Gu Changsheng felt that he was being ignored. He sighed silently and went to the inner room to rest: "If you need anything, just call me. Qingtong will arrange everything when we get to the inn."
"good."
The carriage swayed from Pingning Town to Xining County. After Gu Changsheng entered, the space became larger, and Xia Qianqian lay down more comfortably and fell asleep in a short while.
As the sky gradually darkened, Han Yuqing stood under the corridor, looking back from time to time. Xing'er and Rui'er stood on both sides.
The lights in the yard lit up one by one, and snowflakes drifted to the lights, painted with warm colors by the dim light.
"Miss, you'd better go inside and wait. It's cold outside." Rui'er said, rubbing her frozen hands.
"You won't be able to see him if you go inside." Han Yuqing shook her head. The wind and snow outside were very cold, but her heart was very warm.
She had heard that Gu Changsheng was drinking with friends outside today, so he specially called Qingtong back to take the osmanthus wine she gave him last night.
That is a fine wine that only the nobles in the capital can enjoy, and it will definitely make Gu Changsheng proud in front of his friends.
Thinking of this, Han Yuqing felt even warmer in her heart, and even a little proud. Changsheng, I am the woman who best suits you. My talent and my family background are enough to be your good wife.
"But Miss, it's so late, no one knows when the third young master will come back!" Rui'er said.
"I don't care. I'll wait until he comes back!" Han Yuqing's eyes were full of spring. She was wearing a fox fur coat and holding a hand warmer. She didn't feel the coldness of the maids at all.
Rui Er had no choice but to continue to wait. But it was too cold, so she and Xing Er could only rub their hands and move their feet from time to time to keep away the cold.
I don't know how long I waited. Han Yuqing's legs were sore from standing so long, so I asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost time for the first update." Xing'er said.
Han Yuqing was stunned: "It's so late?"
"Yes." Xing'er said with a bitter face, "Miss, I'm afraid the Third Young Master won't come back tonight. Should we still wait?"
"He..." Han Yuqing's face showed displeasure, "Does he have a habit of not coming home at night?"
"That's not clear. How about I go ask someone?" Rui'er suggested. She really couldn't stand the cold anymore. Her hands and feet were stiff.
Han Yuqing nodded and agreed.
Rui'er ran over to ask, and saw Han Yuqing brushing the snow off the wooden railings between the corridor columns with his sleeves, and sitting against the column with a lonely look on his face.
Xing Er saw that she was unhappy, so she tried to comfort her, "Miss, it is common for men to go to prostitutes and have fun. Don't the young masters in our mansion often go there? They just write poems and sing songs."
"Stop talking too much!" Han Yuqing glared at Xing'er unhappily.
How could there be any high-class brothels in a small place like Pingning Town? And Changsheng actually went to such a place to drink wine, which was really unkind of him.
Xing'er knew that although Han Yuqing looked friendly, he was actually a thoughtful person, so she didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, Rui'er came running over and said, "Miss, the third young master will not be back tonight."
"Ah?" Han Yuqing stood up, and the disappointment in his heart deepened little by little.
"They said the third young master went to Xining County and won't be back for several days." Rui'er said.
"He went to Xining County." Han Yuqing felt relieved and scolded Rui'er, "Just speak clearly, or else people will misunderstand you."
Rui'er was confused: What did she say wrong
"Miss, you can go back to your room and rest now!" Xing'er stepped forward to support Han Yuqing, "The third young master went to do some serious work, and he didn't drink any wine."
Han Yuqing finally smiled: "My third cousin's new restaurant is about to open, and he must be busy with this matter. I will also write a letter to my father and brother, inviting them to come back and support the restaurant when it opens."
