my grandmother

Wan Qing jumped up, Li Xiaonan stretched her neck, swallowed the mochi in her mouth, and followed Wan Qing to meet her.

Gu Yan paused, glanced sideways at the two, and after a moment, raised his foot forward, motioning for the two to follow.

Turning a corner, I entered the Linshui Nuan Pavilion not far from Gu Yan's courtyard. Gu Yan entered the Nuan Pavilion, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the servant to wipe his hands, looked at Li Xiaonan and asked: "Come to look for me? Or look for me?" Wanqing talk?"

"Looking for you, I have something to do."

With a sigh of relief, he looked up at the hourglass in the corner of the Nuan Pavilion, "Did you come over after dinner?"

"No."

"Did you order the kitchen to prepare Miss Li's dinner? How did you order it?" Gu Yan looked at Wan Qing.

Wan Qing opened her mouth, but no words came out.

"How did you order it?" Gu Yan immediately asked.

"Master Hui, that one, come with me, that one, steamed a piece of white water fish."

"I made an agreement with Wanqing to eat her regular dishes with her." Li Xiaonan answered.

"Do you know that Miss Li is here to look for me?" Gu Yan ignored Li Xiaonan and asked Wan Qing with a cold face.

"Yes." Wan Qing lowered her head with her hands down.

She was wrong!
"She came to talk to you, you invited her to eat your regular dish, that's right, she came to me, you invited her to eat your regular dish? What about the rules?" Gu Yan continued.

"Yes, maidservant is wrong." Wan Qing hastily knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Two months' money will be deducted. Go and tell the kitchen to cook some of Miss Li's favorite food and send it here." Gu Yan snorted.

Li Xiaonan looked at Wan Qing sympathetically.

It really makes sense, but she really didn't expect it, and Wan Qing certainly didn't either.

Alas, there are too many and cumbersome rules for a wealthy family, no wonder Wan Qing is so careful, as long as she is not careful, she will have to deduct the monthly fee!

Wan Qing backed out in disgrace, Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan, "What happened?"

"Huh? Ah, yes."

Li Xiaonan was feeling sorry for Wan Qing's monthly money, she hurriedly withdrew her mind and got down to business.

"Just now my Tang Weng came over and said that he had received the message from Mr. He's shopkeeper in the morning and invited him to Zhaoyue Tower in Linhai Town. Mr. He told Tang Weng that if there is not enough money to harvest the autumn silkworm cocoons, he will pay for it from their He family. I also said that their He family is a member of the royal family, and harvesting autumn silkworm cocoons is related to your errand.

"Tang Weng felt that something had to be said. When you came out of Linhai Town, just go to me directly, and I came over."

Gu Yan let out an oh in surprise.

"You didn't expect that?" Li Xiaonan asked sharply.

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, and said carefully, "He Chengze is an old fox. He claims to be a member of the Wang's family, but I always feel that he doesn't feel that he is under the Wang's family."

"You seem to have said it once." Li Xiaonan thought for a while.

"He Chengze gave you such a great help, don't you have to thank him in person?" Gu Yan looked at Li Xiaonan and smiled.

"How do you want me to thank you?" Li Xiaonan looked at Gu Yan and asked.

"Talk to him, and take a look for me." Gu Yan was straightforward.

"Okay." Li Xiaonan responded even more simply.

Gu Yan was slightly surprised. For a moment, he stretched his head forward, looked at Li Xiaonan carefully, and said with a smile: "You used to have to bargain for everything, why are you so good now?"

"It used to be a private matter. You asked me to teach you spells or something. You can't teach it for nothing, right? Now it's your errand. This is a business matter. If you fail to do this business, it will be the people in Jiangnan that will harm us. Own."

Li Xiaonan sighed.

"I thought our friendship was deeper than before." Gu Yan said slowly.

"Brothers have to settle accounts!"

"It's reasonable for my brother to settle accounts clearly. Since this is the case, I will give you a gift if you come this way."

"No need for this matter." Li Xiaonan waved her hand.

"This errand can't be handled well. I'm the one who caused the disaster first. It's a business matter, and it's also my private matter." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"What's wrong with you? If it goes well, you're the prince's son, but if it's not good, you're still the prince's son. Apart from rebellion, your Prince Rui's residence won't harm the prince's residence, right?" Li Xiaonan sighed again.

"If you don't harm the Wangjue Palace, it doesn't mean that you don't harm me. If I die, I will choose another person to inherit the Wangjue. Where did you hear these gossips? How dare you even talk about rebellion?"

"Okay, we're done talking, it's time to say goodbye." Li Xiaonan talked about it from left to right.

"Wan Qing told you to leave after dinner?" Gu Yan continued to ask.

"Who doesn't know this, why do you need others to tell me, there are a lot of legends about your palace in Pingjiang City, gossip, floating around, who knows who told whom." Li Xiaonan called Stupid.

Gu Yan glanced at her sideways, and then snorted for a moment.

Nine and a half out of ten of the gossip that fell into her ears were said by that idiot Wan Qing!

The kitchen quickly delivered dinner, and Gu Yan signaled Shi Gun to put the plate of steamed white water fish in front of Li Xiaonan.

After eating, Li Xiaonan drank two sips of tea, then stood up and said goodbye.

"I'll take you back." Gu Yan followed suit and stood up.

"No, no, just let Wan Qing see me off, you are so busy." Li Xiaonan waved her hands hastily.

He sent her back, which was too much noise, but, seeing how he looked, it was just a polite word.

"Okay, I'll take you to the door." Gu Yan gestured to Li Xiaonan.

After leaving Nuan Pavilion, Gu Yan asked, "Are you going to Linhai Town tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"It will take a whole day to go there and back. You can just come to Bieye and wait for me. What do you want to eat tomorrow? Let the kitchen prepare early."

"Squirrel mandarin fish."

"Hey! You're really welcome." Gu Yan laughed.

Li Xiaonan glanced at him sideways, but said nothing.

"Just the same squirrel mandarin fish? What else? Shrimp? Crab?" Gu Yan asked with a smile.

"Shrimps are out of season, and crabs are still a little early."

"You are really particular." Gu Yan clicked his tongue.

Li Xiaonan gave Gu Yan another sideways look, and ignored him.

"What thank you gift do you want? Shall I give you a hairpin?" Gu Yan changed the subject.

"No, squirrel mandarin fish is a thank you."

"How about I give Wanqing to you."

"No, I can't afford it." Li Xiaonan flatly refused.

Gu Yan looked at her with raised eyebrows, and for a moment, burst out laughing.

"A squirrel mandarin fish is too perfunctory. Since you don't want anything at the moment, you can send it first. I owe you a favor. You can ask for it whenever you want."

"Can you stop deducting Wan Qingyue's money?" Li Xiaonan hesitated, looked at Gu Yan and asked.

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, and after a while, he let out a long sigh, "You still have to buckle, otherwise the rules will be messed up.

"However, for the sake of serving you wholeheartedly, give her five taels of silver. It's much more than her two months' money! Is that okay?"

"Thank you." Li Xiaonan smiled.
