On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Xin dressed up early in the morning, wearing a beautiful women's outfit, and slipped out alone to wait at the east gate.
Everyone in Kuncheng knows that Peng's army, which won a battle in the southern border region and held out for several months, is coming back. It's just a matter of the next few days.
Gu Xin learned from General Peng that Lu Zheng's army would arrive in Kuncheng today. Yesterday, Peng Chi, who escorted the Southern Xinjiang King and Princess to the capital, returned. She went to ask for news, but instead of seeing Peng Chi, she heard General Peng talking about it with Old General Peng.
Last night she agonized for a long time over what to wear today. She didn't tell her family. After finishing her daily practice early this morning, she got ready and came over.
"Big brother, big brother, General Zhou and the others haven't arrived yet, have they?" Gu Xin waited for a while before going to chat with the guards at the city gate.
"You are... Miss Gu San?" The guard almost didn't recognize her.
Gu Xin will be fourteen in a little over a month, and she has grown up. Suddenly, she put on women's clothes, no longer wore her hair in double buns, and dressed in a beautiful outfit, which is truly amazing.
“Yes! Don’t we always greet each other? How come you don’t recognize me? I remember you all,” Gu Xin said with a smile.
When she smiles, her eyes crinkle, giving her a very approachable and friendly demeanor that instantly puts people in a good mood.
"The Third Miss usually dresses like a young master, but now suddenly..." The guard scratched his head and lowered his head in embarrassment. Such a beautiful girl, and the daughter of the county magistrate, it was too impolite of him to stare at her!
"Haha, I'm pretty, aren't I! I knew I was pretty; I used to be the prettiest girl in our village," Gu Xin said cheerfully. "By the way, have General Zhou and the others passed by yet?"
"Third Miss Gu!" Just then, Peng Chi arrived and was truly impressed by Gu Xin.
The last time he saw Gu Xin dressed as a woman was during the Chinese New Year last year. Back then, she was just a cute little girl. How did she suddenly become so beautiful in just one year?
"Brother Peng, what brings you here? I thought you came from the capital to rest for a while!" Gu Xin had a good impression of the Peng family. Putting aside everything else, the fact that they had raised Xiao Yu for more than two years was enough to make her like them.
"I came to see if Zhou Yuan and the others have arrived yet," Peng Chi said.
“I’m also waiting for my brother Yuanyuan! I haven’t seen him in so long! Brother Peng, now that Brother Yuanyuan is back, he won’t be going out again, right? He’ll be training in the North Camp from now on, right?” Gu Xin asked again.
Looking into her beautiful eyes, Peng Chi felt his heart race, just like he had been drilled on the training ground by his father and his third and fourth uncles.
What question did she ask? Oh no, am I deaf? I didn't hear her at all!
How could her face be right in front of me? How could she have such bright and beautiful eyes, just like the stars in the sky? Oh right, she is Xin Xin.
"Brother Peng?" Gu Xin waved her hand in front of Peng Chi's eyes, puzzled. Why did he seem to be in a daze?
Gu Xin didn't understand at first, but the soldiers guarding the city understood perfectly.
General Chi has finally seen the light!
Tsk tsk, following General Ze's engagement, another member of the Peng family's sons has come to their senses. What a joyous occasion!
"Miss Gu, General Zhou and the others have arrived!" someone called out to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin couldn't care less about Peng Ze anymore. She turned to look outside the city gate. On the official road ahead, the person riding a tall horse and wearing armor was none other than her Yuan Yuan brother.
