Chapter 823: All Familiar Faces
Since Xiang City is Prince Kang’s fief, Prince Kang ascended the throne in Xiang City, and now Xiang City has also become the capital of Great Chu.
Yun Jiao was riding in a carriage into the city. She lifted the curtain and saw the bustling pedestrians on the street; Xiang City was even more lively than before.
As she passed the old Renxin Hall, Yun Jiao exclaimed, "Huh."
She had heard people say that the sign was changed to Renxin Hall, but the plaque still bore the three big characters of Renxin Hall.
Just as she was puzzled, the carriage slowly stopped, and Jiang Youzhi said, "I bought this place a few months ago, and now Father and Xiao Chuan live in the courtyard behind."
Yun Jiao was overjoyed. Jiang Youzhi, holding You Er, got out of the carriage, and they went inside to see Zhang Shun and Liu Zhu dispensing medicine at the counter.
At this moment, a customer who was picking up medicine exclaimed in surprise, "Doctor Gu!"
"Oh my, Doctor Gu, you’re back. Ever since you left, we people of Xiang City haven’t been able to find a good doctor to treat us."
"Will Doctor Gu continue to see patients now?"
Yun Jiao smiled at him, "In the future, if there are difficult and complicated cases, I will come to treat them."
The customer slapped his thigh forcefully, "That’s just wonderful, the people of Xiang City are blessed."
While they were talking, Zhang Shun and Liu Zhu dropped what they were doing and rushed out from inside. They looked at Yun Jiao, their hands and feet were at a loss in excitement, "Doctor Gu, you’re finally back."
"When Mr. Jiang bought the shop, he said you would come back. Now it’s good, we’ve finally waited for you."
Yun Jiao laughed and said, "You guys go ahead, we’ll catch up later."
As she was speaking, a young lad came out carrying a bag. Upon seeing Yun Jiao, he dropped the bag and ran a few steps over, kneeling at Yun Jiao’s feet in tears, "Master, you’re back."
Yun Jiao laughed, her eyes unable to hold back tears, not having seen Ah Tie for four years, and he had grown into a young man.
"Get up quickly, why are you kneeling?"
Ah Tie wiped the corners of his eyes and got up from the ground, "Master, all these years, I remembered your words. All the silver I earned, I saved up without spending a single penny recklessly."
"My stepmother came to ask for silver, but I didn’t give her any."
Yun Jiao smiled with gratification, "That’s the right thing to do."
"You’re grown now, it’s time to marry a wife. After I’m done with the busy period, I’ll find a good girl for you."
Ah Tie’s face turned red, and he awkwardly scratched his head.
Yun Jiao walked inside and asked, "Where’s my father?"
Ah Tie said, "The shopkeeper is in the backyard making medicine with Lao Jiu."
Yun Jiao, familiar with the place, headed towards the backyard.
Entering the backyard, she just saw Gu Yuheng coming out of the west wing room. He shouted, "Jiao Jiao!" and rushed over to hug her.
When he left Huining, he didn’t know if he would ever see Yun Jiao again in his lifetime.
Although only separated for a few months, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
At this moment, the You Er held by Jiang Youzhi suddenly started crying.
Gu Yuheng turned his head and saw an adorable little baby, and his heart melted instantly.
Jiang Youzhi very skillfully reached out and touched You Er’s bottom, calmly saying, "Changed, I’ll go change his diaper."
Gu Yuheng quickly said, "Go to the backyard. I’ve left a room for Jiao Jiao there, and it’s all arranged."
As the three headed towards the backyard, Sister Guihua ran out from the kitchen. She looked at Yun Jiao and smiled first, "I heard the shopkeeper call Jiao Jiao, and I thought it might be you coming back. Sure enough!"
