After binding the loving mother system, I was so bad

Su Yunting and his wife are newlyweds and are in love with each other.

Gu Nanxi took a sip of her mother-in-law's tea and was very considerate not to disturb their world of two.

This year's Spring Festival holiday is not as long as last year, and there is a lot of government affairs to deal with.

Less than three days after the wedding, Cui Sanlun said goodbye to Gu Nanxi: "Spring plowing is coming. In addition to planting wheat, there are also divine seeds that need my attention. This year, I want to build railroads throughout Shuozhou. As for cement, the cost is too expensive. Tax revenue cannot support it. The official road will still use earth cement."

Cement is indeed better to use than earth cement, and is more solid and smooth.

But many wealthy families believe that cement is not down-to-earth, and they prefer to pave the floor with bluestone bricks.

Gu Nanxi sent Cui Sanlun out of the city.

The morning sun was just rising, the cold had not yet dissipated, the distant mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist, and a long queue had formed at the city gate to enter the city.

The newspaper boy called out in a crisp voice: "Erlang is getting married. Sir, would you like a copy of Yunzhou Weekly?"

There was an old lady selling pancakes who was reluctant to pay the stall fee, so she set up her stall a few dozen meters away from the city gate.

The aroma of delicious food filled the air. Workers who had just finished their night shift went to the stall in twos and threes to buy a few steamed buns. They then went to the stall next door to buy a cup of ginger drink and sighed with comfort.

Looking at this scene, Cui Sanlun only regretted that he was born a few decades earlier. If God was willing to give him another ten years, would the entire north be like Yunzhou?

"Foster father, you must drink the prescription that Bian Que'an gave you! Follow the Ziwu Zhuliu for your daily routine. Government affairs are endless, so please let go and leave it to young people like Niu Jinyi."

Gu Nanxi and Cui Sanlun hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they met again it was only a few days.

Gu Nanxi just felt that she had endless words to say and endless instructions to give.

Cui Sanlun was old after all, and even though he had a special doctor to take care of his health, he looked much older due to the heavy workload.

Gu Nanxi felt guilty when she saw Cui Sanlun’s silver hair.

The process of recognition for this adoptive father was full of coincidences, but he was devoted to himself and his three children. Even their biological father did not do as much as he did.

"I promised to take care of you in your old age, but in the end you are exhausted and have to work hard outside at such an old age."

Cui Sanlun swung his sleeves impatiently, signaling the driver to hurry up: "Who are you looking down on? I can eat a pound of meat in one meal, can you? Stop dawdling and go back quickly. I don't need you to care about me."

Having said that, when the carriage went a long way away, Cui Sanlun still lifted the curtain and looked back at the city gate.

Gu Nanxi's figure had been standing there, blending into the Fuming Town behind him.

Cui Sanlun lowered the curtain and whispered to himself: "You regard the country as your home, and I regard you as my home. One day, we will be reunited as a family."

On the second day after seeing off Cui Sanlun, Gu Nanxi saw off Ma Nantian’s caravan.

Ma Nantian and Su Yunyan will go to Xixia together.

"Your safety is the most important thing. In the face of life, all gold, silver and treasures can be abandoned."

Gu Nanxi stuffed a token into Su Yunyan's arms.

This little girl was taller than Gu Nanxi. She was wearing a Hu costume. Her thick black hair was tied into a bun and tucked into a three-mountain crown, making her jade-white face look even smaller.

If you count carefully, Su Yunyan is not yet eighteen years old.

She has traveled all over the country, participated in city defense battles, and now has to go to neighboring countries to carry out dangerous missions.

Gu Nanxi couldn't help but touch Su Yunyan's face: "Keep the token safe, it can mobilize the Huanzhou garrison. When a general is away from home, he may not obey the orders of the king. When you go to Xixia, your identity is not only a businessman, but also my daughter, Gu Nanxi, the future eldest princess!"

Gu Nanxi patted Su Yunyan on the shoulder and said, "If you think it is necessary, don't consider whether it will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, just mobilize the troops! The general of the western route is Alechuan."

Alechuan, Li Lao Da, and Fu Mingyuan jointly guarded the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the grassland, and Yunzhou.

Alechuan was in charge of the center line and should have been transferred to the east line after the New Year, but Gu Nanxi, out of selfishness, transferred Alechuan to the west line and Boss Li to the east line.

The token was pressed against his chest, so hot that it made his heart tremble.

Su Yunyan moved her lips, wanting to say something lofty, wanting to say that she would be able to complete the task successfully.

But she didn't say it in the end. Instead, she put her arms around Gu Nanxi's waist, put her head on Gu Nanxi's shoulder, and spoke coquettishly, just like when they were children.

"Mother, am I your best child?"

Su Yunting, who came to see them off, puffed up his cheeks when he heard this. Just as he was about to speak, Shuyao pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

Gu Nanxi held Su Yunyan's face and waved heavily at her smooth forehead: "Yes, you are my best child!"

Such an outgoing and passionate response made Su Yunyan stand there and giggle like a drunk.

Gu Nanxi turned to Ma Nantian and said, "Master Ma, take care on your journey."

Ma Nantian had long been accustomed to separation; his little grandson was with his daughter-in-law, and he had nothing to worry about.

"Don't worry, sir. This time we have chosen silk and tea. Xixia controls the Hexi Corridor, which is used to transfer silk, tea, and jade from the Western Regions to the Central Plains. Commercial taxes are an important source of revenue for them. Going to Xixia as a merchant will not attract attention."

After saying that, Ma Nantian laughed heartily: "Beef and mutton still need to be added with more spices to taste good. When I go to Xixia, I will contact the big spice dealers and try my best to mix the thirteen spices you mentioned and bring them back to you."

Gu Nanxi: "Okay! Then we'll name it Ma's Thirteen Spices."

Sending you thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye in the end.

The caravan meandered like a river, and eventually disappeared from sight.

Gu Nanxi turned around and looked at Su Yunting: "Are you guys leaving too?"

Su Yunting pouted: "Mother, please drive me away."

Gu Nanxi was in no mood to watch him act funny. She felt as twisted as a knot as she saw people close to her leaving one after another.

"If you want to go, leave quickly, or you'll be late. After you go out to sea, take good care of your wife. You don't have to go back to Yunzhou every year, just focus on managing our future. That foreign land you mentioned..."

Gu Nanxi had a toothache. If nothing unexpected happened, that place should be the Indian Peninsula.

This place has a superior geographical location, but the indigenous people are a little hard to describe.

Su Yunting is worthy of being Gu Nanxi's son, the two of them think alike.

Su Yunting: "The two largest kingdoms there are the Chola Dynasty and the Later Chalukya Dynasty. One monopolizes the Indian route, and the other is close to the Arab trade route and is richer. The two kingdoms are hostile to each other and both sent people to Da Zhou, but were sniped by the islands and failed to go."

"Island?"

"hey-hey."

Gu Nanxi...

Okay, as long as the kid knows what's going on, since the overseas matters have been handed over to him, let him do it.

He is Yunzhou's retreat, and Yunzhou is also his retreat.

Leaving on the same day as Su Yunting were Chen Yixuan and his son. They were going to take the caravan to the Korean Peninsula.

There were frequent exchanges between Goryeo and the Great Zhou court, and the Great Zhou even planned to set up a Goryeo office in Quanzhou.

The Chen father and son were not unfamiliar with Gao Li. They waved at Gu Nanxi and ran away happily.

As soon as they left, Gu Nanxi suddenly felt that Yunzhou became much more empty.

After thinking about it, Gu Nanxi decided to go to Fang Yinnian, but there was still one thing he hadn't decided on.
