With the current reputation of the Gu family, it is impossible to invite girls from famous and powerful families, not to mention that the Gu family's flower viewing party was held in such a hurry.
But it was different when the Gu family released the news that the fifth prince would come.
There is never a shortage of people who seek power and status in this world. Even if they don't want to gain power and status, they don't want to offend the fifth prince. People who receive the Gu family's post will still go as promised, no matter how unhappy they feel.
Gu Qiancheng made an announcement to the people in the other courtyard and went to pick up Mr. Gu outside the city early in the morning.
Coincidentally, they met Yan Qing who was patrolling at the gate of the city. However, there were so many people entering and exiting the city in the morning. There were people inside and outside, so the two of them could not talk. Gu Qiancheng just opened the car window and talked to Yan Qing.
A hello.
It was just a face-to-face meeting, but Yan Qing was happy all morning. Even if someone made trouble at the city gate, Yan Qing did not lose his temper and even dealt with it lightly. This made the people around him feel very subtle.
Seeing the old man again, Gu Qiancheng's mood was also very subtle.
There are expectations, but more of them are resistance.
She didn't want to see an old man who kept plotting against her. If possible, it would be best not to meet each other in this life, but she couldn't...
"Grandpa, grandpa..." Gu Qiancheng's voice trembled and he stood up from the chair, as if he didn't believe what he saw.
His silver hair was withered and dull, his face and body were thin and dry, his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were cloudy and without any luster, his left hand was shaking uncontrollably, and he needed help to walk. Every step he took was very difficult.
It’s only been half a year, how come it’s become like this?
Gu Qiancheng stepped forward quickly and helped the old man up on his behalf, "Grandpa, are you okay?" Not to mention that they had been living in the same house for more than half a year, even if they were a strange old man, Gu Qiancheng didn't understand after seeing him.
It is impossible to sit back and watch.
The old man didn't have the same spirit as when we first met him. He looked like he was going to die at any time.
Gu Qiancheng couldn't imagine how the old man who had lived a glorious life could accept his current situation.
Gu Qiancheng's eyes were red, and a flash of self-blame flashed in her eyes. She knew very well that the old man would become like this, and she had an unshirkable responsibility.
As a granddaughter, she is really unfilial.
"People are like this when they get old. There is nothing to worry about." Mr. Gu stretched out his right hand that could still move freely and patted Gu Qiancheng: "Don't worry, grandpa can still live for two years."
Even if he clings on, he will have to wait until news of the old emperor's unwellness spreads before he dies. At that time, the family must return to their ancestral home and observe filial piety to avoid disaster.
Gu Qiancheng didn't say anything, he just grabbed the old man's skinny right hand and checked his pulse.
The room became quiet for a moment. Gu Chenghuan, who had rushed over after receiving the news, saw this scene from a distance and hurriedly stopped, and the smile on his face faded a bit.
Walking to the door quietly, Gu Chenghuan did not rush in, but stood there and waited until Gu Qiancheng finished checking his pulse and then walked into the house.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he met Gu Qiancheng's gentle eyes. Chenghuan's eyes lit up and he grinned: "Sister Qiancheng, I miss you so much." This is the simplest and most sincere feeling.
"I miss you too. Why have you grown taller again after half a year?" Gu Qiancheng stood up and compared with Gu Chenghuan. There was only half a head difference between the two of them. We don't need to wait until next year, Gu Chenghuan will be better than Gu Qiancheng.
Higher.
Gu Chenghuan was very happy, "My grandfather said that if boys grow slower than two years, I will grow taller. I will definitely be taller than you, sister Qiancheng." In front of Gu Qiancheng, Chenghuan only wanted to be a child.
"You will definitely be taller than me."
Relationships are indeed about getting along. Gu Qiancheng found that Chenghuan felt a little proud when he talked about "grandfather said". It can be seen that in the past six months of getting along, the relationship between Chenghuan and his grandfather has also improved, at least it is not like before.
Just as formulaic.
It is a good thing to have the love and affection of elders. For children, the love and guidance from their elders cannot be replaced by anyone.
Gu Chenghuan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, but he quickly restrained himself. Instead of continuing to talk about his own affairs, he asked: "Sister Qiancheng, how is my grandfather's health? I asked my servant to hire a doctor.
At home, my grandfather just refused and said he was fine."
"Grandpa is in good health. Don't worry." Gu Qiancheng was a little worried when he thought that there were no people on the road. He said, "Grandpa, this is too far from the capital. You really need to find a doctor or an imperial physician."
It’s inconvenient, you can’t be without a doctor by your side, let’s go back to Beijing.”
This is a good place for retirement, but it is not suitable for a patient like Mrs. Gu.
"The capital..." was so smoky that the old man didn't want to go back at all.
In the past six months, he has lived the most relaxed life after letting go of the Gu family.
"Grandpa, you can build a garden and live at home like Mr. Feng." Gu Qiancheng gave a suggestion, but then said: "Grandpa, my father and my second uncle are not Mr. Feng. The Gu family needs you to be in charge."
Otherwise, dramas like the Jiangnan salt merchants cheating money will definitely happen again. Not to mention that the Gu family does not have gold and silver, even if they do, they will be defrauded sooner or later.
Mr. Gu knew very well how much his son weighed. They always thought that their talents were unappreciated and that they would skyrocket if given the chance. But in fact, no matter how many opportunities they were given, they would not be able to become the second Master Feng.
Mr. Gu did not refuse, and nodded slightly, agreeing with Gu Qiancheng's opinion.
The smile on Gu Qiancheng's face instantly became a little brighter.
With the old man suppressing the Gu family, do the Gu family members still dare to show off?
The old lady still wants to be an old feudal lord who speaks the truth?
Dream on!
Gu Chenghuan obviously knew what Gu Qiancheng and the old man were talking about. His face was not as cheerful as before, and he was depressed. When the old man went down to change clothes, Gu Chenghuan stood in front of Gu Qiancheng, lowered his head and said: "Sister Qiancheng, I'm sorry.
.”
His voice was choked but he tried his best not to cry. To say he didn't feel bad would be a lie. Gu Qiancheng sighed softly: "Chenghuan, don't take it to heart, it has nothing to do with you."
"They are my parents and sister." How could it not be related?
"I'm also your sister, so... don't take it personally." Gu Qiancheng really doesn't blame Cheng Huan.
Some things are not yours to choose. Destiny always likes to play tricks. If you want to work hard to make progress, you may have family and relatives behind you who are holding you back. If you want to be a playboy, there will be relatives behind you who will push you to make progress.
The old man Gu changed his clothes and came out. Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Huan helped the old man get into the carriage. No matter what feelings Gu Qiancheng had for the old man, he took good care of the old man along the way. Even the old man Gu sighed: This "unfilial"
"My granddaughter is more thoughtful than his 'filial sons and virtuous grandchildren'.
At the same time, the "filial son and virtuous grandson" in the words of the old man of the Gu family checked the details for the last time, making sure that there could be no mistakes. If any accident happened between Gu Qiancheng and the wealthy businessman who was old enough to be Gu Qiancheng's father, Gu Qiancheng would be in trouble.
Qiancheng had to marry him.
They were immersed in joy and did not know that they were shooting themselves in the foot this time...
