Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

With the arrival of the governor, the repair of the river bank was significantly faster.

The skilled craftsmen brought from the capital really worked hard, and were a hundred times better than the lazy foremen from Jiangnan.

"Brother, what dishes did Wei Shaofeng send over today?" It was near noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the riverbank was steaming with the smell of mud, which made people feel depressed. They could only talk about happy things to relax their minds.

"Nothing much, just some Jiangnan specialties. It's refreshing and can go well with rice!" Gu Shian looked at the blueprint, his face more relaxed than before.

"By the way, have someone tell Wei Shaofeng that the charcoal-grilled pigeons are delicious, and ask him to send two over every day."

Gu Jiusi was looking into the distance with his hand on his forehead. He turned back in surprise when he heard the words: "Brother, didn't you dislike squab since you were a child? I remember that grandma asked the kitchen to cook squab in many ways, but you didn't want to eat it. How come your taste has changed so much since you came to Jiangnan?"

"I like to eat it!" Under the big umbrella next to Gu Shian, a little girl was playing with a knife in her hand and raised her chin towards Gu Jiusi.

"Ali?" Gu Jiusi exclaimed, "You are not with my sister, why are you here?"

"It was the Madam who asked me to look after the Second Young Master!" Ali spoke again, but Gu Jiusi was a little flattered. It was rare to hear Ali willing to explain to him.

"Ali, call me by my name!" Gu Shian suddenly turned around and reminded him, "Also, I told you that Feiwan is older than you, so you can call her sister."

Ahri stuck out his tongue and lowered his head guiltily: "Oh, I forgot just now!"

Gu Jiusi raised his hand and pointed at the sun as if struck by lightning: "Brother, am I confused by the sun? Why do I seem to be hallucinating?"

Gu Shian was too lazy to pay attention to him: "If it's too sunny, go back to the government office and make some lily soup for Ali. She likes to drink it cold."

"No, what is the relationship between you two?" Gu Jiusi was a little confused. It was a pity that he was a young boy who had not yet figured things out and was frightened by his own younger brother.

"Ali will be your future sister-in-law, but I haven't done the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts yet. You can't tell anyone else. If you tarnish her reputation, I won't acknowledge you as my brother!" Gu Shian said very seriously.

On the other hand, the usually generous Ali blushed a little and wiped the knife more diligently.

Gu Jiusi was dumbfounded: "But isn't she Ning Weizhou's? The indenture is still in my sister's hands, right?"

Ali raised her eyebrows and said, "I am not anyone's, and I don't have a bond. I just remembered that the general saved me, so I followed him to the battle and returned to the capital with him to protect his wife... no... my sister."

At the beginning, Ahri was still confident. At the end of his speech, he saw Gu Shian frowning slightly, and he couldn't help but lower his voice and began to twist his fingers again.

She was just used to these names, and the damn Gu Shian always forced her to change!

No matter whether they were arguing or reasoning, she was no match for Gu Shian.

If it comes to fighting, she can beat a hundred Gu Shians, but she can't bear to do so, right?

Gu Jiusi swallowed his saliva, sat down slowly, and calmed his mind before saying:

"When I left the capital, someone in my family came to propose marriage. They were talking about the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works, who was known for her virtue. It was said that she followed the rules of a boudoir and never left the house. She was also beautiful, and in early spring, butterflies chased after her..."

Gu Shian raised his eyebrows: "Has the family decided?"

Gu Jiusi waved his hands quickly: "That's not the case. Grandparents and Second Aunt are not unaware of your temper. Second Uncle is not in Beijing now, so we have to wait until he returns. But he is your immediate superior. If you refuse, you will have a hard time in the Ministry of Industry in the future!"

Hearing this, Gu Shian said nonchalantly, "It's still unclear who is the immediate superior of whom. You are so anxious to push your daughter to me, but you don't think about the fact that the Gu family is a business family. How can the goods delivered to the door be good goods?"

"That's not the way to say it. The reputation of the Minister's daughter is not bad, and she is a good match for my Gu family. But this Ah Li, as a brother, is not something I can do to be unfaithful. Even Ning Weizhou doesn't understand her origins. She can be a guard, but I'm afraid my grandparents won't agree if I marry her home."

"They will agree!" Gu Shian said confidently: "Without Ah Li, there would be no living Gu Shian now. If they still want me as their grandson, my grandparents will agree!"

Gu Jiusi's eyes widened: "Brother, so you want to repay your kindness with your own body? This is not like you. If you don't have a mutual understanding, and you marry her just to repay your kindness, are you worthy of Ali?"

"How do you know that we don't have a mutual understanding? Ahri and I swear to sleep together in life and die together. If there is an afterlife, we will definitely continue our relationship. You fool don't understand!"

After listening to Gu Shian, Gu Jiusi let out a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved that I can force you to say such things. Even if my family disagrees after returning to Beijing, I will kneel down and beg for mercy with you!"

It was a true brotherly love, but Gu Shian pushed him aside: "Who wants to kneel down and beg for mercy with you? Are your grandparents such unreasonable people? Ali is well-behaved and cute, they will like her!"

"She! So well-behaved? So cute?" Gu Jiusi jumped up and exclaimed, brushing off the dust on his butt: "Forget it, the book says that lovers are blind. I'll go see if the food has been delivered."

The two brothers talked for a while, and Ahri stood by quietly without saying a word.

"Ali, don't worry. My grandparents have seen a lot and will definitely respect my decision and won't do anything to obstruct it." Gu Shian comforted.

Ah Li blinked her eyes, smiling: "With you here, I'm not worried. The Gu family are all good people and will not embarrass Ah Li. The eldest master is just testing your determination."

Ahri is just simple-minded, not stupid.

Gu Shian breathed a sigh of relief and started laughing too.

Ali has a simple mind. When he trusts someone, he trusts him wholeheartedly without leaving any shadow. But when he hates someone, he hates him wholeheartedly without leaving any gap.

Just like when facing Wei Shaofeng, Ahri always couldn't help but take out the spirit snake, twisting it around her fingertips quickly, wishing she could poke seventeen or eighteen holes in it!

Because, that day, Gu Shian fell into the flood and almost died!

Thinking of the danger that day, Ahri's eyes were filled with resentment. Looking at Gu Jiusi's receding figure, he said:

"Now that the eldest master is here, that beast might come up with some shady tricks. You need to be extra careful around the eldest master."

Gu Jiusi corrected: "He is not your eldest son, you can just call him brother!"

"Don't worry about my elder brother. He is here to provide disaster relief under the order of the emperor. He is accompanied by his husband. He may suffer some losses, but Wei Shaofeng and the others dare not harm his life. Otherwise, he would not be able to afford to offend the emperor or even Princess Fule!"

The purpose of Xu Shixian's accompanying him this time was to be a talisman for Gu Jiusi, which was more useful than an imperial edict.

After all, the emperor has to be reasonable when killing people, but Princess Fule never discusses anything with anyone when saving lives!
