Mu Wuchen's carriage was not as compact as the carriages she usually made. It had high shafts and high shafts. Gu Xiaoyou's steps were too big and her feet were missing. She was about to fall off the carriage.

"Oh my god." Gu Xiaoyou screamed and subconsciously closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

Unexpectedly, the expected pain did not come, and a warm hand clasped her waist tightly, taking her back to the carriage.

Gu Xiaoyou opened his eyes and met Mu Wuchen's slightly cold eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty: "Thank you."

Mu Wuchen's eyes darkened, and he scolded unhappily: "Why are you so reckless!"

"I didn't mean it. Who knew this carriage was so high?" Gu Xiaoyou said aggrievedly, her eyes sparkling with water, as if she was about to cry.

Mu Wuchen's heart softened and his tone softened a bit: "Don't do this anymore. You have to be more careful when walking."

"I understand, thank you." Gu Xiaoyou raised the corner of her mouth and smiled flatteringly.

Mu Wuchen shook his head helplessly, held her arm, and sent Gu Xiaoyou to the ground.

"Please consider my words carefully."

Gu Xiaoyou nodded, watched Mu Wuchen get on the carriage, leaned under the window and said, "Be careful on the road."

"I understand." Mu Wuchen opened the car curtain and said with soft eyes.

"Take care, see you later." Gu Xiaoyou smiled at him, raised his hand and waved.

"Goodbye." Mu Wuchen imitated her movements and waved gently.

He took a deep look at Gu Xiaoyou, lowered the car curtain, and said in a deep voice: "Let's set off."

Lord Wang responded and shouted loudly: "Let's set off!"

The groom grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Drive!"

The horse neighed, raised its hooves, and started running.

As soon as Mu Wuchen's carriage ran away, several carriages behind him also started off. There was a clatter of horse hooves, and the mighty team gradually disappeared on the path.

Gu Xiaoyou watched the team go away, then reluctantly looked back, sighed deeply, and walked into the alley.

She took a look at her house. The front door was painted black. When she opened the door, she saw that a wall had been built in the main room.

Gu Xiaoyou hesitated for a few seconds, then closed the door again and knocked on the door of the house next door.

"Who is it?" Zhou's gentle voice sounded.

"Sister Zhou, it's me, Xiaoyou."

The brown house door was opened immediately, and Mrs. Zhou said in surprise: "Xiaoyou, are you back?"

"Well, you want you to take me in for a few days." Gu Xiaoyou pretended to be pitiful.

"Why are you taking me in? My home is your home. Come in quickly." Mrs. Zhou took the clothes from Gu Xiaoyou's arms and took her directly to the room.

"I tidied up the room when I came back that day. I was still thinking about when you would come back. I didn't expect to use it so soon." Mrs. Zhou babbled and put Gu Xiaoyou's clothes in the suitcase.

go.

"Sister Zhou, let me do it." Gu Xiaoyou walked over and wanted to help.

"No, you go sit on the chair and I'll make the bed for you." Zhou quickly closed the suitcase, took out the bedding from another box, and spread it out quickly.

There was no room for Gu Xiaoyou to intervene, so Gu Xiaoyou could only sit on the chair and watch Mrs. Zhou busy.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at Zhou's busy voice and felt a warmth in her heart, because the sadness caused by Mu Wuchen's departure had faded a bit.

"You rest, I'll prepare dinner." Mrs. Zhou spread the quilt and walked quickly into the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoyou fell on the bed, listening to the sounds of pots and pans in the kitchen, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Not long after, dinner was ready and Liang'er came back from school.

"It's time to eat." Mrs. Zhou called.

"Here we come." Gu Xiaoyou put on her shoes and came out of the room.

Only then did Liang'er realize that Gu Xiaoyou was at home, and happily rushed over: "Aunt Gu, what are you doing here?"

"I think you'll be back soon." Gu Xiaoyou touched Liang'er's head and coaxed softly.

Liang'er believed it immediately, pulled Gu Xiaoyou's sleeve, sat down in the main hall, and said sweetly: "I miss Aunt Gu too."

After Mrs. Zhou had put the food on the table, she served Gu Xiaoyou some soup and said, "Xiaoyou, let me feed you."

"My hands are almost healed and I can eat by myself." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and took the bowl and chopsticks from Zhou's hand.

Zhou took a few glances and saw that although Gu Xiaoyou was slow to eat, there was no obstacle, so she felt relieved and picked up a bowl of rice to eat.

Liang'er took a few mouthfuls of food and asked curiously: "Aunt Gu, why didn't Brother Mu come with you?"

Gu Xiaoyou paused while eating, then lowered his eyes and said, "He went back to the capital for something."

"What a pity, I still have newly learned ancient Chinese that I want to memorize to Brother Mu." Liang'er said regretfully.

Gu Xiaoyou comforted her softly: "It's okay, Liang'er can recite it to me."

"Really? Thank you, Aunt Gu." Liang'er said happily.

Mrs. Zhou put a dish into Gu Xiaoyou's bowl and said disapprovingly: "Don't pester your aunt, she still has to rest."

"Oh, I know." Liang'er suddenly felt a little weak and took a few mouthfuls of food listlessly.

"How can I be so squeamish? Listening to Liang'er recite ancient prose is not tiring." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile, taking a bite of food for Liang'er: "After dinner, I will go and listen to you recite."

"Yeah." Liang'er's eyes lit up and she responded happily.

"Just get used to him."

Zhou shook her head helplessly, and Gu Xiaoyou winked at her mischievously.

"You..." Mrs. Zhou glanced at Gu Xiaoyou angrily and remembered the business: "By the way, all the rice paper in Boss Ma's shop has been shipped to various shops, and Zhu Cheng has already collected the payment..."

"Okay, I understand. I can rest assured that Sister Zhou will do things." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile.

Zhou shook her head and told Gu Xiaoyou about the profits of several shops during this period. After listening to a few words, Gu Xiaoyou's mind suddenly drifted to what Mu Wuchen said during the day.

The money she makes now may be even more in the capital...

The sun is shining brightly, and the dazzling sunshine fills every corner of Qingcheng County.

In the house.

Gu Xiaoyou looked at the workers sweating profusely while building the house, and said unbearably: "You guys, please take a rest and wait until the sun gets smaller in the afternoon before you start working again."

"Thank you, we are used to it, this little sunshine won't be a problem." The workers rejected Gu Xiaoyou's kindness and continued to build the house.

Gu Xiaoyou tried to persuade them a few more times, but the workers still refused to take a break, so she had to go to the kitchen to boil mung bean water, hoping to cool down the heat for these workers.

"These workers can really endure hardship." Gu Xiaoyou boiled mung bean water and complained: "I wonder where Mu Wuchen found it?"

Gu Xiaoyou smiled and shook her head. Why did she think of Mu Wuchen again?

Gu Xiaoyou knocked his head in annoyance and slumped his shoulders.
