Chapter 114: Return
"How did I sleep here?" The next day, as soon as Gu Yan woke up and pushed the door open, he saw Xu Guzheng sitting at the door, still holding a small half of a cooking cake in his hand. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Gu Yan's question, Xu Gu swallowed the cooking cake into his stomach in two bites, and said angrily, "You were drunk yesterday, and you refused to leave, so I had to find another place to sleep for a while." ”
"Am I drunk? I don't have any impressions, aren't you making a joke about me? ”
"Yes, you weren't drunk, you just fell asleep." Xu Gu said helplessly.
"Is this the thing? How did Brother Wen Jian sleep last night, I am really sorry for occupying the magpie's nest, forgive me, forgive me. Gu Yan smiled and made a half-gesture, "Why doesn't Brother Wen Jian make do with it in the room?" Am I sleeping in a rather indecent position? ”
"I'm worried that I'm dreaming at night and beating you half to death." Xu Gu said half-truthfully, "For the safety of your Lord Gu, it's better that I don't sleep with you." ”
"What's your name, Lord Gu......" Gu Yan said with a smile, "I have to go to the ancestral hall today...... It will take two or three days to touch, if Brother Wen Jian has any old friends and relatives near Yangzhou, just go and visit, don't worry about me. ”
"No, I'll stay here, and practice my ability to pierce a boulder with an arrow and jump onto the city wall." Xu Gu joked.
"I didn't know anything about kung fu before, why are you still making fun of me?" Gu Yan said with a smile.
Xu Gu secretly observed Gu Yan's expression, and seeing that his expression was natural, Fang smiled again: "I didn't laugh at you, are you listening to these two sentences?" I also wrote a poem: "'There are many heroes in the rivers and lakes, and Wen Jian is the strongest. An arrow pierces a boulder, and a leap jumps up the city wall. 'How?' When I'm done, I'll be able to frame it at the head of my bed. ”
Gu Yan couldn't help laughing.
==============================================================================================================================================================
Two or three days passed in a flash, and Gu Yan and his party continued to go south, and they would inevitably cross the river when they went south. Gu Yan stood on the river, and couldn't help but make a scholarly mistake, so he wrote a poem on the spot. But after getting on the boat, most of his poetry dissipated.
"This is really rare, you grew up in Liangzhejiang, you are an authentic southerner, why, are you not used to taking a boat?" Xu Guqi said.
"The northerners are good at horses, and I don't see that the people in the north are all equestrian masters." Gu Yan said, "What's more, I'm just bored when I cross the big river." After finally crossing the river and resting for a while, he continued to set off for Changzhou, and by the third day, he had already entered the city.
Gu Yan lifted the curtain on the carriage halfway, looked at the familiar street scene, and after a while, he suddenly sighed, "To be honest, I really don't want to live back." ”
Xu Gu cast an inquiring look.
"My eldest uncle wrote a letter a year ago that he has been transferred to Xuanzhou, and now only my second uncle's family is still in Changzhou." Gu Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I have a younger brother, and the relationship is not very harmonious, and when I come back this time, I am afraid that there will be trouble again." ”
"You can even make friends with people like Lin Zigui, but you don't have a good relationship with your younger brother?" Gu Yan is a person who does not have the arrogance of being young and ambitious, is gentle and polite, and is meticulous and thorough. In addition, he is not very old, and during his time in Beijing, he made a wide range of friends and never had any bad comments. On the contrary, he was taken care of by many colleagues and seniors. Even if it's not very popular, it's good. It is precisely because of this that Xu Gufang asked this question.
Gu Yan smiled, "I'm not money and money, how can everyone love me?" Even if it becomes money and money, it is inevitable that someone will scold a few words. ”
As he spoke, he arrived.
Gu Yan had already asked people to report the news first, and at this time, the door was open, and someone was already outside to greet him. Gu Yan and Xu Gu walked in the door, and the second uncle, Gu Ji, was waiting in the hall. Seeing Gu Yan coming in, he said with a smile: "Yuzhi is back, is the journey good?" ”
Gu Yan saluted, "There is Uncle Lao's note." ”
"I don't know who this is?" Gu Ji saw Xu Gu standing beside him at a glance.
Xu Gu's face was burned on half of his face, and he was tall and burly, and at first glance, he didn't look like a good person. So Xu Gu generally wears a mask. What is now shown in Gu Ji's eyes is a tall man with an ordinary appearance, an expressionless face, and a long shirt on his body, which makes Gu Ji feel a little puzzled, and it is not all polite to say this.
Gu Yan said, "This is a friend I made in Bianjing, and I will return to my hometown this time." ”
Friends? Gu Ji still had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask much, only said: "Your uncle has been transferred, there are many vacancies in the family, I have already asked someone to clean up the side room, you can live with peace of mind."
Gu Yan smiled, "Uncle bothered, but I still want to live in the same place." ”
"It was a place of filial piety, remote and poor. Now that you have come out of the period of filial piety, what are you still doing there? Gu Ji disagreed, "What's more, it hasn't been cleaned up there for a long time, I'm afraid it's dust." ”
"It doesn't matter." Gu Yan smiled, "Call two people, I'll clean up in person." It's rare to come back once, so naturally you have to worship your parents. In the future, I am afraid that there will be fewer opportunities for filial piety. ”
Seeing that Gu Yan had made up his mind, Gu Ji didn't do much to keep it. Only called three or four strong servant women to clean up the house with Gu Yan.
When he went out, Gu Yan smiled at Xu Gu and said, "Let's go, go to my former residence and have a look." Without waiting for the servants, the two of them went first.
Walking to the wooden house, Gu Yan first went to the grave and bowed deeply. Xu Gu followed and saluted, and the two entered the house.
Sure enough, a thick layer of dust had accumulated in this room, and Gu Yan wiped it with his fingers, and a layer of gray and black color appeared on his fingers. There was a sound of footsteps and talking outside the door, it turned out that those servant women had arrived, Gu Yan was not reserved, he personally rolled up his sleeves, picked up the rag and began to clean up, looking very skillful. Seeing him like this, Xu Gu couldn't help but smile, and also started to help clean it up. The hut wasn't huge, but in just two hours, it was renewed.
When the servants packed up their things and went back, Gu Yan slowly lowered his sleeves and pondered.
Xu Gu noticed that something was wrong, "What happened?" ”
"I don't know if it's my delusion." Gu Yan frowned and said, "It seems that someone has turned it here." ”

Said good two more.
