Chapter 603: It's all acting
Gu Lian's acting skills are good, and he wiped his tears excitedly while talking, which looked particularly touching.
The Tong family was disgusted in his heart, such a style, if Lin Ruan behaved too indifferently, I was afraid that some people would make irresponsible remarks.
After being in contact with Lin Ruan these days, she knew that Lin Ruan was a straightforward character, and such a character was really a loss to the group of foxes of the Gu family, and she was about to say a few words, but there was a sobbing sound beside her.
When he turned his head, he found that Lin Ruan was in tears.
"Father, when my daughter has been suffering outside, being abused, beaten and scolded all these years, and not having enough food and clothing, she has been thinking, why don't my relatives come to look for me? After all these years, have they forgotten that they have a daughter like me? Sometimes I can't hold it anymore, so I tell myself that maybe my relatives are living a hard life and living a precarious life, they must not want to look for me, but they are really too busy to take care of themselves, I must live a good life, and I will look for them when I grow up. It was with this thought that her daughter survived. ”
Tong almost laughed, if he hadn't bitten the tip of his tongue in time, he really couldn't help it.
She's such a wonderful niece. The Gu family wanted to perform in front of people, but Lin Ruan couldn't make them act in a few words.
Yes, the Gu family is not a poor family, how Gu Lian has been doing over the years, people with eyes have seen it, so no matter how superb his acting skills are, he can't stand the scrutiny.
Gu Lian's face was a little embarrassed, and he almost couldn't hold back.
Gu Qian hurriedly stepped forward to save the scene: "Okay, okay, you father and daughter are also bitter." God has eyes, let us reunite as a family. Come into the house, your grandfather and grandmother are waiting for you. ”
Lin Ruan wiped his tears, but he couldn't stop the tears, and said with a choked voice: "Uncle, a few days ago, Ah Ruan was ignorant and disturbed the peace of the house. I didn't mean to embarrass my family, but my mother had told me a dream before, telling me that the dowry was a dowry she had left to me, and that I must keep it safe, and not a single one of them should be missing. My mother and I have a weak relationship, and we will never see each other again in this life, and taking care of her dowry is the only thing my daughter can do for her. ”
Now those onlookers have nothing to say, and their mothers asked her to do this in a dream, so what else is there to say? Besides, those dowries should have been the lord of Fuyou County, and with the support of the Shen family, the teacher is famous, and it is the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks?
Gu Qian's face remained unchanged, but he had a preliminary understanding of Lin Ruan's methods in his heart.
They always thought that Lin Ruan grew up in the countryside, and he didn't have a good life, he had no brute strength, if it wasn't for Xiao Jingchen's support, I was afraid that he would still be playing in the mud in the countryside now. So they agreed that they could control Lin Ruan by recognizing him back.
But now it seems that they really think of Lin Ruan too simply.
Gu Qian's heart tightened, and his face was distressed: "Silly child, don't think about it too much, what your mother left behind is yours." The house has been carefully preserved all these years, just to wait for you to come back and hand them over to you in their entirety. Now that you're back, they've finally waited for their master. This is a good thing, and it is a blessing for the Gu family. Don't cry, let's go home. ”
Lin Ruan wiped his eyes again before he wiped away his tears.
Gu Qian turned his head and arched his hand to the crowd: "Everyone, today my Gu family has found the long-lost flesh and blood, and this mansion is scheduled to hold a flowing water banquet in three days to celebrate the reunion of my Gu family, and thank God for his mercy." At that time, please come and drink a glass of sake. ”
The people who watched the excitement happily echoed.
There are not many opportunities to set up a water banquet in Kyoto, after all, this matter is too public, but the Gu family is really a happy event, and the Shen family is in front, so it is not too much.
The flowing water banquet of a big family is really real, who doesn't want to come and get wet? Anyway, don't eat for nothing.
After some tossing, Lin Ruan finally stepped into the door of the Gu family as a descendant of the Gu family.
Tong has been accompanying him.
The first thing he did when he entered the Gu family was naturally to meet the two people with the highest status in the Gu family. Old Uncle Gu and Old Lady Gu.
The old uncle has his own yard, and he has been bedridden for many years, and the yard seems to be gloomy.
Lin Ruan had been monitoring the Gu family with his abilities, so he had a general understanding of Old Uncle Gu's situation.
Because the Gu family has not made any merits for several generations, and the children and grandchildren of the two generations of the Gu family are becoming more and more unsuccessful, the emperor already plans to take back their family's title. As long as Old Uncle Gu swallows his breath, the Gu family's qi will be exhausted. Therefore, the Gu family has been trying their best to hang the life of the old uncle, in order to maintain the dignity of the Gu family.
The old uncle has been asleep, so there is nothing to see, Lin Ruan knelt in front of the bed and kowtowed three times, which can be regarded as a full courtesy. So he moved to Old Madam Gu's yard.
That's where the big deal goes.
Lin Ruan, under the leadership of the Gu family, arrived at Old Madam Gu's courtyard.
Old Madam Gu's body was not very good, but it was not so serious that she couldn't get out of bed. However, she didn't want to give Lin Ruan too much face, so she deliberately pretended that she couldn't get out of bed.
When Lin Ruan arrived in her house, the etiquette was very good, even if Old Madam Gu shouted no, she didn't stop.
In short, in terms of etiquette, she will not let people find the slightest mistake. And this old lady Gu is very hypocritical, shouting that she doesn't need to salute, but her maids and daughters-in-law are all standing firmly, and they don't mean to support her at all.
Lin Ruan sneered in her heart, what's the use of making things difficult for her in these little things?
She has always been able to bend and stretch, and at this time, this kind of thing is just a family etiquette, and she doesn't think there is any problem.
After Lin Ruan and his party finished the ceremony, Old Madam Gu stretched out her hand and said with a calm face: "My Ah Ruan, come over and let grandmother take a look." Our ancestors and grandchildren are really fateful, the last time I met you in the palace, I felt wrong at that time. You are so similar to your mother that I immediately guessed that you should be my own granddaughter, so I came back immediately without even attending the palace banquet. Come over and let Grandmother take a good look at you. ”
Lin Ruan also put on a similar expression, walked to the side of the bed and sat down.
Old Madam Gu took her hand and asked questions hypocritically, such as how she was doing in the Lin family and whether she was bullied.
Lin Ruan took into account the presence of the Tong family, so he didn't say much about the original owner. And as far as these people from the Gu family are concerned, it is estimated that the original owner is not having a good time, and saying it is just to make these happy.
So he said: "Although the life in the Lin family is poor, my father and mother are kind, and my younger brothers and sisters are also lovely. Later, my mother was gone, and although my life was a little sad, I was at ease. ”
Old Madam Gu knew a lot about Lin Ruan, and when she heard her say this, she was quite unimpressed, but she kept saying distressing things on her lips.
