1125 No one is special
Uncle Gu then brought the children to see the various fruits and vegetables that he had grown.
Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu were amazed. They had never seen so many fruits and vegetables before.
Gu Xin told them that these were the seeds that she got from Grandpa Zhou. They tried planting them at home but didn’t eat much, so they kept the seeds for themselves. This time, her uncle brought them over to plant them.
Uncle Gu picked mangoes, dragon fruits, bananas, and other fruits for the children.
The Huo siblings had eaten bananas before, but they had never eaten dragon fruit and mango.
It was a delicious meal.
Uncle Gu explained his plan. He planned to think of seeds that were suitable for planting in other places of the great Zhou. Otherwise, if he wanted to feed these fruits to the Emperor, he didn’t know if they would be fresh when they were transported to the capital.
The last time he sent a Kasaya to an old friend he met in Beijing, he spent 20 days on the road without stopping except for rest.
Wouldn’t these fruits spoil if they were sent over in 20 days?
Gu Nian was very pleased. She felt much more at ease now that her uncle was studying planting.
After they had their fill of fruits, Huo Junhao brought the bailiffs to work.
His plan was to personally look at the city, which was the place where Gu shouxin wanted to build a city. As for the surrounding situation, he would let the bailiffs take care of it.
He wanted to follow Gu Xin and the rest to Lin mountain. It had been a long time since he last saw his two brothers.
After a busy day and a night’s rest, the few of them set off for Lin mountain the next day.
Uncle Gu wasn’t worried about them at all. Bai er, four, six, eight, and more were with them.
Second white and Huo Junhao were driving the carriage, and there were more than four to eight dozen horses surrounding them.
There were four fruit carts following behind, all for the soldiers to eat. According to uncle Gu, there was a lot, but everyone just had to remember to leave the seeds.
In the car, other than Huo Junhao and Huo Yanyu, who only knew a few simple moves, the three Gu sisters were well-versed in martial arts.
Moreover, ever since grandma Xiao had picked herbs here, she had made several kinds of medicinal powders and pills for them. If they really encountered them, it would definitely be someone else who was in trouble.
So, uncle Gu settled on his own land and did not forget to let the children tell Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu that his uncle missed them too!
They set off on the third day of the new year and only arrived at Lin mountain at noon on the sixth day of the new year.
Lu Zheng and Xue Qianyu were resting on a big tree out of boredom. Lu Zheng sat up when he heard the commotion.
Xue Qianyu had also heard it.
“My hair and clothes are not messy, right?” The two of them said in unison.
Then, they couldn’t help but laugh.
“Let’s go down! I haven’t seen Xinxin for half a year, and you didn’t help me keep her last time.” Lu Zheng jumped down from the tree.
“If second uncle wants to leave, do you think I can stop him?” Xue Qianyu rolled his eyes at Lu Zheng after landing.
“I’m telling you, I’ve been with second uncle for two years, and I’ve already figured him out. Next time, if I’m here, I’ll definitely be able to keep him.” Lu Zheng said proudly.
“Hehe, do you think that the second uncle now is still the second uncle from two years ago? He’s probably cursing us a few hundred times in his heart every day. I’m fine, especially you. Xinxin is still so young, you beast!” Xue qianxun laughed.
Gu shouxin, who was far away in kun city, thought,”you’re wrong. Neither of you is special. You’re both bastards!”
“Let’s go! You’ll know when you have the chance in the future. At that time, I will show you big brother’s ability to coax second uncle.” Lu Zheng was not going to argue with Xue Qianyu.
