After coming out of Qiaozhen's house, Gu Yunxi got on the carriage and ran towards Xijiang Village with Lu Jianchuan.

She went to Qiaozhen's house specifically, but she didn't even think about going to Lao Gu's house to say something.

In her opinion, as long as important matters were concerned, the Lu family could interact with each other according to etiquette. As for going to the capital, it was a private matter and she didn't want to tell the old Gu family.

Lu Jianchuan also knew what she was thinking and didn't say anything.

The couple stayed at home for another two days, and it was time to leave for the capital.

Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi prepared enough daily necessities, and at the strong request of Father Lu and Hao Feng, they took Hao Dachun with them to the capital.

Seeing Lu Jianchuan taking the initiative to hold the reins, Hao Dachun hurriedly put down his baggage and ran over to snatch the rope: "Master, you and the young lady sit down while I drive the carriage."

Seeing this, Lu Jianchuan nodded and helped Gu Yunxi get into the carriage.

The couple sat in the carriage, raised the curtain and talked: "Father, mother, grandma, Grandma Dong, let's set off then. See you in the New Year."

Under the reluctant gazes of everyone in the Lu family and Granny Dong, Hao Dachun raised his whip and made the carriage roll.

Soon, the carriage turned a corner and disappeared from everyone's sight, driving further and further away...

Hao Dachun hurried on without stopping for two full hours. By noon, he had covered less than half the distance.

He was so hungry that he couldn't exert himself. Although Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi brought some food, they couldn't bear the fatigue of traveling, so they asked Hao Dachun to find a place to stop and rest.

Hao Dachun stopped the carriage in front of a wine shop and ordered the wine shop clerk to take the horse down and feed it.

After the arrangements were made, he followed Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi into the wine shop and had a meal.

The three of them filled their stomachs, rested briefly, and then started on their way again.

After another two hours of running around, the horses were exhausted, and Hao Dachun, who was driving the carriage, was also a little overwhelmed.

Lu Jianchuan was okay, but Gu Yunxi had just given birth and his body had not fully returned to normal. After running around all day, he felt sore all over his body.

Lu Jianchuan felt distressed and guilty, so Hao Dachun stopped, found a nearby inn, and asked for two rooms for the night.

He and Gu Yunxi lived in the same room, and Hao Dachun lived in the same room.

I've had enough rest tonight and will continue my journey tomorrow morning.

At night, Lu Jianchuan asked for some hot water, wiped Gu Yunxi's body, and soaked her feet in hot water before she fell asleep.

Lu Jianchuan felt heartbroken when he saw her sleeping soundly.

If he persists for one more day, it will be fine if he reaches the capital, he thought to himself.

Early on the next morning, the three of them had a simple breakfast at the inn. Hao Dachun drove the carriage and continued towards the capital.

Perhaps because of their experience from the previous day, the three of them were not in such a hurry on this day.

Hao Dachun stopped his horse to rest for a while every hour. Gu Yunxi and Lu Jianchuan also got off the carriage to stretch their muscles.

In this way, after another day, the three of them finally arrived in the capital at Wushi.

Lu Jianchuan followed the address given by his grandfather, Mr. Hao, and went to see the door.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After a while, the door opened and a head poked out.

The uncle guarding the door seemed to be about the same age as Father Lu. He asked nervously: "Who are you?"

"The surname is Lu Jianchuan." Lu Jianchuan looked calm and glanced at the gatekeeper, feeling dissatisfied.

Before Mingming came, his grandfather Mingming told him that he had arranged for several servants to guard the house, and also informed them that he would arrive in the capital soon.

Right now, the gatekeeper has no discernment at all.

Forget it, after Lu Jianchuan reported his name, the uncle guarding the door looked at the three of them with contempt in his eyes.

"Are you as poor and destitute as you are? How dare you pretend to be my master? My master is a master of civil affairs, how can he be compared to a poor man like you?"

"Young man, stay where you can to cool down. Get out of here and don't force me to do anything."

After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he looked impatient again, retracted his body, and was about to close the door.

When Lu Jianchuan saw this, there was already a layer of anger on his face.

Hao Dachun was even more furious. Without saying a word, he stepped forward and cursed angrily: "You bitch, open your eyes and see clearly. We are poor and destitute?"

Although Hao Dachun himself is a servant, the master of the Lu family is kind-hearted. He will make clothes for them during festivals and happy events, and he uses fine cotton fabrics. How can he be shabby?

Even in Fucheng before, the ordinary servants of Hao Mansion wore nothing more than cotton clothes made of the most ordinary materials.

In the capital, no matter how tall you are, can you still let your servants wear silk clothes?

Look at the gatekeeper himself. He is only wearing fine cotton clothes. Where does he have the nerve to say such a thing?

The two masters, Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi, had traveled for two days and hadn't been able to wash themselves properly, so it was understandable that they looked gray.

In addition, they don’t like luxury and are not used to wearing satin materials. They prefer the texture of fine cotton...

Unexpectedly, this outfit was not despised by other people in the capital, but it was the first one to be despised by his own servants.

How can I bear this tone?

The more Hao Dachun thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He simply rushed over, pushed the uncle guarding the door with all his strength, and opened the door.

"You, what are you doing? Let me tell you, breaking into a private house is a capital crime!"

The gatekeeper couldn't beat Hao Dachun, who was covered in tendons. His eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment, and he kept shouting and threatening.

However, Hao Dachun ignored him and directly called Lu Jianchuan and Gu Yunxi into the house.

When the gatekeeper saw this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, put down his harsh words and hurried inside.

After a while, the three of them had just moved their bags to the door when they saw the uncle guarding the door trotting over screaming.

Behind him were several men who looked like servants.

The uncle guarding the gate: "If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine, so don't blame us for being rude."

"Hmph, if you guys kneel on the ground and call me grandpa right now, I can think about it and forgive you."

Hao Dachun became angry and was about to rush over to beat someone, but Lu Jianchuan stopped him.

"Dachun, don't be impulsive."

Lu Jianchuan looked calm, glanced at everyone, and said: "I, Lu Jianchuan, will not change my name if I don't want to change my surname."

"You are the servants arranged by my grandfather, Mr. Hao, that is, the servants of my Lu family. How could you be so confused that you think we are not the masters of the Lu family just based on our clothes?"

His words, although in a calm tone, made several men following the uncle guarding the gate shake.

One of the men hesitated and said: "This, could this really be our master? I heard that the master's home is in the countryside..."

The other man turned pale with fright and said, "I've heard about this too. Could it be that Uncle Zhang really made a mistake?"

Uncle Zhang was the uncle guarding the door. At this time, he was listening to the discussion of the servants beside him, and his face turned pale.
