Wearing a crane cloak, he was also wearing a crimson official uniform embroidered with clouds and wild geese. At this moment, the young man was looking at the people in the room with a smile, and his slightly upturned peach blossom eyes were full of joy.
People in the room stood up one after another, "Xiaobao"
Gu Chengli was very excited when he saw his younger brother. He quickly walked forward and looked at Gu Chengyu carefully.
"Brother, you are finally here." It's always a bit exciting to see long-lost relatives, and Gu Chengyu is no exception.
Gu Chengli has always been very kind to him and always thinks of him. When the family was not separated and the family was still poor, the eldest brother did not mind having him as a burden to his younger brother.
Gu Chengli began to say, "I have grown taller, I have grown up."
Gu Chengyu also looked Gu Chengli up and down. He hadn't seen her for more than two years, and Gu Chengli hadn't changed much. It was just that among the black hair on his head, there were occasionally silver threads hidden in it.
He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, everyone will grow old, and the eldest brother has gray hair so early.
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and grabbed Gu Chengli's arm, "Brother"
"Hey" Gu Chengli also grabbed Gu Chengyu's hand excitedly, and just as he was about to say something, a burst of laughter rang out in the room.
Gu Wan covered her mouth and said with a smile, "You guys are too clingy. Together we are just decorations. Do you think we are still there?"
Everyone in the room was immediately amused by Gu Wan, and even Mrs. Lu was in a good mood today.
Although they are both stepchildren, they used to live together anyway. We haven't seen each other for more than two years, and I actually miss them a little bit.
Besides, since coming to the capital, Xiaobao has to go to the Yamen every day. She and the old man are the only two masters in this big mansion, so it's always a bit lonely.
Now that a bunch of people have arrived, the house will definitely be more lively, if nothing else.
The Gu Chengyu brothers were a little embarrassed when they heard this, and quickly turned around to look at everyone.
"Father, mother, uncle, sister-in-law, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law" After calling everyone older than him, it was the younger generation's turn to greet him.
Gu Chengyu untied his cloak and handed it to Caiyun who was waiting at the side. Then he walked to the second seat on the left and sat down. Several juniors came forward to greet him.
At this time, Lonicera entered the room with a tray, walked in front of everyone, saluted, and then stood next to Gu Chengyu.
Everyone was a little confused when they saw several purses placed on it.
Wang Yueniang was very excited when she saw Gu Chengyu enter the house. This was her son's brother-in-law who became a high official.
"Brother Chang, hurry up and call your uncle." She put Brother Chang, who was just over 3 years old, on the ground and urged Brother Chang to go to Gu Chengyu's place alone.
Those purses must be gifts prepared by Gu Chengyu for the younger generation. This younger uncle has always been generous.
Brother Chang has no father, and his two brothers don't care about him. Although they can get a little money every year, after the money is divided between Erlang and Sanlang, there is not much left.
She was a concubine, and Brother Chang was still a concubine. Even if she tried to find someone to judge her, no one would pay attention.
It would be good to be able to give them a few dozen taels of silver a year for expenses. Sanlang only agreed to give them because he felt sorry for their mother and son. Otherwise, according to Erlang's temperament, he would definitely let them fend for themselves.
Brother Chang originally lived in Shangling Village and didn't meet many strangers. He was a little shy after meeting so many people unexpectedly.
At this moment, Wang Yueniang pushed so hard that she almost cried. Tears were already rolling in her eyes, but they had not yet fallen.
"Mother," he quickly turned around and called softly.
Gu Chengyu didn't notice the situation here. He was looking at the people in the house. The eldest brother's house came to the house with the couple, Da Lang, and the fourth daughter, Gu Xing. Gu Xing was already fifteen. When Gu Chengli wrote a letter before, he said that he had already settled in his hometown.
Got a kiss.
Uncle Gu and Gu Wanhua were sitting in a corner of the house. After not seeing each other for more than two years, Gu Chengyu felt that Uncle Gu had aged a lot. The deep ravine between his eyebrows looked like it had been plowed, which showed that he had a lot of troubles in his daily life.
.
"It's been a long time, uncle, but he's still feeling strong lately."
Uncle Gu stood up in excitement, "You are in good health and your bones are good. As soon as you arrived at the house, I heard that you had been promoted. It is really great news."
Gu Chengyu had to stand up and said something special, "The emperor's grace is so great, but it's also a fluke."
He turned his gaze away from Yanbi, who was sitting silently aside. Yanbi pulled Gu Wanhua to stand up and saluted Gu Chengyu, "I've seen you, uncle."
Gu Chengyu nodded, "No need to be polite."
He was complaining in his heart that a serious wife would not take her out with her, but she would take this concubine around with her everywhere.
However, this is someone else's family matter after all, and Gu Chengyu is not a nosy person.
I heard that Gu Wanhua didn't want to see the eldest son born to his wife. He was really a fool. Gu Chengyu wouldn't have asked without looking at Uncle Gu until he brought the child.
This Yanbi is really good at it. Gu Chengyu took a look and found that she was not very beautiful. She was two years older than Gu Wanhua.
I don’t know what kind of ecstasy soup was given to Gu Wanhua to make him so determined.
Maybe, this is love
Next to them sat the eldest sister's family. Their eldest daughter, Wang Tian'er, had already gotten married and did not come to the capital with her. None of their married daughters came this time, so there were far fewer people than Gu Chengyu expected.
Yes, after all, she is a married girl. If she is close, she can still move around as a relative. If she is far away, there will be less contact.
Next to the eldest sister sat the tall and sturdy Wang Dou. Wang Dou was the same age as him, but his body was much stronger than his. He was quite honest and honest. When he saw him looking over, he quickly stood up and saluted.
Gu Chengyu was still waiting to take another look, but he felt that his whole body was wrapped in a gaze as cold as a snake. He quickly turned his head to look, and met Erlang who had not had time to look back.
Erlang might as well have Gu Chengyu suddenly turn around and look over, but Gu Chengyu caught him in the act.
He couldn't help but panic, his eyes began to dodge, and he did not dare to look at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu narrowed his eyes. He and Erlang were born to be in conflict. For some reason, Erlang just didn't like him. It can only be said that some people are born with magnetic fields that are at odds with each other.
However, for Gu Chengyu, Erlang was not qualified enough for him to take him to heart. Their identities were not equal, and he was not even in the mood to look at him.
Naturally, Gu Chengyu looked past Erlang and began to look at others.
Suddenly, they discovered that there was a strange couple sitting next to Erlang. Next to them was a strange girl. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old and quite pretty. At this time, the three of them were looking at the furnishings in the room.
To use an old saying from the previous life, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, with greed shining in her eyes.
Gu Chengyu frowned slightly, could this be Erlang's fiancée and his family?
It's already very strange to follow them to the capital. Today, their family got together, and these three people are still staying here. Why are they so indifferent?
When the man saw Gu Chengyu looking over, he stood up quickly, put on a flattering smile, and said, "This is a senior official of the Gu family, Erlang's uncle, right?"
