Chapter 105 Investigation
"Madam, this mansion is really too dirty, and it feels like it will leak if it rains. The former magistrate's family had no money, so they didn't repair the mansion properly."
"Do you think there is money in a place like this? I guess they don't want to spend extra money to renovate this place. Just live here if you can. Find someone to fix it up quickly, otherwise our family won't be comfortable living here."
In the afternoon, the decorators came and renovated the room very well, and even Gu Yao gave some suggestions.
They are going to live here forever, so this yard needs to be decorated well to avoid being depressed when it rains and thunders.
They also separated from the people from the escort agency and gave the agency a lot of silver and money. After all, the escort agency played a big role in their safe arrival here.
She also asked the escort agency to bring a few letters back to the capital for her, after all, she had relatives there.
Moreover, she would have to go back in the future, so she didn't want to lose contact with the news in the capital.
After the escort agency left, Gu Yao started walking around the yard.
She lives here, wants to learn more, and also takes the servants out for a stroll.
There is a lot of wind and sand in Shicheng. After all, it is in the north and there are sometimes gusts of wind and a lot of dust.
Although this street is not very deserted, there is nothing new either.
The clothes of the people here are all gray, probably because of the heavy wind and dust, so the people here don’t want to wear brightly colored clothes.
Moreover, although the people here are not pale and thin, they are not very rich overall and are probably too poor.
After seeing these, Gu Yao understood what was going on. She thought that although she came here to escape the turmoil in the capital, she didn't want to come here in vain.
Now that she has arrived at this position, she must fulfill her responsibilities and not sit idle at her post. Too much idleness will make her feel guilty.
At this time, she saw a restaurant on the left side of the street. It was only two stories high, but she thought the fragrance inside was quite good.
After entering, I looked at the flow of people. Although it was average, it was already very high compared to other stores.
"Excuse me, sir, do you want to go to the second floor or the first floor?"
Gu Yao turned around and said with a smile: "Let's go to the second floor. Is there a seat by the window?"
"There is a window seat on the second floor. I'll take you up there, sir."
There were shared tables on the first floor, and several private rooms on the second floor. Of course, she wanted to stay in a private room near the window, which would allow her to see a large part of the scenery.
After Gu Yao entered, she ordered the restaurant's specialties. However, it seemed that there were not many specialties in this restaurant. After thinking about it, she ordered their signature dish.
Then the waiter brought her another pot of tea, which was also okay and sweet, but not as good as the tea she usually drank.
I think the price is quite suitable, not too high nor too expensive, and most people can still afford it.
Looking at the scenery from upstairs, I thought that Shicheng is not prosperous but has a kind of ancient beauty.
Looking at this scenery, I thought that watching the sunset in the morning should be beautiful too. I will take some time to watch the sunset in the morning.
After about ten minutes, the dishes she ordered were no longer good.
So it’s indeed ok, most of them are home-cooked dishes, and they look similar.
The meal didn’t cost much, but Gu Yao enjoyed it very much.
Although it is not as good as the capital, she is quite used to it. After all, she also came from a poor family.
Then I took a walk outside and watched an acrobatic show. I felt very relaxed and there was nothing wrong with being outside.
She could see scenery that was different from that in Beijing, and she had seen a lot of it when she went studying abroad before.
She will have to live in Shicheng for many years, so she will definitely have to make some political achievements, which will at least give her some confidence.
Gu Yao went back in the afternoon towards dusk. Afterwards, she found that the yard was different. It was cleaned very well and the walls had been painted.
She didn't expect that these people were so good at action. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before this yard could be considered as a new one.
"My wife and her friends' cooking skills are really good, and the doctor has also arranged the backyard and bought a new kitchen, so we can have dinner in the evening.
Gu Yao looked at Gu Xiaoshu and thought for a moment before saying, "Xiaoshu, it's time for you to get married. Let me be your matchmaker."
Gu Xiaoshu looked a little shy when he heard this: "Madam, let's talk about it later. I'm not in a hurry now."
"I already have five children, and you're still not married. It's really outrageous. If you hadn't stayed by my side, they would probably have forced a pairing on you."
At first, Gu Xiaoshu didn't want to get married, and Gu Yao paid some fines for her, which were quite high.
In this era, if you don't get married, you will either be fined, go to jail, or be forced to marry.
Fortunately, she had good relationships with people and had some respect in the government, so Gu Xiaoshu was able to escape.
Gu Xiaoshu listened to her and said, "Madam, can I marry one first? We can talk about the other two later."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a good husband for you. I'll find the one you like when the time comes."
"Just be gentle. I don't like it when it's too strong."
Gu Yao had an idea in mind and thought about asking her father Gu or Lin Wulang.
They have been among men for a long time and should know which type of man is suitable for Gu Xiaoshu.
When Gu Yao got to the back, she saw that her husband and the others were already there.
Chen Yan was also standing behind Lin Wulang with her bulging belly. Seeing him like this, she knew that he was in good health.
He was protected a lot along the way, and Bai Xiangzhong was always by his side, so he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Seeing that he was about to give birth, Gu Yao said, "Alu, we should have someone take a good look at him. He is about to give birth, and his belly is very important."
Lin Wulang smiled and said, "Yes, my dear wife, I have already arranged everything. Let him rest for a while every morning and take a nap. This way, his health will get better and better."
Chen Yan quickly stood up to thank him. He felt a little tired now. After all, his belly was getting bigger and bigger and he was about to give birth, so sometimes he couldn't bear it.
However, today is the day when all the members of the Gu family are reunited, and it is also the first time they live outside, so they must eat together.
After a while, the servants brought all the food to the table, and Gu's mother and father sat at the top.
Gu Yao sat aside and said with a smile: "Mom, Dad, let's have a drink as a family. Today is our good day. We will start over here in the future."
Mother Gu was happy when she saw her family, hoping that they would have more and more people. Now she not only had a grandchild, but her daughter's little maid was also pregnant. She felt happy just thinking about it.
"From now on, our family must help each other and try to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Gu Yao and the others ate together while talking to Gu's mother.
In their family, there is no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping. After all, they are all from humble backgrounds, so there is no need to be so particular.
Talking to them also eases the atmosphere, and the meals are pretty good.
Although most of the dishes were bought in Shicheng, they tasted a little different from those in Beijing, not as crispy and tender.
When I came to Shicheng and looked at the scenery here, I was not satisfied, not even the house, but at least the whole family lived together.
Moreover, Gu Yao did not treat them badly, so they were quite comfortable.
Although he would not be used to living here, he thought that there seemed to be no good-looking people here, so his wife would probably not take in a maid.
He knew that his wife could not belong to him alone, but he also did not want a few more servants to come later, so that his wife would not be shared by many people.
But seeing that his wife was gentle to him, and that he had two children, and even held power in the family.
He felt that as long as they didn't challenge his bottom line, he would still be willing to treat those behind him well.
In fact, sometimes when he wakes up in the middle of the night, Lin Wulang feels that he has changed.
He became as calculating as the husbands of wealthy families, but he always stuck to his bottom line and didn't use any conspiracy or trickery.
He was also very clear that if he took action, his wife would know, and he did not want to destroy the importance he held in his wife's heart.
They stayed in the mansion in Shicheng. The first night was pretty good, except that many people couldn't sleep.
Gu Yao was fine, after all, she could fall asleep anywhere when she was studying abroad before.
As long as the place is safe, she can sleep even in the wilderness.
She slept with Lin Wulang last night, but in the middle of the night she felt the person next to her tossing and turning.
He opened his hazy eyes and asked, "Alu, can't you sleep?"
After hearing this, Lin Wulang said shyly: "My dear wife, I am really sorry. I can't sleep and I feel very anxious."
Gu Yao held him in her arms and said softly: "Is it because you came to a strange place that this happened? Otherwise, let Doctor Ren prescribe some tranquilizers for you tomorrow. I think you are a little uncomfortable."
Gu Yao remembered that Lin Wulang seemed to be the same when they were in the capital. He couldn't sleep on the first night, but he was almost asleep on the second and third days.
Lin Wulang lay in Gu Yao's arms and said softly: "I think I will be fine tomorrow. I did feel the same when I was on the road. But I will be able to fall asleep after staying in Shicheng for a long time."
"How about I tell you a story, and then you will fall asleep."
Finally, Gu Yao told him a story that she had read in a book before.
Lin Wulang felt very sweet in his heart. He had always known that his wife was very gentle. Especially after feeling her gentleness, he couldn't let go.
He was also very jealous in his heart, jealous that Gu Yao was as gentle to other men.
However, he also knew very well that this was because the other men were also the wife's men.
Whenever Gu Yao went to spend the night with other men, he sometimes couldn't sleep alone.
But fortunately he has gotten used to it now. After all, his wife is an official, and in this world women need to have three husbands and four servants.
There are very few people in his wife's backyard, and even behind her best friend there are eighty or ninety people. Compared to others, his wife is really very self-disciplined.
Although he was sad, he never thought of doing anything unnecessary.
He only hoped that Gu Yao would like him more and respect him more because of how good he was to the backyard.
And now that he has come to a new city and started a new life, he will definitely be a good wife.
He also knew that after being sent out, as a doctor, he had to do a good job of diplomacy.
If his wife wants to get promoted, she must not only make political achievements, but also build good relationships with her husband. After all, pillow talk is quite important.
He learned a lot from those men in the capital. After all, he didn't stay in the capital for nothing. He also had a few close friends.
When he was preparing to be sent out, his best friend taught him a lot of things, and he even understood the diplomatic tactics of husbands.
My wife is currently a sixth-rank judge, and it will definitely be difficult for her to get promoted in the future.
Therefore, in order not to make his wife suffer, he must also use his own means well to take good care of his wife and do his part behind the scenes.
After the mansion was completely cleaned up, they began to slowly settle down in Shicheng.
