The current Deng County town looks a little more prosperous than when they left before, indicating that the newly appointed county magistrate is very responsible.

When I was in Deng County, because Qin Zheng was busy with official duties, he did not accompany Gu Jiu to stroll around. Now that I plan to repair it for a day, I just take her out for a walk in the evening.

It can also be regarded as making up for previous regrets.

After getting Qin Zheng's words, Gu Jiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded with a smile and said, "Then your husband must keep his word."

Hearing her words, Qin Zheng couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "When did I lied to you, don't worry."

As he said, he touched Gu Jiu's head and ordered the coachman to set off.

Gu Jiu has not had a good rest these days, and he has become more and more tired after rushing to travel in the past two days.

After following Qin Zheng back to the station, the servants brought hot water.

Qin Zheng had some instructions, so he went out first. Gu Jiuzi went to wash and then went to bed.

She couldn't sleep well all the way, and she was always a bed-recognizable person. Even though she was lying on the bed, she woke up after only half an hour of sleep.

When he heard the voice outside, Gu Jiu thought he had heard it wrong at first, so he could get up and open the door, and then smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, it's really you."

Just now, she heard the sound of talking like Old Mrs. Zhao, but when she didn't want to come out, she found that it was really her.

Old Mrs. Zhao was sharing food for everyone. When she saw Gu Jiu coming down, she quickly greeted her with a smile: "Please pay tribute to your wife, but I'm disturbing you to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "No, when did my mother-in-law come, and I don't ask anyone to go up and call me."

She said as she went downstairs and saw that Old Mrs. Zhao had brought half a car of things, and now she was unloading the guards.

Seeing this, Gu Jiufu smiled again and said, "What are you doing, why did you accept it?"

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly explained: "Madam, don't misunderstand this is not a valuable thing. I made a few snacks and meals, and prepared everyone for dinner. There was no expensive at all, and they were all cooked. If you take it back, the old woman couldn't eat it alone, so she could only watch them get moldy."

As far as she said this, Gu Jiu could only accept it with helpless smile. While winking at Su Chen, he quietly pointed out some purse, and told him to remember to give money to Mrs. Zhao after moving it.

"It's a hot day, mother-in-law, please don't stand and sit for a while. Su Chen, go and cook a pot of tea."

After Gu Jiu's instructions, Su Chen told people to continue moving things, but he went with a smile.

Gu Jiu pulled Mrs. Zhao to sit on the chair next to her, and then smiled and said, "How did my mother-in-law know that we were here?"

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhao immediately smiled and said, "It's a coincidence. Madam, your carriage happened to pass by my shop. When the old woman saw it, she asked."

Before, she helped Gu Jiu and the others cook. Before leaving, Gu Jiu stuffed her silver.

Old Mrs. Zhao used this money to open a breakfast shop by herself. Although it was not a prosperous business, she had no worries about eating and drinking, and she could save some money.

Two months ago, Mrs. Zhao never even dared to think about such a day.

It was already a luxury to let her see corrupt officials committing punishment. How could she have thought about the current situation?

Old Mrs. Zhao knew who brought these. In addition, Gu Jiu had said before that she would pass by Deng County on the way back, so she paid attention to it every day and saved a lot of food and food early, so she prepared for them.

Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Gu Jiu couldn't help but smile and said, "You have opened a shop now? Where is the business? Is the business okay?"

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhao immediately smiled and said, "It's not far from the city gate. The location is not too prosperous, but because most of the people who work are passing by, the business is good. However, the old woman is old and has no energy, so she only sells breakfast. What will the lady want to eat tomorrow morning? I'll give you it."

Before, Gu Jiu liked the meals she made very much.

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiu laughed more and more: "That won't be possible. You have opened a shop, I have to go over and taste it myself."

As soon as she said this, she saw Su Chen bringing a pot of tea over, so she poured tea for Old Lady Zhao and smiled and said, "Mother-in-law drinks tea."

Old Mrs. Zhao took it over and thanked her: "It's not possible. Madam, just sit down, the old woman will come by herself."

Gu Jiu sat down and talked for a while, and then saw Bai Wuyuan walking in from outside.

He seemed to have not expected so many people in the hall. He paused at first, and then he smiled perfectly: "Grandma Zhao, I haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

Seeing that the person coming was Bai Wuyuan, Old Mrs. Zhao immediately stood up and smiled gratefully: "Thank you for your care, everything is fine now, I would like to pay tribute to you."

Seeing this, Bai Wuyuan nodded, smiled and greeted a few times, and said, "My mother-in-law has some things to do, so I won't disturb you."

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhao quickly smiled and said, "Sir, please."

Bai Wuyuan responded, greeted Gu Jiu again, and then turned around and walked onto the stairs.

But when he passed by Gu Jiu, Gu Jiu's expression was stunned.

A clay sculpture with the appearance of a flower-like actress hung around his waist, which was obviously new and different from the last time he hung it.

She thought for a moment, and then she heard Mrs. Zhao talking, and then came back to her senses and chatted with her with a smile.

On the contrary, Bai Wuyuan, after going upstairs, the smile on his face completely disappeared, leaving only a bit of sad and gloom left.

After entering the room, Bai Wuyuan closed the door with his backhand, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

The downstairs is very lively, making the room more quiet.

It took him a long time to calm down, and he walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in one breath.

The tea is cold, and I don’t know how long it has been stored here. Because he only stayed for one night, his luggage was basically in the car, and only a suitcase was placed in the room. It must have been the guard who helped him put it.

Bai Wuyuan sat on the chair, but heard the sound of a crisp collision when the back of the chair touched something.

It's his clay sculpture.

He realized that he remembered his ornament and hurriedly took it off, but when he lowered his eyes, he was a little stunned.

This was just now, he went to buy it.

To be precise, since that night, after the clay sculpture was thrown, Bai Wuyuan seemed to have a piece of his mind missing.

It was obvious that the clay sculpture had been with me for only a few days, but it was smashed by Chunxiao with his own hands, and it seemed like a crack was drawn in Bai Wuyuan's heart.

No matter who he faces during the day, he looks unhindered, but only Bai Wuyuan himself knows that it is different.

So after coming to Deng County, his first reaction was to go find the clay sculpture craftsman and buy a new one.

Even though it wasn't the one before, looking at this clay sculpture that was almost the same as Chunxiao, it was all his thoughts.

Even though Bai Wuyuan knew it clearly, his little thoughts were more selfish and guilty.

What a hypocritical person, even expressing his longing is mixed with secret thoughts that cannot be told.

Bai Wuyuan laughed at himself, but couldn't help but press the clay sculpture to his heart.

The heartbeat there was strong and powerful, as if to show that he was still alive.

But what is alive is just a shell.

Bai Wuyuan has long been dead.

...

In the evening, Gu Jiu ordered someone to send Mrs. Zhao back, and he was preparing to go shopping with Qin Zheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the door, he was greeted by the little medicine boy from Shi'antang and smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, Mrs. Qin, my master wants to invite you to have dinner together in the evening."

Knowing that Zhuang Ziqi was there, Gu Jiu was not in a position to refuse, so he agreed with a smile.

But the plan to go shopping with Qin Zheng at night was interrupted.

After I got Shi'antang, I realized that the banquet was ready and I was just waiting for the couple to come.

After everyone greeted each other first, they heard Zhao Yan laughing and said, "It's rare to be together again. I prepared a banquet for someone and asked Lord Qin and Mrs. Qin not to dislike him."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng bowed and said, "Seniors give me a banquet, so how can I dislike you?"

After hearing what he said, Zhao Yan didn't dare to take it seriously, so he just smiled and invited them to the table.
