Chapter 90: Ouyang Xuan Suddenly Returned
"The habits formed in youth, at that time, our wet nurse would tell us that playing leaf cards was fine, we could secretly play with the servants in private, but it must not be seen by others. After getting married, and with the feudal system abolished... as family members spread across different places, no one would actually care about playing leaf cards anymore." Old Mrs. Gu smiled helplessly and set the leaf cards aside.
Sister Sun stood up from her chair and gathered up the scattered leaf cards on the table.
Old Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Fuqiao and said, "Ah Jiao, how come you’re back now? Where’s your Yan Zhen Guo?"
Gu Fuqiao smiled and said, "He’s out on a mission, won’t be back in a couple of days. I missed you too, Grandma, so I just came back to keep you company." After speaking, Gu Fuqiao took off her shoes and got up on the chair.
The chair Old Mrs. Gu was sitting on was quite long, somewhat resembling an ancient soft couch, looking like it was an old piece of furniture.
Gu Fuqiao moved behind Old Mrs. Gu, massaging her shoulders, and said, "Grandma, I haven’t come back to see you for so many days. Did you miss me? Did you miss me?"
Old Mrs. Gu, who didn’t have a daughter and only had this one granddaughter, naturally doted on her. Although her facial expression remained normal, inwardly she was overjoyed. "Miss you? As if! Speak properly."
Gu Fuqiao knew Old Mrs. Gu liked her to act spoiled, so she didn’t point it out and nodded obediently, saying, "Yes, Old Madam Gu."
"Ah Jiao, how are you doing with the things you took back to study last time from here?" Old Mrs. Gu had always been concerned about Gu Fuqiao’s studies.
Gu Fuqiao nodded and said, "Grandma, I’ve looked at all those questions. I think I should be about ready, but with the college entrance exams next year, it seems like I still have plenty of time."
