The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

After finishing breakfast, Song Yuntang thought about it, and then discussed it with Xu Qingye, who had just come out of the study after finishing his official business. He asked someone to prepare a generous gift and send it to the farm where Mrs. Gu was.

The next day, Gu Xinjiu came to express his gratitude with a letter.

"I didn't do anything that day. The princess gave me such a big gift, and Xinjiu was terrified to accept it. I wanted to bring it back to the princess today, but I was afraid that the princess would blame me. I didn't know what to do for a while."

"It's okay. It's Miss Gu's gift. It belongs to Miss Gu. Just keep it." Song Yuntang looked at her. "What does Miss Gu's mother usually call you?"

Gu Xinjiu looked respectful.

"Mother usually calls me Jiuer."

"Miss Gu is seventeen years old this year, five years younger than me. How about I call you Jiuer too?" Song Yuntang looked at her and asked.

Perhaps because he rarely made friends outside, Gu Xinjiu felt a little awkward when faced with Song Yuntang's sudden closeness.

Just nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Song Yuntang waved towards the courtyard, and saw Hao Ting running into the house.

"Hao Ting told me that he didn't have enough fun fishing in Taoxi Mountain that day, and he wanted to go fishing somewhere else. It just so happens that there is a fish pond in my hot spring villa. I wonder if Jiuer is free these days? Then we can go together."

As soon as Hao Ting came in, he saluted Gu Xinjiu with his chubby little fists. Although he was small, his movements seemed clumsy but they were actually quite skillful, which made her laugh.

Cover your lips and smile.

"I am free. If the princess and the young master want to go, Xinjiu will accompany them at any time."

Hao Ting sat down on the chair next to her, looked at her and said, "Auntie, my name is Hao Ting, you can call me by my name."

"May I?"

Gu Xinjiu said this and looked in the direction of Song Yuntang.

This child is very smart and clever. He is very familiar with her and there is no awkwardness when they get along. She likes him very much.

Song Yuntang shook his head.

"Hao Ting only lets you call him by his name because he likes Jiu'er, and he has no objection. I always respect children's wishes, so of course I have no objection." Then he said, "I think the weather should be good tomorrow, so how about we make an appointment for tomorrow?"

Gu Xinjiu nodded.

"it is good."

Song Yuntang looked up and saw Xu Wencheng about to leave. He hurriedly called out, "Wencheng, where are you going?"

Xu Wencheng looked into the house.

"Let's go to the camp. Does my sister-in-law have any instructions?"

Song Yuntang pulled Gu Xinjiu up and said, "Jiu'er lives in the suburbs of Beijing. I'm worried that she won't be safe on the way back alone. Can you send her off for me?"

Gu Xinjiu waved her hands a little embarrassedly.

"No need. I always come and go like this. Nothing will happen. I won't bother General Xu."

Song Yuntang smiled and said, "It was peaceful before, but now it's hard to say. Jiuer, don't forget what we went through just two days ago."

Xu Wencheng also felt that he couldn't be careless.

After all, Gu Xinjiu has done a favor for our family, so there is nothing wrong in giving her a gift.

"I'm going out now, so I'll send Miss Gu home safely."

After saying this, he left the house first.

Seeing that Song Yuntang and Xu Wencheng had already made arrangements for her, Gu Xinjiu could not refuse any longer, so she bowed to Song Yuntang.

"Princess, Xinjiu will take her leave now."

Song Yuntang smiled and nodded.

"Walk slowly."

……

Li Shengnan and Jiang Yuan and several of his brothers followed Xu Wencheng to fight at the border for several years. Now that the war is over, they are still with Xu Wencheng, and their relationship is as good as that of brothers.

At this moment, several people were waiting for Xu Wencheng at the gate of the mansion. Seeing that he was not in a hurry to leave after getting on the horse, they couldn't help but ask.

"General, who else are we waiting for? Is the young master going to follow us again?"

Xu Wencheng shook his head lightly.

"not him."

After she finished speaking, Gu Xinjiu walked out of the house with her head slightly lowered. With the help of Linglan, she got into the carriage and did not dare to look in the direction of Xu Wencheng.

Xu Wencheng waited for her to get on the carriage for a while before speaking.

"Let's go to the outskirts of Beijing."

Li Shengnan, Jiang Yuan and several other brothers followed with surprise on their faces.

"General, what's going on? Why are you going to the outskirts of Beijing for no reason?"

Xu Wencheng uttered two words.

"Giving it away."

Someone glanced towards the carriage behind and said mischievously, "General, has your iron tree blossomed?"

Xu Wencheng glanced at him coldly.

"Don't talk nonsense. If you ruin the girl's reputation later, will you be responsible?"

The man raised his brow and sat up straight.

"A rich lady wouldn't look down on a rough guy like me."

“It’s good to be self-aware.”

Along the way, Xu Wencheng didn't say anything.

Li Shengnan looked silently at Xu Wencheng in front of him, then looked at the carriage behind him, wondering what he was thinking in his heart.

Gu Xinjiu sat in the carriage without saying a word, and did not dare to lift the curtain to look outside, for fear that it would be awkward to meet the eyes of the young general.

She couldn't help but wonder what the princess's intention was in asking General Xu to send her home.

After two contacts, General Xu is indeed a good person. He acts decisively and knows how to consider her reputation. Most importantly, he has a devoted brother.

According to the Xu family's tradition, after he gets married in the future, he will most likely not have concubines.

All in all, he is indeed a good choice.

It’s just that Dad seems to have some prejudice against military officers.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard Xu Wencheng's voice coming from outside the carriage.

"Miss Gu, we're here."

Gu Xinjiu lifted the curtain of the carriage, got off the carriage with the help of the maid, and bowed to Xu Wencheng.

"Thank you, General Xu, for seeing me off."

"No problem, goodbye."

Xu Wencheng nodded and led everyone away.

In the yard, Mrs. Gu, who heard the noise, pushed open the gate and saw her daughter standing next to the carriage. She followed her gaze to the man in front of her, whose back she could only see, and suddenly said something.

"Everyone has gone far away, but you are still reluctant to come in?"

When Gu Xinjiu reacted, she felt her cheeks getting hot and she walked into the yard with her head slightly tilted.

Mrs. Gu sat at the table with a somewhat unhappy look on her face.

She poured herself a glass of water.

"He's here, but he didn't even say hello to me before leaving. This would allow me to see what my future son-in-law looks like. Even if there's no guarantee for the future, at least that face must be worth my daughter's lifelong bet. Otherwise, what's the point of him?"

As he said this, he drank some water with an awkward look on his face.

Gu Xinjiu was amused by Mrs. Gu's words.

"Mother, you're overthinking it. The princess was ambushed outside the city a few days ago, and she was worried that something might happen to her daughter on the way out of the Xu Mansion, so she entrusted General Xu to take her home. That's not what you think."

Mrs. Gu glanced at her with an expression of disappointment.

"What kind of person is the princess? To be adopted as a daughter by the Tang family and valued by His Majesty, how could she be an ordinary person? Why do you think she gave you such a big gift yesterday?"

She put the cup back on the table.

"It's because you went to her Xu family today."
