What he couldn't bear to part with the most was his sister.

She was only five years old and too naughty. She didn't like being restrained and liked to run around. He was really afraid that something would happen to her when he was not around. He was so far away that he couldn't do anything.

But there are many people in the family, they will definitely watch over her, and the emperor also likes her very much, so nothing serious should happen. But she still feels reluctant to let her go.

Gu Xu, who usually never showed his emotions, actually had moist eyes.

Jin Ruoyun held him tightly and reluctantly, and kept giving him instructions.

"Xu'er, if you need anything when you get there, just write home and I'll have someone deliver it to you. Don't let Shuhe and the children down."

This was the first time that the boss had been away from her for such a long time. She didn’t know when they would meet again, maybe three years, maybe five years, or maybe even longer.

However, when the child grows up and wants to seek his own future, she, as a mother, will do her best to support him, but she can't help feeling reluctant.

Gu Xu looked at the long row of carriages behind him. The things loaded on them were enough for him to use for two lifetimes.

He comforted Jin Ruoyun for a few words, and Jin Yuanyuan said again: "Brother, brother, I also brought you a lot of medicine."

"I also copied a lot of books myself. You can read them when you are free. And there is more! I brought you a box of medicine, although you are different from your second brother and don't have to go to the battlefield."

"But you have to be careful. If you or your sister-in-law or nephew gets sick, those are life-saving medicines. I have written down the instructions on them. You must keep them safe."

[In order to do this, I stayed up for several sleepless nights just copying books. Now my handwriting has improved a lot, I will definitely be able to understand it. The books are full of articles that can help the world, and they are all valuable advice. I hope they will be useful to you when you become an official.]

These books were brought from the world she had traveled to before, and several of them were very well written.

Very literary, she has read it several times and found that the human brain is irreplaceable and human wisdom is endless!

Hearing his sister's thoughts, Gu Xu became much more serious.

"Don't worry, Yuanyuan. I will keep it well and study the book carefully. I will never let you down."

He hugged her with sadness in his eyes. When he came back next time, his sister would have grown up. It was a pity that he couldn't always be with her and watch her grow up.

The three brothers Gu Ci and Gu An talked for a long time, and Jin Ruoyun also took Duan Shuhe aside and gave him a lot of instructions.

The family of three left amidst everyone's reluctance, and everyone kept looking away until they could no longer see their shadows.

Jin Yuanyuan took a last look in the direction they were leaving, wiped away her tears and went home.

------------------

Time quickly passed and ten years later, the fifteen-year-old Jin Yuanyuan had grown up and become a beautiful young lady.

"Miss Jin, my master invites you to go outing with him to his farm. Young Master Chen and your Third Young Master will also be going with him."

After Ruan Qi finished speaking, he waited for Jin Yuanyuan's reply.

Jin Yuanyuan put down the brush and looked up at him, "My third brother? He still has to look after the shop. These few days are the month-end settlement days. Why is he going?"

"I've become a donkey pulling a millstone, and you still won't let me go out for a walk!"

Gu An's voice came from outside the yard, his eyes full of resentment.

He has grown up, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He looks almost enlarged in proportion to his childhood, and his personality has not changed much.

Jiuanyuan and Yanzhipu, Jin Yuanyuan opened many branches in the past ten years, all of which were managed by Gu An and her.

At the beginning, Cheng Che forced Gu An to practice martial arts and study literature, but no matter how hard he studied, he just couldn't grasp the essence of it.

In the end, Jin Ruoyun and his wife gave up and simply let him go into business with Yuanyuan. The two of them managed to do quite well.

Jin Yuanyuan thought about how he was often lazy and gave him the account book, and touched his nose guiltily.

"I didn't say that you can't go, Third Brother. Of course I'm happy if you go with me. Come, have some fruit. Don't be angry. This is sent by He Linyuan. He said it was produced on his farm. This is where we are going this time."

Gu An took it proudly and swallowed it in one gulp.

It tasted good, so he forgave it for now.

He sat down next to Jin Yuanyuan, picked up the words she had written and looked at them, his mouth pursed until it was so pouty that an oil pot could be hung on it.

"Your handwriting is getting better and better. Dad compares you with me every day, which makes me feel weird. I am a man, so if I want to compare, I should compare with my elder brother and second brother. Why do I always compare with girls? Do you expect me to embroider or play the piano?!"

"Don't say that. You've never beaten me in anything else. Whether it's the Imperial College exam or the Six Arts, I'm better than you."

As she grew older, she was able to demonstrate these talents as well.

She was already proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, namely music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ten years later, she could display these abilities in front of others without being suspected.

The most talented woman in Kyoto right now is Jin Yuanyuan.

When she grew up, she inherited Jin Ruoyun's beauty and was gorgeous and beautiful. Jin Ruoyun had the graceful and quiet beauty of a woman, while Jin Yuanyuan had a touch of unrestrainedness that was not typical of a lady from an official family, which made her particularly charming.

Her every move was captivating. She had outstanding talents and a prominent family background. She was also at the age to get married. Many men came to propose to her, but Jin Ruoyun rejected them all. She announced that Jin Yuanyuan should choose her own husband, and she respected her children very much and let them choose for themselves.

Now Jin Ruoyun and Cheng Che often go out traveling, just like Jin Chi and his wife, and rarely take care of the affairs of the mansion. Now the Jin mansion is managed by Ji Wanning.

Jin Yuanyuan was just telling her that she was going out to play, and Ji Wanning was very worried about her.

"Are you going far? Yuanyuan, you guys are all grown up. It's really not appropriate for you to go on a long journey with a man alone."

"It's okay, it's okay. We're going with our third brother, so no one will talk about it. Besides, we're going to He Linyuan's own manor, so there won't be many people there."

"Aunt, my most beautiful, beloved, and charming aunt, please~"

Jin Yuanyuan shook her arm and acted coquettishly. The girl had a charming face and a clear and moving voice. Ji Wanning had no choice but to agree.

After getting permission, she ran faster than a rabbit. Before leaving, she leaned against the door and said with a bright smile:

"Don't worry, aunt. I will bring back some delicious fruits. I will think of you first if I have anything good. I am leaving now."

Ji Wanning laughed, "You, I really can't do anything to you."

After getting permission to travel far away, Jin Yuanyuan and Gu An ran out with their bags without saying a word to find He Linyuan and the others.

When Jin Yuanyuan grew up, she no longer had the convenience of running around the streets like she did when she was a child, but her love of going out and playing remained unchanged.

Although she could go to the store every day to check the accounts and manage the store, it was all work in Kyoto and she rarely traveled far.

Because of this, she was looking forward to this long journey.
