Three days later, when Nan Jin Yu heard about this, Gu Bei had already been sent back to Prince Zhenbei’s Mansion by the deputy general on a fast horse.
Qingshan Town belongs to the southern region, and when the first snow of winter fell, a carrier pigeon flew to the Lin Family, bringing Gu Nian the first letter from Gu Bei, accompanied by a silver note worth five hundred taels.
In the letter, he explained why he couldn’t co to fetch her at the mont and asked her to take good care of herself. He assured her that once he settled down and found an opportunity, he would co to get her.
Gu Nian wrote a reply, stating that she was doing well and didn’t want to leave, and told him to take care of himself too.
Watching the carrier pigeon flap its wings and fly away, Gu Nian finally smiled.
Knowing that Gu Bei was well, she felt at ease.
"Little sister, co out quickly!" Little Hu called loudly from outside.
"Coming." Gu Nian responded hastily. As soon as she stepped out, Little Hu threw a snowball at her.
The snowball burst, with a bit falling into her collar, making her shiver from the cold.
"You’ve gone too far, brother!" Gu Nian angrily glared at him, grabbed a handful of snow, and threw it back.
Sanhu and Erhu also joined in, and the courtyard instantly beca lively.
anwhile, over at Nan Jin Yu’s place, after drinking the millet porridge Gu Nian had sent over, when he was alone in the room, he looked at his legs in confusion, supported himself with his arms on the wheelchair’s armrest, and slowly stood up.
He took a few experintal steps forward, and a joyful smile appeared on Nan Jin Yu’s jade-like face.
However, possibly because he hadn’t walked for a long ti, his legs felt very uncomfortable, and he slowly sat back down.
Gu Nian was unaware of all this.
Even she was puzzled. In theory, over the past few months, she had been bringing Nan Jin Yu food every few days, using spiritual spring water that had been heavily diluted, but without fail.
How is it that his legs showed no signs of improvent?
Yet, reality was indeed disappointing.
Nan Jin Yu never ntioned anything about his legs. She tried inquiring with Wuming, who also said he hadn’t seen any signs of improvent in their young master’s legs.
So, Gu Nian had been considering increasing the dosage of spiritual spring water for Nan Jin Yu.
"Big brother, didn’t you just co back a few days ago? Why are you back again?"
Little Hu’s surprised voice ca from outside. When Gu Nian went out to see, it really was Dahu who had returned.
So, Gu Nian asked the sa question as Little Hu.
"I ca back to discuss sothing with you all. Oh, where are our parents?" Dahu asked.
"Next door, with Uncle and Second Uncle." Ever since the smoked sausages business had stabilized, the old courtyard next door had turned into a small workshop. mbers from both the main house and the second house worked together, and naturally, Lin Sanshui paid them wages each month.
He wanted to support his two brothers but also understood the importance of clear accounts among close family. While he could pay them a bit more, he would never let them work unclearly.
After all, they all had their own families. Over ti, seeing his family earn money, who could guarantee that soone wouldn’t have so thoughts?
They worked, and he paid the wages. Without guilt, he feared nothing.
"Then let’s go next door to talk. Niannian, you co too." With that, Dahu didn’t even enter the door.
In the courtyard next door, the place was filled with hanging smoked sausages. Following Gu Nian’s instructive suggestion, they wore clean and tidy clothes while working. Their hair was completely covered, and they wore masks personally sewn by Mrs. Jiang.
