The housekeeper was very thoughtful and everything was cleaned up, even the vegetables were processed enough for the day. Those who can be housekeepers are indeed very meticulous.
After that, Gulan walked around the kitchen and returned to the bedroom to rest with great satisfaction. The bedroom is very large, about fifty or sixty square meters, and what Gulan is most satisfied with in the bedroom is the big bed. It had been a long time since she had slept in a bed, except for the wooden bed she found in the deserted village that creaked when she slept on it.
Gulan calculated and found that it had been nearly a hundred days. During these days, we almost always used the sky as our blanket and the ground as our mat. Later, as the weather grew colder, we finally said goodbye to using the sky as our blanket, but we still used the ground as our mat.
It was she who had gone through all kinds of arduous training in the military, had done all kinds of difficult tasks, and had a strong enough mind. If a spoiled girl who had never suffered hardship came here, she would probably not be able to hold on and would be the first to fall down, let alone help the original owner raise her son. Gulan was glad that she could come here, otherwise she would not have such a lovely son and would not have the chance to live again.
Gulan slowly walked to the bedside, looked at the small arc in the middle of the bed, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. It was AnAn. The little guy came to the bedroom and saw this oversized bunk bed with exquisite carvings. He liked it very much at first sight. He immediately took off his shoes and socks and got on the bed, jumping on the bed for a while. Maybe he was too excited, or maybe he was too tired, he felt sleepy while jumping and fell asleep in a moment.
When she went out, Daya and Erya were guarding her on the couch outside the bedroom. Seeing that the child was sleeping soundly, Gulan went out quietly again, and told the sisters Daya and Erya not to run around and to look after AnAn, and then she went to the west yard to check on Aunt Li.
The village chief, Aunt Li and more than 30 other households lived in the west yard, while the two elders and the rest lived in the north yard. When Gulan arrived at the West Courtyard, everyone was almost settled. Basically, several households with close relationships live together.
The village chief, Old Man Li, Li Shan, Li Kui, Li Xiaozhu, Li Mu and other relatives of the Li family occupied two rooms, separate for men and women. Seeing Gulan, Li Da, Li Kui and the others quickly surrounded him and started talking to him non-stop.
"That's enough, how can Gu boy speak when you are talking so much?" Village chief Li pushed aside the crowd and stared at Li Da and a dozen other grown men, chattering away, thinking they were children. Then he looked at Gulan with a smile on his face, and his expression changed so quickly that everyone who was being stared at was shocked.
But since the target was Master Gu, no one found it strange. They were able to enter the city smoothly and temporarily live in such a large house, all thanks to Master Gu. If Master Gu had not saved the Prince of Yunzhou, they would never have had this opportunity even if they worked hard their entire lives. It is true that good people are rewarded, and it is also a blessing for Master Gu. To be honest, under that situation, I'm afraid none of them would have the courage of Master Gu, who not only rescued the person but also brought him back.
Most of them would just look at it a few more times, sigh a few words in their hearts, and at most give it a few sips of water, nothing more than that. Therefore, even though they knew that the former ugly boy was now the prince of Yunzhou, no one in Lijiacun was jealous. Even unlike them who were crowded together, Gulan had a special place to live, and everyone thought it was appropriate. It would be really strange if the savior was treated the same way as them.
The village chief looked at Gulan with a smile, "Have you settled everything over there?"
"Thank you for your concern, everything is fine now." In fact, there was nothing to organize. Everything was ready. She only needed to take down a few clothes. The rest were left in the carriage. She really didn't move much.
"Gulan, you've come at the right time. We have something to discuss with you."
Gulan looked at the village chief strangely, "Uncle Village Chief, what's the matter?"
"The steward here earlier brought a cart of food over and unloaded it into the kitchen without explanation, saying it was prepared for us. We couldn't refuse it. After the steward left, we looked inside and saw that it was all fine grains, not only that, but also a lot of vegetables and meat."
As he spoke, the village chief took Gulan towards the kitchen and said, "Look, it's full."
The village chief pointed to the kitchen.
It's true. Maybe it's because there are so many people here, so there are several bags of food alone, and even more vegetables. There are fewer types of meat, pork with ribs and a few ducks.
"Gulan, what do you think we should do?" The village chief really didn't know how to deal with it.
As they were speaking, two elders came over accompanied by their sons and just happened to hear what the village chief said. He looked at the things in the kitchen and found nothing surprising. If they had it, there must be something here.
"Yes! We have some in too. What do you think we should do about this?" The two elders of the clan also came here for this matter.
The elders are old, but they are not confused. They understand that these things are done for Gulan's sake, so Gulan still has to make the decision on this matter.
As expected of a housekeeper of a wealthy family, he is always thorough in his work, Gulan sighed inwardly. Never mind, although the things look like a lot, they don't actually cost that much silver when you really count them, and the butler is also afraid that if he doesn't entertain well and will suffer the consequences.
Looking at the many eyes looking at him, Gulan said: "In this case, everyone can accept it with peace of mind."
"Is this okay?" The village chief looked at Gulan.
"It's okay, don't worry," Gulan said firmly. Lijiacun had protected him all the way, so it wouldn't be too much to eat some of his food.
Out of trust in Gulan, since the boy said so, there was no problem, and the village chief felt relieved.
Then he smiled and said, "In that case, we will shamelessly accept it, but Gulan, if you see the prince, please thank him for helping us."
Village Chief Li still had some self-knowledge and didn't dare to hope to talk to the prince again. To be honest, he was also very scared.
"Okay," Gulan agreed, and then talked to the village chief, Uncle Li and Li Da for a few words. Seeing that there was nothing else, she left.
On the other side, Xiang Yunjin and his Jinyun Guards rode at full speed and quietly returned to Xiang Palace. He returned to his own courtyard, took a good bath with the help of his servants, changed into his usual clothes, and sat neatly on the couch in the hall.
"Nothing has happened these days." Xiang Yunjin glanced at his personal attendant who was pouring tea with joy.
I didn't take him with me when I left, just so that he could take good care of Yunyuan and keep an eye on the news in the mansion.
"My Lord, apart from a few banquets held in the mansion, nothing major has happened. The Second Young Master has been staying in the mansion almost every day except for the academy, and there is no difference from before. The Prince is also fine." Gao Xing carefully handed the tea to his master, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on his face. His master had finally returned.
"Has he (Yunjin Dad)... asked this prince?" Xiang Yunjin took the tea, took a sip, and his hands unconsciously clenched the cup.
"My Lord, no." The voice was a little hesitant, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the prince with joy and worry. He just couldn't understand why the prince (Dad) could never see their prince, who was such a prominent and successful person.
"Heh..." Xiang Yunjin drank the tea in his hand in one gulp. Isn't this something that has been expected for a long time? Why do we still have expectations? He placed the cups on the table, stood up, gently brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, glanced at Gao Xing, and walked out.
"When a son has been away for such a long time, it is time for him to show his filial piety to his father and make him happy."
Hearing this, Gao Xing and Liu Lin, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly followed. I'm afraid the prince is going to cause trouble again.
