Lady Wan Guan

When Gu Zhou stopped to arrive at Jiang Wan Ning's residence, Yang Xu and Mr. Wen were standing in the courtyard with the guys to send New Year blessings to Jiang Wan Ning.

"I wish Madam Jiang a happy new year and all the best."

The voice was uniform and impressive.

Jiang Wan Ning's warm words came from inside: "I have received everyone's wishes. I will help you make more money in the New Year, and strive to send you a big red envelope at the end of the year, so that everyone's life will become more and more prosperous."

The relaxed tone and the most down-to-earth promise made everyone laugh.

"Then I hope Madam Jiang will make us rich, hahaha..." Yang Xu's laughter was hearty.

Gu Zhouting's eyes couldn't help but bring a smile.

Xiao Pan was the first to notice that Master Gu was coming.

"Master Gu."

Everyone hurriedly bowed to Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhouting nodded slightly and entered the room under everyone's gaze.

Yang Xu whispered: "Wen Liu, do you think Mr. Gu is interested in the young lady? Not only did he personally take care of the young lady for two days and two nights, but he was also so diligent in visiting her."

Wen Liu said: "What are you worried about? The little lady is a person with ideas. You and I don't need to worry about this matter."

He said and waved his hands, signaling for everyone to disperse.

Yang Xu was still there, but Wen Liu dragged him away.

Jiang Wan Ning has already gotten up. Today she specially put on a tea-white pleated skirt and a lotus-colored quilted jacket. Her black hair was tied into a concentric bun with a light pink hairpin. The camellia flowers are still plainly dressed, but the color is a little brighter. Firstly, it brings good luck in the New Year, and secondly, it covers the sick appearance.

When Gu Zhouting saw her dressed like this, he was distracted for a moment. When he saw Nan Zhi, whom Shangguan Beiqing often talked about, for the first time, it seemed that Nan Zhi was also dressed like this.

At that time, Nan Zhi had a pair of big smart eyes and a charming smile. At first glance, she was a clever girl.

And her brows are gentle, as quiet as water, and calm and majestic.

"My lord, I wish you a happy new year." Jiang Wan said with a blessing.

Gu Zhouting came to his senses: "Why are you up?"

"I'm much better now. I heard that the adults went out early in the morning and everything was done. Have you had breakfast?"

Gu Zhouting caught a glimpse of the millet porridge on the table, and several plates of side dishes and snacks had not been touched.

"No."

"Together?"

"it is good."

"Qing Xing, bring me a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Qingxing said happily: "Yes!"

I felt very happy. For the first meal of the new year, Mr. Gu came to share it with the young lady. Is this a good sign?

The two of them sat opposite each other. Gu Zhou stopped and touched his sleeve pocket, thinking about how he could give the gift without seeming deliberate.

Seeing that he seemed thoughtful, Jiang Wanning asked softly: "Sir, has something happened in Yanzhou?"

I heard from Uncle Yang before that Yanzhou's problems have basically been solved.

"No, it's just that I was late in checking the accounts last night. I had to go to Baoen Temple this morning to grab the first incense. I was afraid of oversleeping, so I didn't close my eyes and was a little sleepy."

"Searching for the first place? Sir, do you still have such a point?"

She remembered that when she said she wanted to compete for the first prize, Gu Zhouting was not interested and was forced to go by everyone. Unexpectedly, no one forced him to go now, and he was willing to go.

Gu Zhouting couldn't help laughing: "There is an old friend who likes to grab the first prize on New Year's Day. Now she can't grab it, so I will grab it for her."

Jiang Wan Ning: Uh... he's talking about Nan Zhi.

Jiang Wanning hesitated and asked: "Why can't your old friend snatch it away?"

Gu Zhouting looked at her quietly: "She went to a very far place."

Jiang Wan Ning picked her fingers. He did not say that Nan Zhi was dead, but that Nan Zhi had gone to a far away place. Was he unwilling to face the fact that Nan Zhi was dead, or was he talking about whether he would die or not on New Year's Day? Ominous?

"If your old friend knows your thoughts, he will definitely be very happy."

"Will you?" Gu Zhouting's eyes sparkled.

His eyes were affectionate and focused, making Jiang Wan Ning a little flustered.

"Yes... I definitely will! If it were me, I would be far away from home and my friends from my hometown would still remember me and go grab the incense and pray for me. I would definitely be very happy. But unfortunately, I don't have many friends and I can't feel such joy. That’s it.”

Gu Zhou stopped and frowned slightly, took out the sachet from his sleeve pocket and handed it over: "Look at how pitiful you are, this is the peace charm I asked for from Bao'en Temple, and I gave it to you as a New Year's gift. "

"Ah? Give it to me? How to do this?"

"How can I not do it? You and I are working together now, so we can be considered friends! Besides, you helped me a lot on this trip to the north. I am already tired and sick. This peace talisman is the most suitable for you, to keep you safe."

Only then did Jiang Wan Ning accept it: "Thank you very much, sir."

Gu Zhouting asked for this talisman for Nan Zhi. Now that it is in her hands, it is considered a gift to the right person.

"But, I haven't prepared any New Year's gifts for you," Jiang Wanning said awkwardly.

In fact, she was prepared. She knew before she came that she would celebrate the New Year in the north, so she prepared gifts for Ji Yunchen and Gu Zhouting.

What was given to Ji Yunchen was a sword tassel. Ji Yunchen had a Qingyun sword. At the peach blossom banquet in Princess Changping's mansion, Ji Yunchen used the Qingyun sword to teach her tricks, but she accidentally cut off the sword tassel. She said she would She personally made a sword fringe to compensate him, but she was not good at women's red. The pattern of the sword fringe was too complicated, so she kept putting it off until now.

What was given to Gu Zhou was a Duan Inkstone, which lacked the bamboo charm of a master.Master Queyi only carved five bamboo-patterned Duan inkstones in his life. Gu Zhouting had one at home, but Gu Zhouting accidentally broke it. The boy was so distressed that he couldn't sleep for several days.By coincidence, there was a bamboo charm in her dowry.

But she has been struggling with whether to give the gift away.

If you give this away, it is equivalent to showing your identity.

Both of them are shrewd people. They could find excuses to cover up the coincidences she had deliberately revealed before, but these two gifts really couldn't be covered up.

Jiang Wanning decided not to send it away yet.

Gu Zhouting didn't take it seriously: "It would be the best gift for you to get better soon."

After he said the words, he felt that what he said was too ambiguous, so he added: "Is it okay to leave the day after tomorrow at the latest?"

Jiang Wan Ning was confused by his previous words, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard his last words. It turned out that he was worried that her health would delay his schedule and disrupt his plans.

He said hurriedly: "No problem, it's okay to leave now."

Gu Zhouting sighed slightly: "It's not that urgent."

Secretly rubbing his palms on the hem of his clothes, he was sweating as he gave a gift. Gu Zhou stopped, you are so worthless.

"Sir, where are we going this time?"

"Back to Beijing."

"Going back now?" Jiang Wan Ning was a little surprised.

"What? You don't want to go back yet?"

"No, I thought you were going to Dengzhou."

"What are you doing in Dengzhou?"

"Those hundred thousand dans of grain? Although we robbed one hundred thousand dans of grain, since they have negotiated a deal with the Dayuan people, they will definitely find a way to raise another [-] dans. Do they want to watch the grain fall into Dayuan? In someone’s hands?”
