"If I were a fairy, would I be able to comb your hair? Wouldn't you be a great deity in the Heavenly Palace?" Gu Nian couldn't help but ask.
"Of course not! I must have done a lot of good deeds in my past life to earn this opportunity to have a fairy sister comb my hair!" Cheng Huaijin said seriously.
"You're so glib! You're so young and you're already learning bad habits. I'll tell your mother if you don't!" Gu Nian finished tying Cheng Huaijin's hairband and then tapped him on the head.
“I didn’t say anything wrong. I’m telling the truth. Sister Niannian is as beautiful as a fairy and knows as much as a fairy!” Cheng Huaijin said.
"You talk like you've seen a fairy!" Gu Nian said as she put away the comb.
“Yes! I’ve only met her once, it was Sister Niannian!” Cheng Huaijin said with certainty.
“I also think Brother Jin is right. In my heart, Sister is a fairy!” Gu Xin chimed in.
"You two little devils, your fairy sister is going to the kitchen to eat human food! The real fairy doesn't eat human food! Hurry up and come in to help!" Gu Nian ordered the two children.
...
In the afternoon, both of Cheng's children played at Gu's house. They were both well-behaved; one clung to Gu Nian, wanting to help her, while the other quietly pulled Gu Xin along.
Cheng Rui came over after the workers who were building the new house finished their work.
Knowing that he was coming to pick up his younger siblings, Gu Shouxin asked Gu Nian to prepare two more dishes.
Cheng Rui didn't come either, so he picked them up and they had dinner here.
After chatting with Gu Shouxin about some exam-related issues, I got up to say goodbye as it was getting late.
"Sister Niannian, I'll come and do things for you often from now on!" Cheng Huaijin was so reluctant to part with her!
Cheng Huaiyu couldn't speak, but she blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Xin with reluctance.
"Alright, our home isn't far from here. You two little ones are making it sound like a life-or-death separation. What's going on?" Cheng Rui looked at his two younger siblings with annoyance.
Both children looked at Cheng Rui without hiding their gaze.
Cheng Rui: "..."
It's normal for Xiao Jin to glare at him, but it's really strange that Xiao Yu has learned to glare at people!
"Second Uncle Gu, Aunt Lian!" At this moment, Lu Zheng suddenly appeared carrying an oil lamp.
The three Cheng siblings looked at Lu Zheng.
"Eh? Young Master Cheng?" Lu Zheng recognized Cheng Rui.
"Do I know you?" Cheng Rui asked, taken aback.
“Young Master Cheng certainly doesn’t recognize me, but I do recognize the magistrate’s son,” Lu Zheng said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Cheng Rui nodded and said nothing more.
"Xiao Rui, Xiao Jin, Xiao Yu, you should go back first! Your aunt is going to the county tomorrow and will bring Xin Xin over to play!" Gu Shouxin said.
"Then I'll take my leave!" Cheng Rui cupped his hands in farewell.
"Goodbye, Uncle Gu and Aunt Lian! Sister Niannian, you must come tomorrow! Goodbye, Xinxin!" Cheng Huaijin waved.
Cheng Huaiyu also waved to Gu Xin.
"Xiaoyu, I will definitely come to see you with my mother tomorrow!" Gu Xin smiled and waved to Cheng Huaiyu.
Then the family watched the three siblings get into the carriage, and only after the carriage drove away did they look at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was thinking about Cheng Rui. There was such a person as Cheng Rui in his previous life, but he had no connection with the Gu family at all. This Cheng Rui married Princess Chengyu, the only daughter of Prince Rong, and later rose rapidly in his career with the help of Prince Rong. In his previous life, he didn't have much interaction with Cheng Rui. When Cheng Rui married Princess Chengyu, he was already planning his own scheme and didn't pay much attention to the outside world.
