Master Gu reluctantly pulled his granddaughter over. Although he also liked Ming Zhan as his disciple, he knew that forced marriages would not be sweet. "Yaoyao, stop messing around. There are many good men out there. Grandpa will pick a better one for you."
Yaoyao was rejected and became angry and blurted out: "Who is your crush?"
Seeing Xiao Mingzhan ignoring her, she was so angry that she was shaking and pointing at Gu Xinran, "Is it him? You and Doctor Ling are protecting him. Do you really like men? You are a homosexual!"
Seeing everyone was silent after speaking, he thought, "Isn't this a tacit agreement?" He became even angrier, snatched the medicine bowl from Doctor Ling's hand, and poured it on Gu Xinran.
In fact, everyone was just shocked by her words and didn't react for a while. Alas, eating melons is risky, especially when you are the one in the melon.
Gu Xinran hurriedly hid behind Xiao Mingzhan, "Your Highness, help me! I'm so scared! Please, Your Highness, please be kind and treat me like a fart..."
Xiao Mingzhan jumped up from the bed in shock and covered her mouth to stop her from talking nonsense. "Ranran, don't talk nonsense. You are the only one in my heart."
Then he looked her up and down, and seeing two drops of medicine splashed on her forehead, he hurriedly grasped his sleeve and carefully wiped them off for her.
He turned around and yelled at Gu Yaoyao with a cold face: "You are being unreasonable. Apologize!"
Gu Yaoyao was heartbroken when she saw that her prediction came true. They actually dared to show affection in front of everyone. What's worse, her senior brother even scolded her. She collapsed instantly!
She was so angry that she threw the medicine bowl to the ground and burst into tears, "You...you have no shame!"
Master Gu was in a real headache. He could tell at a glance that Gu Xinran was a girl, but he didn't point it out. As long as he could make this foolish granddaughter give up and misunderstand that his apprentice was gay, that was a small problem.
He grabbed his granddaughter and said to Xiao Mingzhan, "Disciple, calm down. I'll take her out first."
The grandfather and grandson pushed each other out of the tent, and Doctor Ling also quietly left.
Xiaomei came in and cleaned up, and left only after seeing that Gu Xinran was fine.
After all this ordeal, Xiao Mingzhan was angry and anxious, and felt a little shaky.
Gu Xinran quickly helped him onto the bed and fed him a large cup of spiritual spring water. She thought that no other nourishing soup could be as good as this, so forget about the "junior sister" thing.
However, she was always unhappy when her boyfriend was being thought of by someone else. She squinted at Xiao Mingzhan and said sourly, "Junior sister has deep feelings for you. It's a pity to disappoint such a beautiful woman. Does it hurt?"
Seeing that she was still worried, Xiao Mingzhan was in a good mood. "You are the only one in my eyes and heart. You are my only beauty! Ranran, I want to get married soon."
Gu Xinran had no objection to the engagement and nodded in agreement, but she was a little confused, "As a prince, do you have the right to marry freely?"
"Others don't have it, but I do. Father and the Emperor don't have any requirements for me. As long as I am willing and it's a girl, it's fine. I will write a letter back to the capital and ask for the emperor's approval of the marriage."
It's good to be able to decide on it and put a label on it, which can save a lot of trouble. But at this step, do I have to inform my family?
"Okay, does this count as a private marriage? Do you need to visit my family and ask for their opinion? And hire a matchmaker or something..."
Seeing her chattering on and on, Xiao Mingzhan felt that she had no shyness at all when talking about marriage. Ranran was really different from others.
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. He pulled her to sit on the bed, took her hand and gently stroked it, "Well, when I feel better, I will pay you a formal visit."
At this time, Xiao Ba's voice came from the door again, "Master, the general is here to visit."
Seeing that he was in good condition after drinking the spiritual spring water, Gu Xinran pulled his little hand out, said goodbye and left.
After saying hello to my uncle, I returned to my tent, which was filled with laughter.
The place where Duan Yunchi is is the most lively.
Seeing Gu Xinran coming back, Gu's mother hurriedly pulled her to sit next to her and asked about Xiao Mingzhan's situation.
Everyone was relieved after learning that everything was fine.
Duan Yunchi looked at her with a half-smile. Gu Xinran rolled her eyes at him and started asking, "Brother Yunchi, are there any good houses or farms for sale in Jinzhou Prefecture recently?"
Mother Gu interrupted with a smile, "We were just talking about this. A lot of the private property of convicted officials has been confiscated these past few days, and there are many good shops, houses, and farms for sale."
Gu Xinran became excited, "Brother Yunchi, who is responsible for this? You have to find a way to leave some for my family."
Duan Yunchi tapped the tip of his nose and said, "I am not talented, but I just happened to pick up this lucrative position."
"Oh, you're so awesome, cousin! Come on, introduce yourself. Three or five seats are not too many, and one or two seats are not too few."
Duan Yunchi tapped her forehead and said, "It seems that Ranran has quite a bit of money! Don't worry, you won't have any idea even if I tell you. I'll take you to see it when we get back to the city. I've kept all the good properties and will share some with you later."
Gu Xinran is obsessed with having a big house and a big farm. Her dream of lying down is about to come true, and a bad life is beckoning her. How can she not be anxious?
Hearing the good things, he kept them, felt at ease, and gave a thumbs up, praising: "Cousin, you are wise!"
That night, Gu Xinran's dreams were filled with luxurious mansions and vast farms with abundant harvests stretching as far as the eye could see.
Early the next morning, as the Gu family looked forward to a better life, the large army set out.
Gu Xinran, dressed in men's clothes, took over as the accompanying doctor. Together with Doctor Ling, they rode horses beside Xiao Mingzhan's sedan chair. On the other side was the silent eldest brother.
The journey was smooth. Occasionally, the junior sister would come over to show her presence. The ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and other good things she gave him would be kept and all went into the eldest brother's stomach.
Gu Xinran could see that the dumb senior brother's heart was entirely on the junior sister, but with his silent demeanor that made it impossible to say a word, it would be a long and difficult journey to win her heart.
Taking Xiao Mingzhan's injury into consideration, they did not march in a hurry, and only arrived at Jinzhou Prefecture in the evening four days later.
When they were almost at the city gate, the general led his soldiers and separated from everyone else, returning to the temporary camp ten miles away from the city.
They arrived at the South Gate, where some traces of siege could be seen faintly on the gate and the city walls. It should not be easy to capture Jinzhou Prefecture.
However, after more than ten days, he recovered his strength.
Today, the gates of Jinzhou Prefecture are wide open and everything is in order. Teams of refugees, escorted by officers and soldiers, queue up in an orderly manner to leave the city, and can also buy food at a reasonable price on the left side of the city gate.
Grandpa Gu's eyes were red with tears. The refugees would be blessed with the arrival of General Qi and his men.
If the villagers of Qingshan had not been blocked by the city gate and had a smooth journey, they might have reached the territory of Yunzhou and would not have had to endure the hardships of crossing mountains and rivers!
From the refugees' conversations, we learned that as soon as they arrived at the north gate, they would be given a bowl of hot porridge; and when they went out of the south gate, they could buy three kilograms of food at a fair price, but they were not allowed to stay in the city.
When Grandpa Gu heard this, he praised Xiao Mingzhan highly and called him a good prince who cared about the people!
After passing through the bustling main street, the first place we arrived at was the governor's office where Xiao Mingzhan was in charge.
When Qingfeng Village took over the bandits, County Magistrate Zhao, who had met them once before, was waiting at the gate of the yamen with a few people.
