Chapter 94 Entering Beijing
That’s right, Qin You is still following Gu Chengze now. He is also a fourth-rank official and is Gu Chengze’s deputy.
As for why he didn't start his own business, he thought that since he was alone, there was nothing good to keep, so he might as well follow Gu Chengze and eat and drink for free.
Gu Chengze also understood but he just couldn't help it. Well, let's deal with official business first.
"Report! General, the lady has arrived at the city gate!"
"Already arrived?" Gu Chengze stood up immediately after hearing the news. He was still thinking about it just now, but now he still found it a little unbelievable when he heard the news.
"Yes! The general has arrived."
Gu Chengze checked it again and confirmed it. It finally felt real, and he immediately rushed out and rode away.
Li Zheng on this side could already see the city walls of the capital from the carriage, and thought to herself that they had finally arrived. This carriage ride was really enough.
Li Zhu was also very excited and looked out. He didn't know what he saw, but he turned around and shouted to Li Zheng's carriage: "Sister! Sister! It's my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law is coming!"
When Li Zheng heard Gu Chengze coming in the carriage, she immediately lifted the curtain and looked out. It was indeed him. Li Zheng's fingers trembled slightly and her eyes were wet, but she was more filled with happiness. They finally met.
Gu Chengze rode his horse and saw the convoy in front of him. Who else could it be but her? He whipped his horse whip and said, "Gee!"
"Whoa." He turned over and got off the horse.
Li Zhu excitedly ran down the carriage and ran to Gu Chengze, "Brother-in-law! How did you know we were coming?"
Gu Chengze patted his shoulder and said, "Good boy, you've grown taller too." Then he turned to look at Li Zheng. No one could see that his hand was trembling slightly under his sleeve. It had been almost half a year since they finally met. Thinking of the days when they were apart, he felt sorry for her. But now he could make it up to her.
Gu Chengze stepped forward, held her hand, and got into the carriage. There were too many people around, and he didn't want anyone to see him.
“Ahh.”
Gu Chengze heard the sound and turned his head to see a little kid eating his hand. "What is this?"
Li Zheng smiled slightly at his bewildered look, but Li Zhu wasn't so kind and complained directly, "Your son, he looks different now than he did at first. He's so handsome now."
Gu Chengze looked at his son and felt that he was somewhat strange and familiar. He looked different from when he left before, and he looked much more handsome.
Li Zheng saw the desire in his eyes, picked up Xiaobao and handed him, "You try to hold him."
"I..." Gu Chengze looked at his fair and tender son. The small ball made him feel a little helpless, as if he was afraid that he would break him if he used too much force.
"It's okay, try holding her. She's not that fragile." Li Zheng knew what he was thinking when she saw his fingers moving restlessly, as if he wanted to hold her but didn't dare.
Seeing this, Li Zhu also said: "Yes, brother-in-law, Xiaobao is very well behaved."
"Xiaobao?"
"Well, I haven't chosen a name since you were away, so I just gave it a nickname." She hugged him without giving him a chance to refuse.
Gu Chengze looked at the little person in his arms, his arms were stiff and he didn't know how to move.
Xiaobao seemed to feel uncomfortable with this posture, and he moved around, strongly protesting his dissatisfaction.
"This... I'd better not hold him." Gu Chengze saw Xiaobao moving around and knew that he might not be comfortable holding him.
Seeing that Gu Chengze was stiff, Li Zheng took him without any hesitation. Sure enough, the little treasure became much more obedient in her arms. However, Li Zheng thought that he should practice holding the child in the future, otherwise, how could the father-son relationship be improved if he just watched from the side?
Gu Chengze heaved a sigh of relief when she took Xiaobao. Li Zhu, watching from the side, despised his brother-in-law in his heart for not even daring to hold Xiaobao, but he didn't dare show it, otherwise his brother-in-law would secretly plot against him again.
Gu Chengze sat by and watched Xiaobao sucking his fingers. He wanted to pull his hand away. How could a man suck his fingers? So he pulled it out. Unexpectedly, what he got in return was a punch from Baoge'er. He turned away and continued to chew his fingers.
Li Zheng laughed when she saw this, and Gu Chengze was also a little embarrassed and put his hand down awkwardly.
Fortunately, we were almost at the mansion, so I told her about the situation there.
Arriving at the gate, Li Zheng saw that the mansion was indeed much larger. Walking inside, she could see the gardens, pavilions, rockeries, and everything else. Li Zheng thought to herself that the difference between a second-rank and a fifth-rank mansion was indeed huge.
Gu Chengze had already started cleaning when he went to pick up Li Zheng, and he just needed to add a few more things.
When Li Zheng arrived at the yard, she saw that the layout was almost the same as her previous yard. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, showing her good mood.
There was basically nothing to decorate the house, so Ayue just had to put in her commonly used things. Li Zhu was now eight years old and was going to live in the front yard.
Seeing that Xiaobao fell asleep, he put him on the bed. Seeing this, Gu Chengze finally had a chance to talk to her, so he pulled her to his study.
Li Zheng thought that this person came to the study to discuss something with her, but she was also very happy to see this person hugging her.
Gu Chengze rubbed her neck and finally hugged her.
At night, Li Zheng fed Baoer in the room and put him on his bed. She glanced at Gu Chengze again and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was reading. Although they were husband and wife, she still felt a little uncomfortable about breastfeeding.
Gu Chengze saw that she had finished feeding the baby, so he put down the book he had been unable to read. Although she didn't notice, he still took a sneak peek, and this glance made him feel a little...
When Li Zheng saw him coming, she felt a little nervous for some reason, as if she was back on her wedding night. No wonder people say that a short separation is better than a new marriage, and the night is still long.
The next day, Li Zheng slept until noon again. After waking up, she was surprised that Xiaobao didn't cry. When she got up, she saw Gu Chengze holding Xiaobao and playing with him. It seemed that Xiaobao had become familiar with him.
Gu Chengze saw Li Zheng got up and walked over with Xiaobao in his arms. Xiaobao hadn't seen Li Zheng all morning and now he was babbling and stretching out his hands for her to hold him.
But Li Zheng didn't hug him, and let them spend some time together. "By the way, why didn't Xiaobao cry this morning? What did you feed him?"
"I asked Yu's mother, and she fed him some milk. He seemed to enjoy the food." Gu Chengze held Xiaobao and rocked him for a while, and Xiaobao was very happy again.
Well, that's true. Now he can drink some cow's milk or goat's milk. Now the baby is six months old and can eat some complementary food.
"By the way, you just got promoted, why don't you go on duty?" Li Zheng thought, shouldn't he be on duty at this time?
