Her phrases made the 2 of them blush. Gu Chang’an chuckled and turned to depart to forestall the 2 juniors from being embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran pulled him again. “Why are you operating? The visitor checklist must be mentioned collectively. Additionally, you must write these identify playing cards.”

Gu Chang’an didn’t discover writing troublesome. He was from the Gu Household in any case. His calligraphy abilities had been as soon as one of the best among the many descendants of aristocratic households. It was simply that he had stored a low profile after he deserted his brush and was forgotten by the literary circle.

Nonetheless, the visitor checklist…

The extra he had a headache, the extra it got here. Xiao Ran clenched her fists and coughed calmly. “We now have to ask the Gu Household’s members, proper?

“It’s their granddaughter’s coming-of-age ceremony.”

Gu Chang’an frowned much more when she mentioned that.

“So, Husband, who’re we going to ask?

Gu Chang’an was silent for a very long time earlier than sighing. “Let me give it some thought.” This time, Xiao Ran didn’t cease him from leaving. Nonetheless, she rotated and met Xiaoxiao’s curious gaze. “Alright, I ought to have advised you about this.” Rong Van was an insider. Understanding that it was an extended story, he bade farewell and went to do his personal issues.

After Xiaoxiao despatched her away, she returned to Xiao Ran’s room and even introduced snacks and tea.

Xiao Ran was between laughter and tears. “Are you listening to a narrative?”

Xiaoxiao chuckled and didn’t deny it. This made Xiao Ran’s remorse and fear reduce somewhat.

-As you recognize, your father got here from the Gu Household within the Imperial Capital. The Gu Household is a scholarly household. Even the servants must learn and write since they had been younger. Your father was additionally a well-known scholar within the Imperial

Capital again then.”

“Everybody within the Imperial Capital says that Gu Chang’an would be the youngest high scholar in Nice Xia after Lu Chen, however your father didn’t seem on the day of the imperial examination.”

Xiaoxiao stopped chewing and even sat up straight reflexively.

Xiao Ran mentioned, “Nobody is aware of why he didn’t seem, however that evening, your father and grandfather had a giant struggle. From then on, the daddy and son didn’t have relationship.”

“Others assume that he interacted much less with the Gu Household as a result of he married into the Common’s Residence and made Grand Secretary Gu really feel embarrassed.

Nonetheless, that’s not the case.”

“Regardless that they didn’t work together and although the 2 of them didn’t point out one another a lot, they might undoubtedly be the primary to hurry up if anybody outdoors mentioned that the opposite celebration was dangerous.”

Again then, somebody mentioned that Gu Chang’an was prepared to degrade himself. He failed the examination and married into the Xiao Household to hunt wealth. Prior to now, Grand Secretary Gu, who was scholarly, would chase after him and debate with him. That particular person was additionally a barely well-known pupil, however Grand Secretary Gu made the article nugatory on the spot, however he couldn’t refute him.

That was not all. Through the morning court docket meeting the following day, Grand Secretary Gu, who had all the time been good-tempered, made the scholar’s father really feel ashamed. He wished he may take off his official hat and return to his hometown on the spot.

As for Gu Chang’an, the one favor he requested the Emperor for after he turned an imperial chef was to research a minister who was corrupted, inflicting him to lose his household fortune.

Others may not know, however Xiao Ran knew that the minister had as soon as mocked Grand Secretary Gu for dropping his footing after consuming.

The Gu father and son had been equally cussed and protecting. On the identical time, the 2 of them had been equally awkward.

Xiaoxiao tilted her head and requested, “They clearly care about one another, so why are they nonetheless in a impasse?”

Xiao Ran mentioned softly, “Ego.”

“Perhaps they only lack a possibility.”

Xiaoxiao understood. “Mom, you imply that my coming-of-age ceremony is that chance?”

She patted her chest and promised, “Mom, don’t fear. Depart this to me!” The following day, Gu Chang’an, who got here for breakfast, had darkish circles below his eyes. He mentioned that it was due to the visitor checklist, so nobody uncovered him. After dinner, Xiaoxiao volunteered. “The climate is nice at present. I’ll ship the invitation.”

Gu Chang’an didn’t assume an excessive amount of about it. “Why would you could do such a factor your self?”

The folks of Nice Xia had been open-minded. There was no saying that girls couldn’t present their faces, particularly younger girls like Xiaoxiao. Youngsters of aristocratic households might be seen strolling across the streets of the Imperial

Capital.

Xiaoxiao mentioned, “After all there’s no want for extraordinary folks, however it’s higher to go to those that are nearer to me personally. Moreover, I haven’t seen a few of my buddies in a very long time. If I don’t go to them, they may be indignant with me sooner or later.”

Her little buddies? For instance, the Shen Household and… Ruoruo?

Gu Chang’an considered one thing and his gaze stopped on breakfast. He hummed softly.

Xiao Ran suppressed her laughter and gave her daughter a glance. Understanding that her father was thin-skinned, she stopped whereas she was forward. She acquired up in a number of bites. “Then I’ll exit first. If I am going late, I’m afraid they’ll must go to

college.”

After saying that, hse disappeared. It was widespread for Rong Yan to eat on the Common’s Residence, however he was particularly silent at present. Earlier than Xiao Ran may ask, she noticed Rong Yan put down his chopsticks and stand as much as tidy up his look. Then, he walked as much as Xiao Ran and Gu Chang an.

“Aunt Xiao, Uncle Gu, Yan’er needs to formally suggest marriage after Xiaoxiao’s coming-of-age ceremony. I hope the 2 of you possibly can fulfill my want.” He mentioned, “I’ll undoubtedly deal with Xiaoxiao properly sooner or later. If I’m negligent, Aunt Xiao will maintain the spear and beat me up at any time. Yan’er will certainly not dodge.”

“I received’t say mushy phrases, however so long as I’m round, I received’t let Xiaoxiao endure. If I am going towards this, I’ll be struck by lightning.

Xiao Ran teased him. “You mentioned that you simply wouldn’t make vows. Now you’re speaking about them now. Males.”

Rong Yan’s face was pink. Though he felt that Aunt Xiao and Uncle Gu wouldn’t reject him, he was nonetheless very nervous.

Gu Chang’an helped him up and patted his shoulder.

“You need to wait at the very least three years for her to get married. We’ve been separated for a few years. I can’t bear to see her get married too early.” Rong Yan nodded vigorously. “Uncle Gu, don’t fear. Yan’er will abide by etiquette, love her, and respect her.

After saying that, he added, “Furthermore, ahem, the Third Prince’s residence is close to the Common’s Residence. Even when we get married, Xiaoxiao received’t depart

you.”

“Yan’er will deal with Aunt Xiao and Uncle Gu as my organic dad and mom!

On this planet, solely Xiao Ran dared to say such phrases. “Alright! I’ll deal with you as my organic son too!”

The Emperor had sneezed a number of instances early within the morning, so he was in a nasty temper.

“Dezi, bear in mind who else is singing praises for the Crown Prince within the morning court docket later. I need to see how many individuals within the court docket haven’t been roped in by the Yan Household!”

The Crown Prince was his son and was personally appointed by him. Therefore, even when the Crown Prince was somewhat anxious and went overboard, the Emperor may perceive. Nonetheless, he couldn’t tolerate the Yan Household protecting the sky with one hand.

Within the court docket, the officers would say regardless of the Yan Household needed them to say. In the event that they didn’t need them to say something, they may instantly shut up. Prime Minister Yan’s gaze appeared to be much more efficient than his phrases because the Emperor.

He was not fascinated with at present’s morning court docket meeting till final evening, when he opened a memorandum, by which Rong Yan reported the method of the journey to Xijiang County..
