The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Uncle Jiang Wu has been coming to my grandparents' house at dinner time these past few days and has been busy outside during the day.

That day, when Gu Jinchu was seeing him off, he said, "I will return tomorrow after greeting the elders."

The Duke Dingguo's Mansion and the General's Mansion are both in Gu'an, and the journey by car only takes half a cup of tea.

Having Master Jiang Wu go back and forth like this to accompany her every day, after a long time, even if Madam Jiang doesn't say anything, there will be people talking about it behind her back.

Master Jiang Wu heard his footsteps pause, tilted his head and looked at her, and whispered, "Are you finally willing to go back to Yuanyuan Hall?"

His eyes were gentle, and there seemed to be a hint of accusation in his deep voice.

He took Gu Jinchu's hands and stood face to face with her. He leaned over and put his forehead against hers, and whispered to her, "When you get up from your nap, I'll come pick you up?"

Gu Jinchu shook his head: "I will meet Wan'er at Jinsu Dianshi tomorrow. When we are done, I will go back by myself."

Master Jiang Wu also shook his head. "I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty tomorrow morning. I have something to discuss. I will come to you after I finish my work here."

He raised his chin slightly, kissed her forehead, and said, "...I won't disturb you."

Although he was still on vacation during the first month of the year, he hadn't been able to spend enough time with her recently.

He wanted to go back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion with her.

Gu Jinchu looked up at him, quickly kissed the corner of his lips, and said "hmm" softly.

......

The next morning, after breakfast, Gu Jinchu took the maids and old women to his grandmother's house to say goodbye to the elders.

Master Jiang Wu went to the palace to meet the emperor early in the morning, so naturally no one would care about the etiquette.

After all, the Zheng family knew what Master Jiang Wu and Qin Lang had been doing recently.

When they arrived at Jinsu Dianshi Bureau, Wan'er and her brother General Luo had already arrived early, and even Wen Ge'er was there too.

After several months of separation, Luo Waner had grown taller and seemed to have been tanned. Even the skin on her face was blown by the frontier wind and was no longer as delicate as it was in Shengjing City.

Gu Jinchu lifted the car curtain and couldn't wait to greet her with a smile and a wave of his hand: "Wan'er!"

Luo Guaner had already stepped down from the stone steps and was standing by the road waiting for her.

When Gu Jinchu got off the carriage, he was surprised when he saw her obviously bulging belly.

Unable to control the volume, she exclaimed: "Jinchu, you are pregnant!"

Apparently Gu Wen didn't say anything and told her anything in advance. He received a dissatisfied glance from Luo Guaner, and his face became nervous, and his walking posture became awkward.

When the shopkeeper of the pastry shop saw his boss coming, he came out to greet him respectfully.

Please invite the distinguished guests to the private room on the second floor. Under the instruction of Gu Jinchu, the second floor of Jinsu Dim Sum Bureau is not open to the public today.

Luo Guaner and Gu Jinchu did not let go of each other's hands. As she was surrounded by people, she could not help but look around while walking.

Looking back and meeting his brother's eyes, he realized that he had changed a lot during the time they were away!

Gu Jinchu held her hand and said with a smile: "When I wrote back to you last time, I hadn't diagnosed pregnancy yet."

The last time I received a letter from Wan'er from the border was a few days ago, and the last time I wrote back to her was three months ago.

Wan'er had just arrived at the border and came to report her safety to Gu Jinchu and describe the beauty of the grassland scenery at the border.

It’s just that the journey is too long, so the letter will take a little longer to deliver.

Luo Wan'er held her chin and looked at Gu Jinchu. She felt that after not seeing her for a few months, the change in her was not just that she was pregnant, but that she had become a completely different person.

The simplest way to put it is that it is more beautiful than before.

"Jin Chu, from what the shopkeeper said just now, are you the owner of this store?" Luo Guaner asked after taking a sip of milk tea.

Gu Jinchu pushed the snacks brought by the waiter in front of her and nodded to General Luo who had remained silent. "Yes, what do you think? Do you want to open a store like this in Tumubao?"

Luo Waner's father was Luo Quan, a deputy commander of the Beijing Guard Command, a rank four. Luo Xingzhou, the young general, was the only legitimate son of Lord Luo, but he ran away to the frontier and was stationed in Tumubao.

There were frequent conflicts with the Oirat tribe there, but this did not affect the beautiful scenery of the border, and there were also great business opportunities there.

In his previous life, Gu Jinchu also received a letter from Wan'er and had thought about going to find her.

After listening to Gu Jinchu's words, Luo Waner thought about it seriously, but she was thinking about something else.

Although both are frontier fortresses, Tumu Fort and Ningyuan City are different.

Ningyuan City is mostly populated by Han Chinese, and it is easy to communicate with local governments. Convenient transportation allows for trade exchanges, and the people living there can meet their daily needs.

Tumubao is different, as there are more nomadic peoples. Not only is the grassland vast, but transportation is also blocked, and many places are inaccessible.

My brother came back to attend the funeral this time, also thinking of asking the new emperor to build official roads, post stations and other transportation facilities for Tumu Fort.

After hearing what Luo Waner said, Gu Wen's eyes lit up and he said, "If we connect the Central Plains and Tumubao, why would we have to worry about farming?

The horses, furs, tea and silk in the hands of the nomadic peoples will not have to worry about sales. With money and a prosperous life, perhaps there will be fewer wars. "

After all, it’s all because of poverty.

As soon as Gu Wen said this, Luo Guaner felt as if she had suddenly realized something, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay! It's not in vain that I went to the Imperial College... I'll be waiting for your good news in Tumubao when the spring examination comes this year!"

Gu Wen supported himself with his elbows on the table in front of him to steady himself so as not to lose face under her palm.

He recovered and said, "How could I know these? I just read a travelogue of my third cousin and got some inspiration from it."

The third cousin that Gu Wen mentioned was Zheng Kaicheng, the top scorer in the imperial examination last spring.

He had traveled to many places and compiled his experiences into travel notes, which were very popular in Shengjing City.

Luo Xingzhou at the side said, "Brother Gu Wen needs to have a broad mind and really understand the customs and practices of the border areas before he can say something that will truly benefit them."

Gu Wen was shy, waved his hands, and whispered: "I am just talking nonsense."

After saying this, he glanced at Luo Waner inconspicuously, then lowered his eyes.

Luo Guaner swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Gu Jinchu with great interest, "Jinchu, the scenery of the grassland is really beautiful... It's boundless and makes people feel so insignificant. In an instant, many troubles disappear..."

After Master Jiang Wu came out of the palace, he told the driver to go directly to Jin Su Dim Sum Bureau.

After knowing that Jin Chu was on the second floor, he didn't want to disturb her.

But when he heard what Bai Zhi said, he stopped in his tracks as he was about to step out of the door.
