My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

At this time, Gu Huaining couldn't wait to answer, "Dad, Mom, just before lunch, the palace suddenly sent a large number of rewards! And those things are specially for me and my sisters! There are so many that I can't count them! Grandmother checked carefully and told us that there are a lot of high-quality fabrics in it, which can be used to make warm winter clothes for each of us. In addition, Grandmother also said that when we hold the hunting activities in the spring of next year, she can use the remaining fabrics to prepare two sets of beautiful riding clothes for each of us! She also told us to seriously learn the skills of riding and archery in the next few months."

After saying this, Gu Huaining looked at his parents expectantly, as if waiting for their affirmative response.

Gu Huaining came trotting towards him like a happy little rabbit, with light steps, and in the blink of an eye he came to Lin Qingxue's side.

Her little mouth was like a machine gun, talking "da da da" non-stop, and words kept popping out of her mouth like a string of cannonballs.

Lin Qingxue bent down slightly, smiling, and looked at the lively and cute little guy in front of her with gentle eyes.

She listened quietly to Gu Huaining's endless story, and a deep feeling of love surged in her heart, as warm and gentle as the spring sun.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all the noise and troubles around her, and only had eyes for this innocent and eloquent child.

"Mother had originally planned to find a tailor to come over in the next few days and take your measurements carefully so that she could make you all several new sets of winter clothes. However, she's been so busy these past few days that she's put it off. But it doesn't matter. We must make time before lunch tomorrow to have the tailor take your measurements!"

At this moment, when Lin Qingxue heard Gu Huaining mention making riding clothes, she slapped her head suddenly. Oh, how could she have forgotten such an important thing!

I've been so busy these days that I even forgot about the important task of measuring the children's sizes and making new clothes.

Gu Jinxuan, who was standing by, saw that Lin Qingxue was only concerned about preparing clothes for the children, and quickly said with concern: "Qingxue, don't forget to make a few more sets of clothes for yourself. Don't just think about the children. Our family is not short of fabrics and money."

Lin Qingxue smiled slightly after hearing this and nodded without hesitation: "Okay!"

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that with the current financial situation of the Gu family, let alone she just wanted to make a few sets of winter clothes, even if she just changed into a new set every day and threw away the old one, it would be a piece of cake for the Gu family and not a burden at all.

So since she has this condition to enjoy, she naturally won't be stupid enough to treat herself badly. She is not the kind of person who will endure hardship without any hardship.

A family of six sat around the dinner table, chatting enthusiastically. From family matters to interesting things that happened recently, everyone spoke freely, and laughter echoed in the house from time to time.

Before we knew it, it was getting dark, and everyone finally stopped talking and started enjoying the delicious dinner.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the children stood up, bowed to their elders and said goodbye, then went back to their own courtyards to rest.

At this moment, the night was like a huge and thick piece of black silk, falling silently from the sky and gently covering the entire Gu family compound.

As the children left, the originally bustling hall suddenly became quiet, and for a while only the occasional chirping of insects could be heard.

In the hall, the candlelight flickered gently, and the dim light stretched the figures of Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue and projected them onto the ground.

Gu Jinxuan elegantly picked up the teacup in front of him, first put it to his nose and sniffed it, then carefully took a sip of the steaming and fragrant tea.

He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "It's still early. Why don't we go for a walk in the yard to help digest the food we just ate? What do you think, Madam?"

Hearing her husband's proposal, Lin Qingxue smiled slightly and nodded slightly to show her agreement. Her beautiful eyes flashed with endless tenderness, and she responded softly: "Okay! That's exactly what I was thinking!"

After saying that, Gu Jinxuan gently put down the teacup in his hand, and his eyes naturally fell on Lin Qingxue's beautiful face.

Looking at his wife's slightly tired face, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of pity in his heart. He said slowly, "You worry about all the big and small matters of the family all day long. It's really too hard. You should rest more in the future. Tomorrow I will ask the housekeeper to arrange for a tailor to make you some new clothes. As for those other trivial matters, you don't have to ask and do everything yourself. We have many servants in our family. How can we let you, as the master, be exhausted and dizzy, while letting them, the servants, enjoy their leisure and happiness!"

Lin Qingxue's lips curled up slightly, outlining a gentle and charming smile. She nodded gently, indicating that she understood what Gu Jinxuan said.

Then, she stretched out her fair and slender hand, gracefully picked up the teapot, and slowly filled the teacup in front of Gu Jinxuan with fragrant tea.

"I understand what you mean. It's just a habit I've developed over a long period of time. No matter what I do, I always have to watch it with my own eyes to feel truly at ease."

Lin Qingxue said softly, her eyes revealing concern. Before she got married, she was worried about her brothers from her natal family running the shop, so she had to ask about everything before she felt at ease.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something important, she paused for a moment and continued, "By the way, didn't the emperor instruct you to talk to your second brother about establishing the Firearms Department? I wonder when you plan to go and discuss this with him?"

Hearing this, Gu Jinxuan's originally relaxed brows couldn't help but frown slightly, revealing a hint of worry.

He sighed softly and replied in a low voice, "I plan to go find Jinyu tomorrow. I'll need to spend some time tonight sorting out all the relevant information. After all, establishing the Firearms Department is no easy task, involving many complex matters and key links. I'm afraid Jinyu will be very busy next. Fortunately, the ideas you provided earlier were very ingenious, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with such a difficult situation."

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Lin Qingxue affectionately, his eyes full of gratitude.

Lin Qingxue slowly extended her delicate hand and gently grasped Gu Jinxuan's broad and warm palm. She gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and softly comforted him, "Jinxuan, we are family! You are underestimating Jinyu by saying that. In my opinion, with his intelligence and resourcefulness, he will surely be able to come up with a plan to deal with this in no time."

The two of them leaned against each other and talked in soft voices, as if time had stopped for them. The flickering candlelight illuminated their faces, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, like a dream.

Before I knew it, the night had deepened and the candlelight gradually dimmed, like a candle in the wind.

Finally, they seemed to realize the passage of time, and they stood up at the same time, smiled at each other, and then walked towards the room together.

The watery moonlight shines quietly into the house through the carved windows, adding a touch of softness and warmth to this originally quiet night.

After returning to the room, Lin Qingxue flew away like a light butterfly and went to the bathroom to wash and bathe, allowing her tired body and mind to completely relax.

Gu Jinxuan turned and walked towards the study, where the valuable information about bombs that Lin Qingxue had given him before was placed.

Sitting at the desk, Gu Jinxuan carefully looked through the materials, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

While thinking about the key points, he combined them with the various precautions raised by Lin Qingxue and began to write furiously, rewriting a detailed memorial on the establishment and subsequent operation of the Firearms Bureau.

This memorial embodies his hard work and wisdom. He is determined to solemnly hand it over to Gu Jinyu when he discusses this matter with him tomorrow, so as to jointly promote the progress of this important matter.

At midnight that day, the temperature dropped suddenly. The originally silent night was shrouded in a cold breath. The sky was like a huge black curtain, without a trace of twinkling stars.

In this inky black night, a drizzle quietly fell, sprinkling onto the earth as lightly as cow hair.

When the dawn light finally penetrated the darkness and it was bright, Lin Qingxue slowly woke up from her sweet dream.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked towards the tightly closed window. She saw that everything outside the window was hazy and fine raindrops were falling, turning the whole world into a hazy picture.

The gloomy and gray sky made it seem as if they were still in the deep night. At this moment, a slight noise was heard in the room.

It turned out that Donghe and Chuntao heard the sound of their master waking up, and each of them carefully carried a basin of steaming water into the house.

They walked with light steps, their faces filled with respect and courtesy, ready to help their two masters with dressing and washing after they got up.

"Master, look, it's raining outside. It's very cold. You need to wear some thick clothes!"

Dong He spoke softly as she deftly opened the box, took out a set of slightly thicker clothes and threw it on the bed.

Then she turned around and took out a soft and warm cloak from another box, gently shook it open, and displayed it in front of her.

Faced with Donghe's self-willed behavior, Lin Qingxue not only did not show any dissatisfaction or displeasure, on the contrary, she behaved extremely submissively.

Under the careful care of Donghe and Chuntao, the couple quickly changed into thick cotton clothes and tied the belts of their cloaks.

Then, they walked to the basin together and began to wash up carefully. After everything was ready, Lin Qingxue and his wife went to the side hall to have breakfast.

Not long after I sat down, I heard a burst of cheerful footsteps coming from afar. In the blink of an eye, four lively and cute children ran in, chirping like little sparrows, instantly filling the originally quiet side hall with laughter.

The children pushed open the door happily, and like a group of lively deer, they happily jumped to the side of Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan.

Gu Huaining took the lead and opened his mouth impatiently, his eyes as bright as stars sparkling with anticipation: "Daddy, Mommy, it's raining outside today, and school is on vacation! Can we ask Mommy to play with us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other children nodded in agreement like chicks pecking at rice, and their little heads shook like rattles that kept turning.

The eager and longing expressions were revealed, and it was obvious that everyone wanted Lin Qingxue to accompany them and play together.

When Gu Jinxuan saw the children's pitiful and eager looks, he couldn't help but feel pity for them.

He slowly put down the teacup he was holding, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile, and replied in a gentle voice: "Of course it's no problem. Later, someone will come to measure your body dimensions. After everything is measured, let your mother accompany you wholeheartedly and play as much as you want, okay?"

Hearing this, the children were immediately very excited. Their little faces turned red with excitement, making them as cute and attractive as ripe apples.

They couldn't help but clap their hands, cheering and shouting with joy. At this moment, these little guys were so happy that they were ecstatic to wear new and beautiful clothes, and they were also excited about having Lin Qingxue's caring company.

After enjoying a rich and delicious breakfast, Gu Jinxuan carefully picked up the memorial that he had carefully written last night, held up an oil-paper umbrella, and walked steadily towards the courtyard where Gu Jinyu lived, facing the drizzle.

It turned out that he went there to discuss with Gu Jinyu the establishment of the Firearms Bureau.

In this way, Lin Qingxue, the mother, was the only one left at home. She stayed there with a smile, happily accompanying these innocent children in playing happily.

Since Gu Jinxuan left, the atmosphere at home has undergone subtle but significant changes. The children, who were always a little restrained because of Gu Jinxuan's presence, now seemed to have broken free from some kind of restraint, and their relationship with Lin Qingxue became more natural and harmonious.

You know, although the four children are usually very well-behaved and sensible, they can't help but feel a little fear in their hearts when facing the serious and majestic Gu Jinxuan.

Whenever he was at home, the children would unconsciously restrain their words and actions, for fear of accidentally displeasing their father.

However, now, with Gu Jinxuan's departure, this invisible pressure suddenly disappeared, and the children were finally able to completely relax and fully display their innocent, lively and carefree side.

Lin Qingxue also keenly noticed this change. She treated the children with a more gentle and kind attitude, patiently listening to their every word, and carefully protecting the innocence in their hearts.

As a result, laughter and joy began to echo frequently in this warm family.
