325 Discouraged
Su Mo naturally had no objections, the backyard was far away, they got into the carriage again, Gu Qinhan beckoned the little guy in exchange for the little guy and asked him to lead the carriage to the backyard.
The carriage traveled for nearly two quarters of an hour before it stopped in front of the hanging flower gate in the backyard.
There are no female dependents in the Gu Mansion, and Gu Qinhan is not close to women, so this Gu steward naturally did not buy maids, but there are a few mothers-in-law, but they are from the kitchen.
Therefore, the people who will greet Su Mo and them in front of the Hanging Flower Gate are all small guys.
Su Mo led the child down from the carriage.
Don't look at the vast area of the Gu Mansion, the little guys in the front yard and the back yard are still well-informed, after all, as a subordinate, it is easy to be ill-informed.
Therefore, the subordinates who were guarding in front of the door of the weeping flowers saw Su Mo coming down, and bowed again and again, "The little one has seen Mrs. Gu, the little boy, and the little lady." ”
This situation provoked Gu Xingnian, who was nested in Su Mo's arms, to widen his eyes curiously.
There is also a hierarchy between the subordinates, such as Gu Steward is the chief steward of the house, and under his hands, there are four small stewards.
The four of them perform their own duties and report their work to the manager at the end of each month.
And standing in front of a number of subordinates, dressed relatively richly, was the little steward who was temporarily arranged by Gu Steward to be in charge of the backyard - Gu Shi.
He is also in charge of the kitchen under his hand, with enough oil and water, this person naturally looks rich, not tall, fleshy, and pleasing at first glance.
"Slave Gu Shi, I have seen Mrs., Little Miss, and three little sons."
He clasped his fists and saluted, and then made a gesture of please, "Duofuxuan has been packed, Madame, please..."
Duofuxuan is the main courtyard of the backyard of the Gu Mansion, and it is also the largest courtyard in the backyard.
After passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, passing through a small garden, and walking through two verandahs, Su Mo and the others stopped.
As the daughter of the original outsider, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and the mansion she lives in is also extremely luxurious.
And Gu Ping'an and Gu Xingnian are different, the two of them are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, looking around, only feeling that everything is strange.
After Gu Jinnian left the palace, he had already learned about their life history from Su Mo's mouth.
Thinking about Gu Qinhan's identity, he actually had a certain amount of psychological preparation for the situation in the Gu Mansion in his heart, and Gu Qinhan didn't like luxury, and the layout of the front yard was very simple.
Gu Jinnian still felt that it was nothing, after all, he had just seen the palace.
But now that I came to the backyard, I saw Duofuxuan, which had been carefully repaired by Steward Gu...
Not to mention the rest, just the golden plaque hanging on the gate, engraved with the three big characters of "Duofuxuan"...
Gu Jinnian was shocked.
But he restrained himself very well, and the person quickly came back to his senses, and his face was still the same, but the hands under the sleeves were slightly clenched, and his thin lips were pursed.
Gu Jinnian was precocious, and he could see Chen Qingzhou's thoughts clearly, and he naturally didn't miss the wrong thing between Su Mo and Gu Qinhan.
Therefore, at this moment, he was suddenly a little glad that Gu Qinhan, who was powerful and wealthy, was his uncle.
Chen Qingzhou quietly raised his eyes, the sunlight sprinkled on the glazed tiles, and the refracted light was a little dazzling.
He withdrew his gaze, his drooping eyes swept over his cotton clothes, and then looked at Gu Xingnian.
Holding Su Mo's hand, Gu Xingnian, who walked inside, felt something.
The little girl stopped, let go of Su Mo, and looked back at Chen Qingzhou, she tilted her head slightly, and smiled sweetly with a little doubt, "Brother Qingzhou, why are you stunned?" Come here! ”
Chen Qingzhou's heart moved slightly.
"Well, I'll come over here."
He tugged at his lips and smiled, but he didn't have any strength in his legs.
For the first time, the young man experienced the taste of being daunted.
……
After Steward Gu woke up, he sat up suddenly, he couldn't care about his dizzy mind, he looked around, but found that the person he wanted to see was not in the house, and the whole person was in a trance.
Could it be his delusion?
Steward Gu clenched the sheets under him, and an indescribable bitterness welled up in his heart.
At the beginning, in order to keep the eldest son, the prince had to let the eldest prince and his wife leave the capital with the one-year-old son.
This walk is nearly 30 years.
The Gu family went from glory to decline, and then from decline to glory, everything seemed to return to the beginning, but it was completely different.
The second son, Gu Lei, in order to revive the Gu family, taught his son very strictly, which made Gu Qinhan different from other children since he was a child, and his childhood was only endlessly busy.
Later, in order to make Emperor Jingyong even more indebted to the Gu family, in order to pave the way for Gu Qinhan, and in order to better find the eldest son, the second son took advantage of the situation and paid for his life.
But even so, there is still no news of the eldest son's vein...
Gu Steward thought about it so far, his heart was full of sadness, if he hadn't consciously faced the late prince without a face, he would have followed the prince with a cup of poisonous wine.
"Uncle Gu, why are you up?"
Gu Qinhan had just sent the doctor away, and when he entered the house, he saw that Steward Gu had woken up, frowned slightly, and strode over.
"You are stimulated, Dr. Sun said, you need to recuperate, lie down quickly."
Gu Qinhan's voice made Gu Steward detach himself from his thoughts, he held Gu Qinhan's hand violently, his eyes were red, and his words were full of apprehension,
"Second son, what the old slave saw when he fainted..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qinhan nodded, and held Steward Gu's hand, "That's right, Uncle Gu, I have found my uncle's descendant!" ”
Steward Gu seemed to be frozen, and it took a while before he raised his head, and when he met Gu Qinhan's determined eyes, his eyes were wet, and tears quickly filled his entire face.
The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!
The pain that had been suppressed in his heart for many years was finally released, and Steward Gu couldn't cry silently.
Gu Qinhan silently stood aside, watching Steward Gu cry and laugh, laughing and crying until he calmed down.
Steward Gu, who realized it later, raised his head suddenly, his face was embarrassed, but he didn't care about this, and his voice was extremely worried.
"Why didn't any of the people who came..."
Steward Gu wanted to ask the people who came why there were no Gu Jingting, husband and wife, and the little son.
But he couldn't say anything when it came to his lips, and he was afraid of hearing bad news...
Gu Qinhan pursed his lips and was silent.
It's just that there are some things that can be treated as if they didn't happen without escaping.
Gu Guan felt something, his lips trembled, and his face turned pale.
Gu Qinhan's face flashed a little unbearable, but in the end, he still said truthfully: "In the twenty-second year of Yuan Yong, the uncle, aunt and eldest brother went to sea to fish, and accidentally encountered a shipwreck, and when the local villagers found them, they had already died..."
In the twenty-second year of Yuan Yong, that is, five years ago, the Gu family had just recovered...
No wonder, no wonder in the past few years, they have sent out so many people, but they haven't found any news of the eldest son...
The look in Steward Gu's eyes dimmed instantly, his eyes were out of focus, and his whole person seemed to be a teenager all of a sudden, and his body was shaky.
"Uncle Gu..."
Gu Qinhan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.
Steward Gu closed his eyes and opened them after a pause.
The deceased is gone, and he should pay more attention to the people in front of him.
Steward Gu suppressed the sadness in his heart.
He has already been ashamed of the prince a lot, after this eldest prince stays, no matter what, he has to hold on to this old life and watch those children grow up!
