At Gu Manor, as soon as the first month of the new year passed and the snow began to melt, Ms. Su was eager to go to Qinghe County. She summoned Gu Qingping.
Gu Qingping had gotten married on the Lantern Festival and was now in the blissful honeymoon stage with his wife, Ms. Zhao; they were incredibly affectionate.
Gu Qingping was also a young man of twenty. Once a young man like him experienced marital intimacy, he became utterly inseparable from his wife, doting on her day in and day out.
So, when Mother Li from Ms. Su's chambers came to call him, Gu Qingping dawdled for a good while before reluctantly making his way to Ms. Su's Li Courtyard.
"Mother, you called for your son?"
Ms. Su said irritably, "What? Now that you're married, you've forgotten your own mother?"
Gu Qingping rubbed his nose. "Of course not. Haven't you excused us from our daily morning and evening greetings, Mother?"
