Gu Chengyu said this because once he recognizes the person immediately, he must take the person back to the house. It is not appropriate to take the person back to the house rashly without knowing his purpose. It is better to wait and observe before recognizing the person.
Gu Changbai was stunned by these words. He groped around on his body and finally found that Lu Yin didn't have it with him, so he couldn't prove that he was Gu Changbai.
"I have a road guide, but I didn't bring it with me. I'm at the inn. Wait until I get back to show it to you." As he said that, Gu Changbai actually turned around and went back to get the road guide.
"Wait a minute! Even if there is a guide, who knows where you got it from? You said you are my second uncle, but my second uncle went to the land south of the Yangtze River and lived a good life. And you"
Gu Chengyu looked Gu Changbai up and down, wondering why he was living in such a miserable state?
Gu Chengyu didn't lie. Back then, he heard his father mention that Gu Erbo had gone to join his uncle who was doing business in Jiangnan. He also said that his uncle was very good at business, not to mention his wealth.
That's a small amount of money.
Logically speaking, Uncle Gu would not live in such a miserable state, but now he looks like this.
"That road guide was mine at that time." Gu Changbai was a little annoyed. He just noticed that Gu Chengyu said that he was the second uncle. It seemed that he was really a boy from the Changqing family.
How could Chang Qing have such a big son? It was more than a year before Chang Qing got married before he left his hometown. He had also seen what Chang Qing’s mother-in-law, He, looked like. The boy in front of him
There's no way he can match up with He. He's face is not even that of Zhou Zheng.
Although Chang Qing's face was better looking than that of him and his eldest brother, it could only be regarded as correct. Compared with the young man in front of him, it was so different that he couldn't figure it out.
"Then tell me how you found him?" Gu Chengyu had no doubt whether he was Gu Changbai, because his face looked very similar to Gu Changsong's, and he knew they were brothers at a glance.
What he was interested in was who ordered Gu Changbai to appear and what was the purpose of looking for him. Otherwise, how did Gu Changbai know that he was in the capital before he returned to Shangling Village? Don't talk about Gu Changbai's previous experience.
Living in the capital, that's impossible, because Gu Changbai has roads leading to him.
And Gu Changbai also said just now that he was staying in an inn.
When Gu Changbai heard this, he suddenly remembered something, and then his eyes turned red, and he looked at Gu Chengyu with sorrow in his eyes.
"I live in Yingnan Mansion. My eldest son left a few years ago, leaving behind a grandson and two granddaughters. But when the eldest granddaughter was five years old, she was watching a lantern festival on the street and was abducted by a showgirl. No, before
Not long after, the philanderer went to Yingnan Mansion again, and was caught by the magistrate of Yingnan Mansion. Later, they said that my eldest granddaughter had been sold to the capital, and I came here with my family to find a relative."
When Gu Changbai talked about this, he burst into tears and called his poor eldest granddaughter.
Gu Chengyu was shocked when he heard this. This is such a big deal! Could it be what he thought?
"Later, I asked about the Tianxiang Pavilion in the capital and wanted to redeem her. After asking, I found out that the eldest granddaughter was actually rescued by you. I didn't expect that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and you turned out to be a kid from the Changqing family."
Gu Changbai wiped his tears with his sleeve and said happily.
"What kid? You are already an official of the imperial court. Don't be unreasonable." Ming Mo frowned. He was afraid that Gu Changbai would use his elders' name to rely on his elders.
At the same time, he also thought about who that person was. Could it be Hua Lian who was rescued and then sent away by the adults?
Gu Chengyu didn't take this into consideration at the moment. Gu Changbai said he came to the capital to find his granddaughter, but her granddaughter ended up in a brothel. However, Gu Changbai's family did not change their original intention and even wanted to take their granddaughter back, which made him a little unbelievable.
From the aristocratic families to the common people, a woman's innocence is particularly important. Regardless of whether a woman who has been in a brothel is innocent or not, her family will generally not redeem her, or even deny it.
Or maybe those wealthy families would redeem their people and either send them to family temples, nunneries, or die, because they felt they couldn't afford to lose face.
It's doubtful that Gu Changbai didn't dislike him and wanted to redeem him. Furthermore, how did he know that he was Gu Changqing's son? He has no resemblance to his father.
Even if it was through inquiring, it would not be so detailed. There are so many people in the Gu family, how could he be sure that he was from the Gu Changqing family?
"Huh? My nephew is really promising. He is already an official of the imperial court?" Gu Changbai lost his previous caution and became more relaxed in his words and body.
"How did you know that I am from Gu Changqing's family?" Gu Chengyu stared at Gu Changbai closely, not missing the slightest change in Gu Changbai's facial expression.
"Of course I found this out." Gu Changbai paused in the middle of his sentence, and his eyes were a little dodgey. When Gu Chengyu looked at it, he narrowed his eyes. There must be something going on here.
"You said you are my second uncle, then let me ask you, why did you go to Jiangnan for decades and not send any news to the clan?" Gu Chengyu asked another question, but this question made Gu Changbai blush a little.
He took his eldest son and his mother-in-law to seek refuge with his uncle. When they arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, they were shocked by the wealth of Jiangnan. His uncle was good at business, and they lived a good life relying on him.
Later, his uncle asked him to go into business with him. He had no capital, so he went with his uncle twice to earn some hard money. Later, his uncle was deceived and lost money. Everyone's life was poor.
He also became bitter.
Later, the eldest son also became interested in other people's business to make money, and followed them several times before earning enough money. He originally wanted to go it alone, but he didn't expect that it was his first time and his body was taken back by someone he knew.
The eldest son passed away, and the daughter-in-law ran away with her family. In the end, the children left behind by the eldest son had to rely on their uncles for support.
As for how they arrived in the capital and how they knew their eldest granddaughter was here, there is a lot to say here.
"It's also my fault that I didn't show off as a person in Yingnan Mansion. I was embarrassed to spread the news to the clan. I just kept putting it off. This time, it was because you brought my eldest granddaughter back that I came to recognize her."
Gu Chengyu believed Gu Changbai's words, but Gu Changbai must have concealed many things, such as where he got the news.
Gu Changbai said that it was the prefect who caught the flower girl, which was not difficult to find out. But Gu Chengyu would not ask, so it must be true. But it was such a coincidence that he had to doubt it.
"You said that your eldest granddaughter was rescued by me, what if you were mistaken?" Gu Chengyu had already made a plan in his mind. Gu Changbai must not be allowed to live in this mansion. He still didn't know what the other party's intention was.
, we can only be cautious.
It would be better if it were some private calculations, but if it involves the court, it must be handled carefully.
