It wasn't until Gu Fang and Jun Ruohan left the street that Jiang Tong brought Jiang Ling out.

"Take me to Master Zhuang's house!" Jiang Ling said.

"Ah? Good." Jiang Tong replied.

Jiang Ling followed the direction led by Jiang Tong and walked slowly. In fact, this time he went to Feng County, he planned to take Gu Fang with him, but now, he changed his mind.

Although Zhuang Zhou is Tang Long's subordinate, it shouldn't hurt to use it.

Old General Gu was sitting under the locust tree in the yard to enjoy the shade. At this moment, he was desolately like an empty nest old man, feeling wronged no matter what he thought.

No, no matter what you say today, you have to invite your wife home.

Gu Huan has done enough mental construction, and finally came to the General's Mansion after almost six years.

He stood outside the general's mansion and looked up at the writing on the lintel, as if it had been a lifetime ago.

There was a gentle breeze, bringing the sound of playfulness from near to far.

"Let's set a time soon!" Gu Fang's voice was full of joy, as if he had obtained the best thing in the world.

"Looking at the whole Da Yue, I'm afraid there is no one thicker than you." Jun Ruohan just teased him casually, but this man took it seriously, and caught him all the way from the street to the gate of the house.

Old General Gu stood beside the stone lion, subconsciously frowned. If he remembered correctly, his wife told him that this kid was going to meet the daughter of the Lin family tonight, why did he come back with a man.

The atmosphere between the two was still indescribably weird, and he couldn't explain where the weirdness was, but this weird feeling was a bit familiar.

"That only shows that you have little knowledge." Gu Fang said, this is an exaggeration, and looking at the whole Da Yue, he is just expressing what he thinks in his heart, why is he thick-skinned?

Jun Ruohan stopped and looked at him: "Yes, I'm really short-sighted, I haven't seen anyone do this kind of thing, and I have to make an appointment in advance."

Don't say it's an appointment, who would talk about this kind of thing all the time!

That's what his senior brother thought.

"Not only do I want to make an appointment in advance, I also want to burn incense and worship Buddha that day, as a commemoration!" Gu Fang thought about that scene, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Jun Ruohan's eyebrows twitched, and he felt a pain in his head: "The Lord Buddha will probably want to kill you."

As soon as Gu Fang thought of that day coming, the smile on his face couldn't stop expanding: "I'm here, you..."

As soon as he raised his head, wanting to say that he had arrived home, he saw an old man with a dark face standing next to the big lion.

"...Father?" He exclaimed in shock.

"What are you shouting for?" Old General Gu shouted louder than him, every time this bastard sees him, he always makes such a fuss.

Gu Fang's sound not only startled Gu Huan, but also startled Jun Ruohan behind him.

Jun Ruohan raised his eyes and met the heavy gaze cast by Old General Gu.

Their eyes met, even though they hadn't seen each other for so many years, Gu Huan still guessed who he was at a glance.

"Grassman Gu Huan pays his respects to the emperor."

Regardless of what was right and what was wrong at the beginning, the winner is king after all, Jun Ruohan is now the son of Da Yue.

"Old General Gu, don't need to be too polite." Jun Ruohan raised his hand, already accepting the casual and lazy expression he had just played with Gu Fang.

"This time I rushed to help Fengming Pass, I am here to thank the general on behalf of the people of Dayue." The emperor paused at Gu Huan very formally.

Gu Huan hurriedly replied: "The country is in danger, everyone is responsible, and it is the grass people's honor to share the worries of Da Yue."

Gu Fang shrunk his head and watched the two talking to each other. He felt a wave of fear, and cold sweat flowed down his temples.

What was he discussing with Jun Ruohan just now?

Now that I think about it, it's unbearable. Fortunately, I didn't say anything shocking to the world. Dad probably wouldn't think too much about it!

"Then I'll go back to the palace first." Before leaving, Jun Ruohan glanced at Gu Fang who was standing aside, without saying anything.

Gu Huan didn't turn his gaze to Gu Fang until he couldn't see the figure of that person.

"Father..." Although he didn't know what he did wrong again, when he saw the look in his father's eyes, he started to feel scared.

"Come in with me." Gu Huan dropped a sentence, and then stepped into the general's mansion with his hands behind his back.

Gu Fang followed behind him, like a child who did something wrong and was waiting to be punished.

"General..." Uncle Fu saw someone coming in, took a closer look, and found that it was the old general. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted tremblingly: "The old general is back."

"Hey, don't shout..." Gu Huan just raised his hand, wanting to say that he just came to see his wife, and he didn't need to mobilize the crowd.

But he didn't want Uncle Fu's voice to call all the servants of the General's Mansion.

Although there are not many servants in the General's Mansion, most of them have stayed here for more than ten years, especially Fu Bo, the housekeeper, and Aunt Chun, the cook, who followed Gu Huan when he was young.

It was the first time that Gu Fang saw everyone gather so quickly, his eyes almost popped out immediately.

"General, you are finally back, we miss you so much!" Fu Bo wiped away the tears that Gu Fang didn't see from the corners of his eyes, and said with emotion.

"Yes, the old lady is here, and the family is finally reunited..."

Gu Fang had already been squeezed out of the circle, and he licked his lips dryly. He has never treated them badly when he was the master of the general's mansion these days, how could he be ignored like this!

The old lady thought it was her son who came back, and wanted to ask how the conversation with Miss Lin was going, but when she came out to see, it was the old man who was crying and howling.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say that you will not enter the general's mansion even if you are killed?" Mrs. Gu was happy to see his joke, and she wanted to prod him again.

"Didn't he be killed?" Gu Huan said, and then he dragged his wife to the backyard, "I have something to ask you, let's talk in the study."

study?

Gu Fang raised his eyes to look at his father through the crowd.

Gu Huan seemed to realize that the study was no longer his study, and he stood on the steps and glanced condescendingly at his son.

Gu Fang said immediately: "Please go ahead."

Although he was also very curious about what the two of them were going to discuss in secret, he couldn't listen to the gentleman in the corner.

"I saw the emperor at the door just now, he came back with that bastard." The first thing Gu Huan did when he entered the study was to scan the study up, down, left, and right, and finally sat on a chair on one side and said the main point directly.

"Oh, you said Ruohan, Fang'er went to listen to an opera with Miss Lin in Biyun Garden today, and I went too, and I happened to meet Ruohan, so I asked him to watch Fang'er for me, and come back together now... ...Aren't you showing embarrassment to others?" Mrs. Gu asked suddenly.

"Ruohan Ruohan, you really think of him as the child at that age, he is the emperor of Da Yue." Gu Huan said, "Although the bastard stole his father's soldier amulet back then, it was for Jun Ruohan, but it wasn't Jun Ruohan. If Ruohan instructed him to do it, what face should I give to others?"

"Yo, it's rare for you to be rational again!" Mrs. Gu said, "But, you just want to tell me this?"

Gu Huan's face changed, and he was silent for a moment before he said, "Do you think Fang'er and the emperor...is there anything unusual about them?"

Old Madam Gu paused while drinking tea, frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

"I... just feel that they seem to be walking too close." Gu Huan said, "When I saw them at the gate of the general's mansion just now, you don't know that when they talked... they didn't look half like a monarch and a minister."

"You don't want to be like an enemy because of Lu Zheng's matter. Maybe...their brothers and sisters have a good relationship." Mrs. Gu hesitated. After saying this, she found that she couldn't even convince herself.

When Lu Zheng was mentioned, both of them fell into silence.

He felt that listening to the corner was not done by a gentleman, but Gu Fang thought he was not a gentleman, so he probably became the first master to eavesdrop outside his study.

Hearing this, Gu Fang only felt that his heart was in a mess, and his father's sharp eyes really began to doubt them.

But, what does this have to do with Uncle Lu?

"Forget it, I was planning to pick you up today, so you should continue to live here and keep an eye on that kid." Gu Huan spoke again after a long time.

"I have something else that I haven't told you about." Mrs. Gu sighed heavily while pinching the cup in her hand.

"What?" Gu Huan had an intuition that it was not a good thing.

Mrs. Gu lowered her voice: "That day the lantern festival was by the Lanshui River, when you went to buy river lanterns, I met Fang'er."

"Why didn't I see it?" Gu Huan said.

"I told you that you went to buy a lamp, can you listen to people?" Mrs. Gu felt that sometimes it was really difficult to communicate with this husband.

"Oh."

"He and a man are also putting lights by the river, and... the behavior of the two is very ambiguous."

The voice inside suddenly dropped, and Gu Fang's ears were pressed against the door, but he couldn't hear what the two of them said afterwards, so he had to give up and straighten his clothes and go to the front hall. Not good.

"He...he dared to..." Mr. Gu only felt that the blood in his body rushed to Tianling Gaier, and his face turned red immediately, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

"I'm telling you? I'm telling you, why don't you beat him to death?" Mrs. Gu said, "Besides, I asked him, and he said it was a young lady from the Black Bamboo Courtyard..."

"Xiao Guan?" Gu Huan snorted coldly, "With his bad mouth, when did he say something reliable?"

Mrs. Gu sighed and said: "There is no one who knows a son like a father, he really lied to me."

"..." General Gu.

"I went to Black Bamboo Courtyard to ask. There is no young lady named Qiuzhu, and there is no such tall young lady."

There was silence in the study again.

Both of them had a guess in their hearts, but neither dared to say it out, as if as long as they didn't say it, it was just that they were worrying too much about it.

"Tomorrow, I will find someone to go to the Lin family to propose marriage." Gu Huan said suddenly.

Madam Gu pursed her lips: "Okay."

Gu Fang didn't expect it at all, but in just a moment, they had already settled the marriage for him.
