"Oh my god, this is just the right time!" While Ji Xueling was ecstatic, Ji Haiping and Qin Qiuyue also discovered their own golden fingers. Qin Qiuyue dug a small piece of silver out of the original owner's shoe and bought 20 large multi-grain steamed buns on her Taobao store. Ji Haiping also bought a portion of braised meat from a braised meat shop. The three of them first went to the side to eat a homemade roujiamo.
Then they shared their respective cheat codes. Then, in tacit agreement, the three of them began practicing the Body Tempering Technique. The next day, Ji Xueling went to the bathroom and pretended to have found a pheasant egg. Ji Haiping also gave some to the officials, and the other sons and the elders shared some. Ji Xueling placed a Body Tempering Pill in the boiled water.
After drinking this water, the health of the whole family will last longer.
The next day, after resting at the post station, Ji Haiping spent some money and took Ji Xueling out shopping. It was still chilly in the spring, and the weather grew colder the further they got to Yingzhou. They bought some thick quilts, but to avoid looking conspicuous, they didn't take much. The main reason was that Ji Xueling had brought a backpack back home; it was her cover; from now on, she was the one who would provide food for the whole family.
On this exile road, Ji Xueling's family of three was busy with the challenge of survival, while Gu Shiliang's family was busy arranging living space for the other family. Gu Hean and Gu Heju rode their horses at full speed, day and night, and after 7 days, they caught up with the group of exiles.
The two did not rush to come forward to recognize each other, but after arriving at the post station, Gu Hean quietly went to find the official and arranged a separate room for the family.
"Knock knock." The whole family felt a little surprised when they heard the knock on the door. Finally, Grandpa Ji asked Ji Yansong to open the door.
"It must be Brother Yansong. I am He'an, and this is Heju." Gu He'an stated his identity directly.
"It's An Ge'er and Ju Ge'er, the good boy has grown up so much." Ji Yansong patted his shoulder and then found that he was a little dirty, but Gu and An didn't care. Xiaoxiao took Gu and Ju into the house.
"He'an (Heju) meets grandpa and grandma." The two men bowed deeply when they saw the two old people.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Why are you here? How are your parents? Have they been implicated?" The old lady couldn't stop crying as she spoke. She had been worried all the way here. She hadn't seen her daughter for many years. Although they often exchanged letters, they were afraid to only report good news and not bad news. Now seeing the handsome appearance of her two grandsons, she was pleasantly surprised.
"Mom and Dad are both fine and have not been implicated. They just heard about this and were worried that no one would take care of things and that grandparents would have had a hard time on the road, so they asked us to come and pick them up. They will take care of things in Yingzhou, and they would also like to trouble grandparents, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters to hold on a little longer. Everything will be fine once we get to Yingzhou." Gu He'an said.
"How can this be? What if you are implicated? You should sever ties with us right now." In this era of imperial power, offending the emperor would lead to exile, and others would be forced to avoid suspicion. How could they dare to get involved? Even Ji Haiping and the other two, who came from peaceful times, found it incredible.
"Uncle, what you said is not true. Family members should support each other. It's just that there are too many people on the road, so my brother and I can't show up. Uncle, take this silver. There are also other things prepared by mother. It would be best if we can get through tomorrow." Gu He'an said as he handed over a stack of banknotes.
"By the way, I'm afraid you haven't eaten well these days." Gu Heju had already brought in a lot of food boxes with his men. Some of them were bought here, and many of the pastries were prepared by Ji Yiwan.
"Mom has loved cooking over the years. Grandma, please try my mother's cooking. This is specially prepared by my mother." Gu Heju picked up the pastry and handed it to the two elders.
"Very good." Zhang Yutao took a bite and found it to be really good. Ji Wenxiu already had a sweet tooth, and now that it was a gift from his daughter and his beloved grandson, he ate it so much that his beard was almost standing up.
"It's delicious! I've never tasted such delicious pastries before." Ji Xueling took a bite and found it truly indescribably delicious. After all, Ji Yiwan was already a first-class spiritual chef, and her skills in making mortal food were at the pinnacle of perfection. It was simply irresistible. And the peace of mind and warmth conveyed through the food was truly unforgettable.
"If you like it, Sister Xueling, eat more. Mother has prepared a lot. Panpan and Cancan are so happy to hear that you are coming. They are already preparing gifts for you. I want to ask what they are, but they are still very secretive. You must show me first when the time comes." Gu Heju said with a smile.
"Really? Then I have to prepare gifts for my two younger sisters as well." Ji Xueling said. She is an only child and has seen many fake sisters in modern times. However, she has two more younger sisters here. Judging from the personalities of her cheap aunt and cheap uncle, her two younger sisters must be no worse than before.
"Pfft, you, Panpan is a year older than you, but Cancan is still young. When she left Jindu, she was only two years old. She's still very cute now, right?" The Ji family has a good family tradition and doesn't favor boys over girls. On the contrary, because there are fewer daughters, the daughters are all pampered. Zhang Yutao tapped Ji Xueling's forehead and corrected her with a smile, her eyes filled with infinite longing and yearning.
"Grandma, I'm cute too. I'm not just one year older, I'm only half a year older. I'm the older sister. I don't care. I'll tell Panpan I want to be the older sister." Ji Xueling had good intentions, but she didn't expect to be suppressed by a real 10-year-old girl not long after. Ji Haiping and Qin Qiuyue burst into laughter.
