Chapter 703: Inferiority
The treasure ship stopped at the small fishing village, and the Gu family had already built a temporary dock.
The crew on the ship were skilled in laying the bridge planks.
Gu Qingcheng stood at the front of the pier, the sea breeze blowing gently, ruffling her hair and skirt.
The little girl, who had reached the age of coming of age, was still a little immature, but she was already stunningly beautiful.
Her clothes fluttered and her temperament was elegant, like a flying fairy.
Gu Yi and Xiao Shi couldn't believe their eyes.
In the past nine years, Gu Heng has been telling them in his letters: "Aqing seems to have grown up!"
"Ah Qing has become beautiful again!"
"Ah Qing is becoming more and more like her great-grandmother—"
However, without seeing it with their own eyes, Mr. and Mrs. Gu Yi had no way of imagining what their daughter had become.
As the biological daughter of Empress Shengde, Xiao was naturally deeply impressed by the "grandmother" mentioned by Gu Heng.
Even Gu Yi remembered his mother-in-law's unparalleled beauty.
only--
They simply could not imagine that their daughter with blond hair and dark complexion could have any resemblance to the beautiful Empress Shengde.
"Father is the elder—"
When elders look at their beloved younger generations, they always have a thick filter of family affection.
Even Mr. and Mrs. Gu Yi knew that their little daughter was ugly, but in their hearts, Aqing was still the cutest and smartest little girl in the world!
Therefore, Gu Yi and others did not quite believe what Gu Heng said in the letter about Aqing's appearance.
I just thought that Gu Heng was an elder and his filter was too thick, so he lied with his eyes open.
But at this moment, everyone saw Gu Qingcheng, who was both strange and familiar, and completely believed what Gu Heng said.
"Father is not exaggerating. Qing has really, really 'grown up.'"
This is Gu Yi, who has always been dignified and steady.
"Like! Really like! Ah Qing is just like what the adults said, she looks exactly like the Queen Mother!"
Xiao felt a sense of emotion as reality and memory overlapped.
"Oh my god, this is what Sanniang looks like when she grows up. She looks like both her father and her mother!"
This is the third son of the Gu family, Gu An, Gu Qingcheng’s second brother.
He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, had a beard, and looked quite mature.
He is ten years older than Gu Qingcheng and has almost watched his younger sister being born and growing up.
In his memory, his little sister was just an ugly but cute little girl.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Second brother, are you polite?
When he left Jiankang, Gu An had already gotten married. He felt distressed and worried about his younger sister who insisted on following his grandfather into exile.
In the past few years, although the brother and sister have not been able to meet, Gu An has always written letters to his sister and sent her various rare little things.
The relationship between the brother and sister did not become cold because of the long separation.
Because they have been communicating, Gu An knows how his sister has grown, and can also feel her "growth" between the lines! "No! Aqing looks more like my grandmother!"
The person who spoke was the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Yong, Gu Qingcheng's biological elder brother.
He is already twenty-nine years old this year and is about to enter his thirties.
And he is indeed stable enough.
He has an exquisite jade-like face, beautiful beard under his chin, and a moon-white robe with wide sleeves. He is a gentle gentleman, like a banished immortal.
He is the eldest son of the Gu family, shouldering the family's mission and burden.
During the years in the Northern Dynasties, his talent and reputation spread far and wide, and his career went smoothly.
However, compared to Gu Qingcheng's ambition, Gu Yong is more suitable for "maintaining the status quo".
He is not a pioneering talent, but a true heir to a noble family.
The best part is that Gu Yong is rational and sober.
As early as several years ago, the elders in the family began to support Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Yong was not too jealous or resentful about this.
Logically, he is the heir of the Gu family and the future head of the Gu family.
Even if the Gu family has ideas, they should fully support him.
But Gu Yong knew his own limitations.
He knew that he could be a perfect head of a family, and a powerful minister, but he could never be the king of a country! He had ambitions, but there was still a gap compared to Gu Qingcheng.
Furthermore, those who achieve great things must not only have ambition, but also have the ability to match it.
Gu Yong could only be an excellent minister in the Northern Dynasty.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
On the other hand, Gu Qingcheng has built up a foundation in the wild Lingnan.
There is no comparison! There is really no comparison! Besides, Gu Yong positioned himself as the head of the Gu family.
This does not conflict with the Gu family's support for Gu Qingcheng in her quest for supremacy in the world.
Putting aside the interests of the family and considering personal feelings alone, Gu Yong would be more willing to support Gu Qingcheng.
This is his biological sister, and the little cutie he once taught personally.
As the eldest brother, and nearly fifteen years older than Gu Qingcheng, Gu Yong treats his younger sister almost like a daughter.
Gu Yong had also felt sad, worried, and distressed because of his younger sister's appearance.
So, when he first learned from his father that his younger sister had ambitions to conquer the world, Gu Yong was surprised, but then he felt inexplicably relieved.
That’s fine!
As long as I stand at the pinnacle of power, no one dares to comment on my appearance!
Furthermore, as the heir of the Gu family, Gu Yong knew about the plan that his father, uncle and others had planned to form an alliance with the Yuwen clan when they came to the Northern Dynasty.
At that time, the Gu family had just arrived and needed an ally.
Later, it was discovered that Gu Youyi and Yuwen Heng were childhood sweethearts and had a mutual affection for each other, so it seemed natural for the Gu family to support Yuwen Heng.
But, as I said before, Gu Yong is the heir carefully cultivated by the Gu family, and he is a person who puts family first in his bones.
Between Yuwen Heng (cheap brother-in-law) and Gu Qing (Didi's biological sister), Gu Yong chose the latter without hesitation.
Gu Yong was also aware of this return, and helped his father, uncle and others to perfect the plan.
It can be said that even without Chen Duan’s help, the Gu family’s operation in the Northern Dynasty for several years was enough for the Gu family to leave the Northern Dynasty safely.
Of course, if you have the tools, you don’t have to be a fool!
After working hard in the Northern Dynasty, it would be better to save some money! Through Chen Duan's incident, Gu Yi, Gu Ji, Gu Yong and other men in the Gu family were more certain of one thing -
My Ah Qing is indeed a person who can accomplish great things! The Gu family remembers Gu Qing more for her talents and her skills.
However, when they stood in front of Gu Qingcheng and truly saw their Ah Qing, they discovered:
Ah Qing is not only smart and capable, she has become so beautiful! "Father! Mother! Uncle! Big brother! Second brother! Third brother!"
Gu Qingcheng seemed not to notice the astonishment and surprise of the crowd. She knelt down and greeted her relatives one by one.
Gu Yi was the first to react, "Okay! Haha, okay!"
His daughter really became so stunningly beautiful.
Haha, who will dare to mock the Gu family for raising a black crow in their phoenix nest?
In his excitement, Gu Yi did not forget to introduce Mu Xiu: "Ah Qing, this is the Mu Xiu that your father mentioned in the letter to you, Mu Buqi! You can just call him senior brother!"
Mu Xiu: ...Sir, you are lying! I originally thought that Gu Qing was an ugly freak like me.
The fact is——
Mu Xiu couldn't help but feel inferior!
