Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 349 The Concubine of the Age 56

Gu Nuanyi returned to the manor and began to prepare for her return to China.

Gu Nuanyi closed the flower shop and handed it over to the old housekeeper's son Morton.

The old butler was old, so Gu Nuanyi let him live in the manor and let his son take care of the affairs of the manor.

Of course, the old housekeeper's son, Gu Nuanyi, also posted a loyalty talisman.

"Morton, go ask if there are any passenger ships for sale, and if there are, buy them."

"Yes!" Morton was brought up by the old butler and has perfectly inherited the old butler's ability to handle affairs.

Soon I found out about several passenger ships for sale and made an appointment to go and see them.

When Earl Edgar heard that Gu Nuanyi was going to buy a passenger ship, he came to the manor on crutches and said, "Gu girl, are you going back to China..."

Gu Nuanyi nodded, looking into the distance with nostalgia: "Yes! Fallen leaves return to their roots."

"Alas, there is one less person who can drink tea with an old man like me..."

Gu Nuanyi invited, "Lord Earl, would you like to go to China with me? Earl Wenze has taken over your position, and you can enjoy your old age with peace of mind."

Earl Edgar shook his head and said, "No, I am 88 years old and can't walk that far. This is my home and I want to return to my roots. I own a passenger ship that is well maintained. I will sell it to you for 10 pounds."

Buying a passenger ship for 10 pounds is no different from giving it away for free.

Gu Nuanyi opened her mouth slightly and looked at Count Edgar in surprise: "My Lord Count..."

Count Edgar waved his hand and said, "I don't need this passenger ship anymore, so you can see your friend off on my behalf! Gu girl, I can still hold on for two years. If you don't feel comfortable living in China, just come back."

Gu Nuanyi said with a bright smile: "Huaxia is my root, how can I not live comfortably here?"

The men who had been with Gu Nuanyi for a while also came to say goodbye to her.

"Honey, are you really going to leave?"

Gu Nuanyi looked at the man in front of her with a smile on her face: "Before you call me dear, can you please look at the woman next to you? Her eyes are almost devouring me."

"Oh~sorry, it's just that Ai Li wanted to see you so much."

Gu Nuanyi held her forehead helplessly, wondering why she had fallen for this man in the first place.

Oh, now I remember, because he has a good-looking face...

As expected, IQ is exchanged for appearance, right?

Gu Nuanyi had no intention of getting back together with these exes. She just chatted with them briefly and sent them away.

Morton: "Miss, the passenger ship has been cleaned and you can leave at any time."

Gu Nuanyi nodded and walked around the town of Speenbridge.

Finally, after treating Count Edgar to dinner, he set off on his journey home.

By the time Gu Nuanyi boarded the ship and left, the museum had not yet figured out who had stolen the artifacts.

In order to give an explanation, the museum director and the staff who were on duty that night were fired.

Then a new director was appointed.

The new curator was swearing when he took office.

Obviously, he was forced to do this.

on board a passenger ship

Morton placed a cup of brewed jasmine green tea next to Gu Nuanyi: "Miss, please have some tea."

Gu Nuanyi stood on the deck and looked at the endless sea. She felt nervous and excited. She was going back to China.

But Gu Nuanyi was too excited too early

It will take another month and a half of sailing on the sea to reach China...

Three days later, Gu Nuanyi's nervousness was over.

He began to use his spiritual power to attack the creatures in the sea.

A week later, Gu Nuanyi leaned on the railing with a numb face, watching the waves rolling in boredom.

The underwater world is wonderful, but after seeing it every day and seeing it too much, I just feel: Well... it's just like that...

Just as Gu Nuanyi yawned and was about to go to sleep, Morton ran up to Gu Nuanyi with an excited look on his face.

"Miss, look!" In Morton's palm lay a rose pink oval bead.

Morton said excitedly, "Miss, this is the conch pearl that was just opened from the conch. It is said that only one useful conch pearl can be found in about 50,000 conches."

Gu Nuanyi didn't reach out to take it, but just looked at it closely for a while: "It's really beautiful, take it and find a master to inlay it, just right for your fiancée, this rose pink color is perfect for giving to young girls."

Morton blushed immediately: "Thank you, Miss!"

When they were about to reach the Huaxia port, Gu Nuanyi moved all the wooden boxes in the space to the cargo hold at the bottom of the passenger ship.

All the servants on the passenger ship were selected from the manor and all of them were affixed with loyalty charms.

Even if a large number of wooden boxes suddenly appeared, they remained calm and composed.

When arriving at the port, Gu Nuanyi did not get off the ship immediately, but Morton went to contact the embassy.

The people from the embassy looked at the blond Morton and warmly welcomed him.

"Welcome to China, is there anything we can help you with?"

"My young lady brought back a batch of cultural relics and wants to donate them to China for free!"

"Cultural relics!" The girl who was in charge of receiving Morton jumped up and ran to find the diplomat of the embassy.

When the diplomat heard that someone wanted to donate cultural relics, he immediately came out with a smile on his face.

Seeing Morton sitting on a chair with nothing in his hands and no boxes around him, he thought it was some small artifact that he could carry with him.

The diplomat said with a warm smile: "Thank you for your kind donation, where is this cultural relic?"

Morton: "The lady's ship is still at the port, and the cultural relics are on board. The lady said that they will be donated to China free of charge."

The diplomat's eyes flickered when he heard this. This title seemed to be from a big family.

Diplomats' expectations for cultural relics suddenly increased a lot

"Thank you so much, Miss. I wonder if it would be convenient for me to visit her now."

Morton nodded: "Of course!"

"Please lead the way, little friend!"

Morton brought a group of people from the embassy to the ship

Gu Nuanyi saw Morton coming back with his men through her spiritual power, and immediately changed into a cheongsam and came to the deck.

Upon seeing Gu Nuanyi, the diplomat's pupils shrank slightly. He did not expect that she was a compatriot. He immediately stepped forward and greeted Gu Nuanyi enthusiastically: "Madam, welcome home!!"

"I'm glad to be home too." Gu Nuanyi knew the purpose of the diplomat's visit and asked Morton to take the diplomat to the cargo hold. "Let's talk later. How about we get down to business first?"

The diplomat nodded and followed Morton to the cargo hold.

The diplomat looked at the wooden boxes piled high in the cargo hold. For the first time, he opened his mouth and asked with a trembling voice, "Are these all?"

Gu Nuanyi smiled and nodded: "It is my honor to contribute to China"
