Kuaiwen: I earn a pension by breaking through the game

Chapter 249 The Bride Dedicated to the Mountain God (39)

"Hehe, that's really unfortunate. My eighteenth birthday just happened a few days ago."

"You'd better just call me sister~hahahaha."

Although the difference between the two is not that big, the feeling of being suppressed by others is really unpleasant.

Gu Xiao put his hands on his hips and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Then he stretched out his hand and drew a line in the direction of Wen Rushi, and asked unconvincedly.

"What about him? Is he older than me too?"

When this topic was mentioned, Jiang Qiuchen looked over with some curiosity. She had never asked about Wen Rushi's age before, but she only estimated that he was about the same age, or slightly older.

Since Wen Rushi was a woman disguised as a man, she naturally put some effort into her appearance.

Apart from the bones that cannot be changed and some tiny details that are not easy to detect, she has done a good job of covering up other aspects.

Even her height, Jiang Qiuchen suspected that she had secretly padded it up a lot.

With such a combination of punches, there is no guarantee that she would not deliberately make herself look more mature to conceal her identity.

Wen Rushi, who was sitting quietly aside, saw that he had suddenly become the focus of the conversation. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes, and then he replied calmly as if he had been prepared.

"My surname is Wen, my given name is Rushi. Unfortunately, I am a little older than both of you. After my birthday this year, I will be nineteen."

Gu Xiao held his forehead helplessly, seeming very dissatisfied with the result.

"What? I'm the youngest in my family, and I'm still the youngest when I meet two new friends."

"When will it be my turn to be the big brother!!!"

It can be seen that Gu Xiao, who has been loved and cared for by everyone since he was a child, actually has the ambition to become the eldest brother.

It’s a pity that there is no chance to give him sight for the time being.

"Puch-"

Looking at his annoyed expression, Jiang Qiuchen couldn't help but laughed secretly.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"

"You're older than me, so what? Age is determined by fate. I wish my mother had given birth to me two years earlier."

After all, he is still young, and there is a bit of childishness in Gu Xiao's words and actions.

Jiang Qiuchen recalled that the brothers Deng Xian and Deng Hou once said that Gu Xiao had an older sister named Gu Yun.

Gu Xiao, a man, is so handsome that it is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman. It is hard to imagine what a stunning beauty this Gu Yun will be.

"You are also the youngest in the family. How many older brothers and sisters do you have?"

Jiang Qiuchen pretended to be an honest man, as if he knew nothing about Lingzhou, let alone Lingxiang Palace.

Gu Xiao changed his posture, but still looked lazy.

"Oh, I forgot. You are a foreigner and don't know what's going on here."

"My name is Gu Xiao. I am my mother's youngest child. I have an older brother and an older sister."

"Big Brother is three years older than us. He is already twenty this year. He has just come of age. Although he is not very old, he has been fighting in the battlefield for many years. He is an extremely powerful general!"

When talking about his brother, Gu Xiao always looks admiring.

It can be seen that Gu Shaojing not only has a high prestige in Lingzhou, but also holds a unique place in the hearts of his brothers.

"My dear sister is actually my twin. She was just born a little earlier than me."

"Over the years, she has used her sister's status to suppress me. It's really annoying." "Hahaha, but you can't see her recently. This damn girl said she wanted to go out and become a hero, and she ran away secretly."

"Guess what happened? He was brought back by my eldest brother before he even left Lingzhou. He looked so humiliated. It was so funny."

"If my eldest brother hadn't known about this, it would be a simple matter. I could just act coquettishly with my mother and everything would be fine."

"But she was so unlucky that she was caught by Big Brother. She is now in solitary confinement."

When talking about Gu Yun being put in solitary confinement, Gu Xiao's eyebrows beamed with joy, as if he was very happy.

It can be seen that he was tortured severely on a daily basis and is taking this opportunity to vent his anger.

After having a general understanding of the situation, Jiang Qiuchen did not ask any further questions.

Although it's quite interesting, these are ultimately other people's family affairs, and there may not be any contact in the future, so it's better not to pry too much into them, so as not to cross the line.

The Gu Shaojing mentioned by these people is obviously not a simple person. It is better to stay out of it and have less dealings with him.

"Hiss, Master Gu, now that we've had our meal and chatted, when are you going to let us two unlucky little bastards go?"

Jiang Qiuchen blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Xiao with anticipation.

Gu Xiao was having such a happy chat that he forgot about the matter for a moment.

Although the palace is large, there are not many people who can sit down and chat. A'niang's daily routine is very regular. Except for the time for eating, bathing and drinking tea, most of the rest of her time is spent in the Buddhist temple praying for her father.

Ever since the melee a year ago when Daddy was ambushed and disappeared, Mom started to believe in Buddhism and prayed to the Buddha, hoping that Daddy would return safely.

I do this every day and dare not slack off, for fear that my heart is not pious enough and it will affect the results.

Although Gu Xiao did not believe in gods or Buddhas, having this as a sustenance at least made his mother feel better, and life became less unbearable.

He didn't say much, but tried to be cheerful when he showed up every day so as not to make his mother worry.

Originally, he could play and have fun with Gu Yun every day, but this time she was locked up for three months, so Gu Xiao could only play with her.

It's boring when there are few people at home, but I dare not be distracted when there are too many people outside.

It seems that all the prominent young men in Lingzhou City are Gu Xiao's friends. But in fact, there are wolves and tigers around them, and it is very dangerous. He dare not trust anyone.

What's more, he has to cooperate with his eldest brother's plan from time to time and mediate, and those drinking buddies may reveal their hidden fangs at any time.

Gu Xiao, who hadn't laughed or chatted for a long time, felt unusually happy tonight.

It may be because before this, he and Jiang Qiuchen had never met each other, had no common interests, and no conflict of interest.

Or maybe Jiang Qiuchen didn't take his status too seriously, and his words and actions did not show any flattery towards the so-called powerful.

Or maybe he had a different view of Jiang Qiuchen's wit and courage, and felt a little different.

All in all, he thought this person was quite interesting.

"Hey! What are you thinking about? I asked when we can leave?"

"Can you give me a definite answer?"

"Don't tell me that having dinner is not enough, and you still want us to stay here?"

"If that's the case, I have to praise you. You are such a good person!"

……

Jiang Qiuchen was chattering, Wen Rushi was listening quietly, and Gu Xiao was smiling helplessly.

The night is quiet, yet lively.
