Chapter 61

Like Being Apart for Three Autumns
“Little Yu Fu, come and let sixth brother hold you . I’ve missed you to death!”

The carriage stopped outside of the palace, and Gu Yi rushed over after dismounting his horse; however, Gu ShuBai was the first to exit the carriage .

“From Marquis Gu’s Manor to the palace is no more than the length of the road . There’s nothing closer than that . In just this short period of not seeing her, what is there to miss?”

Gu Yi miserably muttered, “Eldest brother, you don’t understand . This is that saying of not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns apart . This short period of time is at least equivalent to one month!”

A day of not seeing one another is like three autumns apart . For this saying to have been brought out, was he implying something?

How bold .

Gu ShuBai squinted at him, “It turns out you’ve done quite well in your studies to use such idioms so ‘appropriately . ’ I will definitely find some time in the future to go and ask Teacher Lin about your studies . ”

When Lin FengMiao’s name was brought up, Gu Yi thought back to when he had been caned and the strong look that Teacher Lin had during those times . He shrank his neck in and did not dare say another word .

Outside of the palace, there were quite a few officials getting out of their carriages with their family members . Seeing Gu ShuBai come out of a carriage, they were a bit surprised .

“Could it be that the heir of Marquis Gu’s Manor is ill or something? Why would he ride in a carriage? It’s also such an elegant and beautiful carriage . It’s clear that it was made for a girl to ride in . ”

“I haven’t heard anything about an illness . Oh, look, why is second young sir Gu also coming out from inside the carriage?”

What had happened to the sons of Marquis Gu’s Manor? Rather than their perfectly fine horses, why did they ride in a carriage made for a girl?

Gu JiuGe exited the carriage and turned around, extending his hand . It seemed as though he was waiting to help someone out of the carriage . Gu Yi also hastily reached out, and there were now four hands reaching towards the carriage .

Gu ShuBai looked at his three younger brothers .

Gu JiuGe pulled his hands back .

He did not do it because he was afraid of Gu ShuBai’s power . Rather, it was Yu Fu’s sigh earlier in the carriage that left him in a disadvantageous position .

That action laid bare her inner feelings .

Gu Xiang and Gu Yi did not know why Gu JiuGe had pulled his hand back . They simply thought that since he had already pulled back, the two younger could only obediently follow along .

Quite a few people, whether near or far, saw this scene and felt quite curious .

What sort of person was in the carriage that could have all of the young sirs of Marquis Gu’s Manor want to help them?

This was truly too hard to believe!

The carriage’s curtain shifted slightly, and the gems hanging below made a soft ringing noise . The girl’s hair flowed like a deity’s, and the gold ring in her hair was gorgeous and luxurious .

She lifted her head, revealing her pale and beautiful little face . When she smiled, a pair of charming dimples appeared . The dot of rouge on her forehead emphasized her beauty even more .

She smiled and reached out her hand toward Gu ShuBai, “Eldest brother!”

That pair of eyes that arced slightly when she smiled seemed to contain a fine wine that caused people’s hearts to become enchanted . It told everyone that this was the pair of hands that she wished to hold .

Gu JiuGe’s eyes dimmed slightly, while Gu Xiang and Gu Yi had more noticeable reactions, gathering around Yu Fu and accusing her of playing favorites .

“Little Yu Fu, could it be that I treat you poorly? I even got into a fight for you . Why don’t you seem to like me?”

“I really like sixth brother!”

Yu Fu looked at him with a smile . Just as Gu Yi’s eyes were lighting up with joy, she held Gu ShuBai’s hand and walked in .

Clean and efficient .

Gu ShuBai secretly praised her . This was the personality of someone who could accomplish great things .

While they walked, the necklace that hung from her neck shone radiantly and attracted everyone’s attention .

The people observing nearby watched for a long time until they finally noticed something, “Oh, that seems to be the treasured necklace belonging to Marquis Gu’s wife . It’s the one that he had consecrated at Huguo Temple that year! Lord Marquis Gu was willing to give such a treasure to her?!”

Exactly what sort of magical power did this young girl have that would make Gu HuaiJiang like her so much?

“This is not strange . Even His Majesty granted her use of the imperial boat to play . What is there that can’t be given to her? Regardless of whether or not she is his blood, just look at how Lord Marquis takes care of her . Even if she isn’t his blood, we just need to treat her as if she is!”

During this time, whether it was members of the imperial family or the officials of the court, they would all warmly come up and greet the group upon seeing Gu HuaiJiang .

After greeting Gu HuaiJiang, they did not head straight for Gu ShuBai . Instead, they headed straight for her .

“Young miss Yu Fu really is a goddess from the highest heavens and definitely will not lose to the eldest young sir’s good looks… This necklace is really pretty and accentuates young miss’ beautiful skin . ”

Gu ShuBai was a man and did not like hearing others praise his good looks, but he maintained his polite smile .

Yu Fu, however, happily accepted the praise, “Thank you, this was given to me by head general!”

After saying this, she looked over at Gu HuaiJiang . The officials around them instantly had a realization .

Sure enough, this was the treasured necklace belonging to Marquis Gu’s wife!

“So that’s how it is . Lord Marquis really dotes on young miss Yu Fu! Right, young miss Yu Fu, I previously told Lord Marquis to recommend an embroidery teacher to teach you embroidery . But young miss did not like this, so I had her embroider a folding screen for young miss and will send it to your manor tomorrow . How does that sound?”

If the treasured necklace had not been seen, this screen might not exist .

The area slowly filled with people staring at the necklace hanging from Yu Fu’s neck . As if she was a star and they were planets, every conversation was about her . It was this that proved Gu HuaiJiang’s thoughts to be accurate .

“Father, for the sake of making sure that Yu Fu did not suffer any misery, you even brought out mother’s treasure . Were you willing to part with it?”

Gu ShuBai secretly whispered this into Gu HuaiJiang’s ear while nobody was watching, and the latter slightly raised his eyebrow . From his dignified visage, a rare and faint desire to banter appeared .

“Your mother said long ago that this was meant for her and my daughter… or daughter-in-law . ”

Gu ShuBai was stunned .

Daughter or daughter-in-law?!

Had he misunderstood something or was Gu HuaiJiang truly implying something about him…
