Chapter five hundred and fiftieth fighting the autumn wind
After Gu Chengyu settled Zhu Pang properly, he returned to his old house.
Madam Liu was sitting on a stool in the main room, peeking at Madam Lu who was sitting on the Kang.
She had seen Gu Chengyu look so good before, and she was still wondering. With He's appearance, how could she have such a good-looking son, even with the upright-looking Gu Changqing?
Mrs. Lu felt a little uncomfortable listening to the conversation between Uncle Gu and the three brothers.
She had never met Mrs. Liu, so she had nothing to say if they were not familiar with each other. What's more, Mrs. Liu had been eyeing the gold, silver and gemstone hairpin on her head, and her appraising eyes made her feel unhappy.
From Gu Changbai's description, she could be sure that this was the one who came back to fight the autumn wind, and maybe he would fight the autumn wind until he died of old age.
"It's a coincidence that we stayed in the capital for a long time and happened to meet my nephew. Thanks to my nephew's care, my life has become easier these days. This time he went back to his hometown to visit relatives. I thought that I haven't seen you in so many years.
, just come back and have a look."
Gu Changbai took a tea bowl and took a sip of tea. He saw that the tea soup was clear and fragrant with a mellow taste. It should not be cheap.
The tea served by the Gu family was so good? He was a little curious about the Gu family's sudden fortune. What on earth did the third brother and the others do for a living, and how could they be so rich?
"Second brother and second sister-in-law should have come back to see us a long time ago. After so many years of separation, we are already old. If we don't come back, we may never see each other again."
Father Gu sighed, feeling that things in the world are impermanent.
He noticed that the Changbai couple did not dress as if they had made a fortune. When they fled to the south, they thought they were following their uncle to enjoy their fortune.
Besides, if you had made a fortune, you would have definitely returned to your hometown long ago. Why haven't you come back for so many years? Who doesn't want to return to his hometown in glory?
Unexpectedly, after thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, his life in Jingyuan Prefecture would become better and better.
"That's a coincidence. Why did you go to the capital? Why are you the only two coming back this time? Where are the rest of the family?"
It was a little strange when Uncle Gu asked about this. Just now, the second son only talked about the family's life in Yingnan Mansion, and also talked about the eldest son who died young. But what about the other people? The second son is in Yingnan Mansion. How many things did the eldest son leave behind?
Where's the baby?
When Gu Changbai heard Uncle Gu talking about this, his face felt unnatural for a moment.
"The eldest grandson is now studying in the capital. I have to thank Xiaobao for this. Xiaobao helped find that school, otherwise Brother Fang wouldn't have been able to enter that academy. The little granddaughter is weak and cannot adapt to the climate as soon as she arrives in the capital.
You're still sick! So I didn't let you come."
When Gu Changbai said this, his tone paused.
Then he took a look at the movement in the yard, and then continued: "The eldest granddaughter was abducted when she was a child, and she has not been found yet. The younger grandson got an emergency and went there."
Gu Changbai's expression was gloomy, and he couldn't help but shed sad tears when he thought of Xiaoyao in the capital.
I wonder if he will ever see Xiaoyao again in his lifetime. Will those people really let him see Xiaoyao again? He suddenly felt a little unsure at this moment.
Uncle Gu and Father Gu also sighed after hearing this. They both lamented that their second brother went to Yingnan Mansion and lived such a miserable life.
"Alas! I have suffered so much for you these years, why didn't you come back earlier?" Uncle Gu sighed.
Mrs. Lu curled her lips after hearing this, "How miserable? If it weren't for Xiaobao, the Gu family would have been even worse than Gu Changbai's family!"
"Brother and sister, what kind of material are your clothes made of? Why are they so shiny?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't help it now. The men said that when the women got together, didn't they just talk about rouge, gouache and clothes?
Mrs. Lu took a look at the clothes she was wearing and saw that they were made of the material brought back by Xiaobao. She said it was Shu brocade. The material was very valuable!
She was wearing a satin dress with gold and silver engraved silk and a Ruyi moire pattern, and the gold and silver threads on it really reflected a little bit of light in the sunlight.
"Second sister-in-law, this is the material Xiaobao brought back. I can't explain it either."
At this moment, Mrs. Lu regretted wearing this clothes, and she couldn't wear the gold hairpin and precious stones on her head.
Originally, I didn’t want Xiaobao to be embarrassed in front of his friends, but who would have thought that there would be another slutty relative?
She knew that Mr. Liu couldn't pull it out because of the sight of her. Seeing that she was dressed so richly, she might want to stay at her house and never leave.
"Hey! My little treasure is really promising, and he is very filial to you."
Ms. Liu said a few words of flattery, but in her heart she was thinking that no matter how rich she was, she was just filling in a house, so what was there to be proud of?
In the blink of an eye, Liu suddenly saw Lu's face with delicate and smooth skin, and Liu felt sour in her heart.
Thinking of his rough and dark yellow face, I couldn't help but envy Mrs. Lu's good fortune.
"I have been in Yingnan Mansion for nearly twenty years, and I have become accustomed to the life there. Third brother, our Gu family has really grown up. What do third brother and eldest brother do for a living now?"
Gu Chengyu entered the courtyard gate and saw that the clansmen and villagers had dispersed. He was relieved.
"Uncle! Second uncle! Dad!"
Gu Chengyu entered the main room and shouted to the three people talking in the room.
In a blink of an eye, he saw the two people sitting on the other side, "Second uncle! Mother!"
"Xiaobao! Come here quickly."
Mrs. Lu was filled with joy when she saw her son. He had just come back and she hadn't had time to talk to him properly.
Mrs. Lu was not Gu Changqing, so she naturally did not feel much joy at the uninvited guests like Gu Changbai and his wife. On the contrary, these people came and hindered her from talking to Xiaobao.
Gu Chengyu smiled. In fact, he also had a lot to say to his parents. But his uncle and the others were all here at the moment, so some words were not suitable to be said on the spot.
Mrs. Lu took another look at her son, and she felt that Xiaobao looked good. There was definitely no one in the world who was prettier than Xiaobao.
Surrounded by Lu's loving eyes, Gu Chengyu felt warm all over.
"Mom! I haven't seen you for more than a year. How are you and dad? Do you miss me?"
Gu Chengyu stepped forward and let Mr. Lu look him over. At the same time, he was thinking about why he had to take his parents to the capital this time.
"Okay! You're fine! Your father still often goes to work in the fields and is in very good health. I miss you, but you never come back." Madam Lu only has eyes for her son at the moment, and has long forgotten Madam Liu.
Beyond the sky.
"Mom! When I return to Beijing this time, I must bring you and dad with me. Once I become an official, it will not be easy to go home again. Our Jingyuan Mansion is quite far from the capital, and we have to wait three years before we can apply for family leave.
, this is too long."
"What? Three years? That's really too long." Ms. Lu exclaimed. She was originally hesitant about following Xiaobao to the capital, but now she has made up her mind and must follow Xiaobao to the capital.
"What? Changqing, are you going to the capital with Xiaobao?" This exclamation came from Uncle Gu. He did not expect that the third brother's family would have such a plan.
Dad Gu took out his cigarette rod and said, "Brother! This matter has not been decided yet. We were discussing it a few days ago!"
When Gu Changbai heard that Father Gu said he was going to the capital, his heart moved slightly.
