Chapter 64 The Confidence of the Aristocratic Family
"Aqing, are you afraid?"
Gu Heng lowered his head and glanced at his little granddaughter with yellow hair and dark skin. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that his little granddaughter seemed a little whiter today.
Of course, for a person as knowledgeable and open-minded as him, he no longer values appearance superficially.
However, the appearance of the little granddaughter has always been a small taboo for the Gu family.
Alas, the Gu family really doesn't value these skinny guys, but among a group of handsome men and beauties, there is such a tiny, ugly little girl.
It's really like a black crow flying in among a group of phoenixes.
They don't pursue an overly refined appearance, but they can't be too ugly either.
Every time Gu Heng sees his granddaughter, she is obviously the smartest, most talented, and has the best temperament among all the grandsons, but only——
"Don't be afraid!"
Gu Qingcheng raised her head and looked at Gu Heng with burning eyes.
As smart as she was, and as sharp as she was, of course she noticed the flash of regret in her grandfather's eyes.
In fact, it is not just the grandfather, father, mother, brother, sister, they all are like this.
They never despised themselves, but they always looked at themselves with regret or even guilt.
Little did she know that their looks also hurt her!
"I, the Gu family of Wu County, have a lot of pride!"
Gu Qingcheng pretended not to see the look on his grandfather's face and said proudly, "Besides, I don't believe that Chen Jing really dares to be enemies with all the aristocratic families."
Chen Jing, a powerful minister, just wanted to drive his unyielding grandfather out of the capital, rather than really want to do anything to this famous celebrity in the country.
He is just arrogant, not stupid.
Killing Gu Heng, or taking the opportunity to humiliate him, would not bring much benefit to yourself.
On the contrary, it will trigger a backlash from those aristocratic and wealthy families who are in despair.
It was said that they were confiscating their homes and being exiled, but more of it was just going through the motions.
Gu Heng must have had such determination that he dared to really stay.
Gu Heng did have character, but he would not gamble with his own life foolishly.
"Haha! Okay! Ah Weng's Qing is really smart!"
What a smart child, who is less than six years old, but is already able to think about problems so thoughtfully.
Oh, what a pity——
Gu Heng sighed silently in his heart again.
Gu Qingcheng:...I can't see it! And I don't care!
I have a system. As long as I do the tasks, I can become beautiful!
Sooner or later, I will become a great beauty who will conquer the entire country.
The grandfather and grandson were waiting in the main hall. Not long after, a man dressed as a military commander walked in.
He came in alone, and his troops were left outside.
Seeing this person coming alone, Gu Heng and Gu Qingcheng both smiled slightly - guessed it right!
"You An Gong, our last general, Zheng Mo, has been ordered to escort you to Lingnan!"
This Zhonglang general named Zheng Mo, when he saw Gu Heng, he clasped his fists and saluted with a very respectful attitude.
"Don't dare! I'll bother you, General Zheng!"
Gu Heng nodded slightly, "Now the Gu family only has the old man, his granddaughter, and a few loyal servants."
Gu Heng was reminding that not all the servants and wives of the Gu family could be taken away, and some were left to guard the old house.
This is the root of the Gu family and cannot be abandoned easily.
"yes!"
In fact, Zheng Mo was quite "rejoiced" when he saw that only one elder and one child were left in the Gu family.
He has not forgotten that the head matron of the Gu family is the eldest princess of Jiangling, the saint's aunt.
Although the saint has become a puppet, he is still a representative of orthodoxy.
Chen Jing, a powerful minister, has not yet reached the stage of showing his true face. He still needs to pretend a little to the royal family and the aristocratic family.
Chen Jing is like this, let alone a little guy like Zheng Mo.
He was really afraid that after entering the Gu family, he would find that the entire Gu family was there.
Zheng Mo got a headache just thinking about escorting so many people on the road, and there were also golden branches and jade leaves inside.
The current situation is still the best. The huge Gu family only has an old man, a young man, and a few servants left. As an errand boy, he will not be too embarrassed.
As for where the rest of the Gu family went, it's easy to guess, except for the Northern Dynasties, there is no other place.
Not to mention others, even Zheng Mo himself was not from the Southern Dynasties.
He was born in the Zheng family of the Northern Dynasty. Because he was a concubine, he had a dispute with the family and came to the Southern Dynasty in anger.
Although there was hostility between the Northern and Southern Dynasties for hundreds of years.
People on both sides want to annex each other, but there are not many "communications" in private.
Aristocratic families in the Southern Dynasties, and even emperors who were ousted from the throne, might go to the Northern Dynasties, and would also receive a certain degree of "reuse" in the Northern Dynasties.
As for some people in the Northern Dynasties, if they are depressed and frustrated, they can also go to the Southern Dynasties to look for opportunities!
There is no real chasm between the south and the north.
"Mr. You'an, the sage has an edict and orders you to leave Beijing within three days. Today is the third day. Look -"
Zheng Mo had a very good attitude, but he didn't forget about business.
"I will never embarrass General Zheng. Give me some time and we will set off later."
Gu Heng had already made preparations, and his children and grandchildren had all taken away the family's genealogy, collection of books, and valuables.
All that is left of the Gu family's mansion are some bulky furniture and some less important things.
Gu Heng gathered some gold, silver, pills, and arranged the old servants to guard the old house, which was considered a good preparation.
Gu Qingcheng was very considerate. She calculated silently, and Zheng Mo left an hour for their grandparents.
A lot can be done at this hour.
Gu Qingcheng ordered the cook in the kitchen to start cooking.
She asked the cooks to use up all the remaining ingredients at home.
She also took the opportunity to modify the bullock cart.
She widened the carriage of the bullock cart and covered it with thick mattresses. She also added several small mezzanines in the carriage to store small things.
Although it was only for an hour, I couldn't bear to take care of my family.
Moreover, the neighbors on the left and right are either from aristocratic families or clans. In terms of relationship, they are all closely related to the Gu family.
Knowing that the Gu family is in trouble and they can't save the exiled Gu Heng, why can't they do a small favor?
Zheng Mo stood at the street entrance with a pair of men and horses, watching from a distance a group of people going in and out, busy.
He knew that these aristocratic families could not be said to share weal and woe, but they also had common interests.
No wonder Gu Heng dared to stay at home and wait even after being exiled.
He has confidence, and the class of the aristocratic family gives him great confidence.
Later, Zheng Mo discovered that he still underestimated Gu Heng's influence.
He is not only a son of aristocratic family, he is also a famous person in the country.
"Mr. You'an, I heard that you were killed by a traitor and brutally exiled. We are all knights, rough and humble, but we also know how to be loyal, courageous, benevolent and righteous."
"Mr. You'an, don't worry. We are willing to escort you to Lingnan. Please help me."
A group of sword-wielding knights heard the news and rushed to Gu's house.
They stood outside the door and shouted loudly.
Gu Heng was so moved that he hurried out and gave a long salute to thank these chivalrous people!
Gu Qingcheng is still busy in the backyard. Her mission world is not just about completing missions and earning points.
Even without Huoshui knowing about it, she was still learning silently.
The dynasty in the storybook seems to be a fabrication, but there are "prototypes" to test.
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng felt that that dynasty should be two to three hundred years later than the era she lived in.
In two or three hundred years, many things have been developed from scratch and have been iteratively updated!
For example, the method of stir-frying, and another example... First of all, Gu Qingcheng can't be too obvious, otherwise, it will attract Huoshui's attention, and it will be difficult for her to continue to "steal from others".
PS: The update is not good, so I was embarrassed to ask for a monthly vote. However, it is the end of the month, and the monthly vote will expire if you don’t vote. Dear friends, it is better to vote for a certain person. It will be on the shelves next month, and we can release more updates.
