My Entire Family’s Gone Haywire! Chapter 812

....
812 So worried
The Gu family quite liked Xue Qianyu. It was not that his gift was expensive, but they felt that this child knew how to be polite. Although he did not like to talk, he looked steady and reliable.
Xue Qianyu chose the best tea leaves, a piece of ink, and a bag of flower seeds for Grandpa Gu. He also gave a set of hunting tools to uncle Gu and a set of woodworking tools to fourth uncle Gu. He had asked for these two sets of tools from the assistant Minister at the Ministry of Works. Although the assistant Minister was the same age as his father, he owed Xue Qianyu a favor. He had also given Gu shouxin a piece of ink and a copy. He gave Gu en a set of brush, ink, paper, inkstone, and books, while he gave Gu Ren a set of toys for children in the capital.
As for the women in the Gu family, they were all made of cloth. He did not take special care of Gu Nian since Gu Nian would have a share if the cloth was made into clothes.
Even third aunt Gu’s family of three had gifts.
Gu shouxin took the gift Home and muttered to Cai Xiaolian, ” “This Xue family’s kid often travels outside, so he knows more about the ways of the world than li Muyan. He’s steady and reserved. If he’s with niannian, I’m afraid that li Muyan will only cry.”
Cai Xiaolian smiled and said,”that’s right!” Mu Yan was one year older than him, but he had not gone out much since he was young, so he was not as mature as Xue Xiao ‘er. But fortunately, his unlucky fate won’t last long. He’s so smart, I’m sure he won’t be worse than Xue Xiao ‘er in the future.”
The couple didn’t say much. From Gu Nian’s recent behavior, they knew that their eldest daughter had taken a liking to li Muyan. If they continued to talk about this, they would only add to their daughter’s troubles.
Both of them were smart people. How could they not see Xue Qianyu’s feelings for Gu Nian?
What the two of them did not expect was that Xue Xiao ‘er had arranged for an invisible spy. Other than Lu Zheng and Huo Junhao, no one knew about Gu en. No one would have thought that the cold Xue Qianyu would make Gu en willingly become a spy for him.
The Li family had brought many expensive gifts. Uncle Gu had even teased Gu Nian that the most expensive things he had seen since he was born were all thanks to her.
Grandma Gu glared at him, and without saying a word, he got out of the room obediently.
……
In the first month of the lunar year, everyone was not busy and they were very comfortable.
On the 14th day of the first lunar month, the Huo family came to pick them up. After the Lantern Festival, the siblings would return to Nan County together. Huo Junhao would prepare for his exams, while Huo Yanyu would accompany her brother to study.
This might be the last time they would go out before they returned to the capital. Huo Yanyu and Huo Junhao discussed that they would try to guess all the lanterns in the Qing Province during the Lantern Festival.
This time, all the members of the Gu family were out. The family was left to second lady Meng and fourth lady Meng. They had to feed the pigs and chickens.
“Sister Xinxin, why are you so unhappy? Aren’t you happy to go to the prefecture to see the lanterns?” The carriage had already traveled quite a distance, but Huo Yanyu realized that Gu Xin, who was usually the happiest, was not saying a word.
“I didn’t!” Gu Xin shook her head.
“You’ve been bored for half the way and you still haven’t? Do you think we’re all blind?” Gu Nian said in a bad mood.
Gu Xin looked outside and saw Lu Zheng chatting with Huo Junhao.
But she was also worried that if she said it now, the people outside would hear it.
She was actually thinking about what gift to give her brother Yuanyuan.
It was only this morning that her parents had mentioned her birthday tomorrow, and then she remembered that it was also brother Yuanyuan’s birthday tomorrow.
Recently, she was so happy that she forgot brother Yuanyuan’s birthday. Of course, she also forgot her own birthday.
How vexing!
It’s time tomorrow!
What if brother Yuanyuan had prepared it for him but he didn’t?
The few young ladies in the car looked at Gu Xin, not knowing why she suddenly looked outside.
“What are we going to do when we get to the prefecture later?” Gu Xin saw that everyone was looking at her, so she tried to find a topic to talk about.
“Mother said that after tidying up the courtyard, we will first go to aunt Luo’s house to give gifts and then go back to third aunt’s place to eat.” Gu Nian looked at Gu Xin in confusion. do you have something to say? ”
