Chapter 380: Are You the Baby of Gu Changqing's Family?
Gu Chengyu sent Ye Zhiqiu back to the Ye family before returning to the Gu Mansion.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the house, I heard Ming Yan's surprised voice, "My lord! You see, is that the one who often wanders around in front of the house? ”
As soon as Ming Yan drove the carriage to the gate of the Gu Mansion, he saw a man standing at the gate, looking towards the Gu Mansion. The eyes that looked up and down, left and right, how strange it looked.
When Gu Chengyu heard this, he also opened the curtain and looked out.
Sure enough, there was a man about fifty years old standing in front of the house. The man was dressed in a collared indigo short brown, the material was old, slightly faded, but there were no patches.
Gu Chengyu just glanced at the man's clothes, and then set his eyes on the man's face. At this glance, I felt that the man was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
But Gu Chengyu has a good memory, if he has seen it, he should be able to remember who it is. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
It's not like I've seen it, I think he looks very similar to that person. Lowering the curtain of the carriage, Gu Chengyu thought about it in his heart.
This man stood in front of Gu's father's door, looking at this high-ranking family, could it be that he was really talking about this family? But the family had carriages in and out, and he could not see the face of the master, and he could not be sure.
Besides, there are big families all around, and he just wants to find someone to inquire, but he can't inquire. The servant woman of the next door often came out to buy, but it was a dog's eye and a low thing, and when she saw him so poor, she didn't even want to pay attention to him, and rolled her eyes at him, and went straight away.
Therefore, he had been wandering in front of this mansion for a few days, and he did not dare to come forward to ask, for fear of making a mistake. But he had made up his mind now, and he must come forward and ask.
He has seen this carriage coming in and out every day for the past two days, and it should be the master's house in this house. The porter opened the door of the west corner, and Ming Yan was about to enter with the carriage. He glanced at the porter and chin at the man.
The porter looked over there, and the man came again. He immediately understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the man.
Who would have thought, this man didn't seem to plan to leave today, and stayed where he was. Seeing that the porter was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and finally shouted: "Dare to ask the master's family, but are you from Shanhe Town, Jingyuan Prefecture?" ”
As soon as Gu Chengyu, who was sitting in the carriage, heard it, he knew that this man must be the man. It seems that this is looking for the capital, but why not to Shangling Village, but to the capital?
The foundation and ancestral land of the Gu family are in Shangling Village, and there are only him and Gu Wanqian in the capital, this person's purpose is a little impure, and how did he find this person?
Anyway, since the other party asked, Gu Chengyu couldn't ignore it. If you don't handle it carefully and are exploited by those imperial histories, it will be a big trouble.
Ming Yan stopped the carriage and looked back. The adults of his family are naturally from Shanhe Town, Jingyuan Prefecture, and I don't know who this person is, is it a neighbor? Ming Yan thought about it carefully and found that he had never seen this person.
Not to mention the Gu clan, Ming Yan had seen every one of them, and he was sure that there was no such person in the Gu clan.
"My lord! You see? Ming Yan was a little undecided, and he asked Gu Chengyu in the carriage.
"Command the steward to bring the man into the hall of the outer court, and I will go there in a moment." Gu Chengyu closed his eyes and thought about this person's purpose in his heart, hoping that it would not be a big trouble.
Ming Yan is a little strange, do adults know this person? He gave a command to the porter, and drove the carriage into the corner gate.
"Huh? Wait a minute! The man still wanted to stop the carriage, and if he let it in, wouldn't he run again in vain?
"This lord, don't panic, our lord invites you to go to the house to talk." The porter did not look down on the man because he was poorly dressed, but he was a guest that the lord of his family had ordered to see.
Besides, the foreign steward of the house has repeatedly instructed that no matter who comes to the door, the number of courtesies is indispensable. If the dog looks down on people, once discovered, it will be severely punished.
The man was shocked, this was to let him in? Did the man in the carriage recognize him? There is also a porter called the adult, he has not heard any news in the past few days, the adult may be the Gu family, but who is the official of the Gu family? He couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart, he hadn't gone back for many years, and the Gu family was developed.
The porter told him to rest at the corner gate, and he went to call the steward of the outer court.
Gu Chengyu returned to his courtyard and put down the official uniform on his body. Since Ji Furui was sent away, he moved back to his yard. After all, the house in the front yard is smaller than the inner yard, and it is not comfortable to live in.
The inner courtyard is a separate small courtyard, and there is a study next to the bedroom, which also saves him from having to go to the outer study every morning to practice calligraphy, which is inconvenient.
Lichun hurriedly stepped forward to take Gu Chengyu's official uniform and hung it up, and handed Gu Chengyu a round-necked robe with white embroidered bamboo leaf trim, Gu Chengyu took it and put it on, making Lichun want to step forward and wait for the dressing steps, and then turned around and handed over the purse and other things.
Gu Chengyu couldn't help but sigh, it was better for a woman to be careful. It's not that they don't serve Mingmo well, on the contrary, they are also very attentive. But men are no more careful than women after all.
Lichun takes good care of the house, and he is also very discerning about the matching of clothes and accessories, and he is careful and fast, Gu Chengyu is still satisfied with these points.
Gu Chengyu came to the outer courtyard with Mingmo, and Steward Chen immediately greeted him, "My lord! The people were already waiting in the hall. ”
Gu Chengyu nodded and walked towards the hall. As soon as he entered the door, he found the man sitting in a precarious position, not daring to move at all, and at the same time staring blankly at the ground.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man looked up and saw that it was a noble young man, and he hurriedly stood up from the circle chair.
Gu Chengyu didn't speak, and sat down directly on the top. Keeping his eyes on the man, he looked at him a few times, and the sharp gaze overwhelmed the man.
"Are you a child of Gu Changqing's family?" The man hesitated, but still opened his mouth.
"I wonder who you are? What is the relationship with the Gu family? Gu Chengyu didn't answer him directly, but asked about the man's origin.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's indifferent attitude, the man beat a drum in his heart, and he said stiffly: "Gu Changqing is my younger brother, and my name is Gu Changbai." ”
As soon as these words came out, Mingmo was startled. The second uncle of the Gu family, who had never met before, actually appeared, and he also found the capital? It's strange how you look at this. If you want to find your relatives, shouldn't you go back to your hometown first? After all, there are the most Gu family members there, could it be that they happen to be in the capital?
"You said you are Gu Changbai, what proof do you have?"
Of course, Gu Chengyu could see that he was Gu Changbai, but Gu Changbai came so strangely, he didn't dare to rush up to recognize his relatives. He had never met his second uncle, and he had only heard his father talk a few words. After so many years, who knows what Gu Changbai's character is now?
