Mrs. Gu couldn't help but feel happy.

Her sister-in-law has been very lucky since she was a child. She is loved by everyone and gets along well with those noble people. I think this girl Wei Jiu is also the handkerchief of sister-in-law.

Mrs. Gu smiled so hard that deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, and ordered Bai Lu: "Go and tell Sister Kuang quickly and ask her to come over quickly."

Then Mrs. Gu said to Mr. Wang with a smile: "Sister Kuang is so lovable and blessed." It was also Wang's good fortune that Sister Kuang's son was adopted into the name of Mr. Wang.

Wang was about to chime in with a few words when she saw Bai Lu explain with a subtle expression: "Mrs. Wei, Miss Wei Jiu is here to see the second girl of Yuhengyuan. She has already passed." She was in "Yuhengyuan" specially.

The emphasis on the three words indicates that the girl from Duke Wei's mansion is here to visit Gu Yanfei.

What?! Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang were shocked again and looked at each other.

Mrs. Gu was filled with doubts. For a moment, she wondered if she had heard wrongly.

Gu Yanfei had only been to Prince Jing's Mansion once in less than two months after coming to the capital. Apart from a pretty face, she had no talent, no virtue, and was mediocre. How could a daughter of the majestic Duke Wei's Mansion be so humble?

How dare you deal with a wild girl like Gu Yanfei?!

Putting aside the doubts in her mind, Mrs. Gu hurriedly issued a series of instructions: "Hurry up and take out my jar of good Longjing tea, and ask the kitchen to quickly prepare some snacks that the girl likes to entertain Wei Jiu later.

girl."

"Bai Lu, prepare a new set of clothes for me..."

Aunt Li, Bai Lu and the other maids hurried down to prepare, and Cihe Hall suddenly became busy.

Mrs. Gu sighed again to Mrs. Wang: "Xinwen, originally I was worried that you and the Marquis would not be able to enter the Duke's Mansion. Now that the Wei family girl is here, this is a great opportunity."

"With Miss Wei Jiu's help, even if you can't meet Duke Wei, you can always meet the Crown Prince's wife."

Because of the arrival of Miss Wei Jiu, Mrs. Gu suddenly had the feeling of parting the clouds and seeing the sun. She was in a good mood and changed into a new and luxurious clothes, and matched it with a set of jewelry and forehead wiping.

Bring Miss Wei Jiu to Cihe Hall to say hello to her.

As a result, she waited and waited, but no one came.

After waiting for half an hour, Mrs. Gu felt a little tired, so she sent Bai Lu to Yuhengyuan to have a look.

Not wanting to, Bai Lu reported back: "Miss Wei Jiu went out with the second girl."

Mrs. Gu's face froze, but she still held a glimmer of hope in her heart and asked dryly: "Where to go?"

Maybe she went out because of something important. Mrs. Gu comforted herself in her heart.

Bai Lu answered bravely: "I heard from the people in Yuhengyuan that Miss Wei Jiu wanted to go to Daqing Street to see the sideshows from the Western Regions. The second girl said that the beauties from the Western Regions are all blond and blue-eyed, and they are more beautiful than the sideshows. They,

So they went together."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Mrs. Gu's head.

The temperature in Dongji Room dropped suddenly, and it was so cold that it seemed to freeze people to death.

This is impossible!

"..." Mrs. Gu's hand was unsteady, and the tea cup in her hand trembled slightly. The hot tea overflowed the edge of the cup, making the back of her hand turn red.

Gu Yanfei rode out on the sweaty horse given by Mrs. Wei Guo. He and Miss Wei Jiu rode around the city for a day, and then returned to their respective mansions.

When Gu Yanfei returned to Dingyuan Hou Mansion at the beginning of Shen Dynasty, in addition to the riding whip, he also carried a big bow. He was full of energy and looked like a handsome man wearing a bright dress and an angry horse.

The tall and majestic red horse screamed "Hui Hui" and paced briskly with its four hooves, as if it still had something to say.

"Girl, your bow looks so beautiful." Juan Bi diligently took the bow that Gu Yanfei brought back and looked at it curiously.

This was a jet-black horn bow. The bow was five feet long, almost as tall as Juanbi, which made her look particularly petite. The silver bowstring sparkled in the sunlight.

"It's a good bow!" Gu Yanfei praised happily with a smile, leaping down from the high horseback, as light as a flying swallow, "Jiao Niang made an agreement with me, we will go hunting together in a few days, you are also ready

Prepare."

The conversation between the master and the servant also reached the ears of Nanny Li who was not far away. Nanny Li tightened her handkerchief and was secretly shocked: The second girl seemed to be very close to Miss Wei Jiu.

"Second Miss," Grandma Li calmed down, stepped forward with her legs that were a little stiff from standing for a long time, walked forward with a smile on her face, and said blessedly, "Madam, please come to Cihe Hall."

"Is something wrong?" Gu Yanfei glanced at Nanny Li lightly, and plucked the bowstring casually with her slender fingers.

The silver bowstring vibrated gently and hummed.

Nanny Li felt as if her heart had been plucked, and her attitude towards Gu Yanfei became more solemn and she said: "The eldest young master is here too."

Big brother is back!! Gu Yanfei, who was still a bit lazy at first, suddenly perked up and smiled in surprise, her delicate little face blooming with a dazzling light that was hard to look at.

"Juan Bi, settle down Hongyu."

Gu Yanfei casually threw the reins of the red horse to Juan Bi, and went to Cihe Hall with Grandma Li.

The weather today is very good, the sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue and clear, and a few sparrows are chirping occasionally.

Gu Yanfei also wished she had wings and could walk briskly.

Along the way, Nanny Li said a few words to Gu Yanfei with some hint of goodwill. For example, the eldest young master had just come back before a stick of incense, and she had not notified the government beforehand. For example, the eldest young master seemed to have grown a lot taller.

, it’s also dark, for example, Mr. Hou is also in Cihetang...

Everyone in Cihe Hall knew that Mrs. Tai was waiting for the second girl. From the moment Gu Yanfei entered the courtyard, the entire journey was smooth.

When I walked to the door curtain leading to the Dongci Room, I heard Mrs. Gu's questioning voice coming from inside: "...Brother Yuan, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?"

Gu Yanfei opened the door curtain himself and walked in casually.

The sound of the door curtain being lifted attracted Mrs. Gu, Gu Jian and Gu Yuan in the Dongci room to look at her.

"Sister!" Gu Yuan stood up from the armchair in a hurry.

The originally stern young man's expression softened in an instant, and he looked at Gu Yanfei with burning eyes.

Today, Gu Yanfei is wearing a light yellow dress embroidered with peony flowers. This is a slim-fitting Hufu, which makes her tall and slender, and makes her look full of energy.

Gu Yuan stared at Gu Yanfei without blinking.

One month ago, my sister was as thin as a bamboo, her face was faintly sallow, and her complexion was not good.

After not seeing each other for a month, my sister has become more beautiful, taller, and her overall complexion has improved.

Her eyes are like stars, her skin is like jade, and her cheeks are like flying stars.

She is like a delicate flower that is half-open and half-awaited, gradually blooming in the sunshine...

The corners of Gu Yuan's lips raised little by little, and he couldn't bear to blink as he watched Gu Yanfei walking towards him.

"Sister, sit here." Gu Yuan pulled Gu Yanfei to sit down on the armchair next to him, looked her up and down again, and then felt relieved: just like Wutong said, my sister has not suffered a loss in the Hou Mansion these days.

Gu Yanfei was also sizing up Gu Yuan. Just like what Granny Li said, Gu Yuan is taller and darker.

When he held her left hand just now, she could clearly feel the rough calluses on his palm, and she could also feel the vitality exuding from his body.

Her brother is still following in his father's footsteps as he was in his previous life.

Gu Yanfei smiled brightly, her brows soft.

Mrs. Gu, who was sitting on the Kang, looked at the brother and sister quietly, her eyes deep, and Grandma Li's low whisper came to her ears.

Hearing that Gu Yanfei was going hunting with Miss Wei Jiu, Mrs. Gu's eyes changed. She was a little more surprised, a little confused, and a little different.

After settling his sister, Gu Yuan remembered to answer Mrs. Gu's question just now: "Grandma, I just received a transfer order from the Ministry of War today. I have been transferred back to the capital and will be transferred to Shenji Camp."

The Shenji Camp was founded by Emperor Taizu and was one of the three major battalions of the Forbidden Army. It specialized in handling various firearms and was often guarded in the palace and the eastern coastal area.

Just like the Jinyi Guards, the Shenji Battalion is directly responsible to the emperor and can be called the emperor's personal guard.

"This is great news." Mrs. Gu was surprised and happy.

Gu Jian blurted out in shock: "Really?"

He clenched his fists unconsciously, his pupils narrowed, and his eyes showed a little caution.

"The transfer order will take effect today, and I will be promoted from Qianzong to Qianhu." Gu Yuan said slowly, without arrogance or arrogance, his arrogance as thick as frost.

Qian Zong was a sixth-grade military attache, and Qianhu was a fifth-grade official. Gu Yuan's transfer order surpassed that of the fifth-grade military officer, which can be regarded as a jump of two levels in a row.

Besides, everyone knows the importance of the Shenji Camp. Gu Yuan was transferred from the Xishan Camp to the Shenji Camp and was promoted to another level invisibly.

His promotion this time can be said to be a meteoric rise, which is different from that of the fifth-grade Qianhu in the Shenji Camp. It means that he has officially entered the emperor's field of vision, and his future will be bright.

Gu Jian expressionlessly picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the coffee table, brought it to her lips, put it down again, and asked again: "Brother Yuan, how come you were suddenly promoted? This is too sudden."

As we all know, promotion in the military is either based on kindness or military merit.

In the nearly one year since Jinshang ascended the throne, Gu Yuan has not made any outstanding military achievements. As for the Japanese pirates Gu Yuan killed when the late emperor was in power the year before last, they were just a few escaped bandits that he happened to miss.

How could Gu Yuan and He De get such an important position?!

"I don't know either." Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, he was also puzzled.

Before today, everything about him in the army was as usual. Until this morning, Shangfeng suddenly called him over, gave him this transfer order, and congratulated him. What he said was unprecedented.

Very affectionate.

Gu Yuan told the truth, but it was obvious that Gu Jian didn't believe it, so he continued to ask: "Brother Yuan, there is no free lunch in the world, why didn't you ask Shangfeng?"

Gu Yuanfeng raised his eyes sideways and glanced at Gu Jian coldly. Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, he didn't bother to say anything more.

Next to him, Gu Yanfei was sipping tea leisurely, with the corners of her lips slightly raised behind the tea cup.

She roughly guessed that this was a thank you from Duke Wei.
