The old lady lives in the main room in the inner courtyard, and the mistress should be waiting at the old lady's place at this time. After all, she is the master's junior brother, and there is no son in the family, so the elders like them have to come forward to entertain her.
After the girl raised the curtain, Gu Chengyu followed her mother-in-law into the house. He quickly glanced at the people in the house, and then saluted respectfully.
"Junior Gu Chengyu has met the old lady and Mrs. Sister-in-law!" Although Gu Chengyu is old, Wu An is his senior brother, so he should be called Sister-in-law.
The old lady wore a sapphire blue double-breasted coat with large sleeves that ended at the end, a ruby-encrusted forehead wiper on her head, and an emerald blue horse-faced skirt.
The old lady looked very kind, she always smiled when talking to him, and it was obvious that she also had a cheerful personality.
"Stop being so polite, we are all members of our family! Sit down quickly!" the old lady shouted quickly. She had a good impression of this young man, he was gentle and elegant. I heard that he was the Jieyuan who won the provincial examination this time. She likes polite and talented people.
Afterlife.
Then the mistress, Tan Shi, also said a few polite words. Tan Shi usually didn't talk much, had a long face, and seemed to have a calm personality.
"How are you doing, old lady? I see that you are radiant. You are getting younger and younger. Could it be that you have some magic tricks to keep your appearance?"
Gu Chengyu had been here once before. The old lady was a lively person, especially the sweet-talking juniors. Gu Chengyu only said some words to make the old lady happy.
Sure enough, the old lady laughed loudly, pointed at Gu Chengyu and said, "Ouch! You monkey, you are always good at making my old lady happy, but did you eat honey today?"
Gu Chengyu was about to answer when he heard a burst of laughter coming from the screen behind the old lady.
From the corner of Gu Chengyu's eyes, he noticed a little bit of the crimson skirt peeking out from under the screen.
This color must be what a young girl wears. The only one who can stand behind to avoid the outside man is Senior Brother Wu's daughter.
Gu Chengyu quickly looked away, pretending not to hear, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Isn't this junior telling the truth? You have wronged me. I drank a lot of bitter tea from the third senior brother.
Woolen cloth!"
When the old lady and Mr. Tan heard the laughter, their faces showed no emotion, but in their hearts they blamed the girl for not being reserved, how could she make a sound? It seemed that the rules were not tightened enough.
"Oh? That's because your third senior brother is stingy! He can't even let you eat a piece of sweet cake! I have to scold him next time I see him!" The old lady was still joking with Gu Chengyu with a smile.
Although the Wu family was a general before, the old lady was also cheerful. However, Wu An is now a scholar, so the rules in the family must be established to prevent the people from laughing at them because they are martial artists and do not understand the rules.
Therefore, the old lady herself is also strict in rules, and her grandchildren also hired a nanny to teach them the rules.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he immediately grimaced, "The third senior brother must blame me for saying bad things about him behind his back!"
Gu Chengyu's few words made the old lady and the maids and women in the room burst into laughter. Even Mr. Tan stopped holding it and smiled several times with his lips pursed.
After about an hour and a half, Gu Chengyu said goodbye. The old lady tried to persuade him to stay and have dinner at her house, but Gu Chengyu refused.
Since all the masters and young masters of the Wu family were not here, it would be inconvenient for Gu Chengyu to stay for dinner. So he hurriedly said goodbye before dinner.
After Gu Chengyu left, the old lady called her granddaughter out from behind the screen. A punishment would definitely be necessary.
Wu Jinyan also knew that he had gotten into trouble today, so he obediently went back to the house to copy the female ring.
As she walked on the road, she thought of Gu Chengyu and laughed again. Her father's junior brother was quite interesting, and her grandmother had not been so happy for a long time.
"What do you think of An'er's junior brother?" the old lady asked about Mr. Tan.
"It goes without saying that I am talented and knowledgeable, but my wife thinks she is too glib." Tan has a quiet temperament, so naturally she feels that Gu Chengyu talks too much.
When the old lady heard this, her face became a little gloomy, "I think it's good, young people should be so energetic. Please ask more about Sister Yan's rules."
The old lady was not too angry. This daughter-in-law was just a sawed-off gourd, and the eldest son was not at home, let alone the other concubine children!
Among the grandchildren, the eldest granddaughter, also named Tan, has the same temperament as her, and only Sister Yan is more lively. She often comes to her place to relieve her boredom!
However, to be lively, you still have to understand the rules. Sister Yan broke the rules today.
Mrs. Tan also had a preference for her younger daughter. When she heard that her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with Sister Yan's rules, she also replied, "Then Gu Chengyu can be regarded as Sister Yan's elder. In fact, even if we meet her, with our elders here, it's okay."
It’s nothing serious.”
Hearing this, the old lady glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "Although Gu Chengyu is an elder, he is about the same age as Sister Yan, so it is always inappropriate. I want to punish her today because I am afraid that she will be so shameless when she goes out.
The rules are, what should I do if I lose face when I’m a guest? You, mother, should take more trouble! I’m tired, let’s take a rest, and you can go out first!”
The old lady didn't want to say any more, so she waved her hand and asked Tan to go out.
After leaving Wu Mansion, Gu Chengyu was wandering on the street, thinking about how to add makeup to Gu Wan.
He took out some of the jewelry in the space and cut some valuable wood to make furniture. He had already ordered this in Fucheng before, and he should be able to take it back with him when he goes back this time.
Regardless of whether Sun Xian will take the exam in three years' time, it is certain that he will be in the capital. What about Gu Wan? He definitely can't stay in Jingyuan Mansion, so he can only take him to the capital.
Gu Chengyu plans to buy some land for Gu Wan in the capital. In addition, Gu Wan has money, so she only needs to buy a house.
"Sir, there is Yaxing in front of you, let's go inside and have a look!" Although the capital is big, it is not easy to buy fields on the outskirts of the capital.
There were many dignitaries, and most of the land in the capital was enclosed in the form of Zhuangzi. All the good Zhuangzi were occupied by wealthy families, so if you wanted to buy it, you had to have the opportunity.
Ming Mo had a familiar tooth in this dental shop, and it was through this person that he bought the shop before.
"Ouch! What kind of wind brought little brother Ming Mo here?" When Jiang Yazi saw Gu Chengyu and Ming Mo entering the door, he immediately stepped forward to greet them.
Of course he remembered Ming Mo, who was a big customer. Although they were not the ones to discuss the price later, Ming Mo was also interested in the shop after all.
Besides, things like this are all done for the sake of the master. Since he is here, it must be that his master is in need.
"This is my young master! My young master wants to buy some land. What good land do you have? Tell me about it."
After Ming Mo made his intentions clear, he retreated behind Gu Chengyu. Since his master made the decision, it was not his turn to speak. Besides, his master was much better at bargaining than he was.
Jiang Yazi had actually seen Gu Chengyu a long time ago. When he saw Gu Chengyu's extraordinary bearing, he thought he was the master of the family and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
