The two of them were talking all the way home. As soon as they arrived in the valley, Gu Shuixiu asked Dong Yi to stop the donkey cart and specially sent some local specialties from Linhai County to the Qin family and Zuo family.

Uncle Qin could not help but inquire about Dong Chenghu's situation, but Gu Shuixiu said without hesitation: "Uncle, ask whatever you want. I have nothing to hide in front of you. The rebel army captured Linhai County. Now Cheng Hu is guarding Linhai County and asked someone to give these things to me. Dong Wei and the others are still fine. As long as they are fine, Cheng Hu will be even more fine."

Uncle Qin and others were all worried when they got Gu Shuixiu's words. It was at this moment that Gu Shuixiu's experience. Xu Bingyao was holding a baby in her arms. Her eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "But I have just been born? How many months have you been?"

Xu Bingyao shyly smiled with joy and said reservedly: "It's only two months old, I'm a son."

"Oh, then congratulations!" Gu Shuixiu said sincerely. Xu Bingyao's previous experience was also bumpy. Fortunately, she was attracted by Qin Chuan. Now she has two sons in a row. Her position in the Qin family is unbreakable. I believe that she wants to help Xu Binghe now, and Uncle Qin and Hao will not have any objection.

Xu Bingyao accepted Gu Shuixiu's blessing, her rosy face shone with a bright light of happiness, and said sincerely: "Shuixiu, thanks to your help, I am living a good life now. I have a husband and son, and my younger brother can support myself. I am content in my life."

"What stupid things are you saying! You are so young, your brother has not taken the imperial examination yet, and everything is still early! When your brother really gets the imperial examination, you will definitely believe this when you say this!" Gu Shuixiu smiled and said seriously: "I told your brother before in the county town that the situation outside is unclear. He is a scholar who has no reliance on him. If he goes to the imperial examination now, it would be fine if he doesn't pass the imperial examination. If he passes, I'm afraid his life will not be free in the future. I advise him to wait a few more years, and it's not too late to take the exam again when he is in his twenties. Everything is safe first. You won't blame me for saying these words to him if you take the initiative!"

Gu Shuixiu stared at Xu Bingyao's eyes seriously. If she saw a slight dissatisfaction in Xu Bingyao's eyes, she would definitely not interfere in these matters in the future.

Fortunately, Xu Bingyao did not show any unhappy expression, but just chuckled: "You are the same as I thought, but I don't understand the situation outside. But when I was a child, my father said that he had accumulated a lot. The longer he learned, the more he had settled. Only when he could go to the imperial examinations when his literary thoughts were flowing will he have a chance of winning. Obviously, my brother does not have such skills yet, and it would be good to wait for a few more years."

Gu Shuixiu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this. Their feelings were not the same, but fortunately the purpose was the same, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Gu Shuixiu stayed in the Qin family for a while, chatted for a few words, and then turned around and went to the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is still as quiet as before. Different things are different. Zuo Fengshi, Zuo Fengying and Dong Youyou are now studying in Cuizhushan. The man studies with Mr. Shen, the woman studies embroidery with Dong Yunlan, and has to study with Liu Yueyi. The children are not at home, and the Zuo family becomes even more deserted.

Gu Shuixiu knocked on the door for a while before Dong Yunmei came out to open the door. When she saw Gu Shuixiu, her reaction was similar to that of Zhao. It might be that she had been quiet alone for a long time, and it was rare to see her expected relatives coming to her. This kind of joy can be imagined.

Gu Shuixiu was somewhat expectant and sad and amused Dong Yunmei. Dong Yunmei said jokingly: "Go back quickly, go back..."
