The younger generation already knew these things, so Grandpa and Grandma Gu didn't wait for the children to come back from playing before telling them.
There's not much to say about the Huo family's marriage proposal; it was all done according to normal procedures.
But there's a lot to say about the Duke of Zhenguo.
Gu Yingxue then began to tell Gu Si, Gu En, and Gu Ren the story.
On the other side of the capital, Gu Xin met Lu Zheng with her maid. From afar, she saw Lu Zheng smiling at her with his hands behind his back.
Gu Xin jogged over and went directly behind Lu Zheng.
"My little darling, there are plenty of people here! I'll show you, don't jump!" Lu Zheng grabbed Gu Xin, who was about to be bumped into, to protect her.
"Hehe, who told you to be so mysterious and hide it behind your back?" Gu Xin laughed, then looked at what Lu Zheng was holding and immediately exclaimed, "Wow, what a beautiful kitten! Its eyes are even blue!"
“Yes! I asked someone in the west to find it, and it was only delivered to my home on the fifth day of the new year. I knew you would like it.” Lu Zheng handed the cage to Gu Xin and then said, “Xin Xin, happy birthday! Happy eighteenth birthday!”
In her past life, Lu Zheng found Gu Xin a white dog, pure white with curly fur, which Gu Xin loved very much.
He remembered Gu Xin telling him that she had dreamed of playing with a puppy in the yard, so he had no intention of giving the dog away.
Master Liaowu said that Xinxin would no longer dream about those things. Although he believed Master Liaowu, he couldn't guarantee that giving Xinxin an identical dog would cause her to dream about those scenes. So, he changed the gift to a beautiful white kitten.
In his past life, he gave the puppy to Gu Xin on her twentieth birthday. In this life, he gave it to her earlier, so Xin Xin definitely won't dream about those things anymore.
"Thank you, Brother Yuanyuan." Gu Xin took the cage, carrying it in one hand and taking something out of her purse with the other, then handed it to Lu Zheng. "Brother Yuanyuan, this is for you. I learned how to carve this private seal for you from my fourth uncle. Look, there are even flowers on it!"
"Thank you, Xinxin!" Lu Zheng accepted the private seal. This was a gift he had never received in his previous life, and it felt incredibly real in his hand. He even took a closer look at the seal by the light from a nearby stall. Hmm, this private seal was much more beautifully carved than the embroidered handkerchief.
It's not that Gu Xin's skills are bad. In his previous life, Lu Zheng received all sorts of needlework from Gu Xin, and her embroidery skills were no worse than those of an ordinary embroiderer.
In her previous life, Gu Xin had learned everything that most girls could do.
However, Gu Xin in this life is different. She didn't learn cooking or needlework, but she knows everything else.
Lu Zheng sometimes wondered if Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu, and Gu Nian knew what had happened in their past life, which was why they didn't want Xin Xin to learn so much. They made Xin Xin learn martial arts so she could protect herself.
Actually, it was exactly the same as his initial idea.
Lu Zheng was absolutely right. The trio of time travelers never expected Gu Xin to learn all the skills in the book. Gu Shouxin focused on teaching Gu Xin martial arts, reading, and calligraphy, while Cai Xiaolian taught her arithmetic and painting. As for Gu Nian, her teaching was more varied, whatever came to mind.
They only taught Gu Xin things like playing the zither and chess because she was willing to learn them. Aside from what they wanted to teach, they wouldn't ask about anything else unless Gu Xin brought it up.
As a result, Gu Xin still hasn't learned how to cook. She only knows how to cook all the vegetables in one pot and add some salt.
