Seeing that Gu Chen came back safely, Chen Baochuan and the others heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother Gu, tell me quickly, what does that fellow Li Jinglong want to do to you?"
"Did you retaliate in kind so that he would never dare to bully you again?"
This group of Lord's children are mischievous and mischievous all day long. They are disgusted by dogs walking on the street. If they can be dealt with properly, it would be called eliminating harm for the people.
Gu Chen looked at the few followers of Cao Guogong who hurriedly went to the mountains to look for people and said with a smile.
"I don't know. The only thing I know is that this young master may not be able to eat for a few days. Okay, come on, let's go get something to eat."
Gu Chen hugged his good brother and went to have a meal with a few colleagues.
Don't underestimate the literati. When it comes to drinking, literati are no worse than military generals.
What's more, if you are an official of the Ming Dynasty, you will be disliked if you don't drink well.
Gu Chen, for example, is often disliked by Lao Zhu in terms of his drinking capacity.
Gu Chen wasn't angry if he was said to be a light drinker. He was indeed a light drinker.
"Ms. sir, what's wrong with Mr. Li?"
In the evening, Su Wanying changed his dusty clothes and said, "He took his people back to Beijing without even informing His Majesty in person, and he didn't even see Duke Cao Guo."
Leaving without warning is a sign of ignorance of etiquette and will inevitably require a lesson.
So this kid must have suffered a big loss, otherwise he wouldn't have left in such a hurry.
"It's okay, he just fell into the manure pit." Under his wife's disbelieving eyes, Gu Chen said happily: "Don't worry, he's just a kid who can't steal chickens."
He bet a penny that Xiao Lizi would never dare to tell anyone about it.
Su Wanying suddenly realized that it was the young master's fault.
After cleaning up other people's brats, Gu Chen thought of his own brats again.
"How is that brat today? Are you still clamoring for martial arts?"
Su Wanying sighed: "Why not? Not long after my husband left, His Highness the King of Wu invited three children over. Not long after, your son went to pester His Highness the King of Yan to flatter him."
"I must have flattered them. His Highness, King Yan, personally took a few of them to target practice and told them about military matters."
"When he comes back, he will pester me again and ask me to intercede with you again."
"Ms. sir, what should I do?"
Everything is of inferior quality, but reading is of high quality.
Su Wanying and her husband had the same idea, that it would be better to study.
But in the face of children's pleading, parents will inevitably become soft-hearted.
Gu Chen originally wanted to wait until the child was five years old before talking, maybe it would change his mind.
But after returning from the hunting ground, Su Wanying's body began to feel strange. She vomited whatever she ate, until the sky was dark, and she slept day and night.
Based on past experience, Gu Chen probably guessed that he could be a father again.
Sure enough, the doctor took a pulse and congratulated her with a smile, saying that she was already two months pregnant.
"Okay, okay."
This made Gu Chen extremely happy, he held Su Wanying's hand and said.
"We have a third child, and the second child can learn whatever he likes."
"I don't care. I'll pack him up tomorrow and send him to Duke Wei."
With General Xu Da as his master, speaking of it, his family has made a profit.
"But my husband, I still don't know whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"
Su Wanying knew that her husband had long been thinking about having another son.
But how can we say this with certainty? What if it is a girl again?
"If he's not a boy, let him be a boy." Gu Chen helped her lie down and said, "In the worst case, we'll raise her as a boy."
If the eldest girl, the old Zhu family, didn't take her away, maybe she would miss the younger one?
Su Wanying's mouth twitched. How much does her husband dislike the royal family?
Moreover, how can it be so easy to hide it?
If they were cheated, how would the Gu family explain to the royal family?
Gu Chen also knew that it was unrealistic, so he boiled oil until his wife was pregnant for four months, and then went to invite Xiao Jiuxian out of Wei Guogong's mansion.
"Doctor Xiao, please help me see if it's a boy or a girl."
If it was a girl, he would immediately find a close friend from the same department to get married.
Xiao Jiuxian has not been running around in these years. He has been obsessed with studying the things Gu Chen gave him all day long, treating Wei Guogong's mansion as his own research laboratory.
When I was called here in a hurry, I thought it was something big.
Who knows, is it a man or a woman?
"Brother Gu, whether it's a son or a daughter, they are all his own flesh and blood. You already have a son, why do you care about the gender?"
Although he said this, he still took out the pillow and put it away.
Although Gu Chen was anxious, he had to endure it honestly in front of outsiders.
"Don't we need to prepare clothes?"
"If we know earlier, we can prepare earlier and save the trouble from Doctor Xiao."
It's a pity that Yao Guangxiao is not here, otherwise he can tell the difference between a man and a woman just by looking at their faces.
It takes more than six months for a doctor to be accurate, and a hard-core doctor like Dr. Xiao.
I heard that you can tell the difference between a man and a woman in three or four months.
For the sake of their friendship, Xiao Jiuxian naturally tried his best.
It's just that the child is still young, so it took him a while to get it right.
"Well, it's a boy. The fetus is fine. It's just that my wife vomited too much and is a little weak. She just needs to be replenished."
Seeing the smile on Gu Chen's face, Xiao Jiuxian couldn't help but laugh.
"Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Gu."
It's not a bad thing to want a son. Gu's family has a big business and only has one son, so it's indeed a little thin.
Hearing that his wife and children were fine, Gu Chen felt even better.
"Sure, I'll send that Shuzi to see Duke Wei tomorrow."
At Xu Da's place, the prince had already greeted him and was just waiting for Gu Chen to send him there.
To be honest, Xu Da didn't want to accept any disciples at all.
The most important thing is that he is the son of a civil servant. He does not want to have anything to do with a civil servant.
He is still a high-ranking official. This connection is deep and it is easy for His Majesty to suspect him.
Isn’t that following in Liao Yongzhong’s footsteps?
But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke in person, and he was the son of his savior.
Xu Da really couldn't refuse, so he didn't rush to become a disciple when he met someone. Instead, he had a family affair with Gu Chen first and talked about what was on his mind.
"Master Gu is an only son, but he was willing to give away the sword, gun, sword and halberd. After one meal, I wonder if there will be another meal?"
If he had only one son, he would not be allowed to go to the battlefield even if he cried and beat him.
Even if you spend your whole life wandering around at home, it’s not like your family can’t afford it.
Is it necessary to let children earn fame?
General Xu Da has a thin and sharp appearance, but a tall and strong figure. His eyes are very wise, but they also have a kind of kindness that is different from his status, which makes people feel very friendly.
"My lord, I don't know, but this kid is like a man possessed and only wants to be Huo Qubing."
"Xiaguan scolded me and scolded me, and I broke down all the things I needed to say, but he still didn't change his original intention and made up his mind to practice martial arts."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the child has not yet been finalized. He may have to suffer for a few days before giving up. That's why he came to bother the father-in-law."
Even though Xu Da looks so kind, all the tough guys in the army are afraid of him.
Therefore, Xu Da should be very experienced in dealing with little thorns like Gu Xiu.
"That's it." Xu Da suddenly realized and looked at Gu Xiu who was kneeling outside the door: "Winter is coming soon. As long as Mr. Gu doesn't feel bad, we have many ways to make your son change his mind."
He doesn't show mercy when he abuses his own son, let alone someone else's son?
Keep it, or within three days, this kid will be crying and screaming for his mother to hold him.
"Of course it's good." Gu Chen said with a smile: "If this child can really change his mind and study hard, even the subordinates will not know how to thank the father-in-law."
Although there is a third child, the second child is also of his own flesh and blood.
As long as he is not too stubborn, I still hope that he will have a smooth life. If you can't do it, don't do it.
"Hey, there's no need to be grateful. You saved us. What's the point of helping you with this little thing?"
Although it was not good to get too close to Gu Chen, he always remembered this love.
What does it matter if it takes some effort?
With this in mind, he waved to the little kid kneeling outside the door.
"Baby, come in."
