Gu Chengyan wore a human skin mask on his face and didn't care about other people's opinions.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the General's Mansion.
The carriage stopped and Lin Jiuyue looked up.
A plaque with the words "General's Mansion" hangs above the vermilion lacquer gate, and two majestic stone lions stand on both sides of the gate.
In addition to the stone lions, there are two soldiers with swords standing guard, one on each side. It looks like a depressing feeling.
"Gu Chengyan, is this your home?"
Gu Chengyan nodded.
"Well, if you have any problems in the future, you can come here to find me. Come on, I'll take you two siblings to get acquainted with the place."
Before Lin Jiuyue could say anything, Gu Chengyan jumped off the carriage and walked to the gate.
As soon as they reached the gate, the guards on both sides of the gate began to draw their swords.
"Who are you? This is the General's Mansion, not a place for you to play around. Leave immediately."
Lin Jiuyue stood at the bottom of the stairs and burst out laughing.
Gu Chengyan has been wearing a human skin mask all the way. Now he is at the door of his own home, but his own guards can't recognize him. He deserves it!
"How dare you! You even dare to stop me!"
Gu Chengyan frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Who are you?"
Gu Chengyan touched his face and then remembered that he was still wearing a human skin mask.
The warm jade that symbolized his identity was given to Lin Jiuyue by him long ago when he was fleeing from the famine. Now, if he wanted to prove his identity, he would have to take off the human skin mask.
Lin Jiuyue and Lin Qiye also thought of this at this time, and quickly ran from the stairs to Gu Chengyan's side, just to see what Gu Chengyan's face looked like under the human skin mask.
Gu Chengyan saw that Lin Jiuyue and her brother were staring at him with a look of anticipation and curiosity. After much deliberation, he finally took off the human skin mask in front of the guards and Lin Jiuyue.
"Sister, why do I feel like this is a little unreal? Pinch me!"
Lin Jiuyue didn't expect that there was such a face hidden under the ordinary human skin mask.
I don't know if it's from wearing the human skin mask for so long or from the illness. His face is a little pale. But his skin is so delicate that even a woman like me would be ashamed of herself. It's no exaggeration to describe him as having a face like a crown of jade.
Yet, this seemingly unhealthy face actually possessed a pair of eyes like cold stars on a winter night. They were cold and clear, exuding an irresistible aristocratic aura.
No wonder Gu Chengyan has to wear a human skin mask.
Although this face wasn't unique, it was definitely one that people couldn't forget after seeing it once. Wearing a human skin mask could indeed save a lot of trouble.
"I also feel it's a little unreal. I didn't expect Gu Chengyan to actually..."
Lin Jiuyue stopped talking halfway through her words.
"Young Master?"
The moment Gu Chengyan's true face was revealed, the guarding soldier shouted in disbelief.
It seemed as if she didn't expect her young master to appear in front of her in this state.
Gu Chengyan said "hmm" and turned to look at Lin Jiuyue and her brother.
Seeing that Lin Jiuyue and her brother were also looking at him in disbelief, he felt a little excited.
"Now you know who I am? Hurry up and open the door and let me in."
The guards hurriedly made way.
"Sir, I will report this right away."
Before Gu Chengyan could react, one of the soldiers ran in hurriedly.
The soldier who stayed behind seemed to be regretting why he didn't run faster.
"September, Qiye, come here."
Lin Jiuyue and her brother were still in a daze, and only reacted when Gu Chengyan called them.
"Well, we two siblings won't go in..."
Although the brother and sister came from another time, they also knew that there were many rules in the deep courtyard. They came from the 21st century and knew nothing about these rules. They were afraid that they would make a fool of themselves.
Gu Chengyan seemed to have noticed the hesitation of Lin Jiuyue and her brother.
"No problem. My family is simple and simple, and we are all rough people. We don't have so many rules."
Lin Jiuyue hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.
It was my first time visiting someone, and I came in a hurry without bringing any gifts, so I felt a little embarrassed.
However, I have never seen a real noble family in ancient times. Going to take a look today can broaden my horizons.
If Gu Chengyan's family is nice, I will come to visit them again with gifts. If Gu Chengyan's family is not to my liking, I will just stop visiting them.
As soon as I stepped into the Gu family's gate, a beautiful woman came towards me.
"Cheng'er, are you really back?"
When Gu Chengyan saw the woman, a smile appeared visibly on his face.
"Mom. Why did you come out?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Mother? This woman looked to be in her twenties, and she actually had a son as old as Gu Chengyan? Could she be a stepmother?
The woman looked at Gu Chengyan and felt relieved when she saw that although he looked a little disheveled, he had no wounds on his body.
"Cheng'er, why did you come back by yourself? Didn't mother send people to pick you up? Where are those people?"
Gu Chengyan opened his mouth.
"Mom, this is not the place to talk. I just came back. Please let me clean up first."
Gu Chengyan pointed at himself.
After fleeing all the way back from the famine, I haven't taken a shower for a long time and my body is all dirty. Now that I finally get home, I have to wash up quickly, right?
After hearing this, the woman noticed that Gu Chengyan looked like a beggar.
"Pfft, I hadn't even thought of this until you mentioned it. Look at you now, you look like a beggar. You must have suffered a lot along the way."
"Go wash up first. When you're done, tell me about your journey."
After the woman finished speaking, she turned and looked at Lin Jiuyue and her brother.
"This? This is yours, friend?"
Gu Chengyan nodded.
"Yes, mother, this is my friend, Lin Jiuyue. This is Lin Qiye. My son returned to the capital with them."
After hearing this, the woman didn't mind that Lin Jiuyue and her brother were dirty. She walked directly to Lin Jiuyue. She glanced at them, but didn't look at them too much.
"Um, your name is September, right?"
Lin Jiuyue came to his senses when he heard the woman calling him.
"Yes, ma'am."
"What is September thinking about? Why is she so lost in thought?"
Mrs. Gu asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, it was my first time meeting Madam, and I thought she was Gu Chengyan's sister. I was stunned for a moment and couldn't react."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu covered her mouth and laughed with great joy.
"Haha, girl, you really know how to talk. I'm old, not as young as you say."
Mrs. Gu said that she was old, but her hand unconsciously touched her cheek.
