"No, it's the Third Miss, it's the Eldest Miss..." Butler Lin started chattering on about everything that happened in the garden.

This also includes the eldest and third daughters going out.

From beginning to end, the general didn't say a word.

But looking at his back, he seemed to have aged a lot, Butler Lin thought.

It seems that I have only done one thing right in my life, and that is to go to the border to fight and protect millions of people in the Li Kingdom.

As a husband and a father, I haven't done well enough. Will you blame me?

I think so. I lost our daughter for so long...

At this time, the sun was shining on the streets and alleys of Shangjing City, covering the bluestone roads with a faint golden glow.

When Gu Qianyue and Gu Yier arrived at a busy place, they got off the carriage.

Look at the streets, there are many people walking on them.

There were noble men in gorgeous clothes, simple common people, and merchants from all over the place.

The shops on the street are filled with a wide variety of goods.

There are exquisite silks, gorgeous jewelry, quaint porcelain, and a variety of delicious snacks.

After walking for a while, they came to a jewelry store and selected these exquisite accessories.

Sometimes I walk into a fabric store and touch the soft silk.

They walked and stopped but didn't buy anything. However, they bought a lot of food, all thanks to Liu Yue, the foodie.

At this time, she was holding bags of food of various sizes in her hands, and even her small bag that she carried with her daily was stuffed bulging.

Durian was also inevitably stuffed with a few bags, and then he moved away from Liu Yue with a bit of disgust, following Gu Qianyue's footsteps closely, leaving them all behind for a while.

Why not follow Gu Yier?

Because she also likes to buy things, but not food, but strange things, such as jewelry and some ugly little gadgets.

Suddenly, a melodious flute sound came from the street.

Gu Qianyue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man sitting in the corner of the street, playing the flute.

There was a hint of sadness in his eyes, and the sound of the flute was so plaintive that it moved people.

When the song ended, the man opened his eyes and saw a woman in sky blue clothes stopping in front of his stall.

He was a little nervous because it was the first time someone had listened to my song in its entirety.

Gu Qianyue didn't say anything, just glanced at him indifferently, asked Durian to give him some tips, and then left.

From the beginning to the end, I was just like a passerby, who just thought it sounded nice, stayed for a while, and then left.

Durian took out a gold ingot from his purse and handed it to him.

But he hasn't accepted it yet, which is too much.

"I'm a little tired of holding it, do you want to take it or not?" Durian asked when he saw that he was in a daze.

The man came back to his senses, waved his hand, and said with a trembling voice: "No, it's too much. Thank you for listening to my music."

"You come from the desert?"

He looked around and asked in horror, "How...how did you know?"

"Don't worry about how I know it. If you want to live well, just leave Shangjing City as soon as possible." Durian said in a low voice.

Then he stuffed the gold ingot into his hand and quickly caught up with Gu Qianyue.

The man looked at their backs, then at the gold ingot in his hand, "But I haven't found anyone yet. Should I really leave like this?

After a while, perhaps he saw something, he quickly packed up the things on the stall and the flute, and left quietly.

"Miss, will he leave?" Durian chased after him and asked. After all, he was from that damn place in the desert, so he was very brave.

He actually played Xie Lu's song in the street. This song was the funeral song for the death of princes and nobles, and he actually performed it so beautifully with his flute.

I don't know where he learned it. Fortunately, ordinary people don't understand it. If the nobles in the palace knew about it, I don't know how many heads he would have to chop off.

"He will leave." Gu Qianyue said happily. He was surrounded by many sneaky people just now, so even if he wanted to stay, he couldn't stay for long.

What I didn't expect was that in this huge city of Shangjing, no one could tell that he was playing a funeral tune.

I don't know if it was because he didn't play it accurately, or if it had been a long time since any noble in the capital had died, so the common people had never heard of it.

"Selling candied haws..."

“Fresh fruit...”

The vendors shouted their wares in loud and drawn-out voices.

After a while, Gu Yier came forward with a string of candied haws and handed it to Gu Qianyue.

"Try it, it's sweet and sour and not bad. If you were here, you would definitely be very happy."

"Why, you always involve your senior brother in everything, do you like him?" Gu Qianyue complained. Every time I was with her, I could hear her talking about her senior brother.

"Don't try to stir up trouble between us. Let's go to Fanlou for dinner today, okay?" Gu Yier glared at her and said.

This girl is really something. She will complain if I mention my senior brother three times. I don’t know why she doesn’t like him.

"Okay, I heard that there will be new menus soon." Gu Qianyue agreed.

The two of them walked forward quietly, but the tranquility was soon broken.

"Hey, you two beautiful ladies, where are you going? Are you planning to come and look for me, your brother?"

On the way to Fanlou, Gu Qianyue passed by the entrance of the ghost market and was unexpectedly surrounded by a few thugs.

They were wearing tattered, untidy, loose robes, with stains of wine and dirt on their clothes.

Their hair was also messy, some of it was tied up casually, and some of it was loose, and it looked like it had not been properly taken care of for a long time.

Liu Yue and Durian immediately stepped forward and protected the ladies behind them.

Durian shouted loudly: "How dare you! Do you know who my young lady is? How dare you speak so rudely to me?"

The man in the lead had a face full of flesh and his eyes were fierce and greedy.

After hearing what Durian said, those malicious eyes looked at Gu Qianyue and Gu Yier more boldly.

Then his eyes fell on Gu Yier's chest, and Liu Yue stepped forward to stand in front of Gu Yier.

The dagger in his sleeve was ready, waiting for the master's order to kill them without a complete body.

Gu Yier knew that she would implicate them, so she hid behind Liu Yue obediently to avoid holding them back, and thought about dragging Chong'er along as well.

Seeing that the young lady's breasts were blocked, the man with a face full of flesh averted his gaze, looked at Durian and said with a lewd smile: "Hey, whose pretty lady is this? Looking at her, it's really itchy."

"Why don't you introduce me to your brother?" Without waiting for Durian to speak, a man with a pointed chin and a monkey face chewing a grass stem said.

"You are shameless." Chong'er suddenly blurted out, and then Gu Yier covered her mouth and told her to shut up.

Durian said calmly: "Listen carefully, my young lady is the young lady of the General's Mansion. If you know what's good for you, get out of here. We will let bygones be bygones. Otherwise..."
