Chapter 005 The Nine Emperors Uncle Returns to Beijing

"Have you heard? Uncle Nine Emperors is going back to Beijing."

"He's not always out, what's going on?"

"What's there to say about an idle prince?"

"I heard that you are not from Gu'an City. This Nine Emperors Uncle followed the general on the battlefield at the age of ten and made great achievements..."

Gu Beichen listened to the discussion outside the carriage and looked at Mu Li sitting beside him.

Mu Li was still cold and taciturn. She hardly spoke during the whole journey. The only words she occasionally said were to tease the cat in her arms.

Jun Mobai's carriage followed not far away, and a sneer appeared on his face at the comments on the street.

"Master, these people are so strange, they seem to know a lot about Uncle Nine Emperors." Xiao Si leaned against the door curtain with a look of disdain.

Jun Mobai remained silent.

Xiaosi looked at him and fell into a trance. For some reason, the figure of Miss Muli flashed before his eyes. The master's cold look looked a bit like that girl.

Gu Beichen had always known that someone was following him, and he knew it was the master and servant without having to guess, but he couldn't figure out why.

Entering the main street of Gu'an City, Gu Beichen gave some instructions to the driver. The carriage drove for a while, then turned right and entered an alley.

"Master, they turned a corner." Xiao Si lay on the window sill and said what he saw without looking back.

"Go and keep an eye on it and report it to me at any time." Jun Mobai said coldly.

"Who are you looking at?" Xiaosi pretended to be confused.

Jun Mobai glanced coldly, Xiaosi chuckled stupidly, and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage.

The figure soared into the sky and quickly disappeared.

"Let's go." Jun Mobai ordered.

The coachman didn't ask where he was going. He seemed to be very familiar with the route.

The carriage in front stopped at a house.

"Mu Li, this is the courtyard of one of my distant relatives in Gu'an City. They are not here, but there are servants cleaning it." Gu Beichen did not hide it. Someone did clean the courtyard. As for whose courtyard it is, it is unknown.

Mu Li nodded and followed him out of the carriage.

Gu Beichen wanted to reach out to help her, but unexpectedly, Mu Li jumped out of the carriage.

Gu'an City was the capital city Gu Beichen mentioned, and it was also the place where he was going to take the exam.

Gu Beichen took some silver and gave it to the driver, "Thank you for your work, uncle. Come in and have a rest. We will go back tomorrow."

The coachman thanked him profusely.

Mu Li followed Gu Beichen into the courtyard.

Gu Beichen didn't stop until he entered the third courtyard.

Mu Li looked at the courtyard wall. This should be the courtyard at the back.

"Mu Li, you stay here, and I will arrange servants for you in the rooms on the left and right." Gu Beichen smiled warmly, he was so considerate, he seemed like an elder brother.

"Thank you, Mu Li." This time she didn't nod, but said four more words.

Gu Beichen felt depressed for a while, but he couldn't express it.

A little melancholy and a little more silent.

He was still smiling, "Mu Li, don't be formal, treat this place as your home, from now on you will be the lady of this house, tell Uncle Chen what you want to do." Gu Beichen said while looking at the middle-aged man beside him.

"What the young master said is that if the girl has anything to do, you can always give her orders. I am the housekeeper of this house. Just call me Uncle Chen." The middle-aged man had a peaceful face and seemed to be easy to get along with.

Just like Gu Beichen, he is extremely polite.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen." Mu Li said few words, and although his tone was calm, it was less cold.

Gu Beichen was secretly surprised.

Uncle Chen showed Mu Li his room. Mu Li was serious but listened to Uncle Chen's introduction very cooperatively.

Uncle Chen talked a lot about food and clothing, and he was very verbose, like a wet nurse.

Mu Li thought of the word 'nanny' and felt a headache come on again for some reason.

Uncle Chen thought she was tired from traveling and traveling, "Miss, please rest. If you need anything, call Uncle Chen."

Mu Li nodded coldly, not wanting others to see her embarrassment.

"Sir, the young lady has settled down." The housekeeper arranged for Mu Li and came to report to Gu Beichen.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. In the next few days, I will start preparing for the national examination. If Miss Mu Li wants to go out, please send more people to follow her to avoid any accidents." Gu Beichen thought that if Mu Li insisted on leaving the house, he should

Make arrangements early.

When Uncle Chen saw the young master's happy face, he always felt that this Miss Muli? Hehe, maybe she is the young master's beloved.

"Uncle Chen, why are you laughing?" Gu Beichen asked, with beautiful eyes and a smile.

"It's nothing. Don't worry, sir, I will take good care of Miss Mu Li." Uncle Chen smiled innocently, full of sincerity.

"I've said it many times, don't call yourself an old slave. There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Gu'an City. You have to be careful in everything. I just came to Beijing to take the exam. I must be the top scorer in high school. You go down, there won't be a next time."

Beichen put away his smile, and his tone was light but cold.

Uncle Chen replied "yes" and stepped back.

While Gu Beichen was rushing to warm up his book, Mu Li stayed in the yard when she had nothing to do. She couldn't think of anything. Her cold eyes made it difficult for people to get close to her. Fortunately, she had a good appearance and wasn't annoying.

Gu Beichen specifically asked Uncle Chen to arrange for the only old lady in the house to serve Mu Li.

Mu Li didn't have any objections, everything was casual.

With a cold and slightly dull face, there is really nothing much to tell.

The old lady asked Mu Li to call her Ma Chen, but Mu Li did not object and nodded in response.

Mother Chen was a little puzzled by this girl who didn't like to talk, but she didn't feel like asking too many questions.

The servants have no part in the master's affairs.

"Mu Li, if you feel bored staying at home, you can ask Mother Chen to accompany you for a walk on the street. This ancient town in Gu'an is not a bit better than the ancient town of Luocheng. If you like suitable fabrics, you can also ask Mother Chen to arrange it.

"Gu Beichen saw that she was staying at home, so he came over to give her instructions.

Mu Li raised his head and glanced at him, "Okay."

Chen Ma was a little excited. This girl was finally willing to speak. The young master was so awesome. At least she heard the word "good".

Chen Ma led Mu Li to the street, and the housekeeper, Uncle Chen, arranged for two servants to follow them. They were two and a half young men, about the same age as Gu Beichen. They looked about seventeen or eighteen, but they looked handsome.

Mu Li hugged her cute cat and walked out.

The folk customs in Gu'an City are open, and there are many men and women on the street. There is nothing covering the cheeks of boys and girls, and they are all bare-faced.

Mu Li walked with her head down. Occasionally, when Ma Chen said something, she would take a look. It turned out that here was a pastry seller and there was a hairdresser. However, she just glanced at it coldly, then quickly looked away and continued to move forward with her head down.

Say nothing.

Chen Ma really couldn't stand it. Miss Mu Li was so beautiful, but she was too cold. Why did the young master fall in love with such a cold beauty?

Looking at this girl, she seems a little stupid.

Hey, I can’t figure it out!

I simply didn’t want to think about it anymore. There was a cloth shop in front of me. I quickly went in and took a look. My legs were getting thin from walking around. This cold beauty didn’t have anything to say. She was really suffocating me to death!

Finally arriving at Buzhuang, Chen's mother directly pulled her in without consulting Mu Li.

"Shopkeeper, take out the better cloth and have a look. My young lady is going to make some clothes." Mother Chen greeted the shopkeeper, who looked like she was an old acquaintance.

Mu Li didn't look at them. The cat in his arms twisted a little, and Mu Li touched its head.

"Miss, that cat is so cute, petite and smart, cute and adorable. It's so beautiful." A little maid shouted.
