Before the festivities began, the ancestral hall was opened for two important matters. The first was to record Third Fatty and other children who hadn’t yet been added to the family tree within the past week, and the second matter was to deal with the inheritance of the patriarchal position.

Once these tasks were completed, the celebratory banquet commenced.

During the meal, Mr. Gu turned to Gu Chengrui and inquired, “You’ve been away for half a year. Where have all your travels taken you?”

“I’ve basically made the rounds of all the state capitals,” Gu Chengrui replied. “Just enjoying myself and inspecting my various business ventures at the same time.”

“The capital has been stable these past six months, hasn’t it?” Gu Chengrui inquired.

“There haven’t been any major disturbances, but you did miss Zixuan’s wedding day. You’ll need to bring her a gift when you return.”

“Absolutely,” Gu Chengrui agreed. “By the way, do you have any leads on a large s.h.i.+p capable of long-distance voyages?”

“A big s.h.i.+p, huh? Thinking of starting a s.h.i.+pping business?” Mr. Gu chuckled.

Gu Chengrui shook his head. “No, I’m actually interested in taking a long voyage myself. I’ve heard rumors of a country on the other side of the sea, and I’m curious to explore it.”

“There’s certainly truth to that,” Mr. Gu conceded. “But going there wouldn’t be a walk in the park. Besides the distance, there’s also the potential for danger. Pirates are a real threat out there. Honestly, being a Marquis is a pretty comfortable life as it is. If you need anything procured, just send someone. There is no need to take unnecessary risks.”

“Indeed,” echoed Second Uncle Gu. “Listen to your father on this. Even seasoned veterans like us wouldn’t dare venture into unfamiliar territory for business dealings, let alone someone with no experience in the industry. It’s a harsh world out there, and danger lurks around every corner.”

“I understand your concerns,” Gu Chengrui replied. “But the urge to explore is strong. Perhaps I might stumble upon something new and exciting.”

“But…” Mr. Gu attempted to continue his persuasion, but Gu Chengrui cut him off. “If you’re unwilling to share this information, I’ll simply have to find it elsewhere.”

“Why can’t you just listen to reason?” Second Uncle Gu pleaded.

“In this life, which only spans a few short decades, I already have all the power and wealth I could ever need,” Gu Chengrui insisted. “What I crave now is the thrill of exploration, the possibility of discovering a new world, maybe even witnessing a miracle or two.”

Seeing his son’s unwavering resolve, Mr. Gu sighed. “We don’t have s.h.i.+ps here in the village. The only place to acquire one would be the sea port. If you’re truly set on this venture, I’ll accompany you after the New Year.”

“Brother…” Second Uncle Gu started disapprovingly.

“If he insists on going, we can’t stop him. It’s better to help him choose a good s.h.i.+p and teach him some survival skills at sea.” Mr. Gu replied helplessly.

If there was another way, he would be the first to object, but he knew his third son was a stubborn person, and they couldn’t persuade him.

It was better to let Zhou Ying and the Emperor persuade him.

On this side, Mrs. Yao asked curiously, “Zhou Ying, where have you been all this year? Tell us what interesting things you have experienced, so we can open our eyes.”

“That’s right. I have never been out of our county since I was born.” Sixth Aunt Gu nodded in agreement.

“That’s what I’m saying. None of us here have ever been out of Yunhe County.” Mrs. w.a.n.g replied.

“That’s right. Zhou Ying, tell us about it.” Mrs. Fang agreed.

Zhou Ying didn’t hesitate. She took care of the three children while slowly explaining.

During this time, the three children occasionally added a sentence, making everyone laugh.

It also aroused the curiosity of the men’s table.

After hearing what they were discussing, everyone also asked Gu Chengrui about his experience.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui simply introduced them to what he had seen and heard outside, especially the clan concept in the south, which was much stronger than here. Of course, the rules were also much more strict.
