Zheng Qiu has been in a good mood lately. There haven't been any major cases in Beijing, and she hasn't been too busy. At the end of the month, she bought groceries and planned to invite Gu Xin and Lu Zheng to her home for dinner.
Gu Xin initially wanted to say forget it, but then she remembered that Gu Hui and Gu Nian had mentioned meeting Zheng Qiu sometime, so she thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Qiu, actually I've been wanting to invite you to dinner for a while now. My older sister and sister both said they wanted to get to know you, so how about I treat you?"
Zheng Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "As long as you two sisters don't mind, you can come to my house! Call Sisi, Xue'er, Renren, and Princess Mingyue. I'll cook."
Gu Xin asked in surprise, "Really? Is that possible?"
Zheng Qiu nodded: "Okay. I admire both of you very much and would like to treat you to a meal. However, since you are both pregnant, I need to know if you have any dietary restrictions first."
Gu Xin waved her hands repeatedly: "They eat anything that pregnant women can eat. Our children are very easy to raise."
Zheng Qiu smiled and nodded.
Gu Xin then asked, "Since we've already called Renren, should we call Enzi too?"
Zheng Qiu smiled helplessly: "It's fine as long as the Fourth Young Master is free. But he's been busy preparing for the exams lately, so I think it's best not to bother him."
Gu Xin shook her head: "No, no, no, no, we can't not invite him because of this. If he finds out, he'll scold us. Let's invite him anyway, and also my eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, and my brother. By the way, Xiao Qiu, do you need any bowls, chopsticks, tables, or chairs at home? I'll have my fourth uncle's people send you a set tomorrow. Don't worry, it won't be a hassle. My fourth uncle is in charge of these things. If anyone in the villages around Beijing needs tables and chairs for a feast, they'll borrow them from him. You'll have to return them later. Oh, and Sisi, Xue'er, and I can help you with chores. Sisi and Xue'er are better cooks than me. Enzi can also help you."
Gu Xin rattled off such a long list of things, and Zheng Qiu, after thinking about his not-so-big table, finally agreed.
Gu Xin has already done her the best to help her; if she refuses again, it will make her seem pretentious.
Anyway, she had already made up her mind. From now on, she would follow Gu Xin. Gu Xin was her benefactor, her friend, and the most worthwhile person she had ever met in her life.
Zheng Qiu stayed at the Gu family's house for a short while before leaving.
Gu Xin asked Dong Xue to send two people to inform Gu Hui and Gu Nian that they would be going to Zheng Qiu's place for dinner with their husbands the following evening.
She went to find Gu En.
Gu Enzheng finished his work and stood in the yard stretching his muscles.
"Tsk, Enzi, you've really been working hard lately! If you still can't get into the top tier, it would be a real shame to waste all your efforts!" Gu Xin said with a smile.
"That's right, I'm trying my best! It's just that my hands and feet feel a bit clumsy. Third sister, would you like to spar a bit?" Gu En rubbed her wrists.
"Come on then, who's afraid of who?" Gu Xin agreed without hesitation.
Then the siblings sparred in Gu En's yard.
Gu En wasn't actually as bad as he claimed or as others thought. After all, he was personally taught by Gu Shouxin. It's just that he had read a lot of books, so people thought he was a reasonable scholar. Therefore, under normal circumstances, he would use words rather than fists.
Of course, Gu En was also a true disciple of Gu Shouxin in terms of verbal skills, but he could never win an argument with his family or Zheng Qiu.
