The gate of the Gu family has been renovated, and Tu Guobao led the Qing soldiers to fight a bloody battle here, and the traces have been eliminated.

Hou Xuanyan was amazed, he was really a wealthy family, and he didn't forget to decorate the façade at this time.

Gu Ling'er looked extremely excited, Ji'er and Xiaoxiao held her hand and shouted while shaking: "It's home, it's home." ”

Hou Xuanyan squatted down, scratched her little nose, and said, "In the future, this is your mother's house, and our family is your home, do you know?" ”

Gu Ling'er was obviously unwilling to buy it, and when she arrived at her mother's house, the little girl became angry.

She stuck out her little tongue, grimaced, and shook her head in protest: "This is Ling'er's home." ”

The Gu family's disciples have long been instructed by their masters, and today is the day when the governor, that is, the uncle of the family, comes.

Hou Xuanyan is the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although this official name has no rights now, but the name is terrifying. The reason why the real power faction in the Longwu regime in the south is willing to give him such a big name, first because of the geographical location of Suzhou. Now that Suzhou has fallen on all sides, except for a small city like Jiangyin, which is not ready to surrender, it has changed its course to serve the Manchus. In this way, Suzhou has become the front line of the anti-Qing resistance, and the longer Suzhou lasts, the safer they will be.

Second, between Suzhou and the Longwu regime, there was a sensitive Lu regime. In this way, Hou Xuanyan's status has risen and he has become the target of the Longwu regime. In case Hou Xuanyan supports King Lu, then the Longwu regime has no way to deal with him. And the great credit of reviving the state alone will fall on the head of King Lu. If this is the case, the will of the people becomes a problem.

The doormen greeted them and led the way diligently, and someone had already rushed into the inner courtyard to inform the heads of the house.

Gu Youde came out in person, with his three sons, which can be said to have given enough respect to this uncle.

The three sons of the Gu family also performed differently when they saw Hou Xuan.

The boss Gu Shouye, that is, his father-in-law, had a scornful face and was extremely embarrassed. That night, he was loudly advocating to surrender the city to the enemy, and was arrested by his own uncle. Rao is Gu Shouye has been immersed in the sea for so long, and he has practiced a cheeky face, but he still finds it difficult to face his son-in-law. Fortunately, Gu Ling'er successfully alleviated his embarrassment, Xiao Ling'er broke free from the two maids, got into her father's arms, and screamed affectionately.

This voice was soft and glutinous, and Gu Shouye's heart melted, he glanced at Hou Xuanyan, looked at the little daughter in his arms, and sighed.

Let's do my best to support my uncle in the future, no matter how you say that Ling'er has already followed him.

The second child, Gu Shouzheng, stared at Hou Xuanyan with a look of adoration, and his eyes were unwilling to leave for a moment. As a scholar, under the instruction of Hou Xuanyan, he can be said to have made the most colorful stroke in his life. Blowing up Bolo, he made a great contribution, which is the ultimate pursued by a scholar. At this time, Hou Xuanyan was in his eyes, he was a hero who supported the community, helped the building to fall, and turned the tide.

The third child was in a daze, following behind the two brothers, lacking interest. It can be seen that he was forcibly come out to make up the number and support the scene. He wore a long robe woven of Shu brocade and a small melon skin hat inlaid with an emerald gem the size of a quail egg. Hou Xuanyan glanced at him with a wicked look, and said in his heart that you deserve to be green by your father. A young offspring in his twenties, he looks like he has empty feet and deep eye sockets, and he looks like a kidney deficiency hollowed out by wine. On the other hand, his father Gu Youde, who is in good spirits at his age, and when he really goes to bed, he must be more vigorous than this son.

Hou Xuanyan saw everyone's performance in his eyes, and walked forward with a smile.

Gu Shouzheng grabbed him and said, "The commander doesn't have to be like this, how dare we accept the commander's gift." ”

"Hey, that's talking about the public, and now in our own house, we only talk about seniority, regardless of official position."

His words were in Gu Shouzheng's ears, no less than the golden rule, and he immediately went to three points of respect, and became more close.

Gu Youde looked at Gu Yanwu beside Hou Xuanyan, his face was surprised, and asked, "Jiang'er, is it you?" ”

Gu Yanwu gave a junior salute and said, "Old lady, I haven't come to visit you for a long time. ”

When Gu Youde saw it, it was really him, he was his distant relative, speaking of which, the Gu family in Kunshan was the Jiangdong Wang family, and his own Suzhou lineage was a side branch of others.

The family warmly welcomed Hou Xuanyan and Gu Yanwu into the mansion, and the housekeeper Gu Jiu had already arranged the banquet.

Today is a family banquet, and Gu Yanwu is also his own relative, so the ladies of the Gu Mansion are also dressed lightly, and the home clothes come out to sit at the table.

Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to recognize the whole person, he and Gu Ling'er were married, and at that time, they only cared about taking what they needed, and there was no ceremony at all. This time he recognized all his relatives, Gu Ling'er's biological mother stared at him up and down, nodded with satisfaction for a while, and wiped her tears distressedly. is Gu Youde's third daughter-in-law, his own little third aunt, who has a pungent temperament and gags.

Although Gu Laosan was not in tune, he still coughed lightly and stopped his daughter-in-law.

Hou Xuanyan watched coldly, this little third aunt had a peach blossom face, willow eyebrows, a tall nose, a small cherry mouth, and nothing on her body that was not flattering. Bee waist and peach buttocks, full of fruits on the chest, tall and tall, white and slender neck, no place is not demonic. Sure enough, it is a stunner who can lead the old man to climb the ashes, and it makes people's bones lighter at a glance.

Such a woman is accustomed to attracting bees and butterflies, so she is the most sensitive to men's gaze. Feeling Hou Xuanyan's burning eyes, she was greatly embarrassed, this little beast was the husband of her own niece, and she dared to look at herself like this. She glanced at it fiercely, and in Hou Xuanyan's eyes, she had a different style, if it weren't for the wide and comfortable robe, she would almost make a fool of herself in public.

It's a pity that such a good piece of mutton fell into the mouth of Gu Youde, an old dog, which is really suffocating. Hou Xuanyan sighed and was jealous, frowning and shaking his head.

Gu Youde smiled and said, "Wen Yuan, I see that you are worried, what is on your mind?" ”

"When the national crisis is at hand, I think that a large area of land in the north is still in the hands of barbarians, and my heart is full of sorrow." Hou Xuanyan secretly screamed ashamed, and said in his heart My sad face is purely envious of you, an old thing, such a good woman.

When Gu Shouzheng heard this, his face turned red as if he had taken the medicine, and he shouted loudly: "Well said!" is worthy of being a commander, with a loyal minister and a good general like the commander, why worry about not recovering the mountains and rivers! ”

Gu Youde smiled, stroked his snow-white beard, and said, "Let's only talk about family affairs today, let's put state affairs aside first." After speaking, he clapped his hands, and the servants served the dishes with fish and fish, and for a while there were eight treasures on land and water, and the dishes and fruits were all lined up, which was very rich. Delicate fine porcelain plates and saucers, one by one placed on the smooth and smooth tabletop, the delicate little maid stepped forward to fill the wine glasses one by one, and retreated to the side to wait.
