"My name is Gu Shouxin, it's an honor to meet Brother Ye!" Since he's so eager to make friends, he can't refuse!
After speaking, Gu Shouxin introduced his family members to the emperor one by one.
The emperor also introduced the two people beside him.
Xue Qianyu was the Empress's nephew, and according to ethics, she should call him uncle.
He also introduced Xue Xiaoer as his brother-in-law's son, but because he travels around doing business, this kid follows the rules and calls him "Master".
As for Eunuch Fu, that was his personal attendant, Afu.
After the introductions, the emperor also wanted to bring Xue Qianyu to join Gu Shouxin's table and drink with Gu Shouxin.
After everyone else finished eating, they went upstairs, leaving only Gu Shouxin and his son Gu Xin to drink with the emperor.
Worried that Gu Shouxin might get drunk, Gu Xin sat beside him with a jade bead, ready to give him one at any time.
And you know what? It actually worked.
By evening, it was already dark. The emperor and Xue Qianyu were drunk and passed out, while Gu Shouxin was still sitting sober.
"Brother Gu! You are a master of drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk! I will remember you!" These were the words the emperor said before he collapsed.
"Uncle Gu, I admire you!" These were the words Xue Qianyu said before kneeling down.
Watching the two being helped back to their room by the guards, Gu Shouxin smiled and led Gu Xin upstairs as well.
"Dad, Yuanyuan hasn't come back yet!" Gu Xin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry about him, he's a grown man, he won't get lost," Gu Shouxin said, patting Gu Xin's head.
"I wonder if Brother Yuanyuan has any money on him? What if he can't find us? It's still a bit cold at night this time of year. What if we get hungry and cold?" Gu Xin muttered to herself.
Gu Shouxin shook his head helplessly and said, "Then Dad will take you and Mom out for a stroll, and maybe we'll run into your brother Yuanyuan?"
"No!" Gu Xin shook her head, supporting Gu Shouxin. "Father, you've drunk so much. What if you get drunk when you go out?"
Gu Shouxin was overjoyed!
It seems the little girl wasn't fooled after all!
Her father still held a higher place in her heart than her brother Yuanyuan.
After thinking about it, he asked directly, "Xinxin, let me ask you, if one day Daddy and Brother Yuanyuan both disappear, should you go look for Daddy first or Brother Yuanyuan first?"
Gu Xin was taken aback, then frowned at Gu Shouxin: "Dad, you're really drunk! Let's go quickly, I'll go to the kitchen and borrow a pot from the uncle to make you some hangover soup."
Gu Shouxin stopped on the stairs: "No! You must answer this question!"
Gu Xin: "..."
Gu Shouxin then asked, "So, do you think your dad is better, or your brother Yuanyuan?"
Gu Xin: "Of course Dad is the best! Although Brother Yuanyuan is also very good, he will fight for us and give me good food, but he can't compare to Dad! He is the best person besides family."
Gu Shouxin smiled with satisfaction and was willing to continue walking.
Gu Xin helped him walk, saying, "Dad, you're really drunk. You need to talk less, or people will think you're stupid. Look at the question you just asked! You and Yuanyuan disappeared together? How is that possible? You're not children anymore, you won't be kidnapped by kidnappers, and you're not forgetting the way home. You even asked me who to look for first? I might have come out to look for you, but I got lost first, and then you'd be looking for me!"
Gu Xin sighed: "After all, I've already declared that I want to be the prettiest and cutest girl in the village. This is something that the flower sellers are really looking forward to."
