Chapter 303: Here to Try Your Luck

Zhang Yunniang was immediately filled with grief when she heard this, and she hugged her daughter in her arms.

Niu Niu did not cry, but Zhang Yunniang's tears fell.

"My daughter, who has finally grown fat, must be sent to that place?" Zhang Yunniang cried.

Gu Mingda held his wife's hand and comforted her, "It's just a saying now, it may not be true, maybe there is room for maneuver."

Although he said so, Gu Mingda felt that there was basically no possibility, and now it all depends on how the palace arranges it.

Zhang Yunniang also knew that the matter was done, and nodded helplessly.

Niu Niu raised her little face and said, "Don't worry, Dad and Mom, even if you stay in another place for a year or two, you are the best parents in my heart, and Niu Niu will always think of you in my heart."

Zhang Yunniang heard this, and the tears that had just stopped wanted to come out again.

When the carriage returned to the Gu family, Mrs. Gu had been waiting in the main room. She was shocked to see Zhang Yunniang's red eyes.

"What happened? Someone bullied Yunniang? Is it someone from the Duke of Xianguo Mansion? They are too much, I'm going to ask them for an explanation!" Mrs. Gu jumped up anxiously.

Although the old lady did not dare to attend the banquet of the Duke of Xianguo Mansion, she was angry now and was about to go out with a broom.

Gu Mingda hurriedly stopped her and said helplessly: "Mother, you are really impatient. It has nothing to do with the Duke of Xianguo Mansion."

When Mrs. Gu heard this, her shoulders relaxed, but she did not put down the broom in her hand. Instead, she continued to ask: "Who bullied her? I'm going to ask for an explanation!"

Xie Xingchuan, who was wearing a mask on the side, did not speak, but his eyes kept looking at Zhang Yunniang with concern, picking up the spear and putting it down several times.

After all, the matter the princess said was not settled, and Gu Mingda did not dare to leak the news. At this time, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Yunniang.

After years of marriage, they have a tacit understanding. Zhang Yunniang reached out and wiped her tears, saying, "Mom, I saw the Duke of Xian's mansion holding a banquet to celebrate. There was a man who looked very much like my father at the banquet. If he were still alive, he would be so happy to see that my husband is so successful now..."

Grandma Gu finally put down the broom and said, "It's good that you are not bullied. It turns out that you miss your father. Your father is a good man, but unfortunately, his health is not good."

Zhang Yunniang nodded gently. When her father was alive, she could barely eat enough. After her father died, her stepmother wished that she could only eat one bite a day.

She looked down at Niuniu. Both mother and daughter had been tortured by Cai Pozi. Now, looking back, she felt that the past was like a dream.

At that time, she had never thought that her husband would be the top scholar in the imperial examination and the whole family would move to the capital.

As time went on, Zhang Yunniang forgot to think about these changes in her busy life. Now thinking carefully, it seems that the big changes in the family started with the adoption of Niuniu.

Zhang Yunniang looked at her lucky star and thought that if her daughter really entered the palace to bring good fortune, if something happened, she would definitely try her best to save her daughter.

Xie Xingchuan was standing aside, watching the Gu family mention Zhang Yunniang's dead father. He didn't know who that person was, and suddenly he felt like he was away from home.

Suddenly he felt a warm touch on his hand.

He lowered his head and saw the little girl came to his side without knowing when, staring at him with a pair of wet eyes.

"Brother Xie, can you teach me how to dance with a spear?" Niuniu asked softly.

Xie Xingchuan immediately came to life and said, "I'll take you to the yard."

Zhang Yunniang, who was talking to other family members, turned around and saw a big and a small figure walking out hand in hand. She didn't know why, but she suddenly had the urge to cry when she saw this scene.

Gu Mingda noticed his wife's subtle mood changes and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Zhang Yunniang shook her head and said, "I am happy to see that they have such a good relationship."

In the courtyard in the afternoon, the warm spring sun shines through the treetops and sprinkles on the brother and sister.

Niuniu's eyes are bright, and she looks up at Xie Xingchuan and says, "Brother, can you teach me the gun technique you used to save Dad on the boat that day?"

Gu Mingda encountered pirates on the way to Beijing and thought he would die. Xie Xingchuan descended from the sky and shot out like a dragon, saving Gu Mingda from the pirates' knives.

Niuniu has heard Gu Mingda talk about this many times, and her eyes are full of expectations at this time.

Xie Xingchuan still had a cold face and said, "Your foundation in that gun technique is too shallow now, and you can't learn it yet."

Niuniu heard this and lowered her head in disappointment: "Okay, I'll learn something else."

Xie Xingchuan's eyes were slightly fixed, looking at the originally happy little girl, who suddenly became like a rapeseed that had been drained of water. After hesitating for a long time, he said:

"After I show you how to do it once, you have to learn something else seriously."

Hearing this, Niuniu immediately jumped up with joy, clapped her hands and stared at Xie Xingchuan with burning eyes.

Xie Xingchuan stopped the corner of his mouth that was about to rise. When he was with Niuniu, he talked more and completely forgot that he used to dislike gun show the most.

He always thought that guns were used to kill enemies in battle, not for people to watch.

At this time, for Niuniu, he threw all his rules behind his head.

Xie Xingchuan learned guns since he was a child. Both his father and martial arts masters praised Xie Xingchuan as a natural gunner.

The young man was muscular, and his movements were full of killing and decisiveness, with the sound of breaking through the air constantly ringing in the ears.

Niuniu was stunned without realizing it.

Not to mention the little girl, even Gu Mingda who heard the sound was mesmerized.

"One breath is like a coherent one, the yin and yang sky are turning around, the passing shadow is like a swimming dragon, and the rustling is like a shooting star."

Gu Mingda couldn't help but read a poem. He looked at Xie Xingchuan's figure opening and closing like a frightening dragon. He felt itchy in his hands and asked his wife for help, setting up the paintbrushes on the stone table nearby.

At this time, in the palace, the eldest princess was bowing to the Queen Mother.

Before her daughter could bend down, the Queen Mother helped her up.

The Queen Mother said casually: "Why did you enter the palace in the afternoon? I didn't bring Ling'er and Changfeng in. I haven't seen the two children in a long time."

The eldest princess was not restrained towards her mother: "You can only see them, and you can hardly see me."

The Queen Mother smiled helplessly and said: "You are so old, but you are still jealous of your two children. The Ai family only has these two good grandchildren, why shouldn't the Ai family be worried about them?"

When the eldest princess heard this, she immediately stepped back and said, "Mother, I am anxious to enter the palace this afternoon. What I want to tell you is related to the emperor's brother's heir."

After the Queen Mother listened carefully to the cause and effect, her face was not as happy as the eldest princess expected, but she said:

"How could it really be that effective? The Li family also sent several little girls into the palace in the past, saying they could recruit children. However, after raising them for several years, there was still no sound in the harem. I'm afraid they are the kind of people who take care of their children again. Make a raft and hope for good luck."

"One breath is like a coherent one" comes from Zheng Shiyuan's "Guan Qiang Technique", "Sursing like a shooting star" comes from Li Bai's "Xia Ke Xing"
