Gu Chengyu took a quick bath and set off with Ye Zhiqiu. It would take them over half an hour to walk from the inn to the government office, passing by Gu Chengyu's First-class House on the way.
Gu Chengyu planned to take two boxes of pastries from First-class House. It's better to get them from his own shop than to buy them elsewhere, especially since he taught the cook to make a lot today, and the shop wouldn't open until tomorrow, so these pastries wouldn't be finished.
As for tea leaves and other items, they would be bought from the grocery store and teahouse on their way.
The two arrived at the government office with their gifts, and it was already late afternoon. Someone was already standing outside the back residence of the government office. Gu Chengyu looked closely and saw the person's attire suggested he was a steward.
