Chapter 1504: Gu Family’s New Year Visit (Part 1)

Le Shan awkwardly said, "I’ve changed my taste. I’m tired of white liquor, want to drink fruit wine now."

However, when he realized that the Eldest Lady poured a drink for Gu Dong that was neither fruit wine nor Moutai, but had a rich aroma that felt very pleasant with just a sniff, he immediately changed his mind: "I’ll stick to men’s white liquor."

Mengyu playfully scolded: "You sure know how to drink." She poured him half a cup: "This wine, you and Le Shui, Le Yin can only have half a cup each."

Le Shui, however, noticed with sharp eyes that Qingshan got a full cup, feeling a bit unfair: "How come he gets to drink a full cup?"

"Haha." Qingshan chuckled: "You can talk once you drink half a cup without getting drunk."

The result was, after Le Shui downed the half cup, he quickly became drunk.

Le Shan pointed at him and laughed: "Look at that, look at that, just half a cup and you’re drunk. What a ’half-cup knockout.’

But before he could finish speaking, he too slumped over the table, causing everyone to laugh: he turned out to be a half-cup knockout as well.

Le Yin, helpless, had to support the two back to their rooms.

Meanwhile, holding her own cup, she cheekily stretched it out in front of Mengyu: "Eldest Lady, can I also have half a cup?"

Gu Dongxing suggested that tomorrow, they bring Mengyu to the Gu Family for New Year.

Yang Meiyin had already separated from Gu Ming in what was a nominal marriage and had taken Gu Chen, who was not truly of Gu Ming’s bloodline.

Gu Ming and Hai Xue remarried and now the Gu Family has five members: Gu Ming, Hai Xue, Gu Dongxing, Gu Xing, and Gu Minxing.

Mengyu had visited the Gu Family once before, during their arranged marriage with Nan Mingzhu. She followed Gu Dongxing back, drove away Nan Mingzhu, and also angered three clan elders of the Gu Family.

But this was her first formal visit to the Gu Family as Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, and she had to prepare gifts for everyone.

She had met the others before and knew how to prepare gifts for them, but she hadn’t met Gu Xing and didn’t know what kind of person he was.

Moreover, Gu Dongxing mentioned that when Gu Ming heard Gu Dongxing was bringing Mengyu home, his two aunts who hadn’t visited for years were also planning to come. There were only family members at the last engagement ceremony, so the two aunts hadn’t attended, making this their first meeting.

If the aunts came, they might bring those cousins and sisters along too. Given that Mengyu is a cultivator, meeting them would require gifting them accordingly.

Mengyu was torn between offering spiritual objects or giving them valuable mundane items.

She indeed had lots of antiques in her space, but Xiao Tao had siphoned their essence value. They could be sold for money in the future, but gifting them seemed inappropriate.

After much thought, she considered the gold in her ring. Perhaps she could craft items from gold to gift them?

But gold is a bit common.

Finally, Mengyu remembered the steps and pillars she collected from the Heavenly Pond, all made of Spirit Jade.

If she used them to craft bracelets or pendants to gift, it would be perfect.

She decided to give elder women Spirit Jade bracelets, which when worn, could nurture them. For the others, she planned to create a set of zodiac art pieces from Spirit Jade for each, large and beautiful.

Without delay, she walked into the space house in the backyard, took out a step, and used her spiritual power to partition it. Then she controlled a small flying sword to carve out general shapes of bracelets and the zodiac figures, followed by polishing.

Gu Dongxing saw Mengyu was working hard and came in to assist. With a rub from his hand, a rough bracelet became clear and bright.

"Wow, you are really good. This task will be left to you." Mengyu smiled calculatingly.
