When Gu Qiancheng came back from the Feng family, he heard that someone came from the palace. He didn't know what the people in the palace said. He only knew that after seeing the people from the palace, the old man stayed in the study all afternoon and did not come out.
He also ordered the housekeeper to see Gu Qiancheng as soon as he came back.
The atmosphere at home was not right. Even if the housekeeper didn't say anything, Gu Qiancheng could guess something. Without any delay, Gu Qiancheng went directly to see the old man.
The old lady was alone in the study. The doors and windows were closed tightly. The room was dark, desolate and depressing. The old lady was sitting in front of the desk motionless, like a statue. If he hadn't heard him speak just now, Gu Qiancheng would have doubted the old lady.
Did something happen?
Gu Qiancheng was very uncomfortable. After greeting the old man, he received no response from the old man, so Gu Qiancheng stepped forward and opened the window.
Orange light shone in, and the entire room was enveloped in light, instantly dispelling the desolation in the room.
The sunlight at this time was not dazzling at all, but the moment the window opened, the old man still stretched out his hand to block his eyes and blinked for a long time before he could adapt to the light in the room.
"Qiancheng, sit down." The old man's voice was rough and dry. Gu Qiancheng hurriedly poured a cup of tea for the old man, but found that the flower water had cooled down. Gu Qiancheng stood up and wanted to change the old man to a pot of warm water, but the old man picked up the table.
Serve me some ice-cold tea and drink it all in one gulp. "No need to bother."
"Grandpa, are you okay?" Gu Qiancheng glanced at the old man worriedly.
The old man's condition was very bad. He seemed to have suffered a severe blow. His whole body was depressed and his eyes had no energy at all.
"Don't worry, Grandpa will be fine." The old man cheered up. The Gu family's current situation cannot allow anything to happen to him.
Gu Qiancheng became more and more uneasy and stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, let me take your pulse." Nothing can happen to the old man now, otherwise everyone in the Gu family will have to observe filial piety and the situation that was finally opened will be reversed.
The old man did not refuse. Gu Qiancheng calmed down and checked the old man's pulse. His face gradually became serious, "Grandpa, are you angry again?"
"Grandpa has figured it out now and won't be angry anymore." The old man waved his hand, indicating that he was fine now.
"It's best for my grandfather to think so. We have Chenghuan in our family, and the two brothers Chengyi will only get better and better in the future. You should take good care of yourself and wait for your great-grandson." Gu Qiancheng tried his best to say good things.
At the same time, she also told the old man that as long as Chenghuan and Chengyi were in the Gu family, she would take care of the Gu family and help the two brothers with all her heart.
"You're right, Cheng Huan and Cheng Yi are good. I'm still waiting to enjoy their blessings, but nothing will happen." The old man nodded heavily, as if to convince himself.
If Concubine Gu was brought in today, the old man would be severely hit. The married daughter is indeed unreliable. If the Gu family wants to be prosperous, their descendants must live up to their expectations. Otherwise, the Gu family will become a stepping stone for Concubine Gu and the fifth prince. For their success,
The road can be sacrificed at any time.
"Grandpa, you are right to think so. The days are still long and our family will get better and better in the future. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about other things." Gu Qiancheng smoothly removed the cold water from the old man's hand.
.
The old man nodded with a smile, and the gloom on his face disappeared a lot, "Qiancheng, how are you preparing for the competition?"
"The competition is with the Six Arts of a Gentleman. This all relies on accumulation over time. What's the use of improvising? What's more, I don't need to win more. As long as I can beat Mr. Cheng in one game, he will lose." Gu Qian
Cheng didn't take the competition seriously at all. After all, she was not the one who couldn't afford to lose.
The old man also thought of this and couldn't help laughing, "Qiancheng, you are so treacherous. Mr. Cheng and his gang are probably scratching their heads and giving you a headache."
"It's right to give the Cheng family a headache. General Cheng has gone too far to bully others." Seeing that the old man was in a good mood, Gu Qiancheng stepped forward and helped the old man up, "Grandpa, you haven't gone to see Cheng Huan today. I'll help you go."
.”
Gu Qiancheng was afraid that Mr. Cai would be depressed, so he used this as an excuse to let him go for a walk to relieve his depression.
The old man knew that Qian Cheng's kindness was not rejected. Although he was too lazy to move, he still managed to get up and walk out.
Gu Qiancheng took the old man for a spin outside the yard. He told many interesting things on the way and made the old man laugh until he went to see Cheng Huan.
When Gu Qiancheng and the old man came over, the second master Gu and the second wife were not there, and only Qian Meng accompanied Chenghuan.
Gu Qianmeng and Gu Chenghuan have never been able to talk to each other. Apart from polite greetings, the two siblings hardly speak to each other.
Normally it was fine, but at this time it was awkward for the two of them to be alone. They stared at each other and wanted to break the silence, but they didn't know how to speak. Fortunately, Gu Qiancheng and the old man came.
"Grandpa, sister." Gu Qianmeng welcomed Gu Qiancheng's appearance from the bottom of her heart for the first time. If Gu Qiancheng and the old man hadn't come in in time, Gu Qianmeng would have considered whether to read to Chenghuan, so as not to disturb her siblings.
The two of them were embarrassed.
Cheng Huan was secretly relieved when he saw the old man and Qian Cheng coming in. It wasn't that he didn't like Qian Meng, on the contrary, he cared about Qian Meng as a sister, but there was nothing to say between them.
In the past, Qian Meng would only lecture him and tell him all kinds of bad things. Now that he has developed in the military and is injured at this time, Qian Meng cannot teach him a lesson.
The old man finally felt better, but he couldn't help but feel depressed after seeing this scene.
This second-bedroom apartment is really worrying.
Well, fortunately, there is Cheng Huan in the second room. As long as Cheng Huan and Cheng Yi are good, and the two brothers protect and support each other, the Gu family will surely prosper.
The old man sat beside Cheng Huan's bed and asked about Gu Chenghuan's injury in detail. Thinking of the scene of Cheng Huan and Qian Meng looking at each other in silence, he was afraid that Cheng Huan would be bored by recovering from his injuries alone, so he said: "Cheng Huan, I haven't told you the news about your injury yet.
Chengyi, I will ask the housekeeper to pick Chengyi back when I get back, and let Chengyi accompany you these days." This is also a way for the two brothers to enhance their relationship.
"Will it delay Chengyi's studies?" Chenghuan is not a selfish person. He could hide his humiliation for the Cheng family before, so why would he delay Chengyi's studies now for his own sake?
The old man smiled and shook his head: "No, and even if you don't pick him up today, he will come back tomorrow."
How could Chengyi sit still when he heard that Gu Qiancheng was going to compete with Mr. Cheng San?
What the old man said was absolutely correct. Chengyi didn't know about Cheng Huan's injury, but he knew about the competition between Gu Qiancheng and Master Cheng.
"Who is Young Master Cheng? Did he bully my sister? No, I have to go home and take a look." Gu Chengyi is a sister-controller. His first reaction is that the Cheng family bullied his sister, otherwise his sister is such a good person.
, will not take the initiative to find trouble for anyone.
How is Gu Qiancheng? If the Cheng family heard about it, they would definitely vomit blood. Even if it was a big deal, it would cause uproar in the city. How could Gu Qiancheng be so good if he put a good scholar on the fire?
Gu Chengyi immediately went to the dean of the academy to ask for leave. The reason was that something happened at home, his grandfather was not feeling well, and his parents were not at home. He wanted to go back to pay homage to his father.
Great Qin values filial piety, and the dean of the academy readily approved the leave. Gu Chengyi took the leave and went to rent a carriage, but when he was about to leave, he met Jing Yan, or Jing Yan was waiting for him here specially.
"I'll help you retreat your carriage. Come on, I'll take you back." Jing Yan has his own carriage, which is both more comfortable and faster than the carriages rented by the academy, but...
