This time, Uncle Gu and Madam Yang did not come along. When they set off, Madam Yang vomited as soon as she boarded the boat. After a doctor was called, it was discovered that Madam Yang was pregnant.
Grandpa and Grandma Gu originally wanted to wait until Madam Yang's pregnancy was more stable before coming, but Uncle Gu and Madam Yang told them to go first. Mainly, they had almost finished packing their things, and the business in Qingzhou had been arranged. Gu Nian and Gu Si had to go to the capital to develop their business.
The two elders were completely uneasy about leaving the two children with their unreliable uncle and aunt, so they could only tell Yang to stay home and rest during her pregnancy, and that they would come to pick her up after she gave birth.
In Sanchakou Village, there is a custom that pregnant women should not move house.
My third aunt also came along this time. My third aunt's husband became an official in the capital, and his child is already six months old, so it's impossible for him to leave his child in Qingzhou.
Third Aunt's mother didn't go with them. She wanted to stay in Qingzhou. She always felt that her in-laws' son was more capable than her own son. If she went to the capital, she would have to live at the mercy of her in-laws, and she didn't like that feeling!
Guo Yan didn't want to go to the capital either. He could be arrogant in Qingzhou Prefecture, but in the capital, who would give face to his elder brother, a mere Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations)?
It's different in Gyeongju; he can be even more domineering than before.
Guo Wan had a different idea; she wanted to go to the capital to find her husband!
Her brother was already an official in the capital, so she looked down on the young men from Qingzhou even more. Therefore, Guo Wan came along with her.
...
When I got home, it was past lunchtime, and the kitchen was preparing food.
Grandpa Gu and his entourage also brought maids, servants, and young men with them on their journey.
The yard had been tidied up long ago, just waiting for the owner to move in.
Cai Xiaolian arranged everything in an orderly manner. After lunch, the elderly couple went to rest.
The Gu family children had never been separated for so long before, and they all gathered in the small courtyard where the girls lived.
Gu En couldn't take it all in: "This place is so much bigger than the houses in our village! Wow! Eldest sister and third sister, you're already growing flowers! Hey, by the way, eldest sister, third sister just said she might be going to be with Brother Yuan, what does that mean?"
Gu Ren, held in Gu En's arms, silently looked around. It's all collapsed!
His male lead went to war early, so the Empress Dowager must have met Grandpa Gu more than ten years earlier than in her previous life!
Damn it, my money and grain were all used to make me the top scholar, but my second uncle managed to get me second place. Huo Junhao didn't even have to wait three years to become the top scholar; he directly became the third-place scholar in this year's examination.
Gu Ren didn't want to recall his own storyline anymore.
With abundant funds and provisions, the high-ranking officials he envisioned would ultimately pledge allegiance to Lu Zheng. The Minister of Revenue, with his plentiful wealth and resources, what was the result...?
Gu Hui did not answer Gu En's question immediately. After the siblings sat down in the house, Gu Hui began to talk about what happened between her and Gu Xin in the capital, with Gu Xin adding to the story.
Gu Hui spoke as if stating a fact, her tone completely flat, while Gu Xin's additions were much more interesting.
After the two sisters finished speaking, Gu Nian asked in surprise, "So, eldest sister, you're going to become a female general?"
Gu Hui: "I just want to go and see. I always feel that a person should do something in their life! Didn't you and Second Aunt say that a woman's existence is not just about being a wife and mother? Can you help me think of something? Is it possible to get the consent of the three elders in the family, and perhaps the consent of Grandpa and Grandma?"
