Chapter 158 She is worth it
After the granary was built, they rested in Mingzhou City for three days. Only after Yuan Yi brought Chi Xiao over did they set out for Yun Country.
Hui Chengyuan looked at Chi Xiao with a gleam in his eyes, "Aman, how old is Chi Xiao?"
"Uh, four years old." Yuan Man also guessed. It has been a year since the system gave it the reward, so it is four years old.
"That's great, that's beautiful," Hui Chengyuan said, patting the horse's neck.
If it weren't for Yuan Man's pressure, Chi Xiao would have wanted to give up.
Yuan Man climbed onto the horse holding Yuan Bao and galloped all the way. Hui Chengyuan was really envious.
Unfortunately, Chi Xiao is very loyal to his master and won’t let anyone ride him except Yuan Man.
It’s okay, his red flame will grow up soon.
Hui Chengyuan thought about it and rode his horse forward to chase after him.
Yuanman only took Yuanbao for a short ride before riding in the carriage.
After walking and stopping along the way, they arrived near the south city. Yuanman remembered the ducks and lotus roots there, so the group went to the farm to have a meal of roast duck.
There is also the marinated duck invented by Wang Laicai’s wife. It’s really tasty, except that it’s not spicy enough.
So Yuanman asked Wang Laicai to pack ten duck sauces for her so that she could take them away when she left.
Wang Laicai not only packed ten duck sauces, but also packed fifty salted duck eggs and fifty preserved eggs for her, telling her to take them with her on the road.
Yuanman tried both, and unexpectedly, Wang Laicai’s was quite successful.
Hui Chengyuan was not used to eating preserved eggs, so he only took one bite and stopped eating, and the rest went into Yuanman's mouth. However, he ate two salted duck eggs with porridge.
Yuan Man knew that these things were currently only sold in Jinnan City, and what she wanted was to have him sell them to Quan'an Country.
So she wrote a letter and asked Yuan Yi to pass it to Yang Chu, asking him to discuss with Fu Ling how to sell it to other places.
After eating and drinking their fill, they set off again, carrying with them ten duck sauces and a hundred duck eggs.
In two days, they finished making ten ducks with sauce. Mainly because Yuan Er liked it very much, he could eat one by himself.
After entering Zengcheng, Yuan Man did not go to the village, but rested in Zengcheng for one night and went directly to Beifangcheng.
Hui Chengyuan must have sent the letter in advance. When they arrived, Gu Qin was already waiting at the city gate.
"Your Highness, you must be tired from the journey. Please follow me to the mansion to rest for a while."
Seeing that Yuan Man had no objection, Hui Chengyuan agreed, "Thank you, General Gu."
Seeing the two talking so awkwardly, Yuan Man couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you good friends?"
Hui Chengyuan smiled and said, "You still have to pretend when you are outside."
Yuan Man then asked again: "Why did you inform him? Didn't we go to Yun Country secretly?"
"Gu Chen still needs to know something, so that he can help if anything happens." Hui Chengyuan knew that Yuan Yi and the others were there, so he also brought secret guards, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
When the people in the city saw Gu Qin personally driving the carriage into the city, they couldn't help but guess the identities of the people in the carriage, but they didn't dare to ask casually.
Gu Qin stopped at the door of his own mansion, but the carriage bypassed him and stopped next to his house.
Gu Qin: “…”
No, could it be that the coachman’s eyesight is poor?
Hui Chengyuan got off the carriage first, and then helped Yuan Man get off the carriage.
Yuan Man looked at the house in front of him, then looked at Yuan Er and said, "Follow the old rules, change the plaque and enjoy the good."
"Yes." Yuan Er immediately took the order and did it.
"You..." Gu Qin didn't expect that it was her.
Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising. She was able to take out the Prince's Golden Order in the first place, so there was nothing strange about the two of them getting married now. It was just that she always felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Yuan Man looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Long time no see, General Gu."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at Gu Qin, stepped forward and embraced Yuan Man, "We live here?"
Yuan Man nodded, "Well, this is what I bought when I came here before. I have my own house, so why should I live in someone else's house?"
"Yes." Hui Chengyuan responded and looked at Gu Qin and said, "Aqin, let's take a break first and have dinner together later."
Gu Qin nodded, "Okay."
Only after Hui Chengyuan took Yuanman in did he return home.
Yuanman sat in the yard holding Yuanbao, waiting for them to finish cleaning before going in.
Hui Chengyuan went to arrange their identities to enter Yun Country.
In the evening, when Gu Qin came, he brought his own drinks.
When Hui Chengyuan came back, he brought back the restaurant's chef, and Yuanman just sat there waiting for dinner.
Gu Qin looked at Hui Chengyuan taking care of his son and wife, and suddenly he didn't feel there was anything to envy. Isn't it good to be alone? If he is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry.
Hui Chengyuan enjoyed it, and after serving them, he started to eat.
After Yuanman finished eating, he did not disturb Hui Chengyuan and Gu Qin, two friends he hadn't seen for a long time, who were reminiscing about the past. He signaled to Gu Qin and left.
After she left, Gu Qin looked at Hui Chengyuan and asked, "You really dote on the Crown Princess."
Hui Chengyuan glanced at him and said, "She is my wife. Who else should I spoil if not her?"
Then he told him that they were going to Yun Country.
Gu Qin listened with a frown on his face the whole time, and only asked after Hui Chengyuan finished speaking: "Why do you suddenly want to go to Yun Country?"
Hui Chengyuan raised two fingers and said, "There are two reasons. One is that A-Man wants to go to Haicheng to take a look. The other is that the Third Prince of Yun State has personally entered An State as a spy. I would be worried if I don't go to see their purpose."
Gu Qin's mouth twitched, "I think the most important thing is that the Crown Princess wants to visit Haicheng."
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "Yes, if she doesn't want to come, I will send spies to Yunguo to investigate."
"Before I ascend the throne, I just want to do my best to accomplish what she wants to do and accompany her to where she wants to go."
"Although I have promised her, no one knows if there will be any unexpected events along the way. So before anything unexpected happens, I want to try my best to fulfill the promises I can make."
Gu Qin looked at him deeply, "You really love her."
Hye Seung Won nodded, “She’s worth it.”
Gu Qin didn't know if it was really worth it, because his impression of Yuan Man was that she was a girl with an outspoken personality who would not suffer any loss.
He had a crush on her, but not yet to the point of love.
Seeing his expression, Hui Chengyuan knew that he didn't understand, so he said, "When you really like a girl, you will understand."
"Aqin, do you want to be transferred back to Kyoto? Otherwise, you will end up alone and Mr. Gu will blame me."
Gu Qin rolled his eyes at him and said, "No, it's nice here."
"It's useless for me to go anywhere without fate."
"That's right." Hui Chengyuan started drinking a little wine.
Gu Qin clinked glasses with him, and they both drank from small cups until they were a little tipsy before leaving.
After Hui Chengyuan washed up, he went to bed and hugged Yuan Man, nuzzling him, "A-Man."
Yuan Man, who had fallen asleep, was woken up by him. Looking at his slightly drunk appearance, the corner of his mouth twitched, "What's wrong?"
"Aman, I want it."
The veins on Yuanman's forehead popped.
"Aman..."
"roll……"
"Aman." Hui Chengyuan continued to bow.
In the end, Yuanman compromised and Hui Chengyuan was satisfied.
