Chapter 21 Return

Chu Yi's long and thick eyelashes moved slightly, and the light golden firelight on the tip of the eyelashes trembled, flickering, and there was a trace of interest in his black eyes.

"The fire shop is here!"

A burst of deafening cheers resounded throughout the street, and the officers and soldiers of the fire-fighting shop finally arrived belatedly and worked together with the yamen to fight the fire.

For these, Gu Yanfei didn't care.

After finishing her work, she returned directly to Gu's house on Hua'an Street.

Kuan Bi was waiting for her at the back door, relieved to see her back, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

Now this house is completely under the control of Gu Yanfei, and the servants dare not say anything at all. Therefore, whether she leaves or returns, she has not disturbed others.

The interior of Gu's house was peaceful, and everyone in the house knew nothing about the disappearance of the Danyang government office.

This night, for some people, is very long and torturous, but for some people, it is just a snap of a finger, and it is just a matter of sleeping.

The next morning, various rumors bombarded the Gu house:

For example, the Nanyue people openly poisoned and murdered the eldest prince, and also set fire to the Danyang prefecture;

For example, the eldest prince Jiren has his own celestial appearance and is safe and sound;

For example, most of the Danyang House was burned down, and the fire finally did not spread to other nearby houses;

For example, the gang of Nanyue people who set the fire were instructed by a Nanyue official, and the government had captured most of them. Unfortunately, it is not certain whether the Nanyue official was captured.

These news can be described as appalling, and everyone in the Gu family was stunned.

For the next few days, the people in the city were discussing this matter enthusiastically. Every time they saw the Danyang government office, which had been burned down, they all had lingering fears. They dared not imagine that if the fire spread to the whole city, They were afraid of being doomed.

Yue people are really despicable and shameless!

On October 15th, Jinshang sent hundreds of Jinyiwei and the Imperial Army to Danyang City to **** the eldest prince back to Beijing, with great momentum.

It was not until October 16 that Mrs. Gu Tai got the news, and the city gate finally opened again.

Mrs. Gu Tai was forced to stay in Danyang City for six more days. She didn't want to stay for a long time, so she immediately ordered to set off on the same day.

So, all the servants of Gu's house took action, arranging carriages, packing boxes and cages, and doing some favors.

Halfway through   , the four carriages of the Gu family drove out from the north gate of Danyang City and embarked on the road back to Beijing.

Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen rode in the second carriage together, and the little milk cat naturally accompanied them.

Along the way, Gu Yunzhen and Gu Yanfei talked a lot about the Hou Mansion, the layout of the Hou Mansion, the fact that there are five people living in the Hou Mansion, and the important stewards and nanny of the Hou Mansion. When it comes to some in-laws in the Gu clan... in bits and pieces, meticulous and thoughtful.

Naturally, Gu Yanfei knew about these things, but she still listened patiently. She knew that Gu Yun was really kind, and many distant memories became clearer because of Gu Yunzhen's description.

Mrs. Gu Tai had something hidden in her heart and couldn't wait to return to Beijing, so she changed her leisurely attitude and ordered the driver to hurry and hurry along the way. The last group arrived in the capital a day earlier than they left.

Mrs. Gu Tai is in her early fifties, and she is not young. She was exhausted by the journey.

Even so, the first thing she did when she returned to the Hou residence was not to rest, but to bring Gu Yanfei and Gu Yunzhen to Cihetang.

"Grandma, you are back!"

The girl in a crimson dress walked lightly and came out to greet Mrs. Gu Tai.

The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and her smile is as bright as the rising sun, and her eyes are scorchingly flowing.

Gu Yanfei recognized Gu Yunxi at a glance, and that familiar face crossed two hundred years in an instant...

For a moment, Gu Yanfei felt that the two hundred years of Yaoling Realm seemed to be just a dream of hers, just like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies.

Gu Yanfei tried his best to suppress his inner demons and wake himself up.

The entire Cihetang became lively with the return of Mrs. Tai.

The maids served tea again and again after their busy schedules. They also served melon and fruit desserts. They also specially ordered Mrs. Gu's favorite incense, which contained a little herbal fragrance.

"Grandmother, are you tired from going to Danyang City this time?" Gu Yunxuan hugged Mrs. Gu Tai's arm affectionately and coaxed her with a smile, "I think you've lost weight, I'll cook for you tonight. vegetable……"

She smiled brightly, and a pair of small dimples appeared on her lips, which was smart and amiable.

For Mrs. Gu Tai, Gu Yunchang was her sweet little padded jacket. After hearing these words of concern, Mrs. Gu Tai's expression softened a little, and she said with a smile: "Then grandmother is waiting to taste your craft."

Speaking of which, her sister-in-law should be only a month or two older than that wild girl, but she doesn't know how many times she is caring and sensible.

Hey, back then, the eldest daughter of the eldest house was the one who married Fang Mingfeng, and now he can only aggrieve Gu Yuncong to be his sister.

After everyone was seated, Gu Yunchang looked around for half a circle, and nodded to Gu Yunzhen first: "Eldest sister, this time you worked hard to accompany your grandmother for a trip."

followed, and she looked at Gu Yanfei who was sitting next to Gu Yunzhen, and the corners of her lips curved: "This is the second sister, I am Yunxiang."

She seems to be born with long sleeves and good dance, and is affectionate with everyone.

Gu Yanfei didn't say a word, and caressed the smooth back of the little milk cat casually with one hand. The little milk cat slept sweetly in her arms, and the round cat head was buried in it, motionless.

I don't know the etiquette! Mrs. Gu Tai squinted at Gu Yanfei with a bit of displeasure in her eyes.

This girl's heart is higher than the sky, and her life is thinner than paper. She has been playing a small temper all these days, probably just to compete with her sister-in-law.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Mama Li of Cihetang laughed, her round eyes became cracked with laughter, she said to Gu Yuncong: "Three girls, there will be one more sister who will love you in the future. ."

"It's so brave!" The smile on Gu Yunchang's lips was deeper, and the sun was shining brightly.

Mrs. Gu Tai picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then she said to Gu Yanfei: "Second girl, since you are in the capital, you must obey the rules of the Hou's Mansion."

"Don't go out if you have nothing to do in the future, and be a good girl at home."

"In a few days, the British government will come to make a small order. After a while, I will have someone give you the size of Fang Shizi, and you can make a set of clothes and socks."

Mrs. Gu Tai used a commanding tone, calm on the surface, but in fact she was very anxious.

Since the eldest prince has arrived in Beijing, the situation in the capital will definitely change. Some courtiers may stand on the side of the eldest prince for the so-called orthodoxy. Then, King Kang's position will not be so stable.

The Queen Mother will definitely fight for all the forces that King Kang can fight for, and marriage is one of the most effective ways.

And today's Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is not enough for the Queen Mother's eyes.

This self-knowledge, Mrs. Gu Tai still has it.

For Hou Fu, the most important thing right now is to take advantage of King Kang's love for Gu Yunchang, and quickly settle the marriage between the two, so she has to settle the marriage between Gu and Fang first.
