Survive first? Interesting.

The man stood up by holding the armrest of the chair and walked to the bed.

He pinched Gu Manzhu's little chin with his right hand and gently stroked the birthmark with his left hand.

"Okay, save him to the end. Remember your compensation. Remember, my name is Ming Nanluo."

After saying this, his warm thin lips pressed against the red little mouth.

“Well, um….”

Ming Nanxuan looked at the charming woman in front of him.

There was a smile in his eyes, like a warm mountain spring, refreshing the heart.

Gu Manzhu couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He raised his hand and lowered the curtain, covering the spring light on the bed. The flame of the red candle beside the bed jumped and twisted.

The clouds and rain stopped, and the heavy rain outside the window gradually stopped.

"Someone, prepare some hot water."

Ming Nanxuan looked at the woman who had fallen asleep on the bed, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of mystery.

Just as he put on his clean inner robe, Ming Nanxuan heard a knock on the door.

"Master, our tracks may have been exposed. Do we need to evacuate?"

"Retreat, go and get ready."

"Yes!"

Ming Nanxuan reached out to put on his outer robe, then turned back to the bed.

Looking at the little face that was still sleeping, he stroked it with his fingers.

He took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and hung it around Gu Manzhu's neck.

He took another deep look, then turned and walked towards the door.

I walked quickly to the front hall and saw Mingxing and Mingluo waiting at the door.

"What's going on now?"

"My Lord, our spies found a group of people of unknown origin at the entrance of this town. Judging from their attire, they seem to be from Huachan Palace."

"Have any of our people been exposed?"

"No, they were disguised as vendors, and no one suspected anything."

Ming Nanxun tapped the table regularly with his right index finger.

"Leave the original residents of this house here, and evacuate our people."

"Yes."

The town was dark and peaceful at this time, with only the house in front of him brightly lit.

Following a burst of hurried footsteps, the lights in the house were turned off, and the surroundings returned to darkness, as if the lights just now were just an illusion.

The next day, the morning light shone into the room through the window screen.

A pair of tightly closed eyes slowly opened. Gu Manzhu was dazed for a moment, a little confused about what was going on with her.

I moved my body and found that I felt as if I had been beaten up and my waist and legs were not my own.

Gu Manzhu's back was so sore that she wanted to beat up the culprit.

As her thoughts came back to her mind, memories of last night flooded into Gu Manzhu's mind.

"Tsk, that man has never seen a woman so strong."

Gu Manzhu struggled to put on the clothes on the bedside and opened the door with her aching body.

Looking closely, I saw that the outside of the room was empty and extremely quiet.

"anyone there?"

You won't eat it all and run away overnight, right? Gu Manzhu muttered softly.

A thin girl came running outside the corridor. Judging from her attire, she was a maid in the mansion.

"Miss, you are awake, what can I do for you?"

"Where is your master?"

"I don't know."

Gu Manzhu took a deep breath and asked, "Is there anyone else in your family?"

"Yes, the man who manages the house, Xu Bo, is still here."

"Then take me to find Uncle Xu."

"Yes, come with me." The thin figure walked quickly towards the front yard.

After walking around the long corridor, I saw an old man with half white hair, hunched over, sweeping the floor.

"Uncle Xu, the girl in the wing room has woken up, and she asked me to bring her to find you."

The little maid timidly bowed to the old man.

The old man stood up and bowed slightly towards Gu Manzhu.

"The girl is awake, but what do you need?"

"No, no, where is your master?" Gu Manzhu waved her hand embarrassedly.

"My master had an emergency last night and left town. Before he left, he told me to take good care of you."

Xu Bo looked respectful.

"Ah, no, no, I'll leave if I want to. It was me who troubled your master in the first place."

“Gugugugu…” Gu Manzhu swallowed.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Can you give me something to eat? I'm so hungry."

"Of course, I'll ask someone to prepare it right away," Xu Bo said respectfully to Gu Manzhu.

Then he turned to the little maid standing beside him and said, "Xiao Liu, go to the kitchen and prepare something for the girl."

"Yes." Xiao Liu trotted to the kitchen.

"Burp, I'm so full!"

Gu Manzhu slumped in the chair.

He touched his round belly and burped.

Gu Manzhu rubbed her overeaten stomach while thinking about her current situation after traveling through time.

The original owner was the daughter of a family in Xiashan Village.

Unable to resist the greed and vanity of the family, she was drugged by her greedy aunt and sold to a landlord in the small town as a concubine.

The original owner, who had already been abused at home, was drugged with a very powerful Fengqing powder.

His body couldn't bear the pain and he died, which happened to allow Gu Manzhu from another world to travel through time.

"Tsk, the original owner was really miserable, her father didn't love her, and her mother didn't love her."

Gu Manzhu breathed a sigh of relief and thought about how to escape from the sea of ​​suffering. She could never go back to that home.

"If I can't go back, then I can't go back. I don't want to go back. It's much more comfortable to be alone."

Gu Manzhu clapped her hands and her eyes lit up. She didn't believe that she, a time traveler, couldn't make it in this era.

But the most important thing if you want to start your own business is money.

She has nothing on her now and is extremely poor.

"Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu!" Gu Manzhu suddenly thought of something, sat up straight and shouted to the door.

"What are your orders, girl?"

"Uncle Xu, did your master leave any money when he left?" Gu Manzhu asked Uncle Xu quietly.

"Yes, young lady. When the master left, he left some silver for us to guard the house."

Gu Manzhu's round eyes rolled.

"Then can you lend me some? I can write an IOU."

Xu Bo was surprised for a moment: "How much does the girl need?"

"Hey, Uncle Xu, please sit down and let's chat!"

"No, no, there is a difference between master and servant, they cannot sit at the same table." Xu Bo waved his hands quickly.

"What's the big deal? Besides, I'm not your master. Please sit down."

Gu Manzhu pulled Xu Bo's sleeve and pushed him down on the chair.

"Uncle Xu, can you tell me about the price trends in this area and the regional distribution?"

Gu Manzhu poured a glass of water and placed it next to Xu Bo.

"Okay girl, this place is a town called Qingshi Town. There are four villages around the town, namely Liudong Village, Xiashan Village, Shangshan Village and Liuxi Village..."

Xu Bo's mouth was dry as he spoke, so he picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of water.

"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Gu Manzhu thanked him gratefully.

Gu Manzhu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Xu, which of the surrounding villages is the farthest from Xiashan Village?"

"The four villages are located on the four sides of the town. Xiashan Village is located in the south, and Shangshan Village in the north is the farthest away." Xu Bo said after swallowing a mouthful of water.

"So, how are the people in Shangshan Village?"

"Compared to other countries, the national customs of our Yuming country are the best, and the people are naturally of high quality. Shangshan Village has even produced a scholar, so the quality of the people is better than that of other villages."
