Gu Hui interjected, "Second Uncle, I think what Xin Xin said is feasible. However, we should have someone guard the north-south avenue and only hold the lantern festival in the southwest and northwest districts. That way, people from neighboring countries won't sneak into the residential areas."
Upon hearing that someone was supporting her, Gu Xin happily said, "The Northwest District is home to the Peng family and several major restaurants. The inner city moat also winds around there, so we can release lanterns along the river. Also, I think our family can speed up the production of a batch of sachets and pouches; the ladies of the Goddess Kingdom will definitely love them."
Gu Shouxin understood. Now, his daughter only wanted to earn money from neighboring countries and had her eyes on the gold and silver of the Goddess Kingdom and the jade of the Jinnan Kingdom.
Alright, since his daughter likes it, he'll go to the Peng family and discuss it with them to see how to proceed.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat together playing cards, eating melon seeds, warming themselves by the fire, and chatting.
He San Niang was pulled by Princess Jinghe to play mahjong with Gu Hui and Gu Nian.
Gu Xin, Gu Si, and Gu En watched as Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu Shouxin played cards.
Grandma Gu chatted with Grandma Xiao, Cai Xiaolian, Zhang Shi, and Sun Yumei.
Gu Ren wandered around here and there for a while, and started to miss his mother.
But his mother ignored him for several days because he wouldn't tell her what he wrote about his father and sister.
He wanted to talk to her, but his mother ignored him, so he got angry and ignored her. Now he really wants to talk to her.
After his time travel, he gained so many new family members, but he still missed his parents and sister very much.
Gu Ren turned his head and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He wanted to sneak to the Peng family's house by himself, but it was the New Year and there were no lights outside. What if he accidentally stepped in poop? And his family would definitely panic if they found out he was missing.
Forget it, I'll talk to his mother properly when I visit her for the New Year!
...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Gu family slept from dawn until noon.
After getting up and having lunch, I tidied up and planned to take gifts to the Peng family to pay a New Year's visit.
Kuncheng doesn't have many rules. Anyway, it's not fun at home, so it's better to go to the Peng family and chat with them about the Lantern Festival.
They prepared quite a lot of gifts, mostly homemade items, such as cured meat, sausages, beef jerky, pork jerky, and preserved duck, as well as toiletries, perfumes, and balms.
The Peng family had more men, and apart from Peng Mu, who was in poor health, the rest of them were preoccupied with training troops and when to conquer all the neighboring countries.
There were five women plus Cheng Huaiyu.
Cheng Huaiyu, dressed in a red jacket with white fur trim on the collar and cuffs, was standing at the door with three-year-old Peng Balang and Peng Mu, planning to go to the Gu family to play with Gu Xin and the others.
Before I could even get into the carriage, the Gu family's carriage arrived.
Upon seeing the Gu family, Cheng Huaiyu's already smiling face broke into an even wider grin. She ran up to greet them.
Just then, a fast horse came galloping by. It looked like the horse had been startled, and a young man on the horse shouted, "Xiao Yu, make way! Make way!"
The young man on horseback is Peng Sanlang, Peng Chi, the son of General Peng Er.
He rushed through the gate, and it took him a while to subdue the horse. Then he turned the horse around, came over, and dismounted.
After dismounting, he looked around and realized that apart from his two younger brothers and sister, he didn't recognize anyone else.
The girl next to Xiaoyu, however, looked quite pretty.
"Third Brother," the Peng siblings called out.
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "Are you General Chi?"
She heard that Brother Yuanyuan was on a mission with Peng Sanlang (Peng Chi) and his men.
