Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan lingered in the city for a while. When the sky darkened, Mo Beihan brought her back to the Qing River Brigade.
When he had brought her to the Gu house, Gu Qingyao took a portion of what they had bought and waved at him with a smile. "Goodbye!"
Mo Beihan smiled. "I'll speak to my mother when I get home. I'll ask her to choose an auspicious date to discuss our marriage with your family. Wait for me!"
Gu Qingyao blushed.
Mo Beihan did not go in. He went straight home after seeing Gu Qingyao enter her house.
When Gu Qingyao entered the courtyard, she found the house silent and empty.
She had just finished putting away her things in her room when Gu Jinlin returned.
Gu Jinlin smiled when he saw his younger cousin. "Are you back?"
"Mhm!"
Gu Jinlin looked around the room and behind his younger cousin. "Did you buy anything nice? Did you manage to gouge a good sum out of Mo Beihan?"
