Chapter 197: Brother Cheng
"Grandpa, please bring the guests in!" Gu Ye saw that his grandfather was like a student seeing a teacher who had been absent for a long time, he was nervous and excited, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Yes, yes! I personally went to meet the old general! Gu Xiao took his granddaughter and strode towards the direction of the gate. The father and son of the Zhao family also followed out of the living room.
General Chu has gray hair, ruddy complexion, and strong spirits, and does not look like an old man in a sixtieth year. Next to him is a handsome young man, with a tall figure, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and there is a little resemblance between his eyebrows and Chu Dashao. The Jun family came to Jun Yonglun, the head of the Jun family, and his four sons, Jun Qicheng.
Gu Xiao stepped forward quickly, and was about to kneel down on one knee to salute his old boss, but was grabbed by the arm of General Chu and helped him up. Old General Chu laughed heartily and said, "Gu boy, as soon as you leave the army, why do you get up with your mother-in-law?" I see, let's go back to the old man, and let's work together to drive Dijon back to Changmao Mountain! ”
Gu Xiao is nearly twenty years younger than General Chu, and when he followed him, he was just a weak-crowned boy, and General Chu always called him "Gu Boy". Now, Gu Xiao has gray hair on his temples, and being called so is ridiculous and amiable.
Seeing that General Chu was about to kidnap his grandfather as soon as he met, Gu Ye was unhappy, pursed his mouth and pretended to be displeased: "Old general, there are so many profitable generals around you, and several grandsons are also dragons and phoenixes among people, why do you rob grandpa with Ye'er?" Grandpa is mine! ”
Old General Chu looked at the little girl. Today, Gu Ye wore a goose-yellow robe, embroidered with pale pink begonia flowers, combed a double bun, decorated with yellow crystal spring flowers, a palm-sized little face smiling, and a pair of bright and kind eyes, as if he could speak. The whole person looks like a bunch of tender spring flowers, bright and full of vitality.
"Xiao Yezi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm estranged from Grandpa Chu. What a general is not a general, call grandpa! "The little girl is a little fatter than last winter, and she has raised well in the past six months, which shows that Gu Xiaozi has put a lot of thought into this granddaughter. Old Man Chu looked at her with a smile, and faintly felt a little kind.
"Grandpa Chu." Gu Ye was unusually well-behaved in front of the old man. She has a small abacus in her heart, her pharmaceutical factory and distillery are in Yancheng, and if she doesn't have a backer, she is afraid that it will cause a lot of trouble. Old Man Chu and the Jun family are in-laws, and the two families have a very high reputation and status in Yancheng, if you have a good relationship with them, the future will be much smoother.
(Ling Juechen: No one else, this hall can protect you well)
"Miss Gu, don't come to harm?" Jun Qicheng's elegant face had a warm smile. When he was in Yancheng, every time Gu Ye went out, he accompanied him, and the two were relatively familiar.
"Uncle Jun, Ninth Prince!" Gu Ye curtsied, with a sweet and warm smile on his face.
Jun Qicheng is a young man after all, and he said with some dissatisfaction when he heard this: "You call my father 'uncle', why did you become 'Nine Princes' when you came to me, when you were in Yancheng, I took you out to play." It's not an exaggeration to call me brother, right? ”
Jun Qicheng is the youngest in the family, and on weekdays, others take care of him and take care of him, and finally have a younger sister than himself, and he is so alienated and polite to him, so he is naturally a little unhappy.
Gu Ye was not embarrassed, and changed his words: "Brother Cheng...... When the elder brother meets the younger sister, there is no gift? ”
Jun Qicheng was overjoyed by this "brother", he flipped through his sleeve pockets, touched his purse, and went out without bringing a gift that he could get his hands on, and he made a big red face.
Seeing this, Gu Xiao pretended to scold: "You kid, you really don't understand the rules. How can you meet someone and ask for a gift? Nine sons, children are playing, don't take it to heart! ”
Jun Qicheng felt that his brother should have given his sister a gift. He glanced down at the fan in his hand, which was painted by Mr. Higashiyama, a good friend of his father's, and had a poem inscribed on it. Mr. Higashiyama's poetry and painting are both excellent, and he enjoys a good reputation in the literary world. He rarely paints fans, and this fan is particularly precious. Jun Qicheng grinded it from his father for a long time before he got the fan.
He sent the fan to Gu Ye and said, "This fan is Mr. Dongshan's handiwork, and it has a high collection value, so my sister can take it to play!" ”
Jun Yonglun was very surprised when he saw his son give away the fan. You know, this fan is very precious to the younger son, and several brothers asked him to borrow it to play, but he refused. was willing to give the fan to the little girl. Don't...... The son wants to trick a little daughter-in-law back for himself?
Several sons of the Jun family all have the idea of starting a business first and then starting a family, except for the eldest Jun Qishi who married a wife and had children, all the thoughts of the other three sons were academic, and their mother was worried. If the youngest son takes a fancy to the little girl of the Gu family, the Jun family has no opinion, and he and his wife will not object.
Gu Ye didn't know the gold and jade, and he scolded the door with his newly recognized brother in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he took the fan and fanned it in his hand. It's June now, and the weather is getting hotter, so the fan is quite useful.
Jun Qicheng was shocked when he saw it, for fear that she would break the fan, so he couldn't help but remind: "Mr. Dongshan rarely paints fans, if his sister breaks it, he can't find a second one." ”
"Is Mr. Higashiyama famous?" Gu Ye saw that Jun Qicheng was such a treasure of this fan, and realized that it was extraordinary, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Higashiyama's calligraphy, painting and poetry are sought after by the world. Outside his house, there are people guarding it every day. Just waiting for Mr. Dongshan's house to send the garbage out, hoping to turn out Mr. Dongshan's practice work. Mr.'s poems and paintings are hard to find, let alone fans! Between the words, Jun Qicheng turned into Mr. Dongshan's little fan brother, full of admiration and pursuit.
Gu Ye glanced down at the fan, there were poems and paintings on it, as well as Mr. Dongshan's signature and seal. Haha, this fan must be worth a lot of money! The dissatisfaction in Gu Ye's heart dissipated, and he closed the fan babyfully and held it in his hand.
"These two are ......" General Chu saw the father and son of the Zhao family and asked casually.
The father and son of the Zhao family hurriedly stepped forward, saluted the old general, and reported to their home. Although Baicaotang is in business, it is a century-old family after all. Many of the medicines used by the Jun family and the Chu family were bought from Baicaotang. General Chu smiled at the two and exchanged a few words of greeting. This flattered the Zhao family father and son.
The people sat down in the drawing room. Gu Xiao ordered the tea and pastries to be served again. Tea is the best Longjing in Gu Ye's space, and the pastries are Aunt Yan's best almond crisp and glutinous rice balls. Gu Ye loves to eat pastries, she has been busy with the pharmaceutical factory for more than a month, very hard, Aunt Yan will always make some snacks she likes every day, ensuring that no matter when she comes back, there will be pastries to fill her stomach.
