Chapter 320

Gu Zezhi didn’t care about the hustle and bustle outside, at this moment he was busy helping Madam Xiao pack her luggage in the main courtyard of the Xiao mansion.

The luggage was already packed, but Madam Xiao was still a little hesitant.

“Zezhi, why don’t I... later,” Madam Xiao said hesitantly.

She had always wanted to go to her mother’s house in Jiangnan, but when she was really about to leave, she became hesitant again.

“Xiao Jiu is about to reach marriageable age, it’s not good for me to be away, and, I have to prepare a dowry for you...” Madam Xiao couldn’t help but find various reasons.

Gu Zezhi calmly patted his mother on the back and coaxed saying, “Mom, if you don’t go to Jiangnan now, there will only be more things in the future, then there will be no chance to go.”

He looked at Madam Xiao with a gentle smile, and his tone sounded meaningful.

Wang momo persuaded on the side with a smile, “Madam, the third master is right, the third master will soon have a big wedding, after this big wedding maybe you will have grandchildren soon, by then, can you still go?!”

Madam Xiao: “...”

Hearing this, Madam Xiao thought so too, yes, she would have to help take care of her grandchildren in the future, and if that happens she was afraid she won’t be able to leave for several years.

She hesitated again and said, “Zezhi, then... why don’t I go?”

“Go!” Gu Zezhi said gently but firmly, “Mom, you have already informed uncles. They are waiting for you.”

The two rode and laughed all the way.

After entering the south city gate, Gu Zezhi took the initiative to mention the county mansion, which was rewarded by the emperor.

Qin Jiu’s eyes instantly lit up and asked, “Where is it?”

Gu Zezhi: “Huashang Street.”

Qin Jiu blinked her eyes and smiled: “Huashang Street is good!”

Huashang Street was only one street away from Hulu Alley where their Qin Mansion was located. It was very close!

“I think so, too.” Gu Zezhi also smiled, “but it’s a little old. It needs to be repaired.”

The county mansion bestowed by the emperor was the original marquis mansion.

The former marquis of Yongping has been honored for several generations and he was once distinguished for a time, the mansion was over more than thirty mu, and it was imposing and impressive. During the reign of the first emperor, the title Marquis of Yongping came to an end, and was moved out, since then the mansion was vacant.

The marquis mansion was being facilitated by the government and has been vacant for more than ten years and now it must be renovated and expanded as the official fu of Chenjun.

“Will you accompany me to have a look?”

As soon as the words fell, a familiar male voice came from behind, “Zezhi.”
