Uncle Gu was suddenly brought to his senses by Gu Hui's question. Yes, how could that old man have agreed to it?
He is usually very clean and his clothes are rarely wrinkled, so how could he possibly go down to the ground with him?
Uncle Gu turned to look at Gu Xin.
Gu Xin pursed her lips, touched her chin, and pondered for a while: "Uncle, I have a way. Lower your head a little, and I'll tell you quietly."
Gu Hui: "..."
Xin Xin really enjoys playing with her dad! Oh well, he's Xin Xin's future father-in-law. If she's helping her maternal uncle bully her in-laws, what can outsiders do about it?
To be honest, Gu Hui was actually quite curious to see what the Duke of Zhenguo, whom all the noble ladies praised, was like on the ground!
Gu Xin had already finished explaining to her uncle, who thought it was perfectly acceptable and then whispered to Gu Xin in a low voice.
The uncle and nephew seemed to be discussing something important.
...
After Prince Kang and his entourage left, the Lantern Festival arrived. On the very day they left, all the major shops in the capital had already opened, preparing for the upcoming Lantern Festival. Each shop had prepared lanterns to varying degrees.
After seeing Princess Jinghe and the others off, Gu Xin went home and started making lanterns.
She hadn't played this game for two or three years, but she was still quite interested.
Soon, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
This day was Gu Xin and Lu Zheng's birthday.
This year, Lu Zheng is twenty-two, and Gu Xin is seventeen.
In the morning, when the Gu family members had breakfast together, they all took out their birthday gifts for Gu Xin, three items each, making up for the previous two years' gifts.
Gu Xin smiled so hard her eyes narrowed into slits.
Grandpa Gu gave her the three best potted plants he grew, so that Gu Xin could keep them herself and take them with her when she got married.
Gu Ren explained to Gu Xin that if these three pots of flowers were sold, they could buy a house in the capital.
Upon hearing this, Gu Xin quickly instructed the maid to move the child to the courtyard and take good care of her, so that she could bring the child along when she got married.
Grandma Gu was very practical and gave Gu Xin three sets of jewelry. These were given to Grandma Gu by the Empress Dowager as her dowry. Grandma Gu had already given two sets to Gu San Gu, Gu Hui, Gu Nian, and Gu Si, but there were still quite a few left. After giving them to Gu Xin, she planned to distribute the rest among her daughters-in-law.
What her mother-in-law gave her, she passed on to her daughters-in-law, and also gave some to her granddaughters.
Then Uncle Gu gave Gu Xin three trees, saying that they had been transplanted into Gu Xin's yard so that she could eat fruit right there in her own yard.
The gift Zhang gave to Gu Xin was a bracelet, suitable for a young girl. It was a birthday present that Zhang bought for Gu Xin while preparing Gu Si's dowry.
Zhang regretted that she didn't have much money when Gu Hui got married, so she made up for it by preparing a lot of jewelry for Gu Si, who is not even engaged yet, as her future dowry.
Then there was Gu Shouxin, who gave Gu Xin several books, which were rare and unique copies on the market. He gave them to Gu Xin and kept copies for himself.
Gu Xin really liked it. She didn't actually have any particular hobbies; she liked everything and could master anything if she wanted to, but she never had the time. But reading was a hobby she developed after the three transmigrators arrived.
Therefore, she really liked Gu Shouxin's gift and asked her maid to put it away for her.
