On the second day of October, Lin Chengzhi took Le Wei and Le Shu to Beijing to attend Qingshu's wedding, and he was accompanied by Gu Heping and Fugui father and son.

Because they arrived in the evening, Qingshu and An An happened to be at home.

Qingshu frowned and said, "We didn't invite them again, why did they come too?" ”

She wrote to Lin Chengzhi to ask him to attend the wedding, but she didn't let Gu Heping and his son come.

Old Madam Gu said, "Qingshu, I wrote to ask them to come. We have few relatives, and if we don't come to our hometown, we won't be able to get together ten tables. ”

Qingshu said: "There is no need to slap a swollen face and become fat if you can set up a few tables, but since you are here, I welcome it." It's just grandma, you must tell them not to talk about their hometown outside. Now a lot of people are staring at me and want to blame me for my mistakes, asking them to say that the affairs of my hometown are not accurate, and it will be very troublesome for others to take the opportunity to make trouble. ”

Seeing that Qingshu was not angry, Old Madam Gu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will tell them." ”

Because there were more people coming, Qingshu could only aggrieved Fu Ran to live in a courtyard with her, and then asked Lewen to move in with Fu Jingze. The vacated courtyard of the mother and son let Lin Chengzhi and Gu Heping and his son live.

Because there are so many people, the house is so lively.

When I get older, I like to be lively, Mrs. Gu said: "The house has always been deserted, it would be nice if it could be like this all the time!" ”

Qingshu said with a smile: "Grandma, after my uncle came back, he settled in the capital. In the future, when he marries a wife and has children, the family will definitely be lively at that time. I'm afraid that you'll be as noisy as your aunt! ”

Mrs. Qi came to the capital this time, except for Qi Xiangdi and his wife and their young son's family, no one else was allowed to follow, and all stayed in their hometown to keep filial piety.

Old Mrs. Gu Wan'er: "Your aunt just doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness." But speaking of which, your uncle said he was coming back more than a month ago, why hasn't it been here for so long? ”

Qingshu smiled and said, "There may be something delayed, but I believe that he will definitely come back before I get married." ”

"Hopefully!"

As a result, Gu Lin came back early in the morning of the second day.

When the people entered the house, Old Madam Gu looked at him and asked, "Who are you, Gu Lin?" ”

Gu Lin knelt on the ground and choked up: "Mother, the unfilial son Ah Lin is back." ”

Old Madam Gu looked at the person kneeling on the ground, and couldn't believe what she saw.

And I saw that the man kneeling on the ground was not only stout, but also had skin as black as charcoal, and his face was full of beard. He wears an azure robe with a black cloak on the outside.

I think that although Gu Lin was not a beautiful boy when he left Fuzhou, he was also a beautiful and good boy. But in front of me, look at the robber/robber who wants to rob the house.

An An was also surprised and asked, "Are you really my uncle?" But this has changed too much? ”

Not only did the appearance change drastically, but the voice was also wrong.

Gu Linzi also knew about his changes, and said: "I was young before, but now that I am an adult, it is naturally different. ”

Before he went to Tongcheng, he was an immature young man, but now he has become a big man.

Sure that it was really Gu Lin, Mrs. Gu said with a bitter face: "How can you find a daughter-in-law now?" ”

An An was embarrassed.

Gu Lin said with a smile: "If I can't marry a daughter-in-law, I will live with my mother in the future." ”

Old Madam Gu said angrily: "What are you doing guarding my lonely old woman?" Since you want to stay in the capital in the future, then take care of it well, and then I will say goodbye to you when it is raised. ”

Qingshu finished practicing the words before she knew that Gu Lin was back, and when she arrived at the main courtyard, several people had already chatted and had a good chat.

After lunch, while Old Madam Gu was resting, Qingshu invited Gu Lin to the study.

Qing Shu went straight to the point and asked, "What's going on with that Su lady?" ”

Gu Lin was a little embarrassed: "Qingshu, I really have nothing to do with her, if you don't believe me, I can ask Miss Wu." ”

"Since you have nothing to do with her, why do you often go to Su's house to help her carry water and chop firewood, and ask someone to help her renovate the house? And you taught her three children to read and write, and they also bought food and cloth. ”

Without waiting for Gu Lin to speak, Qingshu said: "You said that you took pity on a few children so you helped them, but you helped too much." Just did this to you, you said that you were not interesting to Su Niangzi, do you think others will believe it? ”

Gu Lin sighed and said, "I really didn't have a good grasp of this matter, so I apologized to Mrs. Su." ”

Qing Shu stared at him and asked, "Uncle, you really don't like Su Niangzi?" ”

Gu Lin smiled bitterly: "Not really." I just saw that the kids were skinny and pitiful, and I couldn't help but want to help them. Qingshu, I know what it's like to be hungry, so it's really distressing to see those children staring at a bun and drooling. ”

"Tongcheng is not the only hungry Su family with three children, why do you help them?"

Gu Lin hurriedly said: "I also often buy food for Ergou and stones, and also help them repair the grass shed!" Before I came back, I bought enough food for Ergou Shishi and them to eat for a winter. ”

Qing Shu was really relieved when he heard this: "How can the children of the Su family be skinny? The imperial court gave pensions, and the third brother and his colleagues often helped them. ”

The pension given by the imperial court to the generals who died in the war was not low, even for ordinary soldiers, there were sixty taels. The price in Tongcheng is not high, and this silver is enough to feed the child in a few years, which is still under the premise that there is no one to help and the whole family does not go out to work to make money.

Gu Lin explained: "Su Niangzi's sister had a serious illness, and she lent money to her sister for treatment. ”

"And then?"

Gu Lin said with a smile: "Su Niangzi's sister has been rescued, but her sister's family is not rich and can't repay the money for the time being, so their family has a hard time." ”

Qing Shu understood: "Don't blame the third brother for saying that she is a good person." ”

Gu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, he is a very good person." Whoever is in trouble will help as long as she can, and every time she fights, she will go to the wounded barracks to help. ”

"You admire her too?"

Gu Lin felt that this was not quite right, and hurriedly said: "No, I just admire her very much, and I also think that she is not easy." ”

Qingshu sneered: "It's not easy for her? I think it's not easy for her three children, and it's really eight lifetimes of blood mold to meet such a mother-in-law. ”

She saved her sister with her husband's money, but let her three children starve. She is indeed a good person as you told the third brother, but she is definitely an incompetent mother. ”

Gu Lin was stunned when he heard this.

Qingshu said: "Did you really make it clear to her?" ”

"Clear."

"Are you sure you made it clear? Won't you let her feel that it's because we don't agree that you won't marry her? ”

also felt that this Su Niangzi's brain circuit was not normal, so Qingshu had such suspicions.

The main reason is that Mrs. Gu wants to say goodbye to Gu Lin, and she also wants her to help pick it. This matter was not resolved clearly, and Qingshu didn't dare to help him say goodbye.

Gu Lin hurriedly said: "It's clear, it's really clear." ”

"That's good."
