Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 492 Judy

"I knew you'd be back, and you came even earlier than I expected." Yunyi looked at Pearl and smiled.

Pearl was very conflicted, but since she had already come all this way, she naturally wouldn't back down. She simply recounted what had just happened and then handed over the purse.

Yunlu took the purse, opened it, and poured out its contents. Just as she was about to examine it, Yunyi took it from her.

It was a silver ring, a very simple design, but it was engraved with a poppy flower on one side and a string of English letters on the other.

Yunyi's eyes narrowed. People of this era might not be familiar with it, but she was very familiar with it. It was a keepsake from the drug lord Zhou Ni. The string of English letters was Zhou Ni's English name, Judy.

Even as an old woman, Zhou Ni is still causing trouble. Is she planning to establish a drug kingdom in this ancient era?

When exactly did this guy travel through time?

If the time is short, it's fine, but if the time spent traveling through time is long, then it's really troublesome.

But now is not the time to dwell on this.

"Wait for me a moment." Yunyi took the ring and went upstairs.

Pearl was extremely anxious, fearing that if she delayed for too long, it would arouse suspicion on the other side.

Yunyi came down quickly and handed the ring to Pearl: "Do as Sun Qingli said."

Pearl accepted the gift, bowed, and then turned and left.

Yunyi then called Yunsheng over and gave him ten taels of silver: "You should also reward your friends outside regularly, and have them keep an eye on the Ni Chang Pavilion."

"Thank you, Miss." Yun Sheng accepted the silver and left happily.

"Hey Miss," Gu Chengyun said, walking in at that moment, "stop thinking about other things, shouldn't you be paying more attention to your own affairs?"

"What's it to me?" Yunyi asked, completely bewildered.

Today is already the tenth day of the sixth lunar month.

"Yeah, and then what?"

Does the date June 16th sound familiar?

Yunyi paused for a moment, then suddenly slapped her forehead: "Hehe, I forgot."

"I knew you'd forgotten. This year is your coming-of-age ceremony, a very important day in a girl's life. We can't be careless about it."

Yunyi shrugged and said, "It's just a birthday, nothing to worry about."

In fact, the coming-of-age ceremony of ancient women was the same as the coming-of-age ceremony of later generations. However, in ancient times, women reached the age of fifteen when they reached the age of fifteen, which meant they were ready to marry, while in later generations, they had to be eighteen years old to assume legal responsibility.

In her previous life, she never celebrated her birthday after the age of ten because her father, an excellent anti-drug police officer, collapsed on her tenth birthday, and later her mother was draped in the national flag on her eighteenth birthday.

On the same day, her college entrance examination results came out. Originally wanting to study literature, she resolutely applied to a military academy.

Even though I later traveled through three thousand minor worlds and attended many birthday parties, deep down, none of them truly felt like my own birthday.

Now that we've arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty, this girl's birthday and her lunar birthday are on the same day.

"How can that be? The coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Earl's family cannot be taken lightly."

“But my mother is gone, and my father is unreliable. What am I going to do for my coming-of-age ceremony?” Yunyi spread her hands. “I don’t even have a proper elder.”

Gu Chengyun fell silent. This was indeed a problem. If she were still the Crown Princess, this wouldn't be a problem at all, but now she was just a stewardess, and the Gu family was gone. This matter... Suddenly, she thought of something: "Princess."

"what?"

“I said that Princess Qiaochu could help you with the preparations.”

"Hey Ayun, although Ning Wushuang and I have a good relationship, what is Princess Qiaochu's status in arranging my coming-of-age ceremony?"

Gu Chengyun fell silent again.

Just then, Qingye came in to announce that Miss Ruier was requesting an audience.

Yunyi got up and went out to greet them.

"Boss, my coming-of-age ceremony is the day after tomorrow, you have to come!" Chen Rui started shouting as soon as she entered the door, carrying a gold-embossed invitation card in her hand. "I'm personally delivering the invitation card to you, you have to be my supporter!"

Yunyi then remembered that Chen Rui's birthday was June 12th, only four days older than her: "Have you moved out?"

“We’ve moved.” Chen Rui nodded. “It’s in Jiqingfang, not far from your manor. It’s only a half-hour drive by carriage. Although the courtyard isn’t big, it’s much more comfortable to live here.”

“Then I’ll definitely be there.” Yunyi nodded.

"You mean if we were still living in the Minister's residence, you wouldn't come?"

"Yes." Yunyi nodded, "It's disgusting."

"Hehe, so I had the foresight to move it." Chen Rui laughed proudly.

Yunyi rolled her eyes at her.

"By the way, eldest, your birthday is the sixteenth, right?" Chen Rui sat down after laughing enough. "The people from the Earl's Mansion won't do. How about I ask my parents to organize it for you, or we can celebrate together?"

"Your birthdays are different, how come you're celebrating together?" Gu Chengyun asked with a surprised look.

“I’m twelve and she’s sixteen, so let’s compromise and spend it together on the fourteenth.”

Gu Chengyun's lips twitched. Could it be like this?

"Don't get your hopes up. Even if you're willing, the Chen family might not be." Yun Yi rolled her eyes at Chen Rui, who was only giving bad advice.

Chen Rui stuck out her tongue, knowing that the suggestion was unreliable, so she stopped worrying about it and had the people who came with her put the things they brought on the table.

"What's this for?" Yunyi looked at the pile of things and was completely confused.

"Giving gifts in advance?" Chen Rui chuckled. "My future husband invited me shopping, so of course I had to go. Women naturally buy, buy, buy when they go shopping. I bought two of everything, one for each of us, and they were all bought at Jinlu Pavilion." She winked at Yun Yi as she spoke.

"Sixteen," Yunyi patted Chen Rui's shoulder, "Good sister."

“Of course!” Chen Rui said happily. “But it would be even better if you could stop calling me by my code name.”

“Arui”.

"That's pretty much it."

"Thank you for tidying up, Yunyi." Yunyi looked at Gu Chengyun.

"Packaging things is the most enjoyable part, especially these jewelry and fabrics. Just looking at them makes me happy. I don't feel tired even if there were more." Gu Chengyun said with a smile as he led Yun Zi and the others to move the things to the storeroom.

Although Yunyi had her own space, she still prepared a storeroom to conceal her identity.

"How are Chen Jiakun and Bai Hua?"

"What else can happen? They're all under house arrest. I don't know about Bai Hua, but Chen Jiakun got a good beating and is still lying on the kang (heated brick bed) unable to get up." Chen Rui pouted. "Besides, there are already several versions circulating among the people."

"Tell me about it," Yunyi's eyes began to light up.

"The most widely accepted version of the story is that the Chen family couldn't produce a son at all, so they had no choice but to raise a girl pretending to be a boy, and he and Bai Hua fell in love at first sight..."
