628 Do you want to or not?
On the 20th of July, Gu shouxin and Cai Xiaolian brought their daughters to the prefecture to buy people and a Manor.
Since they would be gone for two to three days, Empress Jiang decided to follow them as she thought that her brother and sister-in-law should have arrived at the prefecture.
Since Gu Hui had gone with them, grandma Gu came over to take a look at the washing and skincare set.
In the carriage, Gu Xin stuck her head out and looked at Xue Qianyu, ” “Second brother Xue, where did brother Yuanyuan go? I was just chatting with him last night. Why is he not at home today?”
“You only noticed that Zhou Yuan is missing?” Xue qianxun’s mouth twitched.
Gu shouxin tilted his head and looked at Xue Qianyu with a dangerous gaze. Are you trying to lead my daughter in a certain direction?
Xue Qianyu felt the air around him cool down and turned his head away from Gu shouxin. Zhou Yuan sent Huo Junhao home. Last night, a servant from the Huo family came to the house to deliver a letter saying that Huo Junhao’s grandfather was sick. Huo Junhao was making a fuss about going home immediately. Zhou Yuan was worried, so he sent him home overnight.
that’s right, Huo Wantong isn’t here either. No wonder he kept saying that his grandfather would come to play chess with my father. We thought he was purposely hanging around with brother Yuanyuan, but it turns out that his grandfather is sick! Gu Xin exclaimed.
Xue qianxun nodded and said,”yes.”
Gu shouxin looked away, pulled the reins, and stared ahead.
Xue qianxun heaved a sigh of relief. He was finally not cold anymore.
Why did second uncle Gu have such a strong aura? That dignified look of his was no worse than the emperor’s when he was angry!
Why is he scaring me?
I don’t want to take Xinxin away.
That damned second Lu!
Suddenly, Empress Jiang asked,”Qianyu, is old master Huo sick?” What illness was it? Did the person say anything?”
Madam, ” Xue Qianyu replied respectfully, ” I heard that old master Huo and another local old man had an argument. They even got physical. In the end, both of them knocked each other out.
“Yingluo,” Empress Jiang replied.
I heard that Huo Junhao’s grandfather is the Grand Tutor of two dynasties and the teacher of the current Emperor. Who dares to hit him? ” Gu shouxin was amused.
Huo Junhao did not hide his identity and everyone knew about it. However, he did not put on airs at all, so the Gu family did not usually remember his identity.
After all, Huo Wantong’s reputation was well-known in the Qing Prefecture. Everyone knew his family’s glory.
The great Zhou Dynasty had a rule that all the students who took the examination had to take the examination at the place where their clan was located. Those who did not have a clan would be registered at the place where they were registered.
The Huo family’s ancestral shrine was in Nan County, so he was an examinee from the Qing provincial government.
“Second uncle, according to the manservant, the other old man is the old master of the Peng family. He is the old general Peng who helped the great Zhou take back five cities from the southern border twenty years ago!” Xue qianren said.
Gu shouxin was speechless.
Gu Nian thought,”I feel that the Imperial court of the great Zhou Dynasty is strange. How can civil officials knock out military generals?”
Could it be that the Emperor was strange?
second brother Xue, brother Yuanyuan said that he wanted to be a general. He admires old general Peng the most. He even told me many stories about old general Peng on the battlefield! Gu Xin said with admiration in her eyes. I also like old general Peng!”
Xue Qianyu was taken aback, then asked,”he told you all this?” Aren’t you young ladies afraid?”
Gu Xin patted Xue Qianyu’s back, ” “Don’t talk nonsense! Why should we, young ladies, be afraid! The soldiers on the battlefield fought bloody battles so that we could have a peaceful and comfortable life. They were people worthy of respect, so why should we be afraid? Besides, brother Yuanyuan will be one of them in the future. I won’t be afraid.”
Xue Qianyu: ” you’ve already said that you’ve fought a bloody battle. On the battlefield, no one can be sure that they’ll come back alive. Do you still want your brother Yuan Yuan to be one of them? ”
Gu Xin was stunned. that’s right, second brother Xue makes a lot of sense. Do I want him to go or not? ”
