Chapter 414 Happy Birthday
"Miss Gu's words may seem heartless and unforgiving, but in fact, they just expose her own weakness."
Situ Mingji was a little confused and couldn't help but look over.
Jiang Mingwan did not elaborate further, but took her away from Gu Jingchun's house and got on the carriage before continuing:
"Gu Jingchun seemed to have rejected us forcefully, but in fact, it also indirectly showed how deeply she loves His Majesty.
Just like lovers in love, they love each other so much that they cannot bear to part with each other and cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in their eyes.
“And often dealing with this situation is much simpler.
Because they can't tolerate even a little bit of sand, so if even a little bit of gravel gets in, they will quarrel to the point of collapse.
Arguments can make them feel hurt, aggrieved, and irritable, and this is the perfect time to take advantage of their situation.”
After Jiang Mingwan finished speaking, Situ Mingji also nodded.
"Sister, you know more. So, according to your sister, what should we do next?"
Jiang Mingwan smiled.
"Next, of course, there's no need for us to take action."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Situ Mingji's ear and whispered a few words. Situ Mingji's expression paused, his thin lips curled up, and then he nodded proudly.
At this time, Gu Jingchun learned the news that Jiang Mingwan and Situ Mingji had left, and he snorted coldly.
"Tell Chen Hechuan everything we said today. Remember, not a single word should be left out."
Lan Xin nodded, looked at Gu Jingchun's obviously unfriendly expression, and immediately gave the order.
After returning, Lan Xin looked at Gu Jingchun's expression and couldn't help but persuade her: "Miss, there's no need to be angry. I believe His Majesty will never let them into the palace."
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"I'm not angry, I'm just... a little upset to find out that my man is being coveted."
"I was just thinking about how to prevent my man from being coveted, but he is in a high enough position now, so I don't seem to have any solution.
unless……"
Gu Jingchun paused here.
“Unless, my status is high enough.”
When Gu Jingchun thought of this, an idea began to stir in his mind.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
Tiandu City was peaceful, just like the calm before the storm.
The atmosphere is like a storm is coming, which makes people feel uneasy.
And at this time at the city gate.
The soldiers standing on the city gate to guard the city saw from afar a group of people on horseback, holding long flags in their hands, running towards them quickly.
When the soldiers saw this, they hurried to inform the general guarding the city.
The general hurried over, his eyes fixed on the group of people in the distance.
Judging from their team, there should be about a hundred people. The general guarding the city did not dare to hesitate. Just as he was about to order the soldiers to guard the city gate, he saw the man in the distance suddenly hold up a shining sign.
The general saw it from a distance and was shocked.
Then look at the face of the man in the lead.
If this isn't Gu Erli, then who is it?
This time, Gu Erli led an army of 100,000 and caused a huge storm on the border, which also made the court uneasy.
But within a few days, Gu Erli managed to force Da Qi to withdraw without losing a single soldier, which instantly boosted the morale of our Dacheng soldiers.
It also made the people cheer.
For this, Shen Hechuan even sent an imperial edict to commend him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Erli came back so soon, and with such a big fanfare.
When the general saw this, he did not bother to close the city gates, but instead ordered his soldiers to evacuate the civilians, fearing that the war horses would run too fast and hurt the civilians.
When Gu Erli and his men arrived at the city gate, everyone slowed down and entered the city slowly.
When the people saw the long line of soldiers behind Gu Erli, they couldn't help but stand on both sides and look at him with envy.
They all held up their flags and shouted loudly the moment they entered the city.
"Congratulations to my sister Gu Jingchun on her birthday!"
"Congratulations to my sister Gu Jingchun on her birthday!"
And looking at their flags, there was nothing else written on them but the words "Happy birthday to Gu Jingchun".
The noise was so loud that all the people passing by were attracted. They started whispering to each other and asked who Gu Jingchun was.
Through the spread of various news, it soon became known that Gu Jingchun was the owner of Tianjing Trading Company.
When Qi County was suffering from a severe drought, there were kind-hearted people who bought 10,000 tons of grain out of their own pockets to provide porridge to the people.
He was also the hero who designed a crossbow that could fire three arrows in a row and successfully won the Da Qi weapon in a competition between the two countries.
She is also the mother of the current crown prince and the future empress.
As the news spread one by one, the people who originally didn't know Gu Jingchun began to sigh in admiration for her and admire her sincerely.
But Gu Erli shouted again at this time.
"Today is my sister Gu Jingchun's birthday. To celebrate her birthday, this general has decided to distribute wealth and porridge. Today, I will distribute porridge at the gate of my sister's house."
As he spoke, Gu Erli raised his long sleeves and countless copper coins flew out.
Suddenly, the people no longer cared about watching the fun, and they all squatted down and started picking up the money.
This news soon reached Gu Jingchun's ears.
When she heard the news, she ran out immediately and found that someone was giving out porridge at her door.
And I didn't know anything.
She looked ahead and couldn't help muttering.
"Is today my birthday?"
"How come I don't know?"
Lan thought for a moment before speaking.
"Could this be your real birthday?"
"This Master Gu is your elder brother after all. He must have witnessed your birth. I'm sure he's right."
Gu Jingchun nodded and felt that this made sense, but she still had some doubts in her heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Erli came over on horseback.
Behind him were more than a hundred people riding horses, holding flags and shouting happy birthday to Gu Jingchun.
Further behind, there were countless people who wanted to watch the excitement.
Gu Jingchun looked at this scene and felt extremely ashamed. He turned around and ran back home.
Gu Erli, who had just dismounted and was about to give Gu Jingchun a birthday present, stood there, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
He looked at the closed door and then at his men behind him.
He spoke hesitantly.
"Did I do something wrong?"
The men shook their heads?
One of them said, "Is it that your momentum isn't strong enough, General? We are only a hundred or so people, and we really don't have enough momentum."
"What momentum, momentum!"
Another person spoke up.
"You think this is a war? The bigger the momentum, the better!"
"We're trying to please the girls."
"What's a girl?"
"It's flowers!"
"Flowers need care, love, and gentle words."
"You have so many people and such a strong momentum, as if you want to kill people. If I were your sister, I would be scared away too."
