Chapter 290 Fief_2

When Gu Chen returned to the Gu Mansion, it was already near dusk.

After returning, Gu Chen informed his second uncle, Gu Chengfeng, and his family about the news of his fief.

"What?! Da Lang, you have a fief?" Gu Chengfeng, who was clearly aware of the differences between nobility with and without fiefs, was astonished, saying, "It looks like the emperor... The current majesty truly values you; he did not waste your effort in that life-and-death battle."

For someone of Gu Chengfeng's age, thinking of the emperor still conjured images of the former Xia Emperor, leading to occasional slips of the tongue.

"Yan territory, I've heard it's a nice place; it seems to be near the sea, right?" Aunt Xu Qinge remarked.

"The sea?" Gu Qingyan's eyes immediately sparkled upon hearing this, saying, "I've never seen the sea in my entire life, big brother, can I go with you?"

Aunt Xu Qinge also looked at Gu Chen longingly; it was evident that even she was quite moved by the idea.
