Someone else added, “That person is a loafer and a lackey. He even teases proper women. The magistrate didn’t hit him because of Lord Xu. There are many people who want to beat him up. He deserves it!”
What a coincidence. He was beaten up just after pushing her?
Xiaoxiao held her chin and happened to see Yun San and Eighteen looking up at the sky in the corridor. She was speechless.
With the younger generation around, Old Master Shen and his sons almost couldn’t eat their fill. It was hard for them to maintain their elegance while eating quickly. Just as they were thinking about going back tonight to teach their children again, especially their sons, what “filial piety” was, the servants brought over the after-dinner snacks that Xiaoxiao had specially prepared.
Everyone thought that they would probably be full by now, but when they saw the beautiful, soft, and sweet Taro Cake Roll and the clear Crystal Jelly, they wanted to tell the world loudly that they were alright!
By the time all the snacks were distributed, the group of young people who were of the same generation as Xiaoxiao could not wait to burn incense and become sworn siblings with her. When Xiaoxiao was amused by them and looked at their bulging stomachs, she felt that it was best to make them a hawthorn drink to digest their food.
Looking at her back, Gu Ruoruo hesitated again and again. She followed her and walked to an empty spot. She turned to Xiaoxiao. “I admit defeat!”
“From now on, I won’t fight with you for Brother Tianci. Remember to treat him better!”
Gu Ruoruo was about to cry when she said the last sentence. Xiaoxiao helplessly grabbed the young lady who was about to run away. “I’ve already said that Shen Tianci and I really don’t have that kind of relationship…
Gu Ruoruo finally burst into tears. God knew how much courage she had used to give up on Brother Tianci. “How is that possible? Brother Tianci is so good. How can anyone spend time with him but not like him?
Xiaoxiao tried her best to explain, but she realized that this girl was really stubborn. Helpless, she could only tell her, “I have someone I like.”
She added, “That person is not Shen Tianci.”
Gu Ruoruo still did not believe it. Seeing that her teary eyes were not suitable for others to see, Xiaoxiao suggested bringing her back to her room to wash her face. “I exchanged a token with the person I like. If you don’t believe me, I’ll
show it to you.”
It was unknown if Gu Ruoruo was afraid that she would be embarrassed if others saw her like this, or if she was really curious about the keepsake Xiaoxiao mentioned. She sniffed and really followed her.
Xiaoxiao instructed the space: [Take out my jade pendant and put it in the wardrobe.]
She couldn’t let Gu Ruoruo see her perform tricks after she went in.
However, the space was only sensitive to food. When Xiaoxiao mentioned the jade pendant, it did not know which one it was, so it took both out.
Xiaoxiao felt that the design of the jade pendant Rong Yan gave her was quite low-key. It should not expose its Master. It was good to use it to dispel Gu Ruoruo’s doubts. She did not want to always be Gu Ruoruo’s imaginary enemy.
Most importantly, what if Little Big Brother found out in the future that she was jealous?
After entering the house, Xiaoxiao was even more glad that she had already asked the space to prepare in advance. This little girl, who kept saying that she would admit defeat and give up on Shen Tianci, was following her closely.
She deliberately teased Gu Ruoruo. “Are you in a hurry?”
Gu Ruoruo turned her head. “I didn’t!” However, she couldn’t help but look
over.
She said that but her body was upright. Heh, so she was a tsundere.
Xiaoxiao did not keep her in suspense and opened the box.
Seeing the two jade pendants lying inside, she didn’t say anything. She just put down the box and handed the jade pendant Rong Yan gave her to Gu Ruoruo.
This jade pendant that clearly belonged to a man but did not belong to Shen Tianci made Gu Ruoruo smile unconsciously. Xiaoxiao handed her a handkerchief. “Go wash your face?”
Little Miss Gu, who had thought it through, was especially obedient. After washing her face, she even accepted Xiaoxiao’s good intentions and applied snowflake cream to her face. After applying it, she moved to Xiaoxiao’s side with a red face and thanked her softly. She happened to see the latter put the jade pendant back into the box.
She did not notice it at first glance. This time, when she looked at the other jade pendant in the box, Gu Ruoruo felt a sense of deja vu.
Where had she seen it before? Why couldn’t she remember?
“Do you want some hawthorn drink?”
Gu Ruoruo immediately threw away the thought. Yes’.
That night, everyone except Xiaoxiao was stuffed. Gu Ruoruo was still rubbing her stomach when she reached home. Fortunately, the hawthorn drink helped to digest some of it. Otherwise, she felt that she might vomit when she got out of the carriage.
The two elders of the Gu Family poked her forehead helplessly. “Y-you’re already so old. How can you still… How delicious is it that you can’t help but eat until you’re full? You’ve eaten a lot of Uncle’s cooking since you were young!” Gu Ruoruo, who was frowning and listening to the scolding, suddenly jumped up. “Ah! It’s Little Grandpa!”
The two elders looked around. “Ah? Uncle is here? You brat, you’re lying to us again! Also, I told you to call him Grandpa. What Little Grandpa? How rude!” Gu Ruoruo was about to rush out. “I’m going to find Little Grandpa!”
The two elders grabbed her. “It can’t be that serious, right? You want to complain to your Grandpa after saying a few words to you?”
Gu Ruoruo shook her head repeatedly. “No, no. I have something to ask him. It’s serious!”
The two elders reminded her to look at the sky. “Don’t you know what time it is? Your Grandpa’s house is at least an hour away from us. Let’s talk tomorrow.” Gu Ruoruo did not sleep well the entire night and really ran to look for her Little Grandpa early in the morning.
Her Little Grandpa was a legendary figure. He was clearly born into a studious family, but he did not like to study. He even endured the admonishment of “a gentleman stays away from the kitchen” at home. Not only did he cultivate good culinary skills, but he also entered the imperial kitchen directly.
Since he was working for the Emperor, it was not good for his family to stop him. They wanted to get him a wife as soon as possible and swindle him home. Without paying attention, he married the famous female general at that time. Most importantly, he even married into her family!
At that time, the Gu Family did not agree, but he said, “The Gu Family does not lack descendants with the surname Gu. It’s not a big deal to have me or not. The Xiao Family is loyal, so we should maintain the bloodline of the Xiao
Family.”
After that, not only did the Gu Family not make things difficult for him, but they also supported him in front of outsiders. Whenever anyone gossiped, they would be scolded by the Gu Family’s scholars who were well-read. From then on, no one dared to criticize the Gu Family’s Chang’an for marrying into the General’s Residence.
Gu Ruoruo had been very interested in this person, who was her Granduncle according to seniority, when she was young. After eating his cooking, she immediately became his little tail.
She remembered that she seemed to have seen a Qilin Pendant on Little Grandpa’s waist before. It looked very similar to the one Ning Xiaoxiao took out yesterday!
When she arrived at the General’s Residence, General Xiao had already gone to court. Gu Ruoruo went straight to the kitchen and indeed saw Little Grandpa preparing food for his wife. Seeing her come, Gu Chang’an pointed at the table. “Here, there are still a few pieces of mung bean cake for Ran’er. You can have them first.”
Gu Ruoruo leaned over and glanced at it. “Eh, there’s even a Taro Cake Roll
here..”
