The two shopkeepers left in a hurry.

The servants in the mansion were a little curious. The two shopkeepers looked surprised and excited when they first saw Mr. Gu. After the three of them stayed in the room and talked for a while, the two shopkeepers turned pale and left without even saying hello.

I don’t know what the Marquis said to the two of them in the room, but it probably wasn’t good news.

After the two shopkeepers left, Gu Qing stood in the courtyard, quietly watching the people under the command of Butler Xu clean the courtyard, wipe the pillars, and trim the branches and leaves of the garden. After the owner came back, the mansion became more alive. Gu Qing's return seemed to bring a sense of vitality to the house.

This not-so-deserted house is infused with soul.

Gu Qing looked at Butler Xu and his servants with regret.

In a few days, Butler Xu and his servants will be sent away, and the house in Chang'an will be sold. For the lives of Butler Xu and his servants, they must renounce their relationship with him in advance, otherwise the rebels will enter the city.

Their fate will be miserable in the end.

From his previous life, he knew that Anlushan would eventually break into Chang'an City. Now that there is an extra Gu Qing in this era, it can't change the outcome. At the beginning of Anlushan's rebellion, he almost swept across the north of the Yellow River in the form of a blitzkrieg, and finally broke through

Chang'an, a city with a population of over one million, howled miserably under the blades of the rebels. Many dignitaries and common people were killed by the rebels.

And Gu Qing couldn't change anything at all.

Even after Li Longji learned of An Lushan's rebellion, he sent Gu Qing back to Anxi as quickly as possible and asked him to lead troops into King Guan Qin. In the end, he would not have time to stop An Lushan from attacking Chang'an. There was simply not enough time, and before Li Longji expressed his stance,

, Gu Qing did not dare to act rashly in Chang'an. The slightest tampering would arouse Li Longji's suspicion.

So Gu Qing could only wait quietly in Chang'an City. He couldn't even show any anxiety while waiting, otherwise Li Longji would also become suspicious. He could only pretend not to know anything and wait until the incident happened before taking orders in danger.

…………

In the afternoon, an unexpected guest came to the house.

Gu Qing was writing a letter to Song Gensheng in the study. This summer, Gu Qing sent a letter to Xianyu Zhongtong. The letter mentioned in a subtle way that the current situation may have changed, and asked Xianyu Zhongtong to stick to Jiannan Road. If Jiannan can be allowed

Under the rule of Tao, people will live and work in peace and contentment, and they will surely have great wealth.

The words in the letter were mysterious, but Gu Qing knew that it was this mysterious tone that made Xian Yu Zhongtong pay more attention to him. Being secretive would always strike a deeper chord than speaking frankly.

At the same time, Gu Qing also added a few words at the end of the letter, including Song Gensheng's name, and asked Xianyu Zhongtong to take care of it. If there is a vacancy in the Yizhou Festival Mansion, he might as well arrange one for Song Gensheng. It would be better for him to stay in Shuzhou.

In the next year, it’s time for a promotion.

The letter to Xianyu Zhongtong has been sent for half a year. Xianyu Zhongtong must have arranged an official position for Song Gensheng in Yizhou Festival Mansion.

Song Gensheng's official position came from the private meddling and dealings of the bureaucratic group.

Therefore, people with moral obsessiveness cannot become officials. I don’t know how much Song Gensheng has changed today, and whether he is still as innocent as he was back then.

Although they were thousands of miles apart and had not seen each other for several years, Gu Qing still sent Song Gensheng his deep fatherly love.

At this moment, Gu Qing is writing a letter in the study to tell Song Gensheng about this. Although we are separated from each other,... Dad loves you.

As soon as I finished the last word, the timid voice of the maid came from outside the study.

A visitor came to the house, a stranger.

Gu Qing put down his pen and walked out of the backyard, only to see a woman standing pretty in the middle of the front yard. The woman was wearing an elegant palace dress, her hair was combed into a bun, and she was wearing a purple cloak on her shoulders. She was looking arrogantly

He raised his nostrils and admired the ginkgo tree in the courtyard with great interest.

Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, Gu Qing, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The woman was Princess Wanchun. The day before yesterday, she heard that Gu Qing had returned to Chang'an. She had to pick out hundreds of clothes in the palace just to appear in front of him in the most beautiful way. However, after the clothes were picked, she heard that Gu Qing had returned to Chang'an.

The next morning I went to Lishan Huaqing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit.

Wanchun had to wait for Gu Qing to return to Chang'an with disappointment. He finally found out that Gu Qing had returned to Chang'an this morning. However, he heard that Gu Qing did not come out after entering the house. Wanchun waited and waited, thinking that Gu Qing would take the initiative to visit her, but in the end

They didn't react at all, as if she were a stranger.

This is unbearable. How can he not even compare to those two wild girls from the Zhang family? I heard that when he first returned to Chang'an, he was having a banquet at Li Twelve Niang's house, chatting with the Zhang sisters.

But you treat her as a princess like nothing?

The furious Princess Wanchun finally lost her temper and took the initiative to come to Gu Qing's house.

Seeing Gu Qing bowing to her, Wan Chun hummed, his expression was rather cold, and he quickly glanced at Gu Qing's face. His cheeks were slightly red, but he still maintained an indifferent and arrogant look.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but he still seems... to be unhappy, but a little stronger than before. Training in the military can really change a person a lot.

Like a young girl in love, Wan Chun glanced at Gu Qing quietly and immediately averted his gaze, but at this glance he saw everything that should be seen, such as the slightly bulging chest muscles, the strong arms hidden in the sleeves, such as

Slightly tanned skin...

Trying hard to maintain an indifferent expression, Wan Chun's cheeks became increasingly red, as he thought of some embarrassing scene.

Gu Qing saluted for a long time, but didn't see any response from Wan Chun, so he couldn't help but look up at her curiously.

This woman is so cute, she doesn't speak or move. Why don't you come to my house to pose in broad daylight?

As I said, I haven't seen her for several years, and Gua Po Niang is as fair as ever.

"Your Highness Princess!" Gu Qing shouted violently.

Wan Chun was so frightened that he exclaimed with pale face. Just in time to meet Gu Qing's curious eyes, Wan Chun was immediately panicked and managed to trim his hair while forcing himself to be calm.

"Uh, I passed by your house...uh, your mansion."

Gu Qing blinked blankly, so what? Are you playing a game and using my house as a temporary blood replenishment point?

"Your Highness, you're so complimentary. You're welcome. My residence is not expensive at all. It is commonly known as a 'humble house'." Gu Qing chatted dryly and without any nourishment.

Wan Chun curled up the corner of his mouth and was about to laugh, but he didn't know what he thought of, so he quickly straightened his face, maintaining the princess's proud posture.

"My great presence has made your humble abode shine. Why don't you invite me to come in and have a seat? There is no banquet, singing or dancing, and I don't understand any rules." Wanchun raised his nostrils and looked at the sky, as if talking to God.

Challenge.

Gu Qing was astonished. There was something wrong with Mrs. Gua's brain. She had never seen someone so incapable of chatting.

What are you saying about "coming here" and "bringing brilliance"? Is this what you should say? With such a distinguished status, it's better to hire someone who will compliment you.

The queen of nightclubs lives up to her name, and she is always thinking about partying, singing and dancing during the day.

Gu Qing smiled bitterly and said: "Your Highness, I forgive you. There are banquets at any time, but there is no kabuki troupe in my residence, which is disappointing to Your Highness."

Wan Chun glanced at him in surprise: "You are a county magistrate, but there are no kabuki performers in the mansion?"

"Those who entertain people with dance will eventually decline in their skills; those who serve others with sex will eventually decline in sex. I don't want to have more miserable women in my house."

Wan Chun couldn't help but look at him seriously. After a moment, his pretty face turned red and he whispered: "You are indeed different."

The voice was very low, like a whisper, but Gu Qing heard it clearly and couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard the words.

If I tell you that I am still a virgin, I am afraid that you will think that I am very moist even more.

"Your Highness, please come to the front hall of my humble residence." Gu Qing bowed politely to greet you.

Wan Chun hummed and said arrogantly: "I will reluctantly take a rest in your house."

Just as they were about to enter the front hall, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door. Gu Qing and Wan Chun turned around in shock, only to see a wisp of black smoke passing by. Zhang Huaijin had already rushed in front of Gu Qing. In front of the stone steps of the door, Zhang Huaiyu was smiling and looking helpless.

looked at her.

"Brother Gu, take me to eat barbecue quickly. The meat grilled by the Hu people, I also want to drink Sanlejiang!" Zhang Huaijin said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Huaijin suddenly spotted Princess Wanchun next to Gu Qing. He was shocked and took a few steps back. He pointed at Wanchun and blurted out: "Is it you? You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, are bad... wuwu."

Zhang Huaiyu behind him seemed to know what she was going to say, and his eyes quickly covered her mouth with his hands, while Zhang Huaijin struggled in her arms.

When Wan Chun saw the Zhang sisters, his pretty face immediately turned cold. He snorted angrily, turned his head and looked away, his posture becoming more and more arrogant.

Gu Qing sighed, I just returned to Chang'an, can't you let me relax for a few days? What's going on now? Three women fighting for a husband?

The husband you are fighting for is still a virgin, who will solve the most practical problem?

The arrival of the Zhang sisters immediately made Wan Chun lose interest in the banquet, so he stopped outside the front hall and glared at Gu Qing with a frosty expression.

"Marquis Gu County, does the armor I gave you still fit you?" Wan Chun asked coldly, glancing at the Zhang sisters with a provocative look in his eyes.

The Zhang sisters looked at Gu Qing, who smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the armor. The armor fits you very well."

Wan Chun hummed and said, "You don't have to thank me. I picked them up from anywhere in the palace. If you think they fit you, wear them to fight for your father and conquer the world and defend the country."

Zhang Huaijin said in shock: "Brother Gu, why do you want to wear the armor she gave you? Sister A and I can also give you armor!"

Then Zhang Huaijin asked Zhang Huaiyu: "How much does a pair of armor cost? Sister, let's ask the best craftsmen to make one for Brother Gu, so that we don't have to wear things picked up by others. How unpleasant it is."

While talking, Zhang Huaijin took out a small bag from his arms and poured out more than a dozen coins and a few small silver nuggets the size of his thumb. Then Zhang Huaijin held the money and looked at Gu Qing expectantly.

He said: "Is this enough money? If not, let me raise some more..."

Zhang Huaiyu, dumbfounded, dragged her behind him, saluted Wanchun and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me. My sister-in-law does not know the etiquette, and Your Highness is laughing at her."

Wan Chun's face softened slightly, and he glared at Gu Qing angrily.

Gu Qing was stared at in confusion.
