Finally, the family of three discussed it and made a list, which Gu Xin dictated and Ying Shiyu Ding recorded himself.
She can speak the local dialect, but she hasn't learned to write much.
When I first arrived at Liusha, I spent most of my time thinking about how to get back quickly and train the troops. I could only write simple things, so I needed Ying Shiyu to write them.
After writing it down, Ying Shiyu and the others understood. They thanked them and took their leave to prepare their things so they could set off with the Great Zhou army.
"Father, Mother, let me tell you, this Ying Shiyu Ding was a wealthy merchant from Yunhai. When we conquered the first city of Yunhai, he surrendered directly and provided us with food and some inside information. He has a mansion in every city in Yunhai, and there are many treasures inside! He also gave me and my brother a lot!" With only the three of them left, Gu Xin reverted to her daughterly demeanor.
“Although he’s a businessman, he’s also a perceptive person who understands the situation!” Gu Shouxin thought for a moment and continued, “If you lose a battle, he’ll immediately turn back to Yunhai. So Xinxin, don’t trust strangers easily. You shouldn’t have the heart to harm others, but you must be wary of others.”
"Yes, I know, Father. I've suffered a great loss. I will definitely be more careful in the future. Even if it's an old woman or a young child, I will never be arrogant enough to think that they can't hurt me. From now on, your daughter will never worry you again!" Gu Xin solemnly promised.
Cai Xiaolian pulled her over and made her sit beside her, stroking the little braid she had given her: "Our Xinxin is a smart girl, and her parents are very relieved. But, with Xinxin's skillful hands at braiding little braids, will she also be able to style the hair buns of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Before Gu Xin could answer, Gu Shouxin said, "Xin Xin looks great with this hairstyle. Our daughter looks good with any hairstyle."
"Pfft!" Gu Xin laughed. "Dad, you've never praised me for being pretty. You've only praised my sister. When we were little, you complained that I was dark-skinned and that my hair was dry and yellow, and you even told me not to go out and embarrass you!"
Gu Shouxin: "..."
Cai Xiaolian said, "People say that a daughter's skin color and hair are inherited from her father. That means your father was also a skinny, dark-skinned boy with a brittle, straw-like hairstyle when he was young."
"Hahahaha..." Gu Xin laughed at the thought of that scene, and then said to Cai Xiaolian, "Mom, you used to say that my eyes were big and scary, and told me not to appear in front of you. You also said I was ugly."
Cai Xiaolian: "..."
Gu Shouxin glanced at Cai Xiaolian smugly. Come on, let's all get hurt together and take the blame for our respective original owners!
Gu Xin continued, "Dad, Mom, let me tell you something. Yuan Yuan said he dreamed about me, a very vivid dream. I was a pretty little girl, just like I am now. But I'm an orphan. My parents, older sister, grandparents, and uncles aren't here. I seriously suspect that in Yuan Yuan's dream, I was too ugly, so you threw me away!"
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian felt a pang of anxiety, but maintained a calm facade as they asked in unison, "What else did he say to you?"
Gu Xin didn't notice anything unusual about the two of them, and even felt a little guilty: "That's how it is. He was really harmed by his stepmother. He met me in Jiangnan, and because of him, I was implicated and suffered a lot. Actually, he didn't plan to tell me anything. He told me because I told him about the jade beads. He felt that he couldn't keep secrets from me, so he told me that he had dreamed about me, a very real dream."
