After returning to her room, Gu Xin washed up and went straight to sleep.
She had been idle for several days, but she's been busy all afternoon and has been highly focused ever since, so she's tired now.
She also ate a jade bead before going to bed.
Now, she gives seven jade beads to her parents every day and keeps three for herself. The Gu family uses these seven jade beads on flowers, plants, and trees, and of course, they also keep many for later use.
Gu Xin is getting old enough that she can't stay home every day after getting married, so she needs to save some money.
...
The next morning, before dawn, Gu Xin got up.
After practicing a set of boxing moves with Gu Si and Gu Yingxue at the training ground in the manor, I felt completely refreshed.
Gu Si and Gu Yingxue were particularly envious of Gu Xin, but both of them were a little afraid of dead people, so they could only listen to Gu Xin talk about it and did not dare to go with Gu Xin to see it.
After finishing her set of punches, Gu Xin washed up and went to the outer room for breakfast. Thinking about what she needed to do that day, she ate quickly and left in a hurry after finishing.
Uncle Gu angrily refused to eat anymore and insisted on going to the yamen to find Lord Qin immediately.
As a result, he was stopped by Grandma Gu and scolded. He became dejected and then secretly took his nameplate and handed it into the palace. He wanted to have a proper talk with his grandmother.
Grandma Gu looked at her eldest son speechlessly. He was over forty years old, but he was still acting like a child!
"Grandma, Dad just can't stand seeing his sisters suffer. Didn't he say before that Mom and Second Aunt gave Sisi too much work? I think Great-Grandma will be very happy to see Dad go to the palace, and will let him stay a little longer. After Great-Grandma explains her reasoning, Dad will probably even go to thank Lord Qin." Gu En happened to be accompanying Grandpa Gu to tend to the flowers. Seeing Grandma Gu's worried look, he knew what she was thinking and comforted her.
"Luckily, your second uncle realized his mistake in time and has taken care of you all these years!" Looking at Gu En, who has grown into a young man, Grandma Gu sighed for no reason.
Gu En was taken aback.
Then I thought of all the embarrassing things that happened to me when I was a child. Thinking about it, it's true. If my second uncle hadn't said he would take care of him, he might be just like his father now, a big, carefree fool who doesn't worry about anything.
"Enzi, how's your studying going lately? Are you confident about the imperial examination?" Grandma Gu smiled at Gu En's dazed look and asked with concern.
Gu En looked terrified.
Good heavens, his grandma smiled at him and even asked him about his studies...
"What's with that expression? Am I not allowed to ask you anything?" Grandma Gu frowned.
"No, no," Gu En quickly shook her head. "Grandma, I'm doing quite well. I'm confident I can get into the top class. It's just that I've been feeling a bit down lately, and I want to travel around for a while before coming back in August."
"Where are you going?" Grandma Gu asked.
“I just want to travel to some famous mountains and rivers. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I want to go out and see more of the world. Anyway, there are still more than half a year until the imperial examination.” Gu En scratched his head and said apologetically, “I originally wanted to tell my parents and second uncle these past few days, but I felt that my father and second uncle were a bit busy these days, and my mother couldn’t make the decision for me, so…”
"You little rascal, so you only told me that I could make decisions for your father and second uncle? Were you afraid I would ask you questions earlier? Or were you originally planning to have your grandfather plead with your second uncle on your behalf?" Grandma Gu knew perfectly well that only the chubby little Renren dared to act spoiled and say whatever he wanted in front of her; the other boys in the family wouldn't dare.
