Chapter 151 Confirmation
After waiting for a long time, dinner was finally over. He Jingmin and his family could not wait to return to the room, closed the doors and windows, and listened against the wall for a long time. Finally, the three of them sat together tightly.
"Yunxiang, Erbao, do you also feel that tonight's meal is very similar to what Dabao made in my previous life? Especially the taste of the zezhe pot is exactly the same, with that burnt smell and spicy garlic."
The little girl said seriously, "Didn't I say before that I dreamed that my elder sister also came to this world? Could it be the elder sister Guo Xin that I recognize now?"
The elegant lady shook her head and said, "It should be just a coincidence, right? Although I also think that today's meal is really weird, I always feel that God will not be so kind to our family, right? After all, we haven't made much contribution, right?"
He Jingmin said to the little girl, "Your mother is always like this, she doesn't have any illusions at all, but we didn't dare to believe it when you came here."
The little girl said, "I also thought it was very strange at first, but I came here when I was still a baby. Because I was young, I heard you often talk about your past lives, so I was sure of it. So, when I could speak, I revealed my identity, but it took a long time for you to believe that I was me."
The woman sighed and said, "Of course I also hope that Guo Xin is my treasure, your elder sister, but doesn't this also mean that she didn't have a good life in her previous life, and it was very difficult. Then wouldn't it be meaningless for her to persist there for so long?"
The three fell into silence.
After a long while, the little girl said, "If my sister came here more than ten years later, she must have a lot of martial arts skills. I will find a chance to test them."
Moreover, during this period of time, she always heard the maids in the yard discussing something about Sister Guo Xin. Occasionally, she would hear a few words clearly, which were "martial arts". Thinking of this, the little girl's hope became even greater.
The woman lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Well. Then go and test it. Maybe it really is Dabao?"
……
Last night's meal obviously won over a lot of people, so early in the morning the fifth son and sixth daughter of the He family brought a group of little kids and knocked on Guo Xin's door.
"Xin'er! Are you awake? I'll take you to a nice place to play today!"
Guo Xin listened to the noise outside the door and felt a little dazed. She felt as if she had returned to her previous life when there was still peace. During the Chinese New Year, the children of the gossipy ladies would come to visit her home, and the noise was just like it was now.
She had already dressed up and was just sitting by the window with a book in her hand, lost in thought. It made no sense for her not to accept the invitation, so she said, "I'll come right over. I wonder which place is good."
The sixth daughter of the He family smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when you go there."
After walking around countless twists and turns and passing through several doors, what came into view was an open space that could accommodate nearly a hundred people. On the far left of the open space were various swords, forks, sticks, knives, etc., which looked like a small training ground.
"Xin'er, this is the great place I mentioned - the training ground. But don't suspect that we are violating the rules. This is a gift from His Majesty to Dad. We usually practice here when we are in the mansion."
Guo Xin walked blankly to the place where weapons were placed. She felt cold to the touch, the feeling of cold weapons. This was the first time she felt the charm of the military of this era at such a close distance. Her hand couldn't help but touch the tip of the halberd, and it pierced her fingertips with just a slight scratch.
"Xin'er, you have to be careful, otherwise my mother will scold me. These are excellent weapons. They were looted by my father when he was conquering all over the world. Some of them were rewards from His Majesty. They are all here." said the sixth daughter of the He family.
Seeing Guo Xin was in a daze, she was a little anxious. She had not asked Guo Xin to come here just to take a look at the training ground, so she said in a rough voice: "Xin'er, I heard that your martial arts are very good, especially the use of swords. Coincidentally, I also have some experience in swordsmanship. Why don't we have a competition?"
Guo Xin came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I think it was Uncle He Liu who said that my martial arts were strong, right? That was just because I was pushed to the extreme. In fact, it's not that good. But if you want to compete, it's not impossible."
After saying that, she looked at the weapons at hand and picked up a sword. In her previous life, she used guns. If there were no guns, she could only use swords made of iron. However, people of that era were not good at making swords, so the sword in her hand now was not as good as hers.
"Xin'er, then I won't show mercy! Please give me your guidance." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran towards Guo Xin with the sword in his hand.
……
He Ningxin went to Guo Xin's yard early in the morning, and kept reciting the words of the invitation in her heart. She had overturned several versions along the way. She finally made up her mind to choose the version that sounded the most intimate, and prepared to knock on the door of the yard and shout.
"Miss Ning Xin, my young lady followed the Fifth Master and the Sixth Miss to the parade ground early in the morning. If it is not an important matter, I can help convey it to my young lady." said the maid.
He Ningxin was stunned. Was it possible that the script she had prepared along the way was intercepted by her fifth uncle and sixth aunt, or was it so smooth that Guo Xin was allowed to perform on the parade ground?
But he was stunned for only a moment, and then he said, "No problem, I'll go to the training ground to find her."
After saying this, she hurriedly walked towards the performance field. Her pink silk skirt swayed back and forth because of her fast steps, like blooming lotus flowers.
She had to rush there earlier, as she didn't know how long they had been fighting. If she missed Guo Xin's match, she would have no chance to find out again.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but resent the fact that there were no surveillance cameras in the Zhao Dynasty. If there were surveillance cameras, she wouldn't be walking around this mansion in such a mess. She only needed to go back to the yard, turn on the surveillance cameras and check quietly to find out whether Sister Guo Xin was her eldest sister.
While complaining in his heart, his steps became faster and faster, and he even showed signs of jogging.
"Miss, do you have any urgent matter to discuss with Miss Xin'er? Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't we ask the guards to pass the message?" The maid followed behind her, a little breathless.
He Ningxin didn't say anything. When she saw the training ground in front of her, her eyes lit up. It happened that her fifth uncle and sister Guo Xin were having a martial arts competition. She stood at the door and stared at Guo Xin's moves intently.
She was very familiar with her elder sister's habits in her previous life. Now, watching Guo Xin's moves, scene by frame appeared before her eyes. Although there were many new movements and habits compared to the moves in her memory, those habits engraved in her bones and memories had not changed at all.
Her eyes gradually became blurred, and she was certain that the Guo Xin in front of her was her elder sister.
