Both worlds are like dreams

Xue Huang was a little worried. She didn't know what Gu Qinglan's grandfather liked. All she could think of were these supplements and medicinal herbs, but even these were gone. She found the banknotes and decided to go out for a walk.

However, before he even walked out of the door, the voice of the young man in the gem rang out, "Why are you making such a fuss?"

"That's Brother Qinglan's grandfather."

"You don't have to be so exaggerated. You are going there as a junior, not a princess. It's good enough that your intention is there."

"That's right," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Then what gift should I prepare?"

"Didn't I teach you how to make summer heat tea before? The weather is just right now."

"Yes!" Xue Huang suddenly realized, and immediately asked people to prepare the raw materials. It took her an hour to make two jars, and then she put them away carefully.

After noon on the second day, Xuehuang went out in a carriage.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

After a while, Gu Qinglan came out to greet her. As soon as they met, he smiled and said, "I thought you would really climb over the wall to get in."

Xue Huang jumped off the carriage, "Next time, next time."

"Follow me in." Gu Qinglan led the way.

This was the first time that Xue Huang stepped into the main gate of the Duke's Mansion. This was the first time that Xue Huang stepped into the main gate of the Duke's Mansion, but it was slightly different from what she had imagined.

The Gu family is a noble family that has been around for generations. Although their mansion is grand and imposing, it is also very elegant.

When you enter the door, the first thing you see is a hall called Qinghui. After passing the martial arts training ground, there is a hall called Qinghui Hall, which is also the place where the host receives guests.

But Gu Qinglan did not take her in, but went straight to the backyard.

Along the way, he met many servants and maids of the Gu family. He was very respectful to them, and Gu Qinglan nodded to them one by one.

The flowers, plants and trees in the Gu family's courtyard are planted very neatly. There are also small bridges, flowing water, rockery and waterfalls in the courtyard. The rockery is also carved with lifelike and exquisite patterns.

Next to the rockery, there is a stone tablet three meters high and about two meters wide. On the stone tablet are written several powerful, elegant and vivid large characters - defend the country.

Gu Qinglan explained: "This was carved out slowly by my father with his sword and knife. He liked to practice martial arts here, and he often taught me martial arts here when I was a child."

Xue Huang glanced around and saw a large open space with various spears, bows and swords standing on the shelves.

The Gu family is also a family of military generals, so it is not surprising that they have such a martial arts training ground.

Across the martial arts training ground, there is a lake, and along the gravel road next to it, there is a pavilion.

Duke Jingguo was sitting inside at this time. When he saw the two of them coming, he stood up and walked over.

"Greetings, Duke." Xue Huang said with a smile.

Duke Jingguo's face was full of kindness, "No need to be so polite."

"This is a gift for you," Xue Huang handed over the gift box, "It's a summer-heat tea I made myself. The weather is hot right now, and drinking this can help you cool down."

"The princess is thoughtful."

"You don't have to call me princess," Xue Huang said with a smile, "Brother Qinglan and I have an agreement in advance. I am not a princess in front of them. You are Brother Qinglan's grandfather, which means you are my elder."

Duke Jingguo's expression changed slightly, "Then you don't have to call me Duke from now on, just call me Grandpa Gu, okay?"

Xue Huang was stunned for a moment, looking at this kind old man, his kindness actually made her feel as if she had seen him somewhere before.
