Chapter 21: Arrangement
"The teacher has no children, and only one sister is still alive in the family."
The young man spoke slowly, and said slowly: "When the teacher passed away some time ago, he told me that if I could, I would go to see his sister for him more in the future. ”
"I only know that the teacher's sister married into the capital, but I don't know which family it is, so I have been trying to ask around after arriving in Beijing. The people you mentioned are the ones I met by chance when I went to the bookstore to return the books. ”
Because there was no money, after arriving in Beijing, He Ning immediately found a job in the bookstore to copy books.
Although it is not much, it can barely make ends meet.
"Your background ......"
"They say I'm the son of the late General Gu."
He Ning frowned lightly when he heard this, and said, "Previously, my mother only told me that my father was a military household with a name in the imperial court. ”
In other words, he doesn't know the details of the details.
"Is that ......" Gu Wushuang became more and more surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but think to himself for a moment again, before he spoke again, "Then what did they tell you?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I remember this kindness." He Ning understood what Gu Wushuang meant, and couldn't help but say directly.
Hearing this, Gu Wushuang paused again: "Then what do you think?" ”
"I ......"
He Ning subconsciously frowned when he heard this: "Let's find the teacher's sister first, and as for the future...... If I say I don't know, would you believe me? ”
"Faith." Gu Wushuang nodded.
The matter itself was full of bizarreness, if He Ning had a clear purpose or a careful plan, then Gu Wushuang might find it strange.
"The matter of the Gu family...... Have you ever heard? ”
After thinking about it for a moment, Gu Wushuang finally officially confessed, "Actually, I have heard of you before, but I have always disbelieved it in my selfish heart until I ...... You may not know that you may only have a three-point resemblance to my father, but your eyebrows and eyes are eight-point alike to my brother. ”
In fact, not only eight points, especially a certain angle of the side eye, is exactly the same.
"So nine times out of ten, what they say is true, you ...... It's really the blood of my Gu family. ”
"I ......"
Although he had already guessed in his heart, but now that he really heard this from the Gu family's mouth, He Ning was still unconsciously stunned.
"If you want, go to the Buddha Hall later to offer incense to your father."
In this way, it can be regarded as recognizing the ancestors and returning to the ancestors.
"I ...... Can I think about it first? He Ning hesitated.
Although in his selfish heart he also wanted to know what kind of person his father was that he had never seen, but at this moment, he was afraid.
"Well, ask Uncle Zhao to take you to rest." Gu Wushuang nodded and said, "Uncle Zhao is the housekeeper of the mansion and the old man of the mansion, if you have any needs, you can tell him directly." ”
After saying that, Gu Wushuang nodded directly at Steward Zhao, signaling that the future matters would be arranged by him.
Steward Zhao understood, nodded straight and led the young man out directly.
After the two left, Gu Wushuang sat down for a while again, and then got up again and went to the backyard.
In the backyard, Zhou was crooked on the couch, and when he raised his eyes to see Gu Wushuang coming in, he couldn't help but immediately raise his hand and signal her to step forward: "How is it?" ”
"Tell Uncle Zhao to arrange to live first." Gu Wushuang measured Zhou with some complications, and responded as gently as he could, "I told him to go to the Buddha Hall later to put incense on his father." ”
"As it should be." Zhou sighed secretly, although he knew that this was actually the most appropriate arrangement, but he still had a feeling of depression in his heart.
Gu Tingjiang never took a concubine until he died, and he didn't even have a connecting room in the room, but now an illegitimate child suddenly appeared, and this child was still the only blood he had left, not to mention the Zhou family, even Gu Wushuang found it difficult to accept.
But in this situation, they have no choice at all.
"Don't think about it, if you don't feel happy in your heart, just see him less in the future." Gu Wushuang tugged at the corners of his lips and chuckled, but Zhou couldn't help but deliberately tear away the conversation, and said, "Have you visited your sister during this time, how is she?" ”
"Not good, very bad."
Zhou suddenly sighed when he heard this, and the worry between his eyebrows instantly became more and more serious: "I was infected with a cold some time ago, although I have seen the doctor, but there has been no improvement. ”
Saying that, Zhou's eyes turned red unconsciously: "That place is cold and dark, and she is still pregnant......"
"I'll go back and ask a doctor to take a look." Gu Wushuang sighed secretly, and at the same time, she was also a little annoyed in her heart, she didn't even know about such a big thing as Gu Tingcheng's illness until now.
"Don't worry, I can't wait long."
The Queen Mother Qianqiu is half a month later, so at most wait for half a month, and Gu Qingcheng should be able to be pardoned.
"Hmm." Zhou nodded, then stood up strongly, and said to the maid behind him: "Go to the kitchen and get some snacks, and by the way, tell them to be eaten earlier." You don't come back often, so you'll stay in the house today, right? ”
The latter sentence was said to Gu Wushuang on the side.
Gu Wushuang nodded, followed by a conversation with Zhou's again, and then went directly back to the Shaohua Courtyard where he used to live after dinner.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, Steward Zhao sent someone to report that He Ning had already gone to incense.
"Since you have incense, you will inform the clan when you turn around, and change your surname."
At breakfast, Zhou didn't come out to eat, only caring about Wushuang and He Ning, so Gu Wushuang didn't have any extra scruples, and went straight to the topic.
"Change...... Surname? He Ning was stunned, and he didn't react to Gu Wushuang's meaning for a while.
"Well, since you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, this surname will naturally be changed back."
"What about the name? Do you want to change it too? He Ning hesitated, after all, it was a name given by his mother, and if it was to be changed at the same time......
"The name is not needed, it is also coincidental, the name of the eldest brother also has a crane character, but it is from the bird, taking its meaning of longevity." Gu Wushuang smiled, and as he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at He Ning again: "Maybe this is fate." ”
"Okay." He Ning thought for a moment, then nodded straight.
Seeing this, Gu Wushuang stared at him again for a while, and then continued: "From now on, you can stay in the mansion, mother's side...... Forget it, I can't ask you for anything, but ask for your heart. ”
"Yes." He Ning didn't know what to say, Zhaoli Zhou was also his mother, but in the end, he had only seen her once.
"I have already informed Uncle Zhao about the search for people, and he will help you arrange it." Gu Wushuang continued: "In addition, I heard Uncle Zhao say that you have a lot of books in your bag, so I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?" But do you want to enter the profession from the text? ”
Now the Gu family has lost its former glory, and it has no official title, so no matter what it is, it can only rely on He Ning himself.
He Ning naturally understood this truth, so he had already made a decision when he decided to return to the Gu family before: "I want to go to Songshan Academy to continue studying. ”
Although Songshan Academy is not in the city, it is indeed the best academy in Anjing City except for Guozijian.
And unlike Guozijian, Songshan Academy never asks about its origin, so it is also known as the best place for poor students.
"But it's past the exam time." Gu Wushuang frowned immediately when he heard this.
Matsuyama Academy only recruits students once a year in March, and they have to pass an exam before admission, so if they miss it, they will have to wait another year......
