Although she accepted He Huaixiu, Gu Wanping still felt something was not right.
Qin Chaochao pulled her aside and said, "Tomorrow, let's take some gifts and visit Xiuxiu's parents. The man should always be more proactive. What do you think, Pingping?"
"Okay, Qinglian, go prepare some gifts." Gu Wanping waved her hand and ordered.
"Okay, ma'am." Qinglian retreated.
"Chao Chao, do you think I am not acting like a mother-in-law if I accept her so easily?" Gu Wanping asked with a slightly frown.
Qin Chaochao rolled her eyes when she heard that, then said, "No, I actually think you're quite impressive. You obviously like noble ladies, but your ideas change very quickly. And before Xiuxiu even married into the family, you've already started to protect her. This shows that you've accepted her from the bottom of your heart."
Upon hearing this, Gu Wanping lowered her eyes and thought.
The two of them were in the room when suddenly there was a knock on the door. Gu Wanping was puzzled. "Who?"
"Aunt, it's me." He Huaixiu stood at the door holding a thick quilt.
"What's wrong?" Gu Wanping glanced at Qin Chaochao, who didn't understand why she came here at this time.
"The weather has been changeable recently, and it's always windy at night. I'll make a thick quilt for you so you won't be cold at night." He Huaixiu said.
Gu Wanping asked Qinglian to prepare the gift. At this time, there were only Qin Chaochao and her. Gu Wanping went to open the door and saw He Huaixiu holding a thick quilt and making way for her.
"You are such a thoughtful child..." Gu Wanping took the initiative to make the bed when she saw her walk in. She did every step neatly, and then laid a thick mattress, tidied it up, and then put the quilt on.
Qin Chaochao smiled and said, "Oh, Pingping, I also want to have a wife like Xiuxiu. If you are a noble lady in Kyoto, who will personally make your bed?"
Gu Wanping felt the same way when she heard this, but she still maintained a polite distance on the surface.
He Huaixiu didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. He just focused on his own things. "Auntie, this mattress has been exposed to the sun a few days ago. It's very clean. If you feel cold at night, you can call Qinglian to the kitchen. I left a fire in the kitchen so you can burn charcoal. I put the charcoal in the corner for you in advance."
Gu Wanping followed her fingertips and saw the charcoal piled up in the corner.
She was touched. Yao Jinyu had never done these things. Gu Wanping suddenly felt relieved. What status or background mattered? A hero does not care about his origin. Qin Chaochao was right. She should trust her son's vision. There were no rotten peaches in Gu Beijian's basket, and my son Yao Wenyuan would not pick rotten peaches.
After her thoughts were cleared up, Gu Wanping began to like He Huaixiu more.
"Come, Xiuxiu, sit with me for a while." Gu Wanping sat on the edge of the bed. The soft and warm feeling made her feel good.
He Huaixiu felt a little embarrassed, but still did as he was told.
Qin Chaochao picked up a snack and started eating, then began to watch the show.
"Xiu Xiu, how old are you?" Gu Wanping began to ask for details.
"It should be 17 after the Chinese New Year." He Huaixiu said after thinking for a while.
"If Wenyuan didn't celebrate his birthday after the Chinese New Year, he would be 24. If he hadn't devoted himself to imperial examinations and doing practical things for the people, he would have been married long ago." Gu Wanping sighed.
He Huaixiu nodded after hearing this.
"Although you should be considered an older girl in the village at your age, in my opinion, you are still quite young. I plan to visit your parents tomorrow to have a formal meeting. Otherwise, it will be bad for your reputation as a girl." Gu Wanping patted her hand gently.
"Ah? Is it so urgent? I haven't had time to ask my parents to prepare..." He Huaixiu was a little anxious when he heard that.
"It's okay, no need to prepare anything. I came here in a hurry and don't have anything good to give you. This is for you." Gu Wanping took off a translucent green bracelet from her hand and put it on He Huaixiu's hand.
He Huaixiu was stunned. "No, no, no, aunt, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."
Gu Wanping stopped her from taking it off and said, "This is my gift to you."
Qin Chaochao had already eaten several snacks on the side. Seeing this, he said, "Oh, Xiuxiu, just accept it. It's nothing."
He Huaixiu glanced at the expressions of the two people and accepted it only after confirming that it was okay.
When Yao Wenyuan heard that Gu Wanping was going to visit He Huaixiu's parents, he specially asked his officials to take charge of it for him for a day or two.
The group went to Shandandan Village in a mighty procession.
Passing by Luguang Town, Gu Beijian told Yi Yami that his mother was also there. Yi Yami immediately took a look at her clothes and complained, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You left me unprepared."
"I've been too busy these days and forgot." Gu Beijian scratched his head.
Yao Wenyuan and his companions' carriage slowly stopped at Yiji.
Yi Yami noticed it with her sharp eyes and immediately poked Gu Beijian, "It seems to be coming."
Gu Wanping and Qin Chaochao are both interested in Yi Yami. They both want to see what she looks like and what kind of personality she has that will make Gu Beijian like her.
Gu Beijian and Yi Yami walked out together to greet them.
Gu Wanping got out of the car with the help of He Huaixiu, and Gu Beijian called out "Auntie."
Gu Wanping smiled and nodded. "We were going to Xiuxiu's house to visit her parents, and thought we'd stop by and see you."
When Gu Wanping raised her eyes, she saw Yi Yami standing next to Gu Beijian. She was shorter than He Huaixiu, but taller than an ordinary girl.
When Qin Chaochao heard Gu Beijian's voice, he immediately got out of the car, "Son!"
Gu Beijian supported her helplessly but lovingly, "Mom, you're already an adult, why are you still so irritable?"
