Chapter 141 When a Little Girl Pets
"Gu Wanru asked someone to pawn a lot of her dowry jewelry."
Gu Huan didn't find it strange: "She is short of money, so she would do this naturally."
"She is used to extravagance. She used the money she just pawned to buy clothes and jewelry. The previous ones were said to be old."
Gu Huan smiled.
Gu Wanru was brought up in pampered condition, she was stupid and considered herself noble.
Without a heart, greed grows.
"Hasn't Mu An reconciled with her recently? Naturally, she should dress up nicely."
"It's strange to talk about reconciliation. Before, the young master and Gu Wanru were considered equals. When she first got married, they were intimate for a long time. But since she got pregnant, Mu An fell in love with Yaoyao, and they are not so affectionate anymore. But they haven't been as indulgent as they have been in the past few days. Do you think Gu Wanru did something?"
Zhou Zhilan had a gossipy look on her face.
He leaned in closer and whispered, "That zither player looks gentle and refined, and he is dealing with the young master and Gu Wanru. He is not serious at all. Maybe he brought something from Yichun Courtyard for Gu Wanru."
Gu Huan thought about it.
It seems that this is possible.
What good can Gu Wanru get from begging someone like Yaoyao?
What's more, Yaoyao might have other purposes.
"Do you know what tonic she drinks every day?"
"What?"
"Pregnancy medication."
Gu Huan understood.
Is Gu Wanru crazy about wanting to get pregnant?
All means were used.
But she was so stupid that she actually formed an alliance with a woman like Yaoyao. Isn't that courting death?
It’s only been a short time since you had a miscarriage, and you’re already giving up your life.
Gu Huan was very wary of Yaoyao and the zither player Wu Yuan. Fortunately, Chi Yan sent people to keep an eye on them, and there were no other movements.
Perhaps, their current goal is to use Mu An to complete the Pei family's military supply affairs.
They can also make the Pei family think that it was done by the Duke's Mansion.
However, this was exactly what she wanted.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, the military’s winter clothing should be delivered in half a month.
Gu Huan's hand gently touched the sachet hanging around her waist.
Mu Junyan's token is placed inside.
Gu Huan thought of Mu Junyan again.
I wonder if he misses me too? Gu Huan touched her feverish face.
Why does my heart start pounding when I think of him?
In the past, he planned to use the Pei family for military supplies to overthrow Aunt Pei and Mu An and his wife just for revenge.
Now, things are becoming more and more complicated.
It even involved spies from Southern Xinjiang and posed a direct threat to Mu Junyan.
Gu Huan could not just enjoy the kindness from him and everyone in the Duke's Mansion. Now that he was gone, she not only had to take good care of his mother, but also had to do her best to protect the Duke's Mansion.
Gu Huan is most looking forward to the arrival of night.
For several days in a row recently, letters have been sent back from southern Xinjiang every day.
The letters to the old lady were only one or two pages, but each letter to her contained some small gifts.
Sometimes it is a wolf's tooth, sometimes it is a tuft of bright red hair of some unknown animal, sometimes it is a heart-shaped stone, and sometimes it is a beautiful feather of a bird that has never been seen before.
Are you treating her like a child?
These things may seem like random little gadgets, but if you look closely you will find that they are all very rare.
It can be seen that he put a lot of effort into it.
Gu Huan could imagine his face smiling knowingly when he saw these little gadgets and thought of using them to coax her.
Gu Huan felt a little amused and had mixed emotions.
Every word of Mu Junyan is a gem.
He didn't even say a word about how many things he had secretly arranged for her.
Gu Huan thought about it carefully and realized that it was true. He had done so much for her.
Every time she encountered a problem, someone would come forward and say that it was arranged by the master.
I don't know how he can think so carefully.
Before leaving, she didn't let him feel at ease.
Gu Huan stared at the letter that had just arrived today. There was not a single word or anything in it.
She looked over and over, looking at Dong Mo in surprise.
"Is this for me?"
"Well, the lady's envelope is different from the old lady's. The wax seal on your envelope is magnolia, so it can't be mistaken."
Gu Huan held her cheek and thought about it.
Could it be that everything is implied?
Gu Huan thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote two words on Mu Junyan’s letter: Missing you.
He folded the sealing wax and handed it to Dong Mo.
Dong Mo looked at the thin letter and couldn't help but remind: "Madam, are you really not going to send something?"
"What?"
Gu Huan was embarrassed to let others see what she was thinking, so she pretended to be disapproving.
"Look at what he gave me. He just picked it up on the ground and gave it to me, but I still despised it."
Dong Mo took the letter and felt sorry for his master for a moment.
Gu Huan emphasized: "Tell the messenger to tell him that I hate these things. I am not a child anymore."
…
Mu Junyan fought a great battle as soon as he arrived in southern Xinjiang.
More than ten days had passed since the first battle was over.
Only then did Mu Junyan have time to write a letter home.
In the past, he would report his safety to his mother every ten days or half a month. His mother was also a military officer, so she would not be anxious if she occasionally did not receive a message from him.
But now there is Gu Huan.
The little girl is crybaby, timid and cowardly.
If the letter gets lost or delayed by something and doesn't reach her in time, I'm afraid she will cry.
Mu Junyan felt soft in his heart when he thought of the little girl crying with red eyes and twitching nose, looking like a bullied kitten.
Fortunately, as long as there was no war, I could send a letter back every day.
I always bring her something new.
The little girl has rarely been out of the house and hasn't seen much of the world.
Let her open her eyes and see something interesting.
But what made him a little depressed was that the little girl rarely replied to his letters.
The reply was also very formal, just writing about how things were going at home, and whether the old lady was eating well and sleeping well, but there was not a single word about missing him.
I specifically asked the messenger and he was told that every letter had arrived at the mansion.
This really made him angry.
If I see her one day, I will eat her up!
So, in his most recent letter, he put a blank piece of letter paper.
One meaning is that the longing is endless and cannot be expressed in words.
The second meaning is, little girl, you should write back to me properly.
…
"Master, letters from home." Seeing him walking towards the tent, the guards hurriedly handed him two letters.
Mu Junyan stopped and saw two letters in his hands. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
He took the letter with a serious face and motioned for the person to leave.
He quickly turned around and went into the account, eagerly opening the letter from Gu Huan.
She actually wrote two big words on the blank letterhead he sent back: Miss you.
"Miss? Just two words? How stingy!"
Mu Junyan was very dissatisfied, but he felt happy in his heart.
The extremely smart little girl understood what he meant.
He carefully folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and put it under his pillow.
…
Gu Huan was unaware that she was being blamed, and went to Xiangrui Hall to make snacks herself as per her daily routine.
The old lady was chatting happily with her, and the conversation turned to Mu Junyan.
"Good boy. I have something to discuss with you."
Gu Huan raised her head: "Well, mother, you say."
"If... I mean if, if Ziyuan can't come back, I will recognize you as my goddaughter, and I will ask for the title of county lady for you. You can accompany the old lady when you are free, okay?"
Gu Huan was startled and felt a pain in her heart.
Two months later, Mu Junyan will...
She hurriedly grabbed the old lady's hand and smiled sweetly, "What are you talking about? I am your daughter-in-law. No matter what happens, I will be with you."
The old lady looked at the little girl and saw that she spoke softly, her eyes were clear and bright, and she was particularly considerate and caring.
You don’t have to think too much when you are with her, she is as warm and caring as a little cotton-padded jacket.
The old lady finally understood why her son, who had vowed not to marry, made an exception for her.
She can always make people bring out the softness in their hearts and forget the unhappy things.
Southern Xinjiang is actually more complicated than northern Xinjiang.
Before the collapse of the previous dynasty, various small tribes in southern Xinjiang, led by Dali County, declared themselves kings and split into small countries. In addition, pirates were rampant along the southern coast, and the mountain roads, sea and land were dangerous, making them easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The Daliang Dynasty had been established for thirty years, but wars continued unabated.
The southern border has always been guarded by the Mu family army.
Countless men and soldiers from three generations of the Mu family died in battle, and this is Mu Junyan's heart knot.
When the emperor ascended the throne, he began to emphasize civil affairs over military affairs. The wealthy and powerful families headed by the Jiang family advocated peace, which increased the pressure from the court on Mu Junyan.
Sometimes even military supplies were not allocated in time.
For this reason, Mu Junyan said nothing and tried to find a solution on his own.
This is also the important reason why Mu Junyan immediately asked for a division of the family after inheriting the title.
He wanted to leave the bloodline of the Mu family.
The old lady was very glad that her son met Gu Huan.
But, I'm afraid of wronging her.
Her son really cares about her.
There are documents to promote the wife and divorce documents, everything is considered.
The old lady wanted to reassure Gu Huan, so she patted her hands and said, "Ziyuan has arranged everything for you. No matter what you want, your future life will be smooth and comfortable. In short, just live the rest of your life in peace and happiness."
Gu Huan felt a pang of pain in her nose when she heard that.
There is a warm feeling of being held in someone's hands and cared for.
Gu Huan suddenly had a feeling.
If he were gone, it would seem that there was no point in her living alone.
Is it possible to save him from dying?
Gu Huan was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so with red eyes, she leaned her head on the old lady's shoulder with a smile.
"Don't worry, mother. Huan'er is your daughter-in-law and your biological daughter. Huan'er has never had a mother's love since she was a child. Now that she has a mother, Huan'er is reluctant to leave you."
The old lady's heart melted.
What a great daughter-in-law.
It would be perfect if I had a grandson.
