Seeing the little girl's admiration, Zhuang Ziqi was a little satisfied again, and smiled and said, "I used this to bet with people back then, but I won a lot of money."

At that time, in the banker, those uncles, even though they were older than him, were not as good as him in terms of understanding.

Moreover, when Zhuangziqi was young, he was really naughty and abnormal as Zhao Yan said. He liked to play tricks on others the most, so these little tricks were used a lot.

When talking about these, Zhuangziqi's expression was obvious.

That was what Gu Jiu had never seen before.

She felt a little sad because she smiled and said, "Who are you? Of course, you are the most powerful."

While flattering Zhuang Ziqi, Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Come on, eat the sausage sugar."

She poured out three candies and handed them to Zhuang Ziqi. Seeing that he had taken them, she put all the other small medicine bottles back into the medicine box.

Unexpectedly, when I was touching the lid, I saw a sachet falling out of it.

The sachet looks old, with hair around it, and the patterns faded, and it looks very worn.

However, such a worn sachet was hidden in the innermost part of the medicine box by Zhuang Ziqi. If she hadn't messed up the order when she was searching for the medicine bottle just now, she wouldn't have found this one.

Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, but before she could react, she saw that Zhuang Ziqi had come first, picked up the sachet, and frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

The voice was particularly stern. Gu Jiu was startled and explained quickly: "Master, don't get me wrong. I'll just help you put things back. This sachet--"

But before she finished speaking, she saw Zhuangziqi put the sachet into her sleeve with a very precious treasure, and said lightly: "It's okay, you go back first."

The man's voice was filled with alcohol, and there was still a sense of sadness that could not be hidden inside. Gu Jiu felt a little sad.

She bit her lip and nodded and responded, "Yes, Master, please rest soon."

Seeing the little girl walking out the door, Zhuang Ziqi realized what she had done and called her again: "Wait."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu turned around in confusion and asked, "Master, what else do you have to do?"

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Ziqi became more and more uncomfortable. He coughed and said, "I didn't intend to rape you. Go back and rest early."

Although he was drunk, his reaction was subconscious just now, but when he came to his senses, he knew that he had no reason.

Gu Jiu still thought it was. When he heard Zhuang Ziqi's words, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You should take a break, we still have to hurry up tomorrow."

They will set off for Lin County tomorrow morning.

After getting Gu Jiu's words, Zhuang Ziqi felt relieved and nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

After Gu Jiu left, Zhuang Ziqi took a deep breath. He didn't know what he thought of, but he took out the sachet from his sleeve by chance.

Just now, Gu Jiu glanced at it. If she looked carefully, she would find that the sachet was embroidered with a lotus embroidered on it.

That was the engagement gift given by the woman during the small detention period.

Zhuang Ziqi brushed his sachet with a gentle expression, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

After drinking, his eyes were a little turbid, and at this time he was filled with tears, bringing a little more and more sadness.

The young man Mu Ai was so happy that he almost went to the room when he got engaged.

But later, when something happened, no one knew how the young man endured it and watched his sweetheart stop hugging him.

Zhuang Ziqi sat dejectedly on the chair, with an uncontrollable longing and sadness in his expression.

When Zhao Yan asked today, Zhuang Ziqi lied.

He not only knew her current situation, but also knew that she was... alone now.

But even so, how could he really bother her?

There are enough misfortunes in this life, so why bother to implicate others?

Zhuang Ziqi covered the sachet on his chest and slowly closed his eyes.

But with the tears that fell, and the whisper that drifted with the wind: "A Yuan..."

...

The next morning, Gu Jiu woke up before dawn.

Lin County is not close to Deng County, and if you are on a fast journey, it will take about two days to walk. When Gu Jiuli was excited and couldn't sleep.

It was almost the fourth update that she forced herself to go to bed, but after the fifth update, Gu Jiu woke up again.

She couldn't sleep, so she got up and checked her small package again. After confirming that there were no items left behind, it was already bright outside.

Knowing that she was leaving, Old Mrs. Zhao was quite reluctant to leave. When she woke up early, she cooked a table full of dishes for her, which made Gu Jiu laugh and cry.

"Mother-in-law, you have made so much, and I can't finish it, right? It's such a waste."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhao felt a little sore in her nose. She sucked her nose and said, "Madam, I'm afraid that the old woman won't have the chance to cook for you. You can eat more, I'm making it according to your preference."

This table is indeed what Gu Jiu likes to eat. Although they have not been together for a long time, she can still share it if she really pretends.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu was also reluctant to leave. He mentioned his previous thoughts again and asked tentatively: "Or, mother-in-law, please go to Beijing with me. My wet nurse is about the same age as you, and someone will be your company when you go."

Yesterday, she told Mrs. Zhao about this, but the old lady refused.

Today, when she heard her mention it again, Mrs. Zhao's answer was still the same as yesterday. She waved her hand and smiled: "Thank you, Madam. I won't go to Beijing to cause trouble with you. I have to guard them here."

She lost her husband and son in her old age. She is now alone and widowed. However, she is worried, what if she leaves, what if the two people in the underworld can’t find their way home?

She had to guard here, guarding her husband and son who had no knowledge and traveled again in the old place.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Zhao's eyes became more and more sour. She took a breath and smiled and said, "Madam, when do you want to come to Deng County to play? Remember to come to me and I will make delicious food for you."

Seeing that she was determined, Gu Jiu could only nod and respond: "Okay."

After dinner, Bai Wuyuan also came to invite her, saying that he had everything cleaned up and the carriage was waiting at the door.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu responded and asked the servant to go, but he went to find Zhuangziqi and followed him to the door.

Zhuangziqi drank last night and slept soundly at night. The messy dreams made him still a little confused now.

Now that I was sunburned by the sun outside, I felt a little more awake.

"Let's go."

The servants brought their luggage into the carriage, and Gu Jiu held Bai Wuyuan and instructed: "Master, be careful to hit his head."

After getting on the carriage, Mrs. Zhao chased after her again, stuffed the two packed food boxes on the carriage, and said with a sincere smile: "Madam, these are some snacks I made yesterday, you can keep them for use on the road."

She didn't sleep all night last night and made it overnight, for fear that Gu Jiu would not be able to eat well on the way.

After all, it’s hard to travel, who would deliberately stop and send the Wudian Temple?

Seeing her like this, Gu Jiu felt a little reluctant, nodded and replied with a smile: "Thank you, mother-in-law, take care of yourself. If you have time, just go to Beijing to find me."

She was not perfunctory. Yesterday, when Mrs. Zhao said she would not go with her, Gu Jiu thought that life was not easy for her, a widowed woman, so she explained to Zhou Xuejing and asked him to take care of her normally. If Mrs. Zhao wanted to go to Beijing when she wanted to go to Beijing, she would also ask Zhou Xuejing to send her a letter in advance, so she would like to answer her.

In addition, Gu Jiu also asked Shi'antang and Baohetang doctors, and these people also accepted the old lady's care.

After hearing Gu Jiu's words, Old Mrs. Zhao nodded and responded with a smile, saying, "Don't worry, I've recorded it all. I'll go find you if I miss you one day."

The two of them exchanged greetings. Seeing that it was getting late, Old Mrs. Zhao retreated obediently and said with a smile: "Go, madam, it's a good journey."

Gu Jiu responded and ordered someone to set off.

The carriage left the county government and headed all the way to the city gate.

On the way, Gu Jiu couldn't help but lifted the curtain open in a corner and looked outside.

In just over twenty days, Deng County has changed from the scars that were originally full of wounds to the prosperous appearance now.
