"Oh! It's Mingyue! I knew it! Where did this little fairy come from? It's my little Mingyue! I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and she's gotten even more beautiful!" Gu Xin squatted down, rubbed Mingyue's face, and said with a grin.
"Third cousin, I'm not trying to be lenient with that chubby boy, don't rub my face." Xiao Mingyue slapped Gu Xin's hand away with a serious expression.
She is a descendant of the Dugu clan of the Goddess Kingdom, and is born with superhuman strength. Even though she is young now, she can still knock Gu Xin away with a single slap.
"Hey, you little brat, I'm going to rub you, I'm going to rub you!" Gu Xin refused to believe it and started rubbing again.
Xiao Mingyue looked at Gu Xin with an expression as if she were an idiot.
Gu Xin: "?"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter.
If they hadn't repeatedly confirmed that Dugu Mingyue was indeed a native child, Cai Xiaolian and Gu Shouxin would have seriously suspected that she was a time traveler.
It might be because she spends a lot of time with Gu Ren, and because she is naturally very smart, so she often doesn't look like a five-year-old at all.
Dugu Mingyue was born in the second year after Gu Xin and the others went to Kuncheng. At that time, Gu Xin was only twelve years old, so Dugu Mingyue is only five years old this year, two years younger than Gu Ren.
Originally, Queen Dugu planned to have Dugu Mingyue come to the capital with Madam Peng in February. However, when Queen Dugu wasn't paying attention, the girl had someone take her to Linzhou on her own and persuaded Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu to bring her to the capital with them.
Since the couple was willing, Queen Dugu had no choice but to grant their request. She was only given one maid and was to live in the Gu family. She was not allowed to be naughty, or her aunt would definitely punish her.
Dugu Mingyue received Gu Ren's letter before the New Year, knowing that Gu Ren was going to the Royal Academy. She also wanted to go. Princes and princesses from other countries could go, and she was also a princess of the Goddess Kingdom, so she had to come.
There were no children her age in the royal palace of the Goddess Kingdom. The ministers had children at home, but she wasn't satisfied with those little brats. Even those older than her weren't as smart as her. After thinking it over, she still preferred to play with her cousins from her aunt's family, especially that chubby little Renren.
Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu had already asked Grandma and Grandpa Gu to arrange a house for them in the capital, so they didn't need to stay at the Gu family home when they arrived in the capital. However, the couple still came to visit the elders first.
Grandma Gu was quite good to Gu Qingyuan and his wife. After all, they were the only close relatives on her father's side. The two children were sensible and didn't cause her any trouble, so she was willing to help them. If it were someone else who was troublesome, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths; she would have just left it to her eldest and second eldest sons.
Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu's small home is not far from the Gu family mansion. They bought it for several thousand taels of silver. Of course, Grandma Gu did not use her own money, but rather the profits from the tea garden in Fuzhou. Anyway, it was all the property of the old Gu family. Their lineage would be inherited by Gu Qingyuan in the future, so the house could not be bought poorly.
Grandma Gu also had an ancestral hall built in the house, so that she could go there to worship her ancestors during the New Year. She also brought the ancestral tablets of her elders. The first generation of this lineage is Grandma Gu's grandparents, then Grandma Gu's parents and Gu Qingyuan's grandparents, and then Gu Qingyuan's parents.
Their Gu family will become more and more prosperous in the future; the family tree alone has several pages of records.
