NOVEL NEXT Chapter 228: I don't want to pollute my eyes
Xiang Yunqi stayed until his mother fell asleep before walking out of the bedroom. However, his expression could no longer pretend to be relaxed and harmless as usual. He looked like a handsome gentleman, but now he looked very gloomy.
"Serve mother well." He glanced gloomily at Momo Qiu who was very proud in front of mother, and left the main courtyard of the palace with Yunqi in panic.
He wanted to go back to his room, but turned around and walked towards Yunjin's yard. The eldest brother is back, and as the younger brother, he should go and say hello. Before he reached the door, Xiang Yunqi's happy laughter could be heard inside.
"Brother, Qi'er heard you were back as soon as he got home. He was so happy. Why didn't you send someone back to tell me so that Qi'er could go and greet you, brother?"
As the voice was spoken, there was the sound of the servant knocking on the door. The words "big brother" made Xiang Yunjin, who was writing in the study, stop writing with his pen in disgust. Ink drops fell on the silk cocoon paper, and a piece of calligraphy that was almost completed was wasted.
He looked towards the gate with a sinister look in his eyes and said, "Gao Xing."
"I know" Gao Xing ran out quickly.
While running, he shouted, "I'm here, stop knocking, who is it at this time? The prince has already gone to bed, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Brother Gao Xing, it's me, Xiaoji. The second young master heard that the prince has returned, so he came to see him."
Hearing this, Gao Xing, no matter how unhappy he was, quickly opened the door and the 'Second Young Master' bowed politely.
"Second Young Master, you came at an untimely time. The Young Master has already taken a break and is now fast asleep."
"Brother, have taken a rest? Well, I was inconsiderate enough when you tired from the long journey. I heard that he were assassinated. Is he okay?" Xiang Yunqi looked into the courtyard with pretended concern.
"Thank you for your concern, Second Young Master. The court doctor has examined the prince and found that he is fine."
"I'm glad he okay. Now that he rested, I'll come to visit you again tomorrow." Xiang Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, smiled good-temperedly as usual, and turned around.
"Goodbye, Second Young Master." Gao Xing shouted, and the moment he turned from Xiang Yunqi, his face turned dark and he closed the door.
"Gone." Xiang Yunjin's slightly cold voice came from inside the room.
"My Lord, already gone." Gao Xing said as he walked into the hall.
"Sir, why don't you meet the Second Young Master? You should let him see how well the Sir looks and piss him off to death."
"Childish, that's not to pollute my eyes. I'm in a good mood today and don't want to ruin it."
"Your Highness is right. Such a person should not pollute your eyes." Gao Xing changed sides without any principles.
"Okay, continue grinding the ink."
"Ok" he walked forward happily.
…
The next day, Gulan, who had had enough sleep, got up refreshed. Gulan thought she would have insomnia at night after sleeping for a whole afternoon, but she fell asleep without realizing it while lying on the bed.
After his mother got up, AnAn also stood up alertly. He wanted to be as powerful as his mother, and he was not just talking. Even though his mother felt sorry for him and asked him to sleep a little longer, the little guy still got up stubbornly and followed his mother in practicing martial arts in the yard.
Also there were Daya and Erya. Especially Daya, who came earlier. When Gulan got up, the hot water was already boiled. Next was breakfast, which was not too complicated, just light millet porridge with an omelet and some mixed side dishes.
Worried about the two sisters, Gulan found the guards left by Xiang Yunjin and asked them to help invite Liu Lin. Gulan didn't know how to apply for a contract of sale. She knew that she had to trouble Liu Lin with the matter of settling down there, as both involved dealing with the government. Gulan immediately thought of him.
Liu Lin arrived very quickly, and in less than half an hour he appeared in the East Courtyard where Gulan was.
As soon as they met, he bowed to Gulan and said, "Mr. Gu, why did you rush to ask me to come here? What's the matter?"
He was about to go to the government office when he was blocked at the door by the guards who had been summoned. He did not dare to delay and rode his horse over.
"I do have something to trouble you with. On the way, I took in two little girls and wanted to get two indentures, but I'm not familiar with Yunzhou City, so..." At this point, Gulan smiled embarrassedly.
"So that's what this is. It's easy to do. Just leave it to me. But first you need to write two indentures and have the two girls put their fingerprints on them."
He was a little nervous at first, but when he heard it was such a simple thing, he agreed immediately.
Next, she asked the housekeeper for pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Liu Lin started writing. It's better for her to not show off her calligraphy which is only slightly better than scribbles.
Next, Daya and Erya pressed their fingerprints on the important parts of the deed, and then went to the government to keep a copy and stamp it. It was a death contract that was signed. Although the two girls were very good and sensible, the death contract made Gulan feel more at ease. Then, amid Gulan's thanks, Liu Lin hurried to the government office.
Having rested yesterday, Gulan was in a good mood as she no longer had to worry about the household registration and the indenture. She planned to take the children for a stroll in the city as she had little time to spare for the rest of the day. The children can broaden their horizons and I can also learn more about Yunzhou City.
As soon as the housekeeper heard that she was going out, he immediately sent a carriage and a servant to lead the way. One of the two guards left by Xiang Yunjin also followed.
Gulan did not refuse. It would be good to have someone to guide her, after all, she was unfamiliar with the place. They soon arrived at the busiest street in the carriage, which was the central street of the state capital.
The central street at the beginning of the Si hour is the busiest time of the day. The streets are bustling with people, and the sounds of talking, hawking, and soliciting customers interweave into a cheerful song, making it extremely lively. In such a lively place, you naturally have to get off the carriage and walk around slowly to experience the fun of shopping.
While walking, they listened to the servant's introduction. When they saw something of interest, Gulan and her three children would stop to look at it for a while. They were not stingy when they saw something they liked, and soon the servant's hands were full of things.
"Sir, this is the largest bookstore in Yunzhou. It's hard to say how small it is, but it is said that the collection of books here is the most complete in the city." Seeing Master Gu stop, the servant introduced him cleverly.
It turned out to be the largest bookstore in Yunzhou, no wonder it was so large. It has four floors alone, which should be considered one of the tallest buildings in Yunzhou City.
My son has memorized the Thousand Character Classic by heart, and he can recognize most of the Hundred Family Names. It's time to buy him some more books, and also prepare some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. We can't just let my son practice calligraphy on the ground all the time.
As for myself, my calligraphy is really not good. I practiced for two years when I was little, but that was when I was very young and I had already returned it to the teacher a long time ago. It's time for her to pick up her calligraphy again. She doesn't ask for any great results, as long as she can show it to others. At least she doesn't have to rely on others when she needs to write. With this in mind, copying calligraphy is essential. Gulan didn't hesitate and pulled her son into the bookstore.
A waiter in the bookstore saw the customer coming and immediately came forward to greet him warmly.
"Hello everyone, sir, I don't see you before. Is this your first time here? What book do you need? I can help you find the way." The guy was very observant and could tell at a glance that Gulan was the leader among the group.
"Young man, you have good eyesight. This is indeed my first time here. Thank you for your help. I need some books for children's enlightenment." Gulan was not polite. With someone leading the way, he saved the time of searching.
"No trouble, no trouble. I have the introductory book. Please follow me, young master."
When he heard that the man really came to buy books, the clerk's smile became even brighter. He hurried to lead the way. At the same time, he felt very comfortable in his heart. The young man's words made people feel comfortable, and there was no contempt in his words.
