Gu Xin pinched her cheek and laughed, "You again? Be careful, or I might really make you my brother's wife!"
Zheng Qiu smiled: "Just give the order, and I will obey!"
Gu Xin sighed, unsure of what to say: "Go on! Stop being so cheeky. Don't say things like that again, or I'll get angry."
Zheng Qiu nodded: "Okay, I'll head over now."
After Zheng Qiu left, she ran into the stewards of the Qian and Wang families, and nodded to them in a good mood.
The gatekeeper was quite surprised. He recognized Zheng Qiu and knew that she was a coroner from the Dali Temple. Now, she spent most of her time with their third daughter. He wondered if it was because of her job or her personality, but he rarely saw Zheng Qiu being so kind to strangers. He was still wondering what had happened.
The other party was represented by the butler, and naturally, the Gu family was also received by the butler.
The Qian and Wang families have come to deliver visiting cards. Master Qian and Fatty Wang will be coming to visit tomorrow.
The Gu family's butler took the invitation, exchanged a few pleasantries, and saw the person off. Then he took the invitation to give to Grandpa Gu.
Just then, Gu Xin finished talking to Zheng Qiu and came to see Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
"It's Grandpa Qian and Fatty Wang! I knew it! It's been four days and Fatty Wang still hasn't come. That kid's pretty slow; I bet he's deliberately slacking off at home. He's waiting until Grandpa Qian comes to Beijing!" Gu Xin complained after the housekeeper finished reporting.
"Is that young master Wang older than you?" Grandpa Gu asked with a smile.
“Yes, he already has a child.” Gu Xin nodded, then realized what Grandpa Gu meant and said shyly, “Hehe, Grandpa, I consider him to be the same age as me! He’s already on friendly terms with Enzi, so it’s okay to call him ‘kid’.”
Grandpa Gu smiled helplessly.
"You don't need to go to the Ministry of Rites today?" Grandma Gu asked from the side.
"No need to go. Those officials in the Ministry of Rites can't learn as fast as me. I bet even Renren could learn faster than them. So, I'm staying home with Grandpa and Grandma today!" Gu Xin walked to Grandma Gu's side, took her arm, and said coquettishly.
Grandma Gu didn't answer, but glanced at Gu Xin.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the years when her second son was still a good-for-nothing; her second granddaughter wasn't nearly as lively back then.
Now that I'm older and have more experience, I've become more lively, but in front of my family, I'm still that silly and kind little girl.
"Grandpa and Grandma, back in the palace, Great-Grandma even said she was going to arrange a marriage between Renren and Xiaomingyue! Is she really going to arrange a marriage between Renren and Xiaomingyue?" Gu Xin picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it, asking.
“Your Aunt Yan does have that intention, but they are both still young. Who knows what might happen in the future?” Grandma Gu said.
She wasn't really in favor of arranging a marriage between children. They seemed to get along well now, but who knew what might happen in the future? When they were little, it was just a brother-sister relationship, but when they grew up, they would meet other men and other women. She didn't want to tie the two children down so tightly.
Especially Renren, who has been clever and quick-witted since childhood. He seems like a free spirit, but he has his own ideas, and Grandma Gu cares a lot about his attitude.
She planned to wait until Gu Ren was ten years old before discussing it. Therefore, even if it wasn't Queen Dugu who brought it up, but the Empress Dowager, she would still postpone it and ask Gu Ren's opinion when he turned ten. If Gu Ren was willing, then it would be settled.
