Chapter 1008
1008 Longing
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Nian called Gu Xin and Gu si along and brought her men to look for old general Peng.
She was going to bring the cement to show old general Peng.
He would let the Peng family see it with their own eyes, and after it was done, he would let them try pushing it.
In the end, at the age of 28, old general Peng came to the Yamen to look for Gu Nian.
Gu Nian started experimenting again. She handed the matter over to Gu Xin and Gu shouxin and asked them to discuss it with old general Peng.
They talked about the price and how to use it.
Gu Xin was listening by the side, sharing her thoughts from time to time.
Old general Peng wanted to repair all three walls and ask Gu Nian if they could mass-produce them.
Gu shouxin directly asked old general Peng for the people. As for the silver, he didn’t ask for it. However, he hoped that old general Peng would submit a memorial to the Imperial court with him and approve a batch of silver to build the road from the CI province to kun city.
Naturally, old general Peng agreed. He also expressed that he would not take the credit and that it would all be given to the Gu family, especially Gu Nian.
Old general Peng was still lamenting that it was only natural for the Gu family to produce a Princess.
Gu shouxin smiled. With his niannian’s ability and the temperament of the two in the palace, she would definitely be a Princess when she returned to the capital.
Immediately, the two of them discussed sending a batch of cement back for the Emperor and the courtiers to see with their own eyes. This way, the silver would be transferred faster.
When old general Peng left, he couldn’t help but say,”Lord Gu, I’m looking forward to kun city in three years!”
“My family will not let you down!” Gu shouxin said.
……
On the 30th day of the 12th lunar month, Princess Jinghe and Gu Hui also returned from the camp for the new year. They even brought he sanniang with them.
This girl was familiar with Gu Hui, Jing, and the princess. She was also thick-skinned and wanted to spend the new year alone, so she insisted on following them.
The others who were alone were not as thick-skinned as her. Moreover, they were not familiar with Gu Hui, Jing, and Princess.
On Chinese New Year’s Eve, Gu Xin was in low spirits for the entire day.
In the past two New Year’s celebrations, brother Yuan Yuan would write couplets, paste couplets, hang lanterns, and then bring them to play together.
This year, there was only grandma Xiao, not brother Yuan Yuan.
A few days ago, she had gone to look for Cheng Huaiyu and asked the old General, General, and junior general Lu Zheng when he would be back.
They all said they didn’t know.
Gu Xin ran to the main entrance of the Yamen alone and sat on the stone steps. She wanted to wait. What if brother Yuanyuan came back?
There was no one passing by the Yamen, only an empty street.
This scene made her suddenly feel empty. She felt an inexplicable discomfort. She didn’t understand that this feeling was called longing.
A cold wind blew as Gu Ren strode out of the main hall with his short legs.”Third sister, does the cold wind taste good?”
Gu Xin was stunned for a moment before she pinched Gu Ren, ” “Bear with it, are you laughing at me for drinking cold wind?”
Gu Ren threw himself into Gu Xin’s arms. third sister, let’s go back. It’s cold!
I want to wait for brother Yuanyuan. What if he makes it back in time? ” Gu Xin stood up to help him stand properly.
“He’s doing a mission!” Gu Ren said. Besides, he doesn’t even know that we’ve arrived at kun city.”
Gu Xin squatted down and looked at Gu Ren, ” “Bear with it, third sister thinks that you are very sensible, different from other children. Like a little adult, tell me, why are you so smart?”
Gu Ren: ” Yingluo is naturally intelligent. I have no choice. My parents are too stupid. I have to be smarter!
Gu Xin laughed and held Gu Ren’s cold hand. “Alright, you’re naturally intelligent. However, he was still an ordinary person, and his chubby little hand was cold! Let’s go back.”
