Old Madam Gu guessed something in her heart, she didn't say it, but Mama Dong beside her understood.

Mama Dong was also shocked, this speculation is too much, more than three years have passed, if the second lady really comes back, then....

Gu Yuan, who was still in the yamen that day, heard a message from the house, saying that the old lady had something to look for him.

Gu Yuan had a guess in his heart, and after the day was lowered, he returned to the mansion and went directly to the courtyard of the old lady.

Old Madam Gu looked at her son, and hesitated and hesitated when the words came to her mouth, "Erlang, I heard that the people of the Kong family are back?" ”

There are still a few days before the Gu Mansion will hold a birthday banquet, and the Mansion is also very busy now, it is already evening at this time, and there are still people decorating the courtyard.

Gu Yuan slowly put down the tea in his hand, "I'm back." ”

"Jiro." Old Madam Gu didn't ask.

"Mother, do you want to invite your mother-in-law over?" Gu Yuan diverted the topic.

Old Madam Gu looked at her son, knowing that what she was going to ask was not this, but looking at her son's appearance, it was not like Yuan Niang really came back, if he came back, how could this child still be calm.

"The person is back, Brother Zhan is your eldest son again, how can you not send a post over." Old Madam Gu didn't want to mention anything that made her son uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll have someone send a letter to the Confucian Mansion." Gu Yuan dared to respond, but he knew that his mother-in-law would not come.

Old Madam Gu had her own thoughts, "Let Brother Zhan go and deliver a letter to the Confucian Mansion, you don't have to go." ”

After thinking about it, "If you marry again, how can the Kong family have no opinion, if you send someone to send a post over, your mother-in-law will not come." ”

"Brother Zhan goes, and he won't come." Gu Yuan smiled, "There will be people coming from the Nanyang Palace, but the Kong family will not come, if my mother wants to see my mother-in-law, I will send a letter and ask her to come to the mansion to accompany my mother." ”

"Forget it, don't embarrass them." Old Madam Gu waved her hand, "When you are old, you always do foolish things, now that you are married to the county lord of Nanyang, then live a good life." ”

Gu Yuan didn't respond.

Old Madam Gu had no choice, "Do you really plan to live like this?" Even if you don't like it, why marry home, and now that you're married, you're cold. ”

"Mother, I still have something to do outside." Gu Yuan got up, "It's your birthday in a few days, and the Shu family will come, so you should also think about how to explain to the Shu family." ”

Old Madam Gu was silent.

Finally, he waved his hand angrily, "You go quickly, save yourself from being angry with me here." ”

But I was really worried about Tingzhi's side, the husband and wife had been sleeping separately, maybe they were learning from Erlang's side, but she couldn't control Erlang, and she didn't have the confidence to persuade Tingzhi.

"Old lady, the county lord is here." Mama Dong reminded in a whisper on the side.

Old Madam Gu cheered up at this time, and the county lord of Nanyang walked in with a smile, "I heard that the second master is back, and it just so happens that I have a list of people to be invited to the banquet here, so I will discuss it with the second master." ”

"Erlang has something to do, so I'll leave the house first." Old Madam Gu complained in her heart that her son didn't know how to hide things, and asked her, an old woman, to help him lie, "Now that our Gu family has won the trust of the saint, the more this is the case, the more calm it is to do things. ”

"Look at what my mother said, such a good thing, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it." The county lord of Nanyang said with a smile, "But my mother is worried about it, so I'll wait for the second master to come back, and then let him see the list." ”

The county lord of Nanyang didn't sit for long before he was called away, and Old Madam Gu sighed deeply, "This is chasing Erlang." ”

How can Mama Dong persuade.

The second master almost doesn't go back to the house, and when he returns to the house, he stays in Zhushengju, and he doesn't go to the county lord's yard, the county lord has been putting down his body and taking the initiative to step forward in the past two years, but the second master is still cold.

So this feeling is the most incomprehensible thing in the world.

On the side of the Confucian Mansion, Kong Cheng heard that his mother was back, so he asked for leave and took Brother Zhan back to the Confucian Mansion, and there was a birthday banquet in the Gu Mansion, and Kong Cheng asked Brother Zhan for half a month's leave in a row.

As soon as Brother Zhan came to the mansion, Brother Heng immediately ran over and squeezed to Xie Yuanniang's side, glaring at Brother Zhan with his eyes, looking like this is my mother.

Brother Zhan sat there quietly, without moving his eyelids.

Brother Heng's eyes widened, "Hey, don't you have a home?" What are you doing here? ”

"Brother Heng." Xie Yuanniang scolded in a low voice.

Brother Heng's chin was raised, "What I said is not wrong, why did he come to my house." ”

"This is your brother." Xie Yuanniang corrected, "If you treat my brother like this again, my mother will be angry." ”

Brother Heng's mouth.

Kong Cheng smiled and took out the slingshot in his hand, "Brother Heng, do you like this?" ”

Brother Heng's eyes immediately lit up.

Xie Yuanniang and Xiao Shushi couldn't understand it on the side.

Kong Cheng explained with a smile, "Last time Brother Zhan brought one, Brother Heng said he liked it, and on the way back this time, Brother Zhan bought a new one for Brother Heng, and he said that it was old and not good for his younger brother." ”

Brother Zhan kept his head down, still looking like a little adult, but his ears were visibly red.

Brother Heng has been shrewd since he was a child, he understands it, and likes slingshots, but when he thought that this was bought for him by his brother who was just about to drive away, his face turned red, and he stood there without speaking.

Kong Cheng raised the slingshot forward, "Don't you want it?" ”

Brother Heng twisted his head.

A few adults were silent.

Brother Zhan, who had been quiet, suddenly moved, he got up and walked to the fourth uncle, and took the slingshot over, Brother Heng was anxious, and he couldn't let go of his face when he wanted to step forward, biting his lip and sulking there, but in the next second, there was suddenly something more in his hand.

He looked at the slingshot in his hand and looked at Brother Zhan in front of him with his mouth open.

Brother Zhan didn't dare to look at his younger brother, and turned his head, "Give it to you." ”

Brother Heng looked down at the slingshot in his hand again, raised his head again, and lowered his voice, "Thank you, brother." ”

Brother Zhan looked at Brother Heng in disbelief, obviously shocked.

When the three adults saw this scene, their eyes were red.

Xie Yuanniang twisted her head and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Xiao Shushi got up and hugged the two children into his arms, "Good boy, you are all good children, in this world, there is no one closer than you, you will have to take care of each other in the future, understand?" ”

The two children nodded, Brother Heng accepted his brother, and immediately changed from a jealous villain to a clingy villain, following Brother Zhan without leaving for a moment, like a little tail.

Brother Zhan also likes the closeness of his younger brother, and he can always see the two brothers accompanying him in the Confucian Mansion.

In the evening, when I was about to eat, the porter said that Baifu had someone send a post.

Xiao Shushi put down his chopsticks, "It's Sister Yan." ”

Xie Yuanniang looked at her mother with a wrong look, "What's wrong with Sister Yan?" ”

It stands to reason that I haven't seen her for a few years, and my mother should be happy to hear her sister send a post, how can she have a look of displeasure? Could it be that she was wrong?
