Then, Gu Shangqing told him everything that happened during his time in the Turkic Empire.
"The saint is very smart. From the moment I entered the Turkic Empire, Bagatur already knew my whereabouts." Gu Shangqing said, "They immediately sent people to chase me, but I managed to escape several times."
"In order to make them believe that Su Zhier is very important to Daxi, I wandered around their royal court several times, pretending to secretly take Su Zhier away, so as to make them more alert and believe more in Su Zhier's so-called predictive ability." Gu Shangqing said.
Just by listening, Li Mumu could imagine what kind of danger Gu Shangqing had experienced.
The probability of being caught if you wander around the Turkic royal court is too high.
"Sure enough, later when I was hiding in the Turks, I heard rumors from the people that a prophet saint was born in the royal court. May God bless the Turks." Gu Shangqing said.
Gu Shangqing took out another blueprint from his arms and handed it to Pan Lunchi, who presented it to the saint.
"I was hiding in the Turks, but I was not idle either." Gu Shangqing said, "This is a map of the places I passed by during my hiding in the Turks."
Hearing that Gu Shangqing had actually drawn a partial map of the Turks, the saint immediately became serious and hurriedly opened the map to look at it, "Good! Good! Good!"
"Gu Qing has really made a great contribution this time!" The saint said excitedly, "Not only did he confuse the Turks, he also drew a map of the Turks!"
"It's just that I haven't been able to draw the entire map of Turkic," Gu Shangqing said regretfully, "otherwise it would be even more powerful for Daxi."
"Gu Qing's ability to draw such a map is of great help to Da Xi." The saint said excitedly, "Da Xi doesn't know enough about the Turks, especially about the map of the Turks."
"And this map will make up for many of its deficiencies," said the sage.
"Madam Gu rushed to the border to save General Gu. She is truly loyal and righteous." The saint said, "General Gu has made such a great contribution. You two deserve a reward!"
So, when Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu returned home, about an hour later, Pan Lunchi arrived with the imperial edict.
Gu Shangqing was promoted to the fourth-rank General Mingwei, and Li Mumu also became a fourth-rank imperial lady.
At the same time, Li Mumu was conferred the title of Lady of Jianing County.
As soon as this news came out, people who were close to Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu would definitely come to celebrate.
Only in the capital, such a grand celebration is really too high-profile. For a family like the Gu family who have just arrived in the capital and whose foundation is not yet stable, it is not a good choice. Therefore, the Gu family did not invite many friends.
Gu Shangqing did not even accept the invitation to the restaurant to celebrate.
Instead, he kept a low profile and only invited General Shang, Chu Yao Ming and Huang Kexiao to his home.
Zhu Yaoming and Huang Kexiao would always come to Gu's house for dinner with Gu Shangqing on weekdays.
The Gu family even reserved a special room for the two of them to rest.
Although General Shang didn't come often, he had always had a close relationship with Gu Shangqing.
Even if Gu Shangqing had not been rewarded, it would not be out of place for the three of them to come to the Gu family.
Li Mumu, on the other hand, went to Wangyou to take a rest.
Li Zhiyin, Mrs. Shang, Zhang Qihui and Guo Liyan were invited together, and only the five of them gathered together to take a rest in Wangyou.
Similarly, these five people often meet each other on weekdays.
This time, people didn't realize that the meeting was to celebrate Li Mumu's reward.
"Everyone else congratulates you, but I think this is what you deserve." Zhang Qihui said to Li Mumu simply and directly.
Others thought that the saint was just rewarding Li Mumu for traveling thousands of miles to save her husband and for her loyalty and righteousness.
But others don't know that their fathers all hold important positions in the military and know some of the reasons.
This was just a superficial reason the saint gave to reward Li Mumu. Of course, this was also one of the reasons why Li Mumu was awarded the title.
But the more important reason was that Li Mumu captured Ashina Li alive and obtained a lot of important information from him, which was a great contribution to the court.
But this matter cannot be made public, otherwise it will inevitably involve Gu Shangqing's trip to the Turks.
Therefore, the sage only praised Li Mumu for her loyalty and righteousness, and conferred her the title of county lady.
Unexpectedly, because of this, many women think that Li Mumu is just lucky.
"Don't worry about those people's gossip." Madam Shang smiled, "When has Mu Mu ever cared about that?"
"That's true." Guo Liyan said.
Those wives of officials love money, of course, but they also love face.
He leaves all the business in his hands to others to manage. He never shows up and only collects money.
No one outside knows who the owner of this shop is.
Because of businessmen
The lowest status.
But Li Mumu, even after becoming a noble lady and the Lady of Jia'an, still continued to do business without any hesitation.
Now that she has become a county lady, she remains the same.
There were people outside mocking her, and Li Mumu knew about it.
But she never cared.
"No matter what, we still have to congratulate Mu Mu." Li Zhiyin raised his glass.
The fruit wine tastes sweet and sour, and they all have a good alcohol tolerance, so they don't get drunk easily.
After drinking the wine in the glass, Guo Liyan said, "It's not just Madam Gu, Sister Li is also about to have good news."
"What do you mean?" Li Mumu asked in surprise, "What happened when I was away?"
Li Zhiyin sighed sadly, looked at Guo Liyan helplessly, and then said, "It was the Saint who issued an order to grant me and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a marriage."
Li Mumu's first reaction was, "What was Miss Wen's reaction?"
Zhang Qihui laughed out loud, "What do you think? I told you Madam Gu would definitely be curious about this!"
Li Mumu laughed and said, "You even guessed this."
"I'm just bored." Zhang Qihui laughed.
Guo Liyan lowered her voice and said, "That Miss Wen is really a twisted person. After she knew about the arranged marriage, I don't know what she was thinking. She actually came to Wangyou every day to rest."
"Before the marriage was arranged, she knew Sister Li was her competitor, so she never came. After the marriage was arranged, she came every few days," said Guo Liyan.
Guo Liyan nodded. "I am also confused. Could it be that she expects to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"
Li Zhiyin said helplessly: "Did you forget that Wangyou Xiaoxi only entertains women? She naturally knows that too. How could she expect to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"
"I really don't understand why she comes here so often." Li Zhiyin said, "But it doesn't matter. As long as she doesn't cause trouble to our store and is willing to come, I'm still very welcome. After all, she is a customer who can bring profits to our store."
"If Miss Wen heard what you said, she would probably be so angry that she would die again." Guo Liyan followed up.
Mrs. Shang also shook her head and smiled, saying that Miss Wen was indeed a narrow-minded person.
Other people's unintentional words, even if they didn't mean it, could cause her to misunderstand and overthink.
