"Junior Gu Dashi greets Old Master Su." Gu Yue was the first to salute. The old man was quite old, but he only bowed deeply and did not kneel down.

You are not his elder, so don't kneel.

Moreover, it is still unclear what this person’s attitude is towards King Shen’s affairs.

Gu Xu was silent for a moment, then stepped forward and kowtowed to his grandfather.

Old Master Su helped the man up.

He looked carefully at this grandson whom he had not seen for a long time and kept wiping his tears with his sleeves. Su Muying, who was standing by, hurriedly handed him a handkerchief, and Gu Xu took it and wiped Old Tutor Su's face.

"Good, good, good boy." Old Tutor Su cried and laughed, and Gu Xu helped him back to the main seat and sat down on the small couch.

The entire Su family gathered here.

Gu Yue didn't say anything either. It didn't matter if he couldn't take care of him during the family reunion. He didn't want to deal with these trivial matters anyway.

Mrs. Meng, Su Muhua's wife, smiled and said, "We are relieved that my little sister's child has grown up safely. Master Gu, I would like to thank you very much."

After saying that, she bowed to Gu Yue, and the people around her also bowed, even Su Muhua and his two brothers bowed.

Gu Yue laughed dryly: "It's my duty. I've thanked you many times. There's no need to mention this again."

This was not the attitude I had when I heard that Gu Dashi was abusing Gu Xu and still taking sides.

Madam Meng said, "Master Gu, the matter was unclear before, and the situation outside was chaotic, so I never came to thank you. I asked someone to pack some local specialties, please accept them."

"Thank you, ma'am." Gu Yue said.

What are the specialties of the Su family?

Gu Yue found that his thoughts were a little jumpy.

Over there, Old Master Su also finished his visit to Gu Xu and sat back on the couch, and everyone in the hall finally sat down. His face was still kind and gentle, but he lacked the emotion of a long-parted reunion, and showed a bit of the majesty of a master.

He said, "Master Gu, Xiao Xu. This is your first time back home. I'm afraid you don't recognize the people at home."

Su Muying stood up.

"This is my eldest son Su Muying, who is now the prime minister. This is my eldest grandson Su Yingxu, who does some odd jobs in the ancestral temple. This is Su Yingyang..."

The eldest son, Su Muying, had only two sons. They looked to be in their thirties. Su Muying also looked a bit old. The eldest son was probably born when Old Master Su was very young. The second son, Su Muyu, had two sons. They were slightly younger, but not much younger.

The third branch had only one son, Su Yingjian. When the old tutor mentioned him, this man smiled with his teeth bared.

It's not surprising that Luo Dao didn't appear on this occasion.

After the old tutor finished introducing the third wife of the family, he took a breath and asked Xiao Xu to get to know them all, so the work of introduction returned to Madam Meng.

The concubines didn't seem to come out. Because of the New Year, the six concubines of the old master Su came back, each with a group of sons, not a single daughter. But they looked kind, and their children were cute. They looked at Gu Yue and Gu Xu with curiosity.

The children seemed to have been told to do so, and all of them called Gu Yue "little uncle". Gu Yue took out the red envelope he had prepared and gave each of them New Year's money.

Such a family would naturally not push back and forth, they would just thank them and say they were polite. Gu Yue paid attention and did not notice any unfriendly looks.

It seems that Su Huaiyue is the only daughter in the family.

This configuration...

Gu Yue thought that this felt a bit like early Mary Sue novels.

It's a bit boring!

After Mrs. Meng finished introducing the configuration of the whole family, the relatives started chatting with each other.

Gu Yue listened to it hastily. In general, it was about Su Huaiyue's childhood and the things that happened before and after her marriage. It was simply a memorial service. Occasionally, someone asked about Gu Xu's marriage, but Old Master Su was tough and directly changed the subject.

Everyone present came from aristocratic families, were smart people, and were relatives, so they understood what Old Master Su meant and let the matter go.

Gu Yue was waiting, waiting for Old Master Su or someone from the third house to ask him about the political situation.

But there are so many people in the hall now, so this will definitely not be said in public.

After a while, Su Muhua, the third son of the Su family, Su Yingjian's father, said with a smile, "Speaking of my sister's love of swordplay, Dad, didn't you find a treasure from the northwest a few years ago?"

When Old Master Su mentioned his daughter, his expression was no longer sad, only nostalgia. He stroked his beard and said, "Yes, yes, I remember..."

The fifth master of the Su family followed suit and said, "I've heard of that treasure too. Dad, why don't you take it out and have a look at it today?"

"Good! Good!" said Old Master Su, "I got that thing for Huaiyue. It's just right to take it out today!"

He held Gu Xu's hand, and Gu Xu held the old man's arm, and they went to the backyard together.

"Please come in, uncle." Su Muying, the eldest uncle of the Su family, said with a smile.

Gu Yue's face was frozen from smiling, but he still had to smile.

A group of people gathered and walked towards the back of the main hall of the Su Mansion.

The Su family is really huge. Gu Yue followed the people for a cup of tea, walked through countless doors and waterside corridors, and came to a huge garden. There was no wall in the garden at first glance. There was a small lake in the garden, rockery and flowing water, and even in winter there were pine and cypress trees.

There was no snow in the garden. When Gu Yue arrived, he found that the servants had already prepared the seats.

"Xiao Xu, did you see the straw man target over there?" asked Old Tutor Su kindly.

Gu Xu nodded. This old man obviously still treated him as a child.

"Can you shoot arrows? How's your accuracy?" asked Old Master Su.

"It's okay." Gu Xu replied.

Old Master Su stroked his beard and smiled, "Okay, okay, bring the bow up."

Immediately, someone came with a purple-black bow with three feather arrows and respectfully handed it to Gu Xu.

"Xiao Xu, shoot an arrow at that straw man." Old Tutor Su said with a smile.

Gu Yue frowned.

It was a bit like when relatives asked him to perform during Chinese New Year, although he had never experienced it...

He looked at Gu Xu. If he showed any reluctance, he would step forward to stop him.

Gu Xu's face was very calm as he picked up the bow. The bow looked large, but very light. The bow was slightly shiny where he held it, as if it had been used for a long time.

"Whose bow is this?" Gu Xu asked.

Old Master Su smiled with satisfaction.

"Xiao Xu has a good eye. This is exactly the bow your mother used before she got married." Su Muhua said with a smile.

Gu Xu nodded slightly.

Gu Yue was shocked when he heard this. Su Huaiyue was so powerful? Not only was he good at wielding swords and guns, he could also shoot arrows.

Thinking of what Gu Xu said about the Chaozhen army's muskets, the original thought came to his mind again.

Gu Xu bent his bow and drew his arrow, aiming at the straw man in the garden. He squinted his eyes slightly and saw that there seemed to be something on the straw man.

The bow was like a full moon, and the arrow was like a meteor. The feathered arrow shot out quickly and hit the straw man opposite in an instant.
