Chapter 770 Gu Huaiyu
General Gu and the second son of the Gu family, Gu Huaiyu, returned from the border.
They had just fought a fierce battle, but thanks to the bravery of the Gu family army and the wisdom of their generals, they had won the battle. The Northern Barbarians were badly defeated and retreated to the north of the Northern Desolate Mountains. The Great Zhou also established friendly relations with the Xiongnu, so the north was temporarily at peace.
This battle also caused a great sensation in the capital, and people were talking about it on the streets.
The Gu family army gained new fame, and Gu Huaiyu also became famous in this battle. If it weren't for Gu Huaiyu's courage and luring the enemy deep into the enemy's territory, this battle would still be unfinished. The people praised the second son of the Gu family as a god of war, and the Gu family had a successor.
Therefore, when General Gu and Gu Huaiyu returned to Beijing, many people lined the streets to welcome them.
Tang Li and Fang Miao, accompanied Gu's mother, went to the city gate to pick someone up.
Mother Gu stretched her head and looked at him with anticipation in her eyes.
My son and husband are away fighting, and as a mother and wife, I am most worried. Now that they are finally coming back, I feel both nervous and expectant.
It was not until noon that Mother Gu heard the sound of horse hooves. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she took two steps forward.
The city gate was wide open, and the first to come in were two tall horses.
The middle-aged man has deep features and a tall stature, while the young man is tall and slender. Although he is wearing armor, he has an elegant air.
Tang Li felt that her second brother was a strange contradiction. He had killed countless enemies in the battlefield, but he looked like a scholar. If he picked up a pen to write, there would be no sense of incongruity at all.
When her father saw them, his eyes lit up and he immediately jumped off his horse and walked up to them.
"Dad." Tang Li called out.
Fang Miao also cried out.
General Gu nodded, his eyes fell on Madam Gu's face, but he couldn't move them away.
General Gu suddenly opened his arms and hugged Madam Gu.
Mrs. Gu blushed. "This is outrageous, happening in public."
General Gu was a man who cared about his reputation, but he was even more afraid of his wife, so he decided to let go...
Mrs. Gu was a little reluctant. She said this, but when she felt her husband's hand was about to loosen, she quickly reached out and hugged his waist tightly.
General Gu also hugged her tightly, and the two of them cuddled together.
Tang Li looked at Gu Huaiyu: "Second brother."
Gu Huaiyu is elegant and gentle, and always has a smile on his face when he looks at people. This is also the reason why he is liked by all the maids in the mansion.
However, his smile is actually cold, and only when he looks at his loved ones does it add a bit of warmth.
Tang Li felt that her brother was like a robot, perfect and without any warmth. To this day, she had never seen him explode with emotion.
"Sister." Gu Huaiyu called out, then looked at Fang Miao, "Sister-in-law."
General Gu and Gu Huaiyu did not get on their horses, but led their horses towards the Gu Mansion.
Her parents' hands were tightly clasped together, and Tang Li felt a pang of pain in her teeth just watching.
As he walked along, Tang Li noticed that there were quite a few young girls on both sides of the road, all staring at Gu Huaiyu with burning eyes.
Gu Huaiyu is over thirty years old, but he is becoming more mature and charming. Coupled with the aura of a god of war, it is no wonder that those girls are obsessed with him.
Some bold girls even threw things into his arms to express their admiration.
There were many fruits and vegetables thrown at him. Fortunately, Gu Huaiyu was very skilled and could catch any that he could and throw them to the soldiers behind him, or else he could avoid them. Otherwise, if he was a weak young man, he would have been knocked unconscious by the blows.
Tang Li pulled Fang Miao and stood a few steps away from Gu Huaiyu to avoid being affected.
"Second brother, many people like you." Tang Li said with a smile.
Gu Huaiyu still smiled gently.
"Huaiyu, if there is a girl you like, let me talk to her for you." Mrs. Gu said immediately.
Gu Huaiyu's marriage is the thing that Mrs. Gu cares about most. The eldest and the third son are married, and now the second son is left. She also wants to find a wife for the second son so that he will have someone in his family who understands his needs and is caring.
Gu Huaiyu just shook her head: "Mom, I will tell you when I find someone I like."
After Gu Huaiyu said this, Mrs. Gu had nothing to say.
Tang Li suddenly saw a familiar figure among the girls. She was bright and flamboyant, and her almond-shaped eyes were staring straight at a certain place.
The girl was Du Wei's sister Du Yan, and the direction she was looking was her second brother Gu Huaiyu.
Du Yan's eyes were wide open, completely fixed on Gu Huaiyu, and she didn't even notice Tang Li, whom she knew.
Du Yan had never seen such a good-looking person.
She had come here out of curiosity, wanting to see how good-looking the legendary God of War was, so she came empty-handed. Now she regretted not buying some flowers and fruits for him!
So, I could only watch people walk away.
Tangli and his family returned to Gu Mansion.
General Gu and Gu Huaiyu first took a bath to wash off the dust and blood on their bodies.
General Gu took an exceptionally long bath. After he finished, he stayed in the room and talked quietly with Madam Gu, without coming out.
Gu Huaiyu changed into a long robe, looking more like a scholar. It was impossible to imagine him fighting in the battlefield.
Gu Huaiyu was surrounded by a crowd of people.
A little guy squeezed into the crowd, came in front of Gu Huaiyu, and looked at him curiously.
Gu Huaiyu also saw him.
"Mu Bao?" There was a smile in Gu Huaiyu's eyes, and the smile reached deep into his eyes.
Gu Huaiyu was often away on military campaigns and spent very little time in Beijing. He had only met his little nephew once or twice.
"Second uncle~" Mu Bao said in a baby voice.
Mu Bao has always been a very friendly person. He will jump on the bandwagon as soon as others show their goodwill.
Soon, he became familiar with Gu Huaiyu and moved his position from Gu Huaiyu's feet to his legs.
After a while, a pretty little girl came over, holding the hand of a smaller boy.
The little girl was very cute, with a touch of nobility, and looked a bit like Mu Bao.
"Tangbao." Gu Huaiyu said with a smile.
Tang Bao also called out "Second Uncle" in a baby voice, and the little boy she was holding called out, "Second Uncle."
The chubby little boy is the son of Fang Miao and Gu Huainian. He looks very much like his older brother. He has his older brother's expressionless face, but he makes an innocent and cute expression.
Gu Huaiyu also held the little boy on his lap.
Tang Bao sat on the small stool with dignity and a lazy attitude.
Gu Huaiyu was surrounded by a group of children.
Tang Li couldn't help but say: "Second brother is not only popular with girls, but also with children."
"It's a pity that my second brother is so hard-hearted towards those girls, otherwise my mother-in-law wouldn't be so worried." Fang Miao said.
Fang Miao had her hair tied up, and she looked much calmer than she had been a few years ago.
When Tang Li first met her, she was still a young girl struggling to make a living, but now she has become an elegant woman.
In order to take care of her children and run the Gu family, she finally gave up being a coroner.
She was worried about what her mother was worried about, and now she was also worried about Gu Huaiyu's marriage.
Tang Li also felt that her second brother's marriage was indeed a difficult problem.
In the novel, her second brother never married until his death.
Her second brother has a gentle temperament and always smiles. He seems affectionate, but in fact he is very heartless.
Tang Li found it hard to imagine which girl he would fall in love with, and even harder to imagine how he would look when he was moved.
