Chapter 274: Homecoming

The sky lit up slightly, and he knocked on Gu Wanniang's door in shock, "Girl, the old ancestor came to pass the word, please go to the front hall and wait." ”

"I didn't know it so early yesterday." Gu Wanniang came back from the palace last night, slept late, and looked at the sting at the door in a daze, and came in with water.

Basai knew that Gu Wanniang didn't get up, so he explained outside the house: "When the third girl came back late last night, the ancestor didn't let me disturb the girl's rest, so I came here today to inform the girl." ”

"What do you want to tell me?" Gu Wanniang cleaned her hands and dried them on a towel.

Basai: "Last night, the palace passed the decree, and at noon today, the emperor will issue a holy decree of amnesty to the world, so early this morning, the palace will send the prince and his wife back to the mansion." ”

Gu Wanniang put on her coat and stayed for a while, the weather was cool quickly, and now there was a white mist when she exhaled.

"The girl needs to wear more clothes, today is much colder than yesterday, and I saw that the grass outside the house has formed early frost." ”

Amnesty for the world? With the support of the king of Lingnan, he raised troops and returned Lingnan to the central court and set up a county, which will inevitably cause criticism, saying that Xie Yuan, the emperor, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey. But if the holy decree of amnesty is put on top again, who will have the strength to control Lingnan, which is far away from the emperor of the sky, whether it will be set up as a county or owned by a family?

"I'll get up and pick up my aunt and uncle." After this experience, Gu Shizi is no longer the prince of Nanyang Hou Mansion, but just an idle uncle of Gu Mansion who has no official position.

The middle feed in the house was originally in the hands of Gu Lao Ancestor, but today Gu Wanniang pushed the door and saw Basai holding a seal, "Sister Basai, what does this mean?" ”

"Where's the ancestor?"

Basai: "The ancestor is in the Buddha Hall, I think the uncle and the eldest lady must use the private treasury in the house to make a point when they return home, so this will give the chapter and key of the private treasury to the third girl, and ask the third girl to buy it for the uncle and the eldest lady." ”

Leave these things to yourself?

Ba Sai bowed his head in front of Gu Wanniang, and his lowered eyebrows couldn't see his emotions.

Old Ancestor Gu didn't even go to Gu Shizi's business? Gu Wanniang did not refuse, and took the key and private seal of the private vault handed by Basai, "Sister Basai has chosen something to deal with the people in the palace?" ”

"No, everything is still waiting for Miss Gu San."

"Then I'll go to the private warehouse first."

By the time Gu Wanniang prepared the silver taels and went to the front hall, Gu Jing and Gu Wu were already waiting. In addition, there are also Gu Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou who Gu Wanniang have never seen since she returned home.

Gu Wanniang met with Hou Ye, "Wanniang has seen grandparents and grandfathers. ”

Master Hou responded to Gu Wanniang's salute, and Mrs. Hou coughed, her clothes were wrapped in a pale face, her hair was gray, and her figure was even more emaciated. Mrs. Hou was shocked when Gu Wanniang came, but she didn't expect that Gu Ancestor would hand over the power of housekeeping to Gu Wanniang, a girl who was about to get married.

"I've seen the second sister." Gu Wu was originally a little girl, but after the prince had an accident, she was sent to the old man's house by Gu Lao Zu, and now she has been picked up again. It was the city that I entered overnight last night, and I haven't rested well today, and I'm a little bruised and swollen now.

The little girl has long since lost her former publicity, and she is still a little afraid of Gu Wanniang when she hides behind Gu Jing. went out to be afraid of Gu Wanniang, Gu Wu has been dodging since he saw Mrs. Hou, not at all like the young granddaughter who was loved by Mrs. Hou at the beginning, obviously the grandson and granddaughter who were loved the most in the past, why did Gu Houfu and his wife treat Gu Jing and Gu Wu so coldly?

Mrs. Hou coughed, and was handed a cup of tea by Gu Houye, which eased her heart and lungs. But every cough that Mrs. Hou still implicated her heart and lungs, and the whole person trembled.

Hou Ye: "Don't wait here if you are unwell, rest in the house, you can't see the wind and cold." ”

"Master Hou, I want to wait a little longer." Mrs. Hou has suffered from a serious illness since the accident in the Hou Mansion, and the situation is getting worse day by day, and she can't see the light at all.

Hou Ye didn't want to see Uncle Gu at all, because Mrs. Hou forcibly wanted to wait, so she accompanied her, "What is the use of waiting for such a person who has no good heart in his heart?" ”

"That's my eldest son with Master Hou." No matter what Gu Shizi did to Hou Ye and Mrs. Hou in order to seize the power of the Gu family, Mrs. Hou still regarded Gu Shizi as her son, but Gu Hou Ye didn't think so, such a wolf was not his son.

As soon as Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she coughed so much that she leaned on the table and almost fainted, seeing such discomfort, Master Hou had no time to wait for the return of the Gu family, but took Mrs. Hou away.

"Where is our eldest son, it is you and my talisman."

Gu Jing stretched out his hand to help Hou Ye take over and send Mrs. Hou back to the house, but was opened by the old Hou Ye, "You are waiting for your father here." ”

The departure of Master Hou and Mrs. Hou made Gu Wanniang only feel strange, although it was reported that Mrs. Hou was sick so she had never seen anyone treat things, but Gu Wanniang was puzzled, why was Mrs. Hou still in good health a year ago, and now it is like this?

and Gu Wu, who was sent to the eldest brother of the Gu family.

Gu Jing didn't look at his young sister, "When your father and mother return home, you can get up and go to the south." ”

"Second brother." Gu Wu bit his lower lip, "I don't want to live with my eldest brother and sister-in-law." ”

The Gu family does have an eldest son, the son of the illegitimate son of the old marquis of the Gu family, who has never been raised in the Gu Mansion, his mother is the daughter of a squire, and the illegitimate father's father is a doctor in the medical hall, and the Gu family uncle who is ranked in the Gu Mansion genealogy is just a small county order.

Gu Wu never really took care of her own life, until she was sent to the side of her eldest brother and sister-in-law, everything had to be taken care of by herself, and there was no maid or maid, she had to wash herself and fold the quilt by herself.

"Don't forget how your grandmother got sick, and your ancestors never allowed you to return home." Gu Jing stiffened his voice, and rashly picked up Gu Wu last night, which had already caused the old ancestor to be disappointed in him.

When Gu Wu talked about the past, his pale little face shook and he stopped talking.

Gu Wanniang took in the things in front of her, the sky was getting brighter, and sure enough, two officers and soldiers appeared with two men and women in coarse cloth clothes. Gu Wu saw the pair of parents who were haggard in front of him, and they were even not as well dressed as the wild brother who didn't know where he came from, no, this was not her parents.

How could her well-dressed parents be like this?

Gu Wu didn't want to recognize Uncle Gu and his wife, and shrank back as Uncle Gu approached, his eyes were full of tears, and by the time Uncle Gu really arrived in front of him, Gu Wu had already fled.
