"Uncle knows that you won't be obedient without a reason," Gu Weikai said in a serious tone.
Huarong lowered her head embarrassedly. She looked as if she would be disobedient if he couldn't give her a reason.
"Sigh." Gu Weikai sighed. "Uncle, I don't know if anything will happen. I just feel that something is wrong with the Wen family and the Yue family. I'm afraid that something big will happen in the capital these few days. It's better not to go out."
"Anin knows. Uncle, don't worry. Anin will learn poetry from Brother Seven today."
Huarong was unrestrained and loved freedom. She was born to be a playboy, but she knew that sometimes she couldn't act according to her temper.
Gu Weikai was very pleased. He reached out and patted her head. "You're sensible. Uncle, don't worry."
Since they weren't going to the banquet, Huarong sent Shuxiu to inform Lin Heqing. She went to the courtyard outside her father's study to play with Shiyun, who had just given birth to a new puppy.
Shiyun was a dog from overseas. Huarong didn't pay attention to dogs. Shiyun looked a little like a corgi. It was very smart and cute.
The name Shiyun was given by the Wu Clan. It was very scholarly.
"Fifth Aunt, this one is for Miss Yue." Gu Changan picked the most beautiful puppy and said to the Wu Clan.
The Wu Clan nodded. "Okay, you choose. As long as it's not Shiyun, it's fine."
Huarong thought that it would be great to name it Da Huang. Shiyun … Sigh, she only hoped that no one in the capital was called Shiyun.
"Fifth Aunt, I'm going."
"Go. Come back early. Your Fifth Uncle said that there's a poetry gathering today. He wants to take you there."
"Yes." Gu Changan left with the puppy. When he passed by Huarong, he asked in surprise, "Anin knows that I'm going out today, so she stayed at home?"
"Yes. Look at how good I am to you. But what about you? Now you're using your dog to please other girls. Sigh, a grown man can't be kept at home. If you keep him, you'll become enemies. "
While she was sighing, a member of the Wu Clan angrily threw an orange at her. "You're right!"
However, Gu Changan was so embarrassed that he ran away with the dog in his arms.
Huarong shook his head and sighed. "I've confirmed it with his eyes. He likes other girls and no longer dotes on his own sister."
"Gu Huarong!" The members of the Wu Clan roared. She was a scholar and a lady from a respectable family.
Huarong fled in panic. Her mother was also very ruthless. She remembered that when she was discovered to be the disciple of a teacher, the doctor wanted to jump into the river to apologize for his crime. Her mother was very angry and punished her to copy a whole book of Precepts for Women. She would die if she copied this kind of rubbish.
After escaping to Xiangtan Courtyard, the old lady was very happy. She brought all the snacks she could name to Huarong. Huarong's shoulders collapsed. "Grandmother, there's too much. What if Anin becomes fat?"
"Don't worry. We don't have to worry about not finding a son-in-law. It's good to be fat. It's a blessing." The old lady squinted her eyes. She felt that her precious granddaughter was too thin and should eat more.
Speaking of son-in-law, Huarong remembered those people she saw last time. She rolled her eyes. It should be fine if she didn't go to places where the rich and powerful gathered, right? It should be fine. If she casually went out and caused trouble, then it was fate. It couldn't be avoided.
Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Grandmother, Anin heard that there's a fruit called durian at the south bank. It smells very bad, but it's very delicious. Anin will go and buy it for you."
After saying this, she left Xiangtan Courtyard without waiting for the old lady to ask the servants to go.
Gu Chang 'an had already gone out. Just in case, she couldn't go out and fool around in the name of Gu Chang' an. Therefore, she wore a veil, called Zhu Liu, and prepared a carriage. Then she went out.
"Miss, where are we going first?" Zhu Liu, who was driving the carriage, asked.
"Go to the south bank first."
The south bank was the second most prosperous market in Jin Ling. It opened before dawn and only closed at night when it was curfew. If it wasn't for the curfew, Huarong suspected that it would be brightly lit until the next day.
In the past, the Gu Family didn't have any business in the market, so there weren't any Gu Family shops in the south bank. However, there was an inn on the front street that welcomed people from overseas.
Huarong had Zhu Liu park the carriage in the back courtyard of the inn. When the manager saw that the young miss wanted to go to the south bank, he immediately sent people from the inn to follow. Huarong naturally wouldn't allow it. It would delay work.
However, the south bank wasn't chaotic. It was well managed by Lou Dongfu. There was no need to worry about any accidents. Kidnappers didn't dare to come to the south bank to kidnap people.
"Miss, do you want to take a look at the fig sapling? It just got off the ship today. It's the first batch this year. It's a fresh fig sapling. Take it back and plant it. There will be fruit to eat in July or August. "
"Miss, do you want to take a look at the Star Luo Cat? This cat is smart and beautiful. Most importantly, it's loyal."
As Huarong walked past, countless people hawked their wares. It was very lively.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance. "They're fighting. They're fighting. Let's go."
Someone was running out. Huarong was originally walking in the same direction. However, someone was running from the opposite direction, so it became the opposite direction.
Amidst the shouting, the street was chaotic. There were many people. Huarong was almost hit. Fortunately, Zhu Liu protected her.
"Miss, hide inside." Zhu Liu led Huarong into the jade shop. The manager was about to close the door, but Zhu Liu said, "Please let our young miss hide inside. We're from the Gu Family of the Yue Lai Inn on the front street."
They were all businessmen. The Gu Family was not a peddler. The manager was more polite to Huarong.
After entering the jade shop and closing the door, there was a lot of chaos outside. Then, there was the sound of weapons clashing. From the crack of the door, there seemed to be three groups of people fighting.
"It's said that Lou Daren is a righteous official. The south coast has always been in good order under his management. What happened today?" Huarong said to herself.
The manager of the jade shop shook his head. "Miss was raised in the house and rarely went out. Starting today, the Ministry of Shipping will not be under Lou Daren's management."
Huarong was shocked. "Why?"
"How would I know? I only heard that the Ministry of Shipping will be under the management of the former Assistant Minister Dong Daren."
Huarong knew about the Assistant Minister Dong Zhongming, but she had never seen him. She only heard that he was related to the Wen Family by marriage.
After hiding for about an hour, the outside gradually calmed down. When Huarong came out, there were only corpses on the street.
"Oh, my Miss, I've finally found you!" Gu Zhong cried. The people who followed him out to look for her were not supposed to be crying. Gu Zhong was so happy that they were affected and couldn't help but cry as well.
Huarong knew that she had made them worry. She didn't dare to show her usual carefree attitude and returned to the Gu Mansion obediently.
"It's good that you're back. It's good that you're back." When she entered, her grandmother, aunt, and mother were all waiting in the courtyard. Their faces were full of anxiety. They were relieved when they saw that she was unharmed.
"Anin is unfilial. I've made everyone worry." Huarong lowered her head and apologized out of habit.
"How is it your fault that others want to fight? It's good that you're back safely. "The Old Man was very distressed. He held Huarong's hand and refused to let go.
You Family's aunt also wiped her tears. She ordered her subordinates, "Quickly call the masters and young masters back. Tell them that Anin has returned safely."
