The cold of the spring night in the countryside was beyond their imagination. They had truly underestimated the degree of difficulty they had to overcome. Exercise could only temporarily alleviate the difficulty. They had been woken up by the cold.

Gu Yun, who was only suitable for summer carrying, was unable to continue heating up. The number of bedding in the small hut was limited, and with a glance, it was obvious that he did not plan to go through the winter. The key thing was that after he woke up, it would become even colder.

Gu Yun had already helped her put on her clothes a long time ago, and the two of them hugged together to keep warm. Now, Gu Yun no longer had any plans to continue doing anything as he ran his fingers through her hair, "Xi, are you hungry?"

"Master Gu, you're still planning to continue waving the spatula? Then go ahead and start. I'll light a fire for you."

"Just stick to the front line of the fire, okay? Go heat up the fire."

The two of them laughed sillily on the bed for a long time, then slowly got up and dressed. In truth, after they woke up, it was not that cold, and as the sun was gradually getting brighter, warmth also rose. Xie Jingxi scooped up some flour and prepared to mix it with the noodles, but just as she rolled up her sleeves, Gu Yun exclaimed, "Xi, you still know how to cook noodles, do I have to get to know you again?"

Xie Jingxi used her finger that was covered in flour to point a few white spots on his face, "I know even more, don't look down on me. Other than studying and selling, you know how to compare to me."

Gu Yun was also smeared with flour and drew a few elegant whiskers on her cheeks, "I do not need to learn from this, I know that you have put too much water on top of your head, are you preparing a pancake or a concoction?"

Xie Jingxi scooped another spoonful of noodles and placed it inside, "Isn't that good enough, every time I put it on by feeling, making a noodle soup, although it doesn't look good, it tastes the same."

Gu Yun laughed, "When you put your demands on yourself, you don't feel that it's too low. Every time you do it, you do it to someone, if you say that Shen Huanzhi is this kind of person, I will definitely believe it."

With Shen Huanzhi's family's condition, there was no need to eat what she made, even if it was his grandmother's place, she wouldn't even need to cook. At that time, wouldn't her requests be low, he would just have no requirements at all, and on a days that were as gray as death, eating noodles or drinking paste soup, wouldn't they all taste the same?

From yesterday, it was possible that from the very beginning, Gu Yun had wanted to ask her something. He was so intelligent, had such good eyesight, how could he not see through her, but Xie Jingxi could only pretend that he didn't know, and that it was not a secret, that there was no way he could say it, or perhaps it was unnecessary for her to say it now, since it was something from his previous life. Since it was something, it shouldn't involve his mood in this life, at least it shouldn't affect Gu Yun.

Xie Jingxi performed exceptionally well and finally managed to make a whole pot of soup. Not only did the pieces fail, the pieces were rather successful, and one bowl was basically the kind that could fill up one's stomach with three pieces. Gu Yun looked at him and laughed, "As long as it's cooked, I think it's very successful."

"It can't be. It's not cooked inside. It must be cooked outside. What is the main ingredient of the soup? Just drink it until it's warm."

"I have truly gained knowledge. It's like eating a piece of soup for the first time." Gu Yun drank a mouthful of soup, "Yes, it's indeed quite warm."

Drinking hot tea had the same effect.

Zhao Zhang rushed over early in the morning, and told him that he needed to erect a new courtyard on the side. Zhao Zhang opened his mouth wide, and looked at the white flour on the two of their faces with a troubled look, "I say, Master, you and Madam are really planning to stay here for a long time, what are you looking for? If you and Madam want to stay in the Huainan for a while, then you can't find any houses in the city.

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Are you trying to tell me why I can't stand it?

Zhao Zhang wanted to retort, but seeing the killing intent in Gu Yun's eyes, he could only hold it in. He swallowed his saliva and said: "Alright, then I'll look for someone to build it up."

Gu Yun laughed, "It's fine to be a bit more sturdy, but you have to match your style to your surroundings, don't stand out like a crane among a flock of chickens. When the time comes, no one will not know to move in a landlord, and it won't be too big either, it's more or less the same size as this courtyard."

If he didn't say it, Zhao Zhang would have gone along with the rules set up by the Marquis Mansion. After all, this place was big enough.

Time was of the essence, and Zhao Zhang immediately called for people to help him build a small courtyard. When the commotion broke out, the neighbors who they just met yesterday would immediately hear them, demonstrating their enthusiasm, Zou Ling was still fresh with energy, the moment she entered the door, it was as though a spring breeze was blowing, "Mrs. Gu, are you planning to rebuild the house? Yesterday, I was thinking that your yard would definitely be cold at night. I don't know if I can live here, how about we move to my place first? "My place is big, so there are a lot of empty rooms …"

Zou Ling stumbled, "... "It doesn't seem to be appropriate. Um, did you guys eat it last night? Pah, did you guys eat it this morning? The pie I baked this morning is all meat …"

Xie Jingxi laughed, "Look at how busy you are, you sent so many over yesterday, how can we finish eating, I have to thank you for that, you can think of something for us."

"Of course. Are we neighbors? Do you want us to build a house? I can help too. Take off the roof …" "No, I can also climb high and support things."

It was probably because of Gu Yun that she was so nervous, and he was floating slightly. Xie Jingxi fiercely pinched her hand, and before she could take it back, Gu Yun had gripped her hand again, and kept scratching at it. If she did not do it in front of everyone, Xie Jingxi would have definitely laughed.

"Miss Zou Ling, I won't trouble you with the building the house. With Zhao Zhang here, I have enough people." Just Gu Yun's nonchalant words had successfully shut Zou Ling's mouth, causing him to stand there awkwardly without moving an inch.

Xie Jingxi sighed in her heart, thinking that this old man was really an expert in the field of martial arts, and couldn't care less about the young lady's face. She was just about to say something to ease up a little, when suddenly, a person appeared outside the door, and because the door was not closed, he uncertainly walked in.

It was a man in his thirties. He did not look much like he came from the village, and more like he came from the city. Seeing so many people in the courtyard, he sized them up one by one, as if trying to identify everyone. "But a relative of my aunt's?

Gu Yun's eyes froze for a moment, and almost immediately realised the identity of the man: "Are you Liu Family's elder brother? I am Gu Yun. "

"Gu …" Young Master Gu Lord? " When Liu Tong heard her surname was Gu, he immediately understood. "I told you who would come to my aunt's small courtyard. I'm Liu Tong, the platoon leader of the family."

Liu Tong was the eldest grandson of Gu Yun's grandmother, and had always taken care of this small courtyard. Yesterday, when Gu Yun and the others had lived here, someone in the village had told him that he had rushed over early in the morning, but who would have thought that the one who came was the Gu family's cousin.

Gu Yun said: "It's because Gu Yun was inconsiderate, that I didn't inform you, and even allowed you to come over."

Liu Tong didn't look like a person who had never seen the world, but seeing the people from the capital's Marquis Mansion, he was still a little nervous. After all, the Gu family and their Liu Family had a lot of unspeakable old grudges, "It doesn't matter, I have been looking after the courtyard. Even if you all didn't come, I would come and clean it often, but no one has lived in this house for a long time and it's still a little cold.

"We're going to stay for a while."

"Then, if you don't mind, why don't you go live at home? The house even has a room for aunty, it's more than enough."

Xie Jingxi guessed that there would be some estrangement between the Liu Family and the Gu Family, but since Gu Yun had dragged his family over, it was quite rare for Liu Tong to invite them to his house.

Gu Yun said: "If that's the case, then I will trouble you."

Xie Jingxi never thought that Gu Yun would agree so easily. After all, it was easy for them to find a house to temporarily stay in in in the city, maybe Zhao Zhang had already found it all long ago.

"Who said the Master Gu did not care about favors? If he wanted to, he would care about it more than anyone else." Who said the Master Gu did not care about favors, if he was willing to, he would care more than anyone.

Gu Yun had also explained to him later on that they did not plan to live here permanently, that once the houses here were built, they would still move here. And only when they went to Liu Tong's house did they find out that the house that he said was the one that was left for his grandmother, was actually the one that the Lady Ji had lived in before.

Fortunately, Liu Tong took the initiative to explain: "It's like this, my aunt has always lived at home. Back then, my little aunt had also always lived in the Huainan, but later on, my little aunt moved them to the small courtyard in the village, but she still lived at home. She had stored all her things when she was a girl for so many years, that no one had ever touched them before, so you, Eldest Young Master, probably haven't come here yet, and coincidentally, you have the chance to come visit this time as well."

Gu Yun had indeed not come before, let alone look at the house his own mother lived in back then, the Old Man Ji would not even mention about it. After the Lady Ji followed the Marquis, it was as if they had broken off all relations with his family, and in this kind of small place, there was a girl who had made a personal life with a man, that was a taboo person, for the Liu Family to be able to recognize this layer of relationship with Gu Yun, it was already very rare, if it wasn't for him to be able to use a broom to blast people out of his house, how could he still keep the inheritance of the Lady Ji.

They had originally wanted to come over to collect the Old Man Ji's remnants, but they did not find anything in the small courtyard, so the only thing they could do was to let the Liu Family put them away and seal them in his house. Liu Tong did not hide anything and from the looks of it, even if Gu Yun were to pack them up and take them away, he would not have any objections, since the Lady Ji was Gu Yun's mother.

Xie Jingxi had a strong premonition that she would definitely discover something. Speaking of which, in her heart, the Lady Ji had always been a very mysterious woman.
