Chapter 145: The Beginning of the Northern Expedition

The old man, who had been happy all night, suddenly felt uncomfortable again, and Gu Chen had to come forward to comfort the old man.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I am your grandson, and I will be able to go out and win glory for the ancestors of the Gu family like you. If grandpa is worried about me, don't get better soon, go to your old subordinate's house and sit down, invite them to come to the house for a light meal, and take care of the grandchildren more. ”

With the encouragement of his grandson, Old Man Gu is really getting better day by day.

Gu Yao looked for a gap and asked Gu Chen: "Big brother, have you thought about it?" ”

In the spring, next to the old tree that had just shown new teeth, Gu Chen's smile was as pure as the day he first saw it, and he said, "Well, this is the only choice for the eldest brother." He is my father, I am the eldest son, this is my responsibility and my opportunity. Fifth sister, don't worry about me, and don't persuade me. ”

"I don't understand the big brother's choice." Gu Yao pursed his lips, changed his words, and said, "But since the eldest brother has decided, I will support the eldest brother." Uncle has to follow the army no matter what he does, and at most he won't go to the battlefield. Wu Anhou always has to say that when my father went to Zheng's house, my eldest brother went with me. My father saw the Hou Ye, and we went to see the son. Northern Expedition, the prince will also go, at that time, big brother, you go all the way with the prince. ”

"Well, I heard from the second uncle, when you were in Liaodong, you were recognized as a granddaughter by Baoding Hou, and you also got acquainted with the third master of the Zheng family. As an elder brother, I have to borrow my sister's light. ”

Gu Yao understood in seconds, and hurriedly said: "I'll go and ask Uncle Eleventh for this letter." Uncle Eleven is the youngest son of Grandpa Meng, and several of their brothers went. Big brother rest assured, Uncle Eleven is not very old, but he is very reliable. ”

Such a wise sister made Gu Chen sigh for a while, and he smiled: "Although I don't have this intention, but my sister insists on doing this, my brother will reluctantly bear it." ”

The fifth sister becomes a younger sister, the eldest brother becomes an elder brother, if you treat each other sincerely, I will return your sincerity, Gu Chen, is such a simple person.

Gu Yao was even more distracted when he was busy, seeing Zheng Shizi, he couldn't take care of Zheng Zhi and Gu Chen, Gu Yao said straight to the point: "Lord Shizi, did you still count what you said before?" ”

Zheng Zhizheng stared at his future brother-in-law, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what did you say?" ”

Zheng Shizi looked at his brother's words and deeds, and asked instead of answering: "I heard that you have been short of money recently?" ”

Zheng Zhi immediately stood up.

Zheng Shizi didn't embarrass him, but said: "Go find your sister-in-law, she prepared some silver for you." ”

Gu Yao suddenly scolded Zheng Zhi angrily: "Isn't it stupid!" Why don't you tell me if you don't have any money? If you can open a store for one thousand taels and two thousand taels, why should you be wronged? ”

Zheng Zhi, who was scolded, blushed, and wanted to refute it, but Gu Yao's sentence "Why do you want to be wronged" calmed him down. The young man had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to blame Zheng Shizi angrily: "Okay, I'll go to my sister-in-law." If the silver is less, I will definitely come back to the eldest brother to make up for it! ”

Zheng Shizi didn't stop him, he looked at his younger brother with a smile, and until he disappeared, he put away his smile and replied to Gu Yao: "Gu Yao, you remember." What I say will not change unless you change it yourself. ”

Gu Yao immediately showed his face and said with a smile: "When Big Brother Shizi says this, I am relieved." Come, let me introduce you, this is my eldest brother. When you arrive in northern Xinjiang, you can ask the eldest brother of the prince. ”

Zheng Shizi understood what she meant, looked at Gu Chen, and responded, but said, "Gu Yao, you'd better stay the same." ”

Otherwise, how can I bring your brother on the road to glory, how will I destroy your Gu family.

Gu Chen, a young man who has a love for his cousin when he is young, plus Gu Yao and Zheng Shizi did not hide it, he naturally saw the strangeness between Gu Yao and Zheng Zhi. After leaving the East Courtyard, Gu Chen saw that there was no one around, and asked Gu Yao in a low voice: "Does the second uncle know about this?" ”

Gu Yao didn't react at first, until Gu Chen reminded him, and then he blushed and said, "I don't know." However, although there is a lot difference between our two families, I believe in Zheng Shizi, and he said that he can do it. ”

At this time, Taikang is already full of spring, but Shuntianfu is only green. The courtyard of the Zheng family is different from the outside, and the courtyard is full of dark green. Only this one place knows the glory and wealth of the Zheng family. At this time, the Gu family still rented a house to live.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, then exhaled the turbid breath in his chest, and said, "The eldest brother will work hard to shorten the gap between the two families, so that the younger sister has something to rely on." ”

Gu Yao smiled playfully and asked rhetorically: "Isn't the eldest brother working hard for the sake of the sister-in-law, the eldest aunt, and the little nephew?" ”

"Naturally, for them, it's okay to add a sister's share."

Gu Chen's positive feedback came too quickly, and Gu Yao subconsciously didn't dare to believe it. While feeling stunned in his heart, Gu Yao bit his lip and smiled, and said, "That big brother has worked hard." ”

Gu Chen saw her uneasiness in his eyes, and wondered in his heart. This cousin, who is only eleven or twelve years old, has made a private life behind her family's back, and she should not be a shy person. So, what is it that the little girl is uncomfortable with at this moment? Some young people who are petty utilitarian are inexperienced and have never found themselves too obvious.

The Northern Expedition was imminent, and when the army was in place, the grain and grass were also coming to an end.

The Northern Expedition was more troublesome than elsewhere in that there were very few granaries in the north, and the grain and grass that could be adjusted were limited. The grain south of Shandong will not arrive until a month or two later. Yongle will not wait for him to do so, everyone will go north directly, and the follow-up grain and grass will be handed over to the follow-up people.

For the sake of his eldest grandson, Old Man Gu really struggled and walked three or five households.

Aunt Chen became jealous, and Master Gu sang against her for the first time. First, no matter how Gu Chen comes, he is his eldest son, and besides, he has no face to vinegar. He got the job of escorting grain and grass in the territory, and although he was tired, he had no worries about his life. The eldest son, but he was waiting for the vanguard army on the battlefield, and he still relied on his own ability to enter the vanguard army all the way.

Recently, her son has been disobedient and always messing with himself, Aunt Chen's heart is not happy, and when she saw that the eldest master was silent, she was immediately annoyed, and said angrily: "Uncle is not for the master, the old lady can say that his military position is for the uncle." ”

"It doesn't matter what my dad said." At the mention of this, Master Gu was proud, because he said, "The third brother said, if you give your son to your grandson, Your Majesty will not agree." You just stay steadfast, and the good days of your mother and mother are ahead. ”

What a fart! Aunt Chen scolded in her heart.

The matter of the family going north has been decided, the steward has already looked at the house, and at the latest at the end of the year, the two rooms of the Gu family will settle down in Shuntian Mansion. At that time, a large family, the old lady, the main wife, and the eldest daughter-in-law are all here, and she has a good life? Ghosts don't believe it.

Compared with men, a pair of children is their own support. To be precise, his son is the hope for the rest of his life. The son is difficult to support one-armed, at this time, he needs a good son-in-law to help, and the daughter's family affairs must be cautious.

endured it, Aunt Chen made a happy appearance, because she said: "Manniang believes in the master." There is only one thing, I am careful to be in June and Xu, and the family affairs have not yet been decided. The third lady knows a lot of people, and the old man opened his mouth to let the third lady bother to talk about family affairs for Jin'er, okay? ”

Master Gu had no chance to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet. However, he shook a little wit and told Gu Yushi, and Gu Yushi responded. After going home, Xie and his husband slept in separate rooms for half a month, which is a matter of the future, and other people's private affairs, so I will not show it for the time being.

On February Bingchen of the eighth year of Yongle, Emperor Yongle started the first Northern Expedition.
