Hearing this, Li Yanpin's expression was gloomy, and the expression on his delicate cheeks was indifferent, and he sighed faintly and said, "Your father went to take care of the shop early in the morning. ”

Although the Gu family is not a famous family, they are also well-known Gu Jinkang is a well-known trader, and he often sells some objects from the Western Regions to pay tribute to the emperor.

Because Chu Jing is sake, Gu Mingzhu is the daughter of the Gu family, so Gu Jinkang also showed his face in front of the emperor.

He often gave all the objects in the Western Regions to the palace, so Gu Jinkang often went to the palace when he came and went.

He felt very proud of this matter, and managed several shops in the market, and the Gu family was getting more and more prosperous.

Seeing Li Yanpin's low sigh, Gu Mingzhu asked in surprise, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

I had never seen Li Yanpin so worried, which made Gu Mingzhu feel a bad premonition in her heart.

At this time, Li Yanpin was no longer interested in continuing to eat, she sighed leisurely and said: "Recently, the border Xiongnu came to attack and robbed the goods that your father transported. ”

"What?" Gu Mingzhu's eyes widened in horror, and she asked worriedly, "Is that father okay?" ”

The frontier Xiongnu are the most barbaric and vulgar, and if the Central Plains people are captured, they will definitely not come back alive.

Thinking of these, Gu Mingzhu's eyes were full of worry.

Li Yanpin breathed a sigh of relief, and she said comfortingly: "Fortunately, your father is fine." ”

"It's just that those truckloads of goods have been taken away by the Huns, but I'm afraid they won't come back." Li Yanpin said regretfully, with a worried look on her delicate cheeks.

At this time, Gu Mingzhu's face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise: "Now the Huns have been rampant to this extent?" ”

I saw Li Yanpin bowing his head slightly to express his acquiescence, and said softly and complainingly: "Zhu'er doesn't know, your father is busy tidying up the store these days, and rarely has time to go home." ”

"When my daughter goes back, I will tell the general about this matter." Gu Mingzhu said in a firm tone, she categorically would not allow anyone to hurt her family.

Hearing this, Li Yanpin waved his hand again and again and said: "No, the military is busy with government affairs and can he hurt his mind for this little thing?" ”

"But if my mother didn't tell the general the truth, how would she know that the Huns were coming?" Gu Mingzhu said word by word, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Li Yanping bowed his head slightly to express his acquiescence, and said with a relieved face: "With the general who loves you so much, my mother will be content." ”

Hearing what Li Yanpin was saying, Gu Mingzhu did not refute in a hurry, she smiled charmingly and said: "Mother, what are you talking about, the general will naturally treat Zhu'er well." ”

Mother and daughter after dinner.

It was not early outside the window, and Qiao'er ordered someone to prepare the carriage, so she walked over with broken steps, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it's getting late, you should go home." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu said goodbye to Li Yanpin, and then turned around and got into the carriage.

Back to the General's Palace.

At this moment, Chu Jing was having dinner in the front hall, and a slave came to report that Gu Mingzhu had returned home.

Before Chu Jing could go to find Gu Mingzhu, she came alone.

"Zhu'er has seen the general." Gu Mingzhu stepped on broken steps, walked into the main courtyard with a leisurely expression, and saluted Chu Jing slightly.

At this moment, Chu Jing was enjoying the dinner slowly, without raising his eyes to look at Gu Mingzhu, and said with thin lips: "Why did you go home so late?" ”

At this time, a touch of cunning flashed in Gu Mingzhu's eyes, and he smiled playfully: "Zhu'er went back to Gu's house." ”

Then she walked in front of Chu Jing with broken steps, serving left and right.

The corners of the man's thin mouth opened slightly: "Have you ever had dinner?" ”

"Back to the general, Zhu'er will come back so late after dinner." Gu Mingzhu said eloquently, looking at Chu Jing with beautiful eyes.

However, Chu Jing's eyes flashed slightly, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

But Gu Mingzhu immediately picked up a silk handkerchief and sent it to Chu Jing, smiling happily.

Chu Jingjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, slowly took the silk handkerchief in Gu Mingzhu's hand, wiped the corners of his mouth, and asked coldly, "Are you okay?" ”

Usually, Gu Mingzhu has never been as attentive to Chu Jing as he is today, unless he has something to ask for.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes rolled in his sockets, a sly look appeared on his delicate cheeks, and he said with a smile: "General Zhu'er also makes a cup of tea for you, please go to Zhu'er's side room." ”

This kind of flattery made Chu Jing feel slightly dumbfounded, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said softly: "Hmm." ”

Seeing that Chu Jing agreed so refreshingly, Gu Mingzhu coughed lightly and said, "Then Zhu'er will go to the wing room and wait for the arrival of General He." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled shyly at Chu Jing, turned around and walked towards his room.

But she didn't know that Chu Jing had already noticed the cunning look in her eyes, Chu Jing got up slowly, and did not go directly to Gu Mingzhu's room, but went directly to the study.

Cloud pool waited in front of the door.

Gu Mingzhu, who had been staying in the wing, had not seen Chu Jing come for a long time, she was suddenly a little anxious, and her delicate cheeks were dyed with a complicated expression.

She walked around in her thoughts and seemed a little restless, muttering to herself, "Why is the distance still coming?" ”

Qiao'er, who was waiting on the side, stared at Gu Mingzhu with round apricot eyes and watched Gu Mingzhu walk around, she pouted and said, "Miss, if you walk around again, the slaves and maids will be dizzy by you." ”

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu asked in a deep voice: "You go to the front yard and ask why the general is still in the future?" ”

She was still waiting to discuss something important with Chu Jing.

At this time, Qiao'er looked embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Miss, don't worry, the general said that he would come." ”

"Miss Ben tells you to go, and you go." Gu Mingzhu said coquettishly, with a look of relief on her delicate cheeks.

Seeing this, Qiao'er didn't dare to delay, and immediately turned around and retreated.

When she went and returned, Gu Mingzhu sat at the round table, and drank cup after cup of tea in her hand.

"Miss, the general's man is in the study." Qiao'er stepped into the wing room with broken steps, and saluted Gu Mingzhu and said.

Hearing this, Gu Mingzhu's eyebrows frowned, and her delicate cheeks looked relieved, and she said suspiciously: "What is this Chu Jing doing?" ”

"But you ordered a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup to be prepared in the small kitchen." Gu Mingzhu commanded softly, since Chu Jing refused to come to her, then she would visit him in person.

"Yes."

Qiao'er retreated when she heard this.

Outside the window, it was dark and dreary, and there was a faint shout of a watchman on the street.

A slender figure walked in the corridor, Gu Mingzhu walked with broken steps, and Qiao'er followed behind him with a food box in her hand.

The two of them rushed towards the opposite side of the study.

Yun Chi saw Gu Mingzhu coming, and hurriedly saluted, "The slave has seen Miss." ”

"Get out of the way." Gu Mingzhu said unceremoniously, and walked into the wing.
