"What? If I eat a few more pieces of snack, you have to teach me a lesson, Ahua, you are getting bolder and bolder, am I a young lady in the end? Or are you a young lady?" Gu Yutang turned his head and asked Ah Hua behind him.

"Gotta get it, miss, I'm afraid of you. As many snacks do you want to eat in the future, Ah Hua won't pull you anymore, let you eat, and when Miss's belly becomes round, don't come to Ah Hua and cry and say that I didn't persuade you at the beginning. After Ah Hua spread out the quilt on the couch, he opened the cage and put the pillow of camellia seeds commonly used by Gu Yutang on it.

This camellia seed pillow is Gu Yutang's habitual use, Gu Yutang can only lean on it so that he will not lose sleep, so every time he goes out, Ah Hua will help Gu Yutang bring this pillow.

Gu Yutang sat on the round stool and watched Ah Hua help her clean up the bedding, quietly opened the food box sent by Mama Liang just now, took out the plate of peanut candy in the food box, and handed it to Ah Hua.

"I know you like to eat this, every time you go out and encounter a stall selling peanut candy in the past, you will stop for a while, look at that peanut candy drooling, I don't like this sweet toothless thing, you take it all!" As he spoke, he forcibly stuffed a piece of peanut candy into Ah Hua's mouth, and if Ah Hua hadn't spit it out in time, he would have almost rolled to his throat and choked.

"Plug your mouth with this, and see what you say about me in the future?" Gu Yutang snorted, and ordered Ah Hua to turn off the lights.

Chengjiang Mansion, Stone Fish Alley, Gu Liming's second house.

In the study, Chen took advantage of Gu Lichi's failure to come back, and rummaged through the cabinets in the room, but turned the entire study upside down, and didn't see the calligraphy and paintings that Gu Lichi gave her.

Listening to the sound of the hourglass ticking in the study, Chen was worried that Gu Lichi might return early today, so he hurriedly called in the blue smoke that was guarding the door to bring in the wind, "Didn't you say that the calligraphy and paintings that the master gave me are hidden here?" Why have I been looking for so long, and I haven't even seen the shadow of calligraphy and painting, are you afraid of being punished and deliberately tricking me?"

"No, the slave didn't tell the wife, the slave saw with her own eyes that the master ordered someone to move a few big boxes in a few days ago, and then the master and Steward Song went in and out of it, as if they were carrying something." Biyan didn't dare to deceive the Chen family, so she had to tell everything she saw and heard that day.

It's just that she was a little far away that day, and she didn't see what was in the box for a while.

Chen listened to Biyan's words, and suddenly had a question in his heart.

Gu Lichi ordered someone to move a few big boxes in? Still going in and out with Steward Song? But this study is such a big place, where can I put a few big boxes, could it be that there is a secret room in this room?

But Gu Lichi didn't tell her that there was a secret room here? Could it be that Gu Lichi deliberately concealed her?

"Biyan, go and help me bring the oil lamp, I'll take a closer look at what's weird in this house?" Chen took the oil lamp handed by Biyan and turned along the corner of the study, but after a few turns, Chen found nothing.

Could it be that she was wrong, there may really be no secret room in this room.

At this time, suddenly a few dog barks came from outside, was Gu Lichi back?

She and Biyan hurriedly restored the furnishings in the house to their original state, and when they were about to step out of the door, she found that the floor tiles near the door were different from the floor tiles in the house.

The address near the door is darker, and the floor tiles in the house are lighter.

Could it be that someone pried the floor tiles open and put them back on again.

She turned Biyan away, letting Biyan continue to guard outside the house, and alerted her if someone came. Chen reluctantly uncovered a floor tile with all her strength, and when she uncovered the floor tiles, she found that there were golden gold bricks buried under the floor tiles, and there were quite a few of them.

What's going on?

Could it be that the big box that Gu Lichi ordered someone to move in that day contained these gold bricks?

Before she could think about it, she heard footsteps coming towards them, Chen quickly restored the pried floor tiles to their original state, went up and chopped a few feet, and after seeing that the floor tiles were tight, he hurriedly closed the door and came out.

As soon as the door was closed, they saw Gu Lichi walking towards them.

"Meiniang, don't you rest in the house, what are you doing in the study?" Gu Lichi pushed open the door, glanced inside the study, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so he closed it again.

"Master, a few days ago, the concubine saw that this study has been idle, who came to clean it, thinking that Brother Chang has also reached the age of enlightenment, the concubine will come to clean this study and give it to Brother Chang to read." Chen looked at Gu Lichi and said softly.

Gu Lichi looked at Chen, pulled her into his arms, looked at Chen's delicate face, and said with a light smile: "You, you, you're just too worried." How old is Brother Chang to study? My Gu clan's genealogy in Shiping is very good, comparable to those serious academies outside, I plan to send Brother Chang to Shiping in the future, and my fourth and fifth brothers are all Jinshi of the two lists, and they will personally teach Brother Chang, which is better than the masters of those academies outside."

"Is the master planning to let Brother Chang enter the official career?" Chen snuggled into Gu Lichi's arms and whispered into his ear.

"Chang'er is my child and yours, I naturally have to think about his future, and we have been in the house for so many years, and my second brother's brother has joined the office. Other than that, there has never been a single scholar. I want Chang'er to join the company for the sake of you and our Gu family. If you have a son like Chang'er, who is an official, no one will bully you in the future. ”

Gu Lichi leaned his head on Chen's head and hugged her more and more tightly.

"Where's the old lady? And Young? Have you figured out what to do, sir?" Chan asked again.

She has never been at ease about this matter, if Gu Lichi does not welcome her into the Gu family, then she can only be a disgraceful outer room for the rest of her life, and she will be looked down upon by others.

Although Brother Chang is her own child, there is also a Yang family in the mansion, I heard that the Yang family also has a brother, the Yang family can ignore Gu Lichi's feelings, and directly take Brother Chang into the mansion to raise, then Chang'er will become the brother of the Gu Mansion, and she will have nothing.

"I have my own way with the old lady and the Yang family, you have followed me for so long, and you have suffered enough grievances in the future, this time I will definitely not let you and Chang'er suffer the slightest grievance." As soon as the words fell, Gu Lichi picked up the Lin family and walked towards the house.

Punpu, the Tongyuan of the second room of the Gu family.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Lin received a letter from Gu Lichi, in which he had already named him to marry the Chen family into the mansion, and asked her to persuade the Yang family well, and to hand over the key and genealogy of the ancestral hall, he wanted to give the Chen family and Brother Chang a genealogy.

The Lin family was angry for a while, and tore up the letter written by Gu Lichi in his hand in an instant, threw it into the furnace and burned it, and then called Mama Liang, who was waiting outside, "Mama Liang, has the second family come back from Jinling?"

"Old lady, the second master has not come back from Jinling, the second wife's sister came back from the capital to visit relatives, happened to meet the second wife, a few days ago people handed the news back, they will not be able to return on the third day of the next month, and specially instructed the slave maid, these days to accompany the old lady in Punpu to have a good time." Mama Liang told the Lin family the words handed over by the second wife Liang a few days ago.
