The two people's faces turned slightly red after speaking. Gu Changan chuckled lightly and turned to leave to avoid the two juniors being embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran pulled him back and said, "Why are you running? The guest list cannot be discussed together, and those names The post must be written by you."

Gu Changan didn't find it troublesome to write. After all, he came from the Gu family. His handwriting was once the best among the children of the aristocratic family. However, he gave up writing and became a cook and kept a low profile, so he was forgotten by the literary circle.

But this guest list...

The more his headache got worse, the more something came to him, Xiao Ran clenched her fist and coughed lightly: "Gu family, you have to invite me, right?"

"It's my granddaughter's birthday gift."

When she said this, Gu Changan's brows tightened even more.

"So sir, who should we invite?"

Gu Changan was silent for a long time and sighed: "Let me think about it."

This time Xiao Ran didn't stop him from leaving, but turned around to meet Xiaoxiao's curious and questioning eyes: "Okay, I should have talked to you about this."

Rong Yan was an insider, so he knew it would be a long story, so he left and went about his own business.

After Xiaoxiao sent the person away, she returned to Xiao Ran's house and brought snacks and tea with her.

Xiao Ran couldn't laugh or cry: "Are you listening to the story?"

Xiaoxiao chuckled and did not deny it. This look somewhat diluted Xiao Ran's regrets and worries.

"You also know that your father comes from the Gu family in the capital. The Gu family is a scholarly family. Even the servants in the family have to be educated and literate since childhood. Growing up in such a family, your father was also a famous talent in the capital."

"Everyone in the capital said that Gu Changan will be the youngest number one scholar in Daxia after Lu Chen, but on the day of the scientific examination, your father didn't come."

Xiaoxiao stopped chewing and corrected her sitting posture by reflex.

Xiao Ran said: "No one knows why he never showed up, but that night, your father and your grandfather had a big fight. From then on, the relationship between father and son was not very good."

"Outsiders only think that his association with Young Master Gu is because he married into the general's house, which makes Grand Scholar Gu feel disgraced. However, this is not the case."

"Although they have no contact, and although they don't talk about each other very much, whenever they encounter someone outside saying something bad about the other person, they will definitely be the first to rush forward."

At first, some people said that Gu Changan was a self-destructive person. He failed in the exam and sought wealth and wealth by marrying into his wife. In the past, the scholarly scholar Gu directly chased people to debate with his pen. That person was also a well-known student, and he was stunned by Gu Changan. The bachelor said the article was worthless on the spot, but he had no way to refute it.

Not to mention, in the morning of the second day, the always good-tempered Academician Gu made the student's biological father feel so embarrassed that he wished he could take off his hat on the spot and resign and return to his hometown.

As for Gu Changan, the only favor he asked from the emperor after he became the imperial chef was to thoroughly investigate a minister who had enriched himself, so that he ended up having his house confiscated.

Others may not know it, but Xiao Ran knows that the minister once laughed at the old scholar Gu after drinking, which made him laugh.

The Gu family's father and son are both equally stubborn and protective of their shortcomings. At the same time, they are equally at odds with each other.

Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked, "We clearly care about each other, so why are we still at a stalemate?"

Xiao Ran whispered: "I want to save face."

"Maybe they just lack an opportunity."

Xiaoxiao understood: "Mom, what you mean is that my haircut ceremony is the opportunity?"

She patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll take care of this!"

The next day, Gu Changan came to have breakfast with black eyes. He said it was because of the guest list, but no one exposed him. After dinner, Xiaoxiao volunteered: "The weather is nice today, I'll go deliver the post." .”

Gu Changan didn't think much about it: "There is no need for you to do this yourself."

The people of Daxia are open and there is no rule that women are not allowed to appear in public, especially little girls like Xiaoxiao. Children of aristocratic families can be seen wandering around on the streets of the capital.

Xiaoxiao said: "Of course it's not necessary for ordinary people, but if you have some close relationships, it's better to come to the door in person. Besides, some of my friends haven't seen each other for a long time. If you don't come to the door, you might give birth to me in the future. Angry."

Her little friend? For example, the Shen family and... Ruoruo?

Gu Changan thought of something and his eyes stayed on the breakfast, and he said "Yes" in a quiet voice.

Xiao Ran suppressed a smile and winked at her daughter. Knowing that her father was a thin-skinned girl, she would stop as soon as he liked it. After a few kisses, she stood up: "Then I'll go out first. I'm late. I'm afraid they have to go to school."

After saying that, the person disappeared. It was common for Rong Yan to eat at the General's Mansion, but today he was particularly silent. Before Xiao Ran had a chance to ask, he saw Rong Yan put down his chopsticks and stood up very politely as he watched Xiaoxiao's back walking away. After tidying up her appearance, she walked up to Xiao Ran and Gu Changan.

"After Aunt Xiao, Uncle Gu, Xiaoxiao and Hairpin, Yan'er wants to formally propose marriage, and I hope you two can make it happen."

He said: "I will definitely be kind to Xiaoxiao in the future. If I am negligent, Aunt Xiao will hit me with a sunset spear at any time. Yan'er will never dodge."

"Yan'er will not say anything that we have promised to each other, but as long as I am with you, you will never let Xiaoxiao be wronged. If you violate this promise, the sky will strike like lightning."

Xiao Ran teased him: "You said you don't know how to make an oath of love, but that's it, man."

Rong Yan's face was so red that it was bleeding. Although he felt that Aunt Xiao and Uncle Gu would not refuse, he was still very nervous and nervous at the moment.

It was Gu Changan who helped him up, patted his shoulder and said.

"We have to wait at least three years before we get married. We have been separated for many years, and we are still reluctant to let her get married too early."

Rong Yan nodded vigorously: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, Yan'er will abide by etiquette, love and respect her."

After saying that, he added: "Besides, ahem, and the Third Prince's Mansion is near the General's Mansion. Even if we get married, Xiaoxiao will not leave you."

"Yan'er will respect Aunt Xiao and Uncle Gu as biological parents!"

In the whole world, only Xiao Ran dares to say such words: "Okay! I also treat you as my own son!"

The emperor sneezed several times before going to court, and his mood suddenly became bad.

"Dezi, who else will sing praises to the prince during the morning court, please note them all for me. I want to see how many people in the court are not won over by the Yan family!"

The prince was his son, and he had established it himself, so even if the prince was a little anxious and overdone, the emperor could forgive him, but he couldn't bear the fact that the Yan family covered the sky with one hand every day.

In the court hall, the Yan family would say what the ministers wanted them to say, and they could immediately shut up if they didn't want them to say anything. The look in Yan's eyes seemed to be more effective than the emperor's golden words.

He originally had no interest in today's morning meeting, until last night, he opened the folder where Rong Yan reported on the progress of his delegation in Xijiang County.
