Chapter 122
Young Madam (Part Five)
“Is eldest brother inside?”
Yu Fu had gone to Gu ShuBai’s courtyard to look for him . The one to come out was a young man with a dignified appearance in a military uniform .
He saw Yu Fu and froze then stammered: “He, he’s inside . ”
Very quickly, he cupped his hands and saluted her . He remained silent for a long time before saying: “Greetings, young madam…”
The members of the Gu family army referred to Gu ShuBai as the young general, then this young madam…
Her face instantly turned red .
“Yan Zhen, don’t spout nonsense . ”
Gu ShuBai strode out of his room and glanced at the man, “She’s young miss Yu Fu . ”
The girls of Eastern Ling paid the most attention to their reputations . He had not yet married Yu Fu, thus addressing her in this way was not good for her .
Yan Zhen raised his head, “Yes, greetings, young miss Yu Fu . You are a great deal taller than before . ”
Yu Fu loved it the most when others said that she had grown taller, “Really? You’ve met me before?”
“I have . When young miss was treating the head general’s poisoning, I was also at the camp and saw young miss a few times from the distance . It’s just that I was not allowed to enter the main tent, thus young miss never saw me . ”
Gu ShuBai said: “This is Yan Zheng . You should still remember General Yan, Yan HuaiShi, right? Yan Zheng is his son . ”
“Ah, so you were the son of General Yan’s family . General Yan is a very good person, and he took very good care of me while at the military camp . ”
Yan Zheng smiled without reservation, “As he should . Everyone is family . ”
The Gu family’s army was a family .
Yu Fu looked up, “Since we are all family, don’t go calling me young miss . It’s fine to call me by name . Yan Zheng, your name sounds quite good!”
Gu ShuBai mindlessly glanced at her .
Yan Zheng noticed a difference in the look in his eyes and instantly put on a serious expression, “This officer does not dare . Young miss must have come looking for the young general for something, right? This officer will be departing first . ”
After saying this, he cupped his hands, turned, and left .
Gu ShuBai stepped forward, placed a hand on his shoulder, and spoke in a voice that Yu Fu could not hear: “I know how you guys have been calling Yu Fu . If I hear anything like young madam again, don’t blame me for not holding back . ”
His voice sounded quite gentle, but it made people’s hair stand on end .
True dignity never relied on fierce fighting . This is something taught to the members of the Gu family .
Yan Zheng subconsciously straightened his back upon hearing this and solemnly said: “Yes!”
It seemed that the path from young miss to young madam was still quite long .
“For you to come running over in such a hurry, what happened?”
Gu ShuBai turned around to look for Yu Fu, and only then did Yu Fu remember her original reason for coming over .
“Oh right, the head general wants to engage sister Su to fourth brother . Did you know about this?”
“I’ve heard about it . ”
He nodded, “What’s wrong?”
“But sister Su doesn’t like fourth brother, and fourth brother doesn’t like sister Su . The one that she likes is sixth brother, and sixth brother also likes sister Su, yet he’s always awkward and keeps saying things that make her sad . ”
Thinking to every time that Gu Xiang had teased Su YunYan, Gu ShuBai seemed to have a rough idea of what was happening . *
“He is only 16 years old and is still just a child . When it comes to feelings of love, it’s inevitable that he will be a bit slow . When it comes to this sort of thing, girls will understand a little earlier . YunYan is only 15 and has been handling this far more maturely than Gu Yi . ”
So it was like this…
With something on her mind, Yu Fu said: “Then when eldest brother was 16, were you also like sixth brother?”
It was fortunate that she had met a 20-year-old Gu ShuBai . If he had been like Gu Yi and did not understand anything, would she be even more heartbroken than Su YunYan?
“I was not . ”
Gu ShuBai’s expression remained calm, “I’m not a fool . ”

Yu Fu was stunned .
“You want me to think of a way to have Gu Yi know what he truly feels and have him go to father to ask for YunYan, isn’t that right?”
“Right, does eldest brother have some ideas? Fourth brother and fifth brother have been trying to convince him for some time, but they haven’t been able to make any progress . I was responsible for trying to comfort sister Su, but I…”
Gu ShuBai shook his head with a smile .
“Your fourth brother and fifth brother are both still children who have not fully matured . How could they possibly convince Gu Yi? You are even… You and I have no misunderstandings . That YunYan isn’t jealous of you right now is already pretty good . How could she possibly be willing to hear you out?”
A group of children was doing childish things .
He patted Yu Fu’s head, “It’s fortunate that you are smart and knew to come to find eldest brother . In the future, no matter what sort of difficulties arise, you must come and find me first . Do you understand?”
Yu Fu cheerfully replied, “I understand! Let’s quickly go and find sixth brother!”
Gu ShuBai entered the room with Gu Yi, while the others waited outside and worried .
“We counseled Gu Yi for such a long time, yet it was pointless . I hope that eldest brother is able to move him . ”
“Eldest brother has experience . He will definitely find it easier to advise him than those of us who are without experience . ”
Yu Fu’s ears suddenly perked up and looked over at Gu WenQing and Gu Xiang, “What experience does eldest brother have?”
With her look of great concern, she had a bit of the flair of a proper madam .

Gu Xiang froze, “He has the experience of liking a girl . Could it be that you don’t know?”
The girl that Gu ShuBai liked, was it not just her?
Yu Fu’s face turned a little red, “Oh . ”
The two of them exchanged a smile and thought to themselves that this was what little Yu Fu looked like when jealous .
“Eldest brother, I’ve understood!”
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and Gu Yi ran out through the door .
“Put on a cloak!”
The voice from inside the room was very calm . Immediately following this, a cloak flew straight at Gu Yi .
He caught it and ran off without having a chance to put it on .
The three watched him run off in confusion and could only look at Gu ShuBai in search of an answer .
Inside the room, he sat next to the tetable . With a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, the corners of his lips were curled up in a slight smile, and he looked very natural .
