"Then I won't care," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Wei, "I'm not someone who likes to meddle in other people's business."
After hearing his princess' words, Xiao Wei suddenly felt thankful.
In the middle of the road, the two younger brothers looked at their eldest brother. He suddenly asked their mother to move out of the house. There must be a reason, right? Don't tell them that the house is too noisy and disturbs their mother's practice of Buddhism. The second and third young masters of Gu didn't believe this reason.
Gu Xingnuo watched Madam Xu disappear before he said to his two younger brothers, "You all know that mother believes in the Eternal Life Temple."
Gu Xingyan said, "She has believed in the Temple of Eternal Life for a long time. Just for this, brother, are you going to ask mother to move out of the house?"
"This is good for mother," Gu Xingnuo said, "Second brother, are you still worried that I will be unfilial?"
Even the emperor couldn't bear the charge of being unfilial, so how could Gu Xingyan let his eldest brother bear this charge? The second young master Gu hurriedly said, "I just said one word, why are you so anxious?"
"Just take good care of your grandfather," said Young Master Gu, "as for your mother, don't worry about her."
Gu Xingyan said: "Brother, I never worry about family matters, but I think mother doesn't want to."
Gu Xingnuo frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Gu Xingyan remained silent. Boss Gu's expression basically indicated that he was on the verge of getting angry.
Gu Xinglang waited until Gu Xingyan was defeated before he said, "Brother, did something happen?"
Gu Xingnuo raised his hand and touched his younger brother's head.
Gu Xinglang..., his elder brother always likes to touch his head recently, what's going on?
"So many things have happened recently, which one do you want me to talk about?" Young Master Gu asked Gu Xinglang with a smile.
Young Master Gu squinted at the smile on his eldest brother's face. Did he see it? What is differential treatment? This is it! His eldest brother basically had a cold face when he saw him, but he would smile like a flower when he saw Xiao San'er.
Gu Xinglang thought about what had happened recently. They had confronted the Eternal Life Temple, so his elder brother had to send their mother out of the house? "Brother..."
"Are you also worried that I will be unfilial?" Gu Xingnuo didn't even give Gu Xinglang a chance to speak, and asked with a smile.
Gu Xinglang also shook his head.
"I'm going to see my grandfather," Young Master Gu touched Young Master Gu's head again, glanced at Young Master Gu who was standing beside him, and then walked away in anger.
Seeing their eldest brother leaving, the two younger brothers stared at each other.
Gu Ershao said: "Something must have happened."
Gu Sanshao said: "Then second brother, go ask mother."
Young Master Gu smiled. Should he ask? He only greeted his own mother once a year. What could he possibly find out? "Why don't you ask?" Young Master Gu asked his brother.
Gu Xinglang hesitated. He was brought up in the army by his grandfather and two brothers since he was a child. The longest time he had spent with Madam Xu was in recent times. Young Master Gu thought about it and found that he didn't know how to talk to his mother.
"Why are they both silent?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Wei while squatting behind the flower bed.
Xiao Wei said: "The eldest brother is like a father, the Prince Consort and the Second Young Master will not disobey the First Young Master."
"Five what?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
"Disobedience," Xiao Wei said the word again.
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei and said, "Don't bully illiterate people."
Xiao Wei didn't even bother to twitch his lips, and said, "They just don't listen. I mean, the Prince Consort and the Second Young Master won't disobey the First Young Master."
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and understood. It seemed that in the Gu family, Brother Gu was the one who was in charge.
Xiao Wei said, "Princess, do we still have to squat here?" Xiao Wei himself couldn't figure out why he had to squat here with Yu Xiaoxiao to eavesdrop on the conversation between the three brothers of the Prince Consort's family.
Yu Xiao: "How much do you think it will cost to rebuild the kitchen?"
Xiao Wei grabbed a handful of dead leaves in his hand. The topic changed too quickly.
The old man was sitting in the bedroom. The family of generals was not very particular about etiquette, so the old man had breakfast in the bedroom. When Gu Xingnuo walked into the old man's bedroom, the empty dishes beside the old man had not been taken away by the servants.
"How are Xinglang and the princess?" the old man asked as soon as he saw his eldest grandson.
"They're fine," Gu Xingnuo stood in front of the old man.
"Sit down," the old man motioned for Gu Xingnuo to sit down, and said, "How about your injury?"
"It's an injury that can be healed with some rest. It's not a big deal." Gu Xingnuo found an empty chair and sat down. He said to the old man, "There was a problem with the stove in the small kitchen in Xinglang Courtyard. The fire has been put out now. Everyone in the courtyard is fine."
When the old man heard that there was something wrong with the stove, he thought it was just a small matter. "It's good that no one was hurt," he said, "ask someone to build another one for the princess."
"Yes," Gu Xingnuo said, "My grandson has already asked the housekeeper to do it. Grandfather, I have one more thing to tell you."
Young Master Gu told the old man about how they went to Huixin Bank last night, how Yu Xiaoxiao went to Zhao's house to frame someone, and how the second in command carried the real Miss Zhao home. As for their fight with Mo Wen, Young Master Gu didn't say anything. The old man had lived a tough life, believed that life and death were determined by fate, and didn't believe in immortality. But the old man was old after all, and Young Master Gu didn't want him to worry about it.
The old man sat and thought about what his eldest grandson had said for a full half cup of tea.
Gu Xingnuo was not in a hurry and sat waiting for the old man's instructions.
After the old man sorted out the matter in his mind, he took a deep breath. Who did his two grandchildren borrow the courage from? How come the eldest and the third child dare to do anything now? The second child who used to cause trouble all day long has become the one who is least worried.
"Grandfather," Gu Xingnuo saw that the old man had reacted, and then he said, "I'll leave the matter of the manor to Xingyan. With the money, Lao Wu and the others can still live their lives as usual. In addition, I have sent people out to buy food. Grandfather and Xingyan can take more food and grass tomorrow."
The old man didn't say anything. His eldest grandson had arranged everything. What else could he say?
"There's one more thing," Gu Xingnuo said again.
The old man is trembling with fear. What else?
Young Master Gu said slowly, "My mother wants to move out of the house."
"What?" the old man cried.
"Mother wants to devote herself to Buddhism," Young Master Gu said when he came to the old man, "I just happened to have a secluded house that can fulfill Mother's wish."
"You," the old man said, "are you going to kick your mother out of the house?" Isn't the eldest brother afraid of being criticized by the world and scolded to death for being unfilial?
Gu Xingnuo smiled and said, "How dare I? Mother wants to go, and I have made plans to turn that house into our Gu family's private nunnery. This way, Mother's wish will come true, and we three brothers won't be afraid of being criticized by the world."
"Did Xu really come up with this idea herself?" the old man asked in disbelief.
"Yes," Young Master Gu nodded affirmatively.
