It just so happened that a servant went out to buy new year's goods at this time. As soon as he opened the door and came out, he saw his adult standing in a daze on the path outside the door, "My lord?"

Gu Ming came back to his senses, saw that it was a servant in his mansion, and said, "This is my mansion?"

Xiao Si said happily, "Yes, yes, it is the mansion of the lord, and the lord is finally back." Then he shouted into the room, "Butler, butler, it is the lord who is back! The lord is back!"

After a while, a young man with a knife on his waist came out of the house. The person who came was Gu Ming's former subordinate and now the housekeeper, Zhao Er.

Seeing that it was really Gu Ming, Zhao Er couldn't help but frowned, stepped forward and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, you're back?!"

Gu Ming gave the horse to the boy, and said to Zhao Er, "Yes, just after coming out of the palace, the king said that the New Year's Eve is here, so let's talk about it after the festival."

Zhao Er nodded, while telling the servant to tell the cook to prepare some good dishes, just after finishing speaking, he heard Gu Ming ask him, "Has the house been renovated?"

"It was renovated."

"You still understand these?" Gu Ming pointed to the evergreen planted by the door, "I didn't see it."

Zhao Er rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "How can I, a rough man, understand these things, it's all done by Princess Qinghe."

Gu Ming paused as he walked in, "Princess Qinghe?"

"Yes, a few days after you left, Princess Qinghe came to the door with a gift, saying thank you for saving your life, but you were not here, so I told her, the princess is easy to talk, but just before leaving the house Seeing that our small courtyard is a bit dilapidated, I said that it needs to be repaired for the New Year's Eve, I thought about it, and I didn't have many acquaintances in Beijing, so I agreed."

Gu Ming frowned and said, "Hu Lai, how can the majestic princess come to renovate the courtyard for the courtiers?!"

Zhao Er hastily explained, "I didn't ask the county master to do it, and I wouldn't dare to lend me ten guts. I found the craftsmen, and the princess was in the courtyard to direct them. Well, the corner of the two potted trees at the door is The princess sent someone to move here, um...cultural people have a good eye, look at how well we have made this small courtyard."

Gu Ming felt his head hurt a bit, "What nonsense are you talking about, hurry up, get your things ready, and follow me to the Princess's Mansion to say thank you."

While talking, the servant at the door led the two of them in, "My lord, the princess is here."

Gu Ming was startled, turned around abruptly, saw that it was really the princess, and immediately knelt down to salute, "The guilty minister has seen the princess."

Murong Xi smiled faintly after hearing this, "What is the general's fault?"

Gu Ming lowered his brows, not daring to raise his head, "The guilty minister was not very good in the palace that day... If you treat His Royal Highness lightly, lightly, you deserve death!"

Zhao Er, who was kneeling beside him: "..."

His lord, molested the princess? !

"Since the general saved me, why do you blame the general for saying that?" Murong Xi stepped forward to help Gu Ming up, and said, "I haven't thanked the general for saving my life yet."

Gu Ming didn't dare to raise his head to look at Murong Xi, after hearing this, he hastily stepped back two steps, distanced himself from Murong Xi, and bowed to each other, "Your Majesty is serious."

Murong Xi looked a little disappointed when he saw this, but he still had a good temper and said, "It's not in the palace, there are no outsiders around, does the general have to be so famous?"

Just as Gu Ming was about to speak, Zhao Er secretly stabbed him.

Gu Ming: "..."

Murong Xi said to the maid behind him, "Go to the door and bring the things in."

The servant girl responded, and went out of the door together with the boy guarding the door. After a while, the boy brought a big box in. Gu Ming hesitated, "This is..."

Murong Xi bent down to open the box, and said, "This is dried bacon that I made at home, and some pickled vegetables, Zhao Er, you can find two jars, if you can seal them."

Zhao Er responded and wanted to look for it, but Murong Xi suddenly said, "Forget it, Mo Duo will make a trip, move this to the kitchen."

Hearing this, the servant cleverly picked up the wooden box and walked towards the kitchen. Murong Xi also followed. Seeing this, Gu Ming had no choice but to bite the bullet and go.

When they got to the kitchen, Murong Xi asked someone to find two vats, and after washing his hands, he put the dried bacon in the box into the vats. Seeing this, Gu Ming immediately went forward and said, "Your Highness... this, this, this... He was so anxious that he couldn't speak, he rolled his sleeves and said, "I, I, I will come, no, I dare not trouble you..."

Before he finished speaking, Murong Xi gave him a light stare, "You know this?"

Gu Ming was embarrassed, "No..."

"Then what can you do?" Murong Xi continued with the work in hand, and said to Gu Ming, "You are all from the army, and you don't know anything about what to prepare for the New Year, so my house is close to here, so you can make arrangements. I brought them for you during the New Year's Eve...just hang up these bacon and eat them for a few days."

Gu Ming reached out to take it, and relying on his height, he raised his hand and hung it on the pillar, and heard Murong Xi say to the cook, "What are you cooking?"

The cook reported the name of the dish, and Murong Xi said, "Let's cook some pork belly for the pickled vegetables."

The cook came over and took it, Gu Ming's eyes were about to pop out, but the cook just didn't see it.

Murong Xi washed his hands and came over to see Gu Ming still standing there stupidly, and said, "What's wrong?"

Gu Ming saluted and said, "If you go back to the princess, I... I am a little scared."

"If you hadn't saved me that day, how could there still be a princess like me in this capital?" Murong Xi said this with a bit of desolation, Gu Ming also felt a little uncomfortable after hearing it.
