Grandma Gu has already accepted this cousin, and she is also aware of Gu Qingyuan and Gu Shouxin's plans.
She didn't care about money. After returning the items to their rightful owner, she planned to invite Grandpa Gu to go to Jiangnan together. She needed to bring her parents' ashes back so they could return to their roots.
In the land of the goddesses, people are cremated after they die, and then their ashes are placed in urns and buried underground.
The urns containing the ashes of all the queens of the Goddess Kingdom are located on Nine Phoenix Mountain. Queen Dugu had also told Grandma Gu about this. Her grandmother's last wish was to bury her ashes with her grandfather's, preferably at the place where they first met.
The place where Grandma Gu's parents first met was the Gu family's tea garden in Fuzhou.
Gu Shouxin pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Mother, I understand. However, this matter should be resolved by next year, and you and Father will need to make time to go there. It's inconvenient for Qingyuan and me. Only my eldest brother or fourth brother can go with you."
Local officials cannot travel around without imperial decree. Gu Shouxin is the prefect of Kunzhou, and Gu Qingyuan is the prefect of Linzhou. Moreover, both places are at a critical moment of development. Even if they don't do anything, a trip to Jiangnan would take at least forty days, now that waterways are open and land routes have improved.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Gu immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, next year we can bring Lao Kang, Lao Xue, and Lao Nan too. Dad, Mom, don't worry, with us here, we'll definitely protect you."
Grandma Gu rolled her eyes at him. She didn't want to scold her eldest son anymore. This kid's stubbornness didn't come out until he was over thirty!
She used to tell him not to hang out with bad boys, and he would obediently listen.
He was perfectly fine until he was over thirty and old enough to be a grandfather, but instead he was having a great time playing with a few good-for-nothing kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Now he has to take them with him wherever he goes.
Grandma Gu glanced at Zhang Shi and her five children again. Well, it seemed the eldest son didn't need to be around every day anymore. Five children were enough for her to boast about. Recently, she'd learned the "men are useless" theory from Princess Kang and Madam Xue. Besides letting others know you have a man in your family, and that he won't bother you unless necessary, a man's only use is to bear children; he has no other purpose. Zhang Shi believed them.
Grandma Gu sighed, thankfully, neither her second son's nor her fourth son's family had such thoughts yet. Otherwise, she would have suspected that she had failed in her parenting, not only raising some oddballs but also having daughters-in-law who would become oddballs.
With Uncle Gu's active cooperation, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu have finalized their trip to Jiangnan next year.
Gu En also planned to go along, firstly to annoy Gu Chengyun's family, and secondly because he wanted to study abroad.
Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.
There will be a provincial examination next year, but he has not yet participated in the provincial examination, so naturally he cannot participate in the metropolitan examination.
Going out and seeing more things will be very helpful for his reading and understanding.
Gu Shouxin wholeheartedly agreed with Gu En's initiative in proposing this matter, and felt a pang of bitterness in his heart, finally feeling that there was someone who could be taught.
It seems that boys still need to go out and explore on their own.
All the other boys in the family need to be arranged, so we'll start arranging it for Enzi's age.
A family's son will never be a hothouse flower. Girls can be raised, but sons must not be!
Gu Shouxin rarely praised Gu En, and Gu En was flattered and rolled around in bed for a long time before finally falling asleep that night!
My second uncle praised me!
