Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Really Can’t Deal with Her Chapter 810: Chapter 810: Really Can’t Deal with Her “Husband, isn’t the current emperor surnamed Qi? Could Qi Residence be part of the royal family?” In ancient times, Su Yunjin knew that unless you were a royal relative or noble, commoners wouldn’t dare to use the imperial surname. Qi Residence used the same surname as the current emperor, implying it could only be part of the imperial family.
And belong to the same royal lineage as the emperor.
Indeed, Qi Residence was part of the royal family. Gu Ya had heard but little about it, only that they had moved there a few years ago. The Qi Residence’s mansion was constructed by the order of the current County Magistrate, which took more than half a year to complete, and rumor had it that an old queen consort lived there.
The old queen consort enjoyed her peace.
Having stayed in the town for a while, she had grown fond of the place and specifically came here to spend her twilight years. Beyond that, Gu Ya knew nothing more.
With his wife looking on curiously, Gu Ya shared what he knew, “Yunjin, Qi Residence is indeed related to the royal family. An old queen consort lives there.”
Really a member of the royal family?
Su Yunjin had mentioned it in passing and had not expected to hit the mark. She never imagined that such a distinguished figure as a queen consort would reside in their modest locality.
She gawked at Gu Ya, incredulous.
This revelation also explained why the customer didn’t bat an eye when ordering so much wine from their shop; an old queen consort was clearly not lacking in funds.
Not to mention fifty jars of fruit wine.
She could probably buy out his modest wine shop without a second thought.
“Yunjin, whether Qi Residence is related to the royal family or not isn’t really our concern. We’re just responsible for delivering the fruit wine. After delivering it tomorrow, we’ll leave.” That was what he said, but Su Yunjin had never seen the Wang Residence! Tomorrow, when they delivered the fruit wine, she would get to see what it looked like.
Su Yunjin felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
She was curious to see if the local Wang Residence was as opulent and majestic as the ones she had seen in modern TV dramas, or perhaps even more luxurious.
Su Yunjin’s eyes sparkled with excitement as Gu Ya reminded his wife, “Yunjin, since Qi Residence is equivalent to a Wang Residence, when we go to deliver the fruit wine tomorrow, although nothing usually happens, we still need to be careful and attentive.”
In such places, a simple mistake could offend the royal relatives and possibly result in a grave offense punishable by death. His wife was clever, but she could also inadvertently cause trouble, and Gu Ya feared she might offend someone at the Wang Residence if she accompanied him. After much thought, he decided he would go to the Wang Residence by himself.
And his wife would stay at the shop.
“Yunjin, let’s do this. I’ll deliver the fruit wine to Qi Residence tomorrow, and you stay to run the shop. I’ll be back from Qi Residence quickly,” Gu Ya suggested, wanting Su Yunjin to remain and tend to the shop.
Of course, Su Yunjin would not agree. Faced with such a rare opportunity to see an ancient Wang Residence, how could she miss out?
“Husband, I want to go with you. I have never seen what a Wang Residence looks like! Tomorrow, I will join you in delivering the fruit wine to Qi Residence; it will be the perfect chance to see the Wang Residence.”
Su Yunjin was brimming with anticipation, but Gu Ya had little interest in Qi Residence, “Yunjin, a Wang Residence is just a place where people live, nothing but pavilions, towers, ponds, gardens. What else can it look like?”
“I don’t care, I want to see it.” Unable to dissuade his wife, Gu Ya eventually nodded in agreement, “Yunjin, you can go, but once there, you have to stick with me and not wander off.”
Clutching Gu Ya’s arm, Su Yunjin smiled, “Husband, don’t worry! I’m not a child, I’ll be prudent.” The successful wife was full of anticipation.
Gu Ya looked at his wife somewhat helplessly.
He pinched the tip of his wife’s nose.
“You, I just don’t know what to do with you.”
