Because Lu Xue was there, Cai Xiaolian didn't scold the two children, but only asked them about their trip to Beijing and how their grandparents were doing.
Gu Xin took a letter out of her pocket: "Hehe, Dad, Mom, I was originally planning to write back to you. But Yuan Yuan said he was leaving, so I came along and brought the letter with me. It contains messages from Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, and Fourth Uncle!"
Cai Xiaolian took a look and at first it seemed normal, but as she read on, she couldn't help but glance at Gu Shouxin.
Gu Shouxin: "?"
Gu Xin explained, "Dad, your eldest brother specifically told you to be careful of the old man when you're looking at the list. Dad, you're good-looking, be careful he doesn't snatch you up to be his son-in-law. Oh, Auntie also told Uncle the same thing."
Lu Xue laughed from the side, "Xin Xin, Uncle Gu and Third Aunt are wrong to say that a son-in-law can be chosen from among the successful candidates in the imperial examinations."
Gu Xin was taken aback: "So, does that mean the girls will personally take part in it?"
Lu Zheng laughed even harder: "The girls won't be participating themselves, but their brothers will."
After speaking, he looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was playing with his little niece when he heard this and said, "Well, six years ago, I found myself a brother-in-law. He's pretty good."
"Wow! They can even help find a brother-in-law!" Gu Xin looked at Gu Hui. "Then can I go and find one for Sister Hui when the results are released?"
"Hahahaha..." Everyone in the room laughed.
Gu Hui twitched her lips and glared at Gu Xin.
A little while later, my third aunt's husband also arrived.
After greeting everyone, Lu Zheng took Lu Xue to his room.
The siblings hadn't seen each other for many years. Although they had corresponded before Lu Zheng faked his death, they hadn't actually seen him, and Lu Xue was extremely worried.
She had considered visiting Lu Zheng, but she got pregnant after getting married, and just when the child was old enough to be taken out, she got pregnant again.
Her husband lost both his parents at a young age, and there was no one to help take care of the children, so she couldn't leave her husband's side.
The siblings sat down, facing each other in silence.
After a while, Lu Xue finally asked, "How many days can I stay?"
Lu Zheng: "Seven days at most. It will take at least a month to get to Kuncheng with the seeds. The potatoes were planted at the end of October last year and the year before, so we'll try to get them there by October."
Lu Xue was silent for a moment: "Then what are your plans regarding the Lu family?"
Lu Zheng said, "Just do what needs to be done. Sister, just focus on raising the child, don't worry about the Lu family's affairs."
Lu Xue glared at Lu Zheng: "So in your heart, your sister is just a wife and mother? I've learned a lot from Aunt Lian in the past month! Aunt Lian is right, we women should have our own things to do, and we can't devote all our hearts to our husbands and children. We should live for ourselves."
Lu Zheng smirked. Aunt Lian was really good at brainwashing. She had convinced all the girls and wives in the Gu family, including that eldest aunt who was eager to benefit from her son's fame.
...
That night, Gu Xin lay in bed, watching the oil lamp flicker in the breeze, and looking at the red lanterns hanging in the corridor outside the window. She felt a little lost.
Have we arrived in the capital already?
Two years ago, her only wish was for her parents to live in harmony and for her sister to smile at her more often.
I never imagined that my father would be so good at studying and martial arts, and that my sister and mother would be so good at making money and so gentle with me.
She always had a feeling of unreality, as if she were dreaming.
