Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Xinglang and blinked his eyes, then reached into the quilt. Xiao Xiao Gu showed no intention of looking up, so Yu Xiaoxiao sighed. She said, this guy is blaming himself that all his comrades had died, leaving him alone alive. In such a mood, how could he possibly have thoughts of love?
Gu Xinglang whispered: "Let me hug you..."
"Hold me," Yu Xiaoxiao yawned and said, "It's the sky couch. Let's sleep for a while and talk about it after we wake up."
"Yeah," Gu Xinglang responded to Yu Xiaoxiao softly and hugged Yu Xiaoxiao tightly.
The red candle in the room burned out, the sky outside the window gradually brightened, and a night passed just like that.
The young couple who were sleeping in each other's arms were awakened by Nanny Wang's loud voice. When Nanny Wang told them that the master and the second young master Gu were about to leave Beijing for Wangxiang Pass, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately jumped out of bed and urged Gu Xinglang, "Little Gu, get up quickly. We have to see Grandpa and the second brother off."
In the main hall of the Gu Mansion, the master and Gu Xingyan were both in military uniforms. The old lady, Madam Xu, Gu Xingnuo's family of four, and Madam Lin holding Gu Xu had all arrived.
The old lady looked outside the main hall and whispered, "Does Xinglang not know that his grandfather and second brother are leaving today?"
Gu Xingyan said nonchalantly: "Grandma, Xinglang was injured yesterday, so it doesn't matter if you don't come to see me off."
The old lady glanced at Gu Xingnuo's hanging left arm and said, "Isn't his elder brother also injured?"
"Grandma," Gu Xingnuo said, "Madame Wang has already sent someone to say that Xinglang and the princess will be here soon."
The old lady had a gloomy face and muttered, "It's unlucky to miss the time of departure!"
Madam Lin said, "Grandma, his uncle and the princess are still young, so it's okay for them to sleep a little longer."
When the old lady heard what Mrs. Lin said, she disliked Yu Xiaoxiao even more. Before getting married, was her little grandson a sleepy person? Is there a virtuous wife who clings to her husband all day long? Knowing that her little grandson was injured and not in good health, didn't this princess pester her little grandson to sleep last night? "Go and urge him again," the old lady thought of Yu Xiaoxiao, and her tone became worse, saying, "How long do they want us to wait?"
"Well," the master said now.
The butler bowed and waited for the order, and then stood still again after seeing that the master had spoken.
The old lady said, "Is this too much to say?"
The master said, "Just be at peace, and let me go in peace, as well. A harmonious family brings prosperity."
The old lady was angry and was about to speak when Yu Xiaoxiao called out Grandpa. Then her second brother ran in from outside the hall. The princess stood in front of the old man, pulled his hand, and said, "Grandpa, I'm sorry. Xiao Gu and I overslept."
The master smiled, patted Yu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "It's not too late."
Gu Xinglang was sitting on a recliner, carried into the main hall by two servants. Mr. Gu had specially worn a high-collared coat today to cover the fingerprints on his neck.
Gu Xingnuo first looked at his younger brother's eyes, and when he saw that Gu Xinglang's eyes were clear, he shifted his gaze and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao said to the old man at this time: "Grandpa, you have to be careful. When Xiao Gu's foot injury is healed, Xiao Gu and I will go to Wangxiangguan to see you and the second brother. Well, if there is a war, Xiao Gu and I will help you fight."
Before the old master could speak, Second Young Master Gu smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, if there is no war at the border, I will take you out to hunt."
"Out of the customs?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked immediately: "Are there any fat rabbits?"
The second young master Gu..., and his brother and sister-in-law haven't forgotten about the fat rabbit yet?
The old lady then interjected, "Princess, do you still hope for a war at the border?"
"Hmm?" Yu Xiaoxiao looked at the old lady and said, "I mean if."
The old lady said, "Princess, you can't expect such a thing! People should think more about good things."
When the old lady said this, the faces of the Gu family members all turned ugly. The old lady was scolding the princess for being warmongering and not a good person.
"Grandma," Gu Xinglang looked at the old lady and called out.
The old lady looked at Gu Xinglang. She wanted to see how her little grandson would protect Yu Xiaoxiao.
"You..." The master looked at his old wife. He was about to go on a long journey, and in front of the younger generations, the master really didn't want to say anything harsh to the old lady at this time.
Yu Xiaoxiao was the only person in the main hall who didn't understand what the old lady meant. Seeing the old lady laugh, Yu Xiao said, "Grandma, don't be afraid. With me here, what battle can't we win?"
The old lady stared at Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "I'm not afraid."
"Oh, I'm not afraid," Yu Xiao said, "That's even better. When Xiao Gu recovers, you can go to Wangxiang Pass with us. By the way, grandma, do you also know martial arts?"
The old lady's face turned pale with anger. Who doesn't know that she was born into a scholarly family? "How could the daughter of the Ruan family practice martial arts?" The old lady asked Yu Xiao.
Even Gu Xingyan couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with women practicing martial arts?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at her own Xiao Gu and said, "Ruan family? Aren't we talking about your business, grandma? What does this have to do with the Ruan family? I know there is a family surname, but I'm not familiar with it. Is there anyone with the surname Ruan? How can there be such a spineless surname?"
Gu family...
Mrs. Lin felt that compared to Princess Linglong, she was not as vicious. No wonder Concubine Zhao and Prime Minister Zhao fell into her hands. The old lady's maiden name was Ruan. How could she not know that the princess married into the Gu family? Pretending not to know at this moment was nothing more than telling the old lady that a royal princess could give you face if she wanted to, and not if she didn't want to. Ruan Jianian was from a scholarly family, but she was weak and spineless. Mrs. Lin almost worshipped Yu Xiaoxiao. Scholars valued integrity the most. Would the slap in the face by the princess this time make the old lady angry to death?
"You," the old lady pointed at Yu Xiaoxiao and trembled.
Yu Xiaoxiao felt that the old lady was wrong. Thinking about what she had just said, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked Gu Xinglang: "Is there really someone with the surname Ruan?"
Gu Xinglang knew that his wife could not act and was not disrespectful to the elderly, but could it be that his wife really did not do this on purpose?
Young Master Gu was a carefree person. He laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you can't make such jokes. My grandmother's last name is Ruan."
Yu Xiaoxiao was embarrassed. No one had ever told her that her surname was Ruan. Is there such a surname in her family? Don't bully her for not having enough education!
The master glanced at the old lady, and his eyes seemed to say, "Is it fun to fight with the princess?"
"I'm sorry," Yu Xiaoxiao apologized to the old lady sincerely, saying, "Grandma, the last name Soft is also good. It sounds very gentle, very tender, and very..." Yu Xiaoxiao thought, what else can I say to be nice? Can Soft be associated with eternal youth?
