Chapter 1024
1024 Her son
When the carriage arrived at the Peng Manor, Gu Hui asked the coachman, old Liu, to call for people to help Peng ze.
The crippled old man from the gatekeeper came over.
In the end, when Gu Hui helped him down, the old man lost his balance and tilted. Peng ze almost fell to the ground. Gu Hui pulled him back, shook her head, and then carried Peng ze again.
“Sir, lead the way. Where’s his room? I’ll send it in directly! He’s a little heavy.” Gu Hui said.
The old man did not recognize Gu Hui at first, thinking that she was one of the young masters from the merchant families.
Yesterday, when the Gu sisters came to the Peng family to pay a New Year visit, they were dressed up nicely and beautifully.
Peng ze recognized Gu Hui immediately. He had been paying attention to this girl recently.
“Alright, young master, many thanks! I’m old and can’t be compared to when I was young. When I was young, I could handle one person like Xiao Ze on each side!” The old man chuckled.
The people working in the Peng family were all old people who had been injured on the battlefield. They could not go to the battlefield anymore and had no children. The Peng family arranged for them to do some light tasks in the Peng family and take care of them in their old age.
Many of them even worked in the villages, shops, and houses in the capital.
Gu Xin and the rest did not follow him in and waited outside.
The old man brought Gu Hui all the way to Peng ze’s courtyard. His voice was loud, so it didn’t take long for everyone in the Peng family to know that Peng ze was drunk and unconscious and had been carried back.
Gu Hui entered Peng ze’s room. It was similar to what she had imagined. It was simply decorated. Most of the books on the bookshelves were about military tactics. There were even some weapons on display.
She placed him on the bed, dusted her hands, and was done.
“What’s going on?” At this moment, eldest Madam Peng entered. She glanced at the drunk Peng ze and then at Gu Hui. She did not recognize Gu Hui at first glance.
“Your humble servant, Gu Hui, greets general Yin!” Gu Hui immediately adopted the attitude she had in the camp and saluted the leader obediently.
Eldest Madam Peng was speechless.
Gu Hui?
She took a closer look and realized that it was really Gu Hui. Her tone softened a little.”I’m not in the camp right now. Huihui, you can call me aunt Yin. What’s going on with you and Xiao Ze?”
Gu Hui readily accepted her advice. aunt Yin, I was playing with my younger sisters outside today. We met general ze who went to the worry-solving Pavilion to catch people from the water Battalion. Then, I asked him if he wanted to have a meal together. He agreed. Then, as we were eating, he called for wine. And then he started drinking, and as he drank, he became like this.”
Eldest Madam Peng asked,’Zhenzhen is drinking alone? Also, where are you drinking? The restaurant next to the Peng mansion hasn’t opened for business recently!”
Gu Hui replied,”I drank it at the worry-solving Pavilion.” Ye Zhen, my second sister, and I will drink with him.”
“And then he got drunk,” said eldest Madam Peng. Where’s your second sister and Ye Zhen? How much did you drink?”
Gu Hui replied,’I forgot how much I drank. Anyway, the waiter said that their wine cellar was empty. My second sister and Ye Zhen are still fine. They’re waiting for me in the carriage outside.”
Eldest Madam Peng wanted to cover her face.
A man was drinking with three girls and got drunk. This was her son. Aiyo, Yingluo.
Eldest Madam Peng called for someone to look after Peng ze and personally sent Gu Hui out.
After sending them to the door, eldest Madam Peng wanted to say something but stopped.
“Aunt Yin, if you have something to say, just say it,” Gu Hui said frankly. In public, this humble servant is your subordinate, but in private, the Peng and Gu families have a good relationship, and this junior also admires aunt Yin very much.”
Eldest Madam Peng smiled,”you’re a good girl.” Then I won’t say anything more. You’ve also drunk so much wine, and it’s almost dark. Quickly take your sisters back!”
“Alright, goodbye, aunt Yin!” Gu Hui replied.
