Gu Xiao knew from the moment he chose this path that when he persuaded General Gu before, he did not want all the men of the Gu family to die in battle one day.
Gu Xiao stood up, walked to the window and looked into the distance and said: "I am still young, so I am more suitable than my father to stay at the border. After this war has been calmed down, I can live a quiet life for a few years. Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person."
, our Gu family has not yet had a child to carry on the family line, it would be unreasonable to send me to the border again, it would be good to live a quiet life for a few years."
Last time, Gu Qingying urged him to marry a wife, but he never agreed.
I have to get this thing done no matter what when I come back this time.
General Gu thought about the small size of the Gu family and sighed: "If you want to take a concubine in the future, I won't stop you."
Gu Xiao shook his head and refused without even thinking: "Forget it about taking a concubine. Once you marry someone, you have to be responsible for them. I envy the relationship between my father and my mother. I can marry a girl who can tolerate me for the rest of my life."
Guard well and don't let others down. If I have a son, I won't let him go into battle to kill the enemy. How can he be a general? Outsiders look majestic, but only we ourselves know how hard it is."
I felt helpless when I said these words.
At the beginning, he had no choice but to give his children a choice.
With guilt in his eyes, General Gu comforted him: "I will not let my grandson go to the battlefield again even if I risk my life."
Gu Xiao changed the subject and said: "I received a letter from Lizhou City. My sister has already set off to return to the Imperial City. She does this because she doesn't want Li Cangjue to know about Yue'er's existence!"
Yue'er is their treasure, and Li Cangjue is absolutely not allowed to know about it.
General Gu sighed: "I'm sorry for your sister. If I were in the imperial city, I would never have agreed to this marriage. Your mother died early, and the two of us have been fighting outside. It's not easy for your sister to be alone.
In the past, she had to be ostracized and targeted by Mrs. Cui. She has reached this point because of her hard work. I am not a qualified father."
He was not there when Gu Qingying needed protection the most.
If he were here, he would definitely not agree to this marriage.
Lu Qingying's life would not be like this. Even if she finds a less wealthy young master, it would be enough to make Lu Qingying happy.
Instead, Gu Xiao comforted General Gu: "Dad, some things are in the past, so why bother worrying about things that cannot be changed. From now on, we just need to protect our sister and Yue'er well. After the matter in the imperial city is over,
Let’s go to Lizhou City and stay with my grandparents.”
He actually has a hope in his heart, hoping to get rid of his current status. It would be great if he could become an ordinary citizen.
He no longer wants to live a life of hanging his head on his belt.
Every time he fought with the enemy, he was determined to die.
All four groups of people were on their way to the imperial city.
Shen Yunzheng knew that Gu Qingying was coming back, so he started sending people to clean Gu Qingying's yard.
He has not forgotten the arrangements Gu Qingying made for him when he left the imperial city.
I happened to find a suitable yard last year and bought it at a high price. Now all that remains is to renovate it.
The business of Xiangxianglou is much worse than two years ago. Because Gu Qingying is not here, there are no fresh vegetables in winter.
Fortunately, there is Lingquan Liquor in Minxianglou, so I won't be squeezed out by my peers.
Shen Yunzheng went to the third floor of the Minxiang Building. The door of the next room opened immediately. Li Jingyi came out and stood in front of Shen Yunzheng and said, "I heard from my brother that sister Qingying is coming back?"
When Shen Yunzheng faced Li Jingyi, he could only coax him in a good-tempered way, who could not afford to offend him!
He nodded and said: "Qingying is indeed coming back. Calculating the time will be about a month. She is not in a hurry, so she will be slower."
There was a smile on Li Jingyi's face, she raised her head and said: "For the sake of being Qingying's sister and brother, I have a piece of news for you. If you can afford it, buy as much as you can from the dilapidated courtyard in the west of the city."
After saying that, he entered the house.
Shen Yunzheng was filled with joy when he heard this.
He understood what Li Jingyi reminded him.
Chengxi estimates that the government building needs to be renovated.
After all, the west side of the city is really too dilapidated, and the people living there are poor people. If it is renovated, the streets may be re-planned, and then...
Shen Yunzheng has a great business acumen.
He immediately called the shopkeeper and asked him to serve Li Jingyi good wine and food for him to treat.
After entering the room, Li Jingyi sat on a chair boredly. The maid Qiaoer came up and said, "Shen Yunzheng asked the shopkeeper to prepare good wine and food for our guests."
Li Jingyi stood up, very satisfied with Shen Yunzheng's handling of the matter and said, "He is quite smart."
Qiaoer didn't understand: "But why did the princess tell him these things?"
This is a way to make money, and anyone who knows it can make a fortune.
Li Jingyi was very free and easy: "Whoever makes money is not making money. I feel comfortable letting him make money. He is good to Sister Qingying, and Sister Qingying is my only friend. And I also hope that she and my brother will get back together." !”
This is what she hopes for.
In the past two years, I have been thinking about this even in my dreams.
Gu Qingying traveled all the way to enjoy the mountains and rivers. This time she left without taking Tomato. To her, Tomato was her biological sister. She was relieved to leave Yue'er to the Shen family, but she was even more relieved to have Tomato with her.
Furthermore, she might encounter some danger when she goes back this time. In this case, it would be even more necessary for Hongzhi to stay in Lizhou City. She was unwilling to let Hongzhi face danger.
So this time, except for the coachman sent by the Shen family and the two escorts, she didn't bring anyone with her.
In the blink of an eye, Li Cangjue returned to the imperial city.
The people of the imperial city cheered, and hundreds of officials came out of the city to greet him. The envoys from the Western Regions who followed Li Cangjue were also arranged to enter the post house.
Whether it was the Western Regions or the Northern Liang Kingdom, the Tianyuan Kingdom won every battle, and the losing country had to pay tribute if it wanted to show its favor.
Li Cangjue left the envoys from the Western Regions in the post house and ignored them.
Went directly into the palace.
The emperor was already waiting. He had been away for more than two years. When the emperor saw Li Cangjue, his eyes were filled with admiration.
"very good!"
The emperor said something appreciatively, and then laughed and said: "As expected of my emperor's son."
The other princes could only watch helplessly.
The emperor took Li Cangjue into the imperial study.
Li Cangjue briefly recounted what happened at the border.
The emperor listened carefully, and after Li Cangjue finished speaking, he said, "I heard that you saved a woman at the border, and that woman stayed with you for a long time, and she is the adopted daughter of the King of the Western Regions?"
Li Cangjue nodded with a dark face: "I thought I saved an ordinary woman, but I didn't want to set up a trap. When I found out, she was already on guard."
Li Cang became irritated at the thought of causing two big mistakes for a woman.
When there was a conflict between him and Gu Qingying, it was because of Gu Lian'er's side of the story.
