Gu Yunran opened the box and saw a dazzling array of pearls inside, in all colors and sizes. Her nose felt sore and she muttered, "Brother, you're so busy with military affairs, how can you find the time to look for these pearls?"
"Besides, the northern barbarian land is freezing cold. Even in summer, the temperature is pitifully low. I'm afraid my brother must have suffered a lot in his search for these pearls."
"That's right..." Wei Ming, the servant who had followed Gu Yunyi since childhood, couldn't help but say, but he just opened his mouth, Gu Yunyi glared at him fiercely, and he shut up obediently.
The eldest son really loves the eldest daughter, to the core. For these pearls, the eldest son not only attacked the northern barbarians' lair, but also dug out their only pearl pool.
Even in the freezing weather of minus ten degrees Celsius, they were injured and had to fish the pearls out and take them away.
Gu Yunyi smiled and said, "Brother knows that you have liked these things since you were a child. I have them all in my mind, so it won't be a big deal to find them. You are my sister, so who else can I love if not you?"
He reached out and supported Gu Yunran's head, as if coaxing her like when she was a child.
Finally, he took out a letter of appointment from his pocket and flicked it on Gu Yunran's forehead, "I'll give you another good thing."
"what else?"
"Your sister..." He couldn't bring himself to say the word "husband" so he changed his tone and said, "Lu Qingzhou's appointment letter. When I reported on my work, I specifically requested a real job for him."
When Gu Yunran opened it, he saw that he was a seventh-rank Huaihua Zhonghou. Although the rank was a bit low, it finally fulfilled Lu Qingzhou's wish to become a military general.
Gu Yunran closed the post, and her nose felt sore.
Her brother did not agree with her marriage to Lu Qingzhou at the beginning, and even threatened to sever the sibling relationship, but she still chose Lu Qingzhou willfully.
After getting married, my brother followed my grandfather to join the army in the Northern Barbarians. I haven't seen him for three years, and we haven't even exchanged letters during that time.
Unexpectedly, this time when my brother came back, he not only let go of the past grudges, but also took the initiative to help the annoying Lu Qingzhou. In the final analysis, it was all for her to have a better life in the Lu family.

Tears fell uncontrollably, blurring the words on the post.
"Thank you, brother!"
Now it was no longer useful, and she didn't want to scheme for Lu Qingzhou anymore, so she pushed the post to Gu Yunyi, not knowing how Madam Lu got here.
She smiled and said, "Yun Yi is here. We haven't seen each other for three years. The two of us must have a lot to talk about. You two should have a good chat. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some food. Have lunch before going back."
As Mrs. Lu spoke, she stared at the post in Gu Yunran's hand with envy, because that was Qing Zhou's post for taking office.
She walked to Gu Yunran's side, grabbed Gu Yunran's hand with concern, and said in a caring tone: "Oh, girl, your hands are so cold. If you feel unwell, you should wear more clothes."
As she spoke, she scolded Zhuye: "How do you take care of the lady?"
Zhuye lowered his head and pursed his lips.
This old lady is so hypocritical and disgusting. Just now, when the maid asked her to entertain the eldest young master, she was not happy and wanted to kick her out.
I heard that the eldest son had found a real job for her son, and she smiled so hard that her mouth reached her ears.
As she spoke, Madam Lu took off her cloak and put it on Gu Yunran, "Put it on to keep warm."
Gu Yunran wanted to push him away, but Old Man Lu grabbed her hand, smiled and whispered, "Your brother is here, don't let me get angry, it will make everyone look bad."
While she was putting the cape on Gu Yunran, she took the post that Gu Yunran had placed on the table, opened it and took a look. She pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh, is this Qing Zhou's appointment letter?"
She was overjoyed and kept expressing her gratitude to Gu Yunyi. She also said that the Lu Mansion would hold a celebration banquet in three days and asked Gu Yunyi to come.
Gu Yunyi looked at Gu Yunran, who nodded. "I'll have to trouble my brother, father, and colleagues to come and celebrate with the Lu family."
She emphasized the word "celebration". Gu Yunyi's eyebrows jumped, but he still responded without changing his expression.
When the maid said it was time for dinner, Gu Yunyi found an excuse and hurried back.
Madam Lu personally escorted him to the door and couldn't help but complain, "Yun Ran, why don't you persuade your brother? Since you're here, why don't you wait for Qing Zhou to come back from his shift and have lunch before leaving?"
"If you leave in such a hurry, someone who doesn't know would think that our Lu family has treated our brother-in-law unfairly."
Old Madam Lu mainly wanted Lu Qingzhou to take this opportunity to get closer to his brother-in-law and build their relationship. With his brother-in-law's help, his life would be smoother.
Gu Yunran seemed not to have heard it. After seeing her brother off, she turned around and went back to Fang Xingyuan, leaving Madam Lu in the wind.
"Oh! You've got a bad temper!" Old Madam Lu snorted coldly, but she didn't bother with her because Gu Yunyi had found a good job for Lu Qingzhou.
"Madam, are you really going to let the Fourth Master take the position of Huaihua Zhonghou?"
On the way back to Fang Xingyuan, Zhuye couldn't help but ask.
"The appointment letter has already been issued, and I can't stop it."
Zhuye was indignant: "No one in the Lu family has a conscience. They treat you like this, and the eldest son is trying to help the fourth master. Madam, are you willing to accept this?"
Taohua smiled and said, "Zhuye, don't worry, Madam has her own plans."
Zhuye was puzzled: "If Madam had any intention, she should have given the appointment letter to the eldest son and asked him to take it back to the emperor."
Taohua reached out and tapped her forehead: "You are just too naive. You have been following Madam for so many years in vain."
"Madam, what you mean is that the Lu family should be happy for a few days. They have done so many scandals. If they were to be exposed on the day of the banquet, it would cause a huge uproar in the city. Would the Emperor still let him serve?"
