Just as dawn was breaking, Cai Xiaolian took a stroll and then went back inside.
Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe, carrying steamed buns, walked to the entrance of the yamen and saw someone waiting there; it was Peng Ze's attendant.
"Greetings, Miss Gu and Miss Ye!" The attendant greeted the two women.
"You didn't leave with your general?" Gu Hui asked.
"Miss Gu, the general instructed me to deliver something to you. He departed at dawn, so I will be there in two days." The attendant handed over a purse.
Gu Hui took the purse with the hand that wasn't holding the bun. Hey, someone actually gave her something! How strange!
“Miss Gu, the general asked me to pass on a message to you. The item in this purse is a jade pendant that all the sons of the Peng family possess. It was made from a single piece of jade that the old master bought from Jin Nan Kingdom as a gift for his future granddaughter-in-law. The general said, ‘Thank you, Miss Gu, for making him, the eldest son, feel that he was the first to present this jade pendant!’” the attendant said with a smile.
"Oh, I understand. Thanks a lot! When you go over there in a couple of days and see him, please give him a message for me. Tell him that I'll keep him for now, and that he should come back as soon as possible. I like to help people out of trouble." Gu Hui nodded.
The attendant was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of these words, but he nodded in agreement and left.
Princess Jinghe looked on with amusement: "Tsk tsk tsk, that's why it's better to be older. Look, Peng Ze came and immediately gave you the jade pendant that symbolizes his wife! And look at those two idiots, Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu. Let's not talk about Lu Zheng, Xin Xin is still young. As for Xue Qianyu, he should learn from General Ze and just pin Niannian against the wall and ask her, 'Woman, will you submit or not?' Hahahaha..."
Gu Hui: "..."
She was willing to bet that if Xue Qianyu dared to do that, Gu Nian would dare to directly slap him.
The two chatted and laughed as they headed towards the camp.
After the morning training, Madam Peng came over to talk to Gu Hui. However, she caught a glimpse of her son's purse, which contained a keepsake. Well, she stopped talking and hurried home to tell the old man.
General Peng had just finished breakfast and was planning to go to the Gu family's place when he saw Madam Peng return. He was puzzled, as his eldest daughter-in-law should be at the camp at this time.
Madam Peng: "Father, there's hope! Aze and Hui'er are getting along well!..."
Then he mentioned seeing something bearing the mark of their Peng family's granddaughter-in-law at Gu Hui's place.
General Peng was overjoyed: "Really? Aze has finally figured it out! He's already sent everything out?"
Madam Peng nodded: "Father, what do you think? Should my husband and I go together? It just so happens that Hui'er's parents are home too. It would be great if we could get it settled quickly."
General Peng calmed down and said, "Alright! Go and call the eldest son and his fourth wife as well. I'll have someone prepare some more gifts."
Madam Peng happily went to find her younger brother and sister-in-law, and then sent someone to the North Camp to summon General Peng.
Fifteen minutes later, the Peng family's carriage arrived at the Gu family's residence.
Uncle Gu was just about to go out when he saw this scene: "Wow, old man, don't we usually walk to and from home? Why are we using a horse-drawn carriage today? To be honest, I always thought your horses were for riding, and I never thought they could be used to carry people!"
The four members of the Peng family: "..."
General Peng: "Uncle, are you going to the fields? You have important business to attend to today. Don't go. Let's go back and talk."
