After returning home, the girls sat in the courtyard admiring the moon and talked about Peng Ze and Gu Hui.
Princess Jinghe spoke first: "Sister Hui, I've already had Qian Liangduo memorize those two scenes from just now—the moment you forcibly took the general's property and the moment he killed you in retaliation. Don't worry, he'll definitely paint them and send them to you when you get married!"
Gu Hui: "...Well, you really went to a lot of trouble!"
Princess Jinghe cupped her hands in greeting: "Of course, of course!"
Gu Nian chimed in, "I've decided to write a storybook called 'The Pretty Farm Girl's Conquest of the Great General - Day 222'! A tribute to our eldest sister and brother-in-law's love story!"
Gu Hui: "...What does 222 days mean?"
Gu Nian: "Big sister, from the first time you met General Ze until now, haven't you been two hundred and twenty-two?"
Huo Yanyu nodded in agreement: "That's right. I just calculated it. It has been 222 days since Sister Hui first peeked at Brother Hui's husband."
Princess Jinghe: "Pfft! You two are truly brilliant; you managed to remember this!"
Gu Si: "Second sister, what does 'strategy guide' mean?"
Gu Xin: "I know, I know. Conquering cities and seizing territories. From the first time my eldest sister saw General Ze, she took a liking to him. Then she started attacking his cities and seizing his land. My eldest sister has already broken through General Ze's defenses, and she has already taken up residence in his heart. Tsk tsk tsk, eldest sister, you are really amazing!"
Gu Hui smiled calmly: "It's alright!"
Gu Hui really wanted to tell her sisters, "When I saw him walking towards me and taking off his underwear, I knew right away that this man was mine."
If you see something you like, go for it; express your intentions directly.
The girls admire Gu Hui a lot. Now even the youngest, Gu Si, understands that her sister had her eye on him from the very beginning. Her future brother-in-law is really walking into the trap her sister set for him step by step!
First, openly watching someone change clothes, as if you've done something wrong and are going to punish me by making me obey, without any attempt to hide your gaze, makes people wary, wondering if this brat has feelings for me.
Then, during training, they're all so serious. When you're doing something important, who has time to date? It makes you wonder if you were just imagining things from a few days ago.
Then, during breaks, he'd casually flirt with someone, making them feel all tingly and eager; that's bound to be remembered.
Then, I'll handle things strictly by the book. Someone as upright as me wouldn't have personal feelings for someone else! It would only make people anxious and insecure.
In the final step, the Old Man of the Moon ties the red thread, Heaven gives you a chance, stamps it as a mark, saves your life, you can't run away now, you're mine from now on.
Peng Ze walked step by step along the path Gu Hui had laid out for him, completely unaware, his mind only thinking, "Oh, this brat has two faces, how interesting!"
Little did they know, he had already successfully piqued Sister Hui's interest at their very first meeting.
...
On August 16th, Cai Xiaolian got up very early. She had just finished her postpartum confinement the day before and wanted to get out of her room early to breathe some fresh air.
"Second Aunt, good morning!" Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe had already changed into their camp clothes and met Cai Xiaolian as soon as they went out.
"Good morning! Breakfast is ready in the kitchen, go and eat! The weather is getting colder, remember to wipe your sweat right after training, don't take a shower right away," Cai Xiaolian said.
"Okay, Second Aunt. You should wear more clothes too!" Gu Hui nodded.
"Second Aunt, let's go!" Princess Jinghe said.
"Mm." Cai Xiaolian nodded.
