Chapter 22: The Gu Mansion
Mrs. Gu's residence happened to be located at the junction of Mengyue and Wu County, so the distance was not too far, and it would take about a day and a half to arrive.
Gu Junyang traveled day and night, and when he was tired, he took a nap in the car, rested for a while and then continued to hurry. In this way, they finally arrived at the Gu family's ancestral house in the early morning of the third day. Seeing that the sky had just dawned, he planned to take a rest at the hotel not far from the ancestral home.
After squinting slightly on the bed for a while, Gu Junyang didn't dare to sleep. When the time was almost up, I got up and washed up and cleaned up. After washing his face, the cold touch of the water immediately took away a little tiredness from him, but the thick dark circles under his eyes still hung on his handsome face, showing his tiredness in recent days.
"I don't know if Mrs. Gu is willing to let me check it. Gu Junyang was not confident in the purpose of coming this time, looked at himself in the mirror, puffed out his cheeks, and took a long breath.
About Mrs. Gu had already finished her morning tea, Gu Junyang walked towards the Gu family's ancestral house. This house has a history of more than 300 years, and the inscription in front of the door tells the glory of the Gu family in the past: more than 300 years ago, an ancestor of the Gu family moved here, and got a few peerless treasures in an ancient tomb by chance, so he started by buying and selling antiques, and the business is getting more and more popular, and now the accumulated wealth is not less than other small families, which is considered a rising star in the small family. Then, a semicolon was opened in Mengyue, and now it has been handed over to Gu Junyang to take care of. The ancestral house only occasionally trades in rare and exotic gadgets.
The red gate of the two people is majestic and solemn. Gu Junyang knocked on the door softly. It was Uncle Gu who opened the door, Gu Miao. is the old head of the Gu family in his sixties. Seeing that it was Gu Junyang, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said anxiously:
"Yo hey, I said little master, I can be regarded as seeing your figure! Madame has sent several groups of people out to look for you, and she is in a hurry every day. Fortunately, a few days before yesterday, Lao Wu called to say that you were back, or we would be scared to do things every day, for fear that one would accidentally do something wrong and anger Madame!"
Gu Junyang smiled and said: "Uncle Gu, Mrs. can't train anyone to train you old man, you are highly respected in the Gu family, and your status is unmatched! ”
Uncle Gu's face softened a lot at that time, "As long as you kid can speak, okay, Mrs. is resting in the main hall, you hurry over and coax well." ”
"Okay, then I'll go in first. Gu Junyang pursed his lips and smiled.
"Xiao Tao, the little master is here, why don't you come over and receive it. Uncle Gu shouted to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing not far away.
Xiao Tao is the second-class maid of Gu Zhai, as her name suggests, she is as pink and beautiful as a peach blossom.
"Yo, Sister Peach, I haven't seen you for a few months, it's more beautiful. Gu Junyang joked about Xiao Tao.
"Little master, don't talk nonsense, they're going to make fun of me again. Xiao Tao's face was slightly red.
The style in the courtyard is antique and antique, and the architectural pattern of receiving people and entertaining guests, the front hall, the main hall, and the partial hall, are complete in all aspects and elegantly arranged. Gu Junyang followed Xiao Tao through the vestibule corridor and came to the front hall. After waiting for Xiao Tao to report, he took him to the main hall again.
After entering the main hall, seeing that she was drinking tea, Gu Junyang tidied up his clothes, clenched his fists with both hands, and knelt on the ground with his legs bent. Then he lowered his head and said in a loud voice:
"Madam, Junyang has come to greet you!"
Although Mrs. Gu is in her forties, the years do not seem to have left traces on her face, she only looks like she is in her early thirties, and her demeanor is elegant, dignified, and graceful. Mrs. Gu was holding the teacup at this time, blowing the hot air gently, and ignored Gu Junyang.
Gu Junyang raised his head to look at Mrs. Gu's expression, tilted his head and stretched his neck, and said tentatively in a loud voice:
"Madame... Junyang has come to greet you!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gu still didn't answer, Gu Junyang pouted, his eyes looked east and west, and he could only kneel.
Half a moment later, Mrs. Gu slammed the teacup on the coffee table.
"Hmph, you still know to come and see me!?" Mrs. Gu's face was full of anger.
Gu Junyang smiled and was about to get up.
Mrs. Gu immediately reprimanded, "Did you get up?"
"Oh. Gu Junyang knelt back again.
"Let me ask you, have you gone to Lethe Stream?"
"Huh, you know everything, who said that, such a big mouth!" Gu Junyang muttered quietly.
"You don't care who told me, just ask you if it's you?" Mrs. Gu asked sharply.
"Yes. After finishing speaking, Gu Junyang looked at Mrs. Gu cautiously.
"Do you know what kind of place it is? Ordinary people don't understand, even if you don't know, how dare you go? It's easy for the Soul Eater there to take your life!"
Gu Junyang exaggeratedly covered his little heart, "I know it's wrong, I won't go next time, I swear I'll never be curious again." I was scared half to death when I went this time. ”
"You also know that you are scared, you deserve it!" Mrs. Gu suddenly lost her temper when she saw him like that.
Seeing that Mrs. Gu's face softened slightly, Gu Junyang took the opportunity to stand up, took a few steps and knelt beside Mrs. Gu's legs, and hammered her legs.
"Madam..."Gu Junyang stretched out his voice, "I know it's wrong, I'll just listen to you in the future, I really don't risk running around." Look, Junyang is injured!" said aggrievedly and stretched out his arm for Mrs. Gu to see.
"Hmph, I hope you do what you say, does the wound still hurt?" Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Junyang's arm to check.
Gu Junyang immediately coquettishly said: "It hurts, it hurts, why don't you blow it to Junyang?"
"Oh, you! Look at your sister, I'll make a phone call every few days to talk to me about the current situation, and then look at you..."Mrs. Gu sighed.
"Hey, I don't say it often, but I always think about you in my heart, without you, there would be no me Gu Junyang today, this Junyang will always remember. After speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled at Mrs. Gu.
"Okay, you'll be poor. Mrs. Gu lovingly tapped Gu Junyang's forehead.
Gu Junyang took the opportunity to ask, "That, madam, can I go into our Gu family's study to check something?"
"I know that you are not only here to see me, but to follow Manager Gu in a while, the keys to the study are all with him. ”
"Hmm... I'm not just referring to our Gu family's ordinary study. Gu Junyang was innocent and cute.
"Hmm?!Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Gu looked him up and down.
"Then I said, don't beat me, I mean the one I accidentally entered the secret room when I was a child and accidentally saw it - "Strange Things in Dian Zhou"!"
Syllable...... I saw Mrs. Gu's left hand slap on the table fiercely, and her face sank at that time...
