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

"Tell me, why did Doctor Song seem so angry just now?" Gu Feiwan was lying on the bed, Ning Weizhou was massaging her legs.

"Are you angry? I didn't see it, maybe it's because you disobeyed me again!"

Gu Feiwan was anxious and sat up straight: "No, I always feel something is wrong! You really don't care at all!"

Ning Weizhou said with a smile: "You naughty boy, I can't even take care of you all day long, how can I care about other people's affairs?"

Gu Feiwan blushed and immediately changed the subject: "The baby is about to leave the hospital, and the children haven't been named yet. You said you don't care, but you still don't admit it!"

Ning Weizhou had nothing to say now, but it wasn’t because he didn’t care, but because he cared too much!

This is the child that Gu Feiwan gave birth to for him at great pains. Ning Weizhou always felt that the name he gave was not worthy of the children!

"Let me think about it again. My second brother has been here these past two days, so I'll ask him to think about it carefully. The writing of this year's number one scholar must be better than mine!"

Unexpectedly, when Gu Feiwan heard it, he refused without even thinking!

"No, they are your children, you have to choose their names!"

Ning Weizhou could only agree: "Okay, okay, I'll take it. Let me think about it!"

The couple gathered together to chat, and the two brothers in the front hall also had three rounds of drinks.

"Brother, I should thank you today."

"What are you talking about? We are brothers, why should we thank each other? How polite! Alas, it's all my fault that I am incompetent. I always want to protect you, but you are all better than me, so I still have to rely on you!"

"Brother, if you hadn't snatched the post of Jiangnan Governor, how could the disaster relief in Jiangnan be so easy? People outside say that the Governor is a Bodhisattva who comes to earth to save people from suffering. If it weren't for you, how many more people would have died in Jiangnan? How many of them are hungry children? They are the hope of Wu. If you saved them, you left more seeds for Wu!"

"Second brother, don't praise me like that!" Gu Jiusi was a little embarrassed, and raised his head to drink a glass of wine: "I know that I am not very capable, so this time I asked Xu Shixian to go with me. Although he is a little worse than you, he did come up with many good ideas along the way. The rapid disaster relief effect is also thanks to him."

"Brother, in fact, you have advantages that we don't have! You are a hundred times better than any of us!"

Gu Jiusi didn't believe what he said, but he still looked up at his brother with hope in his eyes: "Really? You're not lying to me?"

Gu Shian nodded heavily: "Of course it's true!"

"You can identify people and use them, and you can listen to other people's advice. This is a great advantage!"

"I know that my eldest brother is not interested in officialdom, but he is still willing to go to the Imperial Academy for me, to fight for the position of disaster relief governor, and to arrange a marriage for me. Which eldest brother can do this? Only you!"

Whether it was because of the alcohol or because he was embarrassed, Gu Jiusi's face was flushed, and the wine in the glass was swaying violently:

"I...I'm the eldest brother, these are what I should do!"

"Brother, you don't have to take responsibility for anyone. My sister and I hope you can think more about yourself. Marriage is a big deal. We family-oriented men never have three wives and four concubines. We always choose one person to live with for the rest of our lives, so you must be careful!"

Gu Shian said earnestly: "My aunt is in charge of the Gu family's finances. She has always been virtuous and open-minded. This is why the Gu family is of one mind. My sister and I both hope that the future sister-in-law will also be such a beautiful woman. That will be the blessing of the Gu family and the blessing of my sister and me!"

The flickering candlelight made Gu Jiusi's eyes sore!

He knew from a young age that he was not as talented as his younger brother, nor was he as smart as his younger brother.

If we have to say what he can win, it is probably his age!

Gu Shian is the hope of the Gu family, so Gu Jiusi is willing to be a stepping stone for his younger brother.

As long as it is something that can help his brother, he is willing to do it no matter how difficult it is, and will try his best to do it well!

Today, the two brothers talked heart to heart, from family to officialdom, from the past to the future.

For the first time, Gu Jiusi realized how outstanding and important he was in the hearts of his younger brothers and sisters!

"Brother, if you weren't behind us, how could my sister and I feel confident to move forward? We have all these achievements now because we know that even if we fail miserably, we still have you by our side!"

Gu Shian filled Gu Jiusi's glass with wine again: "Brother, the three of us brothers and sisters work together, who dares to bully us?"

Gu Jiusi's eyes were red: "Brother is right, I will listen to you!"

The candlelight in the pomegranate garden stayed on until late at night. Early the next morning, Gu Jiusi went to the yamen feeling particularly refreshed!

"Second brother is really good at speaking. Big brother will definitely be encouraged now. Even if he doesn't join the cabinet in the future, he can still make a name for himself in the Hanlin Academy." Gu Feiwan and Gu Shian were having breakfast.

Gu Shian raised his lips slightly, "In fact, if my eldest brother was in other families, he would also be a talented person who could support the family. It's just that he looks rough on the outside, but he is too thoughtful on the inside. The more a person thinks, the heavier his sense of responsibility is, and the more he will be dragged down by worldly affairs. The two of us must have burned incense in our previous lives to have him as our eldest brother in this life!"

Gu Feiwan couldn't help but said teasingly, "Since Second Brother praised Big Brother so highly, I'm sure he won't tease him all the time in the future?"

Gu Shian raised his hand and picked up a piece of fresh bamboo shoots for himself. After eating, he put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and replied:

"How is that possible? I'm afraid that if my brother doesn't let me choke him a few times a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over!"

Gu Feiwan laughed out loud, and everything was going well.

She was about to leave the confinement period, and the weather in the south of the Yangtze River had already turned hot. Among the fresh produce brought by the boat girl, the water chestnuts and lotus pods were already very delicious.

Another thirty years later, Ning Weizhou finally decided on names for his two children.

The older sister's name is Ning Jinshu and the younger brother's name is Ning Yuanfan.

When Gu Shian heard this, he sneered, but Gu Feiwan liked it very much.

She felt that a sensational name was not as good as doing solid work.

As long as the girl is truly well-educated and the boy is ambitious, that's great!

The officials in Jiangnan quickly changed a group of people, and everyone wanted to curry favor with the Gu family and Ning Weizhou.

The full moon banquet for these two children became the best excuse.

"The general's two children were born in Wuzhou. It is a blessing for Wuzhou and the whole of Jiangnan!"

"Yes, for the sake of Jiangnan's blessings, we must also organize a decent banquet for the two children!"

"You two adults are right. This also shows that Jiangnan is vast and rich in resources!"

Ning Weizhou just smiled and said, "To be honest, I really want to stay and have a drink with the adults, but my wife is in a hurry to go to another place to inspect the business. You all know that I have never had a say at home..."
