The two Gu sisters fell asleep shortly after lying down, but Lu Zheng couldn't sleep.
He took her to the lantern festival every year for the past five years, except for the three years he was on the battlefield. He didn't take her there. He didn't know which one Xinxin dreamed about.
I've carried her up the stairs many times.
The first time was halfway up the mountain. The two were playing around when Xin Xin twisted her ankle, and he carried her up the mountain on his back.
Later on, Xin Xin would complain of foot pain every time she walked halfway and ask him to carry her.
What else could he do? He had no choice but to memorize it!
After he had her in his heart, he wanted to present her with all the beauty in the world. What was carrying her up the stairs compared to that?
If there were a way to pluck the moon from the sky, he would want to carry her on his back and personally pluck the moon down to give to her!
Lu Zheng really didn't expect that Gu Xin could dream about her past life, even though he couldn't see what she looked like in the dream.
But he didn't want Gu Xin to dream about everything from her past life, especially about her family.
How much care and consideration there is between Uncle Lian and Aunt Gu in this life is a testament to how bad they were in their past lives.
He was afraid that Gu Xin would be sad and upset if she dreamed about them.
...
The next morning, the two sisters, Gu Hui and Gu Xin, got up and practiced their skills on the deck.
Although they set off for the capital ahead of schedule, the two sisters did not delay the tasks assigned to them by Gu Shouxin.
The sandbags should still be tied up; developing good skills will benefit them.
The boat docked around noon. Lu Zheng gave some instructions to the people on board and then led the two sisters off the boat.
After disembarking, Gu Xin stepped onto solid ground and let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally, it's not swaying anymore!"
Then he jumped a few times on the ground and ran to Gu Hui: "Hui, big brother, you look really handsome, hehe. I used to wonder why Sister Su and Xie Zhiyi loved wearing men's clothes so much, but now I understand!"
Gu Hui asked with a smile, "Why?"
Gu Xin said, "I look so good in men's clothes! I think I'm the most handsome young master at the dock!"
Gu Hui: ...Okay, whatever makes you happy!
Gu Xin glanced at Lu Zheng again: "Yes, Brother Yuanyuan is the most handsome young master!"
Gu Hui: "And what about me?"
Gu Xin's eyes darted around: "Oh, I misspoke. Sister Huihui is the most handsome eldest son, Brother Yuanyuan is the most handsome second son, and I am the most handsome third son! It matches our birth order at home perfectly!"
Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll be the most handsome second son in the Gu family for today. After I leave, I'll give the title of most handsome second son back to Niannian."
Gu Xin walked between the two, looking around. She had been to the dock in Qingzhou Prefecture before, and it was smaller than the dock in Liangzhou Prefecture.
She had also heard her father say that Qingzhou was not as good as the neighboring Yuzhou, nor as good as Liangzhou, and the prefectures further east were even worse.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, we arrived at the city of Liangzhou Prefecture.
It was already noon, and the three of them went into a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
As Gu Xin ate, she missed home. Her grandfather and sister's cooking was the best!
Lu Zheng and Gu Hui ate for a while when they suddenly felt a gaze on a table in the corner.
The two looked over and saw an ordinary old woman and a girl in her early twenties.
The old woman looked older than Grandma Gu and Grandpa Gu. Her eyes were very bright. When she saw Lu Zheng and Gu Hui looking over, she did not avoid their gaze, but smiled and nodded at them.
