Gu Qingcheng showed her talents, and Gu Youyi also successfully gained the love and respect of Yuwen Heng.

It is said that Yuwen Heng followed Gu Youyi's advice and went to Rouxuan.

The next year, the Rouran invaded, and their main force bypassed Huaihuang and headed straight for Rouxuan.

Yuwen Heng was reminded by Gu Youyi, who was "prophetic", and made preparations early.

In addition, Yuwen Heng was brave and good at fighting, and the soldiers under his command were all fearless and unafraid of death.

Not only did Yuwen Heng resist the attack of the main force of the Rouran, but when reinforcements were about to arrive and the Rouran were retreating, he decisively led his troops out of the city to pursue them.

In the battle with Rouxuan, Yuwen Heng won a great victory.

Not only did he kill hundreds of enemy soldiers, but he also captured the three princes of Rouran alive.

Yuwen Heng became famous in one battle!

He became the little war god of the Yuwen family, second only to his biological father Yuwen Song.

Thanks to his military achievements, Yuwen Heng not only received commendations from the court, but also successfully became Yuwen Song's successor.

"Ah Heng, you're great! You're my child!"

Yuwen Song laughed heartily and patted Yuwen Heng's still young shoulders hard.

In fact, for Yuwen Song, Yuwen Heng was not the most outstanding among his many sons.

As the son of a military general, Yuwen Heng was not considered strong or brave. He was a bit more gentle and frail than his other brothers.

Of course, Yuwen Heng is not really a weakling.

But as a general, he is still not tough and powerful enough.

However, Yuwen Heng has a great advantage——

"The Gu family is indeed a noble family. They are not bound by worldly things. They can even teach little girls so carefully!"

When Yu Wensong thought of the smart and precocious Gu Youyi, his eyes were full of admiration.

The Yuwen family is a military family. Although they don’t say it, they admire those elegant and handsome scholars the most in their hearts.

Especially those from aristocratic families, they are noble, knowledgeable, and have first-class looks.

Each of them, wearing long robes with wide sleeves and clothes as white as snow, looks like a banished immortal.

Although the Gu family was forced to flee to the Northern Dynasty.

But they did not fail.

Not to mention the Gu family's aristocratic character, even the salt-making method and horseshoes they brought out are enough to prove how profound the family's foundation is.

There are also the two brothers Gu Yi and Gu Ji, who are both talented in both literature and martial arts.

Being able to marry into such a family is also very good for their Yuwen family.

What a pity! Gu Yi's eldest daughter is already married, and his youngest daughter, out of filial piety, accompanied her grandfather in exile in Lingnan.

Otherwise, letting Ah Heng marry the daughter of the eldest branch of the Gu family would be the best option!

[…Gu Youyi is also okay! ]

Although her status is slightly lower than that of Sanniang, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, she is more intelligent.

Tsk tsk, if she marries Ah Heng, she will definitely become Ah Heng's good wife and wise man!

"Father fully approves of your relationship with the little girl from the Gu family. If you were not so young, I would have told Minister Gu!"

Yu Wensong felt a little regretful. Alas, the little girl from the Gu family was only nine years old this year.

It's still too early to get engaged.

The Minister Gu he was referring to was Gu Yi.

Ahem, Gu Yi was promoted again and now he has become the Minister of Works, stepping further into the core.

Gu Yi: ...A minister is really nothing compared to my son's great cause.

Gu Yi has received a letter from his old father. In the letter, Gu Heng told Gu Yi that Gu Qingcheng discovered a magical rice seed.

During this period, Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng had sent a small team to Jiaozhou, or even further south.

Attacking a city or something like that requires a lot of preparation.

Let’s find the rice seeds first!

Gu Yi knew the importance of food. If his family really had a good variety of drought-resistant and high-yielding crops—

"Let's put the matter between Li Nu and Yu Wenheng aside for now!"

Gu Yi became more determined in his thoughts, and he called Gu Ji over.

Gu Yi and Gu Ji are brothers from the same mother and are very close.

Today, the two brothers are struggling hard in the Northern Dynasty, and they rely on and trust each other more and more.

Gu Yi did not hide it from Gu Ji and gave Gu Heng's letter directly to Gu Ji.

Gu Ji was not stupid. After reading the letter, he knew what his father and brother were planning.

He nodded and said softly, "Li Nu is still young. It won't be too late to discuss marriage when she's thirteen or fourteen!"

After three to five years, when Gu Qingcheng's side has become prosperous, the Gu family can "return south".

Naturally, the marriage between Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng came to nothing!

Gu Yi and Gu Ji's decision was definitely for Gu Youyi's own good.

But, they don’t appreciate it!

"Mother, uncle just can't stand seeing our second branch doing well!"

"Brother Heng and I are in perfect harmony, and we are in the Northern Dynasty, and we need the support of the Xianbei nobles!"

"...It was fine that the eldest branch of the family used to suppress the second branch, but now that they have come to the Northern Dynasty, they are actually..."

"My aunt used to be a princess, always more dignified than other noble ladies, but now, she is not as good as you!"

Gu Youyi held her mother Xie's hand and complained softly.

Although her words were impolite, they touched upon some of Xie's deepest thoughts.

Yes, the eldest branch is noble, and their second branch is like an appendage of the eldest branch.

In addition, Xiao was once a princess, and in Jiankang, she was even more noble than the queen.

In the Gu family, Xie was both the brother's wife and a servant, so she had to be polite to Xiao.

But now, the Xiao family's empire has been taken over by many people, and Xiao has become an ordinary woman.

In terms of family background, it is definitely not as good as Xie’s family!

But Xie is not a naive child.

Although he was dissatisfied with the eldest son's tyranny, he would not really get angry with him or even turn against him.
