Gu Yundong and the others had already left the city gate. Aunt Ke looked at the gradually blurring city wall outside the window and suddenly felt a little sad.
“Two days ago, I thought of letting Sitian follow me to the prefectural city so that we can take care of each other. More importantly, her embroidery skills are good. Those embroidery pieces can’t be sold for a high price in this county city. What a shame. She will definitely be able to get a lot of embroidery work when she goes to the prefectural city. It’s just that she didn’t agree.”
Gu Yundong thought for a moment. “Sitian has been through so much and has always yearned for a more peaceful life. Perhaps she feels that Yongfu Village is more comfortable and suitable for her.”
Aunt Ke gave her a sidelong glance. “You’re really… so stupid.”
Gu Yundong was dumbfounded. No, did I say anything wrong?
She looked at Tong Shuitao, who shook her head, indicating that she did not understand.
She looked at Madam Yang again. Madam Yang was even more confused than her.
Finally, she looked down at Gu Yunke, who was in her arms. The young lady adjusted to a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
Aunt Ke was speechless.
Aunt Ke sighed and closed her eyes. She didn’t want to talk to her anymore. Forget it, forget it. This was Shen Sitian’s own business. She shouldn’t get involved.
It was just that Shen Sitian and that person would have to work hard now that they met Gu Yundong, who was not smart enough. Gu Yundong would probably not be able to help much.
Gu Yunke quickly fell asleep. The few people in the carriage did not speak again. They swayed as the carriage moved towards the prefectural city.
It was only in the evening that the carriage arrived at the city gate.
The Xuanhe Prefecture was as lively as ever. However, the guards at the city gate were no longer Nie Cong’s group.
The carriage drove into the prefectural city. Tong Shuitao and the others curiously lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out.
“Miss, Xuanhe Prefecture is even more lively than Wanqing Prefecture.”
“Of course.” Back then, Wanqing Prefecture had also experienced a lot of attacks from refugees. In addition, the prefecture magistrate had colluded with the Xin family to take bribes. Naturally, this prosperity could not compare to the Xuanhe Prefecture.
It was a little late, so the group first found an inn and booked a few rooms to stay in.
Although Aunt Ke’s house was in the prefectural city, she had not been back for a long time. Her house had to be tidied up before she could stay, so she might as well return tomorrow.
They put down their luggage and rested for a while before going out for dinner.
Coincidentally, the inn they were staying in was diagonally opposite the Jinxiu Restaurant that Liu Wei’s family had opened in the prefecture capital a few months ago.
Moreover, it seemed that the restaurant was very lively and business seemed to be very good.
When Gu Yundong entered, he saw the shopkeeper who was quickly calculating the accounts on the abacus.
Coincidentally, this shopkeeper was originally the shopkeeper of the restaurant in Fengkai County.
He looked up and saw a group of people coming in. When he saw Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan, he immediately recognized them. He quickly put down his abacus and walked out from behind the counter.
“Lady Gu, Master Shao, you’re here?”
“Shopkeeper, are there any more private rooms?”
The shopkeeper laughed. “Yes, of course.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a middle-aged man beside her suddenly glared and asked unhappily, “What’s going on? Didn’t you say that there are no more private rooms? Why do you have one as soon as they come?”
Gu Yundong looked in the direction of the voice. The other party looked angry. Judging from his clothes, he should be the manager of a rich family. There was no telling if he wanted to hold a banquet or if he was here to reserve a room for his master.
However, it was already time to eat. Wouldn’t it be a little late to help his master make a reservation?
In that case, he was the one who wanted to make a reservation?
