"Thank you for your kindness, Madam Gu. It's not difficult to apply for a new household registration. My sister and I can handle it."
"As a newcomer to the capital, coming here without even saying hello is already a nuisance. If you still need to trouble Madam Gu for such a small matter, then Jiuyue is really ignorant."
Although Lin Jiuyue didn't know the procedure for applying for a new household registration, she just needed to ask a little bit. There was no need to trouble the Gu family, who was a big shot in the family.
"You girl, I told you not to be polite, but you are still so polite."
Also sitting in the room were Gu Chengyan's father, General Zhenyuan, and his grandfather, General Zhenguo. Lin Jiuyue was a woman, and with Gu Chengyan's beautiful mother also in the room, it was difficult for the two to interrupt.
When they heard Lin Jiuyue say that they didn't need help, they couldn't bear it any longer.
Their family had only one son, and all of them were brave and skilled generals. However, Gu Chengyan had been weak since childhood, so he was sent away to be raised.
Before Gu Chengyan came back, his family had been thinking about arranging a marriage for him, hoping to have a descendant for the Gu family in advance, but Gu Chengyan refused.
Who would have thought that when this guy returned to Beijing this time, he unexpectedly brought back a woman.
Even calling us friends.
No matter what the relationship between my son and this woman is, as a family member, I cannot hold my son back.
"Miss Lin, you are so polite. Just leave this little matter to the housekeeper. If you are worried, you can go with the housekeeper."
After General Zhenyuan finished speaking, before Lin Jiuyue could refuse, he gave a few instructions to the housekeeper standing below.
"Butler, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember to ask the person who handles the new household registration to find a better place for Miss Lin."
Lin Jiuyue, who wanted to refuse, stopped talking immediately after hearing this.
If you apply for a new household registration yourself, you may not be assigned a good place.
But since people from the General's Mansion are going with me, then I can choose where I want to go, right?
"In that case, September would like to thank General and Madam for their help."
Lin Jiuyue bowed and said politely.
There weren't many female members in the general's mansion, and with the arrival of Lin Jiuyue, Gu Chengyan's beautiful mother was extremely happy.
"Jiuyue, since everything has been handed over to the housekeeper, you don't have to worry about it. I will definitely give you a good piece of land."
"We don't have many female relatives in our house. I usually want to talk to someone, but there's no one to talk to. Since you're here these two days, why don't you stay here for a few days? First, you can keep me company and talk. Second, I can take you out to familiarize yourself with the environment of the capital."
After hearing this, Lin Jiuyue quickly refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, ma'am. However, September still has a lot of things to do, so I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you."
Mrs. Gu was a little disappointed after hearing Lin Jiuyue's words.
"Oh, so when are you free?"
Lin Jiuyue thought for a moment.
"Wait until I finish my business. Then I'll come to bother you in September."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu smiled.
"In that case, I'll grant your request. However, you haven't settled down there yet and don't have a place to live. Why don't you stay here for a few days and move back after you've finished your business there?"
Firstly, Lin Jiuyue didn't want to bother the Gu family, and secondly, he wanted to see what the place where he would live in the future would look like.
"Madam, this is too much trouble. I won't live here anymore. When I'm settled, September will definitely come to visit. Madam, please don't think September is annoying."
Seeing Lin Jiuyue's insistence, Mrs. Gu no longer forced her.
"In that case, then let's listen to September. But, September, don't forget what you said today. Once you're settled, you must come and stay at my house for a while."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
If I remember correctly, I only said that I would come to visit, and I didn't say that I would stay at the Gu family for a while, right?
How did this get to Mrs. Gu's ears? Did she agree to it?
Lin Jiuyue was about to explain a few words, but was stopped by Gu Chengyan's look.
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Forget it, since Gu Chengyan saved me and took good care of me and my siblings along the way, I won’t mention it.
After meeting the Gu family, Lin Jiuyue had lunch at the Gu family's house. Mrs. Gu then asked the housekeeper to take Lin Jiuyue to the place where she would register her new household registration.
Gu Chengyan learned that Lin Jiuyue was going to apply for a new household registration in the afternoon and wanted to go with her.
Neither Mrs. Gu nor General Zhenyuan and his son objected.
"Cheng'er, this is Miss Lin's first time in the capital, and she's still a little unfamiliar with the city. After the household registration is settled, take Miss Lin for a walk around the city."
Mrs. Gu made faces while speaking, which made Gu Chengyan's mouth twitch.
"Mom, I understand."
General Gu, who was sitting next to him, nodded, seeming to be very satisfied with his son's attitude.
After Lin Jiuyue and her brother and Gu Chengyan left, Madam Gu and General Zhenyuan and his son gathered together to gossip.
"Madam, tell me, what is the relationship between Cheng'er and that Miss Lin? Are they really friends?"
General Gu's face was full of gossip, as if he wanted to get the answer he wanted to hear from his wife.
Mrs. Gu also had a smile on her face.
"I don't know, but I don't think it's possible that my son would bring a so-called friend home for no reason. And this person is a woman."
"Need I say that? Based on my experience, our Cheng'er probably has a crush on that girl."
Mr. Gu took a sip of tea and looked calm and composed.
"Dad, you think so too? I thought I was the only one who thought so."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu's smile deepened.
"Oh, I told you that our Cheng'er would never bring a girl back for no reason. Now you can finally rest assured."
General Gu said stubbornly.
"I, why should I worry? Even though our son hasn't been with us much since he was little, I still know what kind of person he is."
Mrs. Gu pursed her lips.
"Come on, I don't know who it was that was always saying bad things about Cheng'er in my ear, always suspecting that Cheng'er was a homosexual. Now he's denying it."
Mr. Gu was originally sitting at his seat drinking tea, but he became upset when he heard this.
Why does it sound like this is talking about myself?
Wasn't I worried before that my grandson liked men?
But I can't blame myself entirely! It's because my grandson rarely goes out to make friends, and even if he does, they're all men. It's understandable that I think this way, right?
