Only now did Zhang Hai feel that Gu Chengyu was a little more truthful. Gu Chengyu's previous words could not have been spoken from the bottom of his heart. It was inevitable that some of his words were not sincere.
Zhang Hai was even more impressed by the fact that he was able to express his true thoughts at this moment. He was still a simple young man.
When Gu Chengyu came out of Zhang Hai's house, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Hai's sense of him should be pretty good today. After today's conversation, the two of them should have settled their differences.
The worries he had before were finally unnecessary, and he would just work seriously in the future.
Although Zhang Hai might not stand by him if something similar happens again, but all he wants is to have an easier life in the Hanlin Academy!
Gu Chengyu returned to the house, and no one else asked Master Zhang why he summoned Gu Chengyu.
After all, when a superior summons a subordinate, it must be for errands. Some errands are very secretive, and of course one cannot inquire about them randomly.
After all, knowing too much is not a good thing sometimes. Besides, you may not be able to tell if you ask.
The day was very peaceful, and Gu Chengyu spent a peaceful day.
"Sir! Look, this is your second uncle in front of you?" Gu Chengyu is sitting in the carriage. Ye Zhiqiu has already sent him back, and he will arrive at his mansion in half a quarter of an hour.
But after a while, Ming Mo's voice was heard.
He opened the curtain and saw that the man wearing a crab-shell green collared short shirt was not Gu Changbai.
Next to him, he was wearing a suit of cyan fine cotton and looked very young. He must be the eldest grandson of Gu Changbai. The two of them were facing each other sideways, looking at the Gu family's mansion.
Gu Chengyu frowned. He asked Ming Mo to send away the money last time. Why did he find it again so quickly?
When the two people standing on the side of the mansion heard the carriage approaching, they both turned their heads and looked at the approaching carriage.
Gu Changbai couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw Ming Mo driving the car.
He knew that this hour was the time when Gu Chengyu came back from the Yamen office every day. It was self-evident who was sitting in this carriage.
Even Gu Wanfang was staring closely at the carriage. This must be the little uncle that I often mentioned, right?
Gu Chengyu was a little impatient, but finally asked Ming Mo to tell the concierge to invite the two of them to the side hall to wait.
If he always stays in front of his house like this, if someone else knows about it and spreads it outside, won't it ruin his reputation?
He planned to meet these two people first. Yesterday, he sent a message to people going to Yingnan Mansion to look at the tomb of Gu Changbai's little boy and see if there was any little boy here.
He even asked his neighbor to identify him, but he still didn't believe that the little baby would suddenly die suddenly.
After all, these things happened so fast and strangely.
There is no way to keep entangled like this. Today, let him give them a try first and see what Gu Changbai's plan is.
By the time Gu Chengyu changed into his regular clothes and rushed to the front hall, Gu Changbai and the others were already restless, wondering if they could get what they wanted this time.
Gu Chengyu followed the corridor and Shi Shiran entered the side hall.
Gu Wanfang was very curious about his uncle. He said that his uncle was not old but his official power was not small.
When they arrived today, the concierge said that the young man had invited them to wait in the side hall. It seemed that they would be able to see the real person today.
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the room, he saw Gu Changbai and his grandson sitting at the bottom. They were both looking at the tea cup in front of them in a daze and had no communication.
As soon as Gu Wanfang entered the room from Gu Chengyu, she set her sights on this person.
He was wearing a sapphire blue round-necked robe with multi-colored embroidered silver patterns and black edges. Looking at his appearance, he was even more handsome and handsome. To describe him as "the peach blossoms shine brightly" is no exaggeration.
When Gu Changbai saw Gu Chengyu enter the room, he quickly tugged on Gu Wanfang's sleeve and motioned for him to stand up and greet him.
Gu Wanfang is Gu Chengyu's junior, and she must be polite when meeting Gu Chengyu.
Even if Gu Changbai considers himself an elder, Gu Chengyu has not acknowledged it until now. In addition, Gu Chengyu is an official, so he can only follow the ceremony.
Gu Chengyu lifted his robe and sat at the top.
"No need to be polite, sit down quickly!" Gu Chengyu planned to have a showdown with Gu Changbai today, so he did not use his previous tough attitude.
Gu Wanfang felt that this little uncle looked very familiar. Huh? Isn't this one of the young men in the carriage that he saw in front of the inn that day?
When he thought about this, he felt a little uncomfortable. That day, he and his wife were kicked out by the innkeeper. The innkeeper also cursed many unpleasant words, and his uncle must have heard it.
After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he turned his attention to Gu Wanfang. With just one glance, he recognized Gu Wanfang as the poor scholar who was kicked out by the innkeeper that day.
"Brother Fang! This is your little cousin!"
Gu Changbai knew that Gu Chengyu might not be willing to acknowledge them at this moment, but Gu Chengyu was Brother Fang's elder and always wanted to be greeted first.
Gu Wanfang bowed to Gu Chengyu with a shy look and said, "My nephew Gu Wanfang has met my cousin!"
He felt a little awkward shouting at someone who was so much younger than him. But Gu Chengyu was an elder, so etiquette should not be discarded.
Gu Chengyu nodded and looked at Gu Changbai, "Who is this?"
"Look, I forgot to tell you that this is the eldest son of my boss. His name is Gu Wanfang. Just call him Brother Fang."
When Gu Changbai listened to Gu Chengyu's inquiry, he realized that Gu Chengyu had not met Brother Fang yet.
Gu Chengyu nodded clearly. How could he not know Gu Wanfang's identity?
Mingmo and the others had already figured out the situation of Gu Wanfang's family.
Gu Changbai couldn't help but feel happy when he saw that Gu Chengyu didn't object to the title. Was this acknowledgment of their identity?
"Second Uncle! I didn't know your identities before, so I have offended you in many ways. Please forgive me, Second Uncle!"
Gu Chengyu also stood up and saluted Gu Changbai.
Although he is an official, he is also a junior and should be treated as a junior.
Gu Changbai was overjoyed when he heard this and finally admitted their identities. Then Gu Chengyu wouldn't agree to the request he made later, right?
"Nephew! I told you that I couldn't lie to you. I am your second uncle. How could I pretend to be?"
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu didn't respond.
"Second uncle! What's the matter with you coming to my house this time?" He spoke impatiently to Gu Changbai, but Gu Chengyu made it clear.
Gu Changbai was stunned, as if he didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would suddenly ask these questions.
"This? Actually, I need your help with something!"
Gu Wanfang felt a little uneasy knowing that I was going to mention his studies. This little cousin was just like what I said. Although he was young, his official power was too great.
When those eyes looked at him, he was almost breathless.
"Oh? What's the matter? Second uncle, you might as well tell me!" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and said casually.
"As you know, our family has been in the capital for a long time. Brother Hua is a scholar. After coming to the capital, he has not found an academy to study."
