Traveling through ancient times

"Grandma, this is too precious. I'm just a little girl..."

Before Gu Dalian could finish her words, Feng Qinglan stopped her:

"Take it if it's given to you. You can't refuse a gift from an elder!"

Without saying anything more and just saying thank you, Gu Dalian took out a sparkling diamond ring and put it on Feng Qinglan's middle finger!

"Grandma, this is our little toy. Let me wear it and play with it!"

This diamond ring is one of the diamonds Qin Mo gave her. It is neither the biggest nor the smallest, but it is the one she spent the longest time studying!

The diamond is the size of a little fingernail and is surrounded by a circle of colorful corals, which is gorgeous and dazzling!

Feng Qinglan is a connoisseur of goods. Although he has never seen this diamond before, he can recognize coral. Although it is only the size of a grain of rice, it has seven colors and is extraordinary. Although the sky is dark today, the gem in the middle is reflected by the coral, and it is colorful and dazzling!

"Girl, this ring is so beautiful. No, grandma can't have it. It's too expensive!"

Looking at the big gold diamond ring, Feng Qinglan knew that it was as valuable as the jade bracelet she had given away!

Gu Dalian frowned and pouted:

"Grandma, I'm afraid you don't like the gift from your granddaughter! If that's the case, I don't have anything suitable to give to you, so I'll give this jade bracelet back to you!"

She was about to take off the jade bracelet, and Feng Qinglan was so anxious that she quickly held her wrist and said:

"Okay, okay, okay, how can a grandmother dislike something given by her granddaughter? The food is cold, let's eat quickly!"

Gu Dalian was delighted that she had found such a kind grandmother. She could actually taste like delicacies from land and sea while having a simple breakfast!

After breakfast and rinsing their mouths, the two sat downstairs waiting for the people who went out to come back!

Gu Dalian thought a lot and decided to accept Feng Qinglan. Firstly, she felt that they were compatible, and also because of the surname Feng, the first time Grandma Feng saw her, it was as if she saw an old friend. Perhaps, it had a lot to do with Prime Minister Feng!

"Grandma, from now on you can just call me Dalian. You can also call me Dalianer!"

"We have an older brother named Gu Wenxuan, who is a captain of a thousand men in the northern border. Our second brother, Gu Wenzhi, will take part in the provincial examination in a few days!"

"My younger sister, Gu Xiaolian, is very sensible. I also have a younger brother, Gu Lun, who is six years old this year and very smart. We'll be meeting him soon!"

Gu Dalian said so much in one breath so that Feng Qinglan could have a deeper impression first!

"Oh, there are people in your family who are good at literature, martial arts, and business. Not bad, not bad. It seems that you brothers and sisters can grow up in the face of setbacks. You are a man of integrity!"

Gu Qinglan was happy to hear this!

"That's right. Back then, my mother was hit to death by my grandmother with a fire stick, and my father fell to his death. My eldest brother went to the military camp, saying that he wanted to earn military merit to protect us!..."

"...We had nothing to eat or drink and could only watch helplessly, without even the thought of swallowing our saliva...But now it's good, we have severed our relationship with them, and we no longer have to worry about someone poisoning us!"

Gu Dalian told Feng Qinglan what happened at home as if she was telling a story, and Feng Qinglan was so frightened that her heart was in a knot that she felt like she couldn't breathe!

"This family is so filthy and cruel, even worse than those wealthy families! Poor children..."

Seeing that Feng Qinglan was too excited, Gu Dalian hurriedly poured a sip of tea, quietly dropped a drop of the jade liquid on it, and gave it to Feng Qinglan to drink. Only then did Feng Qinglan calm down!

Gu Dalian thought: If I had known that grandma would be so excited, I would have done it step by step. It really scared the baby to death!

"...Big sister...should we set off now? I bought you your favorite date cake!"

Gu Lun skipped into the hall with two bags of pastries in his hands. Seeing that there was someone sitting next to his sister, he quickly stopped smiling and bowed politely!

"Hello, auntie!"

"Okay, okay, you're just a little honeypot like your sister!"

Feng Qinglan liked it and waved:

"Come here, let grandma take a look, it's also a pleasing sight!"

After thinking about it, he called Awei over, took out a purse, and took out a thumb-sized amber from it!

"Grandma doesn't have any good toys, so you can play with this!"

It was really a generous gift. This was a green amber with a small butterfly inside, flapping its wings and ready to fly. It was extremely beautiful. Gu Lun looked at his sister and saw Gu Dalian nod, so he took it with both hands and bowed respectfully:

"Thank you grandma for your reward!"

Feng Qinglan admired it even more, and seeing the maids and servants waiting at the door, she said:

"It's time for us to set off. You and your brother can get in my car!"

The two of them got into the carriage together without any hesitation!

The configuration of this car is not much different from theirs. Awei and the driver sat on the shaft of the car. Gu Dalian's eyes moved:

"Grandma, it's raining outside. Mammy might get cold outside. We are not strangers, so please let Mammy come in!"

Feng Qinglan looked at Gu Dalian tenderly, holding her hand and smiling:

"You are a good girl, Awei, did you hear that? Come in quickly, we are master and servant outside, there is no need for so many formalities!"

Ah Wei didn't show it on her face, but she was grateful in her heart. She lifted the curtain and sat inside, nodding and thanking him:

"Thank you Miss Sun for your pity!"

Gu Dalian called Li Qiu over again:

"Go get two sets of our special raincoats for the two drivers!"

Li Qiu took it and taught the two to put it on. It covered their whole bodies and was both rainproof and light!

"You are such a smart girl. This thing is a rare item even in rich families!"

The carriage had already started. Feng Qinglan saw half of the driver's body through the curtain. Normally, he wore a straw raincoat, and the rain would always get half of his clothes wet when it fell on the exposed clothes. But today, the raincoat covered him tightly. Feng Qinglan couldn't help but sigh!

When Gu Dalian heard this, she had another idea, but she just kept it in mind first!

Along the way, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed, so the journey was not too boring. After walking for more than two hours, the carriage stopped and everyone came out to stretch their muscles!

Qi Huli came over and said:

"Master, there are few people here, I'm afraid everyone will have to make do with what they eat!"

Gu Dalian saw Feng Qinglan was accompanied by Aunt Awei to find a place to relieve herself. There was no one around. She poked her forehead and said:

"Greedy cat, how do you want to eat?"

As he said that, he went to the loading cart, took out a handful of spinach, a box of instant noodles, two pounds of eggs, unpacked ham, and handed them to Qi Huli:

"Here, let's make do with it!"

"Sister, I suddenly want to eat the shrimp dumplings you made!"

Eldest sister has been very busy recently. Gu Lun hasn’t eaten the food cooked by her for some days and misses her so much!

"Okay, I'll make it for you when I have time!"

Gu Dalian readily agreed:

"However, Lun'er, you can't just play on the way. When you get to the capital, your second brother will ask you about your knowledge. If you can't answer, it will be embarrassing!"

"The child has been bumpy on the road, so don't let him read. He's too young to read and it might damage his eyes!"

Feng Qinglan came back accompanied by Nanny Awei at this time, and looked at Gu Lun lovingly!

Gu Lun hurriedly ran over and leaned over, looking up like a little puppy and said:

"Grandma is so kind to me. Reading in the carriage makes me dizzy!"
