"Okay, come in first, it's not cold at all." Ji Yiwan called out. The family entered the house in a mighty procession. The family talked for a while.
Ji Yiwan went to prepare the food, while Gu Pan and Gu Hele surrounded Gu Hean and Gu Heju, chattering and asking them about their experiences along the way.
Gu Can was sipping milk tea and watching them cheerfully. The two brothers had brought back a lot of little gadgets, and Gu Can liked them very much.
On New Year's Eve, the family went to Banshan Village. With Ji Qingwan joining them this year, the Ji family was even more lively. Ji Wenbo and Ji Wenxiu emphasized their hopes for the boys' college.
After the Lantern Festival, the two brothers continued their study tours. Last year they went north, and this year they decided to go south. They each devoted themselves to their respective careers.
Sima Jinghao was summoned back to Beijing by the emperor to celebrate the New Year. In March, he once again changed his name to Ji Jinxing and went traveling with his two brothers.
They acted like leisurely kings enjoying the sights and sounds of the mountains and rivers. This time, the two brothers did not come back for the New Year, but went directly to the east, which made Gu Pan and Gu Hele very disappointed.
Qin Xiaocao and her classmates from the first batch of women's college are now ready to start their studies.
There were six promising martial arts students who reached the level of second-rate martial artists in three years and were directly retained in school to become members of the supervisory guard team of the women's college.
This is a department established by the college during the Qin Xiaocao incident. It maintains the daily safety of the women's college, investigates students with problems from their original families, and promptly protects the personal rights and interests of students.
Among them is Qin Xiaotao. Although this girl started practicing martial arts very late, she has a really good foundation and a good understanding. Even though she entered school nearly a year late, she graduated with the first place in martial arts.
With the first batch of employees, various factories began to really play their role.
Three years passed, and Ji Xueling had reached the age of marriage, while Gu Hean and Gu Heju had both become juren.
"Oh." Gu Can looked at the lively girl with beautiful eyes and sweet smile, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong? Your brows are wrinkled like an old man. If Ling'er comes over and sees you, she will make trouble for you." Gu Pan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Gu Can's appearance.
"She wouldn't dare." Gu Can curled her lips. She sighed because Sima Jinghao had never been to Qingshan County.
Three years ago, Gu Shiliang was promoted to become the prefect of Qingzhou, which is adjacent to Yingzhou. With the success of Qingshan County, he adapted to life in Qingzhou smoothly.
The Qingzhou Women's College branch also officially opened this year and is larger in scale.
The new county magistrate of Qingshan County is Sima Jinghao's man, so he has been very well-behaved since he arrived. Now the president of Qingshan County Women's College is Ji Qingwan, so everything can go on as usual.
This time, Gu Can rushed to celebrate Ji Xueling's birthday, and he said that the plot had completely gone off track. Her sweet CP was gone.
"Panpan Cancan, what are you doing here? Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you come earlier?" Sure enough, Ji Xueling ran over when she saw the two sisters.
"You're already an adult, can you please be more steady?" Gu Pan finally found the opportunity to say this.
"Haha, why am I not calm? Let's go, the ceremony will start soon. I was so envious when Panpan came of age last year." Ji Xueling said as she pulled the two of them over.
After the ceremony and the excitement, the three sisters hid aside and talked in whispers.
"Sister Ling'er, you have reached the age of marriage. Have your uncles and uncles considered your marriage?" Gu Can asked.
"What's there to consider? It's just a head tax of five people. It's not like I can't afford it. If we want to get married, I must be willing. And I won't compromise. I won't agree to having three wives and four concubines." Ji Xueling was not worried about her parents' urging her to get married. After all, they had given up before she traveled through time.
"Well, my uncle and aunt are really nice, and my parents are nice too. However, all girls from the families of officials of the fourth rank and above must participate in the selection. This year, His Majesty is seriously ill and is exempted from the selection. If we have to wait another three years, Cancan will be in danger." Gu Pan looked at Gu Can with some concern.
"No, Daddy will definitely find a way to exempt us from the election." Gu Can was still quite confident. They were not following a palace fighting script.
Ji Xueling is a possibility. After all, if Sima Jinghao ascends the throne, the Ji family will definitely return to the capital. At that time, the attraction between the male and female protagonists should take effect.
"Well, my uncle is so powerful, there must be a way. Then we sisters will go out into the world together!" Ji Xueling said with great enthusiasm, as if she could travel the world with a sword tomorrow.
The two sisters were not disappointed. Gu Pan was even more eager to travel around the world with her swordsman. Two years ago, she disguised herself as a man and went to study with the three brothers Gu and An.
Sima Jinghao had been forced to stay in Kyoto for the past two years. Even though he had reached adulthood, he still hadn't been arranged to marry. I don't know if it was due to some plot twist, or if the old emperor simply forgot his son wasn't married yet. It had nothing to do with her, though.
After the coming-of-age ceremony, Gu Pan and Gu Can stayed for two days. They wanted to return to Qingzhou slowly, just to broaden their horizons along the way. However, the atmosphere gradually became tense. It was said that the old emperor's illness was getting worse, and there was always a sense of panic when the imperial power was transferred.
The two sisters no longer walked slowly. A month after returning to Qingzhou, the old emperor passed away. Soon after, Sima Jinghao ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Mingzheng.
The Ji family was rehabilitated and returned to the court. In the first year of Mingzheng, an imperial examination was held to select scholars, and Gu Hean ranked third in the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy.
Gu He ranked eighth in the second class of Jinshi and was sent to Lingnan as a county magistrate.
The two sisters of the Gu family were specially granted the right to marry on their own. Gu Pan and Gu Hele happily followed Gu Heju to Lingnan to take up their posts. They vowed to help Gu Heju build a prosperous Lingnan.
