"I, Gu Liang, greet you, sir."

"Gu Liang, Zhao Long and the others have returned. We still need to make long-term plans for the matter of Tongcheng. If you follow us into the city, you may need to disguise yourself."

"My Lord, I am very grateful for your willingness to take me in. However, Cancan is still young, so how should I dress her?"

"Cancan has changed almost every day these days. Once she changes her clothes and hairstyle, I guarantee they won't recognize her. If you agree, I want to adopt her as my daughter and declare her my daughter. Naturally, no one will dare to inquire." Liu Fengan twirled his fingers nervously and expectantly. Hurry up, hurry up, agree! He wanted a sweet, soft, smart little girl.

"..." The abacus beads popped onto his face. Master Sun looked at Gu Liang with a gloomy expression.

After spending the past few days together, they could naturally see that Gu Liang was a man of considerable cunning. They were even quite frank about it. Ji Xiaoju had said long ago that the three of them had come here solely to meet the Governor.

They all saw how much Gu Liang valued and cared for his wife and daughter. He had been silent for so many years, and now he had made this plan for his wife and daughter.

Although this family came here to meet the Governor, they were all very honest and had no ulterior motives. It was just that their Lord Liu became more and more envious of the other party's smart and lovely little girl.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir, but I dare not marry you."

"I'm not marrying above my station, I'm not marrying above my station. Sometimes I envy you. Your wife is kind and gentle, and she's an excellent cook. Your daughter is smart, clever, and adorable. Brother Gu, I'm a person without any relatives in my life. I've been engaged three times, but all ended in accidents, so I don't dare to harm other girls anymore. I really like your Cancan."

"Sir!" Master Sun covered his face. Do you really need to praise other people's wives and daughters? If I didn't know your character, I'm afraid I would think he was going to rob them. Isn't it just to recognize them as godparents so that you can eat for free in the future?

Is it worth it just for a bite of food? Although Cancan is indeed cute!

"No, that's not what I meant." Liu Fengan also reacted and felt a little out of control.

"Your Excellency is honest and upright, and your deeds of speaking up for the people along the way are well-known. Could you allow me to go back and discuss it with you?" Gu Liang had long seen that Liu Fengan was a good person and a good official.

"Okay, okay. We'll leave tomorrow. Oh, and these are some clothes I asked Zhao Long to bring back. Take them back and change into them."

"Thank you, sir."

Gu Liang took the bag and returned to their tent.

"You're back. What do you mean?" Ji Xiaoju asked while combing Gu Can's hair.

"It's pretty much what we suspected. The problems in Tongcheng have been accumulating over time, and they won't be solved overnight. These are new clothes for us. Cancan should change into them after taking a bath." Gu Liang placed the bundle on the quilt and opened it. He took out a pink plum blossom dress and two hair ties.

Ji Xiaoju took the skirt and gently shook it open. The pink plum blossom dress was incredibly delicate, the fabric soft and smooth, like the finest satin. A circle of lifelike plum blossoms was embroidered along the hem, each petal seemingly dripping with morning dew, delicate and alluring. The neckline and cuffs were embroidered with fine cloud patterns in white silk thread, reminiscent of wisps of light clouds swirling across the horizon.

"This material and workmanship are not cheap. It can be sold at a sky-high price in Tongcheng. How much money did Zhao Long and the others bring with them?" Ji Xiaoju hesitated as she held the skirt, which looked very valuable.

"Even if they brought a lot of money, they wouldn't dare to show off and attract attention. Just wear it. In their eyes, we haven't seen anything good either. We'll ask them later." Gu Liang had nothing to worry about. This group of people were all single and didn't know how to choose clothes. This set of clothes definitely couldn't have been chosen by Zhao Long and his group.

Ji Xiaoju carefully put on her skirt and fastened her belt. Then she picked up a hair tie and tied her hair. She divided her hair into two parts, tied each into a small bun, and then fastened the hair tie. The two hair ties were hung with small bells, which made crisp sounds as Gu Can moved.

Gu Can spun around, her skirt blooming like a flower, and she looked like a fairy descending to earth. Gu Liang looked at his daughter with tenderness in his eyes.

"Our Cancan is so pretty. Xiaoju, you should also wash up and put on new clothes." Gu Liang reached out and picked up Gu Can, looking at Ji Xiaoju tenderly and lovingly. Wherever they were, that was his home.

The family of three all changed into new clothes. Compared with Gu Can's outfit, the couple's clothes were very ordinary.

"Perhaps Lord Liu had already decided to let Cancan return to Tongcheng as his daughter. I just didn't expect that after getting along with her, he would really want to adopt Cancan as his adopted daughter. How come our Cancan is so lovable?" Gu Liang reached out and pinched her little face.

Gu Can was in Ji Xiaoju's arms, smiling sweetly at his father.

"Because I am mom and dad's child, you think I am lovable because you love me? I love mom and dad the most too." No matter how old Linghun is, she looks like four years old now, and she has no pressure to act coquettishly and cutely!

What's more, it's to make her parents happy. This is what she should do.

"You little flatterer, what do you think?" Gu Liang asked.

"Anyway, it will be convenient for us to act in Tongcheng as his daughter. It would be good to recognize him as your biological parent. In the future, you will take the imperial examination and become an official in the court. With this relationship, we will be considered to have gained the upper hand in the eyes of outsiders. Liu Fengan is a good official with integrity, but he is alone. He has saved our lives this time. It would be good for us to let Cancan take care of him in his old age." Ji Xiaoju analyzed.

"Even if I don't recognize them as my godparents, I will still take care of them in their old age. They are good officials who truly care about the people and should not end up with a miserable end in their later years." Gu Can said.

"Then accept it. I want to study hard for the imperial examination and must try my best to abide by the rules of this era. It will also make it more legitimate to take care of them after I become their godparents. And you said you saved my life. From outsiders' perspective, we are taking advantage of them anyway, so we might as well accept it openly."

"In the future, people will inevitably say that I am selling my daughter for fame and fortune." Gu Liang tapped Gu Can's nose.

"That's great! Others don't have this opportunity yet. Not everyone can give birth to a daughter as smart and lovely as me, right?"

"You're getting thicker and thicker." Ji Xiaoju couldn't help but pat her little butt when she saw Gu Can's cocky look. Gu Can hadn't been a child for a long time. When she was spanked by her mother out of the blue, she was stunned for a second, and then looked at her mother with accusatory eyes.

"There's no use staring at you. Now that you've made up your mind, go meet Lord Liu and the others." Ji Xiaoju coldly dismissed her accusation!

Gu Can struggled and refused to let them hold her anymore. She wanted to walk by herself. Humph, her body turned into a child, but she was not a real child. Her mother really didn't respect her, so she was going to be angry for a minute!

Gu Liang and Ji Xiaoju found it funny and could only follow behind, watching her moving her short legs around in front of her.

"Cancan is here. Well, this dress suits you well." When Liu Fengan saw Gu Can coming in, his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.
