Vol 2 Chapter 955: Brother and sister

Early in the morning, Gu Ling brought his wife and children into the palace to ask for peace.
Xu Yousi greeted him at the palace gate.
"General Gu is back, and Niang Niang is looking forward to this day for a long time. General, Madam, follow our house. Niang Niang is waiting for the two and three little masters in the Royal Garden."
The three children are nervous.
The first time I came to the capital, the first time I entered the palace.
The scenery is completely different from that of the northwest, and the heavily guarded palace is full of oppressive atmosphere.
Pei Man took the three children, quietly comforting them not to be afraid, just follow the rules.
A family of five came to the Royal Garden Embroidery Building with Xu Yousi.
"Niang Niang is waiting upstairs for you all, please go up."
Gu Ling held Xu Yousi, "How is she, Niang?"
Xu Yousi smiled and said: "Thanks to the general's blessing, the empress is in good health and everything is fine. Just a bit busy."
Gu Ling nodded, straightened his collar, and asked Pei Man quietly, "How do I look?"
Pei Man pursed his lips and smiled, "It's good! Let's go up soon, don't let the empress wait long."
"you're right."
Gu Ling walked ahead and took the lead on the stairs.
The stairs shook, and Gu Ling, who had never fought on the battlefield, felt guilty at this moment.
That's his own sister, how could he be weak.
Does an identity change really affect emotions?
The Xiulou accident was huge, enough to show a few cases.
A figure sitting on the floor leaning against the window.
When she heard the movement, she turned her head and looked surprised, "Brother!"
Gu Ling was excited, but did not forget the rules, "I will see you in the end..."
"Brother, don't be too gifted!" Gu Jiu interrupted Gu Wei with a smile, "Where are my sister-in-law and nephews and nieces? Call them up quickly, I want to take a look."
Gu Yu seemed to have found the feeling when his brother and sister were getting along. He grinned and said, "The courtesy can't be abandoned!"
"Brother is in front of me, so don't pay attention to those polite gifts. Hurry up and invite my sister-in-law and nephew and niece."
Pei Man took the child up to the embroidered building, feeling a little uneasy.
The children are even more nervous, with hands and feet, after all, they have never seen a person of such a high status.
Gu Jiu smiled, looking at Pei Man, and then at the three children.
She was very excited, but she concealed it well.
She greeted everyone to sit down, "You are welcome! Sit down and talk! We haven't seen each other for many years, and we have all changed a lot."
Pei Man pursed her lips and smiled, "The empress is still the same as she was back then, she hasn't changed at all."
Gu Jiu loves to hear these words, she laughed, "Sister-in-law said and laughed. Years make people grow old, and I can't avoid it. But sister-in-law, well maintained, the wind and sand in the northwest did not leave any trace on you."
Pei Man looked at Gu Ling and smiled shyly, "General, he has been taking care of me."
"My elder brother has also learned to take care of others, not bad, not bad!"
Gu Ling smiled, "I always take care of people."
This is a bit shameless.
Gu Jiu laughed and asked about the situation of his three nephews and nieces.
The embroidered building is very large, but also very small.
Compared with the palace, the atmosphere of the embroidered building is suitable for a family to sit down and chat.
The three children, who were nervously on the same arm and on the same foot, all relax and answer questions openly.
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "It's a good boy. Here, please invite the princess and the four princes to recognize them with their cousins."
The palace man took the order and left.
Gu Ling asked curiously, "Are the two majesty and the majesty not in the palace?"
"The boss went to Beijing Day Camp for training, and he can only come back once in a few months. The second child went to Shanhe Academy. He felt that the palace was bothering him, so he simply lived in Xiaozhu. Yesterday I sent someone to call him back. It must be later."
"Blessed mother!" Pei Man complimented.
"Sister-in-law is also blessed."
Soon Niuniu came to Xiulou with her brother. First, meet each other and know each other.
Gu Jiu commanded: "You are the host, take your cousins ​​and cousins ​​downstairs to play. Remember not to approach the construction site or to play in the water."
Niuniu suddenly agreed, thinking that it is impossible not to play in the water in such hot weather.
The children leave the embroidered building.
The three of them are left upstairs.
Pei Man is very knowledgeable, "Let the empress laugh, the minister's wife is a little impatient, can you..."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, and ordered the maid to lead Pei Man downstairs to rest.
As a result, there are only two brothers and sisters left upstairs.
"How good is your brother in the military these years?"
"Very good! A second-rank military commander, he can be promoted by his military merits!"
"Brother is great! I promise, I didn't interfere in my brother's promotion."
"I know. I was promoted to the second-rank military commander in terms of merit." After speaking, Gu Ling grinned, his pride was beyond words.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Now my brother's grade has caught up with the older uncle, it's amazing!"
Gu Ling showed his true shape in a second, he scratched his head, "Not as good as my sister said!"
Gu Jiu raised the teapot and poured the tea himself, "Brother drink tea!"
"I'll do it by myself, don't do it. You are now more expensive as a queen mother, not what it used to be, how can you do it yourself."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm a queen, doesn't my brother recognize me as a sister?"
"How can it be! This is not a distinction between inferiority and inferiority, you have to follow the rules."
"The rules are for outsiders. Our brothers and sisters get along privately, don't pay attention to these. This time back to the capital, is the road going smoothly?"
"It went smoothly. All the big items were shipped back by Sanhe Express. We only took some gold and silver, and the items used on the road were enough. With Sanhe Express, it is much more convenient than before. Even in the military. The materials are delivered by Sanhe Express, which is timely and safe, and there has never been a mistake."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "That's because most of the personnel who deliver supplies to the military are veterans who are loyal and reliable, with a clean background, to ensure that there will be no mistakes. Common folk items are delivered by ordinary couriers."
"There is also this particularity, I did not pay attention."
"Sanhe Express has two operating teams, one of which is specifically set up for the war and the army." Gu Jiu doesn't mind saying more.
Gu Ling said with emotion: "Sister has worked hard! Back when you founded Sanhe Express, I was worried that you would lose money."
Gu Jiu remembered what happened at that time and couldn't help but laugh, "I still remember that in the first year or two after Sanhe Express was founded, I often received items from you from the northwest. At that time, were you worried that I would lose money? , So take care of the business of the express station?"
Gu Ling scratched his head and smiled, everything is silent.
Gu Jiu's heart is warm.
My brother didn't say anything, he was silently supporting with actions.
"Thank you brother!" she said solemnly.
"I didn't help me with anything, but you helped me a lot. I should say thank you."
"The support of my brother is the greatest help to me."
"My brother will support you all his life, no matter what you do."
"If I want to solve the Northwest Army, will my brother support me too?"
Gu Yan was stunned on the spot.
He was still hesitating how to bring up the topic of the Northwest Army. He didn't expect his sister to be more direct than him.
He looked embarrassed and hesitant, "Has the court made up its mind?"
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "This matter has not yet been discussed by the court, but my majesty and I have made a decision and have sufficient arrangements. If you see Pei Meng, tell him that the palace does not take his head. The palace just needs him to sit down and have a good talk."
This this this...
"Can I dare to ask, how do the mother and your majesty plan to deal with the Northwest Army?"
Gu Jiu said vaguely: "Brother rest assured, everything has to be discussed. Both belong to the Dazhou people, and the solution to the problem is not only war."
Gu Ling didn't quite understand, he thought for a while and said, "It is impossible for Luhou to return to the capital."
He understands this.
"Uncle is not willing to be trapped in the capital. They are born as generals, and they are destined to be famous in the military and martial arts in this life, and they will also die in the military."
"My palace knows! These years, my palace has been studying Luhou and his sons, studying the Northwest Army."
Gu Ling opened his mouth wide, somewhat in disbelief.
"Brother, don't ask too much, you only need to know that neither the palace nor your majesty has a murderous heart. It is not easy for the court to spend a lot of money to train them, and they will not be fattened for slaughter."
Gu Ling let out a sigh of relief, "I hope I can talk about the results!"
Gu Jiu said affirmatively: "Of course there will be results."
She prepared an irresistible path for Luhou and his son and the Northwest Army.
"Brother tell me about myself, is it habit to return to Beijing? What do you want to do? Sister, I am now a queen, and it is a matter of one sentence to ask for an official and a half job for my brother."
Gu Jiu joked easily.
Although it is a joke, it is also true.
Gu Yu said: "I plan to take a few days off first, but I still want to continue in the army. I am used to life in the army and can't do other things."
"Is it good to go to Beijing Camp? Adjust for a year or two, then go to the south to train."
"Go to the south?" Gu Ling was surprised.
Gu Jiu nodded, "After solving the northwest, we should also start to solve the southern chieftain and border issues. Of course, this is a big event and it takes time to make arrangements. If my brother can adapt to the hot and humid southern climate, he can go to the south to train troops in advance. South In battle, you have to use soldiers born in the south to minimize battle damage caused by the weather."
Gu Ling's head was a little dizzy. He asked, "The court is still going to fight?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "My brother is really good at joking. The court raises soldiers to fight wars. Isn't it just a meal?"
"But just finished the fight in the northwest and went to the south, don't the courtiers object? Does the household have the money to fight?"
"Emperor Chengzong Wende can support a war that lasts for several years without taxation and service. My Majesty and I are only strong. Brother don't have to worry about money and food. You just tell me, are you willing to go to the south to train soldiers?"
"Can I think about it for a few days? I'm a little confused."
I was still worried that the Northwest Army was about to go to the south to train and fight. The jump was too fast and I couldn't keep up with Gu Jiu's thinking.
Gu Jiu took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "Does your brother know how to swim?"
"Of course! As a man, how can he not play in water."
Gu Jiu laughed, "I'm not talking about playing in the water, but serious swimming. You can fight water battles in inland and sea battles on the sea."
This this this...
Sister, can your thinking not jump so fast? Let brother digest and absorb first
