Chapter 1036: Good Things Are Near

Gu Yuheng chuckled.Yun Jiao looked at Aunt Hua with admiration, that emotional intelligence, one sentence complimenting two people.

Returning home in the evening, at Yun Jiao’s request, Jiang Youzhi picked up a pen and wrote a letter to his uncle. He praised Xiao Chuan highly and expressed gratitude for Wu Fang saving Xiao Chuan.

The next day, Yun Jiao had Housekeeper Wang prepare some local specialties from Xiang City to send to the southern border along with the letter.

In the following period, the whole family eagerly awaited the letter from the southern border.

But the distance between the two places was vast, even the fastest letters would take at least half a month to arrive.

What they were actually waiting for wasn’t the letter but seemed like they were watching a series, a love story, wondering how it would unfold next, making them anxious.

Yet, Xiao Chuan resumed sending letters once every two weeks.

He didn’t mention Miss Wu anymore in the letters.

Yun Jiao sensed a hint of despondency in Xiao Chuan’s letters, as if he had suffered some setback.

Upon writing to inquire, Xiao Chuan merely said that the young lady’s home was still a hundred or two hundred miles from Jinyang County, and she had passed through Jinyang County that day.

Currently, the drought situation in Jinyang County remained severe, he had no time for other matters and was busy finding people to dig wells.

Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi then didn’t mention this matter anymore.

After all, the people’s livelihood was more critical.

From Wu Family’s uncle, a letter came shortly thereafter.

Wu Family’s uncle didn’t clearly express his view, only saying he didn’t know Xiao Chuan well, to wait and see.

Later, Xiao Chuan’s letter mentioned he had drilled several deep wells, ensuring the daily water needs of the people for now and was continuing to drill wells to use the water for and irrigate the crops.

However, disputes over water were frequent, and those border migrants didn’t understand the Great Chu language. Even with translators, they completely ignored him.

Xiao Chuan stationed government officials to guard the wells, doing his best to maintain order.

To his knowledge, similar situations were prevalent around several neighboring counties.

In his letter to Jiang Youzhi, Xiao Chuan detailed the drought issues in the southern border.

Jiang Youzhi quickly issued a decree from the imperial court, ordering the southern border garrison troops to temporarily disperse to each county to help maintain order.

Each county government, especially in remote areas, had less than a hundred government officials, simply unable to maintain order throughout the county.

Besides drilling wells and praying for rain, there was no other solution to the drought.

The entire Gu Family was worried and anxious.

After two months, Xiao Chuan wrote saying that it finally rained in the southern border, and he busied himself urging people to replant potatoes, so they might harvest something later to supplement food.

As New Year approached, the courier delivered another letter.

Gu Yuheng eagerly opened it, and after reading it, his face turned into a big smile.

In the letter, Xiao Chuan shyly expressed his desire to marry Miss Wu, asking for his father and Aunt Hua’s opinion.

Yun Jiao took the letter, glanced at it, and laughed: "This boy, surely something happened between them recently, otherwise he wouldn’t be so happy."

Gu Yuheng leaned over, "How did you notice? I didn’t see it."

Aunt Hua laughed, "I was right last time. After the New Year, when spring comes, we should go to the southern border, first arrange Xiao Chuan’s engagement, then see him get married."

Gu Yuheng excitedly said, "In a year or two, maybe we’ll be holding a grandchild."

Yun Jiao watched the two excitedly planning, feeling a sigh in her heart, although her father also liked You Er, for him, a grandson and a grandson through her were different.

There’s no way around it, no one can escape the era they live in.

Here, clan, family, and surname are deeply ingrained in people’s minds.
