Not far from the city gate, Li Muyan saw a caravan ahead, and Gu Xin's carriage stopped in front of it.
His heart suddenly raced as a possibility occurred to him.
Last night, he overheard Xie and Li Shan talking about the palace banquet. He didn't ask, but based on the information he had heard recently, he concluded that only Gu Hui and Gu Xin had come to the capital, and the others had not yet arrived.
Uncle Gu will be the top scholar in the imperial examination; I'm sure his whole family will come!
Li Muyan chuckled self-deprecatingly, stopped his horse, and looked at the convoy ahead.
Gu Xin jumped off the carriage like a little butterfly and ran to one of the carriages.
The carriage curtain opened, and he saw the face he had longed for but dared not show.
Gu Nian is smiling so happily, she must have already forgotten about him!
Yes, we should forget him. Why bother remembering him?
In the eyes of the Rongguo Duke's family, the daughter of the top scholar was not good enough for their heir, haha...
A gust of cold wind blew by, waking Li Muyan.
He glanced again at the carriage whose curtains were already drawn, turned his horse around, and rode away to the side, galloping wildly. He didn't know where he was going; perhaps a little more wind would clear his head.
Inside the carriage, Gu Nianxin opened the window and glanced outside, but saw nothing. Gu Xin grabbed her arm and said, "Sister, you haven't seen me for over a month. Don't you miss me?"
Gu Nian pinched Gu Xin's cheeks with both hands: "What's there to think about! I have so much more peace and quiet without you, you chatterbox!"
Gu Xin slapped her hand away: "But I miss my sister so much!"
She had barely finished speaking when Gu Ren grabbed her arm, saying, "Xin Xin, I miss you, I miss you!"
Gu Xin looked down at her increasingly chubby little cousin: "Renren, you seem to have gotten even rounder! Rolling around like that, can you even walk? From now on, you shouldn't be called Renren, you should be called Gungun! Also, you have to call me 'Sister'!"
Gu Ren hugged Gu Xin's arm: "Xin Xin, hehe..."
Gu Nian glanced at Gu Ren speechlessly.
Over the past month, the two have talked a lot, and she has completely let go of her aunt-nephew relationship with Gu Ren from her previous life and treated him like a brother.
Gu Ren said that Gu Nian was not born to his parents at all, but was the granddaughter of his grandfather's comrade-in-arms, who was entrusted to his grandfather. However, his grandfather fell ill and had no choice but to hand Gu Nian over to his father.
At the time, her father was still a student and couldn't treat Gu Nian as a daughter, only as a younger sister, which is why things turned out this way later.
Therefore, it's perfectly fine for the two of them to be siblings in this life.
The siblings were still thinking about finding Gu Sanniu!
They analyzed that Gu Sanniu was very likely to have traveled through time. That girl had read a lot of time-travel novels, and she had gotten into trouble with Gu Ren, so they had been paying close attention to strange children recently, but unfortunately, they hadn't found any.
After picking up the person, the carriage went directly back to the Gu residence.
Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu rode in the same carriage. After entering the city gate, he disregarded the cold weather and lifted the carriage curtain to look at the street outside.
"Brother Chuan, it's chilly! Let's go home and rest for a bit, then I'll come out for a stroll with you!" Grandma Gu advised.
"Actually, I've only visited the capital twice, and I didn't even see everything. Each time, I just passed by during a procession," Grandpa Gu said with a sigh.
"I'll go shopping with you as many times as you want in the future," Grandma Gu said, holding Grandpa Gu's hand.
"Lanlan..." Grandpa Gu looked at Grandma Gu with deep affection.
Grandma Gu responded with a gentle smile.
Their hands were clasped tightly together, as if nothing could separate them.
