Uncle Gu helped the second wife's family finish tilling the land before going back. Before leaving, he reminded the two sisters, "Remember what I just said! When looking for a partner, good looks are fine, and so is ability. But someone who is good-looking, capable, and from a better family than you is not a good match!"
The two sisters nodded: "Yes!"
"Good girl!" Uncle Gu patted their heads. "Two is better, no problem going from left to right or right to left. If I asked the fourth girl to stand up, regardless of height, I wouldn't even know where to start with my hands! Let's go!"
Gu Nian: Uncle, do you have OCD?
Not long after Uncle Gu left, Gu Shouxin returned from outside the door.
"I went through with your grandfather, but I still got a good scolding. Your grandfather will come over in a bit to plant it in the pot himself," Gu Shouxin said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Having that kind of cheat code at home makes me a little hesitant when it comes to getting things done!
Especially after he began to regard his parents more and more as his own father and mother.
He now understands why his daughter, Xiaoxin, used to throw jade beads into the well to feed the hens.
"Hehe, Dad, Uncle just said that you didn't wait for him, as if you deliberately left him behind!" Gu Xin laughed.
"I've discovered another good point about your uncle; he's very self-aware!" Gu Shouxin said speechlessly.
Once the flowerpot was found, Grandpa Gu came over.
The sack contained twenty-two lotus-petal orchids. Grandpa Gu handled them like treasures, and his careful manner made the Gu family wonder if they had been too rough when digging up these orchids yesterday.
"Two hundred taels, four hundred taels, six hundred taels, ..., four thousand four hundred taels! Wow, there are four thousand four hundred taels in our yard! Grandpa, that's a lot of money!" Gu Xin counted them one basin at a time, her big eyes sparkling.
The Time Travel Trio: Their acting classes are really good. Look at this girl, she's learning so fast!
"We can't sell them all. Xinxin, you should grow a couple of pots for yourself. Growing flowers can cultivate your mind and character!" Grandpa Gu said with a smile.
“Okay, Grandpa! I’ll raise more from now on!” Gu Xin nodded obediently.
"By the way, when are you planning to go to the prefectural city? Do you want me to come with you?" Grandpa Gu asked the couple.
“Great! How about we go tomorrow? I stargazed last night, and the weather should be good for the next few days,” Gu Shouxin said.
"You've even learned to observe the stars? Have you picked up that hobby of reading miscellaneous books you used to enjoy when you were in school? Well, that's good, reading more miscellaneous books will make you more knowledgeable." Grandpa Gu assumed that Gu Shouxin had been reading miscellaneous books.
He didn't know that before becoming the Ninth Prince, he spent a lot of time as a junior eunuch at the Imperial Observatory, where he learned a great deal about constellations.
“Okay, Father. I’ll go to town and rent a horse-drawn carriage later! It’s a waste of time to travel such a long distance in an oxcart, and it won’t be comfortable for you to sit in it all the time,” Gu Shouxin said.
"No need for that. Have your mother tell your Aunt Xiao later. They have a carriage. However, your Aunt Xiao loves to join in the fun, so she might come with us," Grandpa Gu said.
He now feels that the second wife's family has many expenses. He does have valuable things, but he doesn't dare to easily sell them to his son, so he has to be frugal.
“That works too! We were planning to buy a donkey cart this month, so let’s go to the prefectural city tomorrow to buy one. That way, it won’t be so crowded on the way back,” Gu Shouxin nodded and said.
