Chapter 700 Gu Tingye is back, engagement date

When Han Xianggong heard what Zhao Zongquan said, his expression changed a little, but he couldn't say anything.

After all, he did make great contributions, which cannot be erased.

Seeing that Han Xianggong and others admitted it, Zhao Zongquan nodded with satisfaction.

Time passed quickly.

The Bianjing wharf was crowded with people, and Zhao Zongquan also came to the wharf with several husbands.

On the other side, people from Ningyuan Marquis Mansion also came over in carriages.

Zhao Zongquan also saw Gu Yankai and his group, but he did not ask anyone to disturb them. Gu Tingye had already returned. After this matter was completed, he could just summon Gu Tingyu.

Just as everyone was waiting quietly, a few black spots were seen emerging from the water in the distance.

"Here it comes, the ship is coming."

The sudden shout attracted everyone's attention.

Gu Tingyu, Shao Xueyan and their two children also stood on the carriage and looked over. The big ship was sailing towards them against the wind and waves.

"Xian Jie'er, Yuan Ge'er, look, our second uncle is coming back."

"Really? Over there?"

Sister Xian, who had been a little distracted, immediately stretched her neck and looked around when she heard this.

When Xian Jie'er saw Gu Tingyu pointing at the big ship in the distance, her mouth opened wider in shock.

"Father, I want to take a boat ride, too, is that okay?"

"Okay, okay, when we have time, let's go take a boat ride."

Hearing that Gu Tingyu agreed, Xian Jie'er happily hugged Gu Tingyu's neck and kissed him hard on the face.

After that, he looked at the big ship excitedly.

Gu Tingye has been away for the past few days, and Xian Jie'er misses him a lot. After all, this second uncle is very nice to her, and Gu Tingye is the only one in the mansion who plays around with her.

During the time when Gu Tingyu was away, Gu Tingye was also very good to her. After not seeing him for a few days, Xian Jie'er really missed him.

Yuan Ge'er watched his sister kiss his father, and a look of envy appeared on his little face.

However, for some reason, this boy, although small in stature, had a very steady temperament. Seeing his envy, Gu Tingyu leaned forward and let him kiss him.

Yuan Ge'er then showed an innocent smile on his face. Shao Xueyan felt a little envious when she saw this scene.

"This brat, I'm usually so nice to him, but he's not that close to me."

Although she thought so in her heart, Shao Xueyan did not say anything. Instead, she was quite happy. After all, her son was usually too boring and did not have the liveliness of a child at all.

The big ship was not sailing fast. After all, there was a lot of silver on board and its waterline was very heavy.

However, the distance was not too far after all, and they quickly docked on the shore.

After seeing the ship dock successfully, Zhao Zongquan hurried over with several of his men.

"Tingyu, let's go too."

"Yes, father, Xueyan, please take a look at the child."

After Gu Tingyu handed the child in his arms to Shao Xueyan, he quickly followed Gu Yankai and walked over.

Gu Tingye had already seen the situation at the dock from the bow, so as soon as the ship docked, he was the first to walk down.

"Your Majesty, I am honored to honor my command."

"Okay, okay, Tingye, I really didn't misjudge you."

Zhao Zongquan helped Gu Tingye up as he was packing his luggage. He was filled with excitement as his ambitions could finally come true.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Go back and have a good rest for a day. You and your elder brother will attend the morning court tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhao Zongquan looked at the silver that was carried down from the boat by the soldiers one after another and nodded with satisfaction.

He had already learned from his personal eunuch that Gu Tingye did not touch a penny of the silver. In addition, after Gu Tingyu handed over the money to Gu Tingye, he rode back to Bianjing at full speed.

Such a loyal minister must be entrusted with important tasks.

Now, apart from the people under his command when he was still a prince, the people Zhao Zongquan trusts the most are Gu Tingye and Gu Tingyu.

After respectfully bidding farewell to Zhao Zongquan, Gu Tingye excitedly ran to Gu Yankai.

"Father, I'm back."

"Well, this time the matter was handled well. Our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion must repay His Majesty's grace."

"Yes, father, I know."

Gu Yankai looked at Gu Tingye, who was completely different from when he was a child, and patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

"Big brother."

"You've finally grown up. I heard from your sister-in-law about you and Minglan. She has already asked her to start preparing. You're going to start a family soon. That's great."

"Hey, big brother, I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"Okay, if you can postpone the wedding until I come back, there's no need to talk about this. We're a family."

When Gu Tingye heard what Gu Tingyu said, he nodded solemnly and thought in his heart, we are a family.

 …

After working for an hour, the soldiers finally handed over all the silver to the Ministry of Revenue.

After arranging the soldiers to return to the camp, Gu Tingye followed Gu Yan in the carriage back to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

There weren't many people on the pier at this time, and everyone went back one after another after watching the excitement.

"Second uncle, second uncle, I'm here."

When Xian Jie'er saw that Gu Tingye was finally walking towards her, she immediately became energetic, although she was originally a little confused, and jumped up and down to wave and greet Gu Tingye.

"Hey, Sister Xian, Brother Yuan, do you miss your uncle?"

"Yeah, I thought about it."

Sister Xian leaned in Gu Tingye's arms and nodded her head cutely. Although Brother Yuan didn't say anything, he also nodded.

Seeing the two little ones’ performance, Gu Tingye smiled happily.

The family happily returned to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. After chatting lively for a while, Gu Yankai asked Gu Tingye to go back and rest.

Sailing a large ship in that era was not an easy job. Add to that the huge amount of silver on board, and everyone was on edge the whole time and very tired.

Gu Tingye also knew his situation. After agreeing, he returned to his yard.

Sheng family.

Sheng Hong already knew that Gu Tingye had returned, and was sitting in the main room thinking about Gu Tingye and Minglan's marriage.

Mrs. Wang looked at Sheng Hong who was thinking seriously, hesitated for a moment, and then opened her mouth to ask.

"Master, now that Gu Tingye has returned, what about Minglan's marriage?"

"Well, I understand. We can't be impatient about this matter. Otherwise, what will happen? The Sheng family is not a family that curries favor with the powerful."

Sheng Hong said this with a slight twitch on his face. He was a little anxious in his heart, but the noble character of the scholar-officials prevented him from taking the initiative to bring it up.

Otherwise, the Sheng family's reputation would be ruined.

Although Madam Wang didn't quite understand, since Sheng Hong said so, she could only nod and agree.

As the two were talking, someone outside said that people from Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion had arrived.

Sheng Hong stood up immediately and walked out quickly.

Mrs. Wang only reacted at this time and hurriedly followed.

"My Lord, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming so I could prepare myself."

"Haha, Lord Sheng, our two families should not be so polite. Tingye and Tingyu are already back. When do you think the time is right for Tingye and Minglan's wedding?"

"My Lord, after knowing that Ting Yu had returned, I had someone calculate it. Five days later, it will be an auspicious day."

"Okay, let's make it a deal then."
