Chapter 39: Father-Daughter Reunion

Hanxiang's heart moved, and her body didn't move.

For a girl, it is completely unknown how capable a girl who has just returned home and what she can do. The girl is only sure of one thing, no matter how powerful the girl is, she is no more powerful than her father. Her father can't produce evidence, so what can the girl do?

Gu Yao's mind, Han Xiang received it, but she-

"Back to the girl, the slave's mother, she had a miscarriage."

Gu's mother is the sister of Gu Zhixian's nursing brother, who was forty years ago. Such an advanced maternal age, just in the next generation, it is also very thrilling! Gu Yao nodded heavily, didn't ask about Gu's mother again, went straight to the point, and asked some superficial family matters, even if Han Xiang didn't answer, Zhang Sheng could ask this kind of thing.

After talking to Hanxiang, there was a word from the alley of Huaihua Temple, the old man and Meng Xuan had gone to the temporary residence provided by King Zhao, and the family of Gu Zhixian could have dinner at their own convenience. Gu Yao asked casually: "Where is King Zhao's Mansion?" ”

The mother-in-law looked at the girl who had just arrived home and was not cramped at all, and said in her heart, what is this for, can you know when I said it? After thinking about it, the mother-in-law said very carefully and seriously: "In the Iron Lion Hutong in the southern section of Andingmen Street." ”

"It's closer to the Daxing County Bureau, two or three times farther than to us."

"Yes. Zhao Wangfu is more than two miles away from Daxing County Office and six miles away from Wanping County Office. Speaking of this, the mother-in-law looked surprised and asked Gu Yao, "How does the girl know this?" Except for the old woman who beats the old man who lives in the city, the girls and daughters-in-law don't know the alley of Shuntianfu City! ”

"I've seen the map."

Gu Yao explained reservedly, and added in his heart, If it weren't for the change of appearance, I would be more familiar here than you.

Just by looking at the map, you know everything, the mother-in-law has changed, and she is only a wonderful girl who is back, and she is ready to reply respectfully, but she sees Gu Yao waving her hand and telling her to retreat.

The mother-in-law thought that she was annoyed, so she had to explain a few words, but she was afraid that Gu Yao didn't mean that, so she hesitated again and again, and retired according to Gu Yao's instructions.

After dinner was prepared, Gu Yao went to the main room, and when he saw that there was only one Gu Zhixian, he said, "Daddy, won't Aunt Qin eat with us?" ”

We......

Gu Zhixian coughed and said, "You are not familiar with her, I am afraid that you will not feel comfortable, so my father didn't call her." This meal was eaten together by only our father and daughter. ”

deliberately added the word "we", but Gu Yao didn't know it, he opened his mouth happily, and still said: "It's just the two of us, it's good!" ”

Gu Zhixian had to prompt directly: "Yaoyao, back to Wanping, Fengcheng's accent and words must be changed." ”

Gu Yao blinked and asked cautiously, "If you want to talk about us, not us?" ”

Gu Zhixian bowed.

Gu Yao snorted and sat down, settling old accounts: "It's not a father yet!" Send me away before you figure it out! Daughter, this is already good. Dad didn't know, Brother Hui of the Meng family's room had only been there for three or four years, and no one could speak Baoding dialect and Shandong dialect. Grandpa Meng had no choice, so he was assigned a maid boy who spoke all official dialects and asked him to speak official dialect. ”

As he spoke, the meal was ready.

Four cold, four hot and two soup meals, the dishes are meat and vegetarian matching, the portion is not much, and the color looks good. At the urging of Gu Zhixian, Gu Yao took a few bites of each and frowned.

"But not to your liking?" Gu Zhixian asked with concern.

Gu Yao nodded.

It's strange that the color is beautiful, it's greasy like this, I don't know how much oil is put in. Thinking of Gu Zhixian's bulging belly, Gu Yao said seriously: "It's not good to eat too much oil." Huaihua Temple Hutong is away from the cook, and it is okay. ”

Gu Zhixian's hand holding the chopsticks shook.

The cook in charge of the private house is a county magistrate who is familiar with his father's temperament, and a mother-in-law who was temporarily selected from Zhuangzi. He is very good at cooking, and he is the most calculating. It doesn't take more than 50 yuan for a meal to make four dishes and one soup with meat dishes. The girl praised her, it seems that her father has a great influence.

He only thought about it for a moment, and then listened to Gu Yao say: "Besides, if you put so much oil, it will take ten dollars for a meal, and it will be a waste." ”

Guzhi County: ......

Afraid that his daughter would say more frugal words, Gu Zhixian hurriedly said: "There are nine people inside and outside the family, and my father will give you ten taels of silver a month for household use, if it is not enough, tell my father again, you don't have to be so frugal." ”

"Then what if it's left, will it go to my daughter?"

Originally, it could be returned, but Gu Zhixian was afraid that she would be blindly thrifty like an old man, so he hurriedly said: "It doesn't belong to you." You use the money, and the other is your monthly money. There is one more thing, don't look for the original account book, let's set up another one. If you really manage it well, your father will give you the general ledger as well. ”

"Don't!" Gu Yao turned his head, coquettish, and said, "How can you work harder and harder?" ”

Watching the girl's iconic upward movement and twisting her head, coupled with the mantra "don't", Gu Zhixian suddenly burst into tears.

That year, under the leadership of the prince of Yan, they guarded the city gate; That year, King Yan led his troops through Xuzhou, and their family of three relaxed. To be exact, it is the burden on my own body that is lighter.

Yaoyao said that he was five years old at that time, but in fact, Yaoyao, who was only a little more than three years old, was the most disobedient. Tell her to go east, and she goes west. It's either ignoring you, or turning your head and saying no, don't, don't give, don't win, don't call...... In short, all the words make her accustomed to the surname "no".

Yanru always reprimands the child, and herself, the father who has passed the nephew's eldest son at the age of 3 or 4, is inevitably indulgent. If the child doesn't say it, how can there be anything in his heart that he doesn't understand? After only two or three days of idleness, Xiao Nizi rebelled, went to heaven, and sued from time to time, aunt, this is not good, that is not right.

At that time, they were a family of three, a loving father and a strict mother, but they were different and warm.

"Yanru, am I not good enough, or am I not good enough? Why did you leave us......"

Gu Yao heard his father's whisper and was stunned. How Aunt Shen died, Gu Yao didn't know. I was afraid that everyone would find out that something was wrong, so I didn't dare to ask. Now, with an excuse, when I was young, I can't remember it clearly-

"Daddy, how did my aunt leave?"

Gu Zhixian's body stiffened, came back to his senses, and said with a forced smile: "Why did you ask again......

"I asked before?"

Gu Zhixian bowed his head and said, "Is it okay?" In the first few days, you asked day and night, don't hug someone else, just ask your father to accompany you. I'm afraid you don't remember anymore, I still carried you to the ya. When did you stop asking? Tell me to think, well, it should be the second day of your aunt's first seven. We all thought you understood, so we didn't ask. ”

"I don't remember." Gu Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, and then said, "I only remember sitting alone on the kang, and Mother Lin was impatiently doing needlework on the ground, everything was in vain." ”

The white snow, the plain white furnishings, the appearance of the back office when Gu Yao left Wanping. Recalling that back then, the father and daughter dropped their chopsticks one after another, and when they talked about it, they didn't need to eat, and they felt very full.

Unconsciously, the father and daughter chatted until the second watch, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

At dawn the next day, without being urged, Gu Zhixian got up in good spirits, first went to the yamen to order a mao, and then went to the back cover room to find the Gu steward to ask for silver. Steward Gu wrapped the silver and handed it over, and said in his mouth: "The second master is really in good spirits today!" ”

Gu Zhixian smiled and didn't say anything, and took the silver to find Gu Yao.

Gu Yao couldn't tell the weight and asked him, "How much is this?" ”
