Chapter 63: Separation

Early the next morning, Gu Wanchao followed the people arranged by Uncle Gu to meet several rouge gouache suppliers, she tried each rouge, and finally determined the supplier, and signed the deed of supply with the other party.

After settling the goods, Gu Wanchao remembered that he hadn't seen Xiao Yu'an for a long time, so he ran to the gate of the palace as usual and waited for Xiao Yu'an to leave the palace after handling affairs.

As a result, Xiao Yu'an was not seen until dark, and Gu Wanchao got into the carriage and returned to Gu's mansion.

In the general judgment mansion, Xiao Yuan is still checking the account books, and now he is in charge of the grain transportation and salt fishing in the entire Kyoto after all, and he must read all the account books left by the previous Beijing general judgment to avoid mistakes.

"Master, the county lord of Jianing has been at the palace gate for a long time today, as if he is waiting for someone." Lin Ya added tea for Xiao Yu'an, and informed Xiao Yu'an about Gu Wanchao's waiting in front of the palace gate today.

"Have you waited?" Xiao Yu'an asked without raising his head.

"No, but, as far as my subordinates know, in the past, the county lord of Jianing was waiting for you at the gate of the palace, and when you suddenly took office, she was probably busy, so she waited at the gate of the palace for a long time."

Lin Ya kept talking, her eyes staring at Xiao Yu'an's face, for fear that Xiao Yu'an would be angry because of what she said.

"Well, I see, you go down first." Xiao Yu'an basically doesn't care about personal affairs when he is busy, and after listening to Lin Ya's words, he will retire him.

It has been more than five days since he took office as the general judge of the Beijing government, and he has been staying in the palace to check the account books for the past few days, and he really forgot to tell Gu Wanchao that he has been appointed as the general judge of the Beijing government.

After reading the last ledger in his hand, he rubbed his eyes and put all the ledgers away.

Recalling what Lin Ya said in his mind, Xiao Yu'an got up and rubbed his neck, and went out at night.

At this time, Gu Wanchao was sitting in the room, and the candlelight in the room illuminated Gu Wanchao's whole face.

Far away, Xiao Yu'an saw Gu Wanchao in the room.

After seeing Gu Wanchao, whose face was still good in the room, Xiao Yu'an left the Gu Mansion with confidence.

The next day, Xiao Yu'an, who had already finished reading all the account books, was waiting at the gate of the palace early for Gu Wanchao, who went to the palace to study.

After waiting for about half an hour, I finally waited for Gu Wanchao, who was long overdue.

"Xiao Yu'an?" Seeing Xiao Yu'an waiting at the gate of the palace, Gu Wanchao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"I heard that you waited at the gate of the palace for a long time yesterday, but you were waiting for me?" Xiao Yu'an asked Gu Wanchao straight to the point.

"I originally wanted to tell you that I had already finalized the supplier of rouge gouache, but I waited at the gate of the palace for a long time yesterday and didn't see you."

Gu Wanchao nodded.

At this time, Xiao Yu'an looked at Gu Wanchao in front of him, and listened to her words that she was indeed waiting for her at the gate of the palace yesterday, Xiao Yu'an felt a little sorry in her heart.

"I was reappointed as the general judge of the Beijing government five days ago, and I forgot to tell you, I'm sorry." Xiao Yu'an informed Gu Wanchao of his re-admission to the Jingfu General Judgment.

Hearing this, Gu Wanchao couldn't help but feel a little surprised, after all, she was busy with things in the shop these days, and she had never heard of Xiao Yu'an's reappointment.

"So fast?" Gu Wanchao really didn't expect that Xiao Yu'an would be reappointed so early, and she still thought that she would have to wait for the end of the Hanlin Academy exam no matter what.

"His Majesty's holy decree has already arrived at home before, and it's not too fast to say, after the holy decree arrived, I took office after half a month, because I just took office, and I am not familiar with many things, so I have been checking the account book for the past few days."

Xiao Yu'an explained the reason why he had disappeared these days.

"Then you've finished reading all your account books?"

"Well, I just finished reading it last night, by the way, if you call me next time, remember to send a message directly to the carrier pigeon, but don't wait." Xiao Yu'an instructed Gu Wanchao.

"Okay." Gu Wanchao nodded and responded obediently.

"It's not too early, you go to the palace quickly, don't live in the Xiao family's branch now. I'll have to go back and get some stuff today. Xiao Yu'an knew that he couldn't stop Gu Wanchao for too long, otherwise it would delay her to go to the morning class, so he urged Gu Wanchao to enter the palace quickly.

When Gu Wanchao heard this, he also hurriedly rushed to the East Palace.

After Xiao Yu'an watched her departing back disappear from sight, she turned around and left and returned to Xiao's mansion.

In Le Anju, Aunt Hua had already packed up his things early in the morning, but Xiao Yu'an didn't want to take any of these things, and the things he wanted to take were in another place.

He took Lin Ya to the wooden house, where the half-finished products in the yard were still lying quietly, and he raised his hand to push open the door, revealing the scene inside the house.

At the beginning, he made a room of lanterns for Gu Wanchao, but now a few years have passed, the lanterns are still there, but Gu Wanchao has not come to see them again.

Xiao Yu'an chuckled, picked up a lantern on the ground and put it on the table, and walked inside.

He took a small box out of a drawer in the room and held it in his hand, and he turned away without opening it to check if it was still there.

Lin Ya really felt strange, his master rushed back to take such a broken box?

"Let's have lunch here today before we go." Aunt Hua, who was already ready to separate, was still reluctant after all.

As soon as Xiao Yu'an left like this, the already deserted Le'an Ju became even more deserted, although occasionally there were other ladies in other rooms who came over to get close to Aunt Hua because Xiao Yu'an was an official. But after all, they came for a purpose, and Aunt Hua didn't like to deal with them very much.

"Okay." Xiao Yu'an knew that Aunt Hua was reluctant, how could he be reluctant, but he was a concubine, Aunt Hua was an aunt, even if he wanted to take his mother with him, he could only be his mother-in-law.

After lunch, Aunt Hua knew that she couldn't keep it, so she hid in the room and didn't come out.

"Leave a few people to watch Le'anju's good life, no one is allowed to let Aunt Hua be bullied a little, and tell me anything in Le'anju in time."

Xiao Yu'an glanced at Aunt Hua, who was hiding in the bedroom and couldn't come out, and ordered Lin Ya beside her.

Subsequently, Xiao Yu'an left the Xiao Mansion and went to his new residence, the Tongju Mansion.

After he put the box he retrieved from Le'anju in the bedroom, he ordered someone to carry the luggage that Aunt Hua had packed into the house.

"Master, where do you put all these things?" Lin Ya stared at the things in his hand, and was really embarrassed by how to display them.

"You can watch and let it go, as long as you don't go too far." Xiao Yu'an gave him the right to arrange freely.

It took the master and servant more than half an hour to sort it out.

After the end, the deserted Tongju Mansion finally gained some popularity.
