After breakfast, Gu Shuo proposed to go to the Gu family's house together.

A week ago, they were preparing for the New Year, and there were many families who greeted each other, but the closer to Chinese New Year's Eve, the fewer guests there were, and they were busy returning to their homes to prepare New Year's goods, prepare gifts, buy new clothes, and give gifts to the world.

This kind of courtyard is always very busy during the New Year, and there are always a lot of things to worry about.

Chu Han made a call to Qiu Lily, asked Xiao Yuan to pick up the New Year's goods, and asked Xiao Liu and Lu Ming to pick up a gift, and then returned to the house with a large bag and a small bag.

The day before, the Gu family knew that they had returned to the imperial capital, but they were worried about Chu Han's health and afraid that they would not rest well, so they didn't even dare to make a phone call.

Early in the morning, Mu Huilan looked outside while choosing vegetables, and saw two brother versions of Maybach coming, and immediately wiped her hands to greet them.

"Mom, it's so cold, you go into the house!" Gu Shuo said to his mother when he opened the car window. The roadway of the Gu house is separated from the sidewalk, and the car has to go around to the main entrance, but the sidewalk can go directly through the flower room into the kitchen.

"Neither lukewarm. Mu Huilan glanced at her intact son, and her eyes fell on Chu Han. The child was cleared, she didn't dare to say anything in her mouth, but she was very distressed in her heart.

"I'll come down and walk with you. Chu Han is not a fool, knowing that Mu Huilan misses her son, she is also worried about her, and she can't even sit still in the house for a while.

Seeing that Chu Han was about to get out of the car, Mu Huilan hurriedly walked back, "You haven't recovered from your cold, don't move, I'll go back to the house." Turning her head, Mu Huilan asked the people in the car behind her again, "Mingxuan, Chenchen, what do you want to eat, just tell your aunt ......"

When the title of Chen Chen came over, Xie Chen was stunned for a moment.

This is what only her mother has ever called her, not even her grandfather.

The old man of the Xie family is a bit patriarchal, so no matter how capable the daughter of the Xie family is, he doesn't take it very seriously.

And Xie Chen, as the eldest sister, has a different status from birth, and the people in other rooms are more polite and respectful to her, only Xie Qiao's family is still a little intimate, but there is no one who can be intimate like a family.

Xie Chen has always felt that she is incompatible with the Xie family, and it doesn't look like her home.

The title of Mu Huilan made Xie Chen shake for a long time.

"We can just eat it. Zhao Mingxuan answered in her place.

Mu Huilan looked happy, but she didn't expect that Zhao Mingxuan, who they were most worried about, would bring the eldest girl of the Xie family back for the New Year, this must be celebrated.

Seeing the comforting and kind smile on Mu Huilan's face when she left, Xie Chen was blocked again, and then she realized that she had followed them to celebrate the New Year.

There were a lot of people from the Gu family today, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw all kinds of enthusiastic faces.

But no one specifically mentioned why Xie Chen came over with Zhao Mingxuan in a car, at most he just glanced at it more, and then directly greeted him as his own family.

The Gu family doesn't talk about those false etiquette when doing things, everyone gets together and does their best.

The women cleaned up the house and prepared meals, the men took tools to repair the old house and renovate the courtyard to make the old house a little New Year's atmosphere, and the children did not play with themselves like other families, but followed the adults to help.

In such an atmosphere, basically no one has the leisure to talk about it.

For the first time, Xie Chen felt that she was not outside the family, and even she, a hands-on waste with only mental power and no physical strength, could exert her own strength.

"Uh, is it appropriate for you to make dumplings with a handful of snot and tears?" Xie Chen saw that Chu Han was about to go to the dumpling stall, and quickly said with disdain.

Chu Han looked at her innocently, just as Old Man Gu came over with tea, and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, the eldest girl of the Xie family bullied me!"

Xie Chen: ......

What a shameless thing is it, how old is she, and she still asks adults for help? Even if she fights in kindergarten at the age of three or four, she has never found a parent to back her up!

The old man smiled and said, "Go upstairs, don't mix up here." He turned around and said, "Chenchen, you go to rest when you're tired, there is delicious food in the living room upstairs, and your Aunt Mu didn't sleep last night, so she made all of this." ”

Chu Han was a little distressed when she heard this, Mu Huilan didn't dare to make a phone call to disturb them, but she silently prepared a bunch of things for them.

Chu Han pulled Xie Chen and walked upstairs.

Xie Chen opened her hand: "Don't infect me anymore!"

Chu Han didn't care, and just introduced: "Aunt Mu's craftsmanship is very good, you can remember it for the rest of your life!" She likes to eat Mu Huilan's pastries the most.

Xie Chenhu looked at her suspiciously, "I heard Zhao Mingxuan say that you and Gu Jue have already received the certificate, why do you still call your aunt and aunt?"

Chu Han was a little embarrassed, "This was not a secret before, but now it's a little embarrassing to change your words." Shuo said, on the day of the wedding, it will be justified to change the tea. ”

Xie Chen found that Chu Han obviously had a different identity background, but she was very harmonious with the Gu family's aura, as if she was born with the Gu family.

Maybe Gu Shuo's vision is so vicious, he can see who is suitable to be his wife at a glance.

When I came to the upstairs living room, there were a lot of food prepared here, all of which were pastries made by Mu Huilan herself.

One aunt said that it was specially reserved for them, and the others could not move.

Chu Han blew his nose, he was so moved.

Xie Chen picked a food he liked, leaned against the window, and downstairs, it was the men who were decorating the garden. The red lantern was hung high, and Zhao Mingxuan and Gu Shuo were holding the gardener's big scissors together and preparing to create a unique flower garden.

The two* were talking seriously but not without lack of comfort in the sun, pointing to the flower bed from time to time, as if to express how it should be pruned more appropriately.

"I never knew they had such a side. ”

Xie Chen suddenly said faintly.

In the past ten years, she has been accustomed to treating these two people as rivals, studying their business layout, studying their strategic choices, and discovering how they have launched various new things and how to occupy the market, but she has never paid attention to what their daily life will be like.

Chu Han heard her speak, came over to take a look, suddenly opened a window, and shouted: "Shuo, I want a heart!

The two men who had originally discussed seriously glanced at each other, Gu Shuo made an OK gesture at her, and Zhao Mingxuan had to laugh helplessly.

Xie Chen's eyes widened, "Do you still want to be shameless?"

Aren't you ashamed in front of so many elders? It doesn't matter how you show your affection in your own garden, how do you show off in the Gu family's main house?

Chu Han rolled her eyes unceremoniously: Unconvinced, you have the ability to let a man do this for you!

Xie Chen really wanted to strangle this little thing.

"I heard that the Zhao family's house was abandoned......"

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Mingxuan moved out of Zhao's house at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and now Zhao Qian and others have been subdued, and there is no one living in it at all. Zhao Mingxuan even refused to take care of the property management regularly.

The current Zhao Mansion is a panic house, and when I just came over, I could see through the gap in the gate that the flowers and trees in the garden were decaying in the cold wind.

The imperial capital Zhao clan used to be so beautiful, but now it has been defeated by Zhao Qian like this. Friends and relatives are abandoned, and the business is in decline. If it weren't for Zhao's capital injection by Mingyu, I am afraid that it would have become someone else's plate by now, and it would have been carved up.

Everyone in the Zhao family regarded Zhao Mingxuan as the head of the Zhao family, hoping that he could revive the Zhao family, but Zhao Mingxuan did not have much enthusiasm for the Zhao family.

Mother's death, father's ruthlessness, even if he doesn't care on the surface, I'm afraid this hurdle is not so easy to get by.

"I've been thinking about what gift to give him for the New Year, what do you think, Chenchen?"

Chenchen?

Who is it called?

Xie Chen didn't have the strength to complain about Chu Han now.

"You want to help him take care of Zhao's house?"

Chu Han blinked, "Do you have any good opinions?"

Xie Chen very much disagreed with her thoughts: "This thing, it's better not to move it easily." If you don't do it, it will reveal his scars. ”

"But the more you leave a scar unchecked, the more it can grow into a tumor. I think it's time for him to come out. ”

Zhao Qian and Xu Mo have both surrendered to the law, and everything should be over.

Isn't the reason why Zhao Mingxuan is emotionally weak precisely because of the influence his family has had on him since he was a child?

"Chenchen, I want to try. ”

Xie Chen sighed. This bastard can lock them up and roll the sheets, and there's nothing else he can't do.

"If you really want to do it, then you have a ......"

Chu Han was waiting for this sentence, looking at her with reverent eyes.

Xie Chen raised his forehead, "Okay, I can help you with your reference, but if Zhao Mingxuan blames him, I won't admit that I have my own share!"

Chu Han nodded hurriedly.

When they went home that day, Chu Han and Xie Chen both stayed in Gu's house, and only Gu Shuo accompanied Zhao Mingxuan back.

When he went out, Zhao Mingxuan said: "You haven't come back for so long, you should stay at home." I'll just go back alone. ”

He didn't need Gu Shuo to sacrifice a good life with his family for him.

He didn't want to be the burden that worries them about not being weaned.

"Don't talk nonsense. I also have to deal with the Emperor's business. You can't work if you stay here. ”

Knowing that this was just an excuse, Zhao Mingxuan didn't want to refuse again.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, every family has to worship their ancestors, and the Zhao family is no exception.

However, Zhao Mingxuan didn't want to open the cold door.

There is nothing in the house, maybe the furniture is dusty.

Before Zhao Qian's three people were arrested, they smashed it at home, and even the antiques that Zhao Qian had always treasured were smashed to pieces, and they said that they would not leave him a single grass or tree when they died. even lit a fire at the end, wanting to burn down Zhao's house, if it wasn't for the security guards to find out in time, I'm afraid that this place would already be in ruins.

Zhao Mingxuan was not uncommon with anything left by Zhao Qian, if it weren't for the place where his mother once lived, perhaps, he would have sold it a long time ago.

"What are you in a daze?" Gu Shuo gently pushed him on the back, "Go in, no matter how you say it, you were born here." This is your home after all. ”

The garden gate opened, and the weedy patch, which was supposed to be bleak, was trimmed as neatly as it had never been, and it was clear that the flowers were withering in winter, but he saw the purple and red, and smelled the fragrance.

Looking at all the arrangements in the garden, it is exactly what my mother looked like when she was there.

Zhao Mingxuan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he rushed into the garden, he thought he had forgotten, but he remembered everything.

All traces that had been erased by Xu Mo had returned.

Zhao Mingxuan couldn't wait to push open the door, only to see two beautiful women in maid costumes bowing slightly to him: "Young Master Mingxuan, are you back......?"

Zhao Mingxuan was so excited that he couldn't speak, and the furnishings in this house had changed. The furniture that had been thrown into the warehouse by Xu Mo reappeared in the afterglow of time.

Everything seems to have returned to his happiest years.

"I don't remember everything, I can only recover so far, if you remember anything, we can change it now. "Xie Chen has renovated many mansions, but this time is the simplest, but it is also the most attentive.

Zhao Mingxuan looked at her and solemnly said thank you.

Chu Han smiled and rubbed in front of Gu Shuo to ask for a touch. Gu Shuo stroked her little derpy hair and said, "Good job." ”

Chu Han happily accepted it, "Fortunately, Chen Chen has been to the Zhao family before, and she still remembers that these decorations and decorations are all her credit!"

"There are also things for ancestor worship that Chen Chen bought, and they are all ready. I didn't expect that in addition to her can't cook, other places are still very useful. ”

Zhao Mingxuan rushed upstairs and looked down from upstairs. He remembers that when he was a child, he liked to sit here with a pole to fish, and his mother would make pastries in the kitchen downstairs, and when they were ready, he would call him down to eat.

And now, as far as the eye can see, there is no more mother, but there is his most beloved person.

Gu Shuo hugged Chu Han and looked up at him, the smiles on their faces were like a ray of sunshine on a winter day, penetrating people's hearts and overflowing with warmth.

"Mingxuan, Chenchen baked cookies for the first time, do you want to come down and taste them?" Chu Han asked.

Zhao Mingxuan smiled knowingly, his life could finally start again.
