Zhao Chengmo came back after seeing someone off. The four of them sat together and were just about to talk when a servant came in to report that a guest had arrived.

"Su Xuancheng? What is he doing here?" Gu Feirui asked somewhat uncomfortably.

Gu Feirui and Su Xuancheng are the same age, one is good at literature and the other is good at martial arts. They have been compared to people in the capital since they were young, so naturally they dislike each other.

Gu Xiuyi went out and brought the person in. As soon as Su Xuancheng entered the door, he asked, "What did you eat for lunch? It smells so good."

"You came to our house just to ask us what we had for lunch?" Gu Feirui said with a sneer.

Su Xuancheng glanced at him and said, "Isn't this the famous General Dingyuan?"

Gu Feirui was not to be outdone, "Isn't this the famous Minister of Works, Lord Su Xiaohou?"

The other three people looked at the tense atmosphere and said they would not comment on the childish behavior of these two people.

The two of them argued for a while, but probably felt that it was boring, so they stopped this boring conversation.

Gu Lingze looked at Su Xuancheng and asked, "What is the matter with Young Marquis Su coming to visit today?"

Su Xuancheng scratched his neck, seeming a little embarrassed, "Can you show me the blueprint of the divine arm crossbow you mentioned the other day?"

Gu Xiuyi glanced at Gu Lingze and saw him nod slightly, so he replied: "Of course, I'll go get it."

Gu Xiuyi returned to his room as quickly as possible, traced the drawing of the Shenbi crossbow from the Wubeizhi onto paper, and took it over.

Su Xuancheng looked a little excited. He didn't say anything after taking the drawings and kept studying them carefully.

"Actually, I think this place can be improved a bit." Gu Lingze said, pointing to the location of the crossbow mechanism.

In fact, he also talked about it in combination with his experience with modern weapons. He knows something about this aspect. After all, many boys are interested in military or weapons.

"If we remove this and add a ring, it will save time and effort when loading the crossbow."

The other four looked at it for a while, and Su Xuancheng was the first to understand, "Great! This not only saves manufacturing materials, but also reduces the weight of the entire crossbow. It really kills three birds with one stone."

After discussing the crossbow, the five people started talking about chain mail. They talked for the whole afternoon with great interest. It was not until Qian Bo came in and asked them to eat that the five people realized that an entire afternoon had passed.

Su Xuancheng was invited to have dinner by Xie Qingwan. During the meal, she told him that she would pick a good day and bring a matchmaker to visit Wen Xinhou to discuss the wedding date. Su Xuancheng glanced at Gu Xiuyi and nodded.

Gu Lingze ate a little too much at dinner, so Zhao Chengmo accompanied him for a walk in the garden.

"you……"

"us……"

They both spoke at the same time and laughed at the same time.

"You speak first." Gu Lingze said with a smile.

Zhao Chengmo did not give in to him for the first time this time. He stopped and looked at Gu Lingze seriously, "You saved my life before. You said that if you want to repay me, you should let me marry you."

"Actually, I've wanted to repay you for a long time. Are you willing to marry me?"

Zhao Chengmo's palms were full of sweat. He felt that there would never be a more tense moment in his life than now. He looked at Gu Lingze intently, trying to get the answer from his eyes.

Gu Lingze looked at his nervous expression and felt that the man in front of him was simply adorable to the core. He raised his hands to hook Zhao Chengmo's neck and looked into his dark eyes.

"Okay, let's get married." After saying that, he pressed his lips against hers.

When the two separated again, they were both a little out of breath. Zhao Chengmo leaned against his forehead and asked, "When are we getting married?"

Gu Lingze smiled evilly, "Of course, I'll wait until my eldest brother gets married."

He knew that the other party really wanted to spend her life with him, but he was more or less stimulated by the news that his eldest brother was getting married, so he told him everything today.

Therefore, Gu Lingze deliberately postponed the date because his reason for proposing was not pure enough.

Zhao Chengmo was immediately depressed after hearing this, because Xie Qingwan had just said yesterday that there were no good days this year, and the best auspicious day would be after the beginning of spring next year.

Gu Lingze chuckled. He seemed to see a big dog yowling and lowering its ears, looking three parts pitiful yet seven parts cute.

The two of them had "secretly decided" to spend their lives together. In fact, their feelings had already matured and getting married was a matter of time. However, Gu Lingze was still touched that Zhao Chengmo asked him so seriously.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Jinzi was successfully admitted to Nanlin Academy. Since Wu Rui started learning martial arts from a martial arts master, he really didn't want to study anymore, but it was definitely not possible to completely stop studying, so Brother Wu and his son made three rules: Jinzi must pass the examination to become a scholar before he could stop going to the academy and concentrate on practicing martial arts.

Early in the morning, servants from the Taifu Mansion came running over and said that Han Xiaoran was about to give birth. Xie Qingwan and Gu Lingze hurried over.

Xie Luocheng dripped the spiritual milk into the water and fed Han Xiaoran to drink it. This was also what Gu Lingze had instructed him before.

Han Xiaoran's and Li Jin's situations were different. When the former drank it, it was absorbed by adults and children, while when the latter drank it, it was absorbed by the demon pill. So after Han Xiaoran drank it, he felt the pain was obviously relieved.

When Xie Qingwan and Gu Lingze arrived, Xie Luocheng was waiting anxiously outside the door, pacing back and forth, and Old Madam Xie was comforting him.

Xie Qingwan also stepped forward to comfort him: "Don't worry, Luo Cheng, Xiao Ran and the child will be safe."

It was no wonder that Xie Luocheng was anxious. He and Han Xiaoran were both not young anymore. He was in his thirties and it was his first child. He must be feeling very uneasy.

"Uncle, don't worry. I have been checking your pulse. He will definitely give birth smoothly. Don't worry."

Xie Luocheng felt a little relieved after hearing what Gu Lingze said, and the three of them waited outside the door with him.

Just after the hour of Si, with a cry, Han Xiaoran finally gave birth to the child safely.

The midwife came out and announced the good news, "It's born, it's a boy."

Xie Luocheng hurried in, looked at Han Xiaoran, whose face was covered in sweat, took his hand and put it on his face and said, "Xiaoran, you've worked hard."

Gu Lingze calculated with his fingers and found that a child born at this time in the Year of the Horse had good fortune and would have good luck in the future.

When Xie Xiru came back from court, he was very happy to know that he had a grandson, so he immediately named him Xie Yujin, which means gold, jade and brocade.

At noon, the whole family gathered together to congratulate Xie Luocheng. He was so happy that he looked contented as to have his brother.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day for Heyilou to open.

Early in the morning, several families gathered at the door of the restaurant and pulled down the red silk on the plaque. Heyilou was officially opened.
