A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

After much consideration, I finally accepted Guier's suggestion and held a full moon banquet on both sides.

The Madam was very unhappy with the Tian family's insistence on holding the wedding in Nanjing. She privately told Gui'er, "When the time comes, I'll just exchange the bitter melon that Jinbao sent me last time for some money and make a quick buck. I'm too lazy to spend so much money again. If you want a decent wedding, let her family pay for it themselves."

Gui'er had to pretend not to hear.

So a few days after the test results came out, they returned to Jiangcheng again. This time, Miss Tian went back with them. Although she was reluctant at first, she later thought that she married the eldest son and now had a grandson, which was also very glorious, so she got excited and even bought several new cheongsams and dresses.

He even put it on specially, called Gui'er to see it, and asked her what she thought of it. What else could Gui'er say? Of course, she said it looked very good.

After getting off the train, they boarded cars in batches. Seeing that everyone in the car was her family, Gui'er immediately asked Sha Yanxiao, "Brother, how is Father's health these days?"

"It's a little better." Sha Yanxiao said it in a general way.

Gui'er didn't know what to ask. She actually hoped that the Marshal wouldn't get better so quickly, at least so that she could arrange for Taohua to get married off first. But of course, she couldn't say such words in front of someone else's son.

After returning to the general's residence, Gui'er said to Sha Yanxiao, "Brother, let's go see father first, and then go back to the courtyard."

Dali said with a smile, "You are quite filial. Look, all the other houses are opened directly into your yard."

Gui'er was a little embarrassed. She was anxious and should have waited and seen what others said before speaking.

Sha Yanxiao glanced at her and said with a smile, "Then let's go take a look first. But you know that father has a bad temper. Although he's said to be better now, he's still not as good as before, so he's in a bad mood. If he does something unpleasant, just don't take it to heart."

Gui'er quickly agreed and said, "Okay. I can understand."

Arriving at the main courtyard, Butler Zhao was already waiting at the gate. When Gui'er and Sha Yanxiao approached, he bowed slightly and said, "Miss, you're back."

Gui'er was a little surprised. Butler Zhao was the chief steward of the Marshal's Mansion and a close confidant of the Marshal. Although he was usually a good person and had a humble attitude, his status was there. Those concubines who were not favored had to curry favor with him, hoping that he could help them and ask the Marshal to visit their courtyard more often, or to think more about their courtyard when there were any rewards.

Even when the Marshal has free time, he never gets close to his children, so sometimes Butler Zhao becomes the messenger. In the eyes of the young men and women in the Marshal's Mansion, he is considered a half-elder, and he rarely bows and scrapes.

This time he showed such a big respect. Normally, Butler Zhao would treat his wife like this.

Gui'er turned her head and glanced at Sha Yanxiao, who looked calm.

So Gui'er smiled and said, "Long time no see, Manager Zhao, I hope you're well. How's father?"

Butler Zhao smiled and said, "This old servant has always been very kind. Thank you for your concern, young lady."

When I walked into the hall, I saw the Marshal dressed neatly, holding a cane in his hand, sitting in the main seat in the main hall with a very majestic expression.

Gui'er was startled and confused. Didn't Sha Yanxiao just say that the Marshal was quite different from before he fell ill? How come he looked better now?

She hurried forward, bowed deeply and said, "Father, how are you? Your daughter is back and wishes you all the best."

"Okay, okay, get up...get up." said the Marshal.

Guier quickly stood up straight.

The Marshal didn't drool this time, but he had to adjust his mouth shape several times before he could say this sentence. It seems that he is still far from fully recovered. However, even so, he can express his thoughts completely. If you want to obstruct him, it is not impossible, but it seems that I still have to wait and see the right time.

She sat down obediently and told the Marshal about Miss Tian's childbirth, who went to the hospital, and how the baby was white and chubby. Director Tian liked this nephew very much.

The Marshal didn't say anything, but he nodded and smiled from time to time, and he seemed very happy.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Guier glanced at Sha Yanxiao and thought it was time to leave.

Butler Zhao came with his wife, Sha Yanyao, and Miss Tian, ​​who was holding a child.

Seeing Gui'er there, Miss Tian smiled and said, "Guier is really filial. She came here to see her father without even going into her own room."

Gui'er had long been accustomed to Miss Tian's sarcastic tone, so she didn't take it seriously. She smiled and said, "Father is not feeling well, and I was worried, so I came here early.

Sha Yanyao held Miss Tian's son in his arms, walked up to the Marshal and said, "Father, this is your grandson. He just came out of confinement and is waiting for you to name him."

The Marshal reached out his hand tremblingly and touched the baby's smooth face. He was very satisfied and couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

He did not see that the baby had six fingers, because when the child was brought to him, he was wrapped tightly in a swaddle, with only his head exposed. Perhaps the eldest wife did not want the Marshal to know, so Gui'er pretended not to know.

After looking at the child, the Marshal nodded with satisfaction and waved to Butler Zhao.

Butler Zhao bowed slightly, then turned and walked into the study. He took out a brocade box and opened it. Inside was a longevity lock inlaid with gold and jade. It was very exquisite. There was also a piece of paper next to it. Butler Zhao smiled and handed the brocade box to Sha Yanyao, saying, "This is the gift and name prepared by the Marshal for his eldest grandson."

Sha Yanyao took out the longevity lock and handed it to Miss Tian. He picked up the note and opened it. It read: Sha Chengqian.

Cheng Qian, the name is very big, but it does carry the Marshal’s high hopes.

Sha Yanyao and his wife were delighted to see this. You know, even though the Marshal had held a banquet for Jin Bao's child, he hadn't given him a name. Perhaps he thought that since the legitimate grandson hadn't been named yet, he should give him a name first, and then the eldest grandson from the illegitimate family.

Miss Tian took a look and her face didn't look very good, as if she was not very satisfied with the name, but she didn't dare to bring it up.

The Marshal gestured to Butler Zhao again. Butler Zhao took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Sha Yanyao, and said, "This is the name the Marshal gave to his eldest grandson."

Sha Yanyao took it and opened it. It said: Sha Chenggang. He took a look at it, nodded with a smile, and said thank you, father.

Miss Tian turned her head to take a look, chuckled, and said, "Grandpa has a good name. Cheng Gang, Cheng Gang. You can tell at a glance that he's a very strong man."

Sha Yanyao glanced at her and winked at her, but she turned her head away and pretended not to see it.
