Chapter 334 335. Homecoming
Liu Liu looked at their attire and said, "It seems that my second brother's family has become prosperous outside. This outfit is quite stylish."
Gu Yuanmu pulled at the clothes on his body. These were all sent by the seventh brother's wife. The pile of tattered clothes he wore before were all thrown away by Wang Caiyue.
"We met the seventh brother, and he told me his home address, so we came here." Gu Yuanmu looked at his fourth brother's wife, who was dressed in new clothes and had a little girl behind them. He couldn't help feeling a little inferior. It seemed that among the brothers, he was the one who had the worst life.
Wang Caiyue looked at her sister-in-law with sparkling eyes. She couldn't compare to Jin Qianqian, the official's wife, but she couldn't be inferior to Liu, right?
You have to talk to your mother later and ask her to arrange a maid for you.
Thinking of this, his eyes fixed on the girls at the door, wondering who should take care of him personally.
When Liu Liu heard that it was Gu Wenheng who brought the people back, he guessed where Gu Yuanmu's family had been before.
She looked directly at Mrs. Song, "Mammy, have you asked someone to invite my mother?"
Mrs. Song, "We are just about to send someone to go. Madam, would you like to go in and wait first?"
Liu Liu, "Of course. Don't forget to have someone notify the brothers to come over. You go ahead and do your work. They are all our brothers. I will take care of them."
Mrs. Song glanced at them, then knelt down and retreated.
The big news of Gu Yuanmu's return soon alarmed the entire village. After some greetings, even the old patriarch remained silent about the resettlement of this family.
As the eldest brother, Gu Yuanjin could only stand up and speak, "We have nowhere to stay for the time being. The two old houses of eldest brother have not been demolished yet. You and your family can settle there first."
During this period, he also built a small courtyard for each of the two boys, allowing them to live there on their own.
As for the old house, they wanted to leave that piece of land to the eldest son who has not returned home yet, and wait until they have free time to work on it. Now they can only let the second son and his family move in first and then wait and see.
"Why don't we just live with mom and save ourselves the trouble." Wang Caiyue looked at the big tiled house. How could she be willing to live in any so-called old house?
Li Cuicui immediately frowned and said, "This is what you brothers built to show your filial piety to me and your father. Don't be fooled by the size of this house, there is no spare room.
Besides, you have all separated from your families, so it’s not appropriate for you to live together with me.”
"Isn't there a main room? It's just sitting there anyway..."
"Shut up," Li Cuicui stood up impatiently, "Since you're complaining about this and that, just go build a thatched hut for yourself. That's how we all got through that time."
Wang Caiyue saw that her mother-in-law was angry, so she pursed her lips and dared not say anything.
Gu Yuanmu immediately stood up and thanked his brother, "Brother, we will return the house to you after we settle down."
Gu Yuanjin nodded at him, "There's no rush for these things, take your time.
But you should get your household registration settled first. It’s been a long time since we settled here, and we’ve started paying taxes this year. You may not have a share of the land you were allocated before. You can go to the county town to ask around. If that doesn’t work, buy two pieces of wasteland and save money slowly.”
Seeing so many family members here, Gu Yuanmu felt much more at ease and other things could be sorted out slowly.
Li Cuicui, however, held one of her grandsons' hands in each hand, touched the calluses on their hands, and sighed silently, "It's good that you're back. From now on, our family will be together."
Only Xie Ruyi, who was standing aside, felt a little disappointed. Everyone had returned, so why hadn’t the boss seen anyone yet?

Gu Wenheng once again stepped into the Hanlin Academy, and despite everyone's strange looks, he walked towards his seat without looking away.
He Nan saw Gu Wenheng, who had disappeared for a while, finally returned. He approached quietly with a handful of files in his arms.
"Have all the affairs in the palace been dealt with?" He Nan felt a little guilty when he thought that he was the fuse.
Gu Wenheng, "Well, have you settled all those accounts?"
He Nan was full of gratitude, "It's all done, but because of me, you have been trapped in the palace for a while, and you have suffered."
Gu Wenheng glanced at him and asked, "Do you really feel guilty?"
He Nan nodded.
Gu Wenheng made a gesture, "I remember there is a kind of flower wine in your mansion. If you take a sip every day, it can improve your complexion. It only takes two wine jars."
"You are taking advantage of the situation," He Nan's eyes widened. "Our family only produces a dozen or so tanks a year. You are asking for too much."
Gu Wenheng leaned forward and said, "I don't want your 100-year-old ginseng for nothing."
He Nan immediately grabbed his arm, "Really?"
Gu Wenheng nodded. If Jin Qianqian had not praised it repeatedly at the previous gatherings and her hands and feet were not as cold as before, Gu Wenheng would not have been willing to exchange the precious medicinal materials for the flower wine.
"If it's really a hundred-year-old ginseng, I'll give you four jars. When do you think you can go and get it?" You know, although it's flower wine, there are a lot of things added to it. If he gives you four jars, Gu Wenheng can make a lot of money.
Gu Wenheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Does your family urgently need medicinal herbs?"
He Nan sighed, "My grandmother has been relying on medicine to keep her health going for the past two years. If we had this hundred-year-old ginseng, the doctors in the mansion would be able to prescribe a few more life-extending prescriptions."
Their entire family has been looking for hundred-year-old ginseng for a while, but they didn't expect that they were so lucky to get it right away.
Gu Wenheng, "You can come with me when we get back later. You can take the medicine first. As for the wine, I'll have someone bring it over when I'm free."
"Brother, I don't need to thank you for your kindness. Let's see what happens later." He Nan gestured to him to look at those scrutinizing eyes. "There have been some sour words these days. You don't have to take it too seriously. They are just sour."
Gu Wenheng: "..." I'm afraid they will be jealous in the future.
Hua Shunming felt very happy when he saw the national treasury suddenly becoming full. With the help of the little calculation experts trained by Gu Wenheng, he was able to settle all the accounts in the shortest time possible.
Now that everything has been sorted out, Hua Shunming naturally thought of the biggest contributor this time.
Thinking of what Queen Zhou had been nagging in his ears these days, that Gu Wenheng was his elder brother-in-law's savior, he would send any good food to Gu Wenheng, who was teaching in the palace.
He had not received any of these treatments from the Queen. Although he felt a little sad, after all, it was Gu Wenheng who saved the Zhou family's incense.
As an emperor, he cannot just not show some expression.
After all, his elder brother-in-law was a powerful general whom he could use quite easily. Not long after arriving in Beijing, he sent him out to suppress bandits.
With this achievement, he simply wrote an imperial edict for promotion and it arrived at the Hanlin Academy unexpectedly.
