Chapter 132: A Muscular Man for Sure
As Ying Liu left with his hands behind his back, satisfied, he had already agreed on a time for the transaction with Gu Yu.
As for the iron lion he brought, Ying Liu didn’t take it back, but directly gave it to Gu Yu as decoration.
Regardless of whether the legend of this iron lion was true or not, after his wives and concubines had given birth to several eldest sons at home, he no longer had much need for it.
It was useless in his hands, and it was quite heavy to carry back.
It was better to leave it at the Gu Residence!
After Gu Yu stood up to see Ying Liu off from the Gu Residence, he turned back to the reception room he had just been in, a proper smile on his face.
Although his expression didn’t show it, Gu Yu’s footsteps were swift, which showed his impatience.
He couldn’t help it; seeking treasure according to a treasure map was such an exciting thing that the more he thought about it, the more excited he became!
Before Gu Yu transmigrated, he had also read novels like “Notes on Tomb Raiding” and “Ghost Blows Out the Lamp,” and he greatly admired the protagonists who stole from tombs.
Just thinking about searching for treasure in dark, deserted tombs, that tense and exciting atmosphere was incomparable to anything else.
However, ghosts and zombies were a bit creepy…
Gu Yu mused… Now, it seemed he could give it a try.
However, unlike those lucky protagonists.
Even if Gu Yu was unlucky, he wouldn’t be in any danger!
Because he had the space to protect him.
Thinking of this, Gu Yu immediately put away the iron lion, preparing to let Gu Mengyao tear the iron lion in half again when she had time.
Speaking of which, his little wife was also truly fierce.
Such a heavy iron lion, she tore it as if it were paper, without any effort at all.
It made Gu Yu admire her a little…
“Brother-in-law, why do you look like you’ve succeeded in scheming against someone? Who did you trick this time!”
“Go, go, go, Gu Qingheng, are you so bored at home? Do you want me to find your sister and have her arrange something for you?”
Just as Gu Yu was thinking about these things, Gu Qingheng’s voice suddenly sounded. Gu Yu immediately rolled his eyes speechlessly upon hearing it.
Why was his younger brother-in-law so idle recently???
It seemed it was time to give him more homework.
For example, practicing martial arts for 24 hours…
“Oh no, brother-in-law, don’t! I finally escaped from the martial arts hell, and I don’t want to go back so soon! Look, my muscles have become more toned recently. How can I pretend to be a refined scholar in the future with this!”
“Having some muscles is good, you shouldn’t be so conflicted.”
“It’s me who turned into a muscular man, not you, brother-in-law, so you’re saying such indifferent remarks now!”
Then, upon mentioning muscles, Gu Qingheng immediately wilted.
Originally, Gu Qingheng wanted to become a dashing refined scholar, but if the current changes continued, he wouldn’t be dashing, but he would definitely be a muscular man.
Gu Qingheng had also protested to his own sister about this, but his protest was invalid… Gu Mengyao always thought Gu Qingheng wanted to be lazy, so he made up excuses not to practice martial arts.
Gu Qingheng was also very helpless about this.
Although he did have a little thought of being lazy mixed in, the fact that his muscles were growing bigger and bigger was true.
He didn’t want to become a muscular man!
“Seeing you so conflicted, it’s not a big deal! I’ll make you a medicinal powder later. After you finish practicing martial arts every day, soak in the bathtub, and it can effectively reduce the problem of prominent muscles.”
“Really?”
“Of course, don’t complain all the time. Be careful not to annoy your sister, or she’ll directly increase your training load.”
Seeing Gu Qingheng looking worried, Gu Yu pondered for a moment, then didn’t let his younger brother-in-law continue to worry.
When Gu Qingheng heard Gu Yu’s words, his eyes lit up. He immediately felt like a lonely boat drifting at sea that found a lighthouse guiding it with light, and also found its way home.
His brother-in-law was too good ah ah ah ah ah!
Gu Yu also felt very smug under Gu Qingheng’s admiring gaze.
He knew that his younger brother-in-law wouldn’t look at people like this normally… This shows he was truly troubled by his muscles.
Gu Yu had nothing to do at the moment, so he went straight back to his room to make medicine, and asked Gu Qingheng to come and get it tonight.
It should still be some time before Gu Mengyao and Gongsun Feifei returned from the party. If he didn’t find something to do, Gu Yu felt he would always be thinking about the bones in the iron lion.
Now, it was best to forget everything while making medicine for his younger brother-in-law!
If Gu Mengyao hadn’t returned after he finished making the medicine… Gu Yu felt he would have to proactively go and pick up his little wife.
…
“Mengyao, it’s been too long since we last met.”
“Yes, time waits for no one, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.”
After Gu Mengyao dressed up, she immediately followed Gongsun Feifei to a gathering held by the families of officials to strengthen her relationships with many women.
Before, under Gongsun Feifei’s guidance, Gu Mengyao had participated in many such gatherings.
However, because she had returned to Lian Town, Gu Mengyao had not appeared in the eyes of these dependents for a long time.
But because of Gu Mengyao’s special circumstances, people wouldn’t forget her.
They would only feel unfamiliar.
Gu Mengyao felt the same way.
Fortunately, after chatting for a while, the sense of familiarity returned, which made Gu Mengyao secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She had discussed future arrangements with Gu Yu. Upon hearing that they were going to settle in the capital for a few years, Gu Mengyao did not object, but she was a little reluctant to part with the leisurely life in Yang Family Village in Lian Town.
However, by living in the capital, she would also meet more new friends.
Unlike Gu Yu, who was a homebody, Gu Mengyao was more of an extrovert.
Therefore, with her younger brother about to participate in the imperial examinations, Gu Mengyao did not resist the suggestion to live in the capital, but she was a little worried if her little husband could get used to it.
However, thinking that Gu Yu never left his door and never stepped out of his courtyard, it shouldn’t be a big problem…
“Oh, isn’t this Xuan Qian, the most talented woman in the capital? Why is she here?”
“Hmph, she’s just too arrogant!”
“I heard that she refused the matchmaker sent by the Grand Scholar a few days ago. I don’t know what kind of man she’s looking for.”
“This is just because the royal family’s influence has withered. If it were in the past, if she didn’t find a prince, she probably wouldn’t get her wish.”
“Don’t pay attention to her anymore. Let’s think about what jade ware to buy at Diecui Tower tomorrow.”
Just as Gu Mengyao was thinking about future arrangements, a whisper suddenly arose nearby. When she looked in the direction everyone was pointing, she saw a beautiful woman in a white dress slowly walking towards them.
And under everyone’s gaze, her eyes met Gu Mengyao’s.
However, it was not the friendly politeness of a first meeting, but rather an expression full of disdain.
