"Brother Peng, you've come at this hour, is there something wrong with the children?" Grandpa Gu asked.
Now his eldest son is in Jinan Kingdom, his second son is in Shennv Kingdom, and his eldest granddaughter is also in Shennv Kingdom. All three of his future sons-in-law are on the battlefield. You can imagine how nervous Grandpa Gu is every time he sees General Peng come to visit.
"Hahaha, brother, don't be so nervous. Come on, let's go inside and talk. I haven't been to your house for dinner in a long time. I have good news!" General Peng put his arm around Grandpa Gu, and the two brothers went inside.
Grandma Gu also invited Grandma Xiao to have dinner together.
With Lu Zheng not around, Grandma Xiao was all alone. As long as she didn't go to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs or forget the time when preparing medicine, Grandma Xiao usually ate at the Gu family's house.
The meal was ready, but Gu Nian, Gu Yingxue, and Huo Yanyu hadn't returned yet, so they waited for them.
Because General Peng San and Gu Qingyuan went to the Sand God Kingdom, Peng Yizhu and Gu Yingxue stayed in Kuncheng.
Peng Yizhu has been helping to manage the restaurant recently. She is thinking that she will open one in Linzhou. The Gu family insists on leaving her a share of the profits, so she might as well expand the restaurant. She is also learning about the business model during this time, which will make things easier when she arrives in Linzhou.
As for Gu Yingxue, she followed Gu Nian around like a shadow, going wherever Gu Nian went. She ate at the Gu family home every day and bullied Gu Ren along the way, only returning to the Peng family home to sleep at night.
Having arrived in ancient times, there was no need to study or take exams; one could learn whatever one wanted. Gu Yingxue was overjoyed, and the smile on her face never faded.
General Peng and Grandma Xiao were not outsiders, so when they arrived, they didn't start eating but continued to wait.
General Peng then followed Grandpa Gu to the study.
"Brother, you have no idea how powerful your boss is!" General Peng said as he sat down.
"What has the eldest brother been up to in Jinan?" Having already heard that it was good news, Grandpa Gu was no longer nervous and even had the mood to pour tea for General Peng.
"He directly persuaded the King of Jinnan, and the King of Jinnan is willing to become a part of the Great Zhou, just like the Southern Frontier!" General Peng said with a happy face. "Hahaha, Erlang said that the kid got tricked. The three of them are clearly lazy and like to play around, but this matter fell on that kid. Prince Kang and Duke Chengen have no intention of competing for credit, and they don't even want to return to the capital."
Grandpa Gu twitched his lips.
Prince Kang's personality is all about self-preservation. Luckily, they are blood relatives. The Gu family has no daughters, so they should marry into Prince Kang's household.
The Duke of Cheng'en...
Fortunately, Xue Xiaoer is a mature and steady young man, and he also considers himself a shrewd and capable person.
Thinking about it, Grandpa Gu thought of his eldest son. He had two sons, and Enzi and Renren had to stay calm and not follow their father's example!
"The Empress Dowager and the Emperor are just looking for a pretext to compensate your family! This Jin Nan Kingdom is a good pretext. That Prince Kang seems unreliable, but he's actually more shrewd than anyone else! Of course, he does love to play around," said General Peng.
Grandpa Gu stroked his beard but said nothing.
It's good that the eldest son went back to the capital. He could visit his grandmother, who had reunited with her family. As a result, apart from the third son who was in the capital, the rest of the family came to Kuncheng. Grandpa Gu still felt quite uneasy.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
