Chapter 321 322. Found Uncle Seven and Aunt Seven
Jin Qianqian massaged his temples and said, "I think a lot of people are nervous today. You should try to keep a low profile for the next few days."
Gu Wenheng hummed, "You have postponed all the banquets that can be held during this period, right?"
They all knew about the various in-law relationships in Shangjing, and Gu Wenheng was reluctant to let Jin Qianqian go to the doorstep and cause trouble for others.
Jin Qianqian patted his back and didn't say anything. After all, some banquets cannot be postponed at will.
As soon as Gu Lehuan walked out of the door, he suppressed his excitement and followed Sanhua back to the pawnshop. Of course, he also took the servants who accompanied them to deliver gifts with him.
Before Xu Nuo had time to ask why this trip took so long, Gu Lehuan had already left in a hurry with his men.
"What's going on?" Xu Nuo looked at the banknotes and contracts in front of him and could only turn around and ask Sanhua.
Sanhua, "..."

Gu Lehuan and the servants who followed him pushed open the wooden door, only to see that it was pitch black inside. No one responded even after they called out several times.
"They may have gone out for something, so just put the things aside! Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Lehuan quickly pointed to a corner. After all, it was almost dark, and he couldn't let them carry the things all the time.
"Then Master Huan, we will go back first." Xu Dawang looked around the house secretly and had to report to Butler Fu when he returned.
"Okay, you guys go back," Gu Lehuan replied absentmindedly, before he recovered from the address of "Young Master Huan".
When Gu Yuanmu and the others arrived home, they saw Gu Lehuan sitting at the door in a daze.
"You don't even bother to cook before coming back. You're waiting for me to do everything." Wang Caiyue's face immediately fell. She had been going out to cook for the foreman these days, and she didn't want to go home and face the boiler again.
"Dad, Mom, you're here." Gu Lehuan jumped up, his face full of excitement.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If we don't come back, what are we?" Wang Caiyue shook her head and wanted to enter the next room, but this time her eyes glanced at the pile of things in the corner.
"What are these?"
"Dad, Mom, I found Uncle Seven and the others." Gu Lehuan shouted excitedly.
"Really? Where are they?" Gu Yuanmu covered his chest and grinned happily, "Are your grandfather and the others together as well?"
"So what if they find it?" Wang Caiyue glared at them unhappily. Life had just gotten a little better, and they wouldn't be bothered by that big family, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Caiyue's face became even uglier, "You won't tell him where our family is now, right?
There are only two rooms like this. How can we accommodate our family?
This good time has only lasted for two days..."
Gu Lehuan knew that she would continue to nag, so she raised her voice and said, "Seventh Uncle is the new top scholar this time. He lives in a big house now, and he has many servants."
"Are you kidding me? Your seventh uncle could be the top scholar..." Wang Caiyue said, and suddenly covered her mouth. "I remember that everyone was saying that the new top scholar's surname was Gu. I was saying that he has the same surname as you, but he is not blessed to have such a relative. Could it be that he is really your seventh uncle?"
Gu Lehuan looked at the stunned Gu Lexi and said, "It's Uncle Qi, look, these are the gifts Aunt Qi sent me. He also asked us to meet at his mansion tomorrow afternoon."
Wang Caiyue's hands were quicker than her mouth. She had just started to open the package while she was still asking what it was.
Looking at the boxes of cakes and some cloth, Wang Caiyue exclaimed, "It seems that Old Seven has really become rich. No, I remember the name of the new champion is not Gu Yuanyu, otherwise I would have come to recognize him long ago."
Gu Yuanmu, "Yuan Yu is the name our mother gave him. Those scholars all use Chinese characters. It was originally given by the old scholar. I think his name is Wen Heng."
"Gu Wenheng, Gu Wenheng," Wang Caiyue suddenly clapped her hands, "That's the name. Look at my memory. I thought the name sounded familiar when I heard it. I didn't expect that we are from the same family.
It has been nearly two months since the last parade of top scholars. We have suffered two more months this time."
Gu Yuanmu, "It's a good thing that the seventh son won the first place in the imperial examination, but don't forget, we have already separated, can he still support us?
You silly woman, you should work harder and save enough money for your son to marry a wife sooner."
"This kid, his seventh uncle is already so capable, what's wrong with him giving him a hand?
You are such a blockhead. If you are too embarrassed to say it, I will say it for you. It is not good for your uncle to be an official while your brothers are still working odd jobs. It will not sound good if it gets out."
The more Wang Caiyue thought about it, the more excited she became. She felt uncomfortable looking at all the objects in the house. They were really not worthy of the official family's status.
"Your Seventh Uncle is really something. He should just let us move in and live with him instead of going through all the trouble of sending us gifts.
Let's not wait until tomorrow to visit, we are all family, let's just move in tonight and make do with it."
The three Gu family members looked at her coldly. Gu Lexi said, "Mom, we have already separated, and shouldn't we ask grandpa and grandma if they are also in the mansion?"
Gu Yuanmu quickly grabbed Gu Lehuan and said, "Yes, where are your grandparents? Have you seen them? Are they okay?"
Gu Lehuan, "My grandparents are not in Beijing, they are living in the resettlement village."
"Why, the couple of Lao Qi are so unfilial, now that they are rich, they don't even bring their parents to live with them."
Wang Caiyue was slapped in the face just as she finished speaking, and her head tilted to the side, "Don't forget, our family has split up and is living separately. Parents have said that no one will follow us, and all we need to do is give money as a tribute every year.
Besides, I am the second oldest, so even if it is my turn, it won’t be the seventh oldest’s turn.”
"..." Wang Caiyue covered her face and dared not say anything, but she muttered in her heart that Gu Yuanmu was relying on his brothers' success and his temper had worsened.
Gu Yuanmu grabbed Gu Lehuan and asked him some details. He knew that his parents had settled down in Daocheng where they came from and did not have to travel a long distance back to their hometown. He breathed a sigh of relief. This was good. He would have the chance to see his parents and brothers again.
Gu Lexi was more curious about his seventh uncle who was the top scholar in the imperial examination, and kept asking about everything in the mansion.
However, Gu Lehuan was led to the side hall as soon as he entered the door. He did not dare to look around along the way. How could he know what was going on in the mansion?
He could only describe the scene of Jin Qianqian being surrounded by servants, and the shock of seeing Gu Wenheng appear before him in an official robe.
The father and son became more and more fascinated as they talked, as if they had witnessed the scene with their own eyes.
Wang Caiyue directly opened the several gift packages that were sent to her. All the food and daily necessities were there, but there was no trace of silver. She was sure that these things were arranged by the seventh brother's wife.
"What use are these things?" Wang Caiyue complained in a low voice. Could it be that a sixth-rank official in the Zhuangyuan Mansion could produce such things?
