2427 I’ll follow your orders
Gu Xin pinched her face and laughed, ” “You’re here again? Be careful or I’ll really make you my younger brother!”
“I’ll listen to your every command!” Zheng Qiu laughed.
Gu Xin held her forehead, not knowing what to say, ” “Quickly go! Don’t say such things in the future, or I’ll get angry.”
“Alright, I’ll head over now,” Zheng Qiu nodded.
After Zheng Qiu left, she ran into the Butlers of the Qian and Wang residences. She was in a good mood and nodded at them.
The gatekeeper was surprised. He knew Zheng Qiu as well. He was the coroner of the court of judicial review and spent most of his time with the third young lady. The gatekeeper was not sure if it was because of his work or his personality, but he rarely saw Zheng Qiu so kind to strangers. He was still guessing what had happened.
Since the other party was the Butler, the Gu family was naturally received by the Butler.
The Qian clan and Wang clan were here to send their invitations. Old master Qian and fatty Wang would come over to visit tomorrow.
The Butler of the Gu family took the invitation, exchanged a few pleasantries, and sent the person away. Then, he took the invitation and handed it to Grandpa Gu.
Just then, Gu Xin and Zheng Qiu finished their conversation and came over to see Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
“It’s Grandpa Qian and fatty Wang! I knew it, it’s already been four days and fatty Wang still hasn’t come. This kid’s movements are quite slow, he’s probably slacking off at home on purpose. You have to wait until Grandpa Qian comes to the capital!” Gu Xin complained after the Butler finished reporting the situation.
“That young master Wang is older than you, isn’t he?” Grandpa Gu asked with a smile.
“Yeah, he already has a child.” Gu Xin nodded her head. Then, she realized what Grandpa Gu meant and said embarrassedly, ” hehe, Grandpa, I thought he was the same age as me! He’s already called en ‘Zi his brother, so it’s fine to call him little brat.”
Grandpa Gu smiled helplessly.
“You don’t need to go to the Ministry of Rites today?” Grandma Gu asked.
“There’s no need to go. The officials from the Ministry of Rites can’t learn as fast as me. Even if he could endure it, he would learn faster than them. That’s why I’m staying at home to keep Grandpa and Grandma company!” Gu Xin walked to grandma Gu’s side and held her arm.
Grandma Gu didn’t reply and just looked at Gu Xin.
She didn’t know why, but she suddenly remembered the years when her second son was still a bastard. This granddaughter of the second branch was not so lively.
Now that she had grown up, experienced more, and was more lively, she was still that silly and kind little girl in front of her family.
“Grandpa, grandma, before this in the palace, great-grandma even said that she was going to betroth ninren and little Ming Yue! Are you really going to betroth ninren and little Mingyue?” Gu Xin asked as she picked up a piece of watermelon and ate it.
“Your aunt Ling does have this intention, but they’re still young. Who knows what will happen in the future?” Grandma Gu said.
She didn’t really agree with the child’s engagement. They seemed to be close now, but who knew what would happen in the future? When they were young, it was a sibling relationship. When they grew up, they would meet other men and other girls. She didn’t want to have a dead end for the two children.
This was especially true for that kid, ninren. He had been smart and quick-witted since he was young. He seemed to be a carefree person, but he had his own ideas. Grandma Gu cared a lot about the child’s attitude.
She planned to wait until Gu Ren was ten years old. So, even if Queen Dugu was not the one who had suggested it, she would have to decline it. She would wait until Gu Ren was ten years old before asking for his opinion. If he was willing, then it would be settled.
