Peng Erlang, who was preparing to accompany Uncle Gu and his group to the capital, had no idea that he had been compared to his younger brother by a group of girls, and had won the comparison, as well as the heart of his cousin.
Of course, winning her heart isn't the end of the story; it just means he's about to get married, as a girl has set her sights on him.
He was listening to Uncle Gu rambling on about all the work he had fallen behind on in Chunnan City and what he hadn't yet accomplished.
After listening for a long time, Peng Erlang understood that Uncle Gu wanted to take some things to the capital to make money.
He couldn't help but wonder, if the Gu family made so much money, why was Uncle Gu still so obsessed with money?
He didn't ask the question. If he had, Uncle Gu would definitely have told him: "Kid, you're not a father yet, you don't have a daughter. When you become a father, and your daughter gets married, the things your brothers bring will all be better than yours, then you'll understand."
You have no idea how hard it is to be a father!
Indeed, Uncle Gu was very good at comforting himself. In just one day, he successfully convinced himself that he could go to the capital to sell things and earn money to add to Gu Hui's dowry.
What should we sell?
He planned to sell the dried sweet potatoes and various dried fruits that could be stored, and also planned to sell some of the jade he won from Jin Nanwang to make money for Huihui as a dowry, and give the rest to Huihui as a dowry.
Peng Erlang understood what Uncle Gu meant, so he said, "Uncle Gu, I'll send someone to Chunnan City to find Lord Huo and collect everything you mentioned, then send it to the capital by fast horse. Once we get there, you can start selling it right away?"
Uncle Gu's eyes lit up: "Good lad, no need to wait until we get there to sell it. Have someone send it to my third sister. She's some kind of princess, and my brother-in-law is from the Hanlin Academy, named Guo Yang. Have my third sister handle it for me. Never mind, I'd better write a letter to Little Mouse. It's hard to explain all at once!"
Uncle Gu happily went to write the letter.
Peng Erlang sighed, rubbing his forehead. "You weren't this enthusiastic when we talked about writing a memorial to the Emperor this morning."
...
Time flies, and it's already the end of April.
The civil war in the Goddess Kingdom has reached a critical moment. Madam Peng's original plan was very successful. Gu Hui and the others have successfully persuaded several opportunists. Yan Mo has suffered repeated defeats. Queen Dugu has not only regained several cities, but has also driven Yan Mo and the Tenth Princess to the brink of despair.
Yan Mo's complexion hasn't been good lately.
He couldn't understand when things had started to go wrong, after all these years of smooth sailing.
From the moment Gu Nian appeared!
After Gu Nian recognized Mei Renjiao, his plans seemed to succeed every time, but in the end, they all failed.
Is Gu Jia his nemesis?
Looking at the exhausted and listless Tenth Princess beside him, Yan Mo made a tough decision. There was only one way to escape from the Goddess Kingdom now, but he didn't know if he could succeed.
The tenth princess noticed something was wrong with Yan Mo's eyes and asked somewhat frightenedly, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Yan Mo shook his head and took out a pill from his pocket: "Xiang'er, this is a reminder. It's the last one. Take it! I'll take you away from the Goddess Kingdom. You need to be energetic on the way, otherwise, neither of us will be able to make it."
The tenth princess nodded: "Alright, husband, don't worry, Xiang'er will definitely not be a burden to you. Thank you, husband, for being willing to take Xiang'er away."
After saying that, she took the pill and swallowed it.
She may have forgotten that Yan Mo is from the Southern Frontier. How could you casually take the pills he gave you?
