Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 495: Aunt Zeng Invites

In recent years, as the village has gradually become more prosperous, everyone worked together to rebuild a brand new house, which is specially used for the village head and other officials to handle official business and receive visitors.

At this moment, Gu Yan and Gu Cheng were sitting peacefully in this spacious and bright room.

Those respected elders of the clan could not wait to explain to the uncle and nephew in detail and clearly the various achievements and developments that had been made in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the past few years.

After all, they knew very well that after Gu Yan returned to his hometown this time, it was difficult to predict when he would come back again.

Therefore, they were so eager to take this opportunity to determine the future development direction of Sheng Tangli on the spot.

However, from beginning to end, uncle Gu Cheng and his nephew always had smiles on their faces and listened quietly to everyone's speeches.

Just as they were about to express their opinions, something unexpected happened -

Suddenly, the impetuous Aunt Zeng rushed in from outside. She walked quickly into the house and said loudly:

"Oh, uncles, the development of our village is important, but there is no need to be so anxious!

Look at the uncle and nephew Jizhi, they just got home and didn’t even have time to rest and catch their breath, but you hurriedly summoned them here.

We have to let them have a good rest first!"

After hearing this, Gu Tai and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They didn't know what to say for a moment. They just felt a burning sensation on their faces, and the old face turned red in an instant.

"This... Yuzhi's wife does have a point. Why don't we discuss it tomorrow so that Jizhi and his nephew can have a good rest."

When Aunt Zeng heard what the elders said, she quickly and enthusiastically pulled the two of them up and walked straight toward her home, muttering to herself, "You guys can have your meal here today!

Step-daughter-in-law and Sister Zhi are waiting for you at home!"

Aunt Zeng's family has recently followed the trend of dividing the family in the village. Several sons took this opportunity to divide the family, each of them went out to obtain a residential plot and built a small house of their own.

Gu Qingyi's father is the eldest son. According to the custom in the village, the elderly live with the eldest family. Aunt Zeng and her husband naturally live with the eldest son's family.

It is true that since the family split up, the relationship between Aunt Zeng and her daughters-in-law has not become distant, but has become closer and closer, and the feelings between them have become deeper and deeper.

During every festival, these daughters-in-law would compete to give Aunt Zeng and his wife generous gifts and filial piety money, and the amount was much more than before!

Not only that, Aunt Zeng usually helped Wang run the silk flower shop and received a considerable salary and allowance every month.

Now that I have enough money, I don't have to live my life under the guise of my daughters-in-law anymore.

When she thought of the relaxed, carefree and wonderful life she was living now, Aunt Zeng was overjoyed. She often said with emotion: "In the past, I could not even dream of living such a good life as I do now!"

In this way, Gu Cheng's family happily came to Gu Tai's house for dinner.

Seeing this, Gu Tai quickly called back his sons to join them.

Everybody sat together, laughing and talking, and the whole house was filled with a strong family atmosphere. The scene was so lively, even more festive than during the Chinese New Year!

After finishing the sumptuous meal, everyone stood up and slowly moved into the spacious and bright hall.

At this time, a light sound of footsteps was heard. It turned out that Gu Chen heard that Gu Cheng and others were having dinner at Gu Tai's house, so he brought his sons here.

After a while, several families sat in a circle, each holding a cup of steaming hot fragrant tea in their hands, and began to chat leisurely.

The topic naturally revolved around Gu Yan, because everyone was very curious about his experiences working outside in the past few years, as well as his future career plans and development direction.

When they learned that Gu Yan would stay in the capital to take up an official position, everyone present couldn't help but be excited.

Everyone was very excited and exclaimed: "This is really the blessing of our ancestors!"

Especially my fifth uncle, his wrinkled face was now blooming with a bright smile and his eyes were shining with joy.

He stood up excitedly and said loudly: "Tomorrow I will go to the Gu family ancestral hall in person to burn incense to our ancestors and tell them this great news!

Our Gu family is promising, and they even produced a top scholar!

This is simply smoke coming out of the ancestral grave!"

Gu Yanze sat quietly aside, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, but did not say much.

However, deep in his heart, he was silently thinking about a crucial thing - the mystery of his life experience that had been hidden for a long time.

He knew very well that he could not continue to conceal this matter, and he had to find a suitable time to tell the truth to his second uncle in case his second uncle was caught off guard and was at a loss as to what to do.

After all, as far as he knew, his grandfather had probably been unable to hold back any longer. Once the evil deeds of the Zhou family were exposed, his true identity would certainly no longer be kept secret.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and gently fell on the earth.

The Gu family arrived as promised and gathered together again.

This time, the topic that everyone gathered to discuss was Gu Yan's top scholar banquet.

There is no doubt that such a grand event is worth celebrating.

Even in Jiangzhou, a long time has passed since the last top scholar appeared.

Therefore, this banquet is not only a glorious recognition of Gu Yan’s personal achievements, but also a moment of celebration for the entire Gu family.

In this day and age, a top scholar who is rare to appear in a century has appeared!

This is a earth-shattering event!

Naturally, people would not miss such a great opportunity and must celebrate it in a high-profile manner.

Doing so will not only allow the top scholar to feel the enthusiasm and support of his hometown people, but also have the profound meaning of setting an example for the majority of readers and inspiring them to work hard.

After all, since Jiangzhou can cultivate an outstanding top scholar like Gu Yan, there will surely be more talented students emerging in the future.

Since Gu Yan passed the imperial examination, the number of children from the village coming to the school to study has gradually increased.
