Chapter 644: The Gu Family Boy
Gu Wenheng stayed in the private room with He Gaofei and the other two for more than two hours.
What exactly did they talk about? Outsiders couldn't find out.
It just lets everyone know that Gu Wenheng has accumulated some connections without realizing it.

On the day of the trip, the ancient mansion's convoy stopped at the Shili Changting.
I thought I would leave quietly, but I didn't expect so many people to be waiting to see me off at the pavilion.
Among the three people, He Gaofei and He Nan came with their husband and wife.
There are also Madam Cao, and the second son and wife of Tutor Niu.
After everyone said goodbye, the convoy slowly moved forward.
When it was out of sight, everyone said goodbye and left.
"You got up so early in the morning, lean back for a while and rest your mind." Gu Wenheng saw the fatigue in Jin Qianqian's eyes and helped her take off the pearl hairpin on her head.
Because she had to hurry, Jin Qianqian tried to keep the jewelry on her head simple.
"You should also take a rest. Reading while the carriage is moving is not good for your eyes." Jin Qianqian put the book he placed on the table into the cabinet.
For this trip, as the journey was long, they requisitioned all the existing carriages in the mansion. If there was enough space, they drove the maids into the carriage at the back. This was also a rare space for them to be alone outside.
Without outsiders, Gu Wenheng felt much more at ease.
He leaned against Jin Qianqian and said, "There is still some time to rest at the next stop, so you can sleep peacefully!"
Jin Qianqian put her arms around his waist and said, "It'll take more than a month to get there. If you sleep like this, you'll probably be a lot fatter by the time you get there."
Gu Wenheng patted her back and said, "What are you afraid of with your few pounds of flesh? It's okay to gain some weight."
Jin Qianqian propped up her arms and looked at him, "My dear husband, did you misunderstand? I'm talking about you. Feel the fat around your waist. If it gets bigger, it will be as big as a pregnant woman in those few months."
Gu Wenheng looked down at his waist and said, "I've been so busy these days that I forgot to exercise. Wife, do you dislike me?"
As he said this, he looked at Jin Qianqian with an aggrieved look on his face, "I'm really too busy. I don't even have time to exercise. You can't look down on me."
Jin Qianqian stretched out her hand and pinched his face. "You are thick-skinned now, but you should show your two sons how cute you are. They can hardly catch up with you."
Gu Wenheng hugged him tighter, "Sure enough, now, in your mind, I am no longer the most important person.
All I talk about is those two brats. My status is really declining."
"You're so old, but you're jealous of your son." Jin Qianqian smiled and leaned her head closer to his shoulder. "You're indeed father and son. The two kids are even arguing about riding in the same carriage with me. I want to trade seats with you."
Gu Wenheng laughed and said, "When we stop to rest at the next stop, we should give them more homework to prevent them from being too energetic and causing trouble."
Jin Qianqian yawned, "Don't make too much of a fuss, they are still growing..."
Watching Jin Qianqian gradually falling asleep, Gu Wenheng pulled the quilt over her, covered her with it, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
As for the two children who had been forgotten by them, they were also lying in the carriage, their little faces flushed with sleep.

The Gu family members who came along this time were arranged in the two carriages at the back.
Gu Lexi snatched the book from Gu Leshun and said, "I told you to wait until you stop to read it. If you hurt your eyes by then, it will be too late to regret."
Gu Leshun smiled shyly and did not try to grab the book. "I just feel a little bored. If Brother Lexi feels bored, then let's chat."
"What do you think he will do for us if we follow Uncle Seven to take up his post?"
Le Shun shook his head. "I really don't know about that, but as the teacher said, it's always good to learn more."
Gu Leping leaned against the carriage, crossed his legs, and said, "Anyway, my father has told me that when we get there, we will listen to Uncle Seventh in everything.
My brain is not as good as yours, and I can't read books. I don't expect to have any great future. He is satisfied that I can follow Uncle Qi and broaden his horizons. "
Gu Lekai said, "How about we go and ask together when we stop?"
The other brothers shook their heads, "We don't dare, why don't you go."
Gu Lekai said, "Then what do you think we should do? Everyone has something to do along the way, but we are the least busy.
If we don’t dare to go, then the people behind us will be even less so.”
Gu Lekai was talking about the members of the Gu family who were riding in the carriage behind. They were all young men. No matter how lively they were in the village, they had been staying there quietly these days.
"How about we go together later?" Gu Lexi glanced at the brothers in the car, "It's too tiring to keep guessing like this.
If we go together, we won't be scared, right?"
Gu Lekai said, "Yes, let's go together, and it's better to invite the people behind us as well.
My father said that the law does not punish everyone, so it is right for everyone to act together and bear the responsibility together."
Gu Yuanshui didn't know that his son had turned around and sold him out.
"Then let's call them over when we take a break?"
"It's settled then..."

Seeing the row of boys appearing in front of him, Gu Wenheng smiled.
His face was serious, "What's wrong with you? Is it because the people below didn't take good care of you?"
"No, not at all," Gu Lexi, as the eldest of these brothers, was naturally pushed to the front.
At first, he still mustered up the courage, but when he got in front of Gu Wenheng, he suddenly couldn't speak.
"Since I didn't take good care of you, then you should find the person in charge and punish them directly based on who is responsible."
"No..." Gu Lexi almost bit his tongue and could only look at the brothers behind him for help.
Gu Lekai could only bite the bullet and go ahead. "The people below are taking good care of us. We feel that we are too old to let others take care of us anymore. Besides, we can also help with some things."
Gu Wenheng, "Is this your idea, or everyone's idea?"
Gu Lekai said, "This is our common idea. Seeing everyone busy along the way, we felt embarrassed to just sit there and do nothing.
Uncle Qi, our family sent us out to work and learn things, not to enjoy ourselves. Just tell us what you want to do. We are not afraid of hardship or fatigue."
Hearing that someone had finally made himself clear, the Gu family members behind him all nodded.
Gu Wenheng looked at them seriously and said, "Since you have such an idea, I will find someone to assign the task to you later.
Since you have taken the initiative to take on the task, the next step is to do what you are supposed to do well.
If you regret it, it's not too late.
When the matter comes to your hands, if you still don’t do it well, I will punish you.”
The young men of the Gu family nodded quickly and said that they would definitely do as they were told.
