The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176: 116 Drunkenness (First Watch)_3

The Gu Yan brothers didn’t return home until dusk.

Xiao Jingkong’s eyelids had been twitching since noon, and upon seeing his brother-in-law, he finally understood why he had been twitching all afternoon!

He entered the room, gazing solemnly at his brother-in-law.

Hmm, he didn’t look thinner.

Jiaojiao probably didn’t need to worry.

He then led Xiao Liulang to the backyard to pluck the jujubes from the tree.

Xiao Liulang looked up at the branches, “It’s almost September, where are the jujubes?”

Xiao Jingkong’s eyes were fixed on the top of Xiao Liulang’s head. He had previously recorded his brother-in-law’s height, barely reaching the first branch, but now he had surpassed the branch!

His brother-in-law had grown taller!

In fact, over the past two months, according to his careful observations, not only had his brother-in-law grown taller, but Brother Gu Yan and Brother Xiaoshun had also grown taller, even Jiaojiao had also grown a bit taller.

The only ones in the family who hadn’t changed were him and his grandmother.

Jiaojiao said it was because he was still young.

But Gouwa, being even younger than him, had also grown taller!

Xiao Jingkong wore a troubled expression!

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Liulang asked him.

“Ah, it’s nothing, forget about me.” Xiao Jingkong solemnly looked up at Xiao Liulang and asked, “How about you? How did you do in the exam? Was it hard? Are you confident? If you don’t pass, the family will have to provide for you for another three years!”

Xiao Liulang was completely unprepared for this, he had dodged Headmaster Li, but had not dodged the little monk…

What the hell is this familial tone?

“You even know that the exam is held every three years.” Xiao Liulang said while fondly rubbing Xiao Jingkong’s head, he handed him a freshly plucked jujube, “Here, play with it.”

Xiao Jingkong looked at the fishy little jujube in his hand and pouted.

Who wants to play? How childish!

Xiao Liulang brought gifts for the family members. For Granny, it was sesame candy and soybean crisp.

Granny was delighted!

Gu Jiao confiscated the sesame candy and limited the soybean crisp consumption to one piece a day.

Granny was upset!

The gift for Gu Yan was a round jade ink stone. He loved round things, especially those made of jade.

Gu Yan: “Thank you, brother-in-law.”

For Xiao Jingkong, it was a set of interlocking rings.

With a proud face, Xiao Jingkong took the rings, muttering “Oh, how childish,” then hid in the room to secretly solve the puzzle!

The present for Gu Xiaoshun were pieces of high-quality wood for carving. He already had enough tools, but needed good wood to work with.
