Chapter 54: Grandpa's Birthday Banquet
On July 18, it was the birthday of Mrs. Zhou, and Second Master Gu led the Liu family and Gu Wanchao back to Zhou's house to celebrate Mrs. Zhou's birthday.
There are many protégés of the old lady this week, and when Gu Wanchao's family arrived at the Zhou Mansion, those officials also came to the Zhou Mansion one after another with birthday gifts, and the front of the Zhou Mansion can be described as a city.
The Zhou family has been a lord for generations, although there is no one in the court, but this Zhou old lady's birthday, there are not many guests.
"Little master, young grandmother, little miss." In front of the Zhou Mansion, the housekeeper who was entertaining guests at the door saw that it was Gu Erye's family, and hurriedly greeted him.
"This is a birthday gift for my grandfather, you have to keep it, don't lose it, where is your grandfather?" Second Master Gu handed the birthday gift in his hand to the housekeeper and asked where Old Lady Zhou was.
"Not long ago, a few protégés of the old lady came, and the old lady is now playing chess in the courtyard." The housekeeper took the birthday gift, and said that he motioned for the little guy on the side to come over and take Gu Erye's family to find Mrs. Zhou.
"Little master, you come with me." The little maid understood, and hurriedly took the three of them to the courtyard to find Mrs. Zhou.
"A few days ago, the old lady was still chattering, saying that the little young master hadn't brought the little lady back to see him for a long time, and he missed the little miss." On the way, the little maid talked about Old Lady Zhou's thoughts about Gu Erye's family.
Hearing this, Second Master Gu was silent, glanced at the Liu family, and didn't say a word.
Gu Wanchao looked at the reactions of the two, and naturally knew that they were because they were not Mrs. Zhou's real grandson and granddaughter-in-law, and she felt a little guilty for making Mrs. Zhou miss her so much.
Gu Wanchao stayed in Gu Erye's arms, thinking about how to break the current deadlock, and said slowly: "Really? Since Grandpa Tai wants Chao Chao so much, then let's go to Grandpa Tai quickly, Chao Chao also misses Grandpa. ”
After speaking, Second Master Gu looked at Gu Wanchao with a smile, and then opened his mouth, "Okay, let's hurry up." ”
When the little maid took the three of them to the courtyard, he happened to see the old lady playing against others.
What Gu Wanchao didn't expect was that the person who played against the old lady Zhou was actually the captain of the dynasty, the captain of Hu.
Hu Taiwei is a well-known Qingliu in the court, and Gu Traitor, who has always had the name of a traitor, is a sworn enemy, because Hu Taiwei has dealings with Li Yu, and Murong Zhao has also had several encounters with him.
Hu Taiwei was followed by the ministers of the court, and the official residence was secondary.
Gu Wanchao knew that Mrs. Zhou had many protégés, but he didn't expect that even Mrs. Hu was Mrs. Zhou's protégé.
"Old lady, the little master's family has arrived." The little guy stepped forward and reported to the old lady Zhou who was thinking about the chess game.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhou turned around at this time, and Mrs. Zhou, who had a serious face, instantly had joy on her face.
"Come, come, come and accompany my grandfather in the next game." Old Lady Zhou looked at Second Master Gu and opened her mouth to invite.
"Teacher, this is not right, the students have not yet decided the winner." Mrs. Hu put down the chess pieces in his hand and complained to Mrs. Zhou.
As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady dropped the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
"Now I'm losing."
Hearing this, Taiwei Hu glanced down at the chess game, and then accepted the fact that he had really lost.
"Xiaguan has seen Captain Hu." Gu Erye saw that Taiwei Hu got up to make way for himself, so he opened his mouth to salute.
Captain Hu nodded at him and sat aside.
"It's rare for you kid to come back, the teacher always talks to the old man about you." When Mrs. Hu saw Second Master Gu sitting down, he said a word.
"Recently, the army has been busy with affairs, and I can't get away for a while, my grandfather won't blame his grandson, right?"
"Since your kid returned to the Gu family, it is very difficult for my grandfather to see you, come, it's your turn." Old lady Zhou put the chess pieces on the chessboard and complained about Second Master Gu.
A few people talked about homely things, and the Liu family silently took Gu Wanchao out of here and went to Mrs. Zhou's room in the backyard.
"Grandma, Chao Chao misses you." As soon as the two arrived in Mrs. Zhou's room, Gu Wanchao suddenly threw herself into Mrs. Zhou's arms.
The old lady looked at Gu Wanchao and smiled from ear to ear.
"Grandmother." Liu stood aside and shouted.
However, the old lady was not very enthusiastic about the Liu family, so he just nodded and said, "Here, sit down." ”
The last time he came in the first month, Gu Wanchao didn't pay attention to the old lady's attitude towards the Liu family, and now he found out that the old lady was so cold to the Liu family.
Gu Wanchao looked at the atmosphere between the two, and always felt that they should have something to say, so he found an excuse and ran out.
She hid in the corner, wanting to hear the secrets about the two.
"After all these years of hard work, you have taken the dynasty with you." The old lady looked at Gu Wanchao who ran out, and said this coldly to the Liu family.
Liu's face was shocked, he sat aside obediently, and said softly: "This is what a granddaughter-in-law should do, what is not hard." ”
"Back then, I asked you to take the dynasty to review the mansion together, and this time it was six years, I really wronged you, if it weren't for ......" The old lady was halfway through her words and choked up.
"Old Taijun, people can't be resurrected after death, and now with me, Second Master Gu, and Chaochao to accompany you, we are still a family." Liu stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Zhou.
Hearing this, Gu Wanchao felt a little unbelievable for a while, although Mrs. Zhou did not finish her words, but she roughly understood that Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou actually knew that Second Master Gu was fake.
No, maybe the entire Zhou Mansion knows that their family is fake.
Second Master Gu is the eyeliner that the saint planted in the Gu Mansion. It also means that the Zhou family was instructed by the Holy Lord to send their fake goods to the Gu Mansion.
After returning from the Zhou Mansion, Gu Wanchao has been thinking about this question, since the Zhou family and Shengshang have teamed up to act in such a play, is the Liu family also their eyeliner?
Gu Wanchao, who still doesn't know the true identity of the Liu family, is guessing wildly.
In Le Anju, the guards came to report that Xiao Yu'an's goods had arrived.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an got up, left Le'anju, and headed all the way to the outskirts of Beijing.
In a house on the outskirts of Beijing, Xiao Yu'an was sitting in the middle of the study at this time, and there were a few boys kneeling in front of him who looked not very old.
"Have you thought about it? If you decide to follow me, not only will you not have glory and wealth in the future, but your life will be in danger at any time. ”
It turned out that the "goods" mentioned by the guards were actually these teenagers who had nowhere to go and sold themselves to Xiao Yu'an.
Several teenagers looked at each other, and finally looked up at Xiao Yu'an with firm eyes, clasped their fists with both hands, and said, "Think about it clearly, the master gave us a bite to eat and dragged us out of purgatory. ”
"Okay, you will follow me in the future, I will teach you to learn martial arts and read and write, and I will wait for the day when the sword will be unsheathed." Xiao Yu'an looked at the young man in front of him who was not much different from himself, he knew that these people were worth it for themselves.
