Chapter 961: Straight to the Ring
Chapter 961: Straight to the Ring
Gu Yao grabbed her hand and forced her to take out the money.
After buying things, Gu Yao was about to go back.
Si Chen doesn't want to go back yet and wants to treat Gu Yao to dinner.
This time Gu Yao did not refuse.
I rejected the little girl and made her cry, but it was hard to comfort her!
"Sister, try this. My mother brought me to this restaurant many times when she was still alive. I haven't been here in several years, but the food still tastes the same." Si Chen introduced it to Gu Yao with a smile.
Only then did Gu Yao realize that this little girl, Si Chen, had lost her mother a year ago, and her stepmother had taken over the position, claiming to take care of her.
Isn't this what happened in the backyards of many ancient men?
Most men believe that if their original wife is gone, they will continue to look for a second wife, and everyone takes this attitude for granted.
This is also a portrayal of women in the backyard in ancient times.
Gu Yao didn't know how to persuade her.
After eating, Gu Yao sent the person back.
"Do you live in West City or East City? Sister will take you back. I'm worried about you going back alone." The world is in chaos now, and she was really worried that a kidnapper would abduct her as a little girl wandering around outside.
"I'm in East City, I..." Si Chen was about to continue speaking when he saw the palace's carriage at the door.
"Sister, someone from home is here to pick me up. I'll go back first. I already know where you live. My father will be back in a few days, and I'll ask him to go to your house with me to express my gratitude. I'll send you a letter in advance." Si Chen was not in a very good mood after seeing the incoming carriage.
But he still smiled and talked to Gu Yao: "By the way, sister, I also live in East City."
"Well, that's good. When you come, send me a letter in advance so that I won't have to go out. You also know about my sister's business." Gu Yaogang appropriately mentioned to her the business she was doing now.
Before Si Chen got on the carriage, Mao Tiantian handed over a package of gifts, which were the hot and sour noodles and other delicacies that Gu Yao had specially prepared for him.
The maid who came to pick her up smiled and took it over: "Miss, let's go back. Madam is waiting for you at home."
"Got it. You go sit outside. I want to be alone." Si Chen saw that this person was also from the stepmother's yard.
She doesn't like it at all.
Just in time to go outside and enjoy some cool breeze.
Just what he wanted.
The corners of Gu Yao's mouth twitched.
-
"Miss, Miss Si is so funny." Tiantian giggled.
"Fun? Is this how you think fun is?" Gu Yao sighed.
"Well, she has a good personality, but she has lost her biological mother and has a stepmother at home. Her life must be difficult. Just like what the young lady said, every family has its own problems." Mao Tiantian said carefully.
"Well, so, enjoying the good days now and making yourself live comfortably is the true meaning of happiness in life." Fortunately, she did not travel through time to the backyard of a wealthy family.
Those days were so chaotic that she didn't know how to survive.
"Miss, you have such a good life now. You are the best person in the world, the happiest person, and the best master." Mao Tiantian's eyes were red.
During the time she has been following her master, she has gained some weight on her face.
Even when I was at home before, life was not as easy as it is now.

"Miss, it's done." Xiao Zhen placed a box in front of Gu Yao.
"Arrow?" Gu Yao glanced at the box and looked up at Xiao Zhen.
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Yes, Master, please see if it is suitable. If it is suitable, I will have someone make some more for backup."
He asked someone to make a box, and if there were other problems, he could make improvements.
Gu Yao opened the box, reached out and took it out, stroking it with her hand.
Smooth and delicate, the cold arrow is made very finely.
Gu Yao looked up at him and said, "Try to assemble it yourself. It might be useful."
"Yes, miss, let's try it in the backyard?" Xiao Zhen invited Gu Yaoyao to go to the backyard, which was a training ground built by Xiao Zhen himself.
After the workshop moved to West City, the vacant land became empty, and with Gu Yao's consent, the backyard was turned into a training ground.
There are also Xiao Zhen’s brothers in the workshop. During their rest time, they have to come here to train for at least an hour every day before they can go back to rest.
Xiao Zhen drew his bow and shot the arrow with ease using the palm-sized crossbow.
His eyes were sharp, he stared at the target closely and hit the ten rings.
"How do you feel about this arrow?" Gu Yao asked with a smile, reaching out to take it.
She wants to try it out to see if it works.
She knew how to use it in her previous life and how effective it was.
With a crossbow in hand, he took aim at the target and easily hit the ten rings.
Xiao Zhen raised his eyebrows. The distance was thirty meters. He didn't expect that the young lady could hit the ten rings as easily as him.
"Very impressive." He blurted out, and he said it very seriously.
"It's okay, but this thing is more suitable for you. It's up to you to protect this home. Take it." Gu Yao stuffed the crossbow into Xiao Zhen's hand.
She clapped her hands a few times and walked to the front yard. "This is good. Although it is a little worse than what I used before, it should be the best. I gave you a few good arrows. Don't let others see them. Those arrows may have a longer range than the current ones. Don't take them out unless it is the most dangerous time. The only benefit is that they can shoot a little further, which is not much else."
"Miss, if this thing were discovered by someone in the world, it would definitely cause a sensation in the world. I can't bear to give this good thing to others easily. Miss, you should go to bed early. I will practice for a while in the backyard." Xiao Zhen got such a treasure, just like his own wife, how could he bear to let others touch it.
If this thing was not given by the lady, he would not be willing to let the lady touch it.
"Well, this thing hasn't deformed and can be reused. It's up to you." Gu Yao has been almost exhausted recently.
Go out early and come back late every day.
She needs to have a good rest.

Royal Palace
After Yu submitted the invitation, she had to wait until the middle of the month before she was allowed to enter the palace.
For women in the harem, unless they are promoted to the position of imperial concubine, it is considered good enough if their family members can come in once a year.
It was even more difficult for other women of low status to have the opportunity to have their families visit them in the palace.
"Lady Qian, I finally see you today." Yu held Lady Qian's hand, as if she had found her organization, her eyes full of grievance.
Qian Meiren's mouth twitched: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Isn't everything fine at home now? Why are you still crying?"
What she couldn't stand the most was that her sister-in-law came here to die, making it seem like she was attending a funeral, which was extremely unlucky.
"Miss Qian..." Yu just called out, and this time the tears really came out.
