Chapter 619 You are the Great General Guarding the North
The Prince of Zhenbei paused, then straightened up. "Of course we should thank the Gu family, but shouldn't we see Chang'er first?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'er knew that the other party did not intend to show favoritism.
He raised his hand to lead the way, saying, "No problem, no problem. You've come at just the right time. We're having our New Year's Eve dinner right now. Let's not talk about anything else for now and have our meal first."
Seeing that his prospective nephew's wife was quite free-spirited, the Prince of Zhenbei felt even more favorably toward her as an elder.
I felt that my eldest nephew had a unique perspective. I thought that we had been traveling for days and, although we hadn't exactly been living in the open, we hadn't dared to relax and sit down for a proper meal.
She shouldn't have mentioned it, because the moment she did, she caught a whiff of the fragrance wafting around her, and she couldn't wait any longer.
"That's good."
The group marched in a grand procession toward the flower hall. Upon arrival, Lin Chang'er immediately added another table for her accompanying brothers.
Fortunately, there was plenty of food prepared.
Since they were all family, and no one was hiding the identity of the Prince of Zhenbei, the restaurant was filled with gasps of surprise.
The adults were relatively restrained, but the children couldn't contain their impatience.
Gu Xiaoman kept glancing at the Prince of Zhenbei. Taking advantage of her young age, she ran over to the Prince of Zhenbei with her small bowl and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Are you the great general guarding the north?"
"Xiaoman..." Gu Erlang was startled and quickly got up to pull Xiaoman away, "Eat properly, don't be disrespectful to our distinguished guest."
Prince Zhenbei waved his hand, "Very good, very good, not at all presumptuous. In the north, I am known for being able to stop children from crying at night, and few children are willing to be close to me. Perhaps that is why I have had difficulty having children in this life. Now that a child has taken the initiative to be close to me, I am very happy. Brother Gu, please sit down and have a meal."
Gu Erlang then sat back down in his seat with unease.
The Prince of Zhenbei was quite unpretentious, nodding to Gu Xiaoman. "That's right, I am the general guarding the north. How about that, isn't that impressive?"
Gu Xiaoman covered her mouth with the hand holding the chopsticks and chuckled.
As if remembering something, the Prince of Zhenbei took out a simple cloth bag from his bosom. "I was originally planning to give the children New Year's gifts tonight, but now that everyone is here, I'm taking a break and won't prepare any additional gifts."
After saying that, he took out a shiny object from his bag and handed it to Gu Xiaoman, "Xiaoman, right? This is a New Year's gift from the General."
"Wow, that's so shiny! Thank you, General!" Gu Xiaoman didn't stand on ceremony, took the stone, and ran back to her seat.
The Prince of Zhenbei then waved to the remaining children.
Several children excitedly went over to surround the Prince of Zhenbei, but Little Goldfish did not get up. He turned to look at Lin Chang'er and asked for her opinion.
After Lin Chang'er nodded, it slowly descended to the outermost position.
The Prince of Zhenbei gave all the children rubies, which were all about the same size and quality, so there was no question of favoritism.
Just take them out one by one and give them to them.
The children happily thanked the gifts they received, and the Prince of Zhenbei smiled and nodded, but his eyes kept darting between the deer and the goldfish.
Gu Xiaolu, Xiao Jinyu, Shujie'er, and Yuge'er are all about the same age, and Shujie'er and Yuge'er look quite similar.
But he recognized at a glance that the deer and the goldfish were his stolen children.
He still had some selfish motives. Xiao Lu was at the front of the line, with Shu Jie'er and Yu Ge'er waiting anxiously behind him. He was too embarrassed to linger and ask questions. When it was Xiao Jin Yu's turn, the two older children sitting over there did not come forward to wait.
He patted the child's head and asked, "How old are you? Do you go to school? What do you like to do on weekdays?" Even though his wife had told him all this in detail in the letters she secretly sent back, he couldn't help but want to hear the child say it again...
