback came to the village entrance. She turned around and took a closer look. The man was wearing the uniform of the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency.

MO Ruyue had a hunch that this person was here to deliver a letter to her, and that letter was probably written by Gu Ying.

Gu Ying went to the capital and said that he would be back soon. It had been almost five days and he had not returned.

As expected, the man stopped in front of MO Ruyue.

“Princess Ming Yue, your letter!”

“Thank you!’

“By the way, did Gu Ying say when he would be back?”

If it was any other messenger, MO Ruyue would definitely not ask. However, this person was from the same family as Gu Ying, so he should know a little about Gu Ying’s schedule.

‘Eldest Young Master said that it will take two to three days. If there’s nothing else, he will come back as soon as possible. If there’s something else, it might take three to five days.”

MO Ruyue nodded and asked Wei Yi to take care of this person. She quickly went home and opened the letter.

Most of the contents of the letter were Gu Ying telling her why he had not returned after so many days and that he had to stay in the capital for three to five days. It was because some of the apprentices he recruited lived in remote places. Many people did not know where West River Village was, so he had to wait for them to return.

There were also two lines of love at the end of the letter.

MO Ruyue looked at the sentence, “There’s a beautiful woman, I can’t forget her. I haven’t seen her for a day, and I miss her crazily.” Although it was a little mushy, she liked it quite a bit.

Gu Ying even changed the word ‘there’s a beauty’ to ‘there’s a beautiful woman’ so that it wouldn’t seem so frivolous.

It was getting dark now. MO Ruyue told the messenger from the Xue Family Bodyguard Agency to stay in the village for the night and leave early the next morning. She also sent a letter to Gu Ying.

The messenger had already been instructed to wait for the princess’s reply, so he naturally had to stay.

MO Ruyue’s letter was simple. First of all, her family was doing well. Thinking of the big plan to set up a stall in the village, she asked Gu Ying to help her bring back some small toys when he returned from the capital. The more, the better.

The latest gadgets in the capital were definitely more popular than ordinary goods.

MO Ruyue always wanted Gu Ying to do the work. Although they were dating now, she couldn’t just let him do everything for her.

Therefore, MO Ruyue also wrote a sentence at the end of the letter: Come back early.

That night, something happened at the mine.

The guards and nannies didn’t agree to let MO Ruyue go to the other side of the mountain at night. They told Wei Yi to check on the situation and then report to her.

MO Ruyue saw that they were insistent and the two little ones were staring at her with eager eyes. They looked like they wanted her to go with them, so she gave up too.

Lu Shen and the others were watching over the other side. It shouldn’t be too big of a deal. It might just be some entanglements.

Wei Yi quickly found out that they were working during the day and had yet to leave work. They wanted to work a little longer, and those who had to work at night could only go back to work after the rest of the day had left work. The two groups of people quarreled and almost got into a fight. If it wasn’t for the old village chief telling them to scram, they would have been slapped in the face.

They didn’t fight on the first day because nothing like this had happened. They didn’t know that if they were to exceed 100 catties and reach 150 catties, they would be paid a few more copper coins.

Some people wanted to take advantage of the situation and knock down the stone from the side of the tunnel. Because only so many people could enter at once, they thought that they could only squeeze to the side without stopping. In the end, Lu Shen found out and directly sent that person away. Such disobedient and self-righteous people would only cause trouble for them.

Lu Shen ‘killed the chicken to warn the monkeys’. Only then did those people become really obedient. They did what they were told and did not dare to go west.

When Gu Ying received the letter, he couldn’t wait to open it. When he saw the last four words, he was overjoyed.

MO Ruyue asked him to come back early. Did it mean that she missed him too?

Definitely!

Because of those four words, Gu Ying was in high spirits for two whole days.

Currently, the Liu family had few businesses left in the capital, and they were all struggling to survive.

They could only blame themselves. They had no choice but to bang their heads against the wall.

He had planned to bring back all the things he had collected from the Liu Family for MO Ruyue.

Thinking of what MO Ruyue had said in her letter, he personally went to collect many of the small toys that MO Ruyue needed.

Many people in the capital knew Gu Ying. He was not very famous before, but from the time he dropped from the top scholar to the second rank holder, most people in the capital knew him, especially those officials.

Gu Ying had been summoned by the Emperor twice this time. Everyone felt that although this person did not go on an official career, he was still very favored by the Emperor. Many families asked their sons and nephews to befriend him.

They saw him buying some small things on the street for the past two days, and he bought quite a lot of them. Many of them were for women’s household use, which was very thought-provoking.

It was said that this Gu Ying was still single and had never proposed a marriage. Moreover, he had always been rejected. Now, when they saw him buying these things, those who were curious would ask him.

Gu Ying was annoyed by the question and did not hide it. He directly said that he bought it for his sweetheart.

However, when those people asked who their sweetheart was, he said that they were too nosy and directly talked them to death.

After Gu Ying came to the capital, the Emperor had people pay attention to his movements, but he did not monitor him. He just wanted to prevent the Liu family from discovering him.

After learning that he had received a letter, Gu Ying had happily gone to the streets to buy some small toys. He knew that Gu Ying must have bought them for MO Ruyue.

He was MO Ruyue’s brother!

“Someone, go and pay close attention to Gu Ying. What did he buy? Then, buy better ones that are double the ones he bought.”

Gu Ying did not know what the Emperor was thinking, and even if he did, he would not care. In any case, he could only consider himself as a member of his family.

MO Ruyue didn’t know that the two men in the capital were fighting each other openly and secretly. She was currently doing some publicity.

Several families in the village saw Mrs. Wang and the others setting up a stall and felt that it should be feasible. There were also many families who did not need to shout. They followed them and bought some small toys to set up a stall.

They were smart enough to rely on their own observations to make sure that they did not overlap with Mrs. Wang and the others. These people were becoming more and more worry-free..
