Li Mumu thought, it should happen tonight.

But when it really came to this, she still became nervous.

After a while, she finished cleaning up and called Gu Shangqing in, then she went to bed first.

Gu Shangqing cleaned up quickly and heard the sound of water, followed by a rustling sound.

Then, Gu Shangqing walked around the screen and came back.

Seeing that Li Mumu was lying properly, Gu Shangqing also carefully lay down beside her.

There was still an arm's length between the two of them, and Gu Shangqing did not get close.

Li Mumu blinked, feeling very nervous, and actually wanted him to kill her quickly.

After a long while, Li Mumu felt her fingers being touched lightly, and then separated.

Although it happened quickly, Li Mumu still felt it.

Li Mumu blinked, her breathing becoming tense and tight.

But immediately afterwards, Gu Shangqing did not take the next step.

"Husband?" Li Mumu couldn't help but call out.

"Madam." Gu Shangqing asked nervously, "Before I set out, Madam said she accepted me, and I..."

"If Madam is not ready now, there is no need to be nervous." Gu Shangqing said.

"I'm ready." Li Mumu closed her eyes and said, "I... there were some things I couldn't figure out before, but now I have figured them out."

Gu Shangqing turned to look at Li Mumu, "Madam, do you trust me?"

Li Mumu nodded.

Gu Shangqing was delighted and couldn't suppress his smile.

He plucked up his courage, held Li Mumu's hand, then slowly turned sideways and kissed Li Mumu on the forehead.

The soft kiss fell on her brow, the tip of her nose, and finally, tremblingly, fell on Li Mumu's lips.

Li Mumu had never thought that a person's lips could be so soft.

Finally I found out that not everything written in it was false.

She was clearly the one who wasn't moving, but in the end her legs were shaking violently.

Early in the morning of the third day, Gu Shangqing set out for the military camp.

In the afternoon, Li Zhiyin sent a servant from his mansion to report the news to Gu's residence.

"Hello, old man, hello, old lady, hello to all the masters and ladies." The servant greeted them one by one before saying, "My daughter sent me here to congratulate you all."

"What kind of good news is this?" asked Gu's mother in confusion.

He bowed again and said, "General Gu was promoted to the fifth rank Ningyuan General because of his great achievements, capturing the Turkic general alive, and obtaining important intelligence."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. The servant said, "My lady sent me here after hearing about it. As for the details, I am not sure. Maybe we can ask General Gu in detail when he comes back. What the lady meant is that if you know in advance, you will have time to prepare and celebrate for General Gu."

"Yes, yes." Mother Gu nodded repeatedly, "Thank you very much."

Gu's mother now understood the rules among these famous and wealthy families, and gave the servant some money as a reward before letting him leave happily.

The servant had not expected that he would be able to get a reward this time. He thought that the Gu family was originally a small family, and Gu Shangqing was a newly promoted general, and the Gu family would not understand these rules.

When he was sent here, he was very unhappy and envied the servants who were assigned to the Shang Mansion and could get reward money.

The Gu family must not know these rules.

I didn't expect that I actually got it. I left with great joy.

Gu's mother quickly asked Gu Mian to buy some meat and vegetables.

The family is busy in the kitchen.

Gu Shangqing came back in the afternoon.

It was Madam Shang who sent a servant to tell General Shang to go home early today so that the family could celebrate for him.

Let Gu Shangqing go home earlier, the Gu family must be waiting to celebrate with him.

So General Shang let the man go early.

Chu Yiu-ming and Wong Hak-hiau were also promoted, but they had nowhere to go.

Gu Shangqing invited the two to go home and celebrate together, but Zhu Yaoming shook his head and said, "It's fine at other times, but today we're celebrating for you, so we can't go."

"Didn't you also get promoted? Let's celebrate together." Gu Shangqing said.

Huang Kexiao shook his head and said, "The two of us will go to Huizhen Tower to celebrate."

"That's right." Zhu Yaoming pulled Huang Kexiao and Gu Shangqing out together, "It's nice for the two of us to eat and drink at Huizhenlou."

Gu Shangqing had no choice but to separate from them on the way and go home alone.

As soon as she entered the door, Gu's mother came to greet her and said happily, "Miss Li sent a servant to say that you have been promoted to a fifth-rank general!"

Gu Shangqing smiled and nodded, "We were lucky this time. We captured the enemy general."

"This time, through that general, we learned of the Turkic plan and caught them off guard.

The Turks have been unable to provoke us for at least the next two years, and are preparing for peace talks with Daxi. "Gu Shangqing said, "Therefore, we must also prepare to go to the capital."

"Going to Beijing?" Everyone in the Gu family was shocked.

Mother Gu asked, "Do we want to go together?"

"Yes." Gu Shangqing said, "This time we go there, we will have to stay in the capital for a long time."

"You don't have to lead troops to fight anymore?" Gu's mother asked in surprise.

Gu Shangqing shook his head and said, "The rule of Daxi is to prevent generals from staying in a fixed army for too long. The soldiers under them only recognize the generals. So they have to change places after a while. According to the rules, it is not time for me to change this time, but since I am going to the capital, I will change together."

"This... is like a dream. We... we can actually go to the capital." Wang Cuizhen was so shocked that her eyes were a little dazed.

"The capital is definitely more prosperous than Chong'an." Zhang Caiping said, "I... I'm actually a little nervous."

"Where will we live when we go to the capital?" Father Gu asked. "Houses in the capital are definitely more expensive."

Although the house in Chong'an was a reward, after living in Chong'an for a long time, they also knew how much the house in Chong'an would cost.

It's so expensive in Chong'an, let alone in Beijing.

"This time, I've rewarded you with a house again." Gu Shangqing said, "It's said to be bigger than the current one. Then, I can buy more servants and a carriage. There will also be room at home."

"Oh my!" Wang Cuizhen said incredulously, "We can have our own carriage now."

"When I was here, I thought it would be more convenient to have a carriage." Gu Shangqing said, "Besides, the capital is bigger than Chong'an, so it would be more convenient to have a carriage when going out."

"When do we set off?" Li Mumu asked.

"Next month.a"

Li Mumu nodded and said that starting from tomorrow, she would have to sort out and explain all the matters in Chong'an.

Now Xiang Guicai has set off for Zhaoxia to serve as the supervisor of Bidada Running Errands in Zhaoxia.

Taking advantage of the expansion of BiDa Running Errands in various places, Li Mumu also arranged for Gujia Snacks to open stores in various places.

The scale of the store should be determined based on local conditions.

Originally, I planned to open another restaurant in Chong'an.

But when I had this idea, I hadn't yet run errands.

At that time, we wanted to cover the middle and upper class customer base, but those wealthy guests might not be willing to dine in small restaurants.
