The next day, Ji Yu brought Gu Qingqing back home.
Because he had informed Gu's father in advance and explained the reason, Gu's father also expressed his understanding of his approach.
Early in the morning, Gu's father and mother were waiting at the gate of Gu's house with people. But why did they beat gongs and drums and bring a bunch of beautiful maids? Ji Yu didn't understand.
Father Gu kept talking to Ji Yu, and even after they had eaten and drunk their fill, he said he would send Ji Yu two beautiful maids to take care of him.
Ji Yu looked at the two charming women and they didn't look like servants at all.
So he said, "We are leaving for the capital tomorrow, and it will be inconvenient to travel with more people."
How could Gu's father, an old businessman, not hear Ji Yu's euphemistic refusal? He could only smile and reply, "You are such an unlucky son-in-law. These two girls are still young girls! Forget it."
Ji Yu felt uncomfortable all over after the meal. After the meal, he hurriedly took Qingqing back home.
"Just now your father sent someone to me, and you didn't even take the initiative to refuse." In the carriage, Ji Yu's head rested on Gu Qingqing's shoulder, with a hint of grievance in his tone.
"How can I refuse? He is discussing it with you, and I can't get a word in at home." Gu Qingqing felt a little uncomfortable. Indeed, the Gu family taught their children to obey all the orders of the Gu father since childhood.
How could she dare to lose face for her father in front of Ji Yu?
When Ji Yu heard her answer, he didn't know for a moment whether he should put himself in a difficult position first or feel sorry for her.
"I'll be here from now on. You can say whatever you want. If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you disagree, you disagree. No matter if it's your father or my sister, you don't have to put yourself in a difficult position with me here. I will support Qingqing. No one can bully our Qingqing."
The boy's tone was always full of tenderness and doting, which made people feel at ease.
"Hmm..." Qingqing responded with her eyes slightly lowered.
After returning to the Ji family, Wang Shanchuan, who had been out all day, also came back.
"Shanchuan, after selling the gifts and adding the gifts you received, how much silver do you have in total?" Ji Yu asked.
"I took those valuables to the pawn shop to sell them. They didn't lower the price for your sake, Mr. Ji. The gifts were sold for a total of two thousand taels, plus the gift money. Now I have 3,000 taels." Wang Shanchuan answered honestly.
Ji Yu thought that Lin'an Prefecture was indeed full of merchants, and the merchants were so generous. 3,000 taels could buy a two-story courtyard in the capital.
Ji Yu took the silver from Wang Shanchuan and asked, "Shanchuan, I heard from Qingqing about you and Xiaotao. If you are willing, come with us to the capital. You will be my housekeeper and I will pay you a salary every month. Ask Qingqing to return Xiaotao's indenture to her and you can get married."
When Wang Shanchuan heard such good news, he immediately knelt down and replied, "I am willing to follow Master Ji."
Working with Master Ji, walking around Lin'an City, you will be proud! Although Lin'an City is the capital of Lin'an Prefecture, it is not as good as the capital. Besides, Master Ji is a good person.
"It's a deal then. You pack your things in the afternoon and we'll set off tomorrow morning." Ji Yu reminded again.
After dinner at night, they both returned to their room to rest.
In fact, we were just chatting under the quilt.
"Ayu." Gu Qingqing called him softly.
The word "A-Yu" made Ji Yu miss his previous life. After he married Gu Niannian, she also liked to call him A-Yu. In the previous life, only his family would call him A-Yu. After Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji passed away, Gu Niannian was the only one in the world who called him that.
"Can I call you that? A'yu." Seeing that Ji Yu didn't respond to her, Gu Qingqing called out again.
Ji Yu came back to his senses from his memories and replied, "Okay."
Both Gu Niannian and Gu Qingqing are very beautiful. It is undeniable that Gu Qingqing's appearance is more striking. It is easy to be lost in it after just a few more glances.
If Gu Niannian's beauty is vigorous, then Gu Qingqing's beauty is aggressive even if she does nothing or says nothing, but just sits there.
[Host, how can you miss the previous target while chatting with the target? ! You are extremely irresponsible in the task! ! ]
The system's voice sounded in his mind, and Ji Yu came back to his senses.
"Today my mother asked me, we...we..." Gu Qingqing hesitated for a long time and was too embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence.
"What did your mother-in-law say to you today?" Ji Yu called her. She hesitated for a long time, thinking it was something very important.
"Ask us how we are doing in that aspect?" Gu Qingqing hesitated and was indeed feeling shy when bringing up this topic.
Ji Yu was in a daze just now, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while. He asked innocently, "That aspect?"
"In bed." Originally, the two were chatting face to face. After saying this, Gu Qingqing seemed embarrassed and quickly turned over.
Ji Yu thought about it and decided to make things clear with Gu Qingqing. After all, in this era, women would be criticized if they did not give birth to children.
Then he said seriously, "Qingqing, you know it's very painful for a girl the first time."
Gu Qingqing turned sideways and replied, "I know."
"Then do you know that giving birth too early is bad for a woman's health?" Ji Yu said, and then explained, "I also saw it in an ancient medical book. If a woman gives birth too young, her life may be in danger."
"So many people have given birth to children. And we can't not have one either!" Although Gu Qingqing was afraid, she still wanted a child very much. This little baby would be the biggest bond between her and Ji Yu in this life.
Ji Yu hugged the girl from the back, and his warm breath touched her cheek.
Ji Yu's voice was a bit coquettish, "But I don't dare let you take risks. I'm afraid I can't bear the risk of losing you. I can't live without you."
[Ding! Mission target's favorability +5, current favorability is 90. ]
Gu Qingqing's heart trembled. No man would ever tell a woman that he couldn't live without her. In this era, most women depended on men to live, and no man had ever said such a thing to Ji Yu.
"Okay then!" Gu Qingqing finally let out a sigh of relief. After all, he buried his face in her neck and rubbed it around while talking, like a coquettish little puppy. Gu Qingqing said that she really couldn't help it.
"Qingqing is so good. I like you more." Ji Yu started to rub again, his tone was unnaturally soft.
"Then you have to promise me that when I'm a little older, we'll consummate our marriage!" There was no emotion in the girl's voice, but Ji Yu had actually seen her red earlobe that was dripping with blood.
"Okay!" Ji Yu said and kissed her on the cheek, "Rest early, we still have to travel tomorrow! It's tiring along the way."
"Yes..." the girl agreed obediently.
