Early the next morning, Jiang Jiang came out of Muwa Lane and saw a simple carriage parked at the entrance of the lane.

"boarding."

Gu Yanqing, dressed in a scholar's robe, lifted the curtain of the carriage and waved at Jiang Jiang.

Jiang Jiang nodded, looked around carefully, and then quickly jumped into the car.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Jiang's sneaky look caught Gu Yanqing's attention, and he asked curiously.

"I didn't see anything. Let's get out of the city."

Jiang Jiang shrank back into the carriage.

She hadn't expected Gu Yanqing to dare wait for her near the Ministry of Works in broad daylight. What if someone from the Ministry saw her? What if her eldest brother and Lin Wenhe saw her? What if some unknown official passing by saw her?

【Gu Yanqing: So am I something that cannot be seen in public?】

**

The driver drove the carriage slowly out of Muwa Lane. Jiang Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief after walking quite a distance away. At the same time, she also realized something a little too late.

Wait, why is she so panicked?

Even if someone really caught them, it would be Gu Yanqing who was exposed, not her!

Jiang Jiang was a little annoyed, then looked up at Gu Yanqing beside her, only to see that he looked calm and composed, not seeming panicked at all.

Prime Minister Gu is worthy of being Prime Minister Gu. He has strong psychological quality and an extremely stable mental state.

"what happened?"

Seeing Jiang Jiang looking at him in confusion, Gu Yanqing raised his eyelids lazily and asked her a question.

"Your robe today looks great. I've never seen you wear it before. It's different when you have money. You have new clothes one after another." Jiang Jiang thought of the first time she met Gu Yanqing, when he was wearing a patched scholar's robe.

Is that dress a prop?

But the last time she helped him tidy up his closet, she saw that robe. The clothes were carefully placed in the closet and folded neatly, as if it was not just a prop.

Gu Yanqing, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Jiang's words. It turned out that his uncle really made a lot of new clothes for him. Gu Yanqing didn't care much about it. After all, he never paid much attention to these things.

Uncle Ping: Hehe, since you often go out with Miss Jiang Jiang, it's natural that you need to wear nice new clothes!

【Gu Yanqing:……】

The carriage slowly drove out of the capital. Jiang Jiang sat in the carriage and chatted with Gu Yanqing.

The official roads outside the capital are still very busy. After all, there are countless people and caravans entering and leaving the capital every day.

"Xu."

The driver finally stopped the carriage next to a market in the outer city. This was the most prosperous street in the outer city, and the private school where Jiang Ping was studying was not far away.

Jiang Jiang and Gu Yanqing got out of the car. Both of them were dressed gorgeously and had outstanding looks, which quickly attracted the attention of many people. However, those people only took a few quick glances at them and quickly looked away.

In this world, people are born into different classes.

People like them who are just peasants in the market don't dare to look directly at those young men and women in gorgeous clothes. Otherwise, who knows if they will be in trouble and suffer unexpected misfortune?

"Is this your first time here?"

Jiang Jiang asked Gu Yanqing as she walked forward.

Gu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "It is indeed my first time here."

Eight years ago, before he brought Gu Yanhuan to Beijing, he stayed in a dilapidated temple outside the capital for one night. At that time, he had never been to the market in the outer city.

"Although this part of the outer city is a bit run-down, it's very lively and has a more down-to-earth feel." Jiang Jiang introduced some famous shops in the outer city to Gu Yanqing as they walked. When they passed a dessert shop, Jiang Jiang couldn't help but smile: "This shop was opened by my cousin, and now my mother is managing it."

Jiang Jiang's mother?

Hearing Jiang Jiang mention this, for some reason, Gu Yanqing felt a little nervous in his heart: "Then...should we go in and pay our respects?"

Jiang Jiang was startled and looked at Gu Yanqing with a puzzled look: "Are you hungry? Do you want dessert?"

"That's not true."

Gu Yanqing was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know why he said that.

"I'll invite you over for lunch at noon. Let's go to the private school first."

Jiang Jiang thought Gu Yanqing really liked desserts, so she said it casually and then continued to walk forward with Gu Yanqing.

After walking for a while and reaching the end of the street, Jiang Jiang took Gu Yanqing into a small alley with ease. When they were almost at the end of the alley, they both heard the sound of reading aloud.

"The private school in front is the outer city. There is only one such school in the entire outer city."

Jiang Jiang introduced Gu Yanqing: "There is quite a lot of vacant land in this area. My first choice is to rebuild a large academy nearby. What do you think?"

"Yes, it's spacious enough here." Gu Yanqing nodded.

Things like buying and selling land are very complicated for ordinary people, but for Gu Yanqing, it is just a matter of a word.

Now Gu Yanqing didn’t take the land purchase matter seriously. Instead, he was more curious about the small private school nearby.

He walked over quietly, as if afraid of disturbing the students there, while Jiang Jiang followed Gu Yanqing silently.

There weren't many children in the private school, and they included all sizes. Some had snot bubbles running down their noses, and some were about the same height as Jiang Jiang and looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.

These children, regardless of age, sat in the yard and listened to the class very attentively. Some of them had paper and pens, while some did not, and even held branches...

I don't know when the sound of reading stopped.

Jiang Ping put down the book in his hand and stared at the two figures who had come in at some point. His gaze finally fell on Gu Yanqing.

There is no other reason, Gu Yanqing's appearance is really outstanding!

Such a handsome and noble scholar suddenly appeared here with Jiang Jiang, which made Jiang Ping feel very unrealistic.

How could my daughter find such an outstanding man?

This is impossible!

There must be something fishy about this matter!

[Jiang Jiang: Who are you looking down on╭(╯^╰)╮]

"Cough cough."

After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Ping came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and suddenly asked seriously, "Jiang Jiang, why are you here?"

"Dad, I brought some friends to the outer city to hang out, and I came to see you."

Jiang Jiang walked up to Jiang Ping with a smile, and then introduced him seriously: "This is my friend Yan Chong. Yan Chong, this is my father. He is the teacher here."

"Hello, Uncle Jiang." Gu Yanqing met Jiang Ping's gaze and suddenly felt a very strange pressure.

strangeness.

Normally, neither Emperor Jianping nor the civil and military officials could give him this kind of oppressive feeling. Why... was the oppressive look from Jiang Jiang's father so strong?

[Jiang Ping: Ahem, this is probably the legendary... the death stare from my future father-in-law?]
