Hearing Xiao Yanlin say this, Gu Baiyu breathed a sigh of relief and showed a shy expression: "Well, you can like it."

Xiao Yanlin made sure his hands were clean again and again before slowly rubbing the boots.

"No one in the world has ever made boots for me except my mother."

Xiao Yanlin suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Baiyu. The intense and hot expression in his eyes almost burned people: "Thank you, Yu'er, this is the best gift I have ever received."

Hearing Xiao Yanlin mention his mother, Gu Baiyu also felt a little sentimental.

I heard that Xiao Yanlin's mother was very kind, and the old couple had a deep relationship when she was alive. Later, when Xiao Ruoyun arrived, she was somewhat similar to Gu Ruanruan.

Prime Minister Gu was plotted by someone, and Xiao Yanlin's father was depressed because of the death of his wife, so he accidentally had Xiao Ruoyun.

Later, I felt sorry for my wife and passed away not long after.

As for Xiao Ruoyun's mother, Gu Baiyu didn't know much about her. She was probably just an ordinary miserable woman.

Gu Baiyu thought about what to say to comfort him, and then told Xiao Yanlin the reason why he made these shoes.

"My mother said that if a man walks around the world, he must wear good shoes. She made boots for my father in the hope that she could accompany him through the great rivers and mountains of my country. I...my thoughts are the same. in this way."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanlin shook his head after hearing this: "Yu'er, although you are a woman, you don't have to abide by those rules here. What about women? I, Xiao Yanlin's wife, as long as you are willing, I will personally take you everywhere The rivers and mountains of Daye.”

"Jiangnan, Eastern Border, Mobei, Nanman, Western Suburbs... You can go anywhere as long as you want."

When Gu Baiyu heard this, he remembered that he was confined in the back house and died in depression. He could not leave the territory of Kyoto until his death, and he couldn't help but get red in his eyes.

Xiao Yanlin was immediately at a loss: "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? It doesn't matter. If you like to stay at home, I can stay with you every day..."

Gu Baiyu noticed that he had lost his composure, picked up the handkerchief and pressed the tears at the corners of his eyes.

"No, I just want to say that since you promised me, you must do it. You must take me around the world and experience a life different from other women."

Xiao Yanlin looked into Gu Baiyu's eyes and replied very solemnly: "I will definitely do everything I promised you."

He didn't swear or say any sweet words, but Gu Baiyu felt that he would definitely be able to do it.

With this innate temperament that convinced Gu Baiyu, Gu Baiyu felt that there would never be another person in the world who could give her this feeling.

He immediately burst into tears and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait."

Afterwards, the two talked about some childhood things.

When Xiao Yanlin was a child, there were only ordinary civilians in her family, and the fun of ordinary children was beyond the imagination of a eldest daughter like Gu Baiyu.

Xiao Yanlin saw that she was interested, so he said more.

When Gu Baiyu heard that he climbed up a tree several feet high to retrieve bird eggs and fell down, almost breaking his leg, he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yanlin only thought she was extremely cute, her almond-shaped eyes widened, showing a bit of playfulness that was different from usual.

Xiao Yanlin felt love and pity in her heart, but she was still a girl under twenty...

"Like birds? I will take you to Mobei another day. There is the most humane Haidongqing there. It is extremely powerful. I will raise one for you. It will loyally protect the master at critical times. Don't be afraid if it gets separated from me. I can take you to me, no matter when, no matter where you are."

Gu Baiyu's smiling eyes narrowed: "Then will you let me get separated from you?"

Xiao Yanlin's throat moved slightly: "No. I will never lose you."

Gu Baiyu was satisfied, "That's good, then you can't do such dangerous things, I'll be worried."

Xiao Yanlin thought she was still afraid of falling down after taking out the bird eggs, so he said casually: "It's okay, Ruoyun was smart and brought me something to cushion..."

Xiao Ruoyun was suddenly mentioned, and Xiao Yanlin was a little annoyed.

He shouldn't have mentioned his brother.

However, sometimes I am afraid that something will happen, and a familiar voice suddenly comes from the door.

"Brother, the concierge said there is a guest at home, but you didn't call me, who is it..."

Xiao Ruoyun said half of the word "who" before he suddenly stopped talking.

He saw Gu Baiyu, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment, but Xiao Yanlin spoke first: "What are you doing standing there? Come and see Miss Gu."

Xiao Ruoyun responded dully and walked in: "I've met Miss Gu."

Gu Baiyu also nodded: "Second Young Master Gu is well."

There was another awkward silence after that.

Xiao Ruoyun felt a little restless, thinking about what to say, and then said: "I was thinking of visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I still have to discuss the matter of Miss Gu Er and me, as well as the dowry. Even though I am a concubine, I still have to discuss it. I don’t want to embarrass her too much.”

Gu Baiyu thought for a while and did not answer Xiao Ruoyun's words. Instead, he turned to Xiao Yanlin and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Hou?"

Xiao Yanlin answered neatly: "It all depends on the intention of the Prime Minister's Palace. If Prime Minister Gu feels that he has forgiven the second lady and is willing to let her get married well, then the dowry given by the Prime Minister's Palace will be doubled."

Gu Baiyu nodded, looked at Xiao Ruoyun who looked a little unbearable, and sighed slightly in his heart.

She still felt that Gu Ruanruan had no good cards in his life, but he ended up playing badly.

Even she, an outsider, could tell that Xiao Ruoyun still had some feelings for Gu Ruanruan.

Regardless of whether this friendship is driven by the established plot of the novel or whether the two have been in love for a long time, Xiao Ruoyun, the soft-eared "hero", still has a good impression of the heroine Gu Ruanruan.

If Gu Ruanruan is willing to live a good life with him, everything will slowly get better.

But is Gu Ruanruan really a character who can live a good life?

Gu Baiyu never pushes people into desperate situations, nor does he kill them all without leaving any room.

If Gu Ruanruan is sensible, dowry and betrothal gift will come naturally.

But thinking of Gu Ruanruan's performance yesterday, Gu Baiyu couldn't answer Xiao Ruoyun immediately.

She pondered for a moment and said: "I have to ask my father and mother about this. I will give you an answer in a few days."

Xiao Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and looked at Gu Baiyu with a complicated look: "Miss Gu, you are really kind. In the past, Miss Gu Er and I were too willful..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xiao Yanlin: "If nothing happens, just go down."

In the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Xiao Yanlin always had the final say, so Xiao Ruoyun could only say goodbye and leave.

Xiao Yanlin looked at his younger brother's leaving figure, and the tight strings loosened a little.

He didn't like the way Xiao Ruoyun looked at Gu Baiyu just now.

His lover does not allow anyone to get involved, Xiao thought.

Not even his biological brother.

After they left, Gu Baiyu suddenly said: "Master Hou, I just deceived the second young master. I can decide my sister's dowry. I just don't want to give him an answer for the time being."
