Chapter 18 Grow old and grow stronger
When Chu Shancheng returned to the Gu family's main residence in the capital, Gu Weijun, the old marquis of Gu, was on crutches and greeted him at the gate with a smile on his face.
Contrast the elated old marquis.
Chu Shancheng's two uncles were kneeling at the door of their own gates, the eldest uncle Gu Liuying and the second uncle Gu Liuhui.
It seems that the eldest uncle and the second uncle have done something to provoke Old Marquis Gu. This time, he didn't give them any face, and directly made them kneel under the plaque of their own house to let them reflect, the situation is strangely serious.
Chu Shancheng got off the horse and knelt directly under the knees of Old Marquis Gu, "Grandpa has worried you, it's all because your grandson is unfilial." ”
"Why did you come out in person when you weren't well, I should have gone to greet you."
Old Marquis Gu smiled when he saw Chu Shancheng, and his face was full of the old man's charity, "Your grandfather, I want to see you, I can't wait for a moment." "Hold Chu Shancheng's hand" Hurry up, hurry up, good grandson, let me take a good look at you!" ”
Chu Shancheng straightened up along the old man's house, looking at his grandfather's body, which was originally the same height as himself, because of the hunchback, he was already half a head higher than himself, and the hand touching the top of his hair trembled slightly.
Chu Shancheng was ashamed in his heart, he should have reported his safety to the old man when he was in Nanjing, which made the old man worried.
Seeing that the two uncles were still kneeling, he, a junior, was embarrassed not to talk, and touched his grandfather's hand, "Why did you let the two uncles kneel here, don't you feel ashamed of the lintel of the Gu family that you earned?" Chu Shancheng teased his grandfather in a low voice.
Gu Weijun raised his crutches and pointed at Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui tremblingly. "How can you two uncles be uncles?! His nephew was relegated to Nanjing to be a servant for others, and he didn't even dare to fart in the court. ”
"I can't give birth to such ungrateful bastards, and I don't know how their sister took care of them when they were young!"
Chu Shancheng hurriedly smiled and touched the old man's chest, wanting Gu Weijun to dissipate his anger. "The main thing is that Chu Shimao has gone too far this time, and my two uncles are not easy to speak, besides, aren't I coming back safely?"
"I'm even angrier when I talk about this!" Gu Weijun took a cane and hit the ground a few times.
"Chu Shimao, that bastard is in prison, why is he taking my good grandson?" "Who doesn't know that you Chu Shancheng has nothing to do with him and the Chu family except for Chu sex!"
"You have been raised by me Gu Weijun since you were a child, and now you have to be associated with him."
"I really can't wait to go to Dali Temple and skin this bastard Chu Shimao!"
"So, grandpa, let the uncles get up, they have nothing to do with this matter."
Gu Weijun snorted in a nasal voice as he looked at them, and he listened to Chu Shancheng's words.
Still with an iron face, he turned to Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui and said, "Get up!" I didn't hear your good nephews plead for you. ”
Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui, two men who had grown beards and were five big and three thick, got up from the cold ground and patted the dust on the armor on their knees with their hands.
Gu Liuying and Gu Liuhui actually like their nephews quite a lot, after all, when they were young, their father disciplined them strictly, and it was Gu Liuliu who saved the lives of their two younger brothers from under Gu Weijun's stick and horsewhip, so that they could grow up healthy until now.
Even if they live to middle age, they have to rely on their sister's only bloodline, and their nephew's speech is good in front of their father.
Otherwise, you will be trained to be disgraced like a child.
It's just that sometimes I have to admit that the old marquis is indeed a little too doting on Chu Shancheng. Who in this capital city doesn't know, if he offends Chu Shancheng, it is equivalent to facing the entire Gu family.
Gu Weijun kept holding Chu Shancheng's hand and refused to let go, and led him all the way to his inner house, and sat down on the main seat, so that he could let go of Chu Shancheng and let him go up to the couch and sit beside him.
Tsai looked at him carefully.
Although he knew that his grandson had been beaten in Nanjing, looking at the five finger prints on his face, he still couldn't help but feel distressed, and kept "tsk, tsk".
Otherwise, with Chu Shancheng alone, he would not be able to make the eldest son of a criminal squire killed by an assassin, and he would not be held accountable. It's not all Gu Weijun who pressed him down through the hand of Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
If he still wants to sit down in this official position, he must have never given birth to a son like Gu Shiheng.
A cold look was thrown to Chu Shancheng's two uncles, "If you hadn't stopped me from giving the emperor a fold, my good grandson would not have been humiliated like this." ”
"Look at what my good grandson's handsome face has become."
Even Chu Shancheng couldn't listen to it anymore. He was just slapped twice, Gu Shiheng lost his life, not to mention, and now he may not even be able to keep his official position.
It's already very relieving. My grandfather really hurts himself too much, as if he has been greatly wronged.
Chu Shancheng hurriedly found an excuse for his uncle, "I'm in Nanjing, and my uncles usually have to lead troops to fight, so where will they know what happened to me." Besides, Gu Shiheng is dead, grandpa, let's turn the page on this matter. “
Although Chu Shancheng said this, the old man was still distressed. Hitting people doesn't slap them in the face, especially the children of powerful people like them, it's better to take a stab in the face.
Turning around, he took out a small box of gold sore medicine from the drawer, "When I was a child, I beat your uncle, and they applied this medicine so quickly, you can also apply it." ”
Gu Liuying whispered, "Dad, why did you talk about the beating we were beaten when we were young." ”
The old man snorted, "Don't talk about when you were a child, now you have to eat my fists and feet if you are disobedient, don't think that being a general is anything great, you are still my son, and my son was beaten by Lao Tzu, which is justified." ”
Gu Liuhui also whispered, "These are the few sentences from childhood to adulthood. ”
Gu Weijun smashed a cane on Gu Liuhui's back, "Silence!" ”
Gu Huiliu's body bent like a shrimp all of a sudden, and as soon as he shouted in his throat, he didn't dare to shout, so he left a mouth.
Chu Shancheng saw Gu Weijun's crutches swinging over, stunned that no old man was quick-eyed, but he still hit his uncle's back, his face was very ashamed, and he smiled embarrassedly at Gu Huiliu.
Gu Huiliu didn't blame him, one hand touched the swollen red marks on his back back and forth, and waved his hand at him with the other, meaning that it was not your fault.
Chu Shancheng hurriedly complimented his grandfather, "Grandpa is really good, worthy of being the Marquis of Shangwu of the Liang Dynasty, those big swords were fast and ruthless back then, and no one was able to beat them." ”
"You are still old and strong, and your grandson can't stop him if he wants to."
Grandpa laughed, "It's still my good grandson who is sensible and obedient, and likes to say something that old people love to hear." ”
