As soon as they arrived at the door, Ji Haiping and the others saw the plain carriage and knew that it must be Gu Shiliang's family. As expected, they walked in and saw that it was true.
"Yi Wan, Shan Zhi." Shan Zhi is Gu Shiliang's pen name, which was given to him by Ji Wenxiu when he came of age.
"Brother and sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work on the journey." A group of adults exchanged greetings, while the younger generations sat below, as quiet as chickens.
"Okay, let's talk for a while. Yansong, take your younger brothers and sisters out for a walk to get familiar with each other." Ji Wenxiu spoke as soon as he saw the children's expressions.
"Yes." Ji Yansong was already seventeen, which in ancient times was the age to marry into a family of his own, but the children of the Ji family usually married late. Ji Yansong had already passed the imperial examination and was just waiting to see a man after the imperial examination. But now everything had come to nothing.
The Ji family does not care about family background, but they will not let the younger generation of the family marry a country girl at will. It is not because they look down on her, but mainly because her growing environment, values and habits are not compatible, so how can they live together in the future? The Ji family's family motto is that one cannot divorce his wife without reason, and he can only take a concubine after he is forty and has no children.
Therefore, the Ji family is very cautious about marriage, so Ji Yansong has no hope of getting married in the short term.
Gu Can, with her God's perspective, naturally knew about this, but that was a few years away, and besides, she didn't need to worry about it. Gu and An introduced the two sides. The first confrontation between the heroine and the supporting actress began.
"Sister Ling'er, I heard from big brother that you want to be a big sister." Gu Pan spoke directly.
"Yeah!" Ji Xueling nodded. Although both of her sisters were good-looking, she still wanted to be the older sister. She wouldn't compete with her brothers or sisters at home. Among the sisters, she had to be the eldest. Humph.
"Okay, you can choose any of the arts, such as music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, needlework, or anything else you are good at. If you are better than me, I will make you my older sister." Gu Pan replied good-temperedly.
"Really, anything is fine?" Ji Xueling asked.
"certainly."
"Okay, seeing how agile you are, have you ever practiced martial arts?" Ji Xueling asked. She had acquired some martial arts skills, and she had mastered the "Body Tempering Technique". She would definitely have no problem dealing with a little girl.
"It's just a chance that I learned some things to strengthen my body." Gu Pan replied.
"Okay, then let's have a competition. Starting from here, pick flowers at the village entrance, and then return. Whoever arrives first wins." Ji Xueling said.
"Yes." Gu Pan nodded.
"Okay, you are not familiar with the road, so I will give you three breaths of time." Ji Xueling said again. She didn't want to win unfairly.
"Are you sure?" Gu Pan kindly reminded.
"Of course, let's start now?" Ji Xueling said. Gu Pan nodded, and the two of them stood still, ready to move. Seeing Ji Xueling nod, Gu Pan didn't hide anything. He tapped his toes lightly, leaving no trace on the snow. In three breaths, he was gone.
"..." Ji Xueling was bewildered and could only run after him. Why could such a delicate young lady actually perform Qinggong? Why was a ten-year-old girl so good at Qinggong? Woo woo woo, she was also going to the red envelope group to find the big guys and ask for the Qinggong technique. Humph, she wanted the most powerful one!!!
"Wow, sister Panpan is so skilled." Ji Yansong said.
"That's right, Cancan wouldn't be the same, right?" Ji Yanzhu also nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, Cancan is the best." Gu Hele nodded. The little sister is the best, the cutest, and the most considerate. He would not accept any rebuttal.
"Yes, I'm the best!" Gu Can said that his brother must support him.
"You are not modest at all." Gu Hean tapped his little sister's head helplessly. Why is she so cute?
"Humph, I'm the best!" Gu Can said that his elder brother was not considerate. He grumbled and gave him a slap on the back of his head.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, Cancan is amazing, just like a fairy from heaven." Ji Yannan was also very fond of Gu Can's adorable appearance. He was the only one of the younger generation who was married, and his wife was already five months pregnant. If it weren't for the Gu family's arrangements and care along the way, this child would have been long gone.
Xueling is well-behaved and smart, Panpan is heroic and generous, and Cancan is lively, cute, innocent and spoiled. He sincerely hopes that his wife's first child will be a cute girl like Cancan.
"It's not that good." Gu Can said that she would still be shy.
"Hahaha, yes, yes, Cancan is the most beautiful little fairy. Let's go and see where they are." Ji Yansong stretched out his hand and held Gu Can's hand.
"No, no, sister will be back soon." Gu Can hurriedly waved his hand. It was just this distance away, and Gu Pan should be back soon. Just as he was talking, Gu Pan came back, carrying Ji Xueling who was just halfway there. Ji Xueling was forced to experience the feeling of flying over the eaves and walls.
"Sister, it's Taohua, it belongs to me." Gu Can ran over and said directly.
"Okay, you have always liked this." Gu Pan also doted on Gu Can very much.
"Well, okay, you win. From now on, you will be my elder sister." Ji Xueling could only admit defeat.
"I am the older sister. Here, I carved this according to my memory of you. Do you like it?" Gu Pan took out the small gift he had prepared, a jade carving of four-year-old Ji Xueling. It was half the size of a palm, but it was carved vividly, with lively facial features and every detail visible. It was really pleasing to the eye.
"Wow, it's so cute. You carved it yourself. My god, you are so amazing." Moreover, this jade carving feels soft to the touch, and it is obviously an extremely rare warm jade.
"Sister Ling'er, this is what I prepared." Gu Can didn't prepare a special gift, just a handkerchief he embroidered himself, with a picture of carp and lotus. The plump koi fish nimbly shuttled between the flowers and leaves, which made people happy just by looking at it.
