After returning home, Gu Xin exclaimed, "Grandpa and Grandma, how scary! Your granddaughter has been taken a liking to by a girl who wants to take her home to be his husband!"
The Gu family elders: "?"
Cai Xiaolian explained to the two elders with a smile.
Grandma Gu: "This Goddess Kingdom sounds like a really fun place!"
Grandpa Gu slowly turned his head: "...Lanlan..."
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Chuan, I want to go have fun, I'll definitely take you with me."
Gu Xin hugged Grandma Gu's arm: "Grandma, I want to go too!"
Gu Si also looked curious: "Grandma, I want to go too!"
Gu En turned and ran away. It was terrifying! Those girls in the Goddess Kingdom were so tall and strong. No matter how much gold they had, it was still frightening!
That evening, everyone in the Gu family knew what had happened during the day, and they couldn't stop laughing. Their Xin Xin looked so much like a girl, how could she be mistaken for a young master?
I guess it's because she's still young.
After dinner, the family gathered in the living room to watch Gu Shouxin cut the raw stone.
Gu Shouxin was very familiar with this skill. When he first entered the palace as a eunuch, he learned a technique from someone, and it was his skill in cutting raw stones that caught the emperor's eye. That's how he was remembered by the emperor, and that's how things happened later.
There were twenty rough stones in that pile, some large and some small.
The larger ones weigh dozens of kilograms, while the smaller ones are only about the size of a human head.
When everything was cut open, the Gu family was stunned.
Did Gu Xin and her mother exchange ten sets of refined outfits for this? And they even asked for a piece of jade from the other party?
Three complete pieces of jade were found among these twenty pieces.
One piece was emerald green, one piece was yellow, and one piece was brownish-red, all about the same size as the one they had gotten from the skinny old man.
Gu Shouxin completely believed what Gu Nian said about Xin Xin being a lucky charm.
He heard that the rough stones sold in the trading area were mostly just rocks, and it was impossible to find anything of good quality inside. The people in Jinnanguo, however, knew how to judge quality; there was even a gambling den where many people made their fortunes!
His daughter Xinxin went there, and three out of twenty people won the lottery. Isn't that incredibly lucky?
Including the jade stones obtained from the skinny old man, there were a total of four jade stones. Gu Shouxin said that one stone would be given to his parents, and one stone would be given to each of the four families. They would be responsible for how to use them.
Uncle Gu wasn't interested in this, but he didn't dare give it to Zhang Shi, so he handed it to Grandma Gu: "Mother, you can make bracelets for the two girls and jade pendants for Renren and Enzi."
Zhang: "And what about me?"
Uncle Gu gave Zhang a disdainful look: "Daughter-in-law, are you still arguing with the child? Or, I'll buy it for you after I start farming and earn money?"
Zhang went back to her room to sleep in a huff.
Grandma Gu glared at Uncle Gu speechlessly, feeling a pang of jealousy.
The jade pieces belonging to the first and fourth wives were all with Grandma Gu, so Cai Xiaolian simply gave her jade to Grandma Gu as well, letting Grandma Gu make unified arrangements for them.
This transaction was very successful, and the meat for the New Year has been prepared, including beef and mutton. Now all that's missing is pork.
Grandma Gu asked Uncle Gu to inquire if anyone was selling a pig. They wanted to buy two, as they had a large family and needed to make sausages and cured meat. One pig wouldn't last long.
Although we won't have to visit as many households here, we'll definitely have to send New Year's gifts to the Peng family. Grandma Gu has a pretty good impression of the Peng family, and she plans to send them some cured meat as well.
Uncle Gu went to inquire the next day. There were quite a few people who followed him in clearing the land, and some of them even raised pigs at home, so it wasn't difficult to buy.
