The Xu family's old house was a Qing Dynasty mansion bought by Mr. Xu's father from a declining nobleman.

Mr. Xu has lived here since he was a child. After he became an adult, he also bought another house next door, repaired it, and built a corridor-style yard.

It takes a lot of effort to enter the main courtyard, but if guests are invited, they will not be able to enjoy the whole journey.

The courtyard imitates the scenery of Suzhou gardens, fully expressing the "moving and changing scenery". However, Gu Yanran feels that the scenery of the old house is more detailed, and summer is a good place to escape the heat.

Gu Yanran waited for Xu Yichen to park the car and walked to the main courtyard with him.

The plum blossoms in the front yard are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overflowing. These were all planted by Gu Yanran himself.

"The side of Silver Lake Bay is nothing compared to this place." Gu Yanran looked at the scenery in the house, and then thought about the yard of his own home, but it was not enough.

"So you're not going to move back?" He hoped that Gu Yanran would move back. First, he was worried that she would be out alone, and second, the house would be more lively when she came.

Although he is so busy that he has no spare time, but unless he has to, he will go back to live in the old house.

The old house has a sense of tranquility and far-reaching, which is suitable for self-cultivation. The pace of development outside is too fast, so he has a sense of belonging here. Besides, he grew up here since he was a child, and he really misses moving out.

Gu Yanran shook her head, "It's too far away, and it's too inconvenient to go to class." It takes four or 10 minutes to drive to school here, and she really doesn't think it's necessary to waste time on the journey.

Besides, she is always busy until late, so it is not good to ask the driver to pick her up.

Xu Yichen nodded in disbelief, let's rely on her for now.

A figure came from the side yard and saw Gu Yanran and Xu Yichen, "Miss Gu, Mr. Xu."

It is the servant who cleans the yard of the old house.

The two nodded, and Gu Yanran asked, "Where's Grandpa?"

"Mr. Xu is in the study."

"Okay, then you should be busy." Hearing what she said, Gu Yanran turned around and walked towards the study.

The door of the study was not closed, Gu Yanran quickly walked in.

Gu Yanran walked in quietly, and Mr. Xu was writing, which could be regarded as his daily homework.

Before taking two steps, old man Xu raised his head, seeing that it was Gu Yanran, he was a little taken aback, "Hmph, I still know how to come back."

Although there was reproach in the tone, it was full of joy.

"Grandpa, you still can't concentrate on writing. I walk so lightly, but you still noticed that I didn't focus when I was writing." She was dissatisfied with Mr. Xu for finding out that she was a little dissatisfied so quickly, so she couldn't help teasing him.

"You are amazing. You taught me a lesson as soon as you came here." Mr. Xu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. He just subconsciously raised his head. How could he know that this granddaughter just came.

He has a little gray hair in his hair, and wrinkles between his brows and eyes, but his eyes are piercing, adding a bit of solemnity. On weekdays, he pays great attention to self-cultivation, and his demeanor and temperament are all Ordinary people can't compare.

Gu Yanran's eyes resembled his, she knew that she followed her mother.

Mr. Xu has two sons and a daughter. He loves the youngest daughter the most. He loves his house and his wife, and he loves this granddaughter the most. Besides, Gu Yanran looks very similar to her mother. After her mother passed away, Mr. Xu has aged a lot. I can only love this granddaughter more to comfort my missing.

Gu Yanran smiled lightly, "How dare I train you, you won't keep me for dinner then."

Xu Yichen walked into the study room, he had already heard the conversation between the old and the young, and he was used to it.

"Grandpa." Xu Yichen walked over.

"What are you doing here? It's too much of an eyesore. You can go on your own." Seeing Xu Yichen coming in, Mr. Xu frowned, pretending to be displeased and driving him away.

Gu Yanran knew that he didn't really dislike Xu Yichen, it was just his way of expressing his love for the younger generation, his temper was just like that of Mr. Fu, and Fu Miao was also despised by Mr. Fu for many years. Thinking of Fu Miao, She really sympathized with him.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving." Xu Yichen was not angry, turned around and walked to the door, "I'll arrange for someone to add more dishes."

Mr. Xu waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly.

Gu Yanran laughed secretly in his heart, Xu Yichen was always harsh on her, but with Mr. Xu, he couldn't please him at all, and he didn't dare to have any temper.

Gu Yanran walked to the table and carefully looked at the words on the table. Mr. Xu saw that she was watching carefully, and did not disturb her.

Grandpa is writing bronze inscriptions?What happened recently, everyone is so interested in Jinwen?
"The writing is pretty good." Gu Yanran admired it from the bottom of his heart. Although his grandfather didn't write bronze inscriptions before, he could practice calligraphy on a daily basis. After decades of precipitation, he can write at his fingertips.

Mr. Xu grinned like a treasure. His granddaughter usually has high eyesight. It is not easy to get a compliment from her. Besides, being recognized by the juniors filled him with a sense of satisfaction.

"However." Gu Yanran looked up at him, and pointed to one of the characters, "The word 'dance' was wrongly spelled, the right side is different from the left side, and there is no such stroke in the final closing."

Mr. Xu seemed a little disbelieving. He took a closer look and looked carefully, but he didn't think there was anything wrong. He was quite right.

He wrote this piece of text several times, and now he can memorize it silently, so there shouldn't be such a big mistake.

"Impossible, impossible, you must have misremembered." He refused to admit that he was wrong, just like a child, in fact, he was a little guilty, but he was very stubborn. If he was really wrong, wouldn't he lose it in front of his granddaughter? Face, where to put his old face.

He also just started to study bronze inscriptions recently, but he felt that Gu Yanran was naturally inferior to him. It should be just a coincidence that she pointed out his mistake casually.

Gu Yanran has an incomprehensible stubbornness in this aspect. She lifted up the rice paper in front of her, laid out another sheet, and wrote down the word "dance".

I have to say that she writes smoothly, not like it is the first time she writes.

Mr. Xu looked at what she wrote, and then at what he wrote.

It seems that she really understands.

"When did you learn it?" Mr. Xu really lost his face at this moment. He has lived such a long time, but he is not as good as a child who is just in his early twenties.

"Forgot, I figured it out by myself before." Gu Yanran put down his pen and took his own.

Mr. Xu is not angry, but is full of pride towards her. The biggest reason he likes this child is that her temperament and interests are very similar to his. The two of them always write and drink tea together on weekdays.

In terms of writing, I have to say that Gu Yanran is extremely talented.

When he was young, he hired teachers for the two brothers and sisters. Xu Yichen knew nothing about it and lacked interest in it, but Gu Yanran was on the contrary. She was able to write a very beautiful word as soon as she came up. It wasn't like writing for the first time. He heard She said that she started writing when she was in the Gu family, but she didn't pay attention at the time.

It was only later that he discovered that this granddaughter really kept her secrets. Whether it was regular script, running script, or cursive script, all her writing was excellent. It was already unusual for him to be too harsh on her as a child.

He was also surprised sometimes, and he didn't see her often staying in the study to practice calligraphy on weekdays. She just took half a day every two days to write two sets of characters, and she was proficient in all kinds of fonts when she practiced.

The best thing she can write is seal script. She is very proficient in both big and small seal script, and the teacher she hired is probably a bit inferior. Those who have seen her handwriting all say that she is a gifted child.

Seeing that the teacher couldn't teach her anything, Mr. Xu fired him and taught her himself.

If he was at her age, he dared to say that he could not compare to her.

Unexpectedly, she was also proficient in bronze inscriptions. He was a little surprised, but it was also expected that this granddaughter brought her too many surprises.

Since there is a typo, that paper will be discarded. Mr. Xu folded the paper and put it aside. He is not in the mood to write another copy, so he takes Gu Yanran out.

"Live here at night, drink tea with grandpa, and play chess." Gu Yanran hasn't come to accompany him for a long time, and there are not many people who can play chess and tea ceremony with him on weekdays.

"Okay, but it's been a long time since I've played it. I'm afraid my hands are a little rusty. Don't mind grandpa." There's nothing to do in the past two days, and it's also right to live here and accompany the old man.

"Has Yichen accompanied you to see a doctor today?" Mr. Xu paused.

"Well, I've seen it before I came here. The doctor said that the treatment can start at the beginning of the month, but I have to go abroad in the future." Gu Yanran explained.

"It's okay." He glanced at Gu Yanran, "If you get cured early, you will soon be married, so it's not a problem if you continue like this."

Suddenly, he thought of something, and changed the subject, "Don't always do research or something, you should relax yourself, make more friends, and bring back the ones you like for grandpa to see."

Although Gu Yanran is still in college, he agrees with looking for a partner while studying, but the descendants of the Xu family don't know what's wrong with them.

They are not in a hurry, but he is.

Xu Yichen also always excused himself by saying that he was too busy, but this granddaughter was even angrier, she didn't even make any friends, and was usually alone.

Gu Yanran pouted helplessly, did she also reach the age of being urged to marry?
"I see that Fu Yu is a good kid, very clever." Mr. Xu kept searching for a few young people who were about the same age as Gu Yanran, but after thinking about it, he felt that they were still not worthy of Gu Yanran, although among them He has the usual preference as an elder, but he really appreciates Gu Yanran's talent.

After much deliberation, it is still the child Fu Shi who is deeply in his heart. Moreover, he and Grandpa Fu are old friends, and the Fu family can be considered to know each other well. If the two can get together, it will also be an excellent marriage.

Gu Yanran sighed helplessly, "Grandpa, if I have intentions with him, we won't be just friends now."

She regards Fu Shi as a confidant, and so does Fu Shi, and the two of them have no intention of being male or female.
