Chapter 203 Explanation

Xin Chuan didn't know that Gu Junqing came back early because of the shortage of manpower, but after Qi Yunjin said that, he realized what was going on and glanced at Gu Junqing.

Gu Junqing had a blank expression, as if he hadn't heard anything.

She admitted that she had miscalculated this time, but she couldn't lose face.

Gu Junqing thought expressionlessly.

Xin Chuan withdrew his gaze and nodded to indicate that he understood.

After finishing speaking, Xin Chuan stood up and was about to leave. Gu Junqing wanted to talk to him about some details.

However, Qi Yunjin stopped her and asked her to clean up the table and memorials that she had just made dirty. Xin Chuan looked at her with pity, then turned around and left without looking back.

Gu Junqing: “…”

When he turned around, he saw Qi Yunjin sitting on a chair. He was not reading the memorials, but looked like he was waiting for him to come over.

Gu Junqing walked over resignedly and reached out to clean up the things on the table that were soiled when she was grinding ink.

After spending another half an hour in the palace, Gu Junqing finally returned to the general's mansion.

Of course, the emperor also spoke a few words to him during that half hour. It was said that Liu Yanyan was engaged to the young master of the Ye family.

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing thought of something and couldn't help but sigh. She remembered that the Ye family's eldest son was also a young talent, and Liu Yanyan was now worried about Shen Qingzhu's affairs. She didn't expect that she would recover so quickly. She didn't know how these two got together to get engaged.

Of course, these two people were engaged in their previous life, but it didn’t work out. At that time, Liu Yanyan seemed to have eloped with someone.

The Ye family was so angry that they started to get angry at the engagement party, and then the relationship between the two families broke down.

However, people in the capital at that time were saying that things were not that simple and there was another hidden story behind it, but no one could explain it and the matter was left unresolved.

Gu Junqing has never cared about these things, so all he knew about were the exciting things that happened in the capital in his previous life.

She didn’t know if she would have to escape again in this life, but it had nothing to do with her and she was too lazy to get involved in this matter.

After finally returning home, Gu Junqing was about to go to the study after taking a bath, but was stopped by Chen.

Gu Junqing lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "Madame Chen, is there something you want to stop me for?"

Nanny Chen nodded, then took out the thing from her sleeve and handed it to her.

She reached out to take it, and after a closer look, she found that it was a letter from the northwest frontier.

It was sent by her maternal grandparents.

Gu Junqing was a little stunned. She had been back in Beijing for several months, and a letter was suddenly sent at this time. Could it be that something happened at the border? But there was no incident at the border in her previous life.

She opened the cover of the book and took out the letter to read it carefully.

The handwriting was somewhat strange but more familiar; it was her grandfather's handwriting.

It didn't say anything about foreign harassment and invasion at the border or anything else, just some casual words, but more of them were persuading her to go back to the border, saying that nowadays the capital is dominated by civil officials, and the status of military officers is slightly lower. She was afraid that she would be wronged, and there is almost no freedom in the border.

Gu Junqing felt warm at heart after watching this. He felt that he still had other relatives in this world and was not as isolated and helpless as he had imagined.

She put the letter away and then went back to her study to write a reply.

It is impossible to go back right now. I have to finish my current affairs before going back to the border.

However, the border is really far from the capital, and it takes at least two months for a letter to reach the border.

Gu Junqing was not in a hurry. He sorted out the written letters and put them away. He thought about what he had to do tomorrow and thought that he should rest early today.

But it was not possible to rest early. Gu Junqing stood inside the door, listening to a baby calling at his door in his childish voice.

Gu Junqing pushed the door open, took a few steps, lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Shan, who was not even as tall as his waist. He looked at him several times, then frowned and asked him:

"Aren't you already asleep at this hour? Why are you looking for me at this time?"

The tone of his words was not very good, with doubt and blame in them, and also mixed with a hint of awkward concern, caring about his health and asking him not to stay up late.

Ye Shan understood this in his heart. His face turned slightly red, and with a bit of shyness on his face, he looked at Gu Junqing and whispered:

"Master said that I have to sleep later today. After all, I was lazy this morning and missed some classes, so now I have to make up for it."

I see. Gu Junqing nodded, and then asked, "Then why are you looking for me?"

"Ah, Master said that today's lesson touched upon his blind spot in knowledge and he couldn't teach me, so he asked me to come find General Gu."

"...?"

Gu Junqing asked again expressionlessly: "Where is your master now?"

"The master said he would go back to his bedroom to prepare for tomorrow's lesson so that the current situation won't happen again tomorrow."

Look at how innocent this child is. Shi Yulin still spoils him. Gu Junqing is envious, but...

Bah, what knowledge blind spot? It’s obvious that you don’t know how to do it, and now you’re throwing the person to yourself.

Gu Junqing sighed, thinking that he would not be able to go to bed early. Facing the little boy in front of him, Gu Junqing sighed and took his hand to another study room, which could be said to be a storage room. There were many books here, which was convenient for teaching.

After lighting the candle in the study, the view became brighter, and Gu Junqing put down Ye Shan, who had just been asking him to hold him because he was afraid of the dark.

Then he asked, "What does your master want me to teach you?"

"Military Book"

"and then?"

"there is none left"

Ye Shan shook his head honestly, and Gu Junqing remained silent.

Then she thought, if Shi Yulin couldn't understand and didn't know how to read the military book, Gu Junqing felt that she could just write her name backwards.

After all, he had discussed things in military books with Shi Yulin before, and this guy explained what was written in the military books very clearly. He was definitely not the Shi Yulin who knew nothing as Ye Shan said.

She seriously suspected that Shi Yulin just wanted to be lazy.

She has no evidence.

She felt that she needed to give Shi Yulin a good spur tomorrow.

Having made up his mind, Gu Junqing still explained to Ye Shan honestly what he didn't understand. Fortunately, Ye Shan was a hardworking boy who learned things quickly, otherwise he might have hit Shi Yulin directly. After all, he was always soft-hearted towards children.

Shi Yulin threw the person to himself and assigned him some specific content. Fortunately, it was not much. After talking for half an hour, Gu Junqing's mouth was dry and he was a little thirsty. Only then did he barely finish explaining it.

Ye Shan returned to his room with the military book in his arms, feeling satisfied.

Gu Junqing went to find some water to drink.
