Chapter 848
848 What is still missing?
Third uncle also participated in the village examination this year and passed the high scholar examination. His ranking was not that high, and he was considered to be in the middle.
He was a little conflicted about whether he should follow Gu shouxin to the capital for the examination. He was worried that he would be bullied by his mother and sister if he was not by his side after his wife gave birth.
At the beginning of April, when Gu shouxin came to the prefecture to attend a banquet hosted by the magistrate, he was pulled by his third uncle to ask this question.
“Second brother, do you think I should take the exam this year or three years later?” third uncle was very conflicted.
Gu shouxin didn’t give him any ideas and let him think about it clearly.
In the end, before third uncle could think clearly, third aunt gave birth.
On the 4th of April, everything went well, and she gave birth to a pair of twins, a Dragon and a Phoenix.
It was a good sign.
The older brother was born first, followed by the younger sister.
When Gu shouxin heard that the delivery was near, he even took a few jade beads and put them into the food that the servants brought to third aunt.
There was no need to feed the child. Anyway, third aunt Gu had to feed the child after eating it.
Since third aunt had given birth, Gu shouxin stayed in the prefecture and waited for the Gu family to come and see her before they went back together.
This time, he didn’t force the children to stay at home and allowed them to visit their younger siblings.
Seeing her daughter in high spirits, grandma Gu was relieved. Having twins had a great impact on a woman’s health. It seemed that her son-in-law had taken good care of her.
After his third uncle received his daughter’s happiness, he thought about whether he should take the exam or not. So, he found his father-in-law, who always liked to listen to his complaints.
Grandpa Gu replied,’yes! No one knew what would happen after three years. If third brother doesn’t let you take the exam, I’ll scold her!”
Third uncle was so touched that he was about to cry. This was the first time his father-in-law had so readily said that he wanted to scold his daughter.
He would definitely take the test, and he had to pass it.
Then, he decided to do something that might be criticized by others, which was to send his wife and child to the Yue family. This way, he would not have to worry about his mother and sister bullying his wife!
Grandma Gu was speechless after hearing that.
Children were all debts!
……
After the Lantern Festival, Lu Zheng was no longer being hunted down, but the clues were also cut off.
His men found out that the person who was in contact with the ten thousand sword Pavilion was close to a servant of the Li family. They had been watching this servant for three months and didn’t find any problems.
After getting someone to keep an eye on the Li family’s servants, he also got someone to keep an eye on li Muyan. Then, he felt a deep sense of pity for Xue Qianyu. Li Muyan was probably going to be engaged to Gu Nian soon.
Moreover, there was nothing wrong with li Muyan’s love for Gu Nian. As a man, Lu Zheng could understand why he was jealous.
This kid was exactly like what he had heard in his previous life, proud of his success and very free.
As for Gu Nian’s marriage, Lu Zheng would not interrupt.
After seeing her third aunt and her new cousins, Gu Nian followed Cai Xiaolian to the Li family.
Recently, the finishing touches on Liansheng Street had been done, and Cai Xiaolian and Madam li had been very busy.
This time, the four Gu sisters went with them. Gu en wanted to go with them, but she was escorted by Gu shouxin to take the exam.
Gu en could only silently apologize to the waiter in his heart.
After not seeing li Muyan for a month, Gu Nian was filled with joy. She finally understood how it felt to miss someone.
It was the same for li Muyan. If it were not for the Gu sisters, he would have recited all the things he missed for the past month to Gu Nian.
Although she was overjoyed, Gu Nian still felt that something was missing.
