“Alright, it depends on your preferences.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
He himself had no interest in an official career, so he would not have any requirements for him.
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Chenglin walked in and was stunned when he saw Gu Chengxi.
Gu Chengrui stood up and introduced them to each other.
The two of them had met each other when they were young, so they immediately recognized each other after his introduction.
After a few polite words, Gu Chenglin realized that Gu Chengxi was almost a head taller than him. He immediately said indignantly, “If I remember correctly, Brother Chengxi is two years older than me. I didn’t expect you to be so tall now.”
“I only started growing in the past two years.” Gu Chengxi replied.
“Don’t be envious. You’re almost there, too.
“Regardless of gender, anyone will develop rapidly from 12 to 14 years old, and there will be a period of voice change, just like Chengxi now.” When Gu Chengrui said this, he gave them a simple explanation about p.u.b.erty.
“So, you have to study hard and stop thinking about getting a wife.”
“Wait until after twenty to consider it.”
His words made the two boys blush.
Gu Chengrui saw this and added, “You guys continue chatting. I have to tidy up the house. Otherwise, I won’t be able to sleep well tonight.”
After saying that, he got up and climbed onto the brick bed. First, he carefully checked it. After ensuring there were no rat holes, he removed a blanket from the cabinet.
He had wanted to hang it out to dry, but he was surprised when he noticed that the blanket had obviously just been cleaned. Moreover, it looked like it had been washed recently. It was spotless.
He took it out and laid it on the bed.
After finishing that, he unpacked his gifts and planned to bring them to the old residence. He turned to the two brothers, who were still chatting. “Let’s go and see Grandma.”
“If we go now, do I need to change my clothes?” Gu Chenglin said.
“No need. Your clothes aren’t dirty. Let’s go.”
When they heard this, the two boys immediately grabbed their things and walked out.
Gu Chengrui locked the door and followed.
Gu Chengye, who was drinking tea in the living room, greeted them as he saw them enter. “You’re here. Grandma is waiting for you in the room.”
“Mhm, let’s go together.” Gu Chengrui nodded, then turned around and walked straight to the east room.
Madam Qiao heard the sounds and immediately came out with a walking stick. “It’s too dark in the room. Let’s talk outside.”
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he could only let Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengxi put the things on the table.
Madam Qiao grabbed Gu Chenglin’s hand and said excitedly, “You must be Chenglin. I didn’t expect you to be so big now.”
Gu Chenglin was a little uncomfortable initially, but when he saw the tears in her eyes, he was stunned and smiled. “Grandma, it’s me. I heard that you’re not feeling well. How are you feeling now? Are you cold?”
“I’m fine. Now that the weather is warm, my body is much lighter.” Madam Qiao said.
“That’s good. Cousin Brother and I brought back a lot of delicious food for you this time, especially your favorite apples, pears, and thousand-layer pastries.”
“Good, good. Good child, you still remember what grandma likes to eat.” Madam Qiao nodded repeatedly and wiped her tears at the same time.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he went forward and said, “Grandma, they’re living well now. One pa.s.sed the scholar examination, and the other entered the palace to become Consort Xian. You should be happy.”
“Grandma, don’t cry. You’re making me want to cry too.” Gu Chenglin replied helplessly.
“No, I’m just too happy. Seeing that all of you are living well, I’m happy for your mother.” Madam Qiao took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears..
