Half an incense stick later, the team that everyone had been waiting for finally appeared. When the aunt saw Gu Shaoyu coming on horseback, she could no longer hold back and hurried down the steps and rushed over to ask anxiously.
"Where's Xiaojiu?"
"In the carriage."
Hearing this, the aunt walked over quickly, followed closely by Butler He.
They had already learned from Gu Shaoyu's letter that Gu Jiulang had difficulty walking, so a wheelchair was naturally prepared early. As soon as the carriage door opened, Zheng Deli stepped forward, carried him down and placed him on the wheelchair, and of course Luo Yi and the two children were with him.
When the eldest and second aunts saw Gu Jiulang, they went crazy and rushed over to him, hugging him and crying even more sadly than the fourth aunt did when she saw him! "You kid, why didn't you send us a letter while you were still alive? Do you know that your family almost cried to death because of you..."
Du Jingyi was standing beside him and couldn't help crying.
Although she had not experienced the despair of the Gu family, she had seen the sorrow and despair of several aunts. If it were not for the birth of Tai Ge'er and others, they would probably still be immersed in the sadness.
Fourth Aunt has always been strong and has gotten used to this matter, so when she heard this, her eyes only turned red slightly. On the contrary, Butler He, Madam Dou and the others cried even harder.
Gu Jiulang wanted to say something to comfort his aunts, but he was being held so tightly that he couldn't free his hands to write, so he could only let them vent their emotions.
People are coming and going on the street.
Countless people gathered around when they saw this. Many of them were grateful to the Gu family, so when they suddenly heard that the Ninth Master of the Gu family had come back to life, they were all extremely excited.
More and more people came, and it was almost impossible to move in. Du Jingyi was afraid of any accidents, so he spoke immediately.
"Aunt, Second Aunt, please go home first. The children are here."
The two were so sad and excited that they naturally couldn't control themselves for a moment. By the time they reacted, they had already seen the situation around them.
They were so immersed in the joy of being reunited with their family that they didn't care about these things. However, Luo Yi and the two children were a little frightened when they saw this scene.
After all, they didn't know that their husbands and fathers were actually such people! Therefore, the three of them stared with big eyes, full of confusion and a little nervousness.
Seeing this, Du Jingyi hurriedly asked Tai Ge'er and Jin'er to go forward and hold the two children, and surrounded by the crowd, they entered the general's mansion.
After they entered, the hustle and bustle in front of the general's mansion dissipated, and the people who were peeking in the corner, after hearing the news, immediately ran straight to the Kuang family.
In the study, after Kuang Wusheng listened carefully to what the servant reported, he turned around and glanced at Xiong Dali with a complicated expression.
"They actually found the person?"
"Damn it, we blocked all the information sent by the pigeons. Where did they get the information?"
The two of them were the deputy generals of the eldest and second masters of the Gu family. Ever since they parted ways with the Gu family, they have been making great strides in Cezhou. If it were not for the involvement of court officials like Shao Shengming and wealthy businessmen like the Han and Du families, I am afraid that Cezhou would be the territory occupied by the two of them in a few years.
Moreover, the two of them were guilty and after learning that Gu Jiulang was still alive, they followed the pigeon to look for him several times, but unfortunately there was no trace of him.
God knows whether he discovered anything when he escaped from that hell on earth, so both of them were very worried.
"Otherwise, let's go all out and send someone to secretly kill Gu Jiulang!"
"That's the general's mansion. What are you dreaming about?"
Xiong Dali's hair was mostly gray now, but he still spoke in the same way as when he was young, without thinking much, so he was retorted by Kuang Wusheng. Seeing this, he asked anxiously.
"What should we do? This happened more than 20 years ago. We can't bring up the past now and let us get caught in it. Wouldn't that be a joke?"
Kuang Wusheng said nothing, his face looking very solemn.
The two of them had not yet come up with a plan, but the general's mansion on the other side was extremely lively.
It was the first time that Fourth Aunt had seen the renovated General’s Mansion, not to mention Gu Jiulang, so everything looked familiar, yet new.
He is in a wheelchair, which is not convenient.
But within a few days, Du Jingyi asked Zhao Ping and others to work overtime to build slopes at the stairs and thresholds in the mansion with wooden stakes. This made it much easier for his wheelchair to enter and exit.
However, because of the short time, although it is convenient, it still needs further fine-tuning before it can be better integrated into the surrounding environment. However, such a thoughtfulness is already very good for Gu Jiulang and Fourth Aunt.
Fourth Aunt was not polite. She walked over, took Du Jingyi's hand and spoke.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
"That's not the case, Fourth Aunt. Ninth Brother's business is our business. The yard is right next to us and it's all ready. I thought you haven't seen each other for a while, so I arranged your yard next to each other so that it will be more convenient for us to visit each other."
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."
Fortunately, Du Jingyi had made preparations in advance and bought the general's mansion and a large courtyard on the left and right sides in the back in advance. Although it cost a lot of money, it could be occupied immediately.
Du Jingyi replaced all the furniture in the two adjacent courtyards on the east side with new ones, prepared all the necessary supplies, and assigned six maids, four old women and six errand boys to go there.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
They had all served in the general's mansion before. So to Gu Jiulang, they were familiar faces and he didn't feel uncomfortable using them.
After walking all the way to the front hall and sitting down, the eldest aunt and the second aunt surrounded Gu Jiulang.
Of course, they knew exactly what they wanted to ask, but Gu Jiulang's survival was a complete surprise, so the other brothers might not be so lucky.
So Gu Jiulang wrote down what was in his mind.
"I know my aunts are looking forward to my brother's return, but when I was rescued, there was indeed no one traveling with me."
Seeing this, the eldest aunt and the second aunt's eyes were filled with disappointment.
Yes, most of the bodies of the Gu family's men who were brought back at that time were broken limbs, but their faces were still recognizable. The only one was Xiaojiu's body, which was badly damaged, so they made a judgment based on a piece of armor.
Thinking of this, the two of them could only suppress their hopes and accept the reality. Although they were sad, after so many years, this sadness was no longer heart-wrenching and they could get over it by themselves.
Everyone else's thoughts were on Gu Jiulang, while Du Jingyi looked at Luo Yi and her two children. The grandeur and generosity of the general's mansion made them even more reserved.
The whole place, up and down, was much larger than their village, especially the decorations and ornaments, which they had never seen before, so they took every step very carefully.
Du Jingyi could naturally see their discomfort, so he asked Tai Ge'er and Jin'er to send over some small gifts that he had prepared in advance.
"I don't know what you like, so I prepared these. They are all wooden weapons that my brothers and I like to play with. This set is brand new, and mother prepared it specially for you."
They lived in a village deep in the mountains and old forests, and knew little about gold, jade, and brocade clothes, so naturally they would not like them. That was why Du Jingyi thought of such preparations.
Sure enough, when the brother and sister saw those things, their eyes were obviously more relaxed than at the beginning, so they reached out and took one, and when they were sure that no one scolded them, they picked up another one.
After waving it around in my hand a few times, I found it very easy to use, so I started laughing.
When Fourth Aunt saw this, she couldn't help but speak.
"You are really good at dealing with children. The two siblings didn't smile much during the whole journey. They don't speak the same language as us, so it's very difficult to communicate with them."
Hearing this, Du Jingyi nodded to Cherry Wine, and soon Cherry brought in two men and two women, none of whom were very old, and looked to be in their teens. (End of this chapter)
