The three time travelers hadn't had a private chat like this in a long time. Even with the addition of other relatives from the Gu family, their relationship remained the same as when they first arrived, trusting each other. Their attitude towards Gu Xin was also the same as before; she was the daughter (sister) they were meant to raise with care.
This journey to another world was the most precious journey of their lives.
All three of them have experienced or are about to experience things they never experienced in their previous lives, and they will all have a partner, get married, have children, and spend their lives together.
My parents are still alive, I have several siblings, and I still have my original career.
They have experienced things and people they could never have dreamed of in their past lives. They are truly grateful to God for choosing the three of them to come to this Great Zhou.
Just as they were getting into their conversation, Gu Xin arrived, a little jealous: "Father, Mother, and Sister, you didn't even invite me to your chat! Have you gotten so used to chatting with the three of you these past two years that you've forgotten about me?"
The three time-traveling individuals exclaimed in unison, "That's right! Who told you to be so stupid and get ambushed!"
Gu Xin: "..."
Then the whole family of four laughed.
Gu Xin sat down next to Gu Shouxin and joined the family meeting, as if she had returned to the time when she told her parents and sister about Yuzhuzi, and every small family meeting they had as a family of four.
When Gu Xin heard that her parents were sending her older sister and future brother-in-law on a trip for a few months, she immediately said that she wanted to join them and bring Yuan Yuan along.
Gu Xin had already started planning: "Yuan Yuan and Xue Er will definitely come back for Sister Zhen and Brother Qian's wedding. They led a delegation to the capital, and they've probably arrived by now. After reporting back, they'll have to come to the wedding banquet! Then, the two of us sisters can take the two brothers on a trip together!"
"We'll set off by boat from Kuncheng, spend a few days in Jinan Prefecture, and then continue on to Jiangnan. We'll return via the Jiangnan Canal, and we'll definitely arrive before my sister and Brother Xue get married. Let me count: we'll set off on August 21st, then September, October, November, and December—more than three months! After my sister and Brother Xue get married, we'll head north again next January to Yunzhou and Xingnan Kingdom. We'll travel for half a year before returning."
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian looked at Gu Xin helplessly. Gu Shouxin said, "Xin Xin, have you forgotten the Emperor?"
Gu Xin was taken aback: "The Emperor? What business is it of his if we go out to play? He can't come with us even if he wanted to!"
Cai Xiaolian said, "That's right, he can't go with you even if he wants to! But he likes to go out and play! If he knew that two young kids of the right age weren't doing their jobs properly in court but were going out to travel and have fun, what would he do?"
Gu Xin pursed her lips: "But, Brother Yuanyuan and Brother Xue have been helping me with such big things in the west these past two years. We're exhausted. Can't we take a break for a year or two?"
Gu Nian said, "Isn't the past three months before the New Year a break? If you wanted to rest for a year or two and travel all over the beautiful land of Da Zhou, our Emperor would send a team to protect you. But I think the Emperor wouldn't allow the two of them to play around for a year or two. The three months were probably only because of us."
Gu Xin thought about it and realized it made sense. Her uncle, the Emperor, had always been so unreliable. She felt a little frustrated, but then a brilliant idea struck her: "I've got it! I have a way to get the Emperor to agree. We can go to Great-Grandma! The Emperor and Uncle have been arguing about who is Great-Grandma's good grandson. Let's get Uncle involved and annoy him!"
