"What's wrong with Fourth Brother?" Gu Ren and Dugu Mingyue changed into their training clothes, ran over hand in hand, and asked gossipily.
Gu Xin and Gu Si were still feeling regretful, and Bai Er didn't know whether he should say anything.
"Bai Er, tell us!" Dugu Mingyue patted Bai Er on the shoulder.
Bai Er glanced at Gu Xin.
"Go ahead and tell them, let them feel down too," Gu Xin sighed.
So Bai Er repeated what he had just said.
Gu Ren and Dugu Mingyue listened with great interest.
After listening, the two younger ones had no regrets at all. Gu Ren even slapped his forehead and said, "He's truly my brother! He can even give me inspiration like this. I absolutely adore him!"
Dugu Mingyue shook Gu Ren's hand: "Brother Renren, what have you thought of this time?"
Gu Ren held Gu Du Mingyue's hand with one hand and patted her little head with the other: "Mingyue, be good. You play with Third Sister and Fifth Sister. I'm going back to my room first! I won't play with you today, okay?"
Dugu Mingyue nodded obediently: "Okay."
Gu Ren really wanted to kiss this little one; he was becoming more and more obedient.
However, he didn't do that. He just reached out and pinched Dugu Mingyue's cheek, then let her go and left.
Gu Xin and Gu Si: "..."
...
While eating breakfast, Zhang muttered to herself in frustration, "Why has Renren suddenly become so studious? He locked himself in his study early in the morning, even though he doesn't have to take the imperial examinations."
Grandpa Gu chuckled, "He's probably come up with another good story! Just have someone send him breakfast. It's rare for this kid to be quiet."
Zhang nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Father, I've already had someone send it to him."
Uncle Gu picked up his chopsticks and took a crystal dumpling, sighing, "Today is really strange. The one who should be studying hard for the imperial examinations is eating leisurely here, while the one who should be playing is writing furiously in the study. I'm so lucky to have two sons like this."
Grandma Gu chimed in, "That's right. You're so lucky. You don't have to take care of your children. They've grown up on their own. Unlike me, an old woman who's almost sixty and still has to watch over my silly son, afraid he'll go hungry."
When Grandma Gu said this, everyone except Grandpa Gu was stunned and looked at her in surprise.
The main reason is that Grandma Gu doesn't usually respond to these kinds of remarks, and although she usually has a blank expression, you can tell whether she's happy or unhappy.
Unlike now, when she says something like that, you have no idea whether she's in a good mood or a bad mood.
Grandma Gu: "What are you looking at me for? Time to eat!"
Everyone obediently lowered their heads and ate their food.
Grandma Gu turned to look at Grandpa Gu, and Grandpa Gu smiled. Grandma Gu smiled too.
Then the dining table returned to its usual state.
Dugu Mingzhu's eyes darted around, and she said, "Grandma, I want to hear the story of Hua Mulan. Can you ask my fourth cousin to tell it to me?"
The background of this book is set by Gu Ren. The history before the Song Dynasty is the same, but the history was changed when the Song Dynasty came. Therefore, many backgrounds are the same as the historical background that Gu Ren experienced, and some characters also appear.
Grandma Gu raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu En. Gu En had almost choked. He wasn't really stupid; he knew in an instant that Bai Er must have told his third sister what happened last night, and this little girl must have heard it too.
He's quite calm now.
