Chapter 9 Meeting in the Inn
At noon, the carriage drove into a bustling and lively street. Li Yuntong opened the curtains and looked at the endless stream outside the window. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that the capital is indeed much more prosperous than Chang'an."
The carriage that was originally moving forward was suddenly stopped by the carriageman. The carriageman shouted at the people in the carriage, "Uncle Chen, it should be here."
Chen Shuangliang uncovered the curtains of the carriage, looked out the window, turned around and said to Li Yuntong, "Miss, we are here. This is Mr. Chen's mansion."
So Chen Shuangliang arranged for the guys to carry the box containing high-quality fabric to the door of Chen's mansion, and Chen Shuangliang knocked heavily on the door.
The servant of the Chen family opened the door and said with a smile: "Uncle Chen, you are here, please come in quickly."
So Chen Shuangliang ordered the guys to carry the box into the Chen Mansion. Mr. Chen greeted him with a smile: "Uncle Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Master Chen, this is Li Yuntong, the eldest lady of the Li family." Chen Shuangliang introduced Li Yuntong.
"Miss Li, you are your daughter's house and you come to Beijing to deliver goods in person. This is really rare." Mr. Chen said with an incredible smile.
"Mr. Chen, in fact, my daughter's family can also do business like a man. Look, your goods are in this box, please check and accept them. We guarantee that the fabric is of high quality and there is no mistake." Li Yuntong said with a smile.
"Everyone is here for a long journey. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea and have a rest." Mr. Chen said politely.
The servants of the Chen family brought hot tea that was steaming, and people from the Lijia cloth shop in Chang'an began to drink hot tea.
Mr. Chen opened the box and checked it carefully. He saw that the fabric was smooth, colorful and exquisite in patterns. It was undoubtedly the best fabric. Mr. Chen said with satisfaction: "I have checked it. It is all the best fabric. Here is the silver for buying this fabric. Uncle Chen, please keep it." Mr. Chen handed the heavy white silver taken out of the bag to Chen Shuangliang's hand.
Chen Shuangliang took the silver, carefully pointed the number, confirmed that the number was correct, put it in the wallet and put it in it.
After everyone finished drinking the tea, Li Yuntong smiled and said goodbye: "Mr. Chen, thank you for your hot tea. It's getting late, and it's time for us to set off for Chang'an. Goodbye."
"Miss Li, say goodbye." Mr. Chen responded with a smile.
So Li Yuntong and his group left the Chen Mansion. Li Yuntong took the maid Caidie and Chen Shuangliang back to the carriage. The coachman turned his horse's head and drove his horse to the same road to return to Chang'an.
Li Yuntong sat in the carriage, uncovered the curtains, and looked at the endless stream of people on the streets of Beijing, and suddenly remembered Gu Changyu. She couldn't help but look carefully at the people passing by her, thinking that she might be able to see him, but she didn't find any familiar faces.
"Young Master Gu should be in the capital now. Let's see you again if we are destined to be." Li Yuntong thought in her heart with a little regret, and then closed the curtains.
When it was getting dark, the carriage came to the vicinity of an inn.
"Miss, it's getting late. Let's have a meal and stay in this inn tonight." Chen Shuangliang suggested to Li Yuntong.
"Okay, Uncle Chen." Li Yuntong agreed.
So everyone came to this inn to stay in.
Li Yuntong sat in the room where she stayed, eating the steaming hot food that the waiter had just brought in. This time the delivery was safe. She no longer had to worry about the goods, so she felt that the food was more fragrant and delicious when she ate.
After dinner, Li Yuntong casually opened the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. The moon outside the window was very round, and under the hazy moonlight and the lights that shot out from the house, you could vaguely tell which trees are and which flowers and plants are.
Suddenly, the window next door was also pushed open, and a man's head stretched out from the newly opened window. Li Yuntong looked closely and found that it was a familiar face. She couldn't help but shouted: "Young Master Gu, you are here too." Li Yuntong looked surprised and happy.
"Miss Li, have you come to the capital?" Gu Changyu asked with a smile.
"Yes, I came to Beijing to deliver goods. Now the goods have been delivered and are on the way back to Chang'an." Li Yuntong explained.
"Why, you're starting a business." Gu Changyu said with a smile and joked.
"I don't want my father to worry about business matters, so he has to share some of it." Li Yuntong said with a serious expression.
"You are such a filial daughter." Gu Changyu said softly, smiling thoughtfully.
"Come here and sit here." Li Yuntong warmly invited.
"Okay, wait, I'll come." Gu Changyu closed the window after saying that.
Soon, Li Yuntong heard the knock on the door, so she quickly walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, Gu Changyu was the one who came.
Gu Changyu walked in. Li Yuntong closed the door and sat down with Gu Changyu and started chatting.
"This place is not far from the gate of the capital. Are you going to enter the capital or leave the capital?" Li Yuntong asked curiously.
"I want to leave the capital." Gu Changyu replied.
"What are you going to do?" Li Yuntong continued to ask.
"Go to the battlefield in the border to assist my father in attacking the enemy." Gu Changyu said calmly and calmly.
"Going to the battlefield to fight? Wouldn't that be very dangerous?" Li Yuntong asked with concern.
"For soldiers and generals who go to the battlefield, danger is inevitable." Gu Changyu said calmly.
"Yes, I understand." Li Yuntong said softly.
"You said that you would share the business for your father. What happened?" Gu Changyu asked gently when he thought of Li Yuntong's sudden arrival in Beijing to deliver goods.
"The last batch of high-quality fabrics delivered to the capital were actually transferred into discarded ragged cloth. Since then, the reputation of our store has been damaged and the business has decreased a lot." Li Yuntong explained.
"So you decided to take the initiative to transport this batch of goods to the capital this time." Gu Changyu said as Li Yuntong said.
"Yes, I can definitely find out the truth." Li Yuntong said slowly and confidently.
"How is it? Have you found something?" Gu Changyu asked with a smile.
"I'm a little surprised." Li Yuntong said with a mysterious smile.
"Then you are really efficient." Gu Changyu praised Li Yuntong, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That's not as good as you, you're born and died on the battlefield." Li Yuntong said this, and her expression was solemn.
"Okay, it's getting late, we should all rest. We have to hurry up tomorrow morning, Miss Li, say goodbye." Gu Changyu stood up and said goodbye.
"Young Master Gu, say goodbye." Li Yuntong said.
After Mr. Gu left, Li Yuntong closed the door and soon lay on the bed and fell asleep. Li Yuntong felt a little confused when she thought that Gu Changyu was in the next room. Li Yuntong felt a little happy. This night, she slept particularly sweetly.
