Chapter 109: Gu Family Baby
Because of the female dependents, as well as the relatively weak logistics personnel, plus the victory in the battle, it took a full twenty days to arrive in the capital.
The capital was originally in the north, and by the time they arrived, it had already begun to snow.
Ah Xiu has lived in the south in his previous life and in this life, and he was still a little excited when he saw such thick snow for the first time.
It's just that that little excitement was blown by the cold wind, and it disappeared without a trace.
The people of the capital received the news early in the morning, and when Gu Jingling's army entered the city gate, they found a large number of people standing on the side of the road in the wind and snow to welcome them.
"The people of the capital are so enthusiastic." Ah Xiu glanced outside and immediately shrank back, because she was not fully prepared, she didn't have a few thick clothes at all, and now she was wearing Pei Yan's old clothes.
Fortunately, she is small, so she can wear anyone.
Before she came, she was still nervous, as a southerner, how could she be afraid of the dry and cold in the north, but after arriving, she found that the place she used to stay in was warm in winter and cool in summer, and the winter there was not comparable to the winter in the capital.
"Sister Axiu, don't you want to take a look, you see that the snow on the ground over there has been swept away, and if you have a chance to come out, there are all trinkets and snacks sold here." Pei Yan gently lifted a small corner and pointed to one place and said.
"Let's wait for the weather to get warmer, Sister Pei, you quickly close the curtain." Ah Xiu said as he pulled his clothes tighter.
"If you have the chance, follow the eldest lady to fight for a while every morning. The body is immediately doubly great, what are you afraid of in this cold wind! Pei Yan said with a smile.
Don't look at her delicate appearance, but because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, her physical fitness is very good, and this day, she is just wearing a red jacket skirt.
And Ah Xiu has already wrapped himself tightly in three layers and three layers outside.
"It's almost time to get to the General's Mansion." Gu Yi said outside, and after answering inside, he rode away again.
"Young Master, you're finally back." Arrived at the fork in the road. Several of the generals went home separately. Gu Jingling took his guards and A Xiu back to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
"Are Mom and Dad in the house?" Gu Jingling dismounted and handed over the treading waves to the little guy.
"The old lady is waiting for you in the house, and even the old lady got up early in the morning today." The housekeeper said with a smile, because the young master and young lady were not at home before. The house suddenly became dull.
Now they know that they are coming back. The backyard of this kitchen has been busy since three days ago.
"Is Grandma there too?" Gu Jinrong, who was in the carriage, heard that the old lady was also there. immediately jumped down, followed by Pei Yan and Ah Xiu.
Steward Gu didn't pay much attention to Gu Jinrong and Pei Yan when he saw them, he knew that they were escorting the grain and grass. But who is the ball behind them?
"The old lady has been waiting in the warm pavilion for a while, so you can go over as soon as you arrive." Although Steward Gu's eyes were always aimed at Ah Xiu, it did not affect him in the slightest to answer Gu Jinrong's question.
"Then I'll go over first, Yan'er, you take Ah Xiu to change clothes." After Gu Jinrong finished speaking, he ran away all of a sudden.
General Zhenguo and his wife have a very good relationship, the two have only three children in total, two boys and one girl, and Gu Jinrong is the eldest daughter.
Below them, there is also Gu Xiaobao, who is fifteen years younger than them, only three years old this year, white and fat, and is the little baby of the Gu family.
Because both of them thought that their eldest son and eldest daughter had sacrificed a lot for the country, this younger son was pampered like this.
Even the names are not ranked according to generation.
And there are no extra female dependents in the mansion of the general of Zhenguo, the general of Zhenguo loves his wife like his life, and he was a war madman in his early years, so he has no other thoughts at all.
The old lady regretted that there were too few children in the house earlier, and pondered about collecting a warm bed for the general of Zhenguo, and giving birth to a few more to make her lively.
But because of their resolute attitude, she is not an aggressive character, so she just did it.
And the grandson is excellent, the granddaughter is caring, and she is satisfied.
Now that she has a little grandson who will be coquettish in front of her every day, she is also pleased.
The people in the entire Zhenguo General's Mansion are informal, and it is no wonder that Gu Jingling's two sisters and brothers are so calm about their situation left behind.
"Sister Axiu, come with me." Pei Yan held up an oil-paper umbrella and asked Ah Xiu to hide underneath, looking at her cold and shivering appearance, the more she opened it, the more she looked like a pitiful little rabbit.
As soon as Ah Xiu got out of the carriage, he realized that most of the people were gone.
Especially his father and Dr. Tang, they are gone.
There was a little more uneasiness in her heart, but now she didn't know who to ask.
followed Pei Yan to her house, because they were coming back today, and the house was burned with carbon early in the morning, and the whole room was warm.
Ah Xiu stood inside for a while, feeling that the whole person was alive again.
I felt a little depressed just now, and my mood was a lot better, anyway, she was here, she didn't believe that her father ran away like this!
"This is not yet Laba, you are so afraid of the cold now, what can you do in the future?" Pei Yan looked at Ah Xiu and was also a little worried.
And when she is going to enter the palace to see the nobleman, how rude it is to wrap her like a dumpling.
"Then don't go out." Ah Xiu patted his clothes and moved his body slightly.
Sure enough, she is still suitable for staying in that rural place, at least in the winter, she will not freeze herself into a dog.
Pei Yan sighed, only treating her as a child, and didn't take it to heart.
"These sets of clothes are all new, you will wear them first, and then invite the embroidery lady to come over and make you a few suitable ones after dinner." Pei Yan said that she took out several sets of clothes to give to Ah Xiu, many of which she loved.
"I'll just take one set, Sister Pei gave me all the clothes, don't I have new clothes to wear?" Ah Xiu only picked the most ordinary cyan skirt.
Pei Yan's most suitable color is red, and the color of the clothes she usually wears is also gaudy. This kind of light and light color is probably something she doesn't like very much.
Seeing that Ah Xiu picked the skirt he didn't like the most, Pei Yan felt even more unhappy in his heart, as if he had stuffed what he didn't like to someone else.
If she treats you as a friend, she is eager to share all the things she loves with you.
"This set is not good, you try this." Pei Yan picked out a pink one for her, this one she made in early spring, but she didn't have time to wear it in a hurry.
And the color of this dress is fresh and tender, which is very suitable for Ah Xiu's age.
"Okay then." Although the pink color made Ah Xiu feel a little uncomfortable, Pei Yan was so enthusiastic. She couldn't say no.
It's just that her clothes are still a lot bigger for Ah Xiu. Especially the length, the skirt is mopped up.
Originally, a beautiful skirt was worn by Ah Xiu because it didn't fit. It's completely gone.
Pei Yan looked at Ah Xiu's well-dressed appearance. Immediately frowned. Sure enough, it's still too big.
Especially the one on the chest, this empty ......
"If you don't mind, my mother still has my ten-year-old clothes. I look at the ...... it's just right" Pei Yan was a little hesitant, after all, those were old clothes.
But these new clothes don't fit.
"It's okay, it's good that Sister Pei can lend me clothes to wear." Ah Xiu smiled brightly, she didn't mind this.
"Then you wait for me, I'll go get the clothes." Pei Yan said and hurriedly ran out.
Pei Yan's mother came in with Mrs. Gu to marry back then, and later married the Gu family's bookkeeper under Mrs. Gu's arrangement.
And Gu Yi's mother is Pei Yan's father's cousin, so Pei Yan has always called Gu Yi's cousin.
As for Gu Yi's father, he was the guard of the general of Zhenguo, but later retired because of his injury and began to take care of internal affairs.
Pei Yan and Gu Yi grew up in the Zhenguo General's Mansion since they were children, and the people in the family also consciously cultivated them to become the cronies of Gu Jinrong and Gu Jingling.
Of course, this family affair was also decided early in the morning.
"Who are you, Sister Yan'er?" Not long after Pei Yan left, the door was opened, and Ah Xiu saw a small ball rolling in.
"Who are you?" Ah Xiu saw his tightly wrapped appearance, and suddenly could imagine what he had just looked.
"I'm Gu Xiaobao, what about Sister Yan'er?" Xiao Tuanzi asked persistently.
Because there are so many people surnamed Gu in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Ah Xiu didn't think much about it.
"Sister Pei is gone, why don't you come and sit and wait?" Ah Xiu said softly, this little ball is white and fat, which makes people look strange and want to pinch it.
"Why are you stealing Sister Yan'er's skirt?" The little guy's eyes were bright, and as soon as he looked at the clothes on Ah Xiu's body, he knew that it was not hers.
"She lent me a dress."
"You're so ugly!" Xiao Tuanzi unceremoniously told the truth.
In fact, Ah Xiu's skin is very white, just because of motion sickness, poor appetite, and she has been eating chili peppers, and there are two acne on some yellowed little faces.
Compared with a big beauty like Pei Yan, she is naturally ugly.
But being said by such a little kid, Ah Xiu still felt a little difficult to accept.
It's just that as a mature person, she is not very good at dealing with a child.
"Oh." Ah Xiu said silently.
Gu Xiaobao originally thought that she would definitely refute a few words, but she didn't expect her performance to be so bland, and she was suddenly a little overwhelmed.
After all, he was just a child, and he didn't respond so quickly.
The two of them stared at each other like this, and no one was talking at all.
When Pei Yan entered the door, he saw such a strange scene.
If you want to talk about Gu Xiaobao, it is definitely the biggest treasure in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, the whole house spoils him, and it is also thanks to his delicate and likable temperament, even the current Queen Mother likes to recruit him into the palace to play.
Because Pei Yan is often with Gu Jinrong, Gu Xiaobao is naturally extremely familiar with her. (To be continued......)
