Chapter 73 My People(1/4)
While Gu Yaoyao helped Gu's father lead to his seat, she asked Xia Liu to put away the futon on the ground.
"Since I want to make my father feel distressed, I have to do a good job." She didn't sit down, but just squatted in front of Gu's father, looking at him pitifully.
Gu’s father had already regretted it. Gu Yaoyao’s eyes made Gu’s father soft-hearted. He sighed and reached out to rub Gu Yaoyao’s head, "Be careful in everything from now on."
Outside, it was raining heavily. Gu Haochen stood in the rain with an oil-paper umbrella, watching the warm scene in the room, tears fell uncontrollably.
He could not understand why everything changed when he came to the capital.
When he was in Jiangnan, although Gu's father was not very close to him, he would give him enough face.
Gu Yaoyao has always felt sorry for his parents who died since childhood. Both of them grew up at the same time, so he truly respected himself as his brother.
But why, now it has changed. He is disliked by others if he doesn't do anything, and he will be disliked by others if he does anything.
At this moment, he wanted to ask why, but it seemed like there was a root under his feet and he couldn't take any steps. What qualifications did he have to ask?
But, he is just a servant with a face.
The rain continued, but Gu Yaoyao slept the most peacefully this time.
The next morning, Xia Liuyuan took a set of plain dress that Gu Yaoyao liked to wear on weekdays, but she refused, so she specially found a red one.
It's very consistent with her current state of mind.
When I went to pay my respects to the old lady, I really amazed everyone.
Gu Minghui took Gu Yaoyao's hand and looked around, "I always think you should match this color."
After she finished speaking, even the old lady nodded.
The room was very lively, but the person below came to report that Gu Haochen suddenly fainted.
After all, he was his nominal grandson, and the old lady led someone over to take a look.
Gu Yaoyao and Gu Minghui supported the old lady, but when they arrived at Gu Haochen's yard, Gu Yaoyao did not go in and just waited outside.
Gu Haochen in the room had woken up, with an abnormal red color. He heard someone coming in, and slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was the old lady, so he quickly got up to greet him.
The old lady quickly took a few steps and pressed the person down, "You are sick, don't be too polite."
As soon as he entered the door, the doctor came out and reported to the old lady, saying that Gu Haochen had suffered from cold and had a fever.
But Gu Haochen avoided the old lady's hand, held the bedside and knelt down, "The courtesy should not be abandoned. If my grandmother did not accept this gift, my grandson would feel really bad."
But because of his weak body, his body shook significantly when he looked up.
The old lady was originally going to sit beside Gu Haochen's bed. After he said this, he asked someone to move a chair and put it in front of him. The hand that stretched out slowly took it back, and asked the person below to support Gu Haochen and lie down.
The old lady was sorry that Gu Haochen was sick and was so persistent that she seemed to be unaware of the rules.
"It was just that I was wet from the rain last night. My grandson thought it was okay, but I didn't expect it to be so useless. It alarmed my grandmother. It turned out that my grandson deserved to die." Even after lying down, Gu Haochen's mouth did not stop, and explained as he thought.
The old lady nodded unnaturally, "It's not a bad person."
Seeing that Gu Haochen was so humble, even a servant was not as good as a servant, he suddenly lost interest. He told the servants to ask them to take good care of him, and then stood up and left.
Looking at the old lady's back, Gu Haochen's eyes were red again. He felt uncomfortable when he came back last night. He was just thinking about his identity and knew that he shouldn't bother others. He endured it and passed by, but he didn't expect to be so unsuccessful.
But even though I am sick, the Gu family doesn't care about me.
The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it feels, and tears fall down.
Listening to the sob, the old lady looked back and saw that he, a big man, was very unhappy.
The Gu family raised him so big, but he felt uncomfortable, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.
She is old this year, and the younger generations who look down on her most are crying, and she feels inexplicably irritated, and her steps are faster.
After leaving the yard and meeting Gu Yaoyao and Gu Minghui, I felt more happy.
She also heard about what happened last night. She thought about taking the time to ask her father Gu, why she got angry at the two children after drinking, but now she doesn't want to mention it at all. Just Gu Haochen looks so indecent, who knows what he can do?
Yesterday, the Feng family came to the door, and the marriage was probably completed soon.
In the past, Gu Minghui didn't dare to think that she would have a happy marriage. She didn't embroider the veil, purse, and pillows. She just wanted to let the embroiderer do it all, but now she doesn't want to borrow from others.
So he invited Gu Yaoyao to her house and helped to choose some colors.
The old lady smiled and sent the two children over and hurried over. After the person left, the old lady's face suddenly sank and told the aunt Qian next to her, "Look at him and don't let him do anything ridiculous."
Nowadays, Ye Zhuohua is the most popular, and the Gu family cannot do something misleading.
"Oh, it's not my own blood, I don't have that patience." After giving the order, the old lady sighed long, but she was always unhappy when she said that.
I think it's just like self-reflection, but it grew up in front of me. She feels a little weaker when doing this.
Madam Qian held the old lady's hand and shook her head gently beside her, "Don't think so much. You also understand the child's nature. She has been awkward since she was a child. How could anyone get into his heart?"
In this way, the old lady didn't say anything.
The old lady has a weak descendant. The second wife is a child she likes. When she took Gu Haochen to see the old lady, the old lady once loved it, but the child was timid and a man who couldn't stand it. The old lady wouldn't care about it anymore.
But at that time, I thought that maybe the child was not used to it just now, so I would have been better off waiting for the Gu family to educate him for a while, but I didn't expect that when the old lady went to Jiangnan, I found that the child had not changed yet.
They all know the second wife's temperament and must treat the two children equally. It can be seen from the lower-ranked attitude of respect for Gu Haochen.
Later, the old lady didn't deliberately treat this child very well, and it was all about the past.
Moreover, seeing that Gu Haochen had reservations about others and was reluctant to be considerate to Gu Yaoyao, he was willing to give him decent.
On the other side, Gu Yaoyao came to Gu Minghui, as if she was in her own room, and went straight to find the chair beside the desk and sat down, "Is this a painting of mandarin ducks?"
As soon as Gu Yaoyao said that, Gu Minghui's face turned red, "I asked you to choose a trick, why do you talk so much?" He lowered his head and quickly cleaned up all the paintings she had painted.
Gu Yaoyao burst out laughing, "This thing used to get married is either mandarin ducks or trench lotus, what are you hiding?"
Gu Minghui glared at Gu Yaoyao, "You know!"
However, after packing up the tricks, Gu Minghui sat in front of Gu Yaoyao, "I want to make him a few sets of clothes. The general should be more powerful and domineering, but I saw that he loved to dress up as a scholar and had no idea for a moment."
Gu Yaoyao turned the teacup in front of her, but the smile on her lips couldn't help but overflow. She could be so entangled in just a set of clothes. Maybe this is what is called love locks people.
"Since you can't figure it out correctly, just do a few sets of both." Gu Yaoyao thought about it, raised her hand and thought of drawing out the sudden thought in her heart, but she still touched the pen and retreated.
Although she is good with Gu Minghui, this kind of thing is not easy to get along with. If the brother-in-law is wearing the look of his sister-in-law, it will make people feel strange for no reason.
Even if General Xiao Feng didn't know, she couldn't feel comfortable looking at herself.
Gu Minghui was confused while he was not paying attention to Gu Yaoyao's small movements. He just complained and said, "I'll come here, you don't have any useful ideas. The more such things, the better."
As he said that, he felt that the room was too quiet. He looked up at Gu Yaoyao with her bright eyes open and was smiling at herself, his face turned red again, and he patted Gu Yaoyao on the shoulder, "You are smiling now. When you get married in the future, I will always laugh back."
The two of them were joking, but Gu Yaoyao still accompanied Gu Minghui to see a few tricks.
After the two of them finished watching, Gu Yaoyao leaned on the chair and was not in a hurry to leave, "You should ask for something for yourself."
When Gu Yaoyao mentioned this, Gu Minghui paused her arm and then smiled, "It's up to her to see if she's going to be a bait."
While the two of them were talking, the person below sent a post saying that it was someone from Xue's house asking for a visit.
After the last time General Xiao Feng sent a post but was rejected by Gu Mingchen, he continued to explain that if there was a reply to Gu Minghui first, he would not bother him.
Gu Minghui held the post and her face slightly darkened. The Xue family was going to see her brother, but there was no good thing in that family. She must have had some plans this time.
However, Hu lived in Xue's family, and Gu Minghui was unable to make up for a moment.
Gu Yaoyao put down the teacup and gently patted Gu Minghui's hand, "I'll ask with you."
At the spring banquet, they could see clearly that Gu Mingchen's decision to rise was mostly related to Hu's family.
I should choose my own way, and no one of them can interfere.
Because Gu Mingchen had to study hard, he had no service except the servant who was guarding outside the yard.
As soon as I entered, it was as cool as if no one lived there.
Gu Minghui pushed the door and looked at Gu Mingchen reading by the window. There were many booklets on the table, and awl was placed on his right hand. In the fragrance of books all over the room, it seemed out of place.
Gu Minghui knew how to use this thing, and her eyes couldn't help but feel wet, and she felt sorry for her brother.
But what can I do? In the past, they always wanted to learn things secretly, so they naturally could not compare to others. Now that they have the opportunity to study openly, they have to work hard.
"Brother." Rubbed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, so that there was nothing wrong with his face.
Gu Mingchen was reading the book seriously, and suddenly there was a movement. He was shocked and trembled. He turned around and looked at his two sisters. His face calmed down. He held the book on the table and pushed the wheelbarrow to turn around, "How are you two coming?"
While speaking, he spoke loudly and explained to the people below and gave them tea.
Everyone in the mansion knew that Gu Mingchen had worked hard and had no major issues to alarm him. Now that the two sisters came here in person, it was also thought that something was wrong, so Gu Mingchen put the book aside.
Gu Minghui didn't delay and delivered the post to Gu Mingchen, "Brother, do you want to meet me?"
Gu Mingchen took the post, but there was no change in his face. He just held the post and his hand tightened his clench.
Seeing him like this, Gu Minghui opened her mouth to persuade her, but Gu Yaoyao next to her patted her. When Gu Minghui turned her head, Gu Yaoyao shook her head slightly at her.
Gu Minghui pursed her lips tightly and had to give up.
After a long time, Gu Mingchen's hand holding the post slowly released, and a sigh came from his lips, "See."
Then, put the post lightly by the table.
Gu Mingchen agreed to meet someone, so the servant outside was naturally moving quickly.
To be continued...
