In the past, Gu Shouxin had used all the money from the second branch of the Gu family to drink and gamble, so they rarely ate meat. Even if they did, it was never for Gu Xin. Gu Xin could only eat meat at the old house, but no one there would let her cook, as she was only a few years old at the time.
Therefore, even now, Gu Xin still can't cook meat dishes.
As for the female workers, that goes without saying. Ever since the three time travelers arrived, Cai Xiaolian has been doing all the sewing and mending at home. They started earning money not long after they arrived, and then Cai Xiaolian didn't have to do that work anymore.
As a result, no one taught Gu Xin needlework. A few years ago, Gu Xin gave Lu Zheng a purse and a handkerchief in Kunzhou. Anyway, no one could recognize what she embroidered.
In short, Gu Xin had no interest in either of those things.
The two carried the kitten and walked through the crowd, guessing riddles at one stall and another, and soon they had collected several lanterns.
With the cat cage in hand, Lu Zheng's servants and Gu Xin's maids were almost out of options.
"Xinxin, let's let them carry these back, and then we can wander around a bit, okay? There are more and more people, and it'll probably get crowded soon," Lu Zheng suggested.
“Okay! But Yuan Yuan, do you know how to feed this cat?” Gu Xin asked.
“Sifu knows, let him teach Qiuyu. The lantern festival is not safe, and Sifu can also safely escort Qiuyu back to the manor.” Lu Zheng pointed to his servant.
This Sifu was a servant chosen for him by the Lu family steward. He basically never went out with him, and he rarely took anyone with him. He only brought him along today for this very purpose.
Qiu Yu is Gu Xin's head maid, and today it's her turn to accompany Gu Xin out.
After Gu Xin returned to the capital, her family also assigned her maids, a total of eight: four senior maids for spring, summer, autumn and winter, and four junior maids who were responsible for chores such as cleaning, serving tea and water in her room.
Chunfeng was in charge of managing Gu Xin's belongings, Xiayang was in charge of dressing Gu Xin up, and Qiuyu and Dongxue were in charge of accompanying Gu Xin when she went out. After nearly a month of this, Gu Xin had gotten used to having maids.
Gu Xin naturally agreed with Lu Zheng's suggestion.
She actually enjoyed playing with Lu Zheng on her own. It was fine to bring a maid along at other times, but when she was with Lu Zheng, she felt she would often forget that she had brought a maid with her.
Lu Zheng gave Si Fu a few instructions, and then Si Fu and Qiu Yu went back to the Gu Mansion together.
Next, it was just the two of them. Lu Zheng naturally took Gu Xin's hand, and Gu Xin didn't think anything of it.
The two strolled hand in hand with the crowd, just like any ordinary young couple.
"Third sister, third sister, we're over here." Gu Xin heard Gu Ren's voice after walking around for only a short while.
“Brother Yuanyuan, it’s Renren and Sister Sisi over there, let’s go over!” Gu Xin looked around and then saw Gu Ren riding on Gu En’s shoulders, just like any other three or four-year-old child, and was speechless.
Gu Ren is already seven years old, a chubby little bundle of joy. Enzi really spoils his younger brother without any limits.
Looking at the few single girls in the Gu family, Lu Zheng really wanted to pull Gu Xin away and rescue her.
Back in Beijing, finally a chance to spend time alone together, but these brats, how come they don't know how to handle things at all?
But Gu Xin pulled him in that direction, and he saw the people. There was no reason for him to turn back while still holding Gu Xin's hand. Sigh...
