"Let's talk about it after you finish the exam!" Gu Xin glanced at Gu En and said.
Her father was grooming Gu En to be the heir of the main branch of the family. The title of Gu family would definitely belong to Gu En in the future, even though there were two younger brothers in the main branch. They were still young and someone had to support them.
He wants to travel around like the Crown Prince of Kimnam, but that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.
...
The group arrived in the capital at 3 PM. Gu Xin jumped off the carriage in front of the city gate and stretched.
"Wow! It's all finished in just one month. The Ministry of Works is really fast." Gu Xin exclaimed as she looked at the newly built city gate.
The capital city is being expanded, extending outwards from the east, west, and south. The city gates have also been rebuilt using materials developed by Gu Nian, making them much stronger and more solid than before, even more so than the city gates in Kunzhou.
"This humble servant, Xie Yuan, the city guard of the capital, greets Princess Xin Xin, General Lu, and Young Master Gu!" The city guard leader recognized Gu Xin and immediately led his men forward to greet her.
"No need for such formalities, Lord Xie. We're just back from running errands!" Gu Xin waved her hand.
"Would the princess and the general like to take a short rest?" Xie Yuan asked again.
Gu Xin handled the cases of the Donglin Prince's Mansion and Qiyun Temple in Taizhou, and the news has already reached the capital. There are few people in the capital who don't know about this now.
"No need, no need, Lord Xie, you can go about your business. I'll be heading back soon. It's been a month since I've been home." Gu Xin looked at the crowd looking over, feeling a bit of a headache, and quickly got into the car.
Xie Yuan retreated and respectfully watched their carriage return to the city.
"It feels like there are more people guarding the city," Gu Xin said.
"The people guarding the city? Hehe, is Third Miss referring to my people?" Fatty Wang asked with a laugh.
"Oh, I almost forgot your name is Shoucheng. So, Fatty Wang, when you get back, come to my house and let Bai Er and the others give you some training. When you get rid of the name Fatty Wang, you'll be the real Shoucheng!" Gu Xin laughed.
"..." Fatty Wang felt a pang of sadness. "I will definitely try my best!"
Everyone in the car laughed.
The commercial street was built near the south gate of the capital, while they were coming from the east gate, so Gu Xin wouldn't be able to see Cai Xiaolian first.
The carriages split up on the Eighth Street of the capital. Zheng Qiu followed Officer Gao and his men, while Gu Xin and the others hurried home.
Wang Pangzi's family's house in Beijing was only one street away from the Gu family's house, so they took Wang Pangzi home on the way.
"Wow! I'm finally back!" Gu Xin arrived at her doorstep and looked at the familiar front door, a strange emotion welling up inside her.
"Third Sister!" Before she could finish her sentence, two chubby little boys came running over.
Just by listening to their voices, you can tell it's Gu Ren and Dugu Mingyue.
Before, Dugu Mingyue only had a chubby face, but now she looks a bit rounder. When she and Gu Ren ran over, they looked like two chubby little babies.
The two little ones ran over and pounced on Gu Xin. Luckily, she had some training, otherwise, she would definitely have been knocked over by the two of them.
"You two have gotten so fat again! Come on, let your third sister pinch your cheeks!" Gu Xin lined them up and then pinched one cheek in each hand.
Gu Ren and Dugu Mingyue both looked up at Gu Xin and grinned foolishly.
"How silly!" Gu Xin was amused by their expressions.
"I only saw Third Sister, but not Fourth Brother?" Gu En stepped forward, looking unhappy.
