Chapter 601: A Sudden Flash of Memory
The carriage was determined in front of the gate of the Gu family, and Lin Ruan and the Tong family got out of the carriage.
As soon as he stood still, Gu Qian wanted to let people set off firecrackers.
Lin Ruan opened his mouth to stop: "Master Gu, let's count the dowry first, and it's not too late to celebrate after the count." ”
If you don't give face like this, most of the people in the Gu Mansion will change their faces.
In the past few days, in order to make up for the Shen family's dowry, the entire Gu Mansion has been tossed a lot, and the whole mansion has been complaining, and Lin Ruan, who has not yet returned to the mansion, is dissatisfied.
Especially Gu Xin'er, most of the jewelry in her hand is from the Shen family's dowry, because she used to hang the full stop of the Shen family's daughter, and the Xiao family deliberately connived, so she can withdraw those things at will.
As a result, everything has to be taken back now, and Gu Xin'er was so distressed that she cried for several days. Only then did she understand exactly that what she had lost was not only the identity of the Gu family's granddaughter and the Shen family's granddaughter, but also the real money she had held in her hands.
As soon as she thought of those things, she was so distressed that she twitched, and vaguely shook her eyes at Lin Ruan in the crowd.
Lin Ruan didn't care about the attitude of these people at all.
In the past few days, she has used her ability to see everyone in the Gu Mansion clearly, and there are few good things in this big family! Almost every room was stained with Shen Mengjun's dowry.
It's ridiculous!
A huge earl's palace has all reached out to the dowry of the deceased eldest daughter-in-law, which is really a good family style!
Tong glanced at those people with cold eyes, and turned his head to look at Gu Qian: "Lord Gu, I see that the people in the Gu Mansion are not too welcoming to us Ah Ruan. ”
The old uncle and Mrs. Gu were both sick in bed and couldn't come forward, so for the time being, Gu Qian, the eldest son, would be in charge of the overall situation.
Therefore, the Tong family directly talked to Gu Qian, and did not even give Gu Lian a superfluous look.
Gu Qian said with a straight face: "The sister-in-law is too worried, and the Gu family is looking forward to your return home day and night." ”
"Oh, yes. That's probably what dazzled me. Tong's smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, "Since the Gu family is so anxious to let Lin Ruan come back, let's quickly count Mengjun's dowry, and after the inventory is completed earlier, you can also have a family reunion as soon as possible." ”
Gu Qian hurriedly invited people to the mansion, and then turned around and glared fiercely at everyone in the Gu mansion.
Because of the status of the Dingguo Mansion, the Shen family's courtyard has been retained, and because they want to welcome Lin Ruan's return, the Gu family took the time to renovate and take care of the courtyard, and it looks quite like it.
After Tong entered the courtyard, he looked around, and his expression was a little sad.
The last time she entered this courtyard, it was when she and Mrs. Shen rushed back from the border to go to the funeral, and at that time, the white flags in the courtyard were stabbing people's eyes, and the fake Gu Ruan was standing under the porch with heavy filial piety, which made Mrs. Shen faint at once.
Recalling the scene back then, Tong's heart was still uncomfortable.
Lin Ruan stood in the courtyard, looking at the scenery in the courtyard, and suddenly a vague picture flashed in his mind.
There is a picture of Shen Mengjun teasing "her" with a toy, there is also a picture of "her" running in the yard, and there is also a picture of Gu Lian hugging "her" and Shen Mengjun talking and laughing warmly......
These were none of Lin Ruan's original memories.
It seems that the original owner really has a lot of memories in this courtyard.
But none of the most critical parts are there. The images that have just flashed into the past are of little value to her.
Gu Lian saw that Tong and Lin Ruan's expressions were a little heavy, so he took the opportunity to say: "Ah Ruan, this courtyard has always retained the appearance of the past, so that when you come back, there will be a place to remember your mother." ”
He originally wanted to say that he often came to this courtyard, but when he thought of the matter that Tong had mentioned about his concubines before, he swallowed the latter words back.
He is no longer suitable for playing an infatuated character.
Lin Ruan glanced back at Gu Lian: "This is indeed a good idea, as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I suddenly remembered some things about this courtyard in my mind." ”
Gu Lian's face suddenly became a little nervous: "What did you think of?" ”
Lin Ruan glanced at him with a smile: "It's about my mother teasing me with you in this courtyard, my mother laughed very happily, and I should be happy too." ”
Gu Lian's expression suddenly relaxed, with a little sadness, and he was about to talk about the warm and pleasant things of their family of three back then, but Lin Ruan asked, "Where is my mother's dowry?" ”
Gu Lian's disguised emotions were suddenly disrupted by Lin Ruan, and it was a little funny to get stuck on his face, so he quickly coughed: "In the house." ”
Lin Ruan asked people to open the door, only to see that the room was full of large and small cages and cabinets.
Although Lin Ruan had already seen the scale of these dowries with his abilities, he still felt that the Shen family was generous when he personally placed them in it.
It's a pity that such a rich dowry can't make the Gu family, a group of people with beastly hearts, soft on Shen Mengjun.
Lin Ruan's eyes were cold, and he didn't waste time, he took out the dowry list that he had backed up that year, as well as the list that Gu Lian handed over to Old Madam Shen yesterday, and let people start counting it.
Gu Lian said: "Sister-in-law, Ah Ruan, this courtyard has not been inhabited for a long time, and it is a little cold to stay, why don't you go to the main courtyard to sit for a while?" It just so happened that Nguyen's grandmother also wanted to meet her. ”
Tong Shi was very faceless: "No need, if Lord Gu is too cold, even if he leaves, Ah Ruan and I want to stay here even more." As for Old Madam Gu's side, she could only ask her to wait a little longer, and after the dowry was counted, Ah Ruan would go over to see her. ”
Gu Lian is not going now, nor is he going if he doesn't go, he is very embarrassed.
Tong didn't care about his face for half a minute, and commanded someone to move a chair over and sit down with Lin Ruan. Then Yahuan brought a small stove and something to make tea, and got up under the porch.
Gu Lian saw that they even brought their own water to make tea, and his face was even more ugly. This is a clear indication that the Shen family does not want to have anything to do with the Gu family.
The Tong family didn't look at Gu Lian's face, and the people who could make them see the face of the Dingguo Mansion couldn't take their turn to take care of the family.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for someone to come to Gu Lian, saying that there was something he needed to deal with, so he was relieved of his siege.
After Gu Lian left, Tong snorted: "Look at his face just now, it's disgusting!" ”
Lin Ruan smiled and patted Tong's hand: "Don't be angry, uncle, isn't it interesting to watch their performances that they think are superb in acting?" ”
Tong did not hide his emotions in front of Lin Ruan: "I really can't be calm about this family. ”
After all, she has been a fool for ten years, and she really can't let her deal with the family calmly, so she doesn't give the other party any face when she speaks.
Lin Ruan understands the Tong family very well, if she is the original owner, she can't be calm.
