Traveling through ancient times

After the meal, the brother and sister went out of their respective spaces to rest!

In a daze, Gu Dalian heard voices downstairs outside, and a woman asked:

"Boss, one of the rooms with the word 'Di' on it! One of the rooms with the word 'Ren' on it!"

Then the shopkeeper responded:

"Sir, we only have two rooms with the word 'Di' in our store. They are full. How about the room with the word 'Ren'?"

Then a slightly neutral voice said:

"Just the shape of a human. We are all tired from traveling. Let someone feed the horses some hay. We will go and rest first!"

Then I heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs!

In fact, this room is quite far away, but her ears and eyes are very sharp, and the slightest movement will be magnified to her!

There was the sound of the door creaking, then the sound of the waiter coming upstairs to deliver water, then the sound of footsteps coming downstairs, and after half a quarter of an hour, it slowly became quiet!

At dawn, Gu Dalian woke up!

I stretched and prepared to get out of bed, when I heard Yuzhu walk to the bedside, lift the curtain and say:

"Master, it's raining outside. Should we continue on our journey?"

Gu Dalian took the coat from Yuzhu and put it on, walked to the window and half opened it!

A damp and cold feeling hit me in the face. The rain was not heavy, but continuous and very gentle!

"The rain won't stop any time soon. It's not heavy. We'll leave after dinner!"

When I went downstairs, there were already two tables occupied and waiting for their food to be served!

Gu Dalian looked at one of the tables. There was a woman in her forties with her hair combed meticulously with white silk clipped at the roots. She was wearing a long black jacket that was 70% new. She was pouring tea for the woman sitting there!

The woman was also about forty years old, with straight eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and skin as white as jade. She was wearing a dark green short jacket with a side collar and a horse-faced skirt of the same color. Although she was sitting, one could still tell that she had a very good figure!

Although he is old, his eyes are gentle but full of wisdom!

Gu Dalian looked at her in a friendly way and stared at her twice more. Perhaps because he was a fan of beauty, he thought this woman looked heroic and a bit like a fairy character in a fairy tale drama!

The woman felt the intense gaze, looked up, and was suddenly stunned, with a look of disbelief in her eyes!

Gradually he calmed down and said with a smile:

"My friend, have you not eaten yet? The journey is long, and it is fate that we meet. Can we share a table?..."

The kind tone made people feel close to him. Gu Dalian did not shy away and walked closer with a smile:

"Thank you, sister. Meeting you on this journey is fate. I'm welcome!"

Yuzhu hurriedly pulled out a chair beside her, and Gu Dalian sat down. She had already seen the flash of surprise in the woman's eyes, so there must be a reason!

The woman listened to Gu Dalian and said with a smile:

"You are such a sweet-tongued kid, your words are so pleasant to listen to! I am not young anymore, I cannot be your elder sister, just call me Aunt Feng!"

"Let the shopkeeper tell you what you want to eat!"

"Aunt Feng looks so young. If we go out, who would dare to say that we are of different generations?"

Feng Qinglan clenched his fist, put it to his lips and chuckled:

"You are such a happy kid. If the Feng family had a nephew like you, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night..."

Seeing her sad face, Gu Dalian said with a smile:

"What did Aunt Feng order? I almost ordered some. This way, I can eat yours and you can eat mine, which is more interesting!"

"I can't eat greasy food in the morning, so I ordered pumpkin millet porridge, a steamed bun, and a fried dough stick!"

Gu Dalian then called out, "Boss, what else do you have for breakfast?"

The shopkeeper smiled, and the mole under his chin trembled:

"Miss, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, dumplings, wontons, sauce-flavored cakes, pumpkin millet porridge, spicy soup, soy milk, what do you want to eat?"

"Then I'll have a portion of soy sauce pancake, a portion of soy milk, and some side dishes!"

"Good..."

Then the waiter will pass the message!

"Yuzhu, you and the others should go eat too, don't worry about me here!"

After Gu Dalian finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Lun, and asked hurriedly:

"Why hasn't Lun come down yet?"

Li Qiu came over and said:

"Master, the young master went out with Master Hu and Xia Ye. He said that spring rain is as precious as oil, and he wanted to go out and feel it!"

"The young master told you not to worry, they will be back soon and won't delay the trip! Lixia is with them, so nothing will happen!"

Gu Dalian smiled:

"Your young master didn't go to feel the spring rain, he went to enjoy the snacks here!"

Several people started laughing!

The maid next to Feng Qinglan turned over another upside-down teacup on the porcelain plate, poured half a cup of tea into it, pinched the bottom and shook the tea, then poured it to one side, and then filled it seven-tenths full and handed it to Gu Dalian!

Gu Dalian was very satisfied, smiled and thanked her. The old woman bowed slightly and stood aside!

"Awei, you don't need to wait on me anymore, go and eat!"

The old woman responded and retreated!

"Girl, where are you going?" Feng Qinglan asked gently!

"Fucheng!"

"Oh? Are you going home or to live with your relatives?"

Gu Dalian smiled in her heart, this is just a step-by-step trick!

"I'm not going home, nor am I going to live with my relatives. I want to go to the capital to see if there is any suitable business to do!"

Feng Qinglan saw that this girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was actually doing business. She probably had few male members in her family, so she had to wear armor and go into battle. He couldn't help but feel pity for her:

"You are such a young child, and your parents are not afraid to let you go out. Sigh, it's really..."

"Aunt Feng, my parents have passed away, and we are the only ones who depend on each other... But I am very good at business!"

Feng Qinglan saw that this girl had bright eyes and white teeth, a small face the size of a palm with a dimple on each side when she smiled, and fair skin that was as smooth as a baby's. She liked him no matter how she looked at him!

Then he reached out and took Gu Dalian's hand and said:

"Girl, please accept me as your grandmother!"

Gu Dalian's eyes suddenly widened:

This is too exciting. The first time we meet, she wants to be my grandma... Hmm..., this Aunt Feng is somewhat similar to my grandma in my previous life... It seems like it would be nice to have someone who loves me!

Gu Dalian was overjoyed and held Feng Qinglan's hand:

"Really? That old grandma beat my mom to death, killed my dad, and has been mistreating us brothers and sisters since I can remember. If I call you grandma, will you be nice to me?"

Feng Qinglan's heart suddenly ached. Looking at the girl's surprised eyes, his heart softened. He patted her hand and said:

"Silly girl, since I acknowledge you, I will naturally treat you as my own granddaughter. From now on, grandma will love you well!"

Gu Dalian did not lie. She moved the stool away and knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times, and shouted:

"Grandma, please accept my granddaughter's greetings!"

Feng Qinglan didn't expect this girl to kneel down and kowtow. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He quickly helped her up and they sat down again!

He took off the jade bracelet on his hand and put it on Gu Dalian's fair wrist, smiling:

"This bracelet is most suitable for little girls. It really suits you. Just wear it like this!"

Gu Dalian was shocked. This jade bracelet was crystal clear and smooth, with a very bright color. It must be very expensive!
