She also said that Aunt Jiang said drinking more goat milk is good for your health, and that she knows how to care for her.

"Mother, when we have the chance, I'll take you to Grandfather's place to see the Shao family's estate. It's so nice to look at."

"Okay, Mother will go and see her when she has the chance."

Have you prepared a gift for your friend?

"Everything is ready. Have Gu Wen and Gu Armed."

I wonder if Shao Yun will miss me. He has several cousins, brothers, and other male relatives; he probably won't.

For the first time, Gu Zheng felt that he had friends, real friends, and he felt a little anxious about losing them.

"Mother, after I leave, you should rest more. I see that Aunt Jiang isn't so busy and seems to be having a very comfortable time every day."

Her family had servants do everything, and Aunt Jiang never attended any banquets. During the six months I lived there, I never saw her dressed up even once.

Gu Zheng felt that Aunt Jiang was living a good life, unlike his mother, who had too many things to do and was too tired.

"Since Uncle Jiang is not in officialdom, he has far fewer social interactions."

Aunt Jiang may not like social gatherings or lively events, so she can choose not to go.

However, your father is stationed on the frontier, and there are certain social obligations he has to maintain. Your mother doesn't want to go, but she can't really refuse to go.

Madam Gu understood what Xiao Qi was trying to say, but it was different.

“I don’t understand, but I want to live like Aunt Jiang and not be too busy.”

"Okay, our Xiaoqi can live whatever kind of life she wants."

Madam Gu thought that Gu Zheng was the youngest son of the legitimate wife, and as long as he did not squander the family fortune, he would live a life of comfort and never have to worry about making a living.

She has no biological daughters, and her dowry will be divided among her three biological children. At that time, she will give more to Xiaoqi.

Gu Zheng was unaware of his mother's plans. At only twelve years old, he did not yet understand the importance of gold and silver.

Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Gu Zheng planned to set off.

He kowtowed three times to his mother, telling her to take care of herself and that he would write back often.

From the capital to the prefectural city, the journey grew increasingly warm and welcoming. Gu Zheng was eager to return to see his friends and didn't feel tired at all.

Finally, they saw the city. Gu Zheng wanted to visit his grandfather first, so he headed towards Bailu Academy.

Haha, I, Gu Zheng, am back again.
