"Huh? Silly boy, you have such a heavy responsibility?" Gu Xin said in surprise.
“That’s right! Grandpa Peng always says he wants his son to snatch away the Huo family’s daughter. I’ve come to him of my own accord, so Grandpa Peng is not going to let this opportunity pass. Therefore, I have to take the initiative. Hey, sisters, tell me, which young man from the Peng family is suitable? Which one is not? I’ll take a look first and then make a decision!” Huo Yanyu said with a serious face.
"Silly girl, in the first six months of our acquaintance, I heard that Grandpa Huo was so angry with Grandpa Peng that he fell ill. Is it really okay for your two families to get married?" Gu Xin blinked and asked.
“Fine! It’s not like we’re making those two old men marry. My grandfather originally wanted my eldest cousin to marry Peng Erlang, but she didn’t want to marry someone so far away in Kuncheng, which made my grandfather so angry that he didn’t speak to her for months!” Huo Yanyu said.
The three Gu sisters: ...
Well, the two old men are probably just like children having a tiff. Once they've calmed down, they're back to being good friends.
...
To show her welcome to the Huo siblings, Gu Nian will personally cook tonight.
The three little girls also went along to help.
Gu Nian really likes Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu, so she's willing to cook a meal to make everyone happy.
Let alone Gu Nian, there's no one in the Gu family who doesn't like these siblings. Who doesn't like a sweet-talking, good-looking, and smart young man or woman?
The meal was ready, and Gu Hui and Princess Jinghe also returned.
Huo Yanyu brought back my most missed sister Huihui, which made Gu Hui laugh.
Although Princess Jinghe and Huo Yanyu didn't have much interaction, they did because of the Gu family.
Moreover, neither of them has an unpleasant personality, and they can have a lot to talk about.
That evening, the Gu family set up two tables and invited Qian Liangduo and Hu Liang.
Princess Jinghe became interested when she saw the large amount of money and grain: "Qian'er, it would have been so much better if you had come sooner! I've been eyeing you for so long!"
Her words startled the Gu family members and Qian Liangduo, causing them to stop what they were doing.
Princess Jinghe chuckled, "Oh dear, don't get the wrong idea, I haven't finished yet! I was saying I'm drooling over his painting skills! There was a painting at the beginning of the month that I can't forget! Alas, it's a pity Qian'er isn't here. Qian'er, you must continue to paint for me in the future!"
With abundant funds and provisions: "...This humble official is terrified, Your Highness..."
Princess Jinghe interrupted him: "What are you so afraid of? I didn't ask you to do anything immoral. Also, please call me Sister Zhen from now on."
With ample funds and provisions: "...This humble official dares not, moreover, this humble official is older than the princess."
Princess Jinghe: "...Let me tell you, this 'sister' doesn't mean 'older sister,' but rather, how should I put it..."
Princess Jinghe couldn't think of a good adjective for a moment.
Uncle Gu chimed in, "Oh dear, Jinghe, you're being a bit silly! Let me explain. It's very simple: whoever's stronger is the older sister! Qian'er, can you beat Jinghe? If you can't, then call her 'older sister.' There's no other way; might makes right! Strength represents status!"
Everyone in the room laughed.
Princess Jinghe laughed along, "Yes, yes, yes."
Qian Liangduo's ears turned red, and he wanted to call a girl younger than him "sister." He said, "Just kill him!"
Princess Jinghe didn't force him to call her that; her goal was to make Qianliang stop calling her princess.
Huo Junhao, who was with Qian Liangduo, gave him advice, telling him to call her Miss Ye from now on, and that he would make sure the princess wouldn't make him call her "sister" anymore.
With plenty of money and supplies, we can only give it a try.
