The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"Lord Shen, let's say goodbye here. We have other places to stay in Linzhou City, so we won't disturb you anymore." The moment they entered the inner city gate, Gu Anqing decided to part ways with Shen Xiangming and others.

Shen Xiangming was still in shock from the assassination attempt he had suffered not long ago. He understood that the danger of gathering together was far greater than that of dispersing.

He could also understand Gu Anqing and Lin Qiu'er's vigilance against them, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, we still have some things to deal with. Two days later in the morning, we will gather outside the gate of Linzhou City and go to Youlin Mansion together."

When Gu Anqing heard that Shen Xiangming would only stay in Linzhou City for two days, he turned to look at Lin Qiuer and asked her opinion, "Miss Qiuer, we will set off in two days. Do you think we have enough time? If not, should we stay for another day or two?"

Lin Qiu'er was thinking about the clues about her elder brother. She remembered the letter she saw from the Gu family guards that day, which said that her elder brother had disappeared in the city, so she decided to search carefully in that area first.

As for whether she could find the key clues or the eldest brother himself within just two days, she could not give a definite answer.

So, she said to Shen Xiangming, "Sir Shen, please send someone to inform us after you have dealt with the matter. We will decide when to set off for Youzhou Prefecture based on the situation. How about that?"

Shen Xiangming felt somewhat dissatisfied. After all, this small matter of searching for someone had affected the important task of escorting the account books back to the imperial city.

Lin Qiuer was keenly aware of his subtle changes in mood, but she didn't care whether he was satisfied or not.

The reason why he agreed to accompany Gu Anqing to the imperial city was entirely because Old Master Gu promised to help find his eldest brother. As for the matter of the third prince, it was just a side issue.

"Then it's decided! I believe that you in the Censorate are well-informed and must know where Mr. Gu's house is in Linzhou City. We'll see you later!" As soon as Lin Qiu'er finished speaking, she led the horse and continued forward without any delay.

The brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue followed closely behind, obviously being Lin Qiuer's die-hard supporters.

Gu Anqing bowed slightly, then elegantly led the horse and followed Lin Qiuer and the other two away.

Seeing this, Changqing and the Gu family guards naturally did not stay and followed their master.

Shen Xiangming watched Lin Qiu'er, Gu Anqing and the others go away, and sighed helplessly in his heart. On the way to the imperial city, it seemed that he would have to accommodate these two "ancestors" from time to time.

He waved his hand and said decisively, "Let's go."

Ye Anlan, Liuzi and other people from the Censorate widened their eyes. When had they ever seen Shen Xiangming be so accommodating to others?

They were all dissatisfied with Lin Qiuer and Gu Anqing's behavior of disregarding the overall situation.

How can such a small matter as finding someone affect major issues of family and country?

Even though they were resentful, since their boss didn't object, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction.

Everyone led the horses loaded with account books and followed Shen Xiangming silently to their destination.

When the brothers Lin Qiuer and Lin Nanye first arrived in Linzhou City, they immediately discovered the differences between this city and Lingao County.

The inner city and outer city of Linzhou City are completely different. The civilians in the outer city are bustling, while the residents of the inner city are mostly dressed in gorgeous clothes and have a group of servants. The shops on the street are luxurious and grand, which is obviously the gathering place of the rich and nobles in the city.

The Gu family’s house in Linzhou City is even more magnificent, and the surrounding mansions are also quite large. I guess they are all residences of the rich and powerful people in the city.

Lin Qiuer thought to herself, this is worthy of being the territory chosen by the Gu family, it really has a lot of heritage.

"Little sister, look at this Linzhou City, it is a hundred times more prosperous than Lingao County! If our herbal medicine shop can open here, it will be a very profitable business!"

Lin Nanyue looked around all the way, as if he wanted to take in the bustling scene. After everyone entered the Gu family's house and sat down, he finally had a moment of free time, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Gu Anqing recalled the medicinal food he tasted at the coming-of-age ceremony. It was indeed a precious prescription from a witch doctor.

He was young and strong, and had not yet married, so he did not feel too deeply after eating.

However, my grandfather was quite different. After eating the medicinal food, the old man was able to complete a set of boxing in the house that night. After finishing the boxing, he was sweating profusely and looked refreshed.

Uncle Gu was skeptical about the medicinal diet at first, but after eating it, he felt hot and couldn't sleep that night, so he called the maid into the room and had a good time. When they met the next day, he said to Gu Anqing with emotion, "The business of this medicinal diet shop will definitely be booming!"

Thinking of this, Gu Anqing said to Lin Qiuer, "Miss Qiuer, your fourth brother is absolutely right. When do you plan to open your medicinal food shop in Linzhou City? There are many more wealthy families here than in Lingao County."

Lin Nanye knew Lin Qiuer's plan very well, so he just sat there quietly and said nothing.

Lin Nanyue persuaded with expectation, "Little sister, look at the rich people in the inner city of Linzhou City. You will definitely make a lot of money if you open a shop here! The sooner you open the shop, the sooner you can make money!"

Lin Qiu'er looked at Lin Nanyue. Half a month ago, he was just a teenager who only knew how to hunt in the Nalan Mountains. Now, he has lived in Lingao County for not long. In a short period of time, he has learned how to explore business opportunities.

However, this change is exactly what she expected, and it is also the change that Nalan Village must face.

She smiled mysteriously and said, "Maybe when we return from the Imperial City, Uncle Ji will have already spread the medicinal food here."

Gu Anqing immediately understood what Lin Qiu'er meant, and realized that she had already planned to open a new store before leaving Lingao County. No wonder Lin Nanye looked so confident, it turned out that he had known all this for a long time.

"That's really a blessing for the people of Linzhou! As long as the store opens, business will be booming and the store will be full of customers." Gu Anqing said with a smile.

Lin Qiu'er covered her mouth and chuckled, teasing Gu Anqing, "It seems that Master Gu has deeply realized the benefits of medicinal diet."

"Ms. Qiu'er, your words are still so sharp." Gu Anqing smiled helplessly.

"What's wrong with that?" Lin Nanyue asked in confusion, and then introduced the customs of Nalan Village to everyone without reservation.

"In our village, if there is discord between husband and wife, they will go to the witch doctor to get medicine. How can we have babies without taking those medicines?"

Lin Nanye noticed that Gu Anqing seemed very shy when talking about getting married and having children, so he started to tease her, "Getting married and having children is a very natural thing. The loyal butler of the Gu Mansion is already quite old, but he still married a concubine who is old enough to be his granddaughter."

Lin Qiu'er didn't understand either. She remembered that the young masters at that time already had maids in their rooms.

How come Gu Anqing is still so shy even though he is already 20 years old? Has he never experienced sex before?

"Mr. Gu, don't you have a maid?" Lin Qiu'er asked curiously.

Gu Anqing blushed a little after being told so by everyone, and with Lin Qiuer's direct question, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

He looked at Lin Qiu'er and explained, "Men in our Gu family are not allowed to have maids before they get engaged. This is to prevent them from being obsessed with women and neglecting their martial arts."
