Gu Jiao did indeed plan to go to the Iron Shop, but she ran into a bit of trouble.
As soon as she arrived in town, she noticed that there were more officials than usual, but she didn't know why, so she asked an owner of the Bun Shop.
The Bun Shop's owner was warm-hearted and didn't ignore her because she didn't buy buns, "Miss, you might not be aware. Rumor has it a Prince from the Capital City has come to our town, those officials are here to protect him!"
It wasn't just obvious officials either, Gu Jiao noticed there were quite a few experts in commoner attire mixed among the seemingly ordinary crowd.
This was quite a fuss.
The road to the Iron Shop was blocked, so Gu Jiao decided to go another day.
She went to the private school to wait for Xiaojingkong and Gu Yan, but didn't expect to bump into Gu Jinyu.
Gu Jinyu was accompanying Miss Zhuang on a shopping trip in town, and they were waiting for Osmanthus Cakes from Liji.
