The Cloud Feather of the Red Chamber: A Marriage Arranged with Gong Yuanzheng at the Start

Gong Zishang smiled, "Alright, alright, I'll be waiting for your gifts."

"Yu'er, the boat is rocking, don't keep drawing, or you'll hurt your eyes."

"Qingyu, you must listen to your sister. Don't run around when you get ashore. We don't know anyone here. If you get kidnapped by bad guys, we won't be able to find you!"

Qingyu nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Sister Zishang, I will stay close to you and Brother Xiaoxue once I get ashore, and I will never leave their side!"

"I will also protect my sister and never let those scoundrels get close to her!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, much of the sadness of parting dissipated.

Hearing the voices outside, Young Master Xue quickly ran out of the cabin.

He was arranging for his guards to move the goods.

Looking at himself in the painting, Xue Gongzi felt a mix of emotions.

The self in the painting has a completely different temperament from the self now.

His skin was darker than it is now, and the naivety in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by composure, but the gentle aura around him remained unchanged.

He looked at Daiyu and Qingyu with a smile.

"Brother Qingyu, Sister Daiyu, you've finally arrived! Quickly, load your luggage onto the ship!"

They were so anxious, as if they were afraid the Lin siblings would change their minds.

Of all the people who were happiest when Daiyu and Qingyu went out to sea together, it was Xue Gongzi.

It's not bad to go out to sea with only Yukishigeko, but it would be even better to include her younger siblings.

The sound of horses' hooves grew louder and louder behind me.

This is the Jia family's carriage.

Everyone looked back and saw Jia She easily leap off his horse, and Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun also got off the carriage with the help of their maids.

Behind them was a team of a hundred men, the imperial guards of the palace.

This time, they will be going to sea with Jia She and Gong Men.

Jia She was alright; he had already seen the ship's blueprints, and although he was shocked by the sheer size of the actual vessel, he was still able to conceal his emotions.

Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun were so shocked that they were completely speechless.

The handsome young man at the bow of the ship seemed to have noticed the commotion below.

He lightly touched the ground with his toes and gracefully descended from above.

The height of a six-story building is like walking on flat ground to him.

This move once again shocked the Jia family and the imperial guards.

Gong Yuanzheng looked at the young master in surprise, "Da Xue, you've mastered martial arts?"

His words surprised not only Gong Zishang and Lin Qingyue in the painting, but also those inside the palace gates.

A bite of pastry got stuck in Gong Zishang's throat, causing her to cough repeatedly.

The thoughtful young guard quickly handed over the milk.

After finally managing to swallow the pastry, Gong Zishang looked at Xue Zhongzi with undisguised surprise and amazement in her eyes.

"Yukishigeko, so you've grown up. You look like this now, so handsome..."

Xue Chongzi, "..."

Xue Zhongzi sighed; he had already guessed that Gong Zishang would react this way.

Helpless, he said again, "Zhi Ren, I told you yesterday, you should call me uncle..."

“Okay, Uncle!” Gong Zishang readily agreed. “Uncle, what kind of aunt do you like? Your niece can start looking for one for you now!”

"Four years from now, when you have mastered your divine skills, you will be ready to get married!"

"Alas, our palace is so sparsely populated!"

Xue Chongzi: "..."

I really want to shut Gong Zishang up right now...

Yukishige took in and out of breath, telling himself over and over again that this was a junior, and he, as an elder, should not argue with a junior.

However, Gong Zishang in the painting did not let him go either.

She touched her protruding belly and looked at Yukishigeko, saying the exact same thing.

"Oh, snow, I never imagined you were so beautiful!"

"Tell me quickly, what kind of woman do you like? I'll find one for you right away!"

Xue Zhongzi, now an adult, smiled slightly and said, "My dear niece, you should call me uncle."

Gong Zishang: "..."

Seeing Gong Zishang's discomfiture, Gong Yuanzheng laughed without any restraint, "Look at how pathetic you are!"

Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Lin Qingyue, too, was gazing at Xue Zhongzi with a look of amazement on her face.

Gong Yuanzheng turned her around somewhat forcefully, a long-lost look of grievance appearing on his face.

"Yue'er, why are you looking at him like that? Am I not as good-looking as him?"

Both inside and outside the painting were quiet.

Lin Qingyue awkwardly dug her toes into the ground.

Wang Xifeng laughed out loud. It wasn't until she arrived at the palace gates that she realized just how much her brother-in-law, Lin, cherished her sister-in-law.

They were truly treated with utmost care, as if afraid of breaking a precious gem.

“Brother-in-law, in Lin Daiyu’s heart, you are naturally the most handsome.”

"In Lin Daiyu's eyes, this young master is not much different from the beautiful scenery by the roadside."

Lin Qingyue nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! In my heart, Yuanzheng, you are unique, and I like you the most!"

Too embarrassed, Lin Qingyue blurted out.

As soon as she said it, she blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look up.

It's so embarrassing! How could I say something like that in public?

Gong Yuanzheng was overjoyed, and all the discomfort he had felt earlier vanished.

He couldn't help but reach out and stroke Lin Qingyue's face.

Just from the temperature of her hands, he could tell how red Yue'er's face was and how shy she was.

It's a pity we're outside right now, otherwise he would definitely want to get a good look at Yue'er's current expression.

Gong Zishang put down the milk and glanced sideways at Gong Yuanzheng, who was grinning foolishly with his big teeth showing.

"You're so happy, little brother Yuanzheng."

Gong Yuanzheng suppressed a smile and glanced at Gong Zishang, saying, "Enjoy the painting, Lord Zhiren."
