Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general

There were four people standing in the front hall, two men and two women, all of them were tall and thin, dressed in black, with simple faces and firm eyes.

"These four have been with me for a long time. They are all miserable children. Now that they have grown up, they will have no future if they continue to follow a eunuch like me. It just so happens that the girl is here. I can do something for her, so that it won't be in vain to feed them all these years."

Huang Mazi pointed at one of the men and said, "This is their eldest brother. He couldn't speak when I picked him up. I named him Baishu. He learned boxing and can kill a horse with one punch!"

"This is the second oldest, Bai Shao. She's good at hidden weapons!"

"This is the third brother Baiji, he's an expert at tracking!"

"This is the fourth one, Bai Zhi. Her swordsmanship is so-so!"

"Hurry up and meet the girl!" Huang Mazi ordered in a deep voice.

The four of them knelt down in unison: "Greetings, young lady!"

"Alas, I am a cripple, and I have nothing to teach them. I just taught them some skills to serve people according to the rules of the palace. If the young lady is not satisfied with their use, I hope you can give them more opportunities and find someone to retrain them. I can beat them or scold them, but I will just give them a bite of food to eat."

After hearing what Huang Mazi said, Gu Feiwan realized that these four people must have a special relationship with Huang Mazi!

"What do you usually do?" Gu Feiwan asked.

Bai Shu raised his head slightly and said, "To answer the girl's question, I usually follow my godfather. He travels all over the country and I have no one to take care of me when I'm alone."

"Asshole!" Huang Mazi suddenly got anxious and threw a cup lid at him: "I'm the head of the Gu family in Jiangnan, do you still need someone to serve me?"

"Godfather has no shortage of people to serve him, but how many of them are as good at fighting as us? The Sheng family has always regarded us as thorns in their eyes and likes to stab them in the back. Without us, in the future..." Bai Zhi is the youngest, but seems to be the bravest. She muttered a lot until she was slapped on the head, then she stopped, but her eyes were still full of unconvinced!

Gu Feiwan smiled and said, "So that's how it is!"

She turned to Qingshuang and said, "Go call Lou Yi!"

After a while, Lou Er came in: "Madam, what do you want? Lou Yi is out with the general!"

"It's the same if you're here. Pick four men who are more skilled and agile for me, and go back with Shopkeeper Huang. Make sure they protect him!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Under our general's command, there are many people who can fight!" Lou Yi went there with a smile.

Huang Mazi held his hands up, looking helpless: "Girl, this... why do you still have to stick to me?"

Gu Feiwan said seriously, "You have always been the one working diligently in front of the business in Jiangnan. If the Gu family can't even protect you, who would dare to do business with our Gu family if this gets out?"

He pointed at the four people kneeling on the ground and said, "I know the rules of your palace. Since they call you godfather, they are here to take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life. You want to find a better future for them, but you are also putting them in an unfilial position!"

"Besides, if someone talks about it later, they will say that Gu Feiwan from the Gu family was scared by the Sheng family when he arrived in Jiangnan, and even the shopkeepers were snatched away!"

Gu Feiwan shook his head: "Shopkeeper Huang has ruined my reputation!"

Huang Mazi heard this and immediately stood up from his chair and knelt on the ground: "It was my fault for not thinking carefully and almost got the girl into trouble. Please punish me!"

"Hurry up, I don't like to kneel down easily. Besides, Manager Huang is very busy and only worries about me. What's wrong with that?" Gu Feiwan raised his chin. Qinglin understood and stepped forward to help Huang Mazi up.

"I will be staying in Jiangnan for a while this time. From now on, the account books and other matters can be sent here instead of all the way to the capital."

"Yes, do as the girl says!"

When the two of them talked about this, Ji Yueyi's voice came from outside the door:

"Breakfast is here, stop talking and fill your stomach first, then you will be energetic!"

"Oh, why are there four children kneeling here?" Ji Yueyi exclaimed.

"Please ask Aunt to have someone take them downstairs for dinner. This is their first time here, so they need to eat well and be well-fed!"

"That's easy. Leave it to me. Children, get up and follow me."

Ji Yueyi called out to them, and the four brothers and sisters of the Bai family stole a glance at Huang Mazi, then got up and left obediently.

Ning Weizhou came back at the end of breakfast.

Gu Feiwan introduced the people and told Huang Mazi the purpose of his visit. Ning Weizhou laughed heartily:

"Don't worry, Manager Huang. Fei Wan is my wife. I will definitely protect her."

After meeting Ning Weizhou, Huang Mazi didn't sit down again. He just said that he had eaten and drunk enough and had a lot of things to do outside, so he took his leave first.

Gu Feiwan didn't try to keep him and had him sent away safely.

"Miss, what does Shopkeeper Huang mean?" Qinglin thought thoughtfully: "Why does he look respectful, but I feel like there is a hint of temptation?"

Gu Feiwan looked back at her and said with a smile: "Our Qinglin has made great progress! He can be a shopkeeper in the future!"

Qinglin was not as thick-skinned as Qingshuang. He felt a little embarrassed after hearing the compliment: "I won't tell you, young lady. I was just talking seriously, but you made fun of me!"

"I'm not kidding you!" Gu Feiwan sat up straight. "You are someone I know well. If you don't have that talent, I will give you a dowry and choose someone for you to marry and become your proper wife."

"But if you have this talent and are willing to work, why can't you be a shopkeeper?"

After Gu Feiwan finished speaking, he raised his chin towards the door and said, "Huang Mazi is a eunuch, but the Gu family is still willing to use him. Besides, you are still my capable person."

Qinglin was delighted: "Girl, can I really do it? I am willing to do it. I won't marry anyone. I am willing to be the shopkeeper!"

"You have ambition!" Ning Weizhou praised from the side: "You are worthy of being trained by my wife. A woman should have ambitions like you!"

"Yes, this girl is right!" Sheng Bingwen's voice sounded outside the door.

"Grandfather, how did you get up?" Ning Weizhou immediately went to help him. Gu Feiwan also stood up and took two steps forward.

"Sit down, sit down!" Sheng Bingwen raised his hand towards Gu Feiwan: "We are a family, there is no need to be polite, and you are pregnant?"

After the commotion last night, Sheng Bingwen's face looked far less energetic than when he first saw him yesterday. His lips were black and his cheeks were grayish black.

He sat down with difficulty and sighed, "The Gu family is really good at educating people. Fei Wan has broad vision and is not bound by gender. Even the maids around her can have such vision. I am really ashamed of myself!"

He patted Ning Weizhou's hand and said, "If I had half the courage of the Gu family, I would not have taught your mother to be so weak and allow others to bully her. If she had been half as strong and decisive as Fei Wan, she would not have ended her life at such a young age!"
