Gu Chen was too lazy to argue with him. He just wanted to get home as soon as possible, so he asked Gu An to drive the car faster.
Gu An: "No, my master, if you are caught rushing too fast, you will be fined even if you don't tell the censor of the city."
Everything else is a trivial matter, except that you have to be educated on the street.
He believes that he is taking care of adults, and he doesn’t want to be lectured by his subordinates in public, right?
Gu Chen: "...Then let's go normally."
They were all confused by Li Jinglong's anger. In ancient times, there were also requirements for the speed of carriages. Unless it was an emergency, the prince, Long and Sun, could not exceed the speed limit.
Only urgent military reports and the top picks in the imperial examinations can openly ride horses, otherwise they will be taught a lesson.
After finally arriving at Gu's house, Gu Chen's first words when he saw the gatekeeper were.
"Has the lady given birth?"
After getting a negative answer, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the backyard.
"Dad, are you back?"
As soon as he walked into the hanging flower door, Gu Chen met the older girl carrying food. He hadn't seen her for several months, and this little girl seemed to have become much more beautiful.
Gu Shuning stepped forward happily and saluted: "My mother was still talking about my father this morning. She will definitely be happy when my father returns."
Of course, she was also happy that her father was back.
"Girl, you've grown taller again." Gu Chen happily compared his height with his daughter before looking at the tray: "Is this for your mother?"
The little girl nodded, opened the lid and gave her father a look and smiled.
"My mother has gained some weight from eating, and the miracle doctor Xiao told me to eat less. So these days, I cook millet porridge for my mother to eat. The miracle doctor Xiao said it is better for my mother to eat this than white rice."
Whole grains are not only rich in nutrients, but can also relieve constipation and obesity.
As soon as she finished speaking, Pearl behind her smiled and said: "We girls are filial, and we can do these things as slaves."
"But the eldest girl has to do it herself. The master doesn't know outside, but we girls are now helping my wife with the housekeeping."
However, their eldest girl is already ten years old, and it is really time for her to learn to be a housekeeper.
"Oh." Gu Chen felt pleased and reached out to take the tray from the child's hand: "We, Ning Yatou, have grown up. Do we know how much we care about our mother?"
It’s not that this life is difficult, what’s difficult is the child’s mind.
Gu Shuning now had his hands free, so he pulled on his father's sleeves.
"A daughter is the eldest daughter of her parents and the eldest sister of her younger brothers. If her father and younger brothers are not at home, it is natural for her to take on the household chores."
She only hated that she was too young to do more for her parents.
"Good boy." Gu Chen just wanted to praise him, but suddenly he realized something: "Second brother, you are still in the Duke of Wei's mansion, haven't you come back?"
He has been out for more than five months. Logically speaking, the boy should have been unable to bear it and came back.
"No, daddy." Gu Shuning frowned and said worriedly like a young adult: "Not only did he not come back, Wei Guogong also officially accepted his second brother as his disciple."
"Dad, will my second brother really become a military commander before going into battle in the future?"
Although according to his father's official position, his brother's position in the army will not be too low.
But there are dangers!
Many generals and marshals were personally protected by their own soldiers, but they died on the battlefield.
As long as the two armies are fighting in front of each other, who knows whether they will live or die?
"Dad doesn't know either."
Hearing that the little bastard persisted, Gu Chen couldn't help but shake his head gently.
"This brat!"
Why is a child who has no patience no matter what he does, so stubborn about practicing martial arts?
"Let's go see your mother."
Although the son's matter was very important, it was not as important as his wife who was about to give birth.
Su Wanying was helped walking back and forth in the yard. When she saw her husband coming back, she originally wanted to run to greet him, but she was held back by the grandmother on the side.
"Madam is feeling heavy now, so she must not make any big movements."
The old man's face looked a little strange, and Gu Chen looked at his daughter in confusion.
Seeing his father's confusion, Gu Shuning immediately explained to him obediently.
"This is Nanny Huang from the palace. She was sent by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Nanny is an old nanny in the palace and has given birth to several empresses."
Gu Shuning thought that her mother was from the palace and the crown princess gave her mother face, so her father had to be more polite to her.
Oh, it turned out that Biaoer and his wife sent it.
"Madam, I'm back."
Gu Chen immediately raised his smile and quickly stepped forward to help his wife instead of his mother.
"Mommy, you've worked hard, go and have a rest."
After not seeing each other for several months, he didn't know if anything major had happened in the capital.
Can't you ask your wife?
Aunt Huang just thought that the couple wanted to talk privately, so she didn't want to disturb them, so she left with a smile.
As soon as she left, Gu Chen helped his wife back to the house. After caring about her health, he started to ask about things in the capital.
"Is nothing wrong?" Su Wanying thought seriously for a while before she said, "Oh, Marquis Liao reported several great victories and destroyed many Japanese pirate lairs."
She was told that Marquis Deqing's navy was really powerful. I heard that the people who had been harmed by the Japanese pirates were busy building a shrine for him.
"There are no major events happening in our family. The only major event is that brother Xiu officially started practicing martial arts and officially became the apprentice of Duke Wei."
"Ms. sir, just let him go."
"A few days ago, there was an old man on East Street. He scolded his son every day because he was angry that his son didn't study and wanted to go into business. As a result, his son became rebellious."
"The old man was so angry that he couldn't even breathe, so he went underground to see the King of Hell. His son was also punished with sixty rods, two years in prison, and a thousand miles in exile because he was so angry that his father died."
After hearing the dirty things about other families, she has now figured it out. The grandchildren here will have their own children and grandchildren, so it is better to let the children go their own way.
If you take too much control, you will not live long!
Gu Chen: "...You can think openly, but things are like this now. So what if you don't follow him? Fathers can't keep their word."
You can't be tied up and locked up at home every day, right?
He had just drank a cup of tea at home, and Lao Zhu had already sent someone to urge him to enter the palace.
"knew."
Gu Chen was exhausted and asked someone to change his clothes, but he saw his wife pouting and giving him a look.
"What are you talking about?"
He remembered that his wife had never had this habit before. Who did she learn this from?
"I can curl my own mouth whenever I want. Do you have to take care of this?"
I wanted to complain that he had just come back, but the emperor came running over to call for someone again.
But thinking that there were outsiders in the house, it would be hard for others to hear her words and spread them to the palace, so she couldn't say anything else.
"Ms. sir, go and come back early. I'll wait for you to eat."
Without having time to ask any more questions, Gu Chen gently touched his wife's belly, took the official hat from the maid's hand, and prepared to enter the palace.
"Ms. sir, please take this gold with you." Su Wanying pulled Gu Chen's sleeve and said softly: "Even if it's something from another country, if an official wants to receive it in his own hands, he should let His Majesty nod."
The husband is not a relative of the emperor, so it would be bad if he becomes a criminal.
Gu Chen turned around and teased: "Don't you feel bad?"
If Lao Zhu really stayed, wouldn't all the benefits be in vain?
How can I not feel distressed? Isn't this just out of caution?
Asking knowingly!
