In the seventh year of Chengning, there was great chaos on the border.
The Wen family father and son were about to go on an expedition, but they were worried about their legitimate daughter, so they could only order someone to escort her back to Beijing and entrust her friends to take care of her.
Before leaving, I heard that the young general warned his sister repeatedly and sincerely: "Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are both good people, but Gu Huaize is the only one who is so arrogant and sanctimonious. You can't believe a word he says. It can take more than a month or a year. My brother will definitely come to take you home."
Wen Ying nodded in understanding, not knowing why her brother was so afraid.
When the news came back to the capital, Mrs. Gu Hou was very happy. She wanted to have a delicate daughter in the past, but unfortunately her health was bad and it was difficult to have one in her life. Now she was naturally happy and moved several calligraphy and paintings from Gu Huaize's study.
Gu Huaize: "..."
Wen Lan's sister is indeed in the same trouble as him.
After a few paintings and calligraphy, Gu Huai suddenly forgot about it and went out on business. When he returned to his house half a month later, he saw a girl beside his mother.
The girl was young, delicate and frail, and it looked as if a gust of wind could blow her down.
--Oh? It's Wen Lan's troublesome sister.
But when she saw him, she stood up from a distance and said hello openly: "Brother Gu."
There is a smile in her beautiful eyes.
Gu Huai was stunned for a long time before he found his voice, "... Hmm."
*
The Gu and Wen families are family friends, but the younger generations in the family are incompatible with each other. Wen Lan and Gu Huai have been in tit-for-tat since childhood and have always fought over everything.
When Wen Lan went to war, his father had to entrust his sister to the care of his friends. Wen Lan was worried that Gu Huai Ze would bully his sister, so he hurried back to Beijing as soon as the war was over. When he arrived at Gu's house, he saw Gu Huai Ze patiently drawing paper kites, and there were people pointing dissatisfiedly beside him.
Wen Lan almost thought he was blind.
When Wen Ying saw Wen Lan, she ran over happily and called her brother in a crisp voice.
Before Wen Lan had time to agree, he saw the man who was drawing a paper kite walking over slowly and calling lightly, "Brother."
Wen Lan: "..."
If I remember correctly, he was three months younger than Gu Huaize.
