Chapter 88 088: Arriving at the Imperial Capital (2)

"There is no news yet. The Prime Minister's Mansion still seems to be in no hurry as usual, and no one is looking for it."

"But according to the intel, it seems that another carriage has traveled that road and is now heading towards the imperial capital."

The young man's fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest of the rocking chair and made a soft sound.

His eyes were a little vacant and he muttered to himself.

"Are you on your way here..."

The boy didn't say anything else after he said that ambiguous sentence.

He stood up from the rocking chair unhurriedly, then closed his wide sleeves that were somewhat wrinkled before, and walked toward the house behind him without saying a word.

Let’s talk about returning to the business side of six people and one cat——

We have been on the road for nearly another day. Except for a few people who had a short rest during lunch, they were either on the road or on the road the rest of the time.

However, the speed was faster than before, allowing them to finally reach the outside of the imperial capital before the city gate closed. They were only a few dozen steps away from actually stepping inside.

But at this time, Gui Shang asked them to stop the carriage in a relatively secluded place, and he jumped out of the carriage neatly.

She planned to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she would take Wei Changying and Chi Si with her for the time being, while the rest would hibernate in the Imperial Capital for the time being.

This is what I thought in my heart, and Gui Shang naturally said the same thing.

She looked at them, casually pinched the warm ears of Longtail, who had woken up in her arms and was stretching comfortably at this moment, and her tone was as calm as ever.

She first looked at Wei Changying and Chi Si.

"Just you two will follow me to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a while. You don't need to say anything more. Just cooperate with me."

After saying this, she turned her attention to Chi Yi and the others, and raised her lips.

"You three, take this carriage and bullock cart and find a remote yard to rent for a while. I will take part of the money Yu Anlin gave you, and you can keep the rest and buy it yourself."

"When you have nothing to do recently, you can ask more about what has happened in the Imperial Capital recently. See you in Weishi in three days at the most famous stall selling rice dumplings on Nantian Road."

After saying this, Gui Shang carefully took care of his neat clothes, took a man and a woman to look around carefully before finally leaving.

The three people who were left behind nodded obediently and did not ask why. They just stood there and watched their master leave from a distance.

After seeing their master step into the city gate and disappear completely from the eyes of the three of them, they calmly led the two cars and walked onto the nearest road from an unobtrusive place, heading towards the gate of the imperial capital. The direction slowly walked over.

*
The weather in autumn had begun to turn cooler. They were stopped by soldiers at the city gate and checked carefully before letting the three people in.Gui Shang raised his head and glanced curiously at the city wall and majestic city gate in his memory, and then quickly shifted his gaze to the bustling street in front of him.

When you step into the city gate, the first thing you see is the Nantian Road that Gui Shang had just made an appointment with Chi Yi and others.

There are really many people here and it’s really lively.

It was only a few steps from the city gate to where we were standing, and we had already passed by three sellers of candied haws, two sellers of sugar water, and a small stall selling meat buns.

When he reached Tang Hua, Gui Shang finally couldn't hold back his curiosity and walked forward.

An old man who looked quite young stirred the maltose that was still steaming. An adult held the little girl and watched the movements of the old man's hands for a moment, and kept saying, "I want a kitten, I want a kitten!"

Changwei in Gui Shang's arms twitched his ears, raised his fluffy head and glanced in the direction of the little baby, opened his mouth and yawned widely before falling asleep again.

Wei Changying walked to Gui Shang's side and happened to see the old man selling sugar paintings using a small round stick made of unknown material. After dipping it in maltose, he straightened his sleeves, lowered his waist and stared closely at his hands. The "pen" started to show off its skills on the edible candy paper smoothly and freely.

Chi Si stood half a step away from his master, following everyone else's example and quietly looking at the small stall in front of him. However, he looked around at the faces of the people around him with his peripheral vision, judging each one in his mind. Whether a person is unfavorable to his master.

More and more people were gathering around, mostly parents with their children, but people of their age were very rare.

It was already dark, but Nantian Road was brightly lit, and the shouts of vendors on both sides of the street were endless, making it even more lively than during the day.

Gui Shang took out a few coins from his purse and handed them to the old man. The little girl who asked for the candy painting of the kitten had already left here. She walked through the crowd and sat on her father's head, looking left and right curiously. From time to time, He will also lick a few mouthfuls of the already licked kitten candy.

The old man looked at her with a smile after finishing his last business, "Little girl, what kind of sugar painting do you want?"

There was a little smile on Gui Shang's face, and his bright eyes and white teeth seemed to be filled with starlight, and there was a very obvious excitement in his eyes.

"Old man, here are three mountain civet candy men!"

The old man exclaimed with a smile and quickly started drawing, handing them to Gui Shang one by one.

She first gave the first two to Wei Changying and Chi Si next to her, then pinched the last one behind her free hand, then opened her mouth and tried to lick it with some caution, imitating the appearance of the little girl she had seen before. lick.

Wei Changying took a big bite after getting the candy man, chewing the candy crumbs in his mouth that seemed to be sweet to the tip of his heart, and said with tears in his eyes, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, master, you are so good, and you can still make delicious food" Give me your share..."

After saying those heartfelt words, she looked at her master's cherished little bite and subconsciously changed her previous attitude of biting it down without caring about the image, and imitated her master's example of holding it in her mouth and licking it.

Chi Si was stunned when his master stretched out his hand to hand it over, but he quickly reacted and took his own portion in his hand, following his master quietly, but just handed it over. I held the sugar painting in my hand but did not eat it.

Wei Changying, who was eating happily, tilted his head in the direction of his movements in confusion, "Xiaosi, why don't you eat it? This is so sweet, with a little black sesame sprinkled on top. It tastes delicious in your mouth." Got it!"

Wei Changying had heard of it before but had never tasted it. This was her first time to taste what a candy man was like!
