Gu Xiao grinned and was very satisfied: "I made this chicken soup. I got up before dawn. I learned it personally from the chef in Fuzhong. From now on, I can make chicken soup for you often. I don't want to eat or drink anything for you."
Don’t worry, an outsider will prepare it for you. Your chicken soup brother has taken care of it for you. I’ll learn other dishes when I have time. What do you like to eat?”
He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night because he was going to be an uncle.
It’s great to be an uncle!
Regardless of whether Gu Qingying gave birth to a son or a daughter, he liked it very much.
Gu Qingying entered the house carrying a bowl, followed by Gu Xiao.
Sitting on the stool, Gu Qingying drank a bowl of chicken soup directly. She raised her head and looked at Gu Xiao happily and said, "Brother, are you so warm-hearted? Did you learn this for your future sister-in-law?"
Gu Xiao immediately rolled his eyes at Gu Qingying, sat opposite Gu Qingying and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! I feel a little sad when you say that. I haven't even thought about whether we will get married or not!"
After saying that, he tilted his head and looked at Gu Qingying worriedly, as if he had something to hide.
Gu Qingying frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
She took a spoon and drank the soup ladle by ladle.
Gu Xiao said: "My father and I may have to go to the border again soon. Although the war in the south has subsided, the countries in the west are starting to make moves again and want to invade our border. Neither my father nor I know when the emperor will send us to the west."
When he was still young, his father left his mother behind when he went to fight at the border. Her mother would shed tears most of the time, worried about his father's safety.
Later, when he had Lu Qingying, he faced everything alone. If he had a wife, she would become a woman like her mother.
He may worry about her all day long, and he may go out for several years without even being able to see his children. This is not fair to the other party, at least that's what he thinks.
Gu Qingying listened carefully to what Gu Xiao said.
Before I knew it, I had finished the entire bowl of soup.
"Then what does brother think?" Gu Qingying asked seriously,
Gu Xiao said: "I don't want your future sister-in-law to be like my mother back then. She cried all day long and worried about my father's safety every day. Life was not good, and my mother was not happy either. Moreover, I have been
Big, I rarely saw dad before I went to the border."
Gu Qingying probably knew something about the situation and asked: "So when my brother chooses to go to the border, he actually wants to stay with his father, right?"
Gu Xiao nodded seriously: "Yes! I went to the border just to stay with my father."
He was worried that his father would be alone at the border.
Gu Qingying fell silent.
I have to say that Gu Xiao's ideas are very mature.
But Gu Xiao is not young anymore. He was silent for a while before saying, "Brother, have you ever thought that if something happens to you at the border, the Gu family will really be wiped out."
The Gu family is a loyal family and should not end up miserable.
This time it was Gu Xiao's turn to be silent.
After a long while, Gu Xiao raised his head and sighed: "Then what do you think I should do? I don't want to regret anyone."
On one side is the future wife, on the other side are the common people.
Gu Qingying said: "Don't go to the border! Without you, there will be other generals, and dad is getting older. I just hope that you two can be safe. I just want our family of three to be able to stay together until we grow old. Don't
Afraid, I can afford to support you."
She had space and a steady stream of income. Although Shen Yunzheng did not say how much money she had, she thought that during this period, she had made a lot of money from vegetables and poultry alone, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now,
There is spiritual spring water again.
Therefore, there is absolutely no problem in raising my brother and father.
Gu Xiao was moved in his heart, but he would never agree to Gu Qingying's proposal. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, we are men, we should support you, not you to support us."
But Gu Qingying put down the bowl and said: "What does it matter? Whether you raise me or I raise you, this is not the most important thing! The most important thing is that we can be together."
The borders are dangerous.
Gu Xiao sighed: "Things are not as simple as you think. There are not many generals at the border. Without everyone, there would be no small family. Sister, sometimes we have to know how to sacrifice."
Gu Qingying didn't care about that much, but she knew that it would be difficult to slowly change the minds of Gu Xiao and General Gu.
Said: "Then what do you think we should do if you and I are left alone? Who will take care of us?"
Gu Xiao was speechless.
Gu Qingying continued: "I know what you and dad think. You are dedicated to the country and the people, but I am very selfish. I only have you and dad in my heart. I just want you and dad to be safe. You don't think about getting married now.
So what about the future? When do you think about what you should do if the war never stops?"
There are constant wars these days, and there is no quiet time. It's just that some people are carrying a heavy load and moving forward.
But she is really selfish, she just wants the people she cares about to be safe.
I just want people who care about being able to live a normal life.
Gu Xiao didn't know what to say.
He stood up, scratched his head and said, "Then you mean that I will get married now?"
Gu Qingying said: "At least find a woman you like and get along with, preferably a woman we both like. You don't have to worry about your sister-in-law having no one to accompany her. I can accompany her. You don't have to worry about the child being born without anyone to take care of me. I can do it."
Help take care of it."
Gu Xiao still didn't understand: "I'll go ask dad and talk about it."
Gu Qingying handed the bowl to Gu Xiao: "Thank you for your hard work, brother, the soup is delicious!"
Gu Xiao instantly smiled like a big boy, holding the bowl and leaving with a smile.
Gu Qingying did not plan to go to Jucai Alley today, but planned to stop the vegetable business and wait for the big house to be purchased before going there.
In a small courtyard at the entrance of Jucai Lane, the door of the courtyard was ajar, and Li Cangjue sat on a chair and looked out the door.
Shunzi hesitated for a long time before whispering: "Master, it's time to go back. The princess probably won't come today."
He didn't know how to persuade him, the prince had been in a bad state these past few days.
Li Cangjue's voice was a little hoarse as he said, "Are you really not coming?"
Shunzi sighed and said, "Based on the princess' past schedule, she probably won't come."
Li Cang decided that his mood had become very bad: "Why? Does she dislike me so much?"
He couldn't understand why Gu Qingying became so heartless.
After obviously getting married, he could feel Gu Qingying's love for him, waiting for him to come home to eat together every day, changing his clothes, resting with him, and lingering with him.
But now, it seems that the woman has forgotten everything before.
It is said that a couple's kindness lasts a hundred days, but Gu Qingying completely forgot about the past kindness.
Shunzi persuaded: "Although what I said may be a bit unpleasant, I still want to say a few words. The princess is obviously heartbroken and doesn't want to continue. Why do you insist, my lord? There are many women queuing up in the imperial city to marry you.
Very good!"
He just wanted to say don't hang yourself on a tree. Gu Qingying has become a thing of the past, so why bother with persistence.
The prince is in trouble, but it is he, the slave, who suffers the most.
