As soon as Xie Zhiyi said this, the three Gu sisters and Gu Yingxue started to tease her, and Huo Yanyu finally pursed her lips and agreed.
Hmph, it's just a matter of knowing your own feelings, it's very simple. There's absolutely no way I could fall for Peng Silang, and there's absolutely no way Peng Silang could ever be interested in me.
I sacrificed myself to make my best friend happy; she will definitely be grateful to me in the future.
So the sisters started discussing what to do next.
Outside, Princess Jinghe looked at the carriage with envy and said to Gu Hui and He Sanniang, "Those little girls, I wonder what they're talking about again. One minute they're laughing and the next they're whispering. We three should ride in a carriage, not on horseback!"
He San Niang, who was also a bit of a gossip, chimed in, "That's right, Elder Hui, we'll have to ride camels once we leave from the Princess Temple. If we can take a carriage, we should!"
Gu Hui looked at the two of them helplessly: "You two go ahead and experience the life of a young lady. When you return to Da Zhou, I have a feeling that you two will definitely get married this year."
Princess Jinghe and He Sanniang were extremely shocked: "Really?"
Gu Hui nodded: "Really, I had a strong premonition. I felt like I was going to lose a lot of money. I couldn't figure out where I would lose it. But seeing how old you are, I finally remembered that you should get married and I should give you dowries!"
Princess Jinghe: "Sister Hui, I want silver notes, not any other dowry."
He San Niang nodded in agreement: "Yes, silver notes are great, I want silver notes too. Sister Hui, I'm poor and don't need jewelry, please remember to give me silver notes!"
Seeing the two people being so impolite, Gu Hui fell silent.
It seems we're going to lose a lot of money!
...
Starting from the capital of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, the group continued walking until nightfall. The closest place to the Flowing Sand Kingdom along the way was the Shalin Tribe, but it would still take five days to enter the territory of the Shalin Tribe.
Therefore, before reaching the Salin tribe, they could only rest in tents at night.
The girls chatted all day without feeling tired. When they stopped to rest, they set up a large tent themselves, planning to sleep together that night. Gu Hui and the other two also came to help.
"You guys go have fun, I'll just go with my brother-in-law and Xue Er!" Lu Zheng couldn't bear to see Gu Xin doing anything, so when he saw Gu Xin moving things, he quickly came over to help.
Peng Ze and Xue Qianyu also came over.
With their help, the girls went to fetch water. When they arrived at the pool, there were already merchants, soldiers, or officials' attendants there.
"Brother Xiao Jin is over there!" Gu Yingxue spotted Cheng Huaijin at a glance and called everyone over there.
Gu Nian glanced at Gu Yingxue in surprise. When did San Niu get such good eyesight? It was almost dark.
Gu Nian didn't think much of it and went with her sisters.
"Eldest sister, second sister, Xinxin, Sisi, and a few other girls!" Cheng Huaijin greeted everyone one by one.
He is now calling for help with Gu Xin. If he weren't the adopted son of the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom, Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian would have taken him in as their adopted son. Not for any other reason than that he saved Gu Xin and protected her several times in dangerous situations.
"Xiao Jin, keep going, we just came here to get water!" Gu Nian said.
"Yes, I'm done. You can come now!" Cheng Huaijin nodded and stepped aside a little. His gaze towards Gu Nian was now completely normal, and of course, his heart was completely at peace as well.
