A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on

"Is this the last great gift?" The emperor looked at the weapon in Gu Can's hand.

"That's right. This thing is called Yuanrong Crossbow. I also saw it in ancient books. It contains fifteen small arrows and can be fired continuously. It has a long range, is easy to aim, and is convenient to operate. Even an ordinary child can operate it." Gu Can aimed the crossbow at a tree outside the courtyard gate.

With a few "whoosh" sounds, five arrows were shot out in succession.

Seeing the flag signal, all five arrows penetrated the tree from the same spot, piercing the trunk of this tree, which required two people to hug it. This also shows the power of the arrows.

Then a young eunuch picked up the arrow.

"This is too small. It's so powerful." The emperor picked up an arrow and couldn't help but marvel. Then he stretched out his hand, and Gu Can tactfully placed the crossbow in his hand.

The emperor quickly figured out how to use it and shot several arrows in quick succession.

"Hahahaha, good, good, great, everything today has opened my eyes. What reward do you want?" The emperor was very pleased.

"These are all my duties. If the Emperor truly wishes to reward me, I will ask for an imperial decree on my mother's behalf."

"Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes."

"it is good."

After the court meeting, Gu Can was still working in the Ministry of Works, and the angel had already arrived at Gu's house.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

Madam Feng, diligent and docile, with a gentle nature and good parenting, is hereby canonized as a third-rank lady. I hope you will…” The following words sounded like blah blah blah to Feng Xiao. Only after Gu Wenlu reminded him did he complete the series of actions to express gratitude and reward.

"I, how come I was granted an imperial decree. Master, I, I." After sending the angel away, Feng Xiao held the imperial edict in his hands, stunned. He was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

"They say you're a good parent. It must be because of Cancan. I just asked her quietly, and she said that our Cancan did something remarkable, and the emperor wanted to reward her, so she asked for an imperial decree for you." Gu Wenlu felt a little sad. Did his daughter no longer love him?

"This child, the emperor's reward, why would she give it to me? She just entered the court and finally got the appreciation, how could she give it to me?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Wenlu looked around and fortunately someone had been sent away long ago.

"The imperial decree has been issued. This is a great thing. Don't speak carelessly and bring disaster to Cancan."

"I know. I'm just too happy. Yes, yes, yes. I never thought I'd be granted an imperial decree in my life. Are we going to have a banquet? Our family is an imperial merchant, and we don't interact with the ladies of high-ranking families. If we rashly send an invitation, they won't come."

"Don't worry, wait for Cancan to come back and ask her. We don't understand these people's taboos. As long as we don't hold Cancan back, it will be fine."

"Yes, our Cancan is smart and ambitious. When Third Uncle saw that I was in poor health after giving birth to Cancan, he wanted to adopt his two little grandsons into our family. Those brats are no match for our Cancan!" Feng Xiao said. Holding the imperial edict in his hand, he was so proud.

"Yes, no one can compare to our Cancan. I will protect you and your mother for the rest of my life."

"Let's find a live-in son-in-law for Cancan as soon as possible, so that she can give birth to a grandson for us to play with." Feng Xiao looked at Gu Wenlu. They had been discussing this for a long time. However, Gu Can had been concentrating on the imperial examination, and they didn't want to distract her.

"Let's wait and see. Cancan has just entered the court and has caught the prince's eye. We can't afford to make any mistakes now. We can't just invite people home. What if they are people with ulterior motives? That would harm Cancan. Xiaoxiao, I said I will protect you and your mother. What does it matter if it's incense or not? The Gu family has plenty of people."

"I know. After all these years, I have never regretted marrying you."

Gu Can was now in the limelight for a while, especially after hearing the imperial edict, which spread throughout the streets and alleys in an instant.

"Everyone says it's better to have a son, but look at Gu Zhuangyuan, he's better than a hundred sons."

"It's better to expect your daughter to succeed than to expect a man to ennoble his wife and children!"

"You can't say that. It's been ten years since the Emperor issued the decree allowing women to take the imperial examinations, and there has only been one female champion. That's all thanks to Gu Zhuangyuan's ability."

"Since ancient times, there have been so many men who have passed the imperial examinations, but how many have sought imperial decrees for their mothers? How many men would be willing to exchange their own achievements for their mothers' imperial decrees? Raising a son is really worse than raising a dog, bah!"

I have to say that no matter which world, the aunties of that era were a special group. They had sharp eyes and were well-informed!

Gu Can hasn't even resigned yet, but the cause and effect of this imperial edict have already been spread all over the world, and everyone knows about it!

"Well, they were all born on the same day of the same month of the same year. Gu Can was the top scholar. Although Gu Xiangzhi's flowery words displeased the emperor, a closer look reveals that she is also a talented writer, and her calligraphy is second to none. Look at you, you focus on business all day long. How come our Tai Shi Mansion has someone like you who doesn't like to study?" Tai Shi Gu's second son looked at his own son.

Really, even dogs dislike it! How can you be so disappointing?

"Dad, no matter how envious you are, she is someone else's daughter. You will never have the fate of having a caring little cotton-padded jacket in your life. Hehe." Gu Pingqiao smiled naively.

"Go, go, go! If your mother knew that Gu Can had asked for an imperial decree for her mother, she would have no idea how she would have quarreled with you. You should not..."

"What imperial edict? Gu Can, who is that?" Gu Tongguang hadn't expected his wife to suddenly come over. Gu Pingqiao's smile faded. He could sense that his mother didn't like him. When he was young, he almost died because of his mother's neglect. His grandmother couldn't bear it and took him in, so he could grow up safely.

"Why are you here? You haven't been out for a long time, but you have something to talk to me about?" Gu Tongguang signaled Gu Pingqiao to leave.

"Tell me who Gu Can is and who she is!"

"Gu Can is the daughter of the imperial merchant Gu family. Didn't you have a good relationship with Feng in the past? She was born in our house. Later, their family moved to Jiangnan and lost contact." Seeing her like this, Gu Tongguang did not hide it from her. The more he hid it from her, the crazier she became.

"It's her. She is actually the top scorer in the imperial examination. She also asked for an imperial decree for Feng." Yang Min said while pulling Gu Tongguang.

"That Feng is not worthy. I am Gu Can's mother. Who is Feng? She can only give birth to such a thing with a head full of the smell of money!" Yang Min looked at Gu Pingqiao with disgust.

"What did you say?!" Gu Tongguang couldn't believe what he heard.

"I said, he is not our son at all. Gu Can is our daughter. Our daughter is the top scholar, so I should be the lady of honor!" Yang Min shouted.

"I think you've gone mad! You're so greedy for an imperial decree that you can even say such things." Gu Tongguang was so angry that he laughed. Yang Min was a lady from a prominent family, and their marriage was sweet. Then, after three years of childlessness, the Gu family didn't push her. Instead, she found a lot of medicine to take.

The Gu family members all advised her that having a child was a matter of fate and that she shouldn't overeat to the point of harming her health. She became paranoid, feeling that everyone looked down on her and despised her. Later, after giving birth to Gu Pingqiao, she hated him and nearly killed him several times, forcing her to send him to the old lady's orphanage.

The Gu family's rules dictate that one can only marry one wife in a lifetime. Gu Tongguang called a doctor and learned that Yang Min was ill. As long as she didn't see Gu Pingqiao, she would act like a normal person and she took the initiative to request a separation from the family. In the past, he would take time out every day to secretly go back to accompany his son. Now that he is a doctor at the Imperial College, he can see his son often.

Gu Pingqiao wasn't as useless as he said. Compared to Gu Can, there were many people in the world who wouldn't lose. As for Gu Xiangzhi, he was just saying that. If we really compared her, she couldn't even get into the Imperial College!

"No, I'm not talking nonsense, she is my daughter!" Yang Min shouted loudly, and all the passing students heard it. There were more than just the two of them in the yard.
