Chapter 115: Brother-in-law, wait for me!
Since Gu Qing returned, the Gu Residence has been extremely lively.
Because of Gu Qing’s victory celebration, the Gu Residence’s butler doubled the wages of the maids and servants.
This generous gesture made the servants in the mansion smile non-stop, each one feeling lucky to be working in the Gu Residence. It was truly wonderful!
Working for other officials meant worrying about being treated as an object for venting, being casually scolded and insulted, with no way for servants to resist.
Otherwise, there would be even more severe consequences.
However, in the Gu Residence, such worries were non-existent.
Gu Qing, as the master of the house, spent his days practicing martial arts or accompanying his family, with no time to find fault.
Gongsun Feifei also had a good personality and was not harsh on the servants. As long as they did their jobs, there was nothing else to worry about.
However, there were some cunning maids before who, relying on their youth and beauty, secretly tried to seduce Gu Qing, hoping to become concubines and live a life of worry-free food and clothing forever.
Although Gu Qing was a bit older, besides his position as deputy general, he was also robust and handsome, which greatly attracted these young maids who were experiencing their first love.
However, Gu Qing had no such intentions.
It was better to have only one woman.
Otherwise, it would disrupt the peace of the household and delay his martial arts practice, which was a loss that outweighed the gain.
Gongsun Feifei, whom he married, performed exceptionally well in all aspects. She didn’t bother him too much and managed all the big and small matters in the mansion.
This made Gu Qing very relieved, and afterwards, he didn’t have to worry about anything else, focusing solely on honing his martial arts.
It had to be said that in this regard, Gu Mengyao was indeed Gu Qing’s daughter. The father and daughter were extremely similar… Once they started practicing martial arts, they immediately entered a state where they couldn’t be disturbed. Gu Yu had been somewhat jealous before, wondering if martial arts were more important or if he was.
However, after Gu Mengyao went to the battlefield multiple times, Gu Yu no longer thought that way.
Gu Mengyao’s stronger martial arts meant she was safer on the battlefield.
After Gu Qing disappointed these young maids, some women who refused to give up secretly climbed into Gu Qing’s bed, hoping to turn the raw rice into cooked rice.
When meat was delivered to your doorstep, how could you not eat it!
Unfortunately, Gu Qing really didn’t eat it.
In the end, it was Gongsun Feifei who stepped in and resolved these women’s issues… Although Gongsun Feifei usually appeared gentle and amiable, after she got angry, she was terrifying!
At least, after Gongsun Feifei had an outburst once, no one dared to challenge the authority of the mistress of the house again.
“Mengyao, father-in-law seems to have drunk too much. I saw him smiling foolishly at a tree by himself on my way to the latrine!”
“Mm, Auntie Fei has already sent someone. He just came back today, he must be too happy!”
After the family sat in the backyard eating and drinking, when Gu Yu sat back in his chair and spoke to Gu Mengyao, he still remembered his father-in-law’s appearance while crying and laughing at the tree, and immediately felt how terrifying drunk people were!
And after hearing Gu Yu’s words, Gu Mengyao replied with a helpless look, saying there was no need to worry, someone had already helped Gu Qing back to his room to rest.
The people currently sitting in the backyard, besides Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao, were only Gu Qingheng, who was still drinking wine sip by sip, with no signs of drunkenness on his face. He looked quite normal.
However, after witnessing his father-in-law’s drunken state, Gu Yu unconsciously looked at his younger brother-in-law, thinking that Gu Qingheng had also drunk a lot of wine, but now he was fine. Could it be that his alcohol tolerance had increased recently?
“Qingheng also drank a lot, is he also drunk?”
“He should be fine. I think my younger brother-in-law looks quite normal, maybe his tolerance has increased recently.”
“Only those who are supremely sincere in the world can govern the great principles of the world, establish the great foundation of the world, and know the creation of heaven and earth. Why lean on anything? True benevolence! Profound abyss! Vast sky! If not firmly…”
“…”
Listening to Gu Mengyao’s words, Gu Yu shook his head and said it was unlikely.
However, just after Gu Yu finished speaking, Gu Qingheng also chuckled, then heavily placed the wine glass in his hand on the table, opened his mouth, and started reciting, making Gu Yu involuntarily raise his hand to his forehead, thinking that Gu Qingheng was also drunk.
Gu Qingheng’s drunken state had always been different from ordinary people, so hearing him say these things, it was certain that he had drunk too much.
“I’ll take him back first! Mengyao, after you’ve eaten enough, hurry back too!”
“Yu, can you move Qingheng?”
“It’s fine, he’s just a child, how heavy can he be.”
After Gu Yu finished speaking, to prove that he could indeed move Gu Qingheng, he quickly walked to his side, then extended a hand to place it under Gu Qingheng’s arms, intending to lift him directly.
But, just as Gu Yu thought… he could drag Gu Qingheng up, he failed.
Gu Qingheng did not struggle or move when he was drunk, but he was dead weight, making it impossible to pull him up.
After trying a few more times, Gu Yu directly gave up.
He didn’t know if it was because Gu Qingheng was growing, but he had become much heavier than before!
Of course, perhaps because he was drunk, he couldn’t exert his strength.
In any case, Gu Yu absolutely refused to admit that his own strength was small.
“Yu, let me do it! I’ve also eaten enough. After taking Qingheng back to his room, we’ll go back together.”
“Okay.”
Seeing that Gu Yu couldn’t move Gu Qingheng, Gu Mengyao’s lips curved upwards. Then, as she spoke, she walked to Gu Qingheng’s side, reached out, and pulled him up from his seat, then easily took Gu Qingheng back.
This made Gu Yu, standing nearby, truly envious, thinking of his little wife’s divine strength. No matter who saw it, they would yearn for it!
If one could possess such powerful talent, they could be arrogant and domineering, and no one would dare to interfere…
“Mengyao, you have to go to court tomorrow, so rest early!”
“I drank with my father today and drank a little too much, my head is a bit dizzy. Yu, help me walk!”
“…”
Although Gu Yu didn’t believe that a drunk person could easily carry Gu Qingheng back.
However, since Gu Mengyao said so, Gu Yu naturally wouldn’t refuse.
However, the moment he helped Gu Mengyao, she used her drunkenness as an excuse to harass him, making Gu Yu’s heart itch, and he wished he could “take care” of Gu Mengyao, this little enchantress.
His little wife was definitely not drunk!
But, with this seductive behavior now, Gu Yu clearly knew what she wanted to do.
Obviously, the words he had said during the day had not dispelled Gu Mengyao’s thoughts.
Gu Yu understood this.
After all, people in ancient times got married very early. After the coming-of-age ceremony at fifteen, they were considered adults and could do “shy” things…
However, Gu Yu was not an ancient person.
Having transmigrated from modern times, he still wanted to adhere to the theory of becoming an adult at eighteen. Even if many people liked to “steal forbidden fruit,” it would definitely not be him.
Even though he was already married to Gu Mengyao and they were legally husband and wife, Gu Yu didn’t want to “touch” Gu Mengyao so early.
This was his responsibility to Gu Mengyao.
It was also his responsibility to himself.
Therefore, at this moment, after being teased by the little enchantress for half the night, Gu Yu, like the Tang Monk being teased by female demons, still held onto his original intentions without any wavering.
Of course, when he could no longer bear it, Gu Yu secretly sprinkled some sleeping powder, which finally made Gu Mengyao yawn from sleepiness and then fall into a deep slumber.
Gu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, thinking that the meticulously prepared powder had finally come in handy!
The previous sleeping powder was too potent and would have been noticed by Gu Mengyao.
However, the newly formulated powder did not have such concerns.
Indeed, studying medicine was the right choice.
Afterwards, Gu Yu first entered his space to take a cold shower with spring water, then organized the items, harvested the herbs he had planted, and transformed the recently received good deeds points into detoxification pills in the Pot of Benevolent Aid.
He didn’t know if it was because the space hadn’t been upgraded, but even though Gu Yu had saved many people, the space prompt had not chimed again. However, the good deeds points were all accounted for.
Moreover, the pills produced by the Pot of Benevolent Aid were all detoxification pills.
There was no novelty at all.
Even his Medical Scripture had updated its prescriptions, but he didn’t expect the Pot of Benevolent Aid to be so ineffective.
Thinking about these things, after finishing organizing his space, Gu Yu quietly slipped out of the space. Seeing Gu Mengyao already asleep, his heart finally felt at ease.
His wife was fierce!
He didn’t know what other tricks awaited him in the future… In any case, he just had to grit his teeth and not give up halfway!
……
The night passed without incident, and morning arrived.
Because he slept late yesterday, Gu Yu opened his eyes groggily, and Gu Mengyao, who was beside him, had already left to go to court to receive rewards.
It was similar to the usual situation, but today there was a small change.
Feeling some discomfort on his face, Gu Yu looked in the bronze mirror and found that he had been painted into a big tabby cat by Gu Mengyao…
Clearly, yesterday’s plan had failed, and Gu Mengyao had used this as a vent.
In response, Gu Yu could only smile helplessly, then washed away the ink on his face with clear water, pondering that this couldn’t go on, and should they sleep in separate beds?
No, if they didn’t sleep together, he wouldn’t be able to hold his little wife at night.
Therefore, he still had to endure it.
“Brother-in-law, why are you still here! Hurry up and come out, my sister is back from court.”
“It’s not like you haven’t been to court before, why the rush.”
Just as Gu Yu finished washing up and thinking about what to eat, Gu Qingheng pushed open the door and entered excitedly. Upon seeing Gu Yu’s unhurried demeanor, he quickly said something.
This made Gu Yu a bit puzzled, thinking that Gu Mengyao had been to court several times before, what was so strange about it?
Why the rush?
“This time it’s remarkable! My sister brought back a pile of rewards, carloads of them, it was so spectacular.”
And Gu Qingheng, seeing the expression on Gu Yu’s face, naturally guessed what he was thinking, so he quickly got to the point, and what he said made Gu Yu’s eyes light up.
Seeing this, Gu Qingheng added more fuel.
“It is said that they are all valuable treasures!”
“Then why are you standing there foolishly, let’s go!”
“Oh my, brother-in-law, wait for me!”
