He was sincere when he said this, and Old Madam Gu saw it. Then she listened to Gu Shaoyu's calm words.

"Don't worry, Seventh Uncle Grandfather, as long as Shao Yu is here, he will never let the glory of the Gu family be extinguished."

Hearing his words, the Seventh Old Master nodded with satisfaction, a rare expression on his face.

Then he spoke to the person behind him.

"Go, get the account book and key to the warehouse and hand them over to the Patriarch and Shao Yu!"

"Yes, Master."

Hearing this, everyone else's faces looked unhappy. They thought that since this kid had succeeded to the position of head of the family, the Seventh Old Master would be the one making the most trouble. They didn't expect that he would hand over the family seal and the storehouse key so easily.

With such an attitude, even if those people want to say something, they will not be able to speak in a sarcastic manner.

Madam Gu raised her eyes to glance at the Seventh Old Master, then lowered her head to drink tea. Her eyes were full of confusion about his behavior.

She also thought that the matter would not be handed over so quickly. After all, it took her half a year to agree to hand it over. The Seventh Old Master's straightforwardness made her look at him with a bit of awe.

On the contrary, Gu Shaoyu was exceptionally calm when accepting this item.

Gu Yunzhan in his father's arms gradually found it difficult to open his eyelids, so he found a comfortable position in his father's broad arms and fell into a deep sleep.

After feeling his son's even breathing, Gu Shaoyu looked down at him.

The curled eyelashes gently fell under his eyes. At this moment, he was very well-behaved, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, hiding all the fatherly kindness in his heart. Then when he looked up again, he regained his clarity of mind.

"Today is a big day for ancestor worship, why didn't Shao Yu's wife show up?"

The scene hasn't even gotten very heated yet, but someone couldn't help but come forward and cause trouble.

The one who spoke was the third old master of the Gu family. He looked thin and had a slender figure, but his cloudy eyes revealed his attachment to and reluctance to leave the mundane world.

Hearing this, Madam Gu explained calmly.

"Mrs. Du has been feeling a little uncomfortable after the journey, so I decided to let her stay at home to rest. Third brother will take care of this nephew's wife."

Her words, lightly but calmly pointed out the Third Old Master's inappropriate attitude, made his face look a little pale, and then he shut up.

Perhaps it was because when Marshal Gu was alive, he was very strict in disciplining everyone, so although they talked, they didn't dare to really contradict Old Madam Gu, and therefore, the meeting went smoothly.

After having lunch together, they went their separate ways.

Leaving behind Madam Gu and Gu Shaoyu, he returned to the ancestral hall and burned incense again in front of the spirit tablets of Old Marshal Gu and several uncles and cousins.

"Grandfather, rest assured. Since your grandson has recognized you as my ancestor, the Gu family will be my roots in the future. I will definitely ensure that grandma and my aunts and sisters enjoy their old age."

Hearing this, Madam Gu felt a little sour in her nose.

Even though she had been accustomed to this for half a year, when it came time to worship her ancestors, she still felt excited and moved as if reality had come true.

The grandfather and grandson knelt in the ancestral hall for a while and talked a lot. Then Gu Shaoyu helped Madam Gu to get up and walk outside.

Qingshui Town is not far from Jinling City, only a few miles away, so if the carriage is driving fast, it will only take an hour to get there.

Therefore, when they all turned back, Du Jingyi was still taking a nap after taking the medicine.

But Brother Tai was very excited because he had overslept on the way.

However, Gu Shaoyu and Old Madam Gu still had some unfinished business, so after handing the child over to wet nurse Fu and Li Zhu, they took all the female members of the family to the ancestral hall in the northwest corner to continue their conversation.

Old Madam Gu took out a volume of the Gu family genealogy and then spoke.

"Shao Yu and Yun Zhan's names have been listed, Xiao Chun and Xiao Yun are also on the list. In terms of age, from now on you will be the second and third young ladies in this mansion. As for Lang Er, you will be the fourth young lady. From now on, you must respect Shao Yu as your elder brother. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Grandmother."

After a period of rest, Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun also recovered.

The two of them were both respectable maids in charge in the palace, so they could naturally live well in the Gu family. It was reasonable for Gu Xiaochun to be under the name of the eldest aunt and Gu Xiaoyun to be under the name of the second aunt.

With the teacup in hand, he served tea to each family member one by one, and his status was truly established.

"You and I have only just become mother and daughter at this age, so we may not be very close to each other, but since you are the daughter of me and my master, you are the legitimate daughter of the eldest house of our Gu family. You must not lose your proper manners and temperament, do you understand?"

The aunt said to Gu Xiaochun.

Gu Xiaochun is now twenty-five years old. Naturally, she does not have the shyness of those young girls. She knelt down respectfully and then spoke.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Don't worry, mother. I will definitely be filial to my elders and friendly to my brothers and sisters. I won't do anything to bring shame to the Gu family."

The aunt nodded, and then handed over a thick red envelope as a fee for changing her words.

Gu Xiaoyun on the side was a little more lively than her second sister Gu Xiaochun, but such an occasion did not allow her to act rashly, so she followed suit and bowed to her second aunt.

Afterwards, she was offered tea, received money to change her name, and became the legitimate daughter of the second branch of the Gu family, Miss Gu San.

As for Gu Xiaolang, she didn't have much resistance to suddenly having two more sisters. Firstly, it was the emperor's order, and secondly, they were going to marry a son-in-law in the future, which meant that the children would also be members of the Gu family, so she didn't want to put on airs and make things difficult.

I just hope that my family can live in harmony.

So, she stood up and greeted them with a sweet smile.

"Little Four has met the eldest brother, the second sister, and the third sister."

Hearing her title, the fourth aunt beside her also laughed and said to her jokingly.

"You are so quick-witted that you have taken my reputation as well."

When talking to her sisters-in-law, Fourth Aunt always called herself "Little Four", so when she said this, everyone present burst into laughter.

Gu Shaoyu took out a white jade pendant with a pattern of two fish biting each other's tails, Gu Xiaochun took out a huanghuali pen holder inlaid with orchids and various treasures, and Gu Xiaoyun took out a hairpin made of tourmaline and gold thread with a pattern of a fluttering jade butterfly, and gave them all to Gu Xiaolang as a gift to change his name.

She was very happy and then said.

"It's better to be the youngest girl, because all the older brothers and sisters will spoil you."

Third aunt tapped her forehead gently and said with a helpless smile.

"You are an aunt now, be careful not to let Brother Tai see you and make fun of you, the fourth aunt!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang was not polite and replied without hesitation.
