In the past, he might have used the fact that the two of them were not yet married, but now...
The Ministry of Etiquette has even prepared the ceremony, and the marriage of the two has long been known throughout the court, and there is no possibility of change.
It is only reasonable for him to thank Yu Fu as his husband.
Tian Yunpo smiled dejectedly, still with the usual blunt mouth, "It won't be too late to thank me after you and His Majesty get married. Besides, the gift of a monarch and his ministers is like this. It is my duty to take care of Your Majesty."
"It's self-evident what an adult should do. I'm grateful for something else."
Gu Shubai took a few steps forward slowly, leaning sideways almost close to his ear, "For example, the puppet carefully carved by the lord, with a lifelike expression, Yufu likes it very much. Now she lives in that position and is used to seeing rare treasures. The intention of making it makes her more happy, and makes her boring political life a little fun."
He even knows about woodcarving.
Tian Yunpo was silent for a moment, "She is very happy, did she say that?"
Gu Shubai said: "Of course she wouldn't tell me these things. But I saw that she put the wood carvings in the box where she collected precious items, so I know she likes them very much."
"Then you are not angry, but come to thank me instead?"
"Why should I be angry?"
Gu Shubai smiled, without any reluctance in his smile, "I can't be with her when I'm out fighting for several months, and I always need someone to make her happy for me and relieve her worries. Since my lord can do it, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be happy?" Are you angry?"
Tian Yunpo didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
Gu Shubai is so generous that he is willing to let other men relieve Yufu's worries and make her happy. It seems that he is generous, but when he thinks about it carefully, it seems almost provocative——
He firmly believes that Yufu will not shake his feelings for him for others, so he dares to be so generous.
This kind of provocation is really unreasonable to make people want to get angry.
Tian Yunpo still didn't give up, "Aren't you angry that she put the things I gave her in her treasure?"
Gu Shubai smiled brighter and asked him back, "Then do you know what else is in that box?"
Without waiting for Tian Yunpo to answer, he said to himself: "There are my mother's relics Qibao Yingluo inside, which was given to her by her father when she was in Guhou's mansion, so that others would say that she was not bullied by the blood of Guhou's mansion."
"There is also the sachet I gave her on the Duanyang Festival in the first year she came to Guhou Mansion. The wormwood in it has long since lost its fragrance after so many years, but the embroidery thread on the outside is still bright."
"There is also the seven-color gem that we picked up on the bamboo mountain on the border between Dongling and Xikun. It is a gem that symbolizes victory. Everyone in our Gu family has a piece, and Yufu naturally has it."
"besides… "
"do not talk."
It was the first time that Tian Yunpo couldn't say no to others, so he admitted defeat.
It's not that he can't beat him, but in Yu Fu's heart, he can't beat him.
Among the items that Yufu regards as the most precious, most of them are related to him. Just looking at the jade crown on his head, it can be seen how affectionate and righteous Yufu treats him.
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time, one was overwhelmed and couldn't hold back, the other waited quietly and couldn't bear to be disturbed.
He could understand how depressed Tian Yunpo was, for a woman as good as Yufu was in front of him all day but couldn't be touched, if it was him, he should also feel very uncomfortable.
After a while, Tian Yunpo took a deep breath.
"If your third brother was as magnanimous as you, I wouldn't have to deal with him so much. They were all raised by Master Gu himself. Why is there such a big difference?"
This tone seems to have slowed down.
Gu Shubai was invulnerable, so he turned to attack Gu Hanmo.
I don't want Gu Shubai to be ungenerous now, so he just smiled and spoke for Gu Hanmo, "The third younger brother's worry is human nature, I'm afraid the grand master didn't know that part of the reason Guhou's mansion was almost ruined was because others treated him Yufu's paranoid covet. Emperor Ning and Yin Shuo, one is Emperor Dongling and the other is the leader of the rebel army. When they covet a woman, they can do all kinds of cruel things that people can't imagine. Heavy, the third brother just doesn't want what happened back then to repeat itself."
Tian Yunpo snorted lightly.
Comparing him with the idiot Emperor Ning and the vicious Yin Shuo, Gu Shubai harms people without dirty words, this skill is actually comparable to him.
Seeing that they had wasted a lot of time outside the palace gate, people were already coming to court one after another at this moment, Tian Yunpo waved his sleeves, "Thank you, General, for accepting it, it seems that there is no need to go to Your Majesty's place first today."
Gu Shubai smiled and cupped his hands, "Then grand master, please go, I was tired last night, Your Majesty has allowed me to skip the morning court, and I will go back to the residence to rest today."
Tired last night...
Seeing him leave in a huff, Tian Yunpo was helpless.
In the morning when the sun was dim, Gu Shubai didn't go back on horseback, so Gu's mansion was just a few steps away.
As he was walking on the road, courtiers' carriages and horses kept approaching in front of him, and when they saw him from a distance, they all got out of the carriages and saluted.
Gu Shubai didn't expect to cause such trouble, if he had known it would be like this, he might as well ride back home, now it's all right, the whole road is full of cars and sedan chairs stopped.
As he walked quickly towards Gu's mansion, he hurriedly returned the salute with the ministers who saluted him, only to find that everyone was staring at the jade crown on his head.
But most of those who came earlier were officials of lower rank, Gu Shubai is now a first-rank general, they doubted in their hearts and did not dare to take the initiative to talk to him.
Gu Shubai was stared suspiciously, and suddenly saw Xue Bi, Shangshu of the Household Department, in the crowd, so he walked towards him, "Master Xue."
Xue Bi was overwhelmed by the flattery, looking at the beauty of heaven and man in front of him, he hurriedly cupped his hands, "General, what orders does the General have?"
Gu Shubai pointed to the jade crown on his head, "You can recognize this thing, why did all the ministers stare at it all the way I walked?"
Xue Bi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Gu Shubai was not from Beili, "Dare to ask the general, is this thing given to you by His Majesty?"
Gu Shubai nodded slightly, Xue Bi heaved a sigh of relief, "It's a good thing if His Majesty gave it to you, but it's expensive, and it won't be misused by the general. It's a relic of the late emperor. When the late emperor was still the crown prince, Wei Wei I used to be a young doctor in the Ministry of Rites. At that time, the Ministry of Rites handled all matters related to the wedding, and this is the jade crown worn by the late emperor when he was married."
It turned out to be a relic of the late emperor, no wonder Yu Fu carefully kept it in that box.
He nodded and left, Xue Bi hurriedly waved his hands to say goodbye, only the brilliance of the jade crown in his eyes shone in the faint morning light.
Back at Gu's mansion, I saw a lot of horses and horses parked outside the gate, and Qi Zhou was ordering people to take the horses down to feed grass outside the gate of the mansion.
Seeing Gu Shubai coming back, he hastily greeted him, "My lord, you are back! Master Hou is here!"
"What?"
Gu Shubai was both surprised and happy, "Father is here?"
"Yes, I heard that I went outside the city last night, but I waited outside for several hours before the city gate opened. I came here only after the city gate opened this morning. General Yan and the others also came!"
Gu Shubai rushed towards the mansion, when he got to the upper room, he heard the lively sound inside, when he went in, he saw Gu Huaijiang and everyone sitting around talking.
"Brother is back!"
Seeing Gu Shubai enter the door, Gu Yi immediately shouted, Gu Huaijiang got up and took his hand.
The father and son looked at each other, Gu Huaijiang looked very energetic, his skin was whiter than before, and his skin was rosy, and there was no sign of getting fat on his body.
Gu Huaijiang looked at Gu Shubai, knowing that he had been fighting with the rebels for several months, he was afraid that he might lose arms and legs, so he was relieved to see that he was unharmed.
"Father!"
Gu Shubai knelt down and kowtowed to him, Gu Hanmo and others also knelt down, Yin Ji was about to kneel, Su Yunyan quickly supported her.
"Farewell, second sister-in-law, you are pregnant."
Yin Ji wondered: "Jiuge is still at the border, I want to kowtow to father for him."
Gu Huaijiang hurriedly helped everyone up, and said to Yin Ji: "Our Gu family doesn't have so many ceremonies, and nothing is more important than you when you are pregnant. I heard that these little ones are ignorant, and they often let you down The chef cooks for them? Who is so disrespectful to the elder sister-in-law? Tell me, and I will make the decision for you!"
After finishing speaking, he sat down again and turned his gaze to Gu Wenqing, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi.
Gu Wenqing shook his head lightly, Gu Huaijiang knew that he was a sensible person, so he looked at Gu Xiang again. Gu Xiang hurriedly waved his hands, "Father, who in our family has always been the most ignorant, don't you know?"
As he spoke, he winked and gestured for Gu Yi's direction.
Gu Yi had long guarded against his move, and hurriedly explained to himself, "Father, I'm married now, how can I be so ignorant? I am the least sensible person, and I am the second most ignorant person left." ?"
The second ignorant person he mentioned was naturally Gu Xiang.
Gu Xiang immediately disagreed, "Although I'm not married, I've always been more sensible than you. How lucky you are to frame brother?"
Gu Yi has never regarded him as an elder brother, "What are you proud of, you are ashamed to call him elder brother when you come out half an hour earlier than me..."
It is common for the pair of twin brothers to tear each other down, everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw it, Su Yunyan stood up and raised his hand, standing between the two of them to prevent them from arguing.
"Let me be fair, father, it is indeed Gu Yi's ignorance, not Fifth Brother's fault."
Gu Xiang laughed out loud, and Gu Yi's nose was twisted with anger, "Why are you a bitch turning towards others instead of your husband?"
Several people laughed together, and Yin Ji hurriedly said: "Father, don't blame them. I have nothing to do and want to learn how to cook, so I invited them to taste the taste. Women say that you can't do needlework often when you are pregnant. I was barely able to sew a winter coat for Jiuge, so I had to find something to do in the kitchen."
Gu Huaijiang hadn't seen them for a long time, and felt that the laughter was still as pleasant as before, but the children had changed a lot.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi seem to be fighting and making trouble, but in fact, one of them is practicing in the army, and the other is working in the military department, and both of them are widely praised. On the way here, Gu Huaijiang heard this and still couldn't believe it. He couldn't believe that his youngest son had grown up.
Gu Wenqing and Gu Tong are in the army. Their straw letter in Dongling received an excellent response, which helped Beili's policy of attracting refugees. Even Immortal Valley got news.
Gu Hanmo relied on his own ability to become the champion of today's science and martial arts, and now he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army; Gu Jiuge led the army to guard the many cities that Dongling ceded to Beili, and even the crisis of food and grass could be properly raised; He has won one battle after another, and his reputation today is no less than that of his past...
The kids are all grown up.
Even Su Yunyan, who used to only know how to laugh, became much more stable. She knew how to take care of Yin Jiqian who was pregnant, and how to deal with the quarrel between Gu Xiang and Gu Yi brothers fairly.
Yin Jizheng has changed from a rich lady to a gentle and virtuous housewife. Not only is she pregnant, she takes care of the Gu family, but she also manages the Gu family in an orderly manner...
He was extremely relieved, but he was even more eager to see his other child.
Gu Shubai said: "Father went outside the city last night, why didn't you send someone to report? If father reveals his identity to the city gate guards, they will definitely let you enter the city."
Yan Huashi, who was standing aside, said: "Why didn't we tell Lord Hou like this? But Lord Hou has never been a person who enjoys privileges based on his status. He would not reveal his identity when we said anything. He would rather sleep in the carriage overnight. .Fortunately, there is a farmhouse outside the city, so we went to stay overnight, so we didn't blow the cold wind in the carriage."
Last night he was in the palace with Yu Fu Shanglan for a night tour, but Gu Huaijiang almost slept outside the city, Gu Shubai couldn't bear it, "It's all bad for the child, I don't even know that my father is here."
Gu Huaijiang said: "It's okay, it's my own idea. What's more, I have recuperated in the Immortal Valley to strengthen my muscles and bones. Not to mention sleeping in a carriage overnight, there is nothing to be afraid of. The gift of Yufu and Ji is close at hand. How could you not come? Who knew that it happened to be just in time for your army commander to return to court, I thought you hadn't seen Yufu for a long time and naturally you would have a lot to say, so you didn't order someone to pass on the message."
Gu Yidao: "Then father can quietly order someone to pass on a message to us. Although we are not as good as elder brother, can't we go out of the city to meet father?"
Su Yunyan hurriedly said: "Don't interrupt, my father is so wise and wise, so he naturally knows what to do. He is worried that if the eldest brother finds out and delays his reunion with Yufu, he will simply wait all night before coming back."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Gu Shubai said: "By the way, father must really want to see Yufu, right? I will order someone to enter the palace to inform Yufu."
Gu Huaijiang got up from his seat, "I'd better go to the palace to meet her. Although my official position in Dongling has been relieved, after all, this former identity is eye-catching. If I come to Beili and don't enter the palace to face the saint, wouldn't it be a shame? Are you sorry?"
Everyone couldn't help hesitating, Gu Hanmo said: "It's not difficult for father to enter the palace, I'm afraid Yufu will blame us if he finds out."
"I already know!"
Yu Fu's voice came from outside the courtyard, she was walking fast, Yao Lan and others followed behind, lest she would fall if she walked too fast.
Gu Huaijiang and the others all stood up, only to find that she was still wearing bright yellow court clothes when she got closer. It seemed that she rushed here just after the court, and she didn't even have time to change her clothes.
Gu Huaijiang thought for a moment, bowed his hands, and Yu Fu quickly stepped forward to support him, "General, don't do that!"
After finishing speaking, he helped him to sit down, Gu Shubai said: "The morning morning is not over yet, why did you come here?"
"If I don't come, why don't you send the general to the palace to meet me?"
Yu Fu scolded him, Gu Shubai had nothing to answer, and smiled helplessly.
It turned out that she was afraid that Gu Huaijiang would come to the palace to meet her in person, so she rushed here before the morning court was over.
Yu Fu said to Gu Huaijiang: "General, wait a moment."
After finishing speaking, he took Yaolan and others to the back, and soon came back again, changed into homely clothes, even untied the heavy and rich palace bun, and loosely tied a seal behind his head.
Seeing this, Gu Huaijiang was startled at first, and then moved, knowing that she was worried that wearing court clothes would make him feel restrained.
In fact, for a person like Gu Huaijiang who has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can his attitude change because of a piece of clothing? In order to reassure Yu Fu, he simply stopped being formal.
Seeing that he had relaxed a lot, Yu Fu thought that the clothes had helped, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone sat down to talk again.
Hearing that Gu Huaijiang came back for her Jiji gift, Yu Fu joyfully took his arm, and leaned her head on his shoulder like she did when she was a child.
"I've always been worried that the general would not come to Beili, so I didn't dare to mention it. I didn't expect the general to know about it."
He still came for her, no matter how unwilling he was.
Gu Huaijiang patted her, "I have to thank God of Medicine for talking about this matter. Originally, he was arguing to come, saying that he would be a teacher for one day and be a father for the rest of his life. Later, Xiaobai persuaded him that a person can only have one father. He let me come, but Xiaobai was punished by him to soak in the cold pool for half a month."
"Master bullied Xiaobai again."
Yu Fu smiled helplessly, and was extremely grateful that Gu Huaijiang was able to come. Gu Huaijiang said: "I heard that your wedding ceremony and wedding ceremony will be held together. Of course, I can't miss it. There is another purpose for coming this time, which is to prepare for you. dowry."
