Chapter 583: The exiled female prisoner with two bodies (18)
"They are eating in their own room and not joining us this time," Lan Shichu replied.
"Why?" Gong Liangcongyun asked again, "We have so many delicious dishes now, I want my grandfather and the others to eat them too."
"They also have these delicious dishes that everyone can eat." Lan Shichu didn't expect that this little guy was still very sentimental. He would think of his family even when eating something delicious.
"Okay, stop talking. Didn't you say you were hungry? If you don't eat now, the food will get cold." Lan Shichu saw that he had something else to say and quickly stopped him.
The mother and son then started eating. At this time, neither of them realized that one person was missing, or they simply did not count Gong Liang Sibai as part of their family.
Gong Liangsubai was unaware of his precarious position in the hearts of his wife and children. He was now in the study talking to his father and brother about the situation in the court. Now that they were back, they would naturally participate in the affairs of the court. The scar on Gong Liangxian's face had healed so well that it was almost invisible, and his arms and legs were not disabled, so of course he could continue to serve as an official. Gong Liangsubai wanted to discuss with them which official position Gong Liangxian was suitable for now.
The father and his two sons discussed for more than half an hour. Seeing that his father and brother could no longer conceal their fatigue, Gong Liang Sibai then remembered that they had just traveled such a long way back today and must have been very tired. However, he had still dragged them to discuss things for such a long time, so he quickly asked his father and brother to go and rest first.
Gong Liang Sibai came out of the study and returned to his own yard. When he learned that Lan Shichu and his son were in the main room, he went to find them. But when he went to the main bedroom, he found that Lan Shichu and Gong Liang Congyun were already sleeping soundly on the big bed. Gong Liang Congyun curled up beside Lan Shichu, with one hand and one foot on Lan Shichu, looking domineering and dependent.
Gong Liang Sibai felt jealous and thought that his son was more dependent on his mother than on him. Of course, this was understandable. After all, he, as his father, had not been around since his son was born. Only his mother, Lan Shichu, had been taking care of him. Who else could he rely on if not his mother?
Gong Liang Sibai sighed, covered the mother and son with a quilt, and went out quietly. Lan Shichu then opened his eyes and took a look. After confirming that he had left, he closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.
Lan Shichu and his mother slept for more than an hour before waking up. It was already dark when Zhichun came in and reported, "Second Madam, the Second Young Master said that the family banquet is ready. Let you and the Young Young Master go to the main hall."
Lan Shichu then took his son to the main hall, and saw the whole family inside. As soon as Gong Liangcongyun saw Gong Liangjian and Gong Liangyuzhu, he immediately let go of Lan Shichu's hand, rushed to his brother and sister, hugged Gong Liangjian's thighs, and said excitedly: "Brother and sister! So you are here, I missed you so much!"
It was as if they hadn't seen each other for ten days or half a month, but in fact they had just seen each other in the afternoon. Gong Liang Yuzhu smiled and snatched the little guy over and hugged him: "You are kind-hearted, kid. I thought you had forgotten your big brother and big sister after you came back."
Gong Liang Congyun rolled around in his brother and sister's arms with a smile on his face for a few rounds, making his hair all messy, then he ran downstairs and started to act coquettishly with his grandparents.
He is a person who can't sit still, lively and naughty, and has always been the happy pill of the family. Everyone likes him very much. Even Gong Liangxian touched his head and asked him: "Does Congyun like our new home?"
"I like it! It's so big here. I can play hide-and-seek with my brothers and sisters for a long time." He said happily.
Gong Liangxian couldn't help laughing: "You just thought of playing hide-and-seek?"
"We can also go swimming. I saw a big pond. I have wanted to swim in it for a long time. Unfortunately, there is only a small river in our village, and my mother won't let me swim in it. But at least I can swim in the pond at home, right?" Gong Liangcongyun said excitedly.
"No!" Lan Shichu said mercilessly.
"Why?" Gong Liangcongyun didn't expect that he couldn't play in the water at home.
"Because the pond at home is used to grow flowers and raise fish, the water is not clean enough. If you want to swim, daddy will take you to swim somewhere else later." Gong Liang Sibai explained to his son in a soft voice.
Gong Liang Sibai immediately said in a daze: "Okay then."
This dinner was the first reunion dinner for Gong Liang's family since the disaster six years ago. Everyone finally got through all the hardships and now is safe and sound. Everyone was very emotional and cherished this hard-earned reunion.
But perhaps because they were finally back and the shackles that were pressing on them were gone, everyone's emotions became a little out of control. They drank a lot of wine, and at the end they were almost choking with sobs as they talked about the difficulties everyone had gone through over the years... Of course, except for Gong Liangcongyun, the little guy who had no idea what was going on. He had been in exile since he was born and had no feelings at all.
He secretly drank his sister's fruit wine, got drunk and his face turned red, and he fell into Lan Shichu's arms.
Lan Shichu ordered the servants to take their respective masters back, and then she carried the little one back to her room. After she washed up, she found that the servants had brought Gong Liang Sibai to her as well. Then she remembered that this man was her nominal husband.
But she was in no mood to deal with him, so she asked the maid to move the drunkard to the next room, since there was more than one room here anyway.
When Gong Liang Subai woke up the next day, he had a splitting headache. He called someone in and ordered, "Prepare some hangover medicine for me."
After rubbing his forehead, he opened his eyes and finally saw the unfamiliar room in front of him. It was not the place he usually lived in. He was shocked and got up quickly. After going out, he found that this was his wife's main room. He didn't know why he came here last night.
"Where are the madam and the young master?" he asked Zhichun.
"Madam and the young master haven't woken up yet." Zhichun replied respectfully.
Gong Liangsubai went into the main room and saw Lan Shichu and Gong Liangcongyun sleeping soundly on the bed.
My son is already this old, he can’t sleep in the same bed with his mother anymore - Gong Liang Sibai thought.
In the past, when they were in exile, the mother and son slept together. There was no other way, after all, there were not many rooms, and it was impossible for each child to have a room. But now that he has returned home, Gong Liang Congyun, as his son, can no longer be as casual as before, but should learn how to be a son of a noble family - starting with sleeping in his own room.
So after Gongliang Congyun got up, Gongliang Sibai righteously asked him to sleep alone from tonight on, because a child of his age could live in a yard of his own.
But for Gong Liangcongyun, who had never been separated from his mother, this news was like a bolt from the blue. He strongly objected: "No! I don't want to live in a yard by myself!"
