What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Gu Xi was not the original owner, so naturally he had no impression of her.

But she would not say it out loud, she only said:

"Remember, Aunt Ren is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, so I was naturally impressed."

Ren covered her lips and smiled:

"Look at this sweet-mouthed girl. Come here. Auntie Ren has worn this bracelet for many years. I'm giving it to you as a gift. Don't despise it."

"Thank you, Aunt Ren."

It was a gift from the elder, so Gu Xi didn't dare to refuse it and was not polite.

Afterwards, Ren and Qi started talking about the Gu family's case, mentioning the old General Gu and the great General Gu, which made Qi burst into tears.

Ren couldn't help shedding tears.

The two beautiful ladies cried bitterly. Finally, Gu Xi couldn't help crying and deliberately changed the topic and asked:

"Mom, Aunt Ren, how did you two meet back then?"

After these words were spoken, the two gradually stopped crying and talked about their girlhood.

"Xiao Xi'er, when I met your mother, I was less than ten years old. We followed the maids from the palace to learn etiquette and embroidery. But I was impatient and always wanted to sneak out to play. There were a few times when I didn't finish my homework, and I used the handkerchiefs embroidered by your mother to get in."

Qi also said:

"Yes, at that time, I couldn't bear to see a delicate little girl like you being slapped on the palm of your hand. Anyway, I embroidered quickly and the nanny wouldn't notice."

As the two chatted, they talked about their expectations for their future husbands.

Two young girls, about thirteen or fourteen years old, sat under the flower stand, swinging on the swings, imagining what their future husbands would look like.

Both of them wanted to marry a peerless hero, and finally their wishes came true. The two most outstanding young generals in the capital became their husbands.

Moreover, after marriage, both generals did not take concubines. They only had one wife and were very loving to each other.

Once upon a time, they were the two most envied women in Beijing.

Just as Qi and Ren were reminiscing about the past, a figure suddenly rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Mom! Have you seen my copy of 'Miscellaneous Talks on Foreign Objects'?"

After entering the door, I found that there were guests.

Chu Zhao wanted to leave in embarrassment, but was shocked to find that the woman sitting in the first seat looked very familiar!

At this moment, Gu Xi has regained her true appearance, with a pretty face and bright big eyes. Who else could it be but her? !

The two looked at each other and spoke at the same time:

"It's you?"

"It's you?"

Gu Xi thought: Isn't this the little thief? How come he is here? He called Ren's mother, my god, the Major General of the Northwest Army is actually a little thief who steals!

Chu Zhao thought: Why is she here? What is her purpose in approaching my mother?

Qi and Ren looked at each other in surprise, and Ren asked:

"Do you know?"

"know."

"do not know."

Again in unison.

Chu Zhao said he knew her because he had followed this woman for several days and he would recognize her even if she turned into ashes.

Gu Xi said she didn't know him. When she met Chu Zhao, Chu Zhao was still a little thief. Now he is a major general. She was a sensible person and didn't want to mention other people's shameful things.

Ren was puzzled: "Do you know him or not?"

Chu Zhao said: "Oh, we met once in Chengyang County."

The two of them had only met formally once, which was when Gu Xi was knocked unconscious.

Although Chu Zhao followed Gu Xi every day afterwards, Gu Xi didn't know about it, and Chu Zhao naturally wouldn't tell anyone about the secret tracking of people.

"You are so impulsive and rude. You haven't even met your Aunt Qi and Sister Xi. Aunt Qi once held you in her arms when you were a child." Ren said angrily.

Chu Zhao quickly saluted, and Gu Xi also stood up and saluted in return.

This graceful and well-behaved appearance made Chu Zhao grit his teeth.

Pretend, keep pretending!

Now you pretend to be quiet, as if everyone doesn't know that you go out to cause trouble every night!

After the ceremony, Chu Zhao did not leave, but sat down on the chair opposite Gu Xi.

The two looked at each other, sparks flew.

Chu Zhao: I'm watching you right here, don't even think about bringing harm to our family.

Gu Xi: What are you looking at? Do you think I want to come to your house? It's just my mother's order.

The two mothers seemed unaware of the affair between their children and were still reminiscing about the past.

"When Zhao'er was little, you said that if you gave birth to a daughter, we would become in-laws. And you really gave birth to a daughter. Now that you are here, I think these two children are a perfect match. How about we make it official?" Ren said.

Seeing that my son is already a 17-year-old bachelor and still hasn't found a wife, I am worried as a mother.

The two people who were looking at each other were immediately surprised. They actually had an arranged marriage when they were children?

A suspicious blush appeared on Chu Zhao's ears, but Gu Xi looked at Chu Zhao with a teasing look.

In fact, in Gu Xi's mind, this little thief, oh no, General Chu is actually still a high school student, a little brother.

Qi waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no, in the past, they would have been a perfect match. But now, the Gu family is in this state, and we are the family of criminals. Although I know that you and General Chu will not despise us, how can we drag down the Chu family? If we become relatives, I'm afraid that person... Alas - anyway, I can't agree to this."

"Lan'er! You don't have to belittle yourself. The loyalty and bravery of the Gu family are known to the whole country, but that one - of course, we don't need to rush this matter. Let's talk about countermeasures after some time, when the storm has passed."

The more Ren looked at Gu Xi, the more she liked him.

She once said that if she were a man, she would definitely marry Qi Lan'er.

The same is true now when I let my son marry Lan'er's daughter.

She is determined to get this daughter-in-law.

"Huh? Brat, why are you still here?" Ren talked for a long time before she realized that Chu Zhao was actually sitting below.

Chu Zhao was stunned, oh my god!

She was so engrossed in the conversation that she didn't even notice her grown-up son was sitting there for half a day.

"I've always been here." Chu Zhao said angrily.

Ren suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to discuss their marriage in front of the two children, so she said:

"Go away, let's talk, it's boring for a child to stay here, take your sister Xier to walk around the garden."

They come from a family of military generals and have been stationed at the border for many years. They are not used to being particular about details, unlike the people in the capital who strictly guard the relationship between men and women.

What's more, Ren also wanted to let the two children develop more feelings for each other.

Chu Zhao actually wanted to talk to Gu Xi alone as he had too many questions.

He had originally planned to arrest her for interrogation tonight, but he didn't expect that Gu Xi and her daughter had such a good relationship with his mother.

Now that his identity has been exposed, how can we arrest him?

So he stood up, stepped forward, made a gesture of invitation, and said:

"Sister Xier, please."

Gu Xi had been sitting here for a long time, listening to the two mothers chatting, and was beginning to get bored.

So she stood up with a smile, bowed to Ren, and followed Chu Zhao out.

Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman, Ren's desire to have Gu Xi as her daughter-in-law became stronger.
