"Mr. Marquis, the hot water is ready." A maid from the house came to report, "Mrs. said that she would ask the Marquis to wash after she returned home."

The family is very quiet. The master is not here, and Wu Mei is not here, probably walking around with her child. Little Shizi is reading an unknown book. Yixinglanshan came to the bathroom to take off her clothes and soak her body in hot water. She hasn't enjoyed it like this for a long time. The few months I left home seem to have passed a few years.

The footsteps came from behind him. Gu Qing could feel who was behind him without turning around. He smelled the familiar smell. Gu Qing pulled her into the water.

"Husband, stop making trouble in broad daylight." Wu Mei struggled in the pool.

The maid who had been serving outside the bathroom closed the door very sensible and blushed when she listened to the movement inside.

After some pain, Wu Mei carefully washed Gu Qing's long hair and helped him wipe his body. "My husband's hair is longer, it's time to cut it."

The couple walked out of the bathtub. Wu Mei put on a robe and carefully helped Gu Qing trim her hair. There was no extra word between the couple. Gu Qing's hair was very messy and many knots were tied. "You're very tired in Goguryeo."

Listening to Wu Mei's words, Gu Qing nodded, "I'm tired, it's strong wind and rainy, my nerves are always tense, and I'm tired of war."

Wu Mei trimmed her very carefully. After so many years, the two of them grew up unknowingly. Looking back on the past, they were poor and when it was cold and cold, they hurried in the quilt to keep warm. Life was not easy at that time. After trimming her hair, Wu Mei took out a knife and carefully shaved Gu Qing's beard. Gu Qing's beard didn't have much, and some of them always grew out, and more of them were stubborn.

There was mist rising in the bathroom. Wu Mei wiped Gu Qing's face, and after everything was neat, the maid also brought clean clothes.

After putting on his clothes again, the two of them walked out the door and saw Sun Simiao holding the child and smiling.

"I have been to see Princess Gaoyang." Wu Mei whispered, "Actually, after seeing her, I found that Princess Gaoyang has also changed a lot."

"I understand." Gu Qing nodded and sat down.

Wu Mei made a cup of tea and put it in front of him, "The family matters are very stable. It's just that Fan Jian has something happened, and now it's settled. Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian have been worrying a lot."

"I'm relieved to do the two children." Gu Qing said, and Wu Mei asked the servants at home to bring the meals.

Sun Simiao was tired of holding the child, so he handed the child to Wu Mei's arms and said to Gu Qing, "Boy, you are not injured, are you?"

"How can it be?" Gu Qing ate the food voraciously, "I'm at the end of the army, so I don't have to go to the battlefield myself."

Sun Simiao thought about it, and then went out leisurely to pack his herbs.

Wu Mei held the child and watched Gu Qing swallow her voraciously, "Eat slowly."

Gu Qing tried hard to swallow a bite of the meal, "Girl, you don't know what I've eaten these days."

With a wry smile, Wu Mei knew that Gu Qing had a good taste. Some fresh dishes were made by Gu Qing, and the taste was very good. She said, "Do you still remember the business journey?"

"Remember, were the businessmen from all over the country who were doing business honestly?" Gu Qing said and took a sip of soup.

"It's quite stable." Wu Mei said, "I thought the trade route was not so fast. Now the trade route has been opened outside of Tianzhu. In fact, there are many small vendors who have no way to buy things from Chang'an and sell them to the Western Regions or other places. Because they are from the Tang Dynasty, all countries respect our Tang Dynasty merchants. Recently, a new thing has flowed into the market, saying it is a seasoning and the price is very high. Many people in the Western Regions use that thing to trade."

"What?"

Wu Mei took out a few peppers and a small pepper plant, "It's this thing. Because it's very expensive to plant in Guanzhong, it's very high. I spent a lot of money to buy one and want to try planting it myself."

"This is pepper." Gu Qing picked up a pepper and observed it. This thing actually flowed into Guanzhong very early and has always been a very expensive seasoning.

"Now the people's lives are getting better." Wu Mei said carefully, "especially some of the merchants who do business with us Gu Qing, they have saved a lot."

"This thing is not difficult to grow at all." Gu Qing looked at peppers. In fact, the breeding of peppers is very good. Thinking that Westerners use this pepper to exchange for many high-priced commodities, they thought it was not good. "This thing can really be grown, but the climate and soil in Guanzhong are not good, so they can be grown in the south."

"Why are you talking about Lingnan?" Wu Mei was puzzled.

"Actually, it's not the case." Gu Qing explained, "If you want to say that Lingnan generation is rainy, you can indeed plant it but the yield will not be high. You can plant it in Nanzhao. The Nanzhao generation is very suitable, and the temperature must be good if it has enough light."

Wu Mei also understood.

Gu Qing put down the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Nanzhao has always had a good relationship with Guanzhong. The envoys of Nanzhao also have some friendship with me. I can write a letter to let them plant pepper for us. This is also a way of wealth."

"I understand." Wu Mei nodded.

After dinner, Gu Qing picked up his child and the little guy's eyebrows and eyes were now open, and his eyes dripping at Gu Qing.

"Call Daddy." Gu Qing said to his child.

"Da da!" the little guy said.

"It's Dad!" Gu Qing corrected.

"Da da!" The little guy still had the same voice.

"You are my father after calling you so many times." Gu Qing put the child in the cradle. Wu Mei coaxed the child to sleep. The couple went out to visit the Fang family together. The carriage was set up by the housekeeper Fan Jian. Gu Qing held Wu Mei on the carriage, and sat on the carriage himself, waving the carriage lazily.

Fan Jian looked at the couple's carriage and left and muttered, "The Marquis is already so rich, so why don't he hire a few more coachmen?"

After thinking about it carefully, Fan Jian sighed, "The Marquis is just a person who wants money."

After arriving at Chang'an City, Wu Mei shyly wanted to take off the round-edged hat from her head, "Husband, this hat is so eye-catching."

"It's pretty good." Gu Qing looked at Wu Mei, "How elegant."

Wu Mei had to let her husband join hands and walk into Chang'an City. As soon as they entered Chang'an City, they attracted a lot of attention. Wu Mei's face was originally good, and her hat looked a bit like a hat, but it didn't look like a hat, and she showed her temperament.

Gu Qing held Wu Mei's hand and came to Fang Mansion with some small gifts.
