The old mansion of the Xu family is a Qing Dynasty mansion bought by Mr. Xu's father from the hands of declining nobles.

Old man Xu has lived here since he was a child, and when he became an adult, he bought another house next door, repaired it, and made a cloister-style courtyard.

It takes a bit of effort to get into the main courtyard, but if you invite guests, they won't have a good time walking there.

The courtyard imitates the scenery of Suzhou gardens, which fully expresses the "change of scenery", but Gu Yanran feels that the scenery of the old house is more detailed, and it is a good place to escape the heat in summer.

Gu Yanran waited for Xu Yichen to park the car and walk with him to the main courtyard.

The plum blossoms in the courtyard of the front door are blooming just right, and the fragrance is overflowing, which were all planted by Gu Yanran himself before.

"There's nothing like Silver Lake Bay. Gu Yanran looked at the scenery in the house, and then thought about the courtyard of his home, which was a little insufficient.

"So aren't you going to move back?" He hoped that Gu Yanran would move back, first, he didn't worry about her being out alone, and second, she was here, and the house was lively.

Although he is so busy that he has no free time on weekdays, he will go back to his old house unless he has to.

The old house has a sense of tranquility and far-reaching, suitable for self-cultivation, the pace of development outside is too fast, here he has a sense of belonging, and he grew up here since he was a child, and he really misses moving out.

Gu Yanran shook his head, "It's too far, it's too inconvenient to go to class." It's a 40-minute drive to school, and she doesn't feel the need to waste her time on the road.

Besides, she is always busy until late, and it is not good to trouble the driver to pick it up.

Xu Yichen nodded undeniably, let's rely on her for the time being.

A figure walked from the side courtyard and saw Gu Yanran and Xu Yichen, "Miss Gu, Mr. Xu." ”

It is a maid who cleans the yard of the old house.

The two nodded, and Gu Yanran asked, "What about grandpa?"

"Mr. Xu is in the study. ”

"Okay, then you're busy. When Gu Yanran heard her say this, she turned around and walked towards the study.

The door of the study was not closed, and Gu Yanran walked in quickly.

Gu Yanran walked in quietly, Old Man Xu was writing, this could be regarded as his daily homework.

Before he took two steps, Old Man Xu raised his head, and when he saw that it was Gu Yanran, he was a little stunned, "Hmph, I still know that I will come back." ”

Although there was reproach in the tone, it was full of joy.

"Grandpa, you still can't be distracted when you write, I walk so lightly, you still found out, it seems that you don't pay attention when writing. She found out that she was a little dissatisfied with Old Man Xu so quickly, so she couldn't help but make fun of him.

"You're amazing, and you'll teach me a lesson as soon as you come. Old Man Xu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, he just subconsciously raised his head, where did he know that this granddaughter happened to come.

There are a few gray hairs in his hair, and his eyebrows and eyes are also full of wrinkles, but those eyes are bright, adding a bit of solemnity, and he pays great attention to self-cultivation on weekdays, and the whole person's demeanor and temperament are incomparable to ordinary people.

Gu Yanran's eyes were very similar to his, and she knew that she was following her mother.

Mr. Xu has two sons and a daughter, he loves the youngest daughter the most, loves the house and Wu, and loves this granddaughter the most, and Gu Yanran looks very similar to her mother, after her mother died, Mr. Xu has aged a lot, and he can only love this granddaughter more to comfort his thoughts.

Gu Yanran smiled lightly, "How dare I discipline you, you won't leave me to eat when the time comes." ”

Xu Yichen walked into the study, he had already heard the conversation between the old and the young, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"Grandpa. Xu Yichen walked over.

"What are you doing here, it's too much of an eyesore, you're busy with your going. When Old Man Xu saw Xu Yichen coming in, he frowned, pretending to be displeased and drove him away.

Gu Yanran knew that he really disliked Xu Yichen, this was just a way for him to express his love for juniors, his temper was the same as that of Old Man Fu, and Fu Yu had been disliked by Old Man Fu for many years, thinking of Fu Shu, she really sympathized with him.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving. Xu Yichen was not angry, turned around and walked to the door, "I'll arrange for someone to add some more dishes." ”

Old Man Xu waved his hand and motioned for him to hurry up.

Gu Yanran laughed secretly in her heart, Xu Yichen always murdered her, here with Old Man Xu, but she couldn't please a little good, and she didn't dare to have a temper at all.

Gu Yanran walked to the table and looked at the words on the table carefully, Old Man Xu saw that she was looking carefully, and did not make a sound to disturb.

What's going on with my grandfather writing Jin Wen? What's going on lately, everyone is so interested in Jin Wen?

"It's still well written. Gu Yanran This is a sincere admiration, although his grandfather didn't write gold texts before, but he can practice calligraphy on weekdays, and after decades of precipitation, he can write easily.

Old man Xu grinned like a baby, his granddaughter is usually very high-minded, and it is not easy for her to praise her, and he is recognized by the juniors, and his heart is full of satisfaction.

"Still. Gu Yanran glanced up at him and pointed to one of the words, "The word 'dance' is written incorrectly, the right side is different from the left, and there is no pen in the end." ”

Old Man Xu seemed to be a little unconvinced, took a closer look, looked carefully, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he looked quite right.

He has written this article several times, and now he can memorize it silently, so he should not make such a big mistake.

"No way, no way, you must be misremembering. He refused to admit that he was wrong, like a child, in fact, he was a little weak-hearted, but he was very hard-mouthed, if he was really wrong, wouldn't he lose face in front of his granddaughter, where did he put his old face.

He had only recently started to study Jin Wenlai, but he felt that Gu Yanran was naturally inferior to him, so she pointed at it casually and pointed out his mistake, which should be just a coincidence.

Gu Yanran had an incomprehensible stubbornness in this regard, she lifted the rice paper in front of her, spread another one, and put down the word "dance" with her pen.

I have to say that she writes smoothly, not like she is writing for the first time.

Old Man Xu looked at what she had written, and then at what he had written.

It seems that she really understands.

"When did you learn it?" Old Man Xu really couldn't hold his face at this time, he had lived so much that he couldn't compare to a child in his early twenties.

"I forgot, I used to figure it out for myself. Gu Yanran put down the pen and took his own one.

Old man Xu is not angry, but full of pride in her, the biggest reason why he likes this child is that her temperament and interests are very similar to his, and the two always write together and drink tea on weekdays.

On the word side, I have to say that Gu Yanran is extremely talented.

When he was a child, he invited a teacher for the two brothers and sisters, Xu Yichen didn't know anything about it, and he was not interested in it, but Gu Yanran was the opposite, she could write a very beautiful word as soon as she came up, not like the first time she wrote it, he started writing when he heard that she was in the Gu family, and he didn't care about it at the time.

And then he found out that this granddaughter is really hidden, whether it is regular script, line script, cursive, the writing is excellent, although in his opinion, the technique is still a little immature, but she is only ten years old, which is already unusual among her peers, he can't be too strict with her as a child.

He is also strange sometimes, and he doesn't see her often staying in the study to practice calligraphy on weekdays, but he is fixed to take half a day every two days to write two pairs of words.

The best thing she wrote is the seal book, she is very proficient in the big and small seals, and the teacher invited is afraid that it is also a little inferior, and those who have seen her words say that this is a gifted child.

Seeing that the teacher couldn't teach her anything, Old Man Xu dismissed him and taught her personally.

If he was her age, he dared to say that he was not as good as her.

Unexpectedly, she was also proficient in Jin Wen, he was a little surprised, but as expected, this granddaughter brought her too many surprises.

Since there was a typo, that one was scrapped, Old Man Xu folded the paper and put it aside, he didn't have the mood to write another one now, and walked out with Gu Yanran.

"I stayed here at night, drank tea with my grandfather, and played chess. Gu Yanran hasn't come to accompany him for a long time, and there are not many people who can play chess and talk about tea ceremony with him on weekdays.

"Okay, but I haven't done it for a long time, I'm afraid my hands are a little rusty, and my grandfather doesn't mind. "There is nothing to do in the past two days, and it is also necessary to live here to accompany the elderly.

"Yichen accompanied you to the doctor today?" Old Man Xu paused.

"Well, I've seen it before I came, and the doctor said that the treatment can start at the beginning of the month, but I will have to go abroad in the future. Gu Yanran explained.

"It's okay or good. He glanced at Gu Yanran, "Cure it early, you will soon reach the age of marriage, and it is not a matter if it goes on like this." ”

Suddenly, he thought of something, and the topic changed, "Don't always do research or something, you should relax yourself, make a few more friends, and bring back what you like for grandpa to see." ”

Although Gu Yanran is still in college, he agrees with finding a partner when he is studying, but the children and grandchildren of the Xu family don't know what is wrong, and they don't find a partner when they are old.

They weren't in a hurry, but he was.

Xu Yichen always excused himself by being too busy, but this granddaughter was even more angry, she didn't even make any friends, and she was alone on weekdays.

Gu Yanran pursed her lips helplessly, is she also at the age of being urged to marry?

"I think Fu Shu is a good kid and very clever. Old Man Xu has been searching for a few young people who are about the same age as Gu Yanran in his mind, but after thinking about it, he feels that they are still a little unworthy of Gu Yanran, although there is a preference for elders in this, but Gu Yanran's talent is indeed something he admires.

Thinking about it, it is still Fu Shu's child who has won his heart, and he and Fu Shu's grandfather are old friends, and the Fu family can be regarded as knowing the roots, if the two can come together, it is also an excellent marriage.

Gu Yanran sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, if I had an interest in him, I wouldn't be just friends now." ”

She regards Fu Yu as a confidant, and Fu Yu is the same, and the two of them have no intention of being half male or female.
