Chapter 498 Arriving in Shangjing
Yin Jiuchen has been staying at Gu's house and has no need to use his martial arts, so Gu Huanhuan has never seen him.
Gu Huanhuan smiled playfully and lowered the curtain again.
The carriage was large enough for the two sisters to lie down and rest, so they ate something and lay down to rest.
Sure enough, as Gu Lili expected, they walked for a long time, from dawn to dusk, but still hadn't arrived.
When the two woke up, they realized that it was dark and the carriage was still moving.
Gu Lili stood up, tightened Gu Huanhuan's cloak, then opened the curtain to see what was happening outside.
It was already pitch black outside, but with the lanterns and the snow, it was still possible to see.
"Princess, in about a quarter of an hour, we can enter the city."
Wei Yin looked at Lili who was sticking her head out to look and said quickly.
It was so cold outside that when Wei Yin opened his mouth, mist came out.
Gu Lili nodded and sat back down.
Fortunately, the cushions of the carriage were thick enough, so even though the ride was long, I didn't feel tired.
Gu Lili couldn't help but think to herself that when she got home, she should put some cushions in her carriage so that it would be more comfortable to sit on.
Although Gu Huanhuan woke up, she was still a little dazed. Gu Lili pulled her over and let her rest her head on her thighs to relax.
Just as Wei Yin said, after a while, noisy sounds were heard outside the carriage.
Gu Huanhuan, who originally wanted to continue sleeping, suddenly got up.
Lift the curtain again.
It should be shortly after nightfall now. Although it is a winter night, the streets are very busy.
What Gu Huanhuan saw were the streets full of lanterns shining brightly, and the restaurants and inns nearby, with waiters shouting at passers-by.
People can come in to eat or stay overnight, it's really lively.
There are also some jewelry shops and clothing stores that are still open at this moment.
The snow on the street must have been swept away, so there were quite a few people strolling around.
This made Gu Huanhuan feel very fresh, because in Gu Village, as long as it gets dark, everyone, whether it is her family or the villagers, will go to bed early.
Especially in the cold winter, people go to bed early.
Nowadays, it’s not uncommon to see so many people on a winter night.
The carriage did not stop and kept moving on the street. Gu Huanhuan kept pointing at the sights outside that he had never seen before and shared them with Gu Lili.
"Silly girl, after I'm done with my work, I'll take you to Shangjing to have a good time for a few days." Gu Lili said lovingly to Gu Huanhuan who was chattering all the time.
Gu Huanhuan nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
"Sister, can I buy a gift for everyone in the family?" Gu Huanhuan asked, looking up.
Her embroidery had already started to earn money, and Gu Lili gave her all the money she earned and let her manage her own "small treasury".
So Gu Huanhuan also has some money in her hands.
Gu Lili nodded and smiled, "Of course, I'll go with you to choose when the time comes."
The two sisters chatted and walked for about a quarter of an hour before they stopped.
"Princess, we have arrived at the Gu Mansion." The maid said respectfully outside.
Speaking of which, when Gu Lili was named a princess, the emperor awarded her a mansion. Although it was her own, she had never been there.
Gu Lili responded, and a maid opened the curtain of the carriage.
Gu Lili leaned out first and found that the maid had already set the stool, so she stepped on it first and stepped down.
After standing firmly, he waved towards the carriage.
"Huanhuan, come here, sister will help you down."
Gu Huanhuan shook her head.
"Sister, I don't need your help, I can get down by myself!"
Gu Lili smiled and took her hand back, watching Gu Huanhuan get out of the car by herself.
After Gu Huanhuan came down and stood firmly, Gu Lili turned around and admired the mansion given to her by the emperor.
On the red plaque, the words "Gu Mansion" are written.
Looking at the handwriting, Gu Lili felt that it looked familiar. Before she had time to think about it, the vermilion door opened from the inside.
A maid walked out of the gate, followed by a dozen maids and guards.
After seeing Gu Lili, they all knelt down in front of her, even the maids, guards and coachman who had just picked them up knelt down together.
"Your servants, we greet the princess!"
When Gu Huanhuan saw this scene, she quickly hid behind Gu Lili.
The last time I saw such a big scene was when Gu Lili was crowned as a princess.
Gu Huanhuan wasn't afraid, she just felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Gu Lili held Gu Huanhuan's hand, signaling her to be at ease.
"Princess, these are the maids, nannies and guards arranged for you by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They will be yours from now on and you can send them at your command at any time." Wei Yin explained on the side.
Gu Lili understood. No wonder Yin Jiuchen took so much trouble. He knew that she had no maids or servants, but he still prepared something for her.
No wonder Gu Lili felt that the handwriting on the door plaque was familiar. Now she saw that it was Yin Jiuchen's handwriting.
Gu Lili nodded and glanced at the people kneeling on the ground. Including the coachman, there were a total of twenty-two people.
Gu Lili was a little shocked. A princess's family actually needed so many people to serve her.
However, she didn't say anything, she just stretched out her hand and asked everyone to stand up.
Then he took out a purse from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Yin.
"Wei Yin, here is some silver. Please distribute it. Ten taels for the manager, and the remaining five taels will be my gift." Gu Lili said with a faint smile.
Wei Yin took the purse with both hands.
"You are joking, Princess. It's not a big deal to make such a small matter such as this." Wei Yin said respectfully.
As soon as everyone heard that Gu Lili was going to give out rewards, they immediately knelt down to express their gratitude as soon as they stood up.
"We thank the princess!" everyone stood up and said.
Gu Lili held her forehead with her hand. She was used to living in Guzhuang, so it was hard to adapt to being asked to kneel down at every turn.
However, this place is different from Guzhuang, where etiquette must be observed.
Not only does it remind the servants of hierarchy, but it also allows Gu Lili to always remember that this is the capital, under the feet of the emperor, and everything must be done with caution.
"Okay, everyone, don't be polite, let's get up." Gu Lili said.
The nanny in charge hurried forward and led Gu Lili forward.
"Princess, it's freezing cold, you should go back and rest soon." Nanny Xia said as she led the way.
Gu Lili nodded, and then followed Nanny Xia into her home.
Although it is her own home, it is Gu Lili's first time here.
Now, I don’t even know where my room is.
The nanny held a lantern in front of her to light the way and led Gu Lili forward.
Following behind should be a few maids who serve Gu Lili personally.
The rest of the people should have retreated.
After all, I can't follow Gu Lili back to the house.
