A few days were spent in the capital. Besides raiding the Wang Clan, Gu Yu also met up with Chengfeng Shan and Maoyuan Tang for a brief reunion.
After Chengfeng Shan married Lin Yue, when Gu Yu saw him again, he looked extremely happy, his mouth stretched almost to his ears, much to the annoyance of Maoyuan Tang, who clearly looked down on married men.
Unlike Chengfeng Shan, he, a single noble, was free and very happy.
Even without a wife…
Sigh, he didn’t know when his father would let him get married!
However, Gu Yu was also a married man and did not look like Chengfeng Shan.
As expected, newly married couples were just more clingy!
While Maoyuan Tang was thinking about these things, Gu Yu did not stay long. He directly spoke, saying he wanted to go back to eat with his wife, and then the two would stroll around, not wasting the good times.
After saying this, Maoyuan Tang immediately took back what he had just said.
These guys just bully single people!
Bully him for not having a wife!
After Gu Yu finished speaking, Chengfeng Shan immediately opened his folding fan, fanned it a few times, and said he was going back to eat with Lin Yue, otherwise, what would he do if she was picky? She had a precious baby in her belly!
This made Maoyuan Tang wave his hand, signaling for them to leave quickly!
Staying here any longer would just be an eyesore.
He would continue to join his father in trying cases.
This year, he had to solve more cases, so maybe he could persuade his father to find him a wife…
“What? Lin Yue is pregnant, and they just got married not long ago!”
“I was also very surprised when I heard this news, but… it’s not impossible.”
After Gu Yu returned home, he sat by the table, cracking melon seeds, and told Gu Mengyao the news of Lin Yue’s pregnancy. Gu Mengyao’s expression was very surprised when she heard it, clearly not expecting Lin Yue to be pregnant so quickly.
They had only been on the battlefield for a few months, it was too fast!
They had only just gotten married…
“Yu, are children fun?”
“…”
Thinking that Chengfeng Shan and Lin Yue, who had married later than them, already had children, Gu Mengyao asked tentatively at this moment.
This made Gu Yu’s action of cracking melon seeds stop. He then looked up in a daze at his wife, whose cheeks were flushed red, and his heart was truly entangled.
This hint was too obvious!
However, it was not possible yet.
They were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and thinking about these things was not good…
“Cough, cough, they are quite fun. But serving these children is too troublesome. You have to wake up early every day, feed them, clean them up, and coax them… Also, I heard that if you have a child too young, your body will change drastically, with all sorts of fat and wrinkles…”
“Okay, okay, let’s go tease someone else’s child!”
To dispel Gu Mengyao’s thoughts, Gu Yu said earnestly at this moment, which made Gu Mengyao’s eyes widen. She immediately shook her head, thinking it was better not to have children now!
Let’s wait a few more years!
After seeing that Gu Mengyao had finally dispelled this idea, Gu Yu felt very distressed, thinking that his chance for intimate contact with his little wife had just slipped away for nothing.
Sigh!
However, even if it were possible, Gu Yu would not agree.
It was for Gu Mengyao’s sake.
It was better to let his little wife think that he was a man who was not affected by worldly desires!
Wuwuwu…
“Mengyao, if you really like children, isn’t your other little brother, Gu Heng, available? He’s almost two years old this year, and I can see he can already walk.”
“Although Xiao Heng is also fun, newborn babies are very cute!”
“In that case, when Lin Yue’s child is born, let her recognize you as a god… aunt, and then you can visit more often.”
“Can it be like this?”
Just as Gu Yu was about to say “godmother,” he suddenly remembered that Gu Mengyao was only fifteen years old, and being a godmother was a bit inappropriate.
So, it was better to be an aunt.
Gu Mengyao looked tempted by Gu Yu’s suggestion, and when she asked in an uncertain tone, Gu Yu nodded reassuringly, indicating that it was absolutely possible.
Even before being born, she had a female general as an aunt, she could really smile in her dreams!
“Why not? Godfather and godmother sound a bit old-fashioned. Aunt is better.”
“I’ve never heard of recognizing an aunt…”
“After you recognize me, won’t it be done! It’s not a difficult thing, so don’t overthink it.”
Seeing Gu Yu’s firm expression, Gu Mengyao stopped dwelling on it.
Since Yu said it was okay, then it was okay!
However, after knowing that Lin Yue was pregnant, Gu Mengyao thought… she should go and see her today!
She could also bring some gifts to visit and chat with Lin Yue, and confirm this matter of recognizing an aunt!
Although she couldn’t have children yet, Lin Yue could!
However, just as Gu Mengyao was thinking about what to bring, Gongsun Jie led the army back to the capital, making all the civilians in the capital cheer, and the bustling cheers reached the Gu Residence, so that people knew what had happened without having to inquire.
At this time, Gu Mengyao could only sigh, then she no longer thought about finding Lin Yue, but left the house with Gu Yu and quickly walked towards the Gu Residence’s main gate, preparing to welcome Gu Qing back to the residence.
Unlike Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu, even if Gu Qing wanted to return early, Gongsun Jie would not let him go, so he could only stay in the military camp and help deal with some miscellaneous matters, feeling very annoyed.
However, even if he couldn’t return, on the night before Gu Yu left the military camp, Gu Qing still sent a chest filled with good things from his subordinates, which was considered the father-in-law’s token of affection.
Gu Yu accepted such a token of affection with a smile and directly threw it into his space.
Now, seeing his father-in-law about to return, Gu Yu felt a sense of distress, thinking that after returning to the capital this time, Gu Qing would be even more at ease!
If he wanted to find something, he could find it immediately, wouldn’t that mean sending several chests a day…
Thinking of this, Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao also arrived at the Gu Residence’s main gate. Gongsun Feifei was already there, looking anxious and excited, clearly missing Gu Qing very much.
And Gu Heng, held by his wet nurse, was giggling at this time. His fair and cute little face made people want to touch it.
Upon seeing Gu Mengyao, Gu Heng immediately waved his small hands in the air, and then repeatedly called out “Sister,” making Gu Mengyao’s face light up. She then went to tease her little brother.
Gu Yu was indifferent to children. He didn’t like them or dislike them. However… after witnessing Gu Heng’s crying prowess before, Gu Yu dared not approach him easily, so he stood still at the moment, quietly waiting for Gu Qing to return.
“Honestly, I was just pooping, and then I heard my dad was back. I ran all the way here, and it tired me out!”
Not long after Gu Mengyao and Gu Yu arrived, Gu Qingheng also hurried over. After resting enough, he came to Gu Yu’s side, still panting as he spoke.
When Gu Yu heard that his brother-in-law had just returned from the toilet, he immediately took a few steps back, looking disgusted, and kept a distance from Gu Qingheng.
Seeing this, Gu Qingheng smiled and quickly moved closer to Gu Yu.
“Vice General Gu Qing has arrived!”
Just as Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng were playfully bumbling, a loud voice suddenly sounded, causing them to quickly let go of each other and then assume a serious and solemn expression.
After getting along for a long time, they had developed an incredible chemistry.
Like their current appearance, Gu Mengyao, who was standing nearby, clicked her tongue, thinking that these two were too in sync!
“Haha, Mengyao, Gu Yu, I’m so envious that you could return in advance! I had to deal with military affairs, which delayed me until now, which really made me…”
“My Lord, now that you’re back, don’t say these things. You’ve had a hard journey, hurry inside and rest.”
When Gu Qing dismounted his horse, wearing heavy armor, Gu Yu felt hot for him… but there was no other way.
After all, upon returning to the capital, the generals had to ride their horses through the city to show off their imposing presence, so that the cheers of the masses would be louder, and they would trust Linfeng Kingdom even more.
In this way, through word of mouth, the civilians of Linfeng Kingdom would admire the country even more.
This would prevent them from panicking and causing serious consequences in case of future wars.
Take the wars of the past two years, for example. The civilians of Linfeng Kingdom, who had not experienced war for a long time, thought the sky was falling when the first war broke out… But now they were used to it and did not panic at all, which was progress.
“Okay, I’ll go inside and rest! Qingheng and Xiao Heng, do you miss Dad!”
“I’ve been reading the books of sages during this period, and I feel much more fulfilled, so it’s just so-so, Linfeng third! What about you, Dad, did you bring me anything good! If not, then I don’t miss you.”
“Of course, I brought it. I’ll give it to you after we go inside.”
Gu Qingheng hastily dodged when Gu Qing wanted to pick him up, thinking that he was already a little man and didn’t want to be lifted up or anything like that!
Then, after Gu Qingheng’s playful words, Gu Qing couldn’t help but laugh heartily. He then took Gu Heng into his arms with one hand and walked into the Gu Residence.
After such a long journey, he was really tired to death.
Fortunately, the war was over, and he could rest for a while… Thinking that after Gongsun Jie abdicated, he might have to take over as the Great General, Gu Qing felt a headache.
Tomorrow, he would also have to accept the Emperor’s rewards. He didn’t know what the rewards would be…
