Chapter 168: Zhuangzi
Dayong City
The bustling scene on the dock is not as withered and decayed as imagined. Forrest gump
Gu Anran helped Fang Su and stood on the bow of the official ship.
They came to Dayong from Yazhou this time, and they took the official ship specially sent by the Mu family to pick them up, which was two stories high, and the materials were luxurious and magnificent.
Such an official ship, changed to the usual, I am afraid that only the prince and grandson dare to use it, the cabin is spacious, more spacious than the ordinary room, sitting on the soft couch, there is no bump at all.
Standing on the bow of the boat, looking at the turbulent waves on the river, Gu Anran couldn't help but think of the scene when he came to Dayong to study, when he was just a down-and-out student whose father died and his mother was sick, and he was full of apprehension when he first came to the capital. At this moment, he is coming to Dayong again, but he is full of ambition and pride.
Assist the hero, become famous, which good man doesn't want to?
"Dalang, lady, the luggage is all packed." Wang Da commanded the small servants, the little girls moved the big boxes and small boxes of things off the boat, there were already carriages waiting at the ferry, a line of more than a dozen, the carriages were all carrying lanterns, and a square 'Gu' word was written on it, which was quite eye-catching.
Gu Anran nodded, and when he saw his sister who came to greet him in person and stood at the ferry, his face showed a touch of joy.
Gu Wan smiled, and let the eldest brother, who was rushing over eagerly, go up and down, and measure it carefully.
"I'm taller, and I'm thinner." Gu Anran squinted, suppressed the tears in his eyes, and said with a smile, "However, it looks better." ”
He finally put his mind at ease, his sister suddenly disappeared, life and death were unknown, he didn't know how many more bubbles on his mouth for a while, and his sideburns had added a little frost. At this time, I saw a healthy and beautiful sister standing in front of me. It was as if all the pain no longer existed, and even the thoughts that wanted to teach Gu Wan a good lesson dissipated.
"Okay, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have had a hard journey. Let's go back and rest. Gu Wan walked over with a smile. took Fang Su's hand and helped her into the carriage.
Fang Su hooked the corners of his lips and glanced at Gu Anran: "Sister doesn't know, since receiving your letter, Lang Jun has been in a hurry to dismiss most of the servants in the family, leaving Wu to take care of the house, and only bring Sanniang, Baosheng, and Baoqin." Wang Da, Wang Er, these few people got on the boat. If it weren't for the fact that I didn't like it, I brought a few girls with me, I'm afraid that along the way, they wouldn't even be able to do the work of boiling tea and pouring water. ”
Fang Su's own personal maid was matched with a little girl, and let Gu Anran stay in Yazhou, and didn't follow, if it weren't for her being so free-spirited, I am afraid that her husband would have to take care of herself. Forrest gump
"Then we have to add some more manpower, and we always rely on the help of the Mu family. It's not a problem. ”
Gu Wan was a little worried, although she fell in love with a mansion, which was left by the down-and-out marquis of the previous dynasty, and it was transferred a year ago, but this is the ancestral house of the Gu family. Finishing and decoration should not be neglected. I couldn't live for ten days and half a month, and my eldest brother and sister-in-law came too quickly. It was really unexpected for her, and it seemed that she could only live in a village from the Gu family temporarily.
If it was possible, Gu Wan was really not willing to go to Zhuangzi to entangle with the subordinates arranged by his rogue aunt when he was busy, and he planned to wait for the time to send away those villains, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, so it was not good to let the eldest brother and sister-in-law go to live in Chen Wenrou's house.
Gu Wan was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she whispered a few words to Fang Su, and the group walked towards the Gu family's Zhuangzi.
Although the Gu family's Zhuangzi has always been the Gu family's big house, for more than ten years before, it was the second room of the Gu family, and the housekeeper inside was still Gu Wan's aunt, Wang's nurse and Li's man. The minions in it, large and small, are all from the Wang family.
The Gu family's carriage stopped at the gate, and Gu Anran got out of the car first before reaching out to help his wife and sister down.
I saw that the gates of the Zhuangzi were all freshly brushed, the grass and trees on both sides were neatly maintained, and at the entrance of the village, forty or fifty maids and women stood in rows.
Li's husband, Hong Qing, who was also Zhuangzi's steward, waited respectfully in front of the door to welcome several masters into the door.
The house seems to have just been refurbished and the yard is a bit cluttered.
Hong Qing had a respectful smile on his face, and led the way apologetically: "Lang Jun, the people are not sensible, the yard has not been cleaned yet, the slaves must deal with it as soon as possible, please rest assured." ”
Gu Anran nodded, he didn't care much, and he wouldn't live in Zhuangzi forever anyway.
Gu Wan glanced at it casually, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with an interesting smile, but what a rule!
Hong Qing was wearing clean coarse cloth clothes, and she was very properly cleaned up from head to toe, without the slightest transgression, if it wasn't for the earlier inquiry about Dayong's situation, I don't know how many people left by the county lord Chen, muttering in her ear - Zhuangzi's housekeeper wears gold and silver, and the gold and jade jewelry worn by Li's daughter, and the silk used for clothes are better than the daughters of large families, and this family has already lived in the main house and regarded herself as the master!
I'm afraid that Gu Wan will look down on these subordinates because of their obedience!
Sure enough, there are still many smart people in the world.
Gu Wan smiled, in the past, I would always see a lot of slaves bullying the master, for example, a certain person has been operating at home for decades, and the relationship is complicated, and he doesn't even pay attention to the master, and he dares to give the master an ugly look in person...... Of course, this kind of situation happens from time to time, but most of them are really easy to bully by the master, and those slaves do have their own dependence, this is only a few exceptions, most of the time, the master has the privilege of life and death to the slaves.
At least, Gu Wan absolutely believes that these minions have enjoyed the life of their masters for more than ten years before they came, but they will never dare to be wild in front of her, even if they are careful, they will only secretly make things bad - how can they be stupid if they can entrust the Wang family with important responsibilities and be in charge for more than ten years in Zhuangzi.
No matter how beautiful Hong Qing used to be, he was just a lowly slave, but he was not one of those slaves who signed a living deed and could redeem himself after a few years, if he dared to give the Gu family these masters no face, Gu Wan would kill him, and no one would say a word of nonsense!
They are all slaves left by the Wang family, it is conceivable that the current masters themselves are dissatisfied with them, and at this time, in front of Gu Anran and Gu Wan, they are naturally as honest as they are, and they will not let people catch them at all.
What's more, today's Gu Wan, the Gu family's clan is close to it, and it is too late to pull the relationship, and the Gu family's descendants are even more eager to offer her as an ancestor, even if they are a slave who is pinched by the Wang family, they will never dare to be disrespectful to her.
After entering the door, behind Gu Wan, four mothers-in-law walked out, carrying two Qingni sedan chairs.
Hong Qing's eyes flashed, and when she didn't speak, Gu Wan ignored her, and only smiled at the other party: "Let's get on the sedan chair and go, sister-in-law has really worked hard all the way." ”
Fang Su nodded with a smile and got into the sedan chair.
The four mothers-in-law carried Gu Wan and Fang Su all the way to the inner courtyard, and soon came to a courtyard with red walls and blue tiles, looking at the layout, it was the main courtyard, Gu Wan took Fang Su's hand and accompanied her in: "My brother and sister-in-law live here temporarily, and I live in the bamboo garden next door." ”
Gu Anran and Fang Su looked at both places, and saw that the plum trees in the main courtyard were all over, which was quite elegant, and a row of bamboos was planted in the bamboo garden, which was also very interesting and quite satisfied.
After seeing the temporary residence, Gu Anran asked his sister and wife to rest first, and he went to the study, ready to meet his teacher first.
Gu Nan came to Dayong with the Mu family's family a few years ago, and Gu Anran, as a disciple, naturally wanted to meet the teacher first after coming to the capital... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
