Chapter 288 Promotion
Gu Wan'er was very sad to lose her mother, although she knew that her mother didn't love her, but in the end she was her mother.
At any time, the injury of outsiders is not a big deal, only the mending knife of a loved one is the most painful, and the pain enters the bone marrow.
Li Yu naturally understood her mood and specially called Wan'er.
"Sister, I'm in a bit of a hurry, the workshop needs someone to keep an eye on it, by the way, you can help me draw some patterns, the embroidery workshop and the workshop need fresh things to stand still, you can help my sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er curtsied, "Sister-in-law, even though she orders, I'm fine." ”
She showed a wry smile, understanding that her sister-in-law really cared for her, and was afraid that she would think crookedly in the house alone, so she taught her skills.
Li Yu pulled her to sit beside her, touched her little face that had lost a lot of weight, her cheekbones were bulging, and in less than half a month, the child had lost a lot of weight, and her bones were all gone.
"I don't know what to say, I've also lost my most important relative, I know how hard that pain is, I think she hurt you at the last moment, let it go, we're juniors, forget it!"
Gu Wan'er threw herself into her arms, choked up and whimpered, and didn't say a word.
Li Yu hugged her like this, gently stroked her back, and gave her silent support and comfort.
Looking up again, Gu Wan'er showed a strong smile with red circles in her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, I will learn clan affairs with you, I will not marry, stay in the Gu family, the Gu family will support me, now the family needs people, I can read and read and count, and I can also help you and your eldest brother calculate accounts and run errands."
"Sister-in-law, I'm too timid to marry, I'm afraid of being angry, sister-in-law, don't dislike me for being vulgar and stupid, I'm willing to learn how to ......"
Gu Wan'er has made up her mind to join the family, and she will stay in the Gu family for the rest of her life to contribute, and the child will also have the surname Gu.
Li Yu took a deep breath and nodded vigorously, "If you have to endure hardship, you are not afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, I have to support my father, and I can work without burdening my brother and sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er still had tears on her eyelashes, and she was still strong in the face of her.
"Okay, this is what I should look like as a tiger girl, I will arrange for you to take over the affairs of our mansion, so that the third aunt can cultivate her body well, she is too tired, I will teach you to learn clan affairs later, follow me to do some workshops, and contribute to the clan to earn face."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
Gu Wan'er nodded vigorously and wiped her tears, she was so strong that it made people feel distressed.
"Good sister, don't be afraid, when the sky falls, you still have your brother and sister-in-law to support you, your surname is Gu, the Gu family will not fall down, you will always have a waist pole, be tough."
Li Yu raised his chin, his eyes full of warmth and strength.
"Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law...... That's nice. ”
Gu Wan'er said this with tears in her eyes.
"Fool, don't think that if you praise me, you don't have to work, you have to take care of the work at home, you have to take care of the elderly, all your bodies are crispy, and you can't stand the worry and tiredness."
"I remember."
Li Yu arranged for Gu Wan'er before leaving for the Grange, Gu Ping returned to the barracks, and she had to watch the sons and daughters train.
Gu Lei came back in the afternoon, turned around, and his daughter-in-law was not there, so he went to his grandfather's place to have a look.
The family is here, and several girls from the clan are also talking and playing with the old man and his aunts, and the house is a lot more lively and popular.
"It's all here, just having dinner together, and I'm back with sauce duck."
"Looks like there's something good."
The third aunt squeezed her eyes at her grandfather and smiled.
"Yu'er hasn't come back yet?"
"No, Zhuangzi went to training, saying that he was going to ride and shoot in the next few days, it seems that he was going to train in the woods and come back later."
"It's not promising, I'll find your daughter-in-law first when I enter the door, and I'm anxious if I can't see you for a moment."
Grandpa Gu glared at his grandson.
"Excuse me, grandpa, I've been promoted."
Gu Lei smiled and shared the good news with everyone, I wanted to come back and tell my daughter-in-law as soon as possible, but unfortunately she was not there.
"Oh, for what?"
Gu Lin also raised his head happily.
"The embankment is almost repaired, there is only a little tail work left, basically done, a few years have spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, the work is done beautifully, His Royal Highness is very satisfied, I have been involved in the whole process in the past few years, and His Royal Highness gave me a promotion yesterday, and I was promoted to a five-rank officer in the military department to replace the old general."
Promoted to the next level, it is also because of the good work in the past few years, down-to-earth, the work is very trivial, especially the river embankment, which is very important, he did a very good job, and saved His Highness a lot of money.
Including the surrounding refugees, he also has work, has money to earn, and gradually lives and works in peace and contentment, and does both sides very well, showing his outstanding talent and pragmatic style and conduct.
is still working under the squire of the military department, and his official position has been promoted, and he will be responsible for more things in the future, and he will have more authority to speak.
Grandpa Gu was very happy, it was rare to show a smiling face, this is the child and grandson who got up step by step, and he was worthy of his pride.
"This time you did a good job, but you are not allowed to your tail, do a good job, without your father-in-law to support you, you would not be where you are today."
This is the truth, Grandpa Gu doesn't speak for him, which veterans will look at his face, and more to give Boss Li face, and finally he does a good job, low-key and humble, pragmatic and capable, and has excellent talents, so that the old generals will take the initiative to promote him and protect him in front of His Royal Highness the Night King.
"It's a great thing, go and let people clean up a table, let's have a drink, go and let people see when Yu'er will come back, our family should celebrate, our old Gu family is here."
Gu Lin clapped her hands happily, her son is promising, she has worked hard in the past few years, she saw it in her eyes, and finally saw the light, and her heart was especially open.
As he was talking, Li Yu came back in a leather armor uniform, and came to greet his grandfather as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, why are you so happy, what good things did I miss?"
No matter how late and tired she was from training, she had to come back to see the old people and elders before going back to rest.
Knowing that the children work hard, no matter how late it is, the elders will wait for her to come back before going to sleep.
"Your master has been promoted, Wupin, and he is still working in the military department."
The third aunt said to her with a happy face.
"Yes, I'm so happy, you've given our parents face."
Li Yu also raised his eyebrows in surprise and extended his thumbs to him.
Gu Lei smiled happily, and his daughter-in-law praised him, which made him happy more than any reward.
"Daughter-in-law, take out your good wine, and let us have a drink."
"Okay, go and call a few uncles and old men to come over."
"I'm going to call someone."
The clan sister went to call people as soon as possible.
"Grandpa, Gu Lei was promoted, is he going to prepare for war?"
"Not for the time being, but it's coming soon, you have to make all kinds of preparations, you have to know in your heart."
Grandpa Gu smiled and nodded.
"I know, I'll go back and freshen up first, prepare a few good dishes, and don't forget the vegetarian food we ate."
Gu Wan'er and Gu Lin are vegetarians, one is filial piety, and the other believes in Buddhism.
"You go and wash up, I've got you."
The third aunt waved at her.
