Gu Qiancheng had no idea what kind of ripples her straightforward and simple words would cause in Gu Chenghuan's heart...
Gu Chenghuan's world view was overturned in this moment!
It turns out that he doesn't need to ingratiate himself with the powerful young men so that the nobles can support him, as his mother said; nor does he need to win over humble soldiers in the army to manage his own power, as his grandfather said. He just needs to turn himself into a powerful man.
Just be strong!
Many years later, when he became famous, he still remembered how Gu Qiancheng's words changed his life that night, and he would never forget this sister who changed his life!
In his heart, Gu Qiancheng, his sister, is more important than all his relatives combined!
And these have nothing to do with Gu Qiancheng. As a cousin, she has fulfilled her responsibilities, even better than her biological sister.
After talking about a few more small things, Gu Qiancheng took out a small medicine box and handed it to Gu Chenghuan before Gu Chenghuan left.
"There are some medicines here, which my sister prepared herself. They are better than the medicines for injuries outside. You are more likely to be injured in the army. Keep this with you in case of emergency. I have written down the usage of the things in it.
Yes, you will know when you go back and open it."
Knowing that Gu Chenghuan was going to undergo training in the palace, Gu Qiancheng made preparations early.
They are also cousins. Even if she and Chengyi were close to each other, she would not show it on her face, making Chenghuan clearly feel that she was partial.
"Sister Qiancheng, did you prepare this for me?" Gu Chenghuan took the box in disbelief. Seeing Gu Qiancheng nod, Gu Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, then hugged the medicine box tightly in his arms, his nose felt sore.
, tears fell out...
No one can understand Gu Chenghuan's mood at this time...
For a moment, he really wanted to throw himself into Gu Qiancheng's arms and burst into tears, crying out all the depression and sadness he had felt over the years...
In the Gu family, he had been ignored for too long. He never thought that Sister Qiancheng would remember him in her heart and remember that there was a person like him in the Gu family.
In the Gu family, although he is the eldest grandson, he has the ambition to inherit the title and the ambition to read. Caught between the two of them, he is nothing in the Gu family.
His father asked him to please Chengzhi so that Chengzhi could take care of him after he inherited the title; his mother favored his sister, thinking that her sister could marry into a good family, but he would not be promising...
Grandfather likes Chengyi who can read; grandmother likes Chengzhi who inherits the title; Chengyi has a third uncle and a third aunt who loves him, but he is ignored by everyone and is only a little better than the previous Qiancheng sister.
"Woooooooo..."
Although Gu Chenghuan did not throw himself into Gu Qiancheng's arms, he hugged the medicine box and cried like a tearful man, as if he wanted to cry out all the pain he had suppressed over the years at once...
He really felt so miserable, so miserable!
Gu Qiancheng is very aware of Cheng Huan's situation in the Gu family, and he also understands that Uncle Yi and his second aunt are in the camp and have a powerful personality and will not be too kind to Cheng Huan. But seeing Cheng Huan crying so sadly and helplessly, he still couldn't help but sympathize with this person.
child.
But it's okay to cry.
Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything to comfort him, he just sat there and waited for Gu Chenghuan to cry enough, then handed him a handkerchief...
"Sister Qiancheng, I..." After Gu Chenghuan cried bitterly, he had calmed down, his face flushed red, feeling ashamed of his behavior...
Why did he cry? It's obvious that after so many years, he has gotten used to it and figured it out.
"Sister didn't see anything." Gu Qiancheng blinked, indicating that this was a secret between the two of them and she would not tell it.
Gu Chenghuan's face turned red again, he wiped his face carelessly, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Sister Qiancheng." Then he ran away...
Gu Qiancheng did not stand up. She was still sitting in her original position, but the smile on her face had long since condensed. Looking outside the dark room, Gu Qiancheng sighed softly...
In the next few days, the Gu family was very lively. Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu left Beijing to take up their posts, and Cheng Huan and Cheng Yi also went to the military camp and the academy one after another.
When these people left, Gu Qiancheng did not come to see them off. She would not show up at the Gu family easily until the old lady's matter was resolved.
She's not that heartless yet!
After Uncle Gu's family and Cheng Huan left, the Gu family seemed to be half empty. The huge yard suddenly became quiet. The Gu family were not used to it, but soon, they had no time to get used to it, because...
Someone from the old lady’s family is coming!
The old lady was also the daughter of the father-in-law, so she was a good match for the old man, and even the old man was considered to be in a high position.
However, the old lady's natal family has declined, and her biological brother only holds the title of Marquis of Dongqi. He has no real power and is worse than Gu Guogong's palace.
The old lady was fairly close to her natal family, but after being married into Gu Guogong's house for so many years, except for New Years and holidays, she rarely interacted with her, not to mention Marquis Dong Qi coming in person.
Everyone knew that when the old lady's brother, Marquis Dong Qi, came to Gu Guogong's mansion in person, something must have happened, but what exactly would happen was unknown to outsiders.
When the old lady heard the news about her brother's arrival, her first reaction was, is he here to support me?
The empress must have taken action. That little bitch from Qiancheng thought she could show off her power by climbing up to the Feng family. It was a joke.
The old lady was in a great mood and immediately ordered someone to dress her up. She wanted to greet her brother in person so that the Gu family could see clearly that her status could not be shaken!
When Mrs. Gu received the news, regardless of her discomfort, she hurriedly got out of bed and ran over, and warmly entertained Dong Qihou and his party. However, Mrs. Gu was too happy to notice Dong Qihou's ugly face.
In fact, even if Mrs. Gu is found, she will think that Dong Qihou must be unhappy and has come to support the old lady today. Gu Qiancheng is going to be in trouble!
Just thinking about this made Mrs. Gu feel refreshed and all her pain disappeared. When she saw Gu Guogong, who did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of his uncle Dong Qihou, Mrs. Gu felt even better.
She wanted to keep an eye on that little bitch Gu Qiancheng and see how crazy she could be.
But before Mrs. Gu was happy for a long time, the old man came out, greeted Dong Qihou coldly, and drove everyone out, making it clear that he had something important to discuss with Dong Qihou...
"What's going on?" A flash of doubt flashed in Mrs. Gu's eyes, and she was slightly uneasy.
From the old man's tone, it seems that Dong Qihou did not come on his own initiative, but that the old man invited Dong Qihou here. This...
But it’s very meaningful!
When Dong Qihou took the initiative to come, it was definitely to support the old man, but to be invited by the old man was to hold him accountable.
There is an essential difference between the two.
"Quickly, go call the second son and his wife." Gu Guogong was shrewd at the critical moment. Based on what happened in the past few days, Gu Guogong thought for a moment and knew that the old man would not let his mother off easily this time...
