Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 413
"In this situation, it's hard work for you. When I go back, I will think about it and settle things here as soon as possible."

After listening to the young general, combined with what he saw, Shen Xiao understood that guarding here is a coolie.

The officers and soldiers here rarely see women a few times a year, and he is also strict in discipline, so the soldiers live like ascetic monks.

Suddenly, there were some more women near the barracks. Different from the conservative women of Daxing, one had an open personality. Under such circumstances, it was a test for the soldiers.

Fortunately, they were able to restrain themselves, otherwise, they might have messed up.

After leaving the barracks, Shen Xiao returned to the General's Mansion. Knowing that Gu Sheng was asleep, he simply went to the study to deal with some matters.

When Gu Sheng woke up, it was almost dark. She got up from the bed and opened the door.

In the yard, Zhishu and Zhihua were playing with Gu Lin. Gu Sheng was in the room just now, and he heard laughter outside.

"Young master is awake. If you don't wake up again, the general will think that something happened to you." Zhishu smiled and looked towards the gate of the courtyard. Gu Sheng followed her gaze and saw Shen Xiao.

Seeing Gu Sheng looking at him, Shen Xiao smiled uncomfortably.

After dealing with things before, he wanted to come and see Gu Sheng, but she was still asleep, so he just sat in the yard.

When Zhishu and Zhihua heard that their master had returned, they hurriedly brought the child to the courtyard. Seeing Shen Xiao here, they were a little surprised.

Originally, Zhishu and Zhihua's house was arranged in Gu Sheng's yard. Later, I thought, Gu Sheng is a counselor, and sometimes when talking about things, it is inevitable to come here.

It might be inconvenient for Zhishu and Zhihua to be in this yard, so they simply found a new yard in the backyard and settled them down.

Seeing that Zhishu and Zhihua had arrived, Shen Xiao quickly got up and went outside the courtyard. With his appearance, Zhishu and Zhihua couldn't help but snicker.

"What is the general doing standing at the gate of the courtyard? If you have anything to say, just come in and say it." Seeing Shen Xiao, Gu Sheng quickly opened his mouth and beckoned him to enter the courtyard.

"I won't go. Seeing that you're awake, I'm relieved. Tell someone to pass on the meal. You must be hungry by now." If Zhishu and Zhihua were not around, he might be able to come in and have a chat with Gu Sheng. sentence.

Both of them are there, and they often look at him and smile, which makes him a little embarrassed.

"Thank you, General, for your concern." Gu Sheng understood that because Zhishu and Zhihua were there, he was uncomfortable, so he didn't stay any longer. When Shen Xiao left, Gu Sheng looked away and gave Zhishu and Zhihua a stare.

"Let's go inside and talk." If it's hot today and there are mosquitoes outside, Zhishu and Zhihua followed her into the room.

A servant brought her the food that had been prepared all along, and Gu Sheng understood that this should be specially ordered by Shen Xiao.

"Master, General Shen, isn't he optimistic about you?" Zhishu glanced at Zhihua and said to Gu Sheng.

"Don't talk nonsense." Almost choked, Gu Sheng raised his head and looked at Zhishu.

"Master, I don't think Zhishu is talking nonsense. The appearance of General Shen, you can tell that he likes you at a glance, but...Master, does he know your past identity?"

Zhihua spoke hesitantly, they couldn't be more clear about her master's past identity.

"It's all said, don't talk nonsense, General Shen and I have experienced life and death together, and I am his subordinate, it is inevitable that he cares a little bit, besides, I just came back, it stands to reason that there are some things that should be reported to him, but at that time I was too tired, so I fell asleep directly, and it is normal for him to come to me."

What Zhihua and Zhishu said made Gu Sheng's heart beat a little faster than usual. She never thought that someone would like her.

"Also, can't you two pay more attention in front of Lin'er?" Lin'er was talking about Gu Lin, who was still young, and was held in Zhishu's arms, looking eagerly at the food on the table.

However, Gu Sheng couldn't give him any of the food he ate, and when he was worried, the servant brought another plate of fruit, saying that it was ordered by the general.

Immediately, Zhishu and Zhihua laughed, with expressions we all know.

When they laughed, Gu Sheng felt a little embarrassed. She picked up a fruit, handed it to Gu Lin, and gave them a hard look.

Seeing that the master was annoyed, the two restrained themselves a little and stopped laughing.

After eating, Gu Sheng asked about the recent situation of the two of them. She could tell that the two of them were doing well in the mansion.

"Speaking of which, there is something that I would like to ask you for your opinion." Gu Sheng looked at the two of them, remembering what some soldiers asked him when he came back.

Seeing her serious expression, Zhishu and Zhihua sat up straight, waiting for her to speak.

"You don't have to be nervous, let's just chat casually and talk." Gu Sheng couldn't help laughing at the appearance of the two of them. She said so, and Zhishu and Zhihua relaxed a little.

"On my way back, including the time before, people always asked me about you. You also know that most of the soldiers in the northwest border pass have not married wives. When they see two beauties who are as beautiful as flowers, they must be tempted."

"I told them at the time that your marriage is up to you to decide. If they really like it, they can come up with their own ideas."

"This is what I said in front of you. Your marriage is up to you. If you really like it, you can tell me. Then I will help you to see each other. After all, it is a lifelong event, so be careful. OK."

Zhishu and Zhihua have been by Gu Sheng's side for many years. In the past, they were in the palace and they were around the empress. Even if they wanted to leave the palace, they couldn't.

It is different now, they are all free, no matter who they are, they can choose their future life.

Gu Sheng hopes that whether it is Zhishu or Zhihua, they can do well, and it is best to marry a good man.

As for herself, she has already taken Gu Lin anyway, and it would be good to live with him in the future.

"Since the master said so, then I will also talk about my own thoughts." After hearing Gu Sheng's words, Zhishu was silent for a moment, and then said.

In the past, because she was in the palace, she always called herself a servant girl. After leaving the palace, she kept this habit for a long time.

Now at the northwest border, this habit has been changed, and she calls herself "me" according to the nurse's request.

"Master, I have never thought of getting married. I haven't before, and I don't have one now. I presumably never will in the future, unless that person is willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law, and all the children born will follow my surname. Not only that, but also You can’t have three wives and four concubines, otherwise I won’t marry.”

Seeing Gu Sheng looking at him, Zhishu was talking about his own thoughts, and after hearing her finish, Gu Sheng looked helpless.

"It's easy to say, but hard to do. How many men in this world can really do it?"

"However, since it is your own lifelong event, I still have to listen to you. If you really meet me, it will be a blessing. Zhihua, what do you think?"
