Chapter 380 Are you the baby of Gu Changqing's family?
Gu Chengyu sent Ye Zhiqiu back to Ye's house before returning to Gu's house.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he heard Ming Yan's surprised voice, "Sir! Do you think that is the person who often hangs around in front of the house?"
As soon as Ming Yan drove the carriage to the door of Gu's mansion, he saw a man standing at the gate, looking at Gu's mansion. The way he looked up and down, left and right, was strange.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he also opened the curtain and looked outside.
Sure enough, there was a man in his fifties standing in front of the house. This man was wearing a short indigo brown jacket with a cross-collar. The material was old and slightly faded, but there was no patch.
Gu Chengyu only took a look at the man's clothes and then focused on the man's face. At this glance, he felt that the man looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
But Gu Chengyu has a good memory, so if he had seen him before, he should be able to remember who it was. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
It's not like he's seen this before, he should look very similar to that person. Putting down the curtain of the carriage, Gu Chengyu thought about it in his mind.
The man stood in front of Gu's father's door, looking at this wealthy family. Could it be that this was the family he was talking about? But there were carriages coming and going from this family, and he couldn't see the face of the owner, so he couldn't be sure.
Besides, there were many wealthy families around here, and even if he wanted to find someone to inquire, he couldn't find anyone. The servant girl of the family next door often came out to do shopping, but she was such a scornful person. When she saw that he was so poor, he didn't even think about it.
I didn't want to pay attention to him, rolled my eyes at him, and walked away.
Therefore, he has been lingering in front of this house for several days, not daring to go forward and ask for fear of making a mistake. But today he has made up his mind to go forward and ask.
He had seen this carriage coming and going in the past two days. It should be the owner of this mansion. The concierge opened the west corner door, and Ming Yan drove the carriage to go in. He winked at the concierge and raised his chin at the man.
The concierge looked over there and saw that the man was coming again. He immediately understood and rushed forward to stop the man.
Who would have thought that this man didn't seem to have any intention of leaving today and was still staying where he was. Seeing that the concierge was about to come, he quickly stepped forward in three steps and then shouted in the end: "May I ask if the master is from Shanhe Town, Jingyuan Prefecture?
"
When Gu Chengyu, who was sitting in the carriage, heard this, he knew that this man must be that person. It seemed that he had come to the capital, but why not to Shangling Village but to the capital?
The foundation and ancestral land of the Gu family is in Shanngling Village. He and Gu Wanqian are the only ones in the capital. This person's purpose is somewhat impure, and how did he find him?
In any case, since the other party is asking, Gu Chengyu cannot ignore it. If he is not careful and the censors take advantage of the loophole, it will be a big trouble.
Ming Yan stopped the carriage and looked back. His family was naturally from Shanhe Town, Jingyuan Prefecture. He didn't know who this person was. Could he be a neighbor? Ming Yan thought about it carefully and found that he had never seen this person before.
Not to mention the Gu family members, Ming Yan had seen every one of them, and he was sure that there was no such person among the Gu family.
"Sir! What do you think?" Ming Yan was a little undecided and asked Gu Chengyu in the carriage.
"Tell the steward to take the person to the hall of the outer courtyard. I will go there in a moment." Gu Chengyu closed his eyes and thought about this person's purpose in his heart, hoping that he was not a nuisance.
Ming Yan was a little surprised. Did the Lord know this person? He gave instructions to the porter and drove the carriage into the corner gate.
"Hey? Wait!" The man still wanted to stop the carriage. If the carriage was allowed in, wouldn't his trip be in vain?
"Master, please don't panic. Our lord invites you to go and talk to me at home." The concierge did not look down on the man because of his poor attire. This was a guest that his lord had ordered to see.
Besides, the foreign steward of the house has repeatedly ordered that no matter who comes to the door, etiquette is essential. If someone looks down on others, he will be severely punished once discovered.
The man was shocked and doubtful. Are you letting him in? Did the person in the carriage recognize him? There was also a concierge calling you sir. It was not like he hadn't heard any news in the past few days. That gentleman might be the Gu family, but who should be responsible for the Gu family?
Official? He couldn't help but feel sluggish. He hadn't been back for many years. The Gu family had become prosperous.
The porter asked him to rest for a while at the corner door, while he went to call the steward of the outer courtyard.
Gu Chengyu returned to his yard and put down his official uniform. After Ji Furui was sent away, he moved back to his yard. After all, the house in the front yard was smaller than the one in the inner yard, so it was not comfortable to live in.
There are separate small courtyards in the inner courtyard, and there is a study room next to the bedroom, which saves him the inconvenience of having to run to the outer study room to practice calligraphy early in the morning every day.
Li Chun quickly stepped forward to take Gu Chengyu's official uniform and hung it up. He handed Gu Chengyu a pea green round-neck robe with white embroidered bamboo leaves. Gu Chengyu casually took it and put it on, which made Li Chun want to step forward and help him get dressed.
After a pause, he turned around and handed over his wallet and other items.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, women are more attentive. It's not that Ming Mo and the others don't serve well, on the contrary, Ming Mo and the others are also very attentive. But after all, men are no more careful than women.
Li Chun took good care of the house, had a good eye for matching clothes and accessories, and was careful and fast. Gu Chengyu was satisfied with these points.
Gu Chengyu brought Ming Mo to the outer courtyard, and Manager Chen immediately greeted him, "Sir! We are already waiting in the hall."
Gu Chengyu nodded and walked towards the hall. As soon as he entered the door, he found the man sitting upright, not daring to move at all, and looking at the ground with dull eyes.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up and saw that he was an aristocratic young man. He quickly stood up from his armchair.
Gu Chengyu didn't say anything and sat down directly at the top. He focused his attention on the man and looked at him a few times. His sharp eyes made the man bewildered.
"Are you a child of Gu Changqing's family?" The man hesitated, but still spoke.
"I wonder who you are? What is your relationship with the Gu family?" Gu Chengyu did not answer him directly, but asked about the man's origins.
When the man saw Gu Chengyu's cold attitude, he started to feel nervous. He said bravely: "Gu Changqing is my younger brother, and my name is Gu Changbai."
As soon as he said this, Ming Mo was shocked. The second uncle of the Gu family, whom he had never met before, actually showed up and came to the capital? This seems strange. If you want to find relatives, shouldn't you return to your hometown first?
?After all, the Gu family has the largest number there. Could it be that they happen to be in the capital?
"You said you are Gu Changbai, what's the proof?"
Of course Gu Chengyu saw that he was Gu Changbai, but Gu Changbai's arrival was so strange that he did not dare to rush up to recognize his relatives. He had never met his second uncle, and only heard a few words from his father. After so many years, who knows
