Chapter 101: Turning around and glancing at a thousand years
Before dawn that day, a steady drizzle fell in Zhengzhou, and after the morning rose, the rain stopped. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Xu Dong's carriage arrived in Lizhou, the ground was damp, but the air was filled with a warm and humid and comfortable atmosphere.
Gu Lao has been in Yunji Hall for so long, and his body has been half better, although the old man does not seem to be as energetic as before his illness, he is no longer sick.
This trip to Zhengzhou, Xu Dong didn't bring too many people, and only followed Bingfeng beside him.
There were two carriages in total, Xu Dong and Bingfeng sat on one, and Gu Lao, the second wife of the Gu family and the youngest son Gu Jun sat on one.
Since Bingfeng had already been to Lanzhou before, and he also knew where the Gu family's mansion in Lanzhou was, they came to this new Gu Mansion not long after entering the city.
After the carriage stopped in front of Gu's mansion, Xu Dong got out of the car first, and then went to greet Gu Lao.
Maybe it was too bumpy along the way, or maybe it was the changes of the Gu family that made Gu Lao sigh, and the moment he poked his head out and saw the new and unfamiliar Gu Mansion plaque, his face seemed to suddenly become haggard and tired.
During his recuperation, the Gu family, including Xu Dong, didn't want him to know too many things, so as not to affect his recovery. Therefore, Gu Lao now doesn't know why the store in Dongcheng is gone, why the entire Gu family has moved to another city, and he doesn't know that Gu Wanyan has long had no relationship with the Gu family.
Xu Dong felt the momentary stagnation of Gu Lao's body, so he smiled gently and said, "Gu Lao, be careful of your step." ”
Gu Lao shook his head and carefully got out of the carriage with Xu Dong's support.
Then the second lady led Gu Jun to get out of the carriage, and she said to Xu Dong gratefully: "It's really too troublesome for Hall Master Xu Dong, so far away and let you personally send us here." ”
Xu Dong smiled modestly: "Where is this, Gu Lao is the most respected elder under him, these are all as they should be." ”
Gu Lao smiled and patted Xu Dong's shoulder, but he didn't speak, but everything was silent.
At this time, the gate of Gu's mansion opened, and a person walked out of it, it was Gu Yan.
He was completely stunned the moment he saw Gu Lao, and he choked up for a long time before he shouted that word.
"Daddy!"
Gu Yan seemed very excited after not seeing his father for too long, he walked to Gu Lao's side in three steps and two steps to hold his hand, and looked up and down with concern: "Dad! Are you okay? We are not filial, we haven't gone back to see you since we came to Lizhou! We were still discussing when to pick you up yesterday!"
Gu Lao saw his son, his eyes were slightly red, he pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, his voice was low and vicissitudes: "It's all right." Xu Dong sent us here today. ”
Gu Yan listened, and hurriedly thanked Xu Dongzuo: "My father was taken care of by Xu Dong Hall Master during his illness, and we are really ashamed to be children, thank you Xu Dong Hall Master!"
Xu Dong helped Gu Yan up and signaled that he didn't have to be polite: "It's all my own family, what's polite." ”
After that, Xu Dong changed his words and deliberately asked, "What about the others?"
Hearing this, Gu Yan's face gradually turned blue, his eyes dodged Xu Dong, and after a long time, he said, "Let's go in first! Go in and talk, they are all there." ”
Xu Dong and his entourage entered the main hall, and Gu Mo, Gu Zhang, Gu Ran, and Yang Chuhe had just hurried over.
Gu Lao shook his head the moment he saw his sons, and then a heartfelt smile appeared on his face. After going through so much, Gu Lao felt that nothing was more important than the joy and peace of his family.
"Daddy!"
"Dad!
Gu Ran's voice trembled a little, Gu Xian was very excited, Gu Mo was faint on his face, but there seemed to be a lot of emotions hidden in his expression.
Yang Chuhe took two steps forward to support Gu Lao, his eyes were moist: "Master, you are finally well, we look forward to it day and night, and we hope that your body will get better soon!"
The second lady turned her head sideways, quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hugged her well-behaved and silent son beside her.
Gu Lao nodded, as if he had crossed a long time, and this family was able to reunite again.
He looked around, Steward Fang and Aunt Xue were still there, and most of the servants in the house were raw.
"What about Wanyan, why aren't Wanyan people here, and they went to the store?" asked Gu Lao in a hoarse voice.
As soon as these words came out, everyone seemed to fall into a very deliberate silence.
Xu Dong had been observing from the sidelines, and at this time, he was even more gloomy, staring at Gu Mo.
At this moment, a woman came out of it. The woman was small and thin, with a narrow goose egg face with a pair of playful peach blossom eyes and good-looking flat eyebrows.
As soon as she came out, everyone looked at her, the woman smiled and nodded to everyone one by one, and then walked straight to Gu Mo's side, and asked in a low voice, "Xianggong, what's wrong?"
Xu Dong couldn't help but squint his eyes, and the despair on Gu Mo's face was fully visible to him.
Gu Lao's face gradually became not very good-looking.
The crowd held their breath.
Gu Mo forced a smile, took the woman's hand, and walked up to Gu Lao: "Mingrou, this is Dad, hurry up and say hello to Dad." ”
Then Gu Mo turned his head to Gu Lao and said, "Dad, this is Mingrou, the eldest lady of the Fufu family in Luzhou, and now she is the son's wife." ”
Fu Mingrou smiled sweetly, bowed respectfully, and said, "Seeing my father for the first time today, Mingrou said hello to my father." ”
The voice and the smile are something that no one can hate.
Gu Lao was stunned, but for a moment, a trace of helplessness seemed to gradually flash on his face, and then, he smiled, nodded, and said hello in his mouth.
Seeing that she seemed to be accepted, Fu Mingrou looked up at Gu Mo and smiled happily.
No one knows what kind of pain this old man has in his heart at this moment, and how he tries to tolerate everything that is inexplicable to him.
Just for one word, and.
Although he didn't know exactly what happened in his absence, what he could see right now was that the Gu family's jewelry was still flourishing, and the Gu Mansion was still harmonious.
After this short greeting, the Gu family began to thank Xu Dong and instructed Xu Dong to stay in Lanzhou for two more days and be ready to entertain him.
Of course, Xu Dong smiled and said kind words, and when the politeness was over, Yang Chuhe took the old man and the second lady to settle down, and everyone was ready to go their own way, Xu Dong asked Gu Mo to stay alone and talk.
After the people dispersed, Bingfeng had already gone to wait outside the door, leaving only Xu Dong and Gu Mo in the hall.
Gu Mo continued to pretend that he didn't know anything, deliberately creating a certain sense of distance in his voice, and asked, "I don't know what the hall master Xu Dong wants to ask?"
Xu Dong sneered: "What do I want to ask, don't you know yet." ”
Gu Mo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm stupid, but I don't know." ”
Xu Dong simply got straight and asked: "I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want to ask about your housework, I just ask you, where is she?"
Gu Mo still kept a blank expression: "Who?"
Xu Dong was a little angry: "In vain, she poured all her heart into you, Gu Mo, what is your heart made of?!"
Gu Mo lowered his head: "We haven't heard from her for a long time, and besides, she is no longer the Gu family, and we don't know where she went." ”
Xu Dong grabbed Gu Mo's collar and gritted his teeth a little: "You tell me again." ”
Gu Mo's face did not change, but he was not to be outdone, he pushed Xu Dong away, and indifferently took care of his collar: "What I said is the truth, what the hall master Xu Dong wants to know, I'm afraid I can't get it from me." ”
Xu Dong had fire in his eyes and stared straight at Gu Mo.
Gu Mo's eyes were like ice, responding to his gaze.
After a while, Xu Dong didn't say a word, and turned around and left after snorting.
Gu Mo sat alone in the hall for a long time, silently, quietly.
Then, Gu Yan walked out, he looked around and asked, "What about the hall master Xu Dong?" didn't you say that it was better to stay for dinner?"
Gu Mo seemed to be very tired, he just shook his head slightly, then closed his eyes and slowly leaned back in the chair.
