When Grandma Gu said this, Uncle Gu looked at her with suspicion. He said, "Dad, Mom, are you getting senile? What kind of person is Zhang Shi? How can you believe her!"
Then Uncle Gu was beaten, really beaten, and even Grandpa Gu didn't help him.
Overjoyed, Zhang cried tears of joy, holding Grandma Gu's hand and saying, "You are my own mother. I will definitely study hard and you must teach me more in the future." Her tears and snot flowed all over Grandma Gu's hand.
That day, Grandma Gu was speechless again because of the eldest son's family. She didn't give any of them a kind look for three days.
Cai Xiaolian and Yang Shi, the second and fourth daughters-in-law, had no objections to this arrangement. They were more than happy to accept it, as they needed to do business outside to earn money. They were very satisfied that their eldest sister-in-law was managing the household.
Cai Xiaolian had her own plans, but she was busy with Gu Nian's wedding recently. After Gu Nian's wedding was over, the New Year was just around the corner. She patiently helped Zhang Shi handle various matters, and it could be said that she taught her step by step.
The current Zhang is not the same as before; she is not worried at all about the second and fourth wives taking anything from their eldest son's family.
She earns so much money, her husband has a job, and her daughter is married well. What can you take from her?
Therefore, she humbly sought to learn from Cai Xiaolian, because she knew that after the New Year, her sister-in-law, who was as close as a sister to her, would be going to make money.
Although she also wanted to make money, she was now very self-aware that she wasn't cut out for it. When her younger siblings started making money, she would just contribute some capital and help them earn money.
She took Cai Xiaolian's hand and said to her very sincerely, "Sister-in-law, I will definitely take good care of the house. You can focus on making money outside. I will give you all our belongings. You must make sure to make money work for you!"
Her sincere expression left Cai Xiaolian both amused and exasperated.
...
Time flies, and soon it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Cheng Huaijin also returned from the Royal Academy, accompanied by Helian Yi and the siblings Shalin, who all planned to spend the New Year at the Gu family home.
The Gu family naturally accepted it; Helian Yi and the Shalin siblings had shown their Xin Xin boundless goodwill.
After the Royal Academy was built, all the princes and princesses of the West enrolled, including those sons the emperor had mentioned who were of school age but could not inherit their titles and did not study properly.
Of course, there were also legitimate daughters from various families who were interested in this.
Helian Yi was a very cheerful person. When he arrived at the Gu family, he was not polite at all and quickly became familiar with everyone, starting to tell them gossip.
The biggest gossip ever is that the Ninth Prince and the princess of the southern tribe have fallen for each other.
Princess Nashanan even went to the palace to ask the Empress to send her a skilled nanny who was good at dressing up. She wanted to dress up nicely and amaze everyone at tomorrow's banquet, and also please her future in-laws.
The Gu family was also somewhat surprised; they had become a couple so quickly?
Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Gu Shouxin knew that the Emperor sent these princes and princesses to the Royal Academy to select princesses and consorts. And yet, in such a short time, they've all become a couple!
Helian Yi thought they didn't believe him, so he even pulled Cheng Huaijin to be his witness.
Cheng Huaijin naturally understood, but he neither confirmed nor denied it. Princess Shanan did indeed do such a thing, and the Empress not only rewarded her with a skilled maid but also with clothes and jewelry.
