After Gu Xin and Gu Si finished dealing with Gu Nian's affairs, Lu Zheng was successfully assigned to the Royal Academy by the Emperor.
Originally, in the emperor's mind, Gu Shouxin and Lu Zheng were both there to educate his young crown prince. Now, it would be good to let the prospective father-in-law and son-in-law hone their tacit understanding first.
With Lu Zheng by his side, Gu Shouxin felt a little more relaxed and has been in a good mood lately.
Gu Xin invited Zheng Qiu to her home on March 19th, without inviting any of her other girlfriends. After all, Zheng Qiu was dressed as a man. She only told Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian, and not anyone else.
Although Zheng Qiu had no money, she still brought gifts when she visited.
Grandpa and Grandma Gu didn't think much about why Gu Xin brought a man to their door. Although he was a colleague from the government office, they left Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue with Gu Xin. With her younger brother Gu Ren there, and Gu Si and Xiao Mingyue, they figured no one would gossip.
Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue were happily playing with the older brothers and sisters at the Royal Academy, but because they were having so much fun, the older brothers and sisters were not happy.
Two days ago, the princesses and princes of the Western Lands and the Great Zhou jointly petitioned the emperor to open a royal children's academy for children under ten years old. They were worried that the sixth son of the Gu family and the goddess princess would be depressed by their older brothers and sisters.
The emperor knew exactly what these people were thinking, but seeing how distressed they were, he gave Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue a few days off.
Whether the Royal Children's Academy will remain open or not is another matter, but after a few days of vacation, Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue will still return to the Royal Academy.
"Brother Xiao Qiu, let's chat. I'm really interested in the work of a coroner!" Gu Ren was a natural at making friends. After hearing about Zheng Qiu's job, he grabbed Xiao Mingyue and pestered Zheng Qiu.
So Zheng Qiu spent the whole day at the Gu family's house telling them about the cases she had encountered before.
Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue were both chatterboxes. Gu Ren was alright, but Xiao Mingyue was a real kid who asked all sorts of strange questions. Fortunately, Zheng Qiu was skilled in her work and could answer them all.
For example, how to determine the time of death from livor mortis, why livor mortis develops after death, and what to do if the family members who value the deceased's burial do not allow an autopsy.
Zheng Qiu answered each question, and Gu Ren's gaze toward Zheng Qiu grew brighter and brighter.
After Zheng Qiu finished dinner and said goodbye, Gu Ren went to Gu Xin's room.
"What are you doing?" Gu Xin pinched Gu Ren's chubby cheeks, wondering why this child wasn't thinner. If he gets this fat, he might not be able to find a wife when he grows up!
"Third Sister!" Gu Ren hugged Gu Xin's arm and acted coquettishly. This call of "Third Sister" gave Gu Xin goosebumps.
"Get to the point, stop with these weird talk." Gu Xin gave him a push.
"Hehe, I knew Third Sister was the smartest among us siblings. She could tell I was up to something at a glance," Gu Ren said with a silly grin.
"Don't flatter me. You were born when I was flattering you," Gu Xin said with a sullen laugh.
"I'm telling the truth! I wasn't flattering you." Gu Ren shook his head, then said, "Third Sister, are you and Brother Xiao Qiu very close?"
"Isn't that obvious? I don't know her well, why would I bring her home?" Gu Xin said irritably, her eyes darting around as she stared at Gu Ren. "What are you thinking, kid? Are you planning to write a story about an autopsy? Want Xiao Qiu to provide you with material? Aren't you afraid?"
