Gu Changqing's study, the candle flame is flickering.

A secret guard dodged in and bowed to him: "Son! ”

Gu Changqing's face was hidden in the dark, and he looked a little cold.

He looked at the guard, "How's it going to get you investigating?" ”

The dark guard hugged his fists and said: "If you return to the world, you haven't found it." ”

Gu Changqing frowned: "Not one?" Back then, there were seven or eight maids and four or five grandmothers in my mother's room, so why couldn't I find them? ”

It's really weird.

Like the subordinates who were with Yao's side when he gave birth, there is no trace.

There were not many descendants of Yao's family who accompanied the birth back then, two little maids and an old grandmother, the old grandmother died, and the little maid could not be found to marry far away.

Yao's background is not high, and her maids are not so harsh, but Xiaoling's descendants have been strictly screened, and the upper three generations can be traced, and it is impossible to be heard from casually.

The secret guard said: "Those are all the descendants brought by the first lady from her mother's family, if you really want to investigate, you have to start with the Ling family." ”

But the Ling family is Gu Changqing's tenant, and he has always trusted the other party very much.

If you really want to check, first of all, he can't pass this level in his heart.

"Check." He said.

The dark guard was stunned: "Shizi? ”

Gu Changqing said with a straight face: "I need a truth." ”

The dark guard glanced at Shizi deeply, and bowed down: "...... Be! ”

After the secret guard left, Gu Changqing took out the evidence of that year - the letter written by the Yao family to Gu Houye.

The letter said that Xiao Ling's illness could not be delayed for a few days, when would Gu Houye come to marry her? She is not from a high background, and if she hadn't decided on this family business earlier, I am afraid that he would have uncertainties in the future.

The meaning in and out of the words is that the two of them already have a relationship, and they still take advantage of Xiao Ling's critical illness and Yao's door to take care of her.

If a person does this, then she has to be a scheming and vicious woman?

But if she wasn't, then what kind of terrible existence was the person who forged the letter?

Moreover, it was not just the letter, but there were also people who saw the Yao family enter Gu Houye's study with their own eyes.

Did that person see it wrong, or was it instructed by someone?

Who can make the people around Xiao Ling's side move?

Gu Changqing's heart was in a mess, he got up, took the letter back to the box, opened the door of the study and walked out.

There was light snow outside.

He mounted his mount and walked all the way out of the Hou Mansion in the wind and snow.

He didn't bother to think about where he was going, but the horse stopped in front of the house in Bishui Hutong.

The gate of the house was open, and lanterns were lit in the hall and courtyard.

From his point of view, he could see several children sitting in the snow without fear of freezing, as if they were playing leaf cards.

Gu Yan's face was painted all over the turtle king, and there were a lot of stickers.

The face of the little clearance is very clean and there is nothing.

There was also a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy.

Although Gu Changqing had been here and went in to take care of Gu Yan for a night, Gu Xiaoshun also had a pox rash at that time, and he was recuperating in the room, because the two of them had never met each other.

But this did not affect Gu Changqing from guessing his identity.

Gu Xiaoshun also lost many times playing the leaf card, and his face was also painted with the turtle king eight.

The old lady came over while eating the candied fruit jar, touched the heads of the three people in turn, did not freeze, and continued to nibble on her candied fruit.

Gu Changqing looked at this scene, but he actually didn't understand.

Gu Xiaoshun is the child of Gu Jiao's adoptive parents, and Xiao Jingkong is a little monk adopted by the mountain, and neither of them has any blood relationship with Gu Jiao.

But their status at home is the same as Gu Jiao and Gu Yan.

Isn't it true that your own children can get along so well?

"Oh, Brother Yan, you're cheating again!"

Gu Yan secretly hid a card and was caught red-handed by Xiao Jingkong.

"I didn't!" Gu Yan denied it seriously.

"And what is this?" Xiao Jingkong decisively found out the leaf card that was stuffed in the snow by Gu Yan.

Gu Yan tricked: "How do I know?" I didn't hide it. ”

"That's you! It's you! I see it! The little one was so angry that he climbed on the stool, stomped his feet and jumped up!

The two quarreled.

The little pets of the two also began to quarrel, and there was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the yard.

Suddenly, Gu Xiaoshun looked at the door: "Someone?" ”

The two of them quarreled for a while, and they all looked towards the door.

Gu Changqing was originally just watching quietly from the sidelines, but he didn't know when he could see it, and he actually stood at the door with a loud voice.

It's too late to get out of the way.

Both saw him.

"Wow! Big brother! Xiao Jingkong instantly forgot Fang Cai's unhappiness, jumped down from the stool, and ran towards Gu Changqing with a dada.

Gu Yan also thought about it, but suddenly thought of something, lost the leaf card in his hand, and hurriedly tore off the note on his face.

After pulling it, I remembered that I had a turtle king eight painted on my face.

In desperation, he pasted the note again!

"Big brother! Make a fortune! Xiao Jingkong arched his little hand and bowed politely.

The neighbors came to their house and said so, and he learned.

Gu Changqing's eyes softened: "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Qingkong said: "Play the leaf card!" ”

Aunt teach!

The old lady opened her mouth: "Little clearance, who's it?" ”

Xiao Jingkong turned around and said, "It's big brother!" ”

The old lady knew who it was, so she sighed, "Come in and eat together." ”

Her voice is not loud, and her tone is not heavy, but she has an aura that people can't refuse.

Gu Changqing hesitated.

He didn't think about visiting, so he didn't bring gifts, and it didn't seem good for the New Year.

"What are you still doing? In! The old lady said.

"Yes!" Gu Changqing walked in.

He greeted the old lady first.

Strangely, he was doing the courtesy of a king.

He himself was stunned by his own subconscious actions.

Fortunately, the old lady and everyone didn't care.

Gu Yan hung his head low, not letting him see the turtle king eight on his face.

Gu Changqing looked at Gu Yan's cowardly little appearance, and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Gu Yan heard his laughter, his whole person was not good, so he decisively turned his back in the snow and shook him on the back of his head!

The old sacrificial wine took Xiao Liulang to visit the critically ill old friend, and the dinner was made by Gu Jiao.

It's not as big fish and meat as the Hou Mansion, but it tastes like a child.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was not so serious, and the family ate [txt] happily.

Gu Changqing even regretted why he didn't stay the first two times.

After eating, Xiao Jingkong asked him: "Big brother, do you want to play cards?" ”

"I—I'm not." Gu Changqing grew up under the pressure of Old Marquis Gu since he was a child, and his growth path was very strict, and playing basically had nothing to do with him.

In his cognition, he shouldn't play and can't play, otherwise he wouldn't be a qualified heir.

Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said, "It's okay, I can let my aunt teach you!" My aunt is amazing! ”

All three of them are from my aunt's church!

Xiao Jingkong is the smartest one, and as soon as my aunt teaches her, she often kills Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun without leaving a piece of armor!

Gu Changqing hesitated.

Gu Jiao curled the corners of her lips: "For the New Year, you can play." ”

Gu Yan also nodded.

In fact, even Mrs. Gu, who loves her grandson so much, has never told him, it's okay, you can play.

Gu Changqing seemed to finally break the shackles he had been carrying on his back, and he took a deep breath: "That, that's okay." ”

Gu Jiao said: "Let's go to my aunt's house to fight, it's warm there, I'll go get some food." ”

The old lady's eyes flickered, Gu Changqing was dressed and had an extraordinary demeanor, and his face was upright, and he looked like a stupid person with a lot of money at the card table.

Old lady: "Oh, I'm embarrassed to draw the turtle king in front of the guests, hit ten copper plates, the youngest!" ”

The small, local tyrant, and net space have just collected rent, a lot of money, and there is no pressure at all!

Gu Xiaoshun also has a little bit of New Year's money given by Gu Jiao.

Gu Yan is the worst, his New Year's money is not enough to pay off the debt.

He works there in the small clearance, earning all the hard money, more than a dozen copper plates a day, shoveling chickens and poops until his hands are soft!

But compared to drawing the turtle king eight in front of Gu Changqing, he would rather lose his purse.

Deal...... is to owe the debt of the small net space again, and shovel a few more days of chicken poop for him.

Small clearance: Friendly reminder, your chicken poop schedule has been scheduled for next year!

"I'm really not good at ......" Gu Changqing was embarrassed, the old marquis never allowed him to play with things, he didn't even know the leaf cards, and it took him half a day to figure out which one was which, "If you don't play well, don't mind." ”

As a result, as soon as I got started, I gave the small clearance to the second!

Little Clearance: "......!! ”

After playing a few more games, to be honest, Gu Changqing is still in an ambiguous state about the rules, is it often better to play this or that? This one, right?

Then as soon as the cards were played, the whole audience was bombarded.

He himself won inexplicably.

The old lady is the gambling king of Bishui Hutong, and the neighbors have not been able to win money from her.

The old lady didn't believe in evil, so she went up to play a game, but was beaten by Gu Changqing.

The old lady's face turned black to carbon.

Gu Changqing sneered: "No...... I really didn't mean to, I won't fight this, I'll change it. ”

He changed to the smallest one, but unexpectedly made a straight that was the biggest!

The rest is Wang Fang, who wants to give double the money.

Old Lady: "......"

Fast-acting heart pills and wood?

The family who knew how to play cards was overturned by Gu Changqing, a novice who didn't even understand the rules.

The small headroom is dusty.

He stood there soulless, frantically being dragged back and forth by the old lady!

Can I ask everyone for a guaranteed monthly pass?

Bow in thanks.
