Gu Yun rubbed his nose.

Shen Yi: "What?"

Gu Yun lowered his voice and spoke close to his ear: "I told him that I will accompany His Majesty to Xiangshan, and will not be able to come back tomorrow night. If you see him later, remember not to ruin it for me."

Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then said: "... Marshal, you really have such big guts!"

Gu Yun was also distressed. Since he had inadvertently revealed that he might have to return to the frontier, Chang Geng became completely different. Previously, he had always been diligent with martial arts practice, but now he started to risk his life for it. He had injured his wrist the other day, causing it to become swollen like a steam bun. In the afternoon, he insisted on going out for archery regardless of his wound, making his martial arts instructor so frightened that day by day, he had to find Gu Yun to apologize.

Gu Yun felt that Chang Geng was a bit too clingy with him. Were the father and son of other families also this nauseous?

This cotton coat* was too warm, making him break out in a sweat - it indeed was a comfortable and sweet burden to bear.

*people often used the term cotton coat to compare to their daughters, warm and caring for their parents.

The two walked into the manor side by side, and when they entered the door, they found that it was still brightly lit inside, and no one had gone to bed yet.

A little girl as beautiful as a flower rushed out from the inside and shouted: "Big brother, the marquis is back!"

Gu Yun thought: "Since when was there a girl in the manor, is it the big willow tree at the door coming to life?"

Looking again, it turned out that the 'little girl' was actually Cao Niangzi. He had dressed himself up like a little lady, or rather a little lady who was ready to celebrate the New Year.

Gu Yun was puzzled: "What are you all doing?"

"Big brother Chang Geng said that today is the Marquis' birthday, he told everyone to wait for you to come back." Cao Niangzi said, "General Shen has also come, just in time, we can all eat noodles together."

Shen Yi immediately agreed: "Very well, it's better to arrive on time than to arrive early!"

After that, he gave Gu Yun a meaningful look and subtly conveyed his meaning with his eyes - you liar, are you feeling guilty yet?

The birthdays of older people were lively, for they were the celebration of longevity. The birthdays of children were also lively -- as it was not easy for them to have grown a year older, their parents could heave a sigh of relief.
