Chapter 185 Xie Huaiguang's Gift
After saying that, he turned around and walked out: "I'm very busy, I'm leaving now."
"Brother Xuan!"
Zou ran after him and cried, "Are you leaving today? Are you in such a hurry? You didn't even come back when your sister was engaged, and now you're back and you're leaving without even a sip of tea?"
Gu Zixuan's eyes were firm: "It has been delayed for a long time, grandma, you take good care of the family."
After saying that, Gu Zixuan also left.
He could have come back to sit for a while, eat and drink something before leaving, but Gu Changqing messed it up.
Fortunately, Gu Sui Yu had already packed up his eldest brother's things, and asked the maid to carry them and chase after him.
As for Gu Changqing, he naturally couldn't have a good conversation with Su Jin.
Everyone has a kind of obsession. The more something cannot be obtained or realized, the more he misses it. The more he cannot talk to Su Jin alone, the more he wants to find another opportunity to talk it out. The more people leave, the more he wants them to come back.
As for the affairs in the mansion, Gu Changqing still didn't care.
Once the door of the study was closed, Gu Changqing wanted to have some peace and quiet. However, since the Grand Princess had sent these things, someone had to tell them where to put them and how to pack them up, right?
However, Gu Changqing didn't care. Zou was getting older and more and more powerless. When she was exhausted, Gu Suiyu said, "Grandma, let me do it."
Anyway, she is in charge of many things in the mansion now.
The old lady nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, you, you come..."
Butler Sui Yu did a good job. After Zou looked at the accounts and found them clean and with beautiful handwriting, she felt relieved and let Sui Yu take over the entire mansion.
Halfway through her words, Zou suddenly started coughing violently, then her eyes became blurry and she passed out.

On the other hand, before leaving Beijing, Gu Zixuan went to one last place, which was Su Jin's current residence.
He is going to the northwest.
All the reluctance before leaving was for one person only, and that was my mother.
"Mother."
The young man was dressed in armor and looked full of righteousness. Su Jin only took a glance at him and was blinded by the dazzling brilliance of the armor and looked away.
"Are you leaving?"
Su Jin also heard about it.
Isn’t it for the war in the northwest that the emperor has increased the special examination?
Now the imperial examination, the announcement of the results, the banquet of honor and so on, have already delayed a lot of time. The northwest must have been blocked by heavy snow now, right?
"Yes, General Liu meant to march in winter and fight once the weather warms up. Besides, it will take time to march there."
Su Bingzhi could rush to the capital in three days on horseback, but the army could not. They would have to walk for some time. Although the wind and snow were strong in winter, if they could reach the border before the twelfth lunar month and meet up with General He Bi's troops as soon as possible, they would have more time for preparation.
Su Jin nodded.
"Before I leave, I just want to say goodbye to my mother."
There was some reluctance in Gu Zixuan's eyes.
"Mother, father is still upset about the divorce, and he will surely come to harass mother again. But I have discussed it with my fifth brother, and he will come to protect mother. In addition, grandmother is in poor health. Although Lin Wanhui is locked up, she still covets the position of mistress. If grandmother falls, Lin Wanhui will definitely take action. I am not worried about anything in the capital, but I am worried that these two people will come to cause trouble for mother again..."
Gu Zixuan talked about things one by one.
It can be seen that the young man is indeed worried about her. Although he is wearing cold armor and looks sharp and murderous, he can't hide the worry in his eyes. He looks at her with clear and transparent gaze, as if he is looking at a ball of water.
"Don't worry, they can't do anything to me."
Su Jin smiled and raised her hand to touch Gu Zixuan's armor. The weather had turned cold, and the armor was stained with the cool air. It was icy and hard to the touch.
"My son, you must be extremely careful when you go there."
Su Jin explained word by word: "First, think twice before you act. Even if there seems to be no flaw, you should think about why it is so. Remember the principle of all is fair in war. Second, Liu Cong is not on good terms with your grandfather and may cause trouble for you. Be careful in dealing with it. After all, face is useless no matter who gives it to you. You have to earn it yourself. The same goes for military merit. Third..."
Su Jin lowered her head and whispered in her ear. As she listened, Gu Zixuan's eyes lit up and he looked towards Su Jin suddenly.
"Mother!"
"Shh!"
Su Jin smiled and said, "Go ahead. Mother will be waiting for you to return victoriously."
Gu Zixuan wanted to join the army? She wouldn't stop him.
Isn't it dangerous to be a soldier? Of course it is dangerous.
Su Jin knew the cruelty of war, especially war in the era of cold weapons.
When a war can only be fought in hand-to-hand combat, the reality you face is unprecedentedly cruel. Everything has to be filled by people. At that time, human life is no longer a human life, but an insignificant part in the war machine.
But, the same thing, if Gu Zixuan wanted to go, she wouldn't stop him.
There are many paths in life. Who says that you have to take the comfortable path?
No one can plan for other people's lives, and Gu Zixuan is already sixteen years old, which is still young in modern times, but this is ancient times. Sixteen-year-old Gu Zixuan is an official. He is already a mature adult and can decide which path to take.
Serving in the army and fighting in wars are places where dangers and opportunities coexist. If possible, she hopes that her son will return with glory.
The young man in front of him also smiled. Gu Zixuan was handsome to begin with, and this smile made Su Jin feel as if she was back to the time when she first came here and saw Gu Zixuan for the first time.
At that time, Gu Zixuan ran away from home, and his face still had the innocence and immaturity of a teenager. However, at some point in time, the boy grew up and became the heroic and cheerful young man he is today.
"Well, when I become a high-ranking official, I will ask for a royal decree for mother. Then, mother will become the most glorious mother in the entire capital!"
Gu Zixuan laughed heartily, and then he finally stood up, picked up the silver gun behind the door, straightened his back, and walked out neatly and efficiently.
The door opened, and the autumn wind mixed with coldness blew in. The young man walked away calmly, jumped on his horse, and rode quickly and skillfully. His scarlet cloak looked like it was soaked in blood, emitting a dazzling bright red color.
I looked at my sword by lamplight while drunk and dreamed of blowing the horn in the camp.
The roasted meat is distributed to the subordinates over a distance of eight hundred miles, fifty strings play the music from beyond the frontier, and the soldiers are inspected in the autumn battlefield.
Su Jin did not go out, nor did she see him off. She was a soft-hearted person and could not bear to see separation, especially a separation in which the life or death was uncertain.
But she believed that with Gu Zixuan's ability, death should be impossible.
"You will definitely return safely."
I don't know how long it took, but it was completely dark outside when Yuchuan sent a letter: "Miss, thank you for sending the gifts."
Xie Huiguang?
Su Jin was stunned for a moment: "Where are the people?"
"He left after delivering the things. Maybe he didn't want outsiders to misunderstand him."
It is against the rules for a single man to visit a divorced woman's home.
Su Jin didn't say anything, but took the letter and looked at the thing on the ground.
The thing was square and covered with a red cloth so you couldn't see what was underneath. Su Jin pulled off the red cloth and finally saw what was inside.
