In a valley somewhere in the Soul Sword Continent, there is a large manor, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, and there are also people coming and going, almost reaching the scale of a small town.

Moreover, it can be regarded as a relatively prosperous town, which is simply incomparable with the dragon god town.

Of course, this is not a real town, but the location of the top big family on the Soul Sword Continent, the Gu family.

Yuxi sat in the carriage and slowly arrived at the mouth of the valley, feeling very heavy. Ever since she heard the rumors from Su Suna that she was going to marry, her heart has been heavy, although she can't believe it, it's not that they can't do it.

After arriving at the door, the two guards immediately shouted with cold faces: "What kind of person!

The coachman looked back at the carriage very embarrassed, and Yu Xi also lifted the curtain from the carriage and walked out: "It's me!"

"Miss?" The two guards suddenly lit up their eyes, and hurriedly bowed their heads respectfully, "I've seen Miss!"

The coachman's pupils shrank sharply, he was just an ordinary person, although he didn't know the specific identity of Yu Xi, but he could also see that he was not an ordinary person, and now these two guards called him the eldest lady, I am afraid that this is the territory of a certain family.

Yu Xi nodded lightly at the two doormen, took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the coachman: "Master Huang, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Well, that's a lot of gold?" said the coachman, surprised.

"Thank you for sending me so far, the excess should be a tip. Yu Xi smiled gently, according to the previous price, she only needed to give ten gold coins, but in that money bag, there were at least fifty gold coins.

After hearing this, the coachman nodded again and again, and said very gratefully: "Thank you, Miss! Thank you, Miss!"

Yu Xi smiled slightly. Then he turned around and walked in. And the two guards naturally didn't dare to stop it, and opened the door very respectfully to welcome Yu Xi in.

After Yu Xi entered, the coachman asked very carefully, "Two adults, can you ask what is the name of that young lady?"

The doorman asked very vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

The coachman shuddered and hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong. The old man just wanted to set up an immortal archway for the young lady and put it at home to worship. ”

The two guards looked at each other in surprise, and saw that what the old man said was not fake, but he didn't hide it, and said directly: "She is the eldest lady of our Gu family, named Gu Yuxi, you can remember it." ”

"Okay, thank you, two adults. When the old man heard the name, he immediately remembered it. He took the gold coin bag and left.

Yu Xi naturally didn't know what was happening later, in fact, as soon as she returned to the Gu family, the entire family quickly spread the news. After all, she has been away from home for three or four years, and many people are very curious about her.

Soon, a young and handsome man ran over: "Sister Xi, are you back?"

This person is Gu Yun, the second son of Uncle Yuxi, and he is also Yuxi's cousin. It is worth mentioning that Gu Yun is the only person in the family who has played better since Yu Xi was a child. But as they get older, there is a difference between men and women. In addition, it is adolescence again, and Yu Xi gradually distances herself from him a little.

Unexpectedly, just after coming back, Gu Yun was the first to greet him.

"Second brother!" Yu Xi had a smile on her face, and hurriedly greeted her, and hugged Gu Yun gently, "I haven't seen you for so many years." Are you alright?"

Gu Yun smiled and said, "Okay, it's all good, I don't know how you're doing, sister?"

"I'm fine, too. Yu Xi also smiled and asked, "I don't know how Uncle is doing?"

Brother-in-law...... is not only his Gu Yun's father, but also Gu Shanhe's eldest brother. And he is also the patriarch of the entire Gu family. Now the Gu family is the era when Yu Xi's uncle Gu Shanshui was the patriarch.

Gu Yun was stared at by Yu Xi like this, and suddenly realized, lowered his voice and said, "Sister Xi, have you heard something?"

"It's nothing, can't I come back and see everyone?" Yu Xi still smiled, but her heart quickly became cold, judging from Gu Yun's expression, what Su Su said at that time should be true.

Gu Yun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dryly: "Yes, it's okay, it's rare for you to come back, sister, go, I'll take you to meet everyone." ”

"No, I'll go back to my courtyard first. Yu Xi shook her head lightly, "I've been in the carriage for a long time, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a break." ”

Gu Yun nodded: "Okay, I'll send you back to my own courtyard first, and then let everyone come to see you after you have rested." ”

Soon, Yu Xi, accompanied by Gu Yun, returned to the small courtyard where he lived. In terms of environment, this single-family courtyard is really good, and it can be seen that even in the past few years since she left, someone has often cleaned it.

It's just that for Yu Xi, it's difficult for her to regard this place as her home, at most it's a place where she lived in her childhood.

Because, there is no trace of popularity here, almost all of them only think about themselves.

For her, there is only the Dragon God Academy, and that is the real home!

The facilities in the house are all available, and Yu Xi didn't talk nonsense, she was really tired, lying on the bed, and soon fell asleep in a daze.

At the same time, the entire Gu family has also known about Yu Xi's return, although Yu Xi has been outside, but the influence in the Gu family is really not small. It's not just Yuxi's brothers and sisters who are talking about it, but also the people of the older generation.

In a small room, a middle-aged man who looked similar to Gu Yun was sitting on the lower left, and there were three middle-aged people who were also a little similar to each other, but in the upper seat, there were two old men, and they all looked a little similar to Gu Shanshui.

"Why did this girl come back suddenly?Did she know something?" The middle-aged man at the bottom right asked in a deep voice, he was Gu Yuxi's cousin Gu Mingfeng.

Speaking of which, the relationship between their Gu family is also a bit complicated, as the patriarch, Gu Shanshui and Gu Shanhe are brothers, and they should be the most powerful branch of the entire Gu family.

But the Gu family is not one of their forces, there are two other forces, and they are the two old men in the upper seat.

They are all brothers of Gu Shanshui and Gu Shanhe's father, in other words, they are also cousins of Gu Shanshui and Gu Shanhe. And Gu Yuxi should call the two of them cousins, but in order to distinguish them, they generally call the second grandfather and the third grandfather directly.

The patriarch of the previous generation, that is, Gu Shanshui and Gu Shanhe's father, has been dead for many years, and among the older generation of the Gu family, only these two are still there, although neither of them is the patriarch, but they also have a very important say in family affairs.

And Gu Mingfeng is the son of Gu Shanhe's second uncle, and the two middle-aged people next to him are his own brother Gu Mingluan and the third uncle's son Gu Minghai.

The six of them have become the highest authority of the Gu family, of course, Gu Shanhe should have been counted, but Gu Shanhe did not go home all year round.

Gu Mingluan next to him said in a deep voice: "It's possible, although we have tried our best to keep it secret, but as long as this kind of thing is revealed to others a little, it is easy to spread out, I think that girl heard about it from some source, so I ran back to ask." ”

"Hmph, now that she knows, then it's just right, contact the Bai family directly, and start choosing a good day and an auspicious day to get engaged!" Gu Minghai said with disdain.

Gu Shanshui raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, but on the surface, he smiled and said: "Ming Hai, is this inappropriate? After all, Yu regrets her own marriage, and she still has to make her own decisions." What's more, we have promised Shanhe last time, and we will wait until the rain is over twenty years old to mention it, and now we are in such a hurry, isn't it not good?"

"Shanshui, you can't say that. An old man sitting in the upper seat spoke, "Yu Xi is the son of our Gu family, so the future must be arranged by our Gu family, especially the marriage event, how can she make her own decisions?"

The old man next to him nodded again and again: "What the second brother said is true, we did promise Shanhe last time to wait until Yu Xi is twenty years old, but now Yu Xi is more than seventeen years old, almost eighteen, it doesn't matter if it is more than two years." And we can get engaged to the Bai family first, and then marry after Yu Xi turns twenty. ”

"But ......," Gu Shanshui raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "We always have to ask for the opinion of the rain, right?"

"There's no need, the marriage is decided by the parents, how can she be a little girl who knows true happiness?" Gu Mingluan waved his hand, "And big brother, is it possible that you want to watch our Gu family collapse?"

"I ......" Gu Shanshui moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to refute, so he nodded weakly, "Okay, but I have to inform Xia Shanhe about this matter, right?"

The old man on the left waved his hand: "No need, Shanhe doesn't know where to go now, it's difficult for us to contact him." And it's just an engagement, and it's not too late to notify him when he's really married. ”

"That's reasonable, so let's go and call Yuxi over now, and we'll have a showdown with her. The other old man nodded.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Gu Shanshui's heart, and he clenched his fist, but quickly let go: "I heard Yun'er say that Yu Xi has just come back, and due to the long distance, she is very tired now, and she has gone back to her small courtyard to rest, why don't you wait for her to wake up and call over?"

"That's fine!" the crowd didn't insist.

For them, Yuxi's lifelong happiness is, and only the interests of the entire Gu family, or to be more precise, their small family, are really big things.

After Yuxi woke up, it was already evening, and when she got up to wash, Gu Yun's voice came from outside: "Sister Xi, have you woken up?"

"Second brother, I'm awake!" Gu Yu responded, and after washing up quickly, he walked over to open the door, and it was Gu Yun who was standing at the door.

"Sister Xi, have you slept well? My father told you to go to the council hall. Gu Yun said with a dry smile.

"What are you doing in the council hall?" Yu Xi was slightly stunned, "And doesn't it mean that all the women in the family are not allowed to enter the council hall?

"I ......" Gu Yun was very hesitant, hurriedly glanced around, and after seeing that there was no one, he lowered his voice and said in Yu Xi's ear, "Sister Xi, I heard that the second grandfather and the third grandfather want to marry you to the Bai family." (To be continued......)
