In the late afternoon, when the sun was less intense, the Gu sisters went to Zheng Qiu's house together.
Zheng Qiu lived in the city center. Although the people living around him were not high-ranking officials or nobles, they all worked in government offices. The place was quiet and orderly, and the alleys were kept very clean.
Gu Hui and Gu Nian are married and brought gifts when they visited. Since Zheng Qiu is now outwardly a man, the gifts they prepared were for men, such as writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Gu Nian also prepared a very precise human body model frame. Although she studied life science botany, she had once thought about studying medicine. Later, she also made one for Grandma Xiao and Gu Xin, so it was very easy for her to make it.
Gu Xin also asked the housekeeper to prepare a gift.
So, the Gu sisters arrived in one carriage and another with gifts. None of them brought maids. The Gu sisters were never used to bringing maids when they went out, unless they were visiting the palace or other wealthy households.
Gu Xin used to take care of Dong Xue because she was bored. Now that she has so many sisters around her, she is not bored at all.
Zheng Qiu's door was never closed; it had been open since the afternoon. Hearing the commotion outside, he came out to greet them.
"Xinxin, Miss Gu, you've arrived! Please come in." Zheng Qiu greeted the Gu sisters generously.
"Xiao Qiu, we brought you a gift. See where to put it, and I'll have the driver help us bring it in!" Gu Xin came to Zheng Qiu's side, pointed to the carriage behind, and said, "I can't guarantee anything else, but there's one thing you'll definitely love."
"You're too kind! I won't refuse then. Please help me move to that room, gentlemen!" Zheng Qiu felt a warmth in her heart. She had never played with so many girls of similar age before.
Lu Zheng, Xue Qianyu, and the other men haven't arrived yet. Apart from the coachman, aren't they all girls?
"Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu, I'll take them there for you. I know where to put these things!" Gu Ren volunteered to help.
"Then thank you, Renren!" Zheng Qiu squatted down a bit, resting her hands on her knees, her gaze level with Gu Ren's.
She talks to children like this, and her facial expressions are always gentler.
"Of course, of course." Gu Ren chuckled and pulled Xiao Mingyue to direct the coachman.
Gu Hui had a very good first impression of Zheng Qiu. Although she had met him before, she had always thought he was a man. He was thin and small, so he was not someone she paid attention to. Besides, he was already married.
So, this is her first impression after she learned that Zheng Qiu was a girl.
As for Gu Nian, she had long known about Gu Ren's little scheme. This guy was looking for a reliable sister-in-law so that he could live a carefree life without having to worry about anything.
Moreover, he and Enzi are ten years apart in age. After Enzi gets married, he will have to live with his sister-in-law for at least ten years. He has to find someone he can find pleasing to the eye.
Gu Nian thought Gu Ren was a bit abnormal. It's not like he's the one getting married, why is he worrying about it?
However, Gu Nian also had a good impression of Zheng Qiu, and it would be nice if Zheng Qiu could become her brother's wife someday.
Zheng Qiu invited the Gu sisters into the house and brought out the flower tea that had been prepared.
