Chapter 499 How about we three form a family tree 17
"Grandpa, why are you here?" Gu Shuo returned to his usual indifference.
Old Gu pulled the little girl's hand and looked up and said, "I went to Shuijingtai to look for you. The shopkeeper said you came to the general's mansion."
"You came, so why did you bring them with you?" Gu Shuo's dark eyes glanced at the four old men.
"Of course, let them put you on the family tree."
Gu Shuo frowned.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk slowly." Old Gu called out and took Ye Qianning into the hall.
The four old men looked at each other and walked into the hall. They saw that Old Gu went straight to the main seat of the general's mansion and sat down in the main seat without any expectation. Surprise appeared in their eyes.
Even if Marquis Xiang Ming was not present, outsiders were not allowed to sit in the main seat at will. How could Mr. Gu be so casual?
Qian Fu, Qian Fan Ji and others have also gotten used to it.
Due to the relationship among the four families, Mr. Gu is the oldest, so even if Marquis Xiang Ming is present, Mr. Gu can still sit in the main seat.
Elder Gu sat down and held Ye Qianning on his lap. He looked at the old man and said, "Regarding Gu Shuo's reinstatement in the family tree, can you talk to Shu'er about what needs to be done?"
The old man said: "Bathe and burn incense for a day."
The second old man said: "Kneel three times and kowtow nine times before the ancestors of the Gu family for three days and three nights."
The third old man: "Punish thirty thorn vines."
The fourth old man: "Need..."
"No need." Gu Shuo interrupted coldly.
Several old men frowned.
Ye Qianning was speechless after hearing this. Could it be that the Gu family tree has been gilded?
Zhan Chi's mouth twitched every time he heard a word. Adding a name to the family tree is accompanied by so many troubles?
Old Gu didn't know it was so complicated. Punishing thirty thorn vines?
How dare you say that!
Qian Fu and his son had indifferent expressions on their faces. They looked silently at the elders of the Gu family. They were all thin and tough. A hundred thoughts flashed through their eyes.
Do you have to bathe and burn incense to be included in the family tree?
The royal family tree is not that complicated!
"Gu Shuo, you are not allowed to interrupt your elders when they are talking." The old man was very dissatisfied.
"I am no longer in the family tree. Although you are my elders, you are not my elders." Gu Shuo said coldly.
The fourth elder immediately became restless and slammed the table before standing up: "After leaving the Gu family, he actually lacks even the most basic manners. Mr. Gu, the Gu family tree won't tolerate such a person."
"Gu Shuo has returned to the Gu family, and no branch of the Gu family has any objection. You guys should stop making irresponsible remarks. What about burning incense and bathing? I have never heard of such a rule for entering the family tree." Old Gu was angry.
"It's true that the child is not included in the family tree, but Gu Shuo was removed from the family tree. If you want to be included in the family tree again, you have to show sincerity. If you can't even do this, how can you have the face to be included in the ancestral home." The old man said in a deep voice.
Gu Lao suddenly realized: "Oh... So, the rules were set by you old guys."
"Mr. Gu, why do you speak so harshly?" the old man scolded.
"What? You guys are allowed to make such a fuss here, but you can't let others speak? It's unpleasant to listen to? The old lady wants to say something nice, but do you think you are worthy of it?"
"Mr. Gu, are you really going to make things difficult for the clan?" The old man stood up with a gloomy face.
"It's you who really want to make things difficult for my eldest grandson. It's just about adding a name to the family tree. You want this and that, and you really think you are the head of the Gu family." Old Gu snorted, his face full of disrespect.
"You... are simply unreasonable." The old man swung his sleeves and blew his beard in anger.
The other three old men also looked indignant and could only stare blankly.
Everyone knows how powerful Mr. Gu is. When it comes to reasoning, he has many twists and turns. When it comes to scolding, not to mention the four of them, even four more people may not be able to scold him more.
"Grandpa, you don't need to say more. When I was removed from the Gu family tree, I never thought about getting back in." Gu Shuo said, then looked at the four elders and said, "Please go back."
The four old men snorted coldly and turned to leave.
"You can't leave." Old Gu scolded, put Ye Qianning down from his arms, stood up and walked away.
"Mr. Gu, don't say anything. Gu Shuo is a wicked man. The Gu family cannot tolerate such an unfaithful and unfilial person." The old man turned around.
"No matter how bad he is, he's not as bad as you old guys. He's almost in his coffin, and yet he's still so harsh."
The old man snorted coldly and didn't want to say any more to him.
"I finally understand now. Well, if I can't join, then I won't join. It's just a family tree. You four should remove me from the Gu family tree." Old Gu didn't force it.
The four old men's faces changed from anger to shock. They didn't believe that Mr. Gu wanted to leave the clan on his own initiative. Without clan membership, he would not be considered a member of the Gu family, and he would not be able to enter the Gu family ancestral hall after his death.
"Grandpa?" Gu Shuo was also surprised.
Mr. Gu waved his hand to signal him to shut up.
"Please remove me from the family tree as well."
The four old men pondered for a while and looked at each other. Mr. Gu was the most senior person in the Gu family, so they did not have the power to remove him from the family.
"Mr. Gu, you are so old, please stop throwing tantrums." The third old man was helpless.
"Who's angry? I'm serious. I just realized it. It's just a family tree. It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. As long as I have money and live a comfortable life, that's enough."
"Grandpa, please stop making trouble." Gu Shuo had a headache.
Old Gu turned his head and said, "You are not in the family tree anymore. How can the little girl be included in the Gu family tree in the future? If the little girl is not in the family tree, what use is there for me to be in the family tree? When I die in the future, my descendants will not know that I have a great-granddaughter."
Gu Shuo: “…”
So this is what he was making a fuss about!
Ye Qianning: “…”
The logic is really strong!
Zhan Chi: “…”
They must learn from Xuan’s great-granddaughter’s highest realm!
Chisuke: "..."
The little kid must also be included in the Qian family tree as soon as possible so that future generations will know that he has a granddaughter!
Qian Fanji: "..."
Makes sense!
The four elders: “…???”
Great-granddaughter?
Gu Shuo has a baby? And it's a girl?
Never heard of it!
"Did you bring the family tree? Hurry up." Old Gu was a little impatient.
The old man thought for a moment and said, "Gu Shuo has a daughter?"
"yes."
"Where is the person?" If it was really a girl, Gu Shuo could be included in the family tree.
After all, for the Gu family, which has never had a girl for three generations, a girl is a treasure, and it also greatly dispels the rumor that the Gu family is cursed.
"He's not here." Old Gu said, turning back to Ye Qianning and beckoning: "Come here, girl."
“…”
When the four old men saw that it was Ye Qianning, their hearts immediately sank.
Isn’t this ridiculous?
How can a goddaughter be included in the Gu family tree? She is a child of the Xiang family and is not afraid of Marquis Xiang Ming coming back to hold her accountable.
Ye Qianning touched his little nose. The ink stains left by his feet were quite embarrassing.
"Is Mr. Gu really determined to leave the clan?" the old man asked.
"Of course."
"Let's go back to the tribe and discuss it."
"What are we still discussing? Do those youngsters have the guts to influence me?"
The old man lowered his eyes in deep thought.
"Grandpa, I beg you, please don't make things more complicated." Gu Shuo felt overwhelmed.
