She and Zhou Chen have lived in the same yard for more than half a year. Zhou Chen would almost never hide anything from her, so she knew what kind of person Zhou Chen was.

Zhou Chen never treated her as a servant. He would never take the initiative to order her to do things, and even let her sit at the same table when eating.

After spending time with Zhou Chen, you will find that although he looks a little cold on the outside, he is actually very warm and easy-going once you get to know him.

Moreover, in Zhou Chen's eyes, there is no distinction between high and low, as if everyone is equal, just with different degrees of closeness.

Gong Yu was also attracted by Zhou Chen's equal gaze at the time, because she grew up in a brothel and suffered from contempt and disdain. In everyone's eyes, she was like a commodity and was never treated as a real person.

But on the way back to Jiangzuo League with Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen treated her very well and did not give her that disgusting look. Instead, he treated her as an equal and showed her special respect.

A person who has never been respected suddenly gains respect, and this comes from someone of a much higher status than him. This feeling is truly indescribable.

From that moment on, she put Zhou Chen in her heart. She never asked for anything. She just wanted to stay with Zhou Chen forever and do what she could for Zhou Chen. That was enough.

Zhou Chen didn't know how great he was in Gong Yu's heart, because it was also his first time to travel to the ancient world. Although it had been more than ten years, he still adhered to his previous behavior style. He was not like those dignitaries who treated ordinary people as cattle and horses and brothel women as commodities.

In his world, people laugh at poverty but not at prostitution. To be realistic, in modern society, uh, you're overthinking...

Zhou Chen's tone became serious, and he said slowly: "You know our identities, and you also know that Xiao Shu and I have both been poisoned by the Fire and Cold Poison, but you don't know the specific circumstances. Why did Xiao Shu become so weak when we were both poisoned by the Fire and Cold Poison, but I am more talented than before?"

Gong Yu really didn't know the reason. In fact, not only him, but others also couldn't figure it out. They all attributed it to Zhou Chen's special physique.

"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that although I look no different from an ordinary person now, and even healthier and stronger than an ordinary person, my body has actually been severely injured. Xiao Shu may not even live past the age of 40, and I don't know how long I can live. Perhaps one day after the age of 40, I will suddenly die without any signs."

Gong Yu said anxiously: "I don't care, sir, I'm not afraid, even if it's only for one day, I want to stay by your side."

"Ugh."

Gong Yu's words, spoken without any hesitation, made Zhou Chen's heart tremble slightly. There are not many silly women like her.

"Life span is only one reason. More importantly, in order to remove the fire and cold poison, I have been through skin peeling and bone crushing. My body functions have changed. I can get married, but the possibility of having children is very small. In other words, if you follow me, you will not have offspring. Even so, are you willing?"

After saying this, Zhou Chen quietly waited for Gong Yu's reply. There are still differences between ancient feudal society and modern times.

As the saying goes, there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. Even though Gong Yu is a woman, he doesn't know whether Gong Yu would care about this.

But Gong Yu had a calm expression and asked, "Anything else?"

"What?" Now it was Zhou Chen's turn to be surprised.

Gong Yu suddenly became bold, stretched out her hands, and held Zhou Chen's right hand with great tenderness.

"Sir, I want to say that I don't care about the problem you just mentioned. I want to be with you, even if it's for a short time, even if we can't have children, I am willing."

In this situation, Zhou Chen no longer pushed Gong Yu away. He suddenly put his left hand around Gong Yu's back and pulled Gong Yu closer to him. Then, under Gong Yu's surprised gaze, he lowered his head and kissed her.

Gong Yu's body stiffened. She was born in a brothel. Although she sold her art but not her body, she knew a lot about things between men and women through what she saw and heard.

However, Zhou Chen's sudden kiss still left her stunned for a long time, but she did not resist at all.

She slowly closed her eyes and let Zhou Chen kiss her. At the same time, she released Zhou Chen's hands and slowly hugged Zhou Chen's body, bringing herself closer to Zhou Chen.

The kiss lasted for a long time. Zhou Chen left when Gong Yu was almost out of breath, but he still held Gong Yu in his arms and had no intention of letting go.

"I declare that from today on, Gong Yu, you are my woman, Zhou Chen's woman. From now on, I will protect you, and no one can bully you."

Chapter 826: In front of Yingfeng Tower, the Son-in-Law Selection Meeting, meeting friends again

Gong Yu shed tears.

These were tears of excitement and joy. Zhou Chen's words did not contain so many flowery words, nor so many assurances, but they made her feel more at ease than any love words or assurances.

The words 'my woman' made her feel like the happiest person in the world at that moment and she wanted to cry more than ever before.

Zhou Chen gently wiped Gong Yu's tears with his fingers and said softly: "Be my woman, you can't cry casually."

Gong Yu nodded heavily: "I won't cry, sir, I won't cry anymore."

"Our Gong Yu looks very pretty even when she's crying."

Gong Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Zhou Chen's eyes full of tenderness.

"Sir, let me wait for you to rest."

After saying this, her face turned red. She was willing to give everything to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen stroked her cheek gently: "I understand what you mean, but I don't want to be here. Wait until I buy a house of our own in Beijing, and then we can be together for real, okay?"

Gong Yu's eyes suddenly turned red again. She understood what Zhou Chen meant. Although Miaoyinfang was their territory, it was still a brothel.

Zhou Chen didn't want to take her here because this was a brothel. Zhou Chen loved her and respected her, so he didn't want to treat her badly, even if she didn't care.

"Thank you, sir. Why are you so nice to me?" Gong Yu took the initiative to hug Zhou Chen tightly.

Zhou Chen laughed and hugged Gong Yu tightly, saying softly: "You are my woman. If I don't treat you well, who can I treat well? But being my woman is hard work. You know me, I am very lazy."

Gong Yu said happily: "I am willing to take care of you for the rest of my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

"How silly."

Women in love are very silly, and Zhou Chen understands this deeply, which is because she met such a responsible and good man like him.

It took a long time before Gong Yu remembered what happened today. She told Zhou Chen that Yan Yujin and Mu Nihuang had come.

Zhou Chen frowned after hearing this. He didn't expect that Mu Nihuang not only didn't forget him, but even found Miaoyinfang and Gong Yu for him.

This gave him a headache. It seemed that this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible. It would be better to tell Mei Changsu first and express his thoughts.

As for Mu Nihuang, to be honest, he was not a gentleman. It would be hypocritical to say that he was not moved by a heroic female commander like Mu Nihuang, but he was able to restrain himself and knew that he could not do that.

However, he had underestimated Mu Nihuang's persistence, so he could only let go and let Mei Changsu handle it. Perhaps the childhood sweetheart relationship between Mei Changsu and Mu Nihuang could offset Mu Nihuang's idea.

Traveling back to ancient times, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but if he wanted to do that, he could just find someone else.

Besides, now that he has accepted Gong Yu, he has no such idea at all for the time being.

Compared to women, practicing martial arts is also a very good choice. Over the years, he has experienced the joy of practicing martial arts.

"Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it."

"Sir, no matter what choice you make, I will support you, but as for the Sect Master..."

Gong Yu looked worried. She had seen Mei Changsu's abilities. Although she knew that Zhou Chen and Mei Changsu had a very good relationship, she couldn't help but worry when it came to Mei Changsu's fiancée.

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry too much, Xiao Shu, he, ah..."

Thinking of Mei Changsu's character and misery, he felt a vague sense of worry in his heart.

Zhou Chen and Gong Yu were lying on the same bed, but they just slept in each other's arms and didn't do anything else.

After Mr. Thirteen came back, his face changed slightly when he heard Aunt Hong's report. Before he spread the news, Zhou Chen had actually arrived at Miaoyinfang and even went to Gong Yu's room.

He hesitated for a long time, but finally did not dare to disturb Zhou Chen.

Although Zhou Chen is not his little master, his status is much higher than his, and he is also one of the few people who knows Zhou Chen's true identity.

The next day, at noon, Zhou Chen got dressed with the help of Gong Yu. He told Mei Changsu that they would go to Yingfeng Tower today.

"Sir, it's ready."

Gong Yu helped Zhou Chen tidy up his clothes and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She was able to see Zhou Chen early in the morning and dress Zhou Chen with her own hands. This was the first time in her life that she was so happy when she woke up in the morning.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's great to have you here."

Gong Yu looked at Zhou Chen's clothes and said softly, "Sir, I just looked at the clothes in your package. Two of them are already worn out. I will go to the market today to buy some needles and cloth to make two new clothes for you."

"Okay, just don't pick a color that's too bright. As for the style, you decide for yourself."

"it is good."

"If you don't have enough money, ask Mr. Thirteen for it. By the way, if he asks you about what happened last night, just tell him that it was my decision. If he wants an explanation, tell him to come to me."

Since he has decided to make Gong Yu his woman, Zhou Chen will naturally not let her suffer any grievances. Compared to Mr. Thirteen, whom he has only met a few times, his own Gong Yu is definitely more important.

Gong Yu said: "Mr. Thirteen takes good care of me. He won't make things difficult for me."

"That's great. I'm leaving now. Remember to eat later."

"Then sir, don't you want to eat? We have someone here to cook, or I can go out and buy some for you."

"No need to go through so much trouble. There are many small stalls in Jinling City in the morning. They should still be there at this time. I can just buy something when I go out later."

After Zhou Chen finished explaining, he pushed the door and walked out. However, as soon as he got downstairs, he saw an old man who was well-dressed, energetic, and had some gray hair and beard.

The moment he saw the old man, he recognized him.

"Mr. Thirteen, you got up so early."

The old man is Mr. Thirteen, the former musician of Lin Shu's mother, Princess Jinyang. Although he has joined the Jiangzuo League, he has never met Mei Changsu and Zhou Chen before.

"Son."

Mr. Thirteen, like everyone else, did not call Zhou Chen "Deputy Sect Leader", but called him "Young Master".

But there was a hint of shock in his eyes, because he had seen Zhou Chen before the Chiyan Army's incident, and the current Zhou Chen was completely different from the past, with no similarities at all.

"You have really changed a lot. When did you arrive in Jinling City? Have you met the young master?"

Zhou Chen said, "I saw him last night. You haven't met him yet, have you? He has changed a lot, just like me. You will know when you meet him. I have to go out and meet him now, so I won't say more to you. Do you have anything to say to him?"

Mr. Thirteen thought for a moment and replied, "No need. I believe I will be able to meet the young master soon."

He had something to report to Mei Changsu, but he certainly couldn't let Zhou Chen pass it on. Besides, Mei Changsu had already arrived in Jinling, so they would see each other again soon.

"Okay, whatever you want. I'm leaving first."

"Sir, please take care."

Zhou Chen walked out of Miaoyinfang and found that there were people like him who left at noon. They were truly romantic figures.

After having a quick bite at a roadside stall, Zhou Chen started wandering around Jinling City.

When I came here last night, there were no people on the street, but now, the street is full of people, coming and going, some setting up stalls, some buying things, and some performing acrobatics...

He was filled with emotion, it was worthy of being the capital, it was so lively even in the morning.

In this sparsely populated era, Jinling City, as the capital of Daliang, had a permanent population of hundreds of thousands.

If we add in the people who live in the surrounding areas of Jinling City and the undocumented illegal residents, the number is estimated to be over one million.

You have to know that this is not more than a thousand years later. The total population of China at this time is estimated to be only tens of millions. Even if the population in some remote areas is included, it should not exceed 100 million.

It is really amazing that a capital city can gather millions of people.

Something big happened in the city today, so the city is particularly lively, with people coming and going, and even a few foreigners who are dressed differently from the Central Plains people.

The meeting to select a son-in-law for Princess Nihuang was held in the Yingfeng Tower outside the Suzaku Gate in the Jinling Palace. The Yingfeng Tower was a royal-style building with red beams and glazed tiles. Since the third Emperor Liang, all celebrations of the Liang royal family, such as weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies, were held here with ceremonies for the public to congratulate.

Although Princess Nihuang was not from the royal family of Xiao in Daliang, she had made great contributions to the world and was famous. She had always received more special treatment than royal princesses in the Daliang court, so the venue for her son-in-law selection meeting was naturally set at Yingfeng Tower.

As early as a month ago, Emperor Liang ordered the Ministry of Works to send personnel to build an arena on the huge square in front of the Yingfeng Tower, and built a circle of five-colored brocade tents around the platform for the nobles to sit and watch the fight.

As for ordinary officials and other people of status, they sat outside the tent. Further outside were civilians who had been checked and allowed to come in and watch from afar.

Ordinary people who have no power, no influence, and no connections are not even qualified to get close, and can only wait outside, waiting for those who are watching the fun in front to come and share it with them.

Zhou Chen did not go there early in the morning because he knew that today was the first day of the son-in-law selection conference and Emperor Liang would be present in person, and then there would be a series of etiquette nonsense. He was too lazy to join in the fun, and even more did not want to kowtow to the dog emperor.

He planned to wait until Emperor Liang left before going to Yingfeng Tower.

While Zhou Chen was leisurely strolling around Jinling City, Yan Yujin arrived at the Xie Mansion early in the morning and took Xiao Jingrui to Xuelu.

"Yujin, didn't you say you were waiting for us outside the palace? Why are you here again?"

The day before yesterday, he and Yan Yujin had agreed to meet outside the palace.

Yan Yujin looked melancholy: "I came to you for comfort."

Xiao Jingrui looked curious: "Looking for my comfort? What's wrong with you? Did the princess call you over and scold you yesterday?"

"Not really, but it's sadder than you say."

"Then what's going on? Tell me."

Yan Yujin opened his mouth and was about to speak, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, this is Sister Nihuang's private matter, I can't tell you. If it gets out, Sister Nihuang will pick up a sword and chop me up. That's right, I can't tell you."

This made Xiao Jingrui even more curious: "What happened? Why can't you tell me?"

"Don't ask anymore. Let's go and find Brother Su and Fei Liu."

Having said that, he took the lead and walked away. Xiao Jingrui shook his head helplessly behind him. Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to Yan Yujin's confusing temper.
