Chapter 541 Farewell
This time, Gu Manxiu also felt a little bit reluctant to part with them, after all, they are people who have been together for so long, especially their simplicity has always made Gu Manxiu feel very heartwarming.

Seeing that Gu Manxiu's eyes were already red, Jiang Yichen also took her hand, "Let's leave everyone, we will meet again later, this time I really have to leave, I hope everyone can do it convenient."

Hearing these words, many people lowered their heads and wiped their tears silently. This time they remembered Gu Manxiu and Jiang Yichen, knowing that there are still good officials in the capital.

When the magistrate came out and saw such a scene, he was filled with emotion, but he still told them to disperse.

This time, Gu Manxiu and the others could leave. Originally, returning to the capital should be a joyful event, but at this moment, Gu Manxiu felt a big stone in her heart, making her a little out of breath.

"Jiang Yichen, we will come again in the future."

"Will do."

Jiang Yichen took Gu Manxiu's hand and replied softly.

He knows that Gu Manxiu is a person who is easy to empathize with, and in the current situation, no matter who sees it, it will be uncomfortable. It is normal for Gu Manxiu to feel this way.

It's just that after they returned to the capital, the south of the Yangtze River is probably very far away from them. After all, they came here this time because they came to control the water.

Not to mention the tiring journey along the way, there will still be many uncertain factors. It is estimated that their chances of coming in the future are very slim.

How could Gu Manxiu not know, she was just comforting herself in her heart.

Besides, in the current situation, she hopes that the people will not be too sad. Their homes have just been rebuilt, and they need to maintain a good attitude.

"Jiang Yichen, if the transportation is convenient, we can actually reach Jiangnan in less than a day."

Hearing this, before Jiang Yichen could say anything, Li Hetong began to laugh at Gu Manxiu's ignorance.

"That's what you said wrong. Whether it's water or other roads, it's impossible to reach Jiangnan in one day."

Gu Manxiu rolled her eyes, because they didn't know what an airplane was or what a high-speed train was. If they knew, they wouldn't think it was anything unusual.

But when I told some ancient people about this, they probably didn’t understand

On the contrary, Jiang Yichen responded to Gu Manxiu's words with a smile, "People are always improving, maybe in the near future we will really be able to see the situation of going to the south of the Yangtze River within a day?"

Li Hetong thought it was Jiang Yichen deliberately coaxing Gu Manxiu, and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't know that this was what Jiang Yichen was thinking in his heart. In his opinion, people may not always develop to a height they could not imagine.

Otherwise, what is the use of them reading so many books?
"Master Li, if you dislike our ignorance, you'd better not hold your fishing rod. I heard Uncle Zhang say that you won't be able to catch a single fish in ten days and half a month."

Li Hetong couldn't help gnashing his teeth a little bit, Zhang Abo even told Gu Manxiu about such a private matter, wouldn't his fame for the rest of his life be ruined here?
Thinking of this, Li Hetong gave Gu Manxiu a sad look, as if he had never won against Gu Manxiu in a fight, not to mention that Gu Manxiu's methods always amazed him.

But because Jiang Yichen was there, Gu Manxiu didn't say too much, she still saved face for Li Hetong.

But Li Hetong didn't think it was a matter of face, it was his own dignity.

Because there was no rush on the way back, Gu Manxiu was going to find an inn to take a rest, but by chance, she came to the previous black shop, and now it has changed owners, but I don't know if it is still a black shop.

"I'm a little hungry, let's rest here for the night first."

"it is good."

Faced with Gu Manxiu's request, Jiang Yichen naturally did not refuse.

So a group of people prepared to rest here, but this time the shopkeeper was much more normal. Hearing that they had been here before, he hurriedly explained that he was innocent.

"I've heard before that the original owner of the shop here was a black shop owner, but I'm not. This is a serious inn, and I will definitely not have any bad influence on you."

I was afraid that if I said it too late, Gu Manxiu would take care of me.

He had heard before that the black shop was cleaned up by such a group of people.

"It can be seen that you, the shopkeeper, are a good person."

Gu Manxiu would not make things difficult for them, and told them to serve the food quickly, and she should have a good rest after eating.

Jiang Yichen looked at Gu Manxiu worriedly, feeling that Gu Manxiu seems to be particularly tired recently.

To this, Gu Manxiu replied, "Maybe I was too tired before, so I want to make up for it now."

In fact, Gu Manxiu didn't know what was going on, but if he was sleepy, he would rest and it wouldn't delay their schedule, so it wasn't a big deal.

Jiang Yichen was a little worried, and wanted to ask a doctor to diagnose Gu Manxiu, but Gu Manxiu refused, "I have nothing to do, so I won't trouble the doctors."

Everyone is quite tired during this period, it is better to take a good rest.

Jiang Yichen was helpless, knowing that Gu Manxiu had a character of being one-sided, he probably didn't feel uncomfortable, that's why he said so.

As for Li Hetong, seeing such a scene only made his teeth sour.

"Knowing that you two have a good relationship, can you go back to your room and love me again?"

He looked awkward, and it was only the young couple who had such an idea. If they were old couples, they would probably be bored by this time.

Hearing this, Gu Manxiu looked at him innocently, "Sir Li misses his wife in Jingzhong, so he thinks we're bored? We're actually not very close, are we?"

After all, Jiang Yichen is a scholar who abides by etiquette, and now at most it is just holding Gu Manxiu's little hand in public. In Gu Manxiu's eyes, this is really not that close.

Immediately, Li Hetong became angry, and he had a new understanding of Gu Manxiu's ability to irritate people. He didn't know what Jiang Yichen liked about Gu Manxiu, and why he married such a wife.

Fortunately, he praised Gu Manxiu a few words before, but now it seems that he has to take back the previous praise, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Gu Manxiu ate a few mouthfuls listlessly, and then went upstairs to rest.

"Master Jiang, why don't you have a drink with me?"

He was already worried about Gu Manxiu, but now Jiang Yichen refused without even thinking about it, "No, I still have something to do and I'm a little tired, so I won't disturb Master Li's pleasure."

Drinking alone without consciousness, Li Hetong found Yanxiu again, but Yanxiu also had the same attitude.
