Chapter 661: Longevity



"My fourth brother wanted to go outside to find some delicious snacks, but I wouldn't let him, so this kid and I are competing again."

Wen Ge'er helplessly watched Cong Ge'er throwing dirty water on him so blatantly, but he could not refute a word, so he could only smile awkwardly, nodded and acknowledge the matter.

"Greedy kid, wait until tomorrow to go out and play. We have prepared a lot of things for you at home. Have dinner at home today."

"Okay, Great Grandmother has the final say."

After Wen Ge'er agreed, no one talked much anymore. Everyone was tired after the journey, so the most important thing was for everyone to go back to the yard and rest.

The main courtyard where Marshal Gu and Madam Gu originally lived has now been completely renovated, and all the furniture and furnishings are prepared according to the preferences of Tai Ge'er and his future daughter-in-law.

The two of them will soon be the grandfather and mistress of the Gu family, so there can be no carelessness in this matter.

The others went back to their own courtyards. Now that the population had increased, the courtyards had become a little crowded. Fortunately, the crowding would only last for a few months, so everyone still felt it was lively.

Gu Jiulang felt a little homesick.

Returning to the courtyard where I grew up and the courtyard where I live in Cezhou is a completely different feeling.

This place is filled with many of his childhood memories. Most importantly, as soon as he returns here, he will feel an overwhelming nostalgia for his biological starling, and his eyes will suddenly become red.

He used to be the closest person to me in this world, but now, he has been separated from me for so many years, but I have never paid homage to him. This brother is really not competent at all! Luo Yi stood beside him. How could she not know what he was thinking after being married for so many years? So she spoke to comfort him.

"Don't be sad, my husband. If your father and brothers knew that you were still alive and well, they would also hope that you could live a long life."

Of course Gu Jiulang understood, but after so many years of emotions finally being released, he finally needed to have a good cry.

Outside the door, several aunts were standing. When they heard Gu Jiulang's hoarse voice sobbing, they couldn't help but shed tears. Thinking of his current situation, they decided not to disturb him any more.

When they walked out of the courtyard, the eldest aunt said to the fourth aunt.

"Sister-in-law, don't leave now that you're back. You're old, and it's not good to always be running around outside. And Jiulang and his family should stay as well. The weather in Jinling is warmer than in Cezhou, and it will be beneficial for him to recuperate here."

When she heard this, Fourth Aunt smiled brightly.

Although her hair was already gray, she had never been the kind of woman who would be content to stay in the back house, so she opened her mouth and replied.

"Sister-in-law knows my personality. I like freedom the most. The children are all grown up now. After Brother Tai and the others get married, I will follow Mr. Leng's team and go out for a walk. I heard that the scenery outside the Great Wall is more beautiful. If I don't see such a beautiful scenery now, I'm afraid I won't have another chance."

She is almost seventy years old now. If she were in an ordinary family, she would have been a great-grandmother. But she is still strong and wants to travel around.

The aunt's persuasion was in vain, so she had to focus her attention on Lizhu who was accompanying her. Unfortunately, before she could open her mouth, she heard Lizhu speak calmly.

"Don't worry, Madam. With me here, Master will definitely come back safely. After this trip to the northern frontier, even if she still wants to go, I will bring her back and let her stay in Jinling City to live out her days in peace!"

Her words finally made the aunt feel better, so she stopped trying to persuade him and just gave him many warnings.

"Be careful on the road, especially don't trip and fall and hurt your legs, feet or head. It's very difficult for people of our age to recover. We are not young boys anymore."

"Got it, don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm in good health!"

"You're the only one who's stubborn!"

After some chatting and laughing, the matter was over.

In the following days, the children naturally traveled together. They hadn't been back to Jinling City for many years, so of course they wanted to have a good time. They asked Ge'er and Jing'er for directions, and the servants also followed them, so wherever they went, there were a lot of people following them.

Especially Wen Ge'er's loud roar, he wished that everyone on the street could hear his voice. Therefore, everyone in the whole Jinling City knew that the boys from the Gu family were back.

Some people who like to gossip are still chatting about it in private.

"I thought the Gu family was extinct, but I didn't expect that they could make a comeback. I counted them carefully that day and found that they had more than a dozen children. My God, if it were an ordinary family, who could afford to raise them?"

"Well, the majority of them are in name only. The real descendants of the Gu family are from General Gu's lineage. The one who is going to get married this time is his eldest son, the future father-in-law of the Gu family. When I went out that day, I happened to see them riding past on horses. What a handsome young man!"

"Didn't they say that the Gu family's Ninth Master was found? He brought his two children with him. Has anyone seen them? Or is this just a rumor spread by outsiders?"

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

"Who knows? Anyway, I think those brothers are about the same age, but I can't tell who is who."

The gossip of the people was heard by Du Jingyi who was having tea outside through the wall. Sitting next to her were Gu Xiaochun, Gu Xiaoyun and Luo Yi.

Not to mention Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun, even Luo Yi felt very embarrassed when she heard this. They were obviously a family, but outsiders happened to say such things about them. It really made people uncomfortable.

"Don't take it to heart, my two sisters. It's just gossip. Just pretend you didn't hear it. There are no such good children at home."

Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun seldom came out to sit and drink tea like this on weekdays, so they had hardly ever heard such words. Therefore, when they suddenly heard them, they felt stunned, astonished, puzzled and uncomfortable.

When they thought of their respective children, they could not hold back their tears, but thinking that Du Jingyi and Luo Yi were still there, they swallowed their emotions.

Although Du Jingyi did not express his opinion in person, he was still very angry in his heart.

Tai Ge'er was getting married soon, and he would also have to take over as the father-in-law of the Gu family, so it would not be good for any gossip about the Gu family to appear at this time, so she did not get angry.

He just patted the back of their hands gently and spoke comfortingly.

"Let's live our own lives and don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders. The two of you entered the Gu family because of the order of Emperor Xian De. It couldn't be more legitimate."
