Loyal heart travels a long way

For Chu Lang and Qin Zhengqi's reconciliation, the people from the Chu family will naturally come.It's just that the distance is not too short. When the old general and his family arrived in the capital, the Fu Garden had already been tidied up.

Old General Chu hadn't been to the capital for many years, and this time he specially sent a booklet just for the sake of his youngest daughter.

The emperor sympathized with General Chu's devotion, and besides, Chu Lang was indeed at odds with Qin Zhengqi and his wife, and the two had also passed the reconciliation document in the government, and even changed the nameplate of the Minister of Industry in the court.

The old general finally arrived in the capital again.Beijing has changed a lot over the years, even the hottest stage and the biggest brothel have been changed.He didn't think it was a bad thing for Chu Lang to leave Qin Zhengqi, but now that Chu Dancheng was able to take care of himself, it was a blessing to live with only his two sons.

Chu Dancheng and Chu Qingfeng were on duty during the day, so they changed their residence to Fuyuan, but Zhu Chengdong couldn't find it, and it was Gu Zhiyao who came to pick him up.

Gu Zhiyao was also the one who came to pick him up last summer. He was already outstanding and eye-catching at that time, and now he is even more promising than last year.

The Fifth Master Chu, who was very famous in Beijing, was riding the steed named Peony, waiting on the official road.He only brought a servant with him, not the eight-treasure who talks a lot when he is nervous, but a thin and small one, who is said to be called auspicious, with a smiling face, who doesn't look like a Lianjiazi, but still clever.

Gu Zhiyao's temperament has calmed down a bit compared to before, he doesn't show off his handsomeness with his brothers like last year when he put on men's clothing; but he is still the same, when he saw the Chu family's motorcade from a distance, he raised his hand and waved again. The red clothes are so hard to see.

It was said that it was a convoy, but in fact the only people in the carriage were Zhifu Zhu and the old lady Chu Lin, mother and daughter, and a few servants.Old General Chu and his children rode horses. Chu Mingyue was determined to be a female general, and she refused to ride in a carriage even if she died. It was not easy for the older generation with spoiled children to restrain her in Zhu Zhifu, so she simply let her go. .

Chu Mingyue had seen Gu Zhiyao a long time ago, and rushed towards Gu Zhiyao with her legs clamped on the horse's stomach, leaving the old general and her elder brother to eat a bellyful of ashes behind.

Chu Mingyue ran over first, reined in the horse's head when he was in front of Gu Zhiyao, and walked around him in a circle, smiling: "Okay, no wonder Yinzi praised you in the letter. Lord, what kind of person doesn't respect you first?"

"Cousin Mingyue praises me too much?" Gu Zhiyao smiled and rolled his eyes, "How is everyone's journey?"

"Hey, we didn't take the official route." Chu Mingyue still had that big and swollen look, her hair was all messed up and she didn't know how to get it together. She stroked the mane of the mount and raised her eyebrows, "By the way, return it." Two gangs of bandits were killed. Those small villages were frightened when they saw the big flag of the Chu family on the convoy, but there were two unbelievers, and we broke them up directly."

After Chu Mingyue said this, she got closer: "I heard that my aunt has not been doing well these years. The old man was holding his breath along the way, and he took care of these unsightly things directly."

Gu Zhiyao laughed, Chu Lang was the daughter of the Chu family after all, and the Qin family had been hiding all kinds of things from the family all these years, and after reconciling with Qin Zhengqi, all the old accounts were naturally revealed.The old general is still old enough to hold his breath. If he was young, he might not have traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to sue the imperial court.

After Chu Mingyue finished speaking, seeing her family's convoy getting closer, she tilted her head and thought about it, then secretly asked Gu Zhiyao: "You Dali Siqing, that little boy named Feng, are you married?"

Gu Zhiyao was baffled by her endless question, and shook his head, "Feng Jinian? No, what's the matter, a girl asked you to express her sincere feelings?"

"No, I'll just ask." Chu Mingyue shook her head, the sun was fine today, she was comfortably tanned by the sun, although it was a little hotter, it was still more pleasing than the gloomy rainy day.She was in a good mood and stretched herself.

Without waiting for Gu Zhiyao to think too much, the Chu family's convoy was approaching, and Gu Zhiyao rode the peony forward a few steps to meet it.

Old General Chu has not seen him for three years. Gu Zhiyao is actually a little afraid of this grandfather. The eyes of the old general who has gone through three dynasties are like eagle eyes. You can see it at a glance.He simply didn't do those hypocrisy and submissive things, and just followed his own temper, clasped his fists together, and called grandpa crisply.

The old general didn't seem very happy, he just gave him a sideways glance and didn't answer.Gu Zhiyao got a little hairy from his eyes, rode peony slowly to Zhu Chengdong's side, and asked him in a low voice: "Cousin, why is grandpa unhappy?"

His low voice could not be heard by those servants, old general Chu, who has practiced martial arts for many years, can naturally be heard, but he still has a sullen face and no smile, which makes Gu Zhiyao feel uneasy stand up.

Zhu Chengdong glanced at him with a half-smile, "I finally met the person you are afraid of, cousin, I am very happy now."

Seeing Zhu Chengdong's high-spirited expression, Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but hide from the old general's sight, and secretly abducted Zhu Chengdong's elbow.

Gu Zhiyao didn't take much energy this time, and thanks to Zhu Chengdong's quick response, otherwise he would be beaten to death by this kid. He smacked his lips and stopped teasing his little cousin, and said, "You don't have any grandparents now, and you still shout Grandpa, the old guy is waiting for you to change his address!"

Old General Chu was not angry when he heard his great-grandson address him like that, he just squinted at Zhu Chengdong and let out a breath that made his beard flutter.

Only then did Gu Zhiyao feel relieved, and happily called out "Grandfather", the old general was now happy, and smiled, "Hey" for the rest of his life, then reached out and handed a box to Gu Zhiyao .

"Thank you, grandfather." It was a flat square box, not light in weight, and Gu Zhiyao was not shy about it. After taking the box, he took out the sundries in the rucksack, and was about to put the box in.

The old general stopped Gu Zhiyao's hand, "Don't put it away in a hurry, open it and see what it is."

Gu Zhiyao hesitated a little, it would be too impolite to open the meeting gift from the elders in front of others.But the Chu family is full of generals, and the soldiers who have been fighting for many years don't care about those empty etiquettes. He only hesitated for a while, then he was relieved, and nodded with a smile: "Then Yaoer is rude."

"Those who make big things don't care about small things," the old general nodded in satisfaction, "Yao'er is indeed a child of my Chu family, that's right."

"My brother taught me better." Gu Zhiyao laughed a little embarrassedly, and opened the box to see what the old General Chu gave him.

Inside the box is a wreath, on which is hung a golden lock, inlaid with a piece of light blue Xiuyu, and below are hung three golden beads, each of which has four characters engraved on it.

One is safe and smooth, one is rich and prosperous, and one is blessed with long life.

Gu Zhiyao was a little dazed, he was thirteen, he was no longer a child, he didn't understand why he was given such a security lock.

"Is this necklace... for me?"

"Hahaha..." Seeing Gu Zhiyao's bewildered face, the old general stroked his beard and smiled brightly, "You don't need anything. When you first arrived in Qizhou, you didn't send any good things. It's thirteen. As a child, Cheng'er also had a golden lock when he was a child, but he had a big idea and refused to wear it no matter what, Yao'er is better than him, so this is an appropriate gift."

Gu Zhiyao finally understood that when his elder brother refused to wear a golden lock when he was a child, Old General Chu took him for sustenance.
