1848 Chapter 1848-toast
Just like before, Yang Shi hugged Gu Xin gently and said, ” it’s good that you’re back.
Fourth uncle Gu was the most reserved of the four Gu brothers. When he saw his niece coming back, he didn’t say much, but you could see the happiness on his face.
After the small talk, they sat down to eat.
Only Cheng huaijin and Princess Sarlin had never been to the Gu residence. The others were all old acquaintances of the Gu family.
Cheng huaijin was a child recognized by the Gu family, and Princess Sarlin was curious about everything about the great Zhou Dynasty, so the two of them were not at all restrained.
Cheng huaijin had tasted authentic great Zhou’s delicacies that he had not tasted for a long time. He also drank the strong liquor that Xue Qianyu and Lu Zheng often told him about his second uncle. He was very satisfied.
As for Princess Sarlin, she was too happy. She even wanted to be the daughter or daughter-in-law of the Gu family. These things were really delicious, and she couldn’t bear to leave!
She couldn’t be a daughter, but what about a wife?
She looked at the serious and unsmiling Gu en and sighed in her heart. Then, she looked at Gu Ren who was feeding the little princess and continued to sigh. As for the little brothers of the Gu family who were being fed by their nanny, forget it, she did not need to look at them!
Gu Xin was 16 years old this year. Uncle Gu was in a good mood and asked her to drink, ” “Come, come, come, little Xinxin, you’re someone who can raise a thousand soldiers, what can you do without drinking? I’ll teach you how to drink!”
Grandpa and Grandma Gu didn’t object to it, but she was only allowed to drink three glasses.
After grumbling for a long time, uncle Gu fell silent after being glared at by grandma Gu.
Gu Xin poured herself a glass of wine. First, she toasted the elders in the family, then to her brothers and sisters. Finally, she walked to Cheng huaijin with the glass of wine.
“Brother, this is for you. If it wasn’t for the fact that the older brother still remembered the younger sister and saved her, who knew what kind of danger the younger sister would have encountered. Brother, you don’t have to say anything. I will only say this once more. Today, I will invite my family to bear witness. From now on, I, Gu Xin, will be Cheng huaijin’s biological sister. Let’s drink first!” After Gu Xin finished speaking, she raised her head and finished her drink.
Cheng huaijin was not a long-winded person. Since Gu Xin drank it so readily, and the Gu family was good to Brother Yun, they were also good to him. No matter how much he said, it would seem like they were acting distant. He picked up the glass and drank it.
After Cheng huaijin drank it, uncle Gu didn’t give him a chance to speak and pulled him to his side. “This is the eldest son that little Xinxin tricked for second brother, my big nephew. Come, come, come, little Xinxin drank three cups. Big nephew, you can’t possibly only drink three cups! Come and drink with first uncle and fourth uncle!”
Cheng huaijin didn’t have the chance to refuse, but the wine was quite good. He was very cooperative and accompanied the elders of the Gu family to drink.
The whole family was gathered together, especially Gu Ren and little Ming Yue. The two little guys were very curious about Gu Xin’s situation in the West. They asked one another and it was very lively.
Gu Xin answered all her questions. Sometimes, when it came to extremely dangerous things, she would explain them in a light tone. It was all in the past, so if she said too much, her family would be worried.
However, other than uncle and aunt Gu, the rest of the Gu family were not stupid. How could they not have thought of the hardships that Gu Xin had gone through? especially when Cheng huaijin added a few words from time to time, and Princess Sarlin added on what she had heard about the fierceness of the cloud Sea tribe and the shako tribe in the West. Everyone’s heart ached for Gu Xin.
That night, everyone chatted until very late before going to bed.
