Chapter 126: Facing the Fifth Grandfather's Questioning
The others weren't as excited as he was, but their faces weren't a little good-looking.
"Could there be some misunderstanding about this? I see that Gu Shan Niangzi is also a Xiucai daughter, she knows books and etiquette, I have met a few times before, and it doesn't look like a person with such thoughts. Eighth Uncle frowned.
"I remembered when you said that, I heard that Yang Xiucai used to have a slight property, and the family invited two or three maids and an old mother to serve, but after his death, the family property was invaded by the clansmen and drove Gu Shan's lady out, presumably this Gu Shan's wife was still thinking about the days before she got married, and she mentioned her daughter a lot, which caused Gu Changning to have such a heart of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix at a young age, which is really annoying!" When the fifth uncle heard this, he immediately replied.
After hearing this, several elders were talking nonsense, and the more they talked, the more annoyed they became, and they all looked at Gu Yuandao.
"Brother Yuan, now that you are the patriarch, you can come up with an idea about this matter."
"Yes, patriarch, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen again!"
"That's right! Who in our family doesn't have a girl? Regardless of whether they are married or about to get married, when such a thing spreads, how else can they behave? ”
The uncles kept talking in his ears, Gu Yuan thought for a while, and couldn't bear so many elders staring at him, so he had to compromise and say: "Since that's the case, I'll call that little girl to the ancestral hall to ask and see what is going on." ”
When the elders heard this, although their faces were still dark, they didn't say anything, waiting for Gu Yuan to call someone over.
It was Gu Feiyu who was in charge of running errands.
He saw that the faces of the uncles and grandfathers in the ancestral hall were not very good, and when he heard that Daddy asked him to call Gu Changning over, his tone was not very kind, and he had a premonition in his heart, and when he went to call Gu Changning, he couldn't help but secretly pass a message to her.
"Changning, be careful yourself, I see that the expressions of several grandfathers are not very good, you pay attention when you speak."
"Don't look very good? Why? Gu Changning looked confused, "I didn't do anything." ”
Could it be about Gu Dayong and Gu Haisheng being stung by a wasp?
But it's not right, if they knew that it was their own hands, the step-grandmother and the second aunt would have come to her to settle the score, how could it be Feiyu's cousin who came to call her now.
"I don't know exactly what happened, I only know that your grandmother came to our house at noon, and in the afternoon my grandfather was in a hurry to invite a few grandfathers to the ancestral hall." Gu Feiyu said.
Step-grandma? Gao's?
That's certainly not a good thing!
"That's it, I know, thank you Brother Feiyu." Gu Changning smiled at him, then went to say something to A-Niang, and walked behind him.
"The patriarch has something to find Ning Ning? What's the matter? Yang Huiyun looked at her departing back, and somehow suddenly felt a sense of unease in her heart, her heart beat suddenly, and she stood in the courtyard and looked at the already empty gate.
"Auntie, why are you standing in the yard in a daze?" Gu Huai'an happened to come back at this time.
Because Class A is now taught only by He Fuzi, the number of hours of daily classes has been reduced, so he came back early.
As soon as he came back at this time, he saw A-Niang standing alone in the courtyard, with a look of distraction, as if he was thinking about something, and he asked with some concern.
"An'er, you're back." Yang Huiyun came back to her senses, saw her son, wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "The patriarch sent someone to call Ning Ning away, saying that there was something to ask her about clearly, so he took her to the ancestral hall. ”
"The patriarch sent someone to call Ning Ning away? What's up? Gu Huai'an was also very surprised.
"I don't know, it's you Brother Feiyu who came to call someone, and he doesn't know why."
Hearing this, Gu Huai'an also wrinkled his eyebrows, with a solemn expression: "A-Niang, I'll also go to the ancestral hall to have a look." ”
"It's okay, you go and see what's going on, if something really happens, you look at Ning Ning, don't let her quarrel with the elders." Yang Huiyun admonished.
She knew that her daughter was stubborn and young, and she was afraid that she would be emotionally up, and she would impulsively bump into several elders, and the problem would be big.
"Don't worry, my sister is not that kind of person." Gu Huai'an smiled at her, relieved her heart, and then took the bookbag back to the house and put it away, and immediately rushed to the ancestral hall.
After Gu Changning left the house, she followed Gu Feiyu all the way, and when she arrived at the ancestral hall, she found that Gu Feiyu's "grandfather's expressions are not very good" was already very subtle.
It's not just bad, it's almost dark.
She lowered her head and stood in front of everyone with a well-behaved appearance, looking quite demure, so that the faces of several of the grandfathers were slightly better after seeing them.
This kid doesn't look like the kind of person who is so ambitious.
"Gu Changning, do you know it's wrong?" After the people arrived, before the patriarch Gu Yuan could speak, and without waiting for Gu Feiyu to retreat, the fifth grandfather couldn't wait to ask about the crime.
Gu Changning was stunned for a moment, and said with a confused expression: "What does Grandfather mean?" ”
But he said in his heart, could it be that they really already knew that they did that thing?
But no, their house is near the foot of the mountain, where the villagers' houses are scattered and there are several large trees planted along the road for cover.
Moreover, after dinner, which she specially picked for the time of committing the crime, the villagers at this time were either at home or chatting at the entrance of the village, and very few people stood in the middle of the road.
She also deliberately looked around before making sure that no one was there before she started to act.
No one should find out......
Gu Changning had a puzzled look on the surface, but he had already pondered it in his heart.
"Hmph, today someone went to the patriarch's house and said that we only knew that at a young age, you actually dreamed of being a wealthy family, and wanted to marry a rich family to be a young grandmother, so you showed up all day long, and attracted the attention of the flower child, and you will be arrested! Isn't it?! ”
The voice of the last sentence suddenly raised its tone, and it shook violently in the quiet ancestral hall, and the other grandfathers who were frightened looked at him one after another, and their hearts beat faster.
"Fifth brother, if you have something to say, you can say it well, why are you so scary!" The eighth grandfather stroked his chest and said with a frown.
The rest of the group nodded in agreement.
"I'm not so scared of her, how can this girl know how to be afraid, how can she tell the truth!" The fifth grandfather glanced at him angrily and snorted coldly.
Gu Changning listened to the dispute between the two grandfathers, blinked, and his face was still dazed.
She really didn't know what the two grandfathers were talking about!
What is the dream of a high family, what is marrying into a rich family to be a young grandmother, what does this have to do with her?
Patriarch Gu Yuan saw that Gu Changning looked like he couldn't figure out what was going on, and he was very innocent.
He paused, and spoke before the fifth uncle had a seizure: "That's the case, Changning, someone said before that it was not an accident that you were caught by Paihuazi this time, but because you have been thinking about marrying into a wealthy family and making friends everywhere, which attracted Paaihuazi's attention, and then arrested you." ”
Gu Feiyu has been trying to shrink next to the pillar since he came in, and when he saw that his father had forgotten his existence, he lowered his sense of existence and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
After hearing his father's detailed explanation at this time, his mouth closed in surprise, his eyes stared at the situation in front of him without blinking, and he was speechless in his heart.
This is too nonsense, Changning is just an eight-year-old child, how can he think so much?
When Gu Changning heard the patriarch's explanation, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he immediately understood what reason the Gao family had taken to sue her, and he was speechless in his heart.
What a reason to dare to move on her!
"Uncle Patriarch, what do you mean by a high-ranking family?" Gu Changning rolled his eyes at Gao in his heart, but his face was furrowed, pretending to look at him innocently, making himself look more innocent.
Gu Yuan was stunned, subconsciously looked at several uncles, and saw that they were also looking at each other, so he coughed and explained: "Yes, it is a family with a relatively solid background." ”
"Is it someone like the Meng family?"
Gu Yuan was stunned: "Which Meng family ......?"
"Meng Yaqin's family."
Gu Yuan remembered who it was, and hesitated: "This ...... I guess it'......."
Meng Yaqin's father is also a bookkeeper in his opinion, although he gets more wages every month, he is still far from the real high-ranking family.
One meal eaten by a wealthy family is enough for Meng Yaqin's father's salary for a month.
But this was obviously not suitable to explain to Gu Changning, so he reluctantly agreed.
"But there aren't many people in our village who are similar to Meng Yaqin's family." Gu Changning said with an innocent face.
Because Uncle He lived in Xinghua Village before, some people speculated whether she was too diligent in the village and was targeted by Uncle He, so she was arrested.
Gu Changning also thought of this, so he deliberately said this.
There are only a few big families in Xinghua Village, and Meng Yaqin is one of them.
However, Meng Yaqin's two elder brothers are already engaged, especially her eldest brother, I heard that the bride will be launched in March next year, so the Meng family has no suitable candidates.
And the rest of the families, almost all of them have their own circumstances, and Gu Changning can't get married.
If you have to say it, in addition to the above-mentioned families, only a few of the Gu family are relatively rich.
However, Gu Changning himself is a member of the Gu clan, and it is impossible for him to have the idea of marrying into the Gu family.
Therefore, the families in Xinghua Village don't have to count on it.
"That'...... What about the outside? Gu Yuan asked.
"Outside? Which outside? Gu Changning continued to be puzzled.
"For example, those towns, counties, and neighboring villages, who have you befriended?" Gu Yuan asked again.
"There's no one anymore, I have so many things to do every day, how can I have time to go to the town and county to make friends."
Gu Yuan was also right when he heard it, and he was a little silent.
"Brother Yuan, why don't you continue to ask?" The rest of the grandfathers all frowned when they saw this, and the fifth grandfather asked directly.
