Chapter 450 Si Nian, have you been doing well these years?
Chapter 450 Si Nian, have you been doing well these years?
"Gu Sinian, wuwuwu... My Sinian is really back. I have missed him so much over the years." Old Madam Gu hugged Chouchou.
It turns out that Chou Chou’s real name is Gu Sinian, which sounds pretty nice!
Jinse has no end in fifty strings, a string of thoughts and a string of years.
Chouchou was held tightly by Madam Gu. He struggled with his hands and pushed Madam Gu away.
General Gu stood aside, his hair already gray, his eyes filled with excitement:
"My child, you are our grandson! Thank God, you are finally back safely.
Back then, we didn’t know who saved you…”
Seeing this, Lin Fugui hurriedly clasped his fists and said respectfully:
“Madam had done me a favor in the past, so when we were being hunted, I took the risk and secretly carried the young master away.
I hope you will forgive me if I have offended you.”
General Gu heard this and quickly said, "Stop talking like that. We're all family. Let's go inside and talk slowly."
Everyone walked into the house, and the servants of the Gu family quickly served snacks.
Madam Gu held Chou Chou's hand distressedly, tears welling in her eyes as she asked, "Si Nian, have you been doing well these years? How did you become so thin?"
Gu Sinian just looked at her indifferently, with his lips tightly closed, without saying a word.
Madam Gu suddenly became anxious, her voice trembling slightly: "This... why is this child back and not talking? Could he be..."
Zhao Qiaoniang hurried forward to explain:
"Madam Gu, don't worry, he just doesn't talk much and doesn't like to communicate with people he's not familiar with.
He just came back and isn't very familiar with the place yet, so he's a little shy."
General Gu looked at Master Bai next to him, startled for a moment, and then said in surprise, "You... aren't you Baiyin? Why are you here?"
He turned his gaze to the others: "Wang Fa, Liu Quanzhou, Gu Dongyang. Hey, you are all here, how strange!"
Master Bai stroked his beard and smiled slightly, saying, "Gu Ping, I haven't seen you for so many years. I see you're doing pretty well now!"
General Gu smiled bitterly and waved his hand:
"Alas, what good are you talking about? I don't have any real power anymore.
Over the years, I've experienced so much, with so many ups and downs, that I can only live a peaceful life guarding this general's mansion."
General Gu is now in a semi-retired state, and the swords and horses on the battlefield in the past have all turned into memories.
Inside the house, everyone was reminiscing about the past. At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door: "Madam Gu Da, Madam Gu Er, and Madam Gu San are here!"
As soon as the voice fell, the three ladies walked into the house with light lotus steps.
They all had graceful figures, elegant and delicate makeup, and exquisite and luxurious clothes, showing the grace and dignity of the mistress of the house.
The three of them first performed a standard blessing salute to General Gu and Madam Gu in an orderly manner, with graceful and smooth movements.
Madam Gu raised her head, her eyes gently falling on Gu Sinian. A kind smile played on her lips as she said softly, "Is this Sinian? As soon as I heard he was found, I hurried over with my sisters to take a look."
Madam Gu's face was full of smiles as she quickly replied, "That's our Si Nian! It's just that this child is shy and doesn't like to talk much."
As soon as the voice fell, the three ladies signaled the maids beside them to present the gifts.
Madam Gu personally handed over an exquisite brocade box wrapped in red silk. When she opened it, she found a lustrous white jade pendant inside. It was obviously worth a fortune. "Si Nian, this is my gift to you. I wish you peace and prosperity in the years to come."
Madam Gu Er also stepped forward with a smile and handed a small ebony box to Gu Sinian: "I found this especially for you. Open it and take a look."
Gu Sinian opened the box and a gold necklace inlaid with rubies came into view.
Finally, Mrs. Gu San came forward, holding a brocade package in her hands: "I haven't prepared anything special, I hope you like it."
Gu Sinian opened the package and found a set of four treasures of the study. The pen holder was made of fine purple hair, the ink stick had a light and elegant fragrance, the rice paper was fine and white, and the inkstone was carved with dragons and phoenixes, which was very exquisite.
Faced with this sudden enthusiasm and valuable gift, Gu Sinian was at a loss for a moment and subconsciously looked at Zhao Qiaoniang.
Zhao Qiaoniang nodded slightly and said softly, "These are all gifts from the elders, so just accept them!"
Gu Sinian then nodded slightly and signaled the servant beside him to take the gift.
At this time, Madam Gu smiled and introduced Gu Sinian: "Sinian, these are your eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, and third sister-in-law."
Madam Gu Da, Madam Gu Er, and Madam Gu San's expressions suddenly changed, their eyes full of shock and confusion. They exchanged glances with each other, but no one spoke first.
They all knew clearly in their minds whether Old Madam Gu had given birth to a child or not. After living together day and night for so many years, how could they not know?
But now, Madam Gu actually said that this child was born to General Gu in his later years. The child's origin and life experience were so strange and full of doubts that they were confused for a while.
The three of them pursed their lips slightly, biting their lower lips with their pearly teeth, their eyes unconsciously fell on Gu Sinian, and they secretly wondered in their hearts: Where did this child come from?
But since Madam Gu said so, General Gu also coughed and nodded slightly in agreement, and no one said anything more.
In the Gu family, which has a strict hierarchy, the words of the elders are like golden rules.
Even though they were full of doubts, they could only suppress them for the time being.
After all, this child has been raised to a higher generation and has become their brother-in-law, making him of the same generation as them. Naturally, his status in the mansion will be different in the future.
At this time, Gu Sinian saw that everyone was looking at him, and called out to each person in turn: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Gu Sinian turned to look at Lin Wanwan and asked softly, "Wanwan, are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Lin Wanwan's attention was attracted by the exquisite snacks on the table. She was indeed very hungry, and her stomach had begun to rumble.
Seeing this, Gu Sinian immediately picked up a few delicious-looking snacks, then gently carried Lin Wanwan to the table and said softly, "Eat whatever you want. Try this mung bean cake."
This scene was seen by Old Madam Gu. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems that Si Nian treats your child very well!"
Mrs. Bai's face was filled with a proud smile, and she nodded quickly in response: "That's right! Si Nian dotes on this sister the most, and all the children in our family dote on her."
Madam Gu nodded slightly, as if thinking about something, and then gave a wink to the maid beside her.
The maid understood what he meant and retreated briskly. After a while, she hurried back with an exquisite tray.
The tray was filled with gold, silver, and delicate jewelry for the baby.
Madam Gu raised her hand to signal the maid to put the tray on the table and said with emotion:
"This is a small token of our appreciation, as our family is small.
Sinian's eldest brother has passed away many years ago, his second brother is in poor health, and his third brother is now guarding the border.
So I'm very grateful to you for bringing him back."
