The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Chapter 349 The Fierce and Menacing Zhou Chengxing
Gu Zheyuan, who came up from behind, patted Mu Chunping on the shoulder sympathetically.
"Brother Mu, you don't seem to be very popular in your family."
Gu Zheyuan looked up and saw Shen Muyang rushing over in a hurry, and said smugly,
"Look, my nephew has come to pick me up."
Shen Muyang ran up to Gu Zheyuan and looked him over.
"Uncle, where's my sister?"
Gu Zheyuan had already opened his arms to give his little nephew a hug, but Shen Muyang didn't even glance at him.
Zhou Mingcheng, who had already wisely stepped aside, smiled at Gu Zheyuan and Mu Chunping.
"Uncle Gu, Second Uncle Mu, let's go by ourselves."
I think with Ningbao around, they can't see us.
…………
Ningbao was carried home in different arms the whole way from the beach.
Upon arriving at the Mu family home, Ningbao immediately ran towards Mu Dasheng's room.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Ningbao is back."
Upon hearing Ning Bao's voice, Mu Dasheng, who was inside the house, quickly stood up, leaning on his cane.
"Ningbao, my dear grandson, you're back?"
Seeing her grandfather leaning on a cane, Ningbao quickened her pace but slowed down as she approached Mu Dasheng.
Because of her strength, she was afraid that she might accidentally knock her grandfather over.
Mu Dasheng held Ningbao in his arms and looked at Ningbao's little face carefully.
"You've gotten darker! You've lost weight!"
"Old woman, hurry and kill a chicken, catch a duck, and also the rabbit and pheasant the Taoist priest caught!"
Li Guizhi, who walked in from outside, said with a smile,
"I understand. Yuzhen and Qingru have already been arrested. Do you need to explain these things to me?"
With Ningbao's return, both the Mu family and the neighboring Zhou family became lively...
After saying goodbye to Gu Yunrou at the manor, Gu Zheyuan mounted his horse and prepared to return to Yunlu City.
He was the governor of a city, and after being away for a month or two, he must have accumulated a lot of official duties.
Moreover, his wife and children are still in Yunlu City. He has been away for so long, he must go back to let them know he is safe, otherwise it would be too inappropriate.
Gu Zheyuan led his men at breakneck speed, arriving at the outskirts of Yunlu City in just over an hour.
He slowed his horse down to prepare to enter the city, when he saw several people and horses coming out of the city.
Since neither side was moving slowly, Gu Zheyuan couldn't see the people on horseback clearly.
But just as they were passing each other, Gu Zheyuan froze. He tentatively called out to the other person.
"Chengxing!"
"Whoa!"
Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Chengxing immediately pulled on the reins and turned the horse around.
"Zheyuan? Didn't you go to sea?"
Although Zhou Chengxing only went into the city for a meal, he learned that Prefect Gu was not in the city, but had personally led his troops out to sea to fight against the foreign tribes.
Seeing Zhou Chengxing, Gu Zheyuan started teasing him in a very good mood.
"It's not that I sensed our Zhenbei King was coming; even if I were at sea, I could only fly back to greet him."
Zhou Chengxing dismounted and patted Gu Zheyuan on the shoulder.
"You still love to joke around."
But I'm relieved to see you're in a good mood. You must have a lot to do since you just got back, so I won't take up any more of your time.
"Heh!" Gu Zheyuan gave a deliberately cold laugh.
"Don't waste my time. I think you're in a hurry to go to Chuyun Village to find a wife, aren't you?"
Zhou Chengxing laughed heartily.
"Haha! It really is urgent!"
Don't talk about me, aren't you in such a hurry because you're worried about your wife at home?
"It's not shameful for people our age to have feelings for their own wives; it's shameful to have feelings for other women."
Gu Zheyuan nodded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes! You're absolutely right!"
"By the way, you didn't come here just to see your wife, did you?"
