Before Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu traveled to the modern world, they were already in their forties. After the journey, like Gu Nian, they became ten years younger and are now in their early thirties. It's normal for them to have a child at this age.
Gu Nian and Gu Ren felt that, on the one hand, they wanted to share this joy, and on the other hand, they wanted to reassure the two of them and help them truly integrate into the Gu family!
Gu Qingyuan also mentioned something in the letter that he hadn't mentioned last time because he was too excited.
He has the original owner's memories. He doesn't agree with the original owner's way of doing things, but the original owner was very filial. Even though his parents had passed away, he always kept his father's dying wish in mind: to find his father's uncle, who was his great-uncle, equivalent to Gu Qingyuan's grandfather's brother.
Gu Qingyuan, wanting to share the same surname as the Gu family, planned to have Gu Nian ask the elders in the family if they had ever met anyone with the same surname in Qingzhou.
Before he transmigrated, the original owner had already sent people to search many places in Jiangnan towards the capital, but had not yet searched the several prefectures in the direction of Qingzhou.
He had no hope, but he still asked as a matter of routine.
In the letter, he wrote down his great-uncle's name, how he left home, and the family genealogy records of his great-uncle's appearance, personality, and any physical marks he had.
Gu Nian and Gu Ren felt a sense of familiarity with the name, as if they had seen it before, but where exactly had they met it?
"I've seen it in the family genealogy and on the memorial tablet!" After a while, the siblings said in unison.
So the siblings put away the letter and went to find their grandparents.
"Grandpa, was our great-grandfather named Gu Nansheng?" Gu Nian asked directly.
The elderly couple looked at Gu Nian with puzzlement. "Don't you usually kowtow when you visit graves? Why are you asking?"
"Grandma, did our great-grandfather have six toes?" Gu Nian asked again.
Grandma Gu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Niannian, why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
Gu Nian quickly explained, "No, it's Aunt Peng Wu who asked us to help her find someone. Her husband's family name is Gu. That Mr. Gu's grandfather had a younger brother who left home when he was young. His name was Gu Nansheng. He had six toes and learned martial arts. Because his family didn't want him to be with a girl, he took that girl and left Jiangnan. Mr. Gu's family has been searching for him ever since, but they haven't been able to find him. I remember my father saying that when they were compiling the family genealogy, our great-grandfather's name was Gu Nansheng, and that's the name on the tombstone when we visited his grave. So we came to ask."
Grandma Gu looked calm, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Grandpa Gu asked, "Where is that Lord Gu's ancestral home?"
Gu Nian said, "In Yuntan County, Fuzhou, their ancestors were tea merchants. They declined by the time of Lord Gu's father. Lord Gu lost both his parents when he came of age. After observing mourning, he took the imperial examination and entered officialdom. Now he is the magistrate of Xiaolan County under Suzhou Prefecture."
Grandma Gu: "Who else does he have?"
Gu Nian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that dramatic? "His grandfather only had one son, his father, and he was his only son. When his parents died, he was just over twenty years old. He was tricked and his business fell into the hands of a collateral branch. By the time he realized what had happened, he had severed ties with the Gu family in Fuzhou. He was all alone."
Grandpa Gu sighed and looked at Grandma Gu.
Grandma Gu pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Grandpa Gu waved to the siblings, telling them to go out and play first.
After Gu Nian pulled Gu Ren away, Grandpa Gu hugged Grandma Gu and said softly, "Lanlan, I support whatever you do!"
