Chapter 18: The Ancestor Has Arrived

After waking up, the first thing Gu Qingchu did was to plan the people in the house, and she reformulated the rules of the house to make the originally lazy people become orderly, so when Yuan Jinpei first came to Chaoge, he couldn't investigate anything.

Gu Qingchu asked the housekeeper to buy a new batch of young maids, patrolling the outer courtyard every day, and the housekeeper found a dart master who had walked through the darts to train these little guys.

The results of a month's training are there, they have combat effectiveness when they go out, and they seem to be enough to bluff people, much stronger than the previous little guys who looked like they would fall down with a push.

Twenty sturdy men were called, each wearing a knife with a red handle at his waist, and he was majestic.

This is Gu Qingchu took out from the treasury, it used to be Gu Jiajun's knife, in the Great Xia Dynasty, a good knife can be exchanged for a few taels of silver, and a few taels of silver is the expense that the poor can't use for a year, so ordinary people can't afford to buy a knife.

The little guy in the house has a knife, either the mansion is quite rich, or he is an official in the court, even if the guy is a guard around him. This situation is common in the capital, but in Chaoge, in addition to the government office, the small house in Ningliang Houfu is the only one at the moment.

Sitting on a sedan chair with the totem of the head of the Gu family, Gu Qingchu had ten guards with knives before and after. The guards were tall and tall, and they walked and looked ahead, unlike other people's little guys, who looked at each other and looked more like disciplined soldiers.

Wait a minute, the person in the sedan chair can't be Ning Lianghou, right?! The people speculated like this, and there were good believers who followed all the way.

Wenxuan Club is a place where the young ladies and sons in Chaoge City compose poems and appreciate paintings on weekdays, and today's banquet is mentioned by Zhang Ruorong, the daughter of Taishou, although Gu Wanran is a concubine, she is the only daughter of Gu Erye, so there is a quota.

I've met a few times before, and it's not too pleasant, and the Great Xia Dynasty is not harsh on men and women, so every time the poetry club gets together, Miss Gongzi has it, but they all have the same thing, they are all descendants.

Looking down on Gu Wanran is only one of them, and the second is because Gu Wanran has a father like Gu Er, every time she is invited, she has to invite her for the sake of Ning Lianghou's face, and she is unwilling to take her to play together.

So they all isolated Gu Wanran, and after two or three times, after receiving the post, Gu Wanran found a reason to shirk it.

This time, Gu Wanran came to participate, because he was influenced by his father, and his father said that he should have the confidence to go out in the future, and he could not lose the face of his ancestors.

The ancestor also said that the Gu family did not instigate others, so she wanted to participate, and no one would pay attention to it, so it was a big deal to go to taste tea.

Who knew that Zhang Ruorong's cousin Fan Kui also came today, Fan Kui was the only son of the Ministry of Rites, and was thrown to Chaoge by his father because he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it in Shengjing, so he could stay honest for a while and raise his temperament.

The result is good, Chaoge doesn't have to be Shengjing, the biggest official is a prefect, here Fan Kui has become a little overlord, no one dares to provoke, but is even more lawless.

It's not just what's wrong, there are so many people in Wenxuan Club, he just looks at Gu Wanran unpleasantly, and from time to time he makes Gu Wanran white-faced.

The rest of the ladies are naturally happy to watch the excitement, and sometimes they will fan the flames, Gu Wanran generally can't hear it, and turns a deaf ear to what the other party says, so he doesn't say it.

Today, the other party stabbed two more sentences, Gu Wanran thought that he didn't hear it, but the other party mentioned the ancestor.

"I heard that your ancestor woke up? Really? Why didn't she come out for me to see? Fan Kui kicked the table with his foot, and mentioned that Gu Qingchu's attitude was very disrespectful.

If she was talking about her on weekdays, Gu Wanran would have endured it, and this time she couldn't help but reply: "My ancestor is a good waiter for Chaoning, what qualifications do you have to let her old man go out to show you?" ”

The disdain in the words made Fan Kui blush, in front of these people, Gu Wanran gave him no face, it was the age to save face, Fan Kui got up angrily.

"Also, I have been lying in the house for thirty years, and I guess I can't move my legs and feet when I wake up!" Fan Kui said that this sentence was not enjoyable, and said: "I heard that your father is going to sell you, why will I be able to order you in Wancui Pavilion in a few days?" ”

Wancui Pavilion is a flower building in Chaoge City, these words are vicious, and the thin-skinned daughter's family is simply ashamed to hear it, Gu Wanran is very calm, although she is so angry that her whole arm is shaking, but she still remembers the words of the ancestor when he taught his father to face the Gu clan: You are the descendant of the Gu family, and you are not allowed to show cowardice in the face of outsiders, as long as your surname is Gu, you represent the Gu family.

My surname is Gu.

Gu Wanran read these three words in her heart, held back her eyes that wanted to cry, raised her chin and glared at Fan Kui, this unconvinced attitude, Fan Kui felt that he was offended, who didn't bow his head to him and obediently be trained!

Fan Kui's words next were even more harsh and ugly.

Originally, the young ladies who watched the excitement couldn't bear it, although they couldn't look down on Gu Wanran, but Fan Kui was too much today, because of Fan Kui's identity, none of the men and women present dared to stand up and persuade a word.

They were afraid to direct Fan Kui's fire to their bodies.

"Fan Kui, don't deceive people too much!" Gu Wanran snorted, listening carefully to her voice trembling a little, she desperately told herself that she couldn't cry, she couldn't embarrass the Gu family to her ancestors.

"What happened to me bullying you today? The bedridden ancestor of your family couldn't beat me with a cane? Fan Kui kicked over the table in front of Gu Wanran, and the tea was sprinkled on Gu Wanran's skirt, and a few pieces of tea were hanging sporadically.

Fan Kui let out a sneer, turned around and went downstairs, shaking his hands as he walked, "I'm waiting for your ancestor to come and find ......."

Before I could say a word, I took a step forward, and his whole body flew backwards, lying directly on the tea he had just kicked and spilled, and his body was muddy.

Who would dare to do anything to Fan Kui?

Everyone looked at the staircase, and saw a woman wearing a hood and a dark red skirt walking up, and the toe and belt were inlaid with pearls the size of a thumb, which attracted the attention of the young ladies.

Zhang Ruorong's eyes were straight, when she went to her grandmother's house with her father to Beijing, she was fortunate to meet the prime minister's wife, and the pearls on the sideburns were not as good as the pearls on the tips of women's shoes.

The woman ignored everyone and walked directly to the main seat and sat down, beckoning to Gu Wanran: "Wanran, come here." ”

Gu Wanran was stunned, she didn't expect the ancestor to come back, and Lamei really asked for the ancestor when she returned home! Gu Wanran's lips moved, she wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would cry when she opened her mouth.

"Yes, Ancestor." Gu Wanran suppressed the emotions in her heart, bowed, and then walked to Gu Qingchu's side.

Ancestor?!

Gu Qingchu's title calmed the people present, this woman who spoke in a very young voice was Ning Lianghou, the ancestor of the Gu family?!
