Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 403 Hidden fame
It was September when Jiang Wan Ning left Kyoto, and now it's Laba when she comes back.

Prince Xiao Yan led dozens of officials and hundreds of imperial guards to greet him outside the city, giving him a good queue.

But Jiang Wanning hid in the carriage, claiming to be ill, and asked Gu Zhou to stop and show his face.

Chen Jianghe was also in the welcoming team. Previously, Gu Zhou stopped leaving the Shu mission and claimed that he was ill and needed to rest. Many officials came to visit but no one was seen. Only the prince came to the door and was invited in. Therefore, everyone I really thought that Gu Zhou was recuperating at home, but I didn't expect that Gu Zhou was recuperating at home. He had already gone to Dayuan, and the prince was covering for him.

No wonder the envoys of Dashu got angry in recent days and offered to continue negotiations, but the prince ignored them. It was only this morning that the prince told the courtiers the truth.

Chen Jianghe was in a complicated mood. Gu Zhouting was in the cabinet for the first time. Many people questioned his qualifications and abilities, thinking that he relied on his merits as a dragon to become the prime minister. Even he had such thoughts in his heart, but they kept silent. Xiang did a great thing and took back four cities for Da Qi without spending a single soldier.

Another great achievement.

This made Chen Jianghe inevitably feel that talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and a new generation has replaced the old ones. After all, the world belongs to their younger generation.

In fact, he is not old either, only in his early forties.

Xiao Yan thought Jiang Wan Ning was really sick. After all, this errand was hard and dangerous, both mentally and physically demanding. Gu Zhou had lost a lot of weight, not to mention a weak woman like Jiang Wan Ning.

"Is her body okay?" Xiao Yan asked in a lowered voice.

Gu Zhouting smiled: "She just doesn't want to show up."

Xiao Yan understood that Jiang Wanning wanted to hide his merit and fame and let everyone focus on Gu Zhouting.

What a helpful wife.

"Go back to the city first. You can go back and repair yourself. You can enter the palace tomorrow. There will be a tough battle waiting for you next."

Gu Zhouting said with a smile: "Is Dashu anxious?"

Xiao Yan smiled, are you in a hurry? Dayuan has declared a war, the vanguard troops have been stationed in Ulamo'er, and the war is about to break out.

Therefore, Jiang Wanning is really a talented person. He started planning early to find the unlucky guy Tuduo.

Da Shu had no place to complain if he wanted to, so he was indeed bewitched by Lingxi.

Gu Zhouting first sent Jiang Wanning and Lin Ruoruo back to Jiang's house.

Before reaching the door, I heard the crackling of firecrackers.

Jiang Wanning opened the car curtain and saw a large group of people gathered at the door of Jiang's house. In addition to the Jiang family, there were also Zhaoyang, Aunt Wei and others. Everyone was smiling. They were welcoming her home!

Jiang Wan Ning complained: "This is too exaggerated."

Gu Zhouting disagreed: "His Highness has gone out of the city to greet you, so this little battle is nothing."

He did not notify the Jiang family. His Royal Highness must have informed him in advance.

As soon as the carriage stopped, everyone rushed forward.

"A-Ning is back...A-Ning is back..."

Jiang Wanning and Lin Ruoruo got off the carriage and called daddy first, then eldest brother, second brother, and third brother in turn.

Jiang Maochun looked at his daughter who looked tired, and then at his daughter-in-law who had not yet passed the door. He cried and laughed: "It will be good if you come back..."

He knew that Aning was going to Gubei under the order, and thought that there was no danger. After all, he was on an imperial mission. Later, Jiang Shi said that Ruoruo had gone out for medical treatment and would not come back for many days. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. When pressed, Jiang Shi said To tell the truth, it was Gu Zhouting who asked Ruoruo to go because he was afraid that Aning would be in trouble.

Later, when he heard that Gu Zhouting was ill, he asked his eldest daughter-in-law to go to Gu's house to inquire, only to learn that Gu Zhouting had also gone to Gubei.

When Gu Zhouting was asked to leave the important matters in the court and rush to Gubei, Jiang Maochun's first reaction was that something had happened to Aning.

He was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep. He wished he could go to Gubei to find his daughter in person.

Jiang Ji found out through various channels that the Tudor prince was dead.

It frightened him even more. Prince Tudor died. Shouldn't Dayuan blame Ah Ning? No wonder Lian Gu Zhou stopped and rushed over. Until today, the prince sent someone to tell him that A Ning would return to Beijing today, and that A Ning had made a great contribution, and that his heart, which had been hanging around for several months, was finally settled.

"Dad, my sister and younger siblings have been working hard all the way, please let them go inside to rest." Jiang Ji reminded.

Only then did Jiang Maochun react: "Yes, yes, A Ning, Ruoruo, come in quickly."

Completely ignoring the existence of his future son-in-law.

Jiang Jidao: "Master Gu, please go in and have a cup of tea."

Gu Zhou stopped and smiled: "I'll go home first to say that I'm safe."

"Okay, let's talk later."

Just as Gu Zhouting was about to leave, Shangguan Zhaoyang came over and said, "Brother Gu."

Zhaoyang felt a little lonely. He was happier than anyone else to see his sister return safely. However, she was surrounded by the Jiang family and he couldn't get in. She didn't even seem to see him. She was obviously his biological sister. Ah, he is just such a biological sister. The second brother is still in Dayuan and I don’t know when he will come back.

Gu Zhouting could guess why he was depressed just by looking at his expression.

"Zhaoyang, your sister is very proud of you when she knows that you won the lottery and entered the civil service department. She went to the old house in Gubei to express her condolences to your father and brother."

He lowered his voice and said, "You are very important to your sister."

Shangguan Zhaoyang nodded, he knew that his sister loved him the most.

"You didn't lose your loved ones, you gained more relatives, do you understand?"

Shangguan Zhaoyang suddenly realized that he was in over his head just now. He wanted his sister to see him for the first time.

In fact, the Jiang family was very kind to him. They called him over for dinner every now and then. He went to the palace for exams and to serve in the civil service department. His two sisters-in-law prepared new clothes and socks for him. They didn't regard him as an outsider.

"I understand, Brother Gu."

Gu Zhou stopped patting him on the shoulder: "Be happy, otherwise your sister will think something happened to you and worry again."

Shangguan Zhaoyang smiled and said: "Then I will go in and talk to them."

"Go ahead and ask your sister to help you with the details when you have time."

Shangguan Zhaoyang was confused: "What are the details?"

Gu Zhou stopped and laughed: "I heard that the threshold of your house is about to be trampled through."

Shangguan Zhaoyang blushed like a cooked prawn: "I haven't thought about this yet."

He was almost bored to death by this matter, and there was no elder in the family who could make the decision. When the matchmaker came, she would come directly to him, and he had no place to hide.

Gu Zhou stopped smiling and got on his horse, his movements clean and graceful. The thing that made the most progress during this mission was his equestrian skills.

The movement in Jiang's house alarmed the nearby neighbors, and many people came out to watch the fun.

"What's the happy event of the Jiang family?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of a happy event."

"It seems like Lady Ginger is back."

"Where has she gone? I haven't seen her for a while."

"Maybe she made a big deal. Although Mrs. Jiang is a doctor, she also does business."

"Oh, then there's no need for such a big fight. I thought Mrs. Jiang was getting married, and I didn't see any happy words posted or red lanterns hung."

Everyone was talking about it, but when they saw that there was no excitement, they dispersed.
