Chapter 20: The Beginning of Suspicion
There must be a reason for everything.
In fact, it was very simple, the weather was getting warmer, and when the spring was cold, Meng Shan had a small wind chill and coughed for a few days. According to Tang Xiangxiang's judgment, Meng Shan had a slight tracheitis, so he boiled rock sugar white fungus lotus seed soup and asked Gu Yao to send it.
Gu Yao refused to do this kind of thing of brushing up his sense of existence by sending soup soup, and said: "I am now iron, not gold, no matter how much I paste, I don't have to provoke the face of the real master of the Meng family, and the gains outweigh the losses." Send it to Meng Xuan, and I'll send it. ”
Meng Xuan, the youngest son of Meng Shanyan, an eleventh and thirteen-year-old boy, has the style of Meng Shan, can be called both civil and military, and is the one who wants to recognize Gu Yao as his daughter on that day.
Baoding Hou Shizi is the elder brother of Meng Xuan's mother, Meng Xuan has the ability, and he is not bad for Gu Yao. Therefore, Gu Yao thinks that it is better to hug the little uncle's thighs and coax the top one. In addition, the "betrayal" of Gu Yao's two grandfathers made her rebellious against a creature like her grandfather.
Tang Xiangxiang didn't care if she was willing or not, he just threw the food box to her, pushed her out, and called Dongxue to give her such an order. Dongxue was Mrs. Meng's maid to Gu Yao, and after listening to Tang Xiangxiang's words, she carried a food box in one hand and a lamp in the other, and led Gu Yao to the front yard diligently.
When it was warm and cold, Meng Shan put a bowl of hot soup sent by his little granddaughter, and his whole body was comfortable. Because he had heard a few times that Gu Yao had entered the study and couldn't come out, he asked her with a smile: "What are you doing with those books?" ”
Gu Yao replied: "It's useful, please yourself." ”
Because of these words, Meng Shan passed on an order that night, telling people not to stop Gu Yao, she could read whatever books she wanted.
Tang Xiangxiang insisted that this was the credit of "sending soup". Gu Yao felt that this was an unintentional planting of willows and willows, and the intention of planting flowers would not bloom...... Tang Xiangxiang ignored her hypocritical appearance, and only said: "My father said that in the Meng family's big study, there are even medical books. You go tomorrow and see if there are any books on acupuncture. Traditional Chinese medicine, in fact, is quite interesting. ”
Only then did Gu Yao know that the Meng family's largest treasure house was the Outer Academy, which had a collection of more than 5,000 volumes. Qinghexuan is just the inner study prepared by Meng Shan for his children and grandchildren, and the books in it are carefully selected by Meng Shan. Yes, Baoding Houfu and Shandong Haifeng old mansions have Qinghexuan.
Meng Shan built Qinghexuan, and also set a family rule: only after reading Qinghexuan can you read miscellaneous books.
With Gu Yao's current reading speed, after reading for twenty years, he can almost finish reading Qing Hexuan's book. If you change to those boys, you have to spend half your life in it. What Meng Shan means, everyone knows in their hearts. Whether there is a gallant fat hiding forbidden books, Gu Yao does not know.
At dawn the next day, Gu Yao really went to the big study and pulled a book for Tang Xiangxiang, but he really found a book on acupuncture. However, Wan Zhou, who was guarding the study, said: "The rules of the big study room are that books are not borrowed." There are tables and chairs between the second corners, and Miss Haruka can go there to study. If you are tired and hungry, you can go to the wing room to rest and eat. ”
Gu Yao: ......
"Can I copy it?"
After receiving an affirmative answer, Gu Yao left again. Tang Xiangxiang asked about the title and content of the book, and expressed his interest. And the day of her departure has been set, Gu Yao hurriedly put up a pen and paper, went to the big study, and temporarily worked as a professional scribe.
The paper she brought was the thinnest of seven papers, and it was good to draw according to the book; The pen she holds is the thinnest eyebrow pencil to replace the fine pen. Gu Yao copied it for nine days in a row, and only after copying it, and after handing the book to Tang Xiangxiang, Gu Yao suddenly said: "This matter is actually not so urgent?" When you're gone, I'll copy it slowly, and ask someone to send you, okay? ”
Tang Xiangxiang held the hand of the medical book and froze.
How did you forget it?
Before it was too late, the Gu family sent someone to pick up Gu Yao's family. Before leaving, Gu Yao comforted Tang Xiangxiang: "Stay for three or five days at most, and I will come back." ”
On this day, the new master of Yulin Thousand Households, 30-year-old Lu Yuanting, arrived.
Master Gu looked at this new boss who was a round of himself, not to mention how aggrieved he was. When Lu Yuanting said that Meng Shanyi recognized Gu Yao as his granddaughter, and the Meng and Gu families were already good families, he was even more aggrieved. Bidding farewell to his new boss, Master Gu took his children to Fengcheng overnight, and arrived at the General's Mansion at sunset the next day.
When the eldest master entered the door, Gu Yao's ancestors and grandchildren were eating dumplings around the kang table.
Gu Yao and Zhang Quan dug up the tender shepherd's cabbage and wrapped the dumplings with shepherd's cabbage and wild boar. The spring flowers have not bloomed, and in the corner of the kang table, there are several wickers, and the grandparents and grandchildren sit on the willow left and right. On the small kang table, there are two large plates of crystal full dumplings, and the dumplings are fragrant, which makes the four members of Master Gu's family drool.
I work so hard, but others are so happy, Master Gu is directly furious: "Dad is getting more and more eccentric!" Why don't you ask Hou Ye to recognize his son as his granddaughter! Hou Ye's granddaughter, she will come to kiss in the future, and her family is also high! ”
The fragrant wild boar dumplings with shepherd's cabbage, the old man only ate about a dozen, and he asked people to interrupt, he was not happy, and then listened to his son's words, the chopsticks patted him, his eyes were sharp, and he asked Gu Yan word by word: "The Gu family is not enough, so you are wronged to be my son, and you are wronged by calling your daughter my granddaughter, but?" ”
The eldest master knew that he had lost his words and poked his father's sore spot, but Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak. In Gu Jin's impression, his grandfather doted on his father the most, and he was so angry that his father roared angrily, and he never changed his face. This time, the grandfather's voice was not too loud, but the whole person looked terrible.
Gu Jin was afraid, she didn't want such a grandfather.
Seeing Gu Yao sitting indifferently, Gu Jin instantly understood, and said angrily: "It's all you stinky girl, you're here, my grandfather doesn't want my father anymore!" ”
As he spoke, he rushed over and dragged people, but before he touched Gu Yao, his body was pulled by someone. Gu Yan pulled her, but she looked at the old man with a frightened face, and kept saying, "Sister, don't go, don't." ”
Seeing that his younger brother was scared like this, Gu Jin felt a pain in his heart, hugged him and cried bitterly, crying and comforting: "Brother Yan is not afraid, my sister is not going, my sister is not going." ”
How could Master Gu stand this, he stepped forward and surrounded a pair of children, without raising his head or turning his body, and said so straightforwardly: "Dad, don't worry, let's go." ”
At this moment, Old Man Gu clearly felt the alienation from his eldest son, and he even forgot to say what stopped Old Master Gu from leaving. Gu Yao saw it in his eyes, put down his chopsticks, and said to the old man: "Grandpa, I'm full." ”
Two plates of dumplings, less than half of which were used.
Old man Gu didn't sleep all night, and he didn't even go to the camp the next day, just talking to the old man.
The old man said straight to the point: "I admit that I have raised Yaoyao for a few years and developed feelings." It is said that raising a child is to raise a dog, and it also has feelings. I did it, but I was right. ”
"Listen to me first!" After stopping the eldest master from speaking, the old man said again: "That year, I told you first and asked you to give Jin'er to Yu Niang to raise." It's because you dislike that Yu Niang is just a person in Lao Tzu's house, and you don't agree, and you listen to the one in your house, and mention Yaoyao, so I asked you to pick up Yaoyao, but? ”
Outside the window, Gu Yao heard this, turned around, looked up, looked at Yu Niang and smiled, crossed her, and went straight to the courtyard.
