“Then I’ll go back and ask Niannian to teach me. I promise I won’t let Xinxin eat wild fruits to fill her stomach next time,” Lu Zheng said.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! Quickly spit it out with me, there will definitely be no next time!" Gu Xin quickly spat a few times.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Lu Zheng mimicked Gu Xin's actions and then burst into laughter.
Gu Xin laughed along with him.
"Brother Yuanyuan, after Uncle Qingyuan came and reunited with Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma said they would take me to Fuzhou! Mom and my sister started telling me what fun things there were to do at the beach. But I went off to play by myself first. However, without them leading the way, I don't know how to play at all!" After laughing, Gu Xin looked at the boundless sea and sighed.
"It's alright, there will be other opportunities in the future," Lu Zheng comforted him. "When we go back this time, Second Uncle will definitely be promoted, and the Emperor will certainly not let him stay in Kunzhou anymore. By then, Niannian and Xue Er's marriage will also be settled. After they get married, we'll invite them to go to the beach in Fuzhou together. Xue Er and Niannian have been busy for a year, the Emperor will definitely give them a vacation. When that time comes, let's invite our eldest sister and brother-in-law, and Princess Jinghe and the others, and we'll have a lively and fun time together!"
"Yes, and Sisi, and Yiyi, and Xue'er!" Gu Xin was already imagining the scene.
In Kuncheng, they often played together, and they all got along very well, unlike the awkwardness that often exists between girlfriends.
“Well, once you’ve had your fun, we’ll get married! After we’re married, I’ll take you everywhere. We’ll travel to every corner of the Great Zhou and eat all the local delicacies.” Lu Zheng replied.
"Hehe, Second Young Master Lu, don't think you can fool me just because I'm young. Marriage isn't something you or I can decide on your own. You have to formally propose to my family. Don't try to trick me!" Gu Xin said arrogantly, raising her chin.
"Oh! Miss Gu has become a clever little devil now, not easy to fool!" Lu Zheng said regretfully.
"Hmph! Then let me tell you another hurdle you'll have to overcome on your path to marriage!" Gu Xin suddenly remembered her grandfather's background and said.
"Oh? Besides your grandparents, second uncle, and second aunt, what other obstacles are there?" Lu Zheng knew what Gu Xin wanted to say, but he was very cooperative.
Xue Qianyu guessed Grandpa Gu's identity because he had personally witnessed the Empress Dowager seeing someone off outside the capital. Lu Zheng was unaware of this. Moreover, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress had come to Kuncheng under the guise of relaxing and observing the development of Kunzhou; no one else knew the truth.
Lu Zheng once talked to Xue Qianyu about how the Empress Dowager seemed to have a special connection with the Gu family, and he guessed it from Xue Qianyu's expression.
In his previous life, he heard Empress Dowager Jiang mention that the Empress Dowager had twins, one of whom was lost and unknown to almost no one except the direct descendants of the royal family.
So, he guessed it himself.
“Brother Yuanyuan, I’ve already told you the biggest secret about the jade beads. Now that you say you want to marry me, I’ll tell you this: besides my family, you have to satisfy my great-grandmother. My great-grandmother is the Empress Dowager, she’s my grandfather’s mother. Hehe, my great-grandmother is very kind, but her standards are very high! If she doesn’t agree, it won’t matter if my grandparents or parents agree.” Gu Xin said.
