Jiangnan Gu family, the first imperial merchant of Xia Huaguo, can be called a rich country. However, to Lin Mengyao's surprise, this ancestral house did not have the slightest magnificence, but more tenderness and elegance unique to Jiangnan Water Town.

The ancestral house of the Gu family is surrounded by water, and a river flows directly in front of the mansion, and the boat comes down, and the nine steps are the gate of the Gu mansion. As for the back of the Gu Mansion, there is a small hill, although it is a small mountain, but it is the Jiangnan Plain area, and the hill that looks like a mound in the north also has a more majestic atmosphere.

In front of the mansion, there was already a group of people waiting, and when they saw Lin Mengyao and their boat, they immediately rushed to the shore.

"Master, I've finally brought you back!" An old man over sixty years old had tears in his eyes, and he was so excited that he wiped the corners of his eyes.

If Lin Mengyao knew the reason, she might not be surprised by this old man's gaffe. The old man in front of him who was over sixty years old was the housekeeper of the Gu family, surnamed Sun, and Gu Mengde called him Uncle Sun, and he was an elder who watched Gu Mengde grow up. Since Mrs. Gu died inexplicably ten years ago, he has been faithfully guarding the old mansion for the Gu family, waiting for Gu Mengde to come back one day to live in peace, but I don't want Gu Mengde to come back once in the past ten years, even if he goes to the grave for his mother, it is also fake.

Mrs. Gu was very loving during her lifetime, and her mother and son were famous in Yunzhou, but after this person died, it was difficult to even go to the grave in person, and Steward Sun was both sad and sad, and now that Gu Mengde was back, he was in a complicated mood and indescribable.

"Uncle Sun, you've been tired all these years!"

Gu Mengde had great respect for this Steward Sun, no matter what. When the outside world accused him of his unfilial behavior, this housekeeper Sun always stayed with his family and never said that he was not.

Thinking of what happened ten years ago, Gu Mengde was full of remorse, if he hadn't been able to resist the Zhu family, if it wasn't for protecting the Liu family, his old mother would not have been angry to death. But what could he do? Walking on the tip of the knife every day, even if you want to protect the person in your heart with the sharp blade under your feet, you have to look at creation.

Creation!

Gu Mengde sighed. Beckoning everyone to disembark.

The housekeeper and everyone greeted each other one by one. When I saw Lin Mengyao, the smile in my eyes was quite deep. He has been a slave of the Gu family all his life, thinking about the Gu family everywhere, and now he sees Gu Beichen supporting Lin Mengyao. I saw Lin Mengyao's big belly again. I was overjoyed. At that moment, he called the maid and maidservant girl over. Carefully served Lin Mengyao. Xu was too concerned about Lin Mengyao, and this housekeeper Sun ignored Gu Ruyu on the side.

Lin Mengyao squinted at Gu Ruyu, but Gu Ruyu was quite generous. There is no argument at all, and there is a smile on his face.

Everyone went up the stairs and was about to step into the house, when two brightly dressed women were already greeted by a group of maids. After greeting Gu Mengde, he hugged a group of female dependents and went to the house.

Lin Mengyao looked at Gu Beichen and saw that he gave a comforting smile, so she took Cuizhu to follow behind Liu and the others.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to my sister-in-law's return!" The plump woman sat at the foot of Liu's head, enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you haven't been back for many years, this time you come back, just stay a few more days, so that we can enjoy the friendship of the landlord!" ”

"That's it, sister-in-law, you don't know, we learned that you and your eldest brother are coming back, but we can't sleep for several days with excitement, and we are full of thoughts about how to treat you so that we are not slacking!" In stark contrast to the plump lady, the woman who was talking at the moment was a woman who was so thin that a gust of wind could blow away, and her smile was quite fake: "Look, in order not to snub you, we have renovated this house and outside the house, and we have made a lot of silver taels!" ”

The two women, fat and thin, were very enthusiastic, but they were also very false. Lin Mengyao stood aside with a smile, and didn't speak, just listened. It turned out that these two people were the concubines of her mother-in-law Liu, that is, Gu Beichen's aunt, but they were not relatives, they were branches of Gu Beichen's grandfather's generation. However, it is precisely because of the thin branches of the Gu family that even if the bloodline is far away, they still live together, and at this moment, these two aunts who have been separated by several generations are really asking for merit in front of the Liu family - in order to welcome the return of the Gu family, they spent a lot of money, big silver two!

It can be seen from the complexion that the Liu family doesn't like these two concubines very much, but they have to get by on face, and they can be regarded as smiling.

"It's really annoying a few sisters, we came back this time to let you spend so much money, and when you settle down here, I will let Chen'er visit your yard, always close and close."

Visit?

It's not just a visit!

Seeing the two ladies laughing so much that they couldn't even see their eyes, Lin Mengyao knew that when she visited, Gu Beichen would definitely give a generous gift.

sneered at family affection in her heart because of gold and silver, but Lin Mengyao could see it: It's not just this life, the previous life is different?! In her previous life, her father Yao Ziwen was the prime minister, and the relatives who couldn't beat the eight poles in the past came to the door with their eyes, but when the Xiangfu was ruined, don't say that those distant relatives are her own uncle, Yao Ziwen's younger brother Yao Ziwu is also eager to quickly clear up the relationship!

That year, if it weren't for Yao Ziwu's cold watch, maybe Yao Menglin's mother would not have been hit by a carriage and died without treatment!

A little distracted, Lin Mengyao sat on the side in a daze, but the two ladies, one fat and one thin, had already shifted the topic to her.

"Oh, this is Chen's daughter-in-law, right? Tut-tut, it's really blessed, look at this body for about seven months, right? ”

Lin Mengyao hurriedly responded: "It's only been less than six months." ”

In fact, it was only five months old, and it was only one month earlier when I told Liu that I was pregnant.

"Good boy, I have such a big belly in six months......"

"My daughter-in-law here is a blessed one, and the dragon and phoenix are auspicious in her belly!"

Dragon and phoenix are auspicious?

The two ladies were both speechless, and soon there was a hint of jealousy on their faces: they are both women, they are not as good as Liu's marriage, and their husbands don't talk about it, and they also marry three rooms and four concubines; also has a son, and the son is not as talented as Gu Beichen, but they are all afraid of the inside, which makes them angry with their daughter-in-law; Let's talk about daughters-in-law, they are also beating their chests, their daughters-in-law are all married, and tigresses generally don't say anything on weekdays, and they are not allowed to take concubines even after giving birth to two worthless female babies!

People are better than people, it's really infuriating!

The two of them were very unbalanced in their hearts, looked at Lin Mengyao's stomach left and right, and said indifferently: "Dragon and phoenix Chengxiang are very rare, and they are also very precious, but they are not something ordinary people can bear!" ”

"Yes, a woman gives birth to a child but slips around in the ghost gate, what about two children, giving birth to a child will cost half a woman's life, this is another one, but God has to take care of it!"

"Tut-tut, that's right, can't you ...... then"

Originally, these two aunts just talked about cool things, but at this time, they actually shifted the topic to the child, and there were many unkind intentions - is it tolerable or unbearable!

Lin Mengyao's face was unhappy, looking at the two aunts, one fat and one thin, and was about to speak, but she didn't want Gu Ruyu to speak first. (To be continued......)
