Gu Zhai-

Old Man Gu paced back and forth in the hall with a sad expression.

He Jiezhen couldn't help laughing at him: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" The moment Nancy came back, I hadn't seen you sit down. 弼"

Old Man Gu paused, and sighed like nothing: "I'll go to the ancestral hall to have a look." Wake up"

"It's windy outside, don't go, Nancy should be back soon, I guess he will go to the ancestral hall to have a look, and it won't be long before he comes back."

"Yes, Dad, you were going to rebuild the ancestral hall two days ago, but before the construction started, Nancy sent someone to stop it, I think the ancestral hall collapsed at that time was also a little suspicious, he wants to check on you, let him check, don't follow that heart." Gu Yuanheng walked in, took off the hat on his head, and put it aside.

Old Man Gu was silent, but asked sideways, "Where did Xiuli go?" ”

Gu Yuanheng frowned: "You don't want him to find a suitable job in the government office here in G City?" I see that he has been in the city for the past two days, and he has a good relationship with the leaders of many agencies, and he has a lot of dinners and drinks, so he didn't come back with me this time, he should be drunk at this time, and I don't know which hotel he is sleeping in. ”

Old Man Gu nodded, turned his head to look out the window, thought about it, and asked Gu Yuanheng to go to the study with him.

On the other side, the ancestral hall of the Gu family.

Because the old man was going to send workers to rebuild the ancestral hall two days ago, although he was stopped in time, some of the broken stones in the original location have been removed, and the ground near it has been cleaned very clean.

Gu Nancy leaned down, picked up a small piece of gravel on the ground, and flipped it in his hand.

Behind him were several temporary workers of the Gu family and Uncle Zhang, who was the same age as Wang's mother, seeing Gu Nancy observing the remaining stones, but not speaking, Uncle Zhang hesitated and stepped forward, and whispered: "The wind that night was very weird, it was dark very early, and it was thundering and lightning all the time, but it didn't rain that night, I heard Wang Ma say that she had read the weather forecast, and the forecast said that the wind would be very strong at night in those days, so everyone didn't take it seriously, but that night, this ancestral hall suddenly collapsed inexplicably......"

Uncle Zhang's respectful expression was smiling, knowing that Gu Nancy was finally going to find out, in the past few days, Old Man Gu has behaved strangely, not letting the big guys get close to here, only calling those workers who came from outside to clean up, and now, the truth can finally be revealed soon, otherwise they are still scared while working in this Gu family, afraid that it will be as weird as Ah Ju said.

Uncle Zhang turned around and wanted to ask someone to carry a larger broken stone pillar over there, so he waved his hand over there, and then turned around and said, "This is the stone pillar that those workers haven't had time to remove at that time." ”

Gu Nancy was observing the relatively flat stone in his hand, and when he heard Uncle Zhang's words, his hand stopped, and his face hidden in the sunset after the fine light and shadow did not fluctuate, only his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he said lightly for a while: "Only these?" ”

"There's still there, but they're all stacked on top of each other, behind the tall cement sacks over there." Uncle Zhang pointed to the tall cement sack over there: "There are still some larger gravel there." ”

"Hmm." Gu Nancy casually picked up a smaller piece of gravel next to him, glanced in the direction of the cement bag over there, and said, "Only Xin Yao and Grandpa were present when the accident happened?" ”

Obviously, he knew that there was a third person present at the time, and he also knew who the third person was, but he asked Uncle Zhang in turn.

Uncle Zhang nodded: "Yes, only the young lady and the old general are here, but Wang Ma said at the time that when they rushed over, Young Master Xiuli had just rescued the young lady, and later rescued the old man, it should have been Young Master Xiuli who rushed over first, if he hadn't rescued him in time, I'm afraid the consequences would have been unimaginable!" ”

After Uncle Zhang went to the other side, Gu Nancy suddenly lost the interest in observing these gravel stones, he got up, walked to the door of the half-collapsed ancestral hall, looked at the remnants under his feet, and suddenly glanced at the two flat stones piled up at the base of the wall, walked over, and with a slight effort, moved the two stones away, and the steel bars that were previously covered by the stones were exposed.

Although the ancestral hall has been built for many years, under a maintenance five years ago, the wall in front of the door was made of cement and steel bars, and even if a crack was made, it was not enough to collapse so quickly......

Gu Nancy stood in the wind, looked away, and looked at the unique waterfall of Gu Mansion in the distance, the spring was getting warmer, and the water of the waterfall splashed on the mossy cobblestone and scattered in all directions.

He didn't move, and before Uncle Zhang walked over, he casually put the two stones back in place.

"How's it going? Do you see the reason? Uncle Zhang asked.

Gu Nancy patted the dust on her hands, but did not turn back, glanced at the cement bag over there, and did not intend to see more evidence that was about to be destroyed.

Until Gu Nancy left the ancestral hall and returned to Gu's house.

The old man Gu, who had just come out of the study and went downstairs, saw him enter the door, so he walked directly towards him and asked with a smile: "Nancy, how is it?" ”

Gu Nancy didn't seem to hear the old man's words, she just hooked her lips, and when she saw Gu Yuanheng who came down with her, she said lightly: "Dad's trouble in the military region recently seems to be not small. ”

Gu Yuanheng's face stiffened, and then he sighed heavily: "Recently, it seems like I have fallen into an evil spirit, and everything is not going well!" Some of the things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains have been turned over, because there are a group of new recruits under him, and they are not very sensible, and the matter spreads too fast and is difficult to suppress. ”

Gu Nanxi stood silently and said for a while: "Maybe it's really evil." As he spoke, he glanced at the thoughtful old man: "Several recent things are indeed very evil, do you say, grandpa?" ”

The old man smiled, the hand holding the cane tightened slightly, and said: "Nancy, don't check this matter, anyway, grandpa didn't suffer any injuries, Xin Yao is no big deal, the ancestral hall is where I often go, I know that the stone pillar in front of the wall is in disrepair, even if it collapses, it will be a matter of time, blame grandpa for not paying attention to these a few years ago, so Xin Yao almost had an accident for me to save me." ”

Gu Nancy smiled lightly, and said casually: "Grandpa, some things are like this cracked wall, and you can't condone it, otherwise I'm afraid that there will only be a bigger disaster." ”

The old man didn't say anything anymore, but was silent for a while before looking at him and sighing: "Of course I know." ”

At this time, the old man Gu suddenly turned around and asked He Jiezhen to go upstairs to help get some things in his study, He Jiezhen could hear that the old man wanted to support himself, but after a pause, he turned around and went upstairs quietly.

It wasn't until He Jiezhen's figure disappeared at the staircase that Old Man Gu looked back at Gu Yuanheng: "Yuanheng, since there have been a lot of things in the military region recently, you should avoid it for the time being, it's nothing more than some turmoil, and there won't be any big storms, and it will stop in a few days, you have recently found time to go to the United States."

Gu Nancy seemed to have expected the old man to make this decision, and her face was still unshocked.

However, Gu Yuanheng's expression was stunned, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes: "The United States? Dad, you ......"

It goes without saying that Gu Yuanheng is not like Yufei and Gu Nancy, they have the Gu family in the United States, and Gu Yuanheng has not been to the United States for more than 20 years, and suddenly the old man asked him to pass, then there is only one possibility.

Old Man Gu said lightly: "The reason why I asked Xiao Zhen to avoid this matter is because I don't want her to be sad." Xiu Li returned to the Gu family, Xiao Zhen did not say a word of objection, I don't want my daughter-in-law to be hurt by you again and again because of the mistakes you made back then, but Xiu Li's mother was sent to the United States for more than 20 years, and you have never been there, I used to disagree with you to go to see her, but now, you should indeed go to see her. ”

Seeing that Gu Yuanheng had a rare trace of emotion in his eyes, Old Man Gu said coldly: "It was indeed me who sent her to the United States back then, so that you would never see her again, but I was also for your good, for the good of the Gu family, once that woman's identity was discovered by someone with a heart, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Being counted out by the old man like this in front of his son, Gu Yuanheng's face was a little unbearable, and he glanced at Gu Nancy with his sideways eyes, asking him to avoid it first.

Gu Nancy didn't have any expression, turned around and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking up at the moonlight outside the window.

"Dad, everything back then is in the past."

Gu Yuanheng raised his eyebrows, and then lowered his voice and said: "The evidence that should have been destroyed has already been destroyed, if it wasn't for the fact that I was distracted and provoked Xiuli's mother at that time, I'm afraid these things would have been sealed in the dust more than 20 years ago, I haven't mentioned this matter myself for more than 20 years, why do you suddenly mention this?" ”

"I brought it up?" Old Man Gu turned his head with a displeased face: "Hmph! Old man, I've been wiping your ass for so many years! In the end, I have to continue to worry about you, and in turn, you question me? Let you go and go, even if after twenty years, your feelings for that woman have faded, but this time you must go and see how she is doing, be there with her for a while, carefully observe the people around her, see if there are any suspicious strangers approaching her, and ......"

The old man paused, and then whispered, "Don't let Xiuli know." ”

Gu Yuanheng was silent, and said in a moment: "I suddenly went abroad alone, Xiao Zhen must know who I am going to see, she knows about the recent affairs of the military region, and I deduce that I am going to the United States to work for the office, I am afraid that it will make her suspicious." ”

The old man also pondered for a moment: "She will think of it no matter what, but it is better to find some appropriate reasons than to be blatant, after all, old man, I don't want this family to make any trouble because of those bad things in your past!" This old and young must not tear their faces! ”

Gu Yuanheng sighed, and suddenly turned his eyes: "Nancy, how is Xin Yao's injury?" You two haven't been abroad together since you got married, have you? It just so happens that Gu's is your company in the United States, and you haven't been back for several years, so you will accompany me to the United States? In this way, on the grounds of visiting Gu's recent performance in the United States, Gu Yuanheng took the opportunity to go to the United States to see Gu's scale, which is also a good reason.

Gu Nancy raised her eyes and turned her eyes to look at Gu Yuanheng lightly: "Recently, the government has several key projects, I will only be free next week, although Xin Yao's injury has been removed, but she is still in the hospital for recuperation and observation, it will take almost a week, if Dad can wait, don't wait for a while." ”

Gu Yuanheng nodded: "A week, yes, it just so happens that there are still some things to explain over there in our military region, and this time is very good." ”

Old Man Gu looked at Gu Nancy's unhappy expression, and was stunned for a moment, as if he found that his grandson had unknowingly known what they had hidden from them for many years, but he had remained silent for so long.

"Nancy, Xin Yao is pregnant, although it takes too long to take a plane to the United States, but her physical condition is not bad, take a walk in a different environment, and take a walk in the United States, it should be good for both body and mind." Old Man Gu said.

Gu Nancy smiled, her eyes turned between the old man and Gu Yuanheng, and then smiled: "Okay." ”

*

Xin Yao was hanging an anti-inflammatory drip while leaning on the head of the bed and looking at the magazine in her hand, when suddenly a small figure walked over next to her.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Yu holding a bag of jelly in her hand, looking at herself with wide eyes, walking to her bedside, raising her cerebellum and looking at her for a long time.

The corners of Ji Xinyao's mouth twitched, and she glared at her with a bad aunt-like expression: "Little girl, what are you doing?" ”

As a result, Xiaoyu actually stood on tiptoe, raised the jelly in her hand, put the jelly on her bed, and said in a crunchy voice, "For you to eat." ”

The corners of Ji Xinyao's mouth twitched fiercely again, this girl's attitude towards herself is too ninety-turn and eighteen-turned!

She couldn't help but put down the magazine in her hand, and she didn't think she was a bad aunt, she just looked at her with a strange face, stretched out her hand without an injection and touched her little face: "Little girl, do you want to reconcile with your aunt?" ”

As a result, Xiao Yu just pouted, turned his head and walked away reluctantly, and before returning to his hospital bed, he turned his head twice to look at the jelly on Ji Xinyao's bed, as if he was very reluctant, and finally bit his finger, climbed back into the bed and got into the bed.

Oh, this little girl!

Now Ji Xinyao is even more strange, what did Gu Nancy say to this girl that day?

"Little fish, what did grandpa bring you?"

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Shan Lao walked in with a few model dolls that children like at the moment, and walked to the bed with a smile to tease his great-granddaughter.

Xiaoyu got out of the quilt, happily went to take the doll that the old man gave her, and said sweetly: "Thank you, grandpa!" ”

Shan Lao smiled, reached out and touched her head, until Xiao Yu sat there by himself, fiddling with the two dolls over and over, and couldn't distinguish any other thoughts to chat with his grandfather, Shan Lao smiled at her again, and then turned around and looked at Ji Xinyao.

Ji Xinyao smiled politely at Shan Lao, nodded again, and then wanted to pick up the magazine and continue to read it, but she didn't expect Shan Lao to suddenly get up and walk over to her.

"Miss Ji's injuries are not healed yet?" He asked with an official look of politeness.

Xin Yao smiled: "It's okay, I just removed the stitches yesterday, in fact, I can be discharged from the hospital a long time ago, but the family is not at ease, I am afraid that the injury on my head will leave any sequelae in the future, and I will often have a headache or something, so I will listen to the doctor's advice, let me stay in the hospital for a few more days to observe, but I can be discharged in a few days, thank you Shan Lao for your concern." ”

Shan Lao looked at her face thoughtfully, as if he still had some doubts about her background.

Of course, Ji Xinyao knew what he was thinking, and he did have a lot of similarities with his mother.

That time Shan Lao met with him alone, and she didn't confirm the photo he took out, I'm afraid he has been hesitant.

"Miss Ji is really like a person." Shan Lao narrowed his eyes and said lightly, not in a questioning tone, but in a tone that seemed to be certain: "Even the personality has many similarities." ”

Have it? Shan Xiaoou is so cowardly that she commits suicide for love, even if she is stubborn and persistent and very tenacious in some aspects, I am afraid that the gap between her Ji Xinyao and her mother's character is still very big.

Of course, her impression of her mother is only four years old, and she has just remembered it, so she doesn't know much.

She didn't deny it, she didn't say anything, she just smiled sloppily: "I know that Shan Lao, you are saying that I am very similar to the person in the photo you took out last time, forgive me for taking the liberty, I am curious, what kind of relationship does she have with Shan Lao?" Why do you feel more or less emotion every time you see me? Is she important to you? ”
