"Well, judging by the pulse, it's true. But it's only been half a month. You have to take care of it and don't hurt it. This is your Gu family's lucky star." Qi Jing turned his head to look at the seven boys of the Gu family. Including Gu Zhou, there should be eight of them.
Qi Jing's expression was serious. "Remember, every generation of the Gu family will have a little girl who will bring good luck to the Gu family. Being good to her is being good to yourselves. If the little lucky star is wronged, the Gu family will also suffer bad luck!"
Gu Ang, the eldest of the eight boys in the Gu family, was twenty-one years old. He didn't believe in this kind of thing at first, but when Gu Zhou's matter was put in front of him, although he was reluctant to believe it, he would not say anything at this time and naturally agreed obediently.
The youngest, Gu Hao, was thirteen years old and still sensible. He asked curiously, "Is it a little sister?"
"Yes, little sister." Qi Jing replied, "Your generation will never be able to give birth to a daughter. If you do... don't even think about it, just go get that test done."
This sentence made the Gu family speechless. If this was a family that favored boys over girls, they would probably wake up laughing in their dreams because all they gave birth to were boys.
Gu Zhou was also speechless. He asked Qi Jing, "Why is there only one girl every other generation?"
"Yeah, it's okay if the little lucky star happened in the previous generation, but why aren't there any other girls? And there wasn't any in dad's generation either." Gu Zhongshou asked. Although the family had also passed down the idea of a little lucky star, the Gu family didn't believe it because there wasn't any in Grandpa Gu's generation.
Qi Jing scratched his face awkwardly, then glanced at Old Man Gu, "Yes, there was a small problem."
"What's the problem?" asked Mr. Gu. Why didn't he remember that he had sisters?
Qi Jun said, "During the war, the Gu family was deeply involved. Gu Xuanyi used the child to exchange for the safety of the Gu family."
Old Master Gu fell silent upon hearing this. He was seventy-six years old this year. The war broke out when he was about two years old. At that time, the Gu family was in Jing City, the center of the war.
Although he didn't remember it clearly, he still remembered that the Gu family moved away to escape the war.
This sentence made the Gu family fall into silence. It turned out that it was not because of nothing, but because the Gu family from more than 70 years ago failed to come into the world.
It was a bit heavy, but before the Gu family could continue to sigh, Qi Jun said, "It's not just the Gu family. When Pingcheng fell, the enemy burned, killed and looted. That child used his merits to exchange for the life of the Gu family and thousands of people in Pingcheng. Isn't it recorded in history books?"
After Qi Jun said this, everyone who had been to school would have an impression of it. They might not be clear about other historical events, but they would remember modern wars very clearly.
For a moment, everyone in the Gu family was in a complicated mood, and all their attention was focused on Qi Jun.
It has been more than seventy years. Mr. Gu was still young at that time, and the only one who had truly experienced it was Qi Jun.
Qi Jun continued, "The Gu family's roots are in Pingcheng. They've been in officialdom for generations. It was only after the old dynasty fell and they experienced such a war that they switched to business. The Jade Tripod and Little Lucky Star were both obtained by Gu Xuan during his lifetime, to protect the safety of your lineage."
If the Gu family is unwilling to accept this grace and enjoy this blessing, don’t blame your ancestors for taking it back.”
Since Qi Jun had said this, naturally no one dared to disobey, and they all agreed obediently.
After revealing this, Gu Zhongquan asked Qi Jing, "Since Yu Ding and Xiao Fuxing are here, what about Gu Zhou's fate?"
"I can get it back to him at a good time." Qi Jing gave an affirmative answer, then took the bag from Gu Zhou and took out a handful of jade tokens.
Qi Jing handed it to Gu Zhongquan and said, "There's some trouble over at Xuanmen. This is a jade token for protection. Each of you should take one and don't let it go."
Gu Zhongquan clenched his fists and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you, little master. Since Gu Zhou is with you, let him learn more about those things. It can also be considered as cleaning up the family for our ancestors."
Qi Jing nodded in agreement, and Gu Zhou went to distribute the protective jade tokens.
Seeing that everyone in the Gu family had received the jade token, Qi Jing reminded them, "Before we understand the situation of Xuanmen, the Gu family should try not to act alone. A single protective jade token cannot withstand too many attacks. Multiple jade tokens together will form a protective formation. The more people there are, the greater the effect of the formation.
My suggestion is that all of you families should return to the old house and go out together if possible instead of alone."
Everyone in the Gu family nodded in agreement. Qi Jing then said to Lin Shuqing, "You stay here. I want to call the soul of Little Fortune Star over to take care of her. She's too weak now and needs the company of her family. Let her feel the warmth. That's the only way to be safe."
"good."
Lin Shuqing had just agreed to Gu Zhongshou's wife Ruan Xiang's suggestion, "I'll stay with my sister-in-law. It will be more reassuring to have someone to take care of her."
Qi Jing nodded, "That's fine. Other members of the Gu family can come over if they have nothing to do. The more love Little Lucky Star feels, the better the Gu family's fortune will be."
"Then Ajin and I will move in too, and Qi Huang and Qi Qi will be there at school."
Qi Jing looked at Gu Jin, "Are you in the same school as Qiqi?"
Gu Jin nodded. Since their mother had already moved in, the two brothers should come over as well to make the place more lively.
Qi Jing agreed, saying that this was indeed safer.
After giving the Gu family the amulets, Qi Jing thought for a moment and took out the rest, handing them to Qi Mo. "Divide them among them, one for each family member, and don't forget the Xu and Shen families too."
Qi Mo knew the approximate number at a glance and understood in his heart, "I will deliver it to them."
Qi Jing nodded and told Qi Nian, "Go and bring a small table over."
Qi Nian responded and quickly moved a wooden table with Qi Yao, placing it in the center of the living room against the wall according to Qi Jing's instructions.
Qi Jing placed the incense burner on the table, dug out a small piece of topaz and placed it on the table. He then picked up a stick of incense and stroked it with his palm over it, and the incense was instantly lit.
Qi Jing handed it to Gu Zhou, "You bow first."
Gu Zhou took it and bowed three times. Qi Jing stood beside him and made a seal. When Gu Zhou inserted the incense into the incense burner, a gust of wind blew in.
Everyone in the living room couldn't help but look around. The doors and windows were closed, so how could there be wind?
The only one who could see it was Menqing. Gu Zhou looked at the little ball that landed on the jade stone and asked, "Is this the Little Lucky Star?"
"Well, Little Lucky Star missed the chance last time and has been staying in the human world ever since. She was too weak and could only stay in a quiet place. Now she has a new body, and she can wait until it grows up." Qi Jing lit another stick of incense and handed it to the Gu family. "You can also pray. Her soul is very weak now. Only by receiving the incense can she grow up quickly. Be sincere."
Old Master Gu immediately stepped forward and led the whole family to pay homage to the little lucky star.
Soon the incense burner was full. Qi Jing touched the jade and said, "Just stay here and no one will take it away this time."
There was a faint light flashing on the jade, and when Qi Jing withdrew his hand, a small hand grabbed one of his fingers and rubbed it affectionately.
Qi Jing smiled warmly, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
The fingers loosened, and Qi Jing withdrew his hand. He said to Gu Zhou, "Little Lucky Star needs some time to recuperate. When she recovers, I will change your fate. Before that, you must burn incense for her every day."
