Gu Xin put the two bottles together and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh right! It's so well carved! This painting should be called 'Tiger Descending the Mountain.' I, this little tiger, have run up your mountain, hehehe, it's so beautiful! I love this!"
Lu Zheng: "I'm glad you like it! Once you've packed the perfume, give it to me! I'm going back now; I just arrived at the village and haven't gone home yet!"
Gu Xin nodded: "Okay, okay, Yuanyuan, you can go back now! Grandma Xiao was just talking about you! I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning!"
After that, the two of them had their own perfume bottles.
At the end of September, people from the Xie family came to pick up goods. They weren't coming from Sanchakou Village, but they still came to the Gu family's place, just to deliver a message to Xie Zhiyi.
In the past few days, Xie Zhiyi and Gu Xin have exchanged several letters and have become pen pals. Each time, the letters were delivered by a horse-drawn carriage that transported passengers from Yuzhou to Qingzhou. This time, the letters were delivered in person by members of the Xie family.
Gu Xin replied that she would wait until they passed through here on their way back tomorrow and then have them take the letter back with them.
After exchanging several letters, Gu Xin thought Xie Zhiyi was a good person.
She already had a bad impression of Xie Zhiyi, thinking she was just a silly, vain little brat.
So she chose the two floral perfumes that Xie Zhiyi liked the most, and also asked Gu Nian to help her choose two bottles of perfume that Mrs. Xie used, and sent them to the mother and daughter.
They also had men's items in their household, but she didn't want to give them to Lord Xie because Xie Zhiyi complained to Gu Xin in a letter that Lord Xie's concubine had wronged her, and Lord Xie believed the concubine but not his daughter.
Therefore, Gu Xin concluded that Lord Xie was not a good person. Apart from Zhang Shi, everyone in the Gu family doted on their children. In Gu Xin's view, anyone who would distrust their child for the sake of a concubine was a bad person.
Her parents had told her what a concubine was, and they told her that a woman should not become a concubine, and that she should marry a man who is devoted to her. They said that no matter how good a man is, she should not marry a man who would take concubines.
That evening, after Gu Xin finished writing the letter and packaging the four bottles of perfume, she went to find Gu Nian.
Gu Nian was sitting at her desk in her room, lost in thought, her brows furrowed in worry.
Gu Xin quietly walked over, wanting to scare Gu Nian. When she got close, she shouted loudly, "Wow!"
Gu Nian calmly turned her head and pointed to the wall: "Wow! I see your shadow, you idiot!"
Gu Xin pulled up a chair and sat down next to Gu Nian: "Sister, what's wrong? Is there another problem? Is it that you can't extract the essence of some flower?"
Gu Nian shook her head and sighed, "Ah! If only my pen pal was as innocent as your pen pal, Miss Xie!"
Gu Xin was taken aback: "Your pen pal? Brother Mu Yan? Why isn't Brother Mu Yan innocent anymore?"
Our little Xinxin has a gossipy heart.
Gu Nian sighed again: "See? Miss Xie wrote to you, but she didn't ask you for a gift! Li Muyan wants me to give him a gift; it's his birthday in a few days!"
Gu Xin: "Then just deliver it! What's so difficult about that?"
Gu Nian glanced at Gu Xin: "What should I give him? What do you think he needs?"
Gu Xin stroked her chin, thought for a while, and said, "Sister, this is a gift, it's the thought that counts. Brother Muyan will like anything you give him. Sister, you know so many things, just give him your favorite!"
Gu Nian pinched Gu Xin's little face and said with a troubled expression, "What should I do? Little Xin is my favorite, and I can't bear to give you away!"
Gu Xin shook her head: "No, no, no, sister, you like Renren the most, you can give Renren away!"
