Chapter 281 Home is Where the Heart Is
Chapter 281 Home is Where the Heart Is
Gao Yun was wearing a light, light blue cotton robe and carrying a large dark blue cloth bag on his back. He looked so different from before that he was almost unrecognizable.
He was talking to Uncle Qiu as he walked, and it seemed that he was heading towards the small courtyard high in the east.
When he looked up, he unexpectedly met Zhou Chang. He was stunned at first, then walked up to him quickly.
He threw the bag on his back to the ground and knelt down to pay his respects: "Gao Yun pays respect to His Majesty, I am back."
Gao Yun seemed to have grown taller. His face, similar to Gao Yuan but ten years younger, was covered with stubble, giving him a sense of incongruity between being immature and experienced.
"Get up quickly..." Gao Yunlian even changed his way of addressing himself. Zhou Chang didn't know whether to be relieved or sigh, "I thought you were like Mr. Ma and couldn't make it back for the New Year."
"That's great. I'll go inform Brother Gao." Skinny Monkey said as he was about to head east.
Uncle Qiu swung the wine jug in his hand, and smiled behind Gao Yun: "No need, I've asked Duofu and Duobao to look for him. Gao Yuan is not in the yard. I wonder if he went to the empty field in the backyard to be with the palace soldiers."
The skinny monkey chuckled and patted Gao Yun on the shoulder: "You have grown taller. It's good that you are back. Otherwise, Brother Gao would miss you even if he didn't say it."
Gao Yun was also filled with joy at finally returning home: "Your Majesty, Mr. Ma was worried, so he asked a escort company to bring my subordinate back."
"Mr. Ma is thoughtful." Zhou Chang nodded, and felt more and more that he should meet with ** Hong if he had the chance.
Mr. Zhong was not wrong in his recommendation. Prince Yi must have gotten a very capable person.
"Good luck..."
There was another exclamation from behind the crowd.
Gao Yuan came quickly from the backyard, his usually expressionless face still looked wooden, but his voice revealed his emotions after all.
"Brother..." Gao Yun pounced on him.
His personality has always been the opposite of Gao Yuan's, like a "monkey" jumping on Gao Yuan's neck.
Gao Yuan hugged Gao Yun tightly with one arm, lifting him off the ground, and uttered only three words: "Hmm..., it's heavy."
Gao Yun hugged Gao Yuan tightly and said, "Brother, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"
Gao Yuan didn't answer, but just let Gao Yun hold him and he didn't let go.
"Brother, I brought you a lot of good things." Gao Yun took a long time to get off Gao Yuan, and he was already crying with joy.
Gao Yuan still had a blank look on his face, and only after he blinked rapidly a few times did it become clear that he was almost crying.
As soon as Gao Yun landed, Gao Yuan looked him up and down carefully: "You've grown taller and darker."
Zhou Chang watched the two brothers meeting each other from the side and felt extremely envious.
Although she had a younger brother in her previous life, they did not grow up together and rarely met after they became adults, so they were never close.
In this life, although royal brothers are still brothers, even the friendly Prince Rong and the close Twelfth Prince always feel that there is a layer of separation due to rules and etiquette.
Gao Yun pulled Gao Yuan aside and chattered non-stop, showing off his treasures to Gao Yuan: "Brother, I learned Kung Fu from a master at a local martial arts school in the south. He is someone Brother Han knows. Let's compete tomorrow."
"Hmm." Gao Yuan listened without saying anything. At most, he responded with a "hmm".
"Mr. Ma taught me a lot and asked me to continue my studies, and I did not fall behind in my studies."
"Ah."
"It's not snowing in the south, and it's not cold now."
"Ah."
"Brother, I can recognize some medicinal herbs now."
"Um"
……
"Your Highness..." Gao Yuan listened for a long time before he realized that Zhou Chang was still standing next to him. He felt a little embarrassed. "Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me?"
"It's okay. Gao Yun just came back. You brothers must have a lot to talk about. Let's go back and talk." Zhou Chang didn't plan to take Gao Yuan out.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gao Yun thanked Zhou Chang before Gao Yuan could say anything, picked up the bag on the ground, and walked away with Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan bowed slightly to Zhou Chang and left as he was told.
Zhou Chang looked at Uncle Qiu again: "Uncle Qiu, do you want to go shopping with us?"
"Ah..." Uncle Qiu was so surprised by this proposal that he didn't know what to do.
Skinny Monkey was at the side and advised: "Go ahead, Uncle Qiu. There is no curfew before the New Year. When it gets dark, there are many lights and people on the street. It's better to follow the prince to watch the fun than to drink alone."
Uncle Qiu waved his hands repeatedly: "My legs and feet are not good, and it's getting dark. How can I go out with the prince? I will be a hindrance."
"Let Uncle Qiu go too, and ask Aunt Jing to come along. I wonder what Mr. Zhong is busy with." Zhou Chang thought of Aunt Jing again.
If you invite everyone along, it will feel like a family shopping together.
Uncle Qiu still shook his head: "Jing Xin is very busy. The New Year is just two days away, and there are many things to do in the mansion. She will definitely not want to go. As for Mr. Zhong, Manager Fu has not returned yet, so they should still be together."
"Oh..." Zhou Chang felt a little apologetic.
She became a hands-off boss, looking forward to the New Year, but she didn't expect that Aunt Jing and Zhong Yu were the busiest people.
Besides, Uncle Qiu has difficulty walking. If he insists on going, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Chang smiled and shook off the thought, not wanting to ruin his rare good mood: "That's fine, I'll buy Uncle Qiu two jars of good wine later. But Uncle Qiu drinks, so don't drink too much at once, it's not good for your health."
"Hey, hey, thank you, Your Highness." Uncle Qiu was the happiest when talking about wine. He shook the wine pot in his hand and said, "This old servant only drinks this small pot a day."
Then a “small pot” must contain one kilogram. Is one kilogram of liquor a day too much or too little?
Zhou Chang shook his head helplessly, said no more, and took the skinny monkey out the door.
The two of them didn't drive, so they naturally couldn't walk far, so they just walked around two nearby streets.
Zhou Chang had been here for such a long time, but he had never taken a close look at what the area around Prince Yi's Mansion looked like.
Now that Lin State and Shen State have won the war, the "ban on entertainment" has been lifted.
The shops around the palace have long since reopened, and are now decorated with lights in preparation for the New Year.
Zhou Chang asked the skinny uncle Qiu about his preferences, bought two jars of wine, and bought rouge and powder for Aunt Jing. Mr. Zhong naturally bought a brush and inkstone. The brothers Gao Yuan and Gao Yun couldn't think of what to buy for a while, so they bought a lot of delicious food according to the skinny uncle's preferences.
During this period, Zhou Chang had almost no orders for the viewpoint system in his mind. It was probably because the novelty had worn off and the number of customers placing orders from the plane decreased.
Zhou Chang was infected by the New Year atmosphere and didn't want to worry about "live streaming with goods" for the time being.
I could hear people on the street talking about how wise and brave the King was in winning the battle, how good-looking the new champion was, and so on...
Zhou Chang felt a little more like the everyday world.
This was the world she would live in for the rest of her life.
It's nice here.
Home is where your heart is.
