In the end, Mrs. Gu made the decision and asked Mr. Gu to go and watch it together, and was not allowed to interfere in the matter. Mr. Gu had no objection to this decision. He just wanted to be with his daughter.
It was getting late, and Mr. Gu wanted to take Tianbao back to his room, but he was worried that Tianbao wouldn't want to, so he hesitated for a while, and couldn't ask a word for a long time. At first, Tianbao didn't see what Mr. Gu meant. It wasn't until Mrs. Gu said those words that Tianbao realized that her father missed her.
Immediately, Tianbao's eyes turned red. For fear that his family would notice something strange, he pretended to breathe a sigh of relief and took the opportunity to rub his eyes with his little hands. He didn't put down his hands until he felt a slight burning pain in his eyes. As if he was about to fall asleep, he said in a soft voice: "Dad, Tianbao is sleepy and wants to sleep with his parents."
Mr. Gu was overjoyed and took the opportunity to pinch himself. He felt a little pain and immediately became happy. , said to Mrs. Gu who was standing next to her: "Madam, Tianbao wants to sleep with me!" After saying that, he strode over, held Tianbao in his arms, and carefully led Tianbao out. main hall.
Mrs. Gu looked at Mr. Gu walking out, shook her head helplessly, sighed and followed him out. Not to mention that the old man missed his daughter, she also missed her very much.
Gu Laoqi and Gu Laosi lowered their heads slightly at this moment, with dark thoughts in their eyes, with emotions that ordinary people could not understand. Only Gu Laoqi beside him was quite embarrassed. He only heard him say: "I am so old, why "Dad never slept with me in his arms?"
He didn't understand. As long as he could remember, he slept with either the eldest brother or the second brother. It wasn't until the two brothers got married that he was left to the fourth brother. I lived in the academy, and I rarely remember sleeping with my parents.
Boss Gu and Si Gu looked at each other, as if they couldn't bear to hurt this silly boy. Not only did he not sleep with him once, but he was left to Boss Gu as soon as he was born. The old couple felt sorry for their daughter, all because of the boy. The absorption was so good that Gu Yan almost couldn't give birth. In anger, Mr. Gu made Gu Lao Qi the seventh child.
The two of them patted Gu Lao Qi's shoulders distressedly, and walked out of the main hall side by side with Gu Lao Qi's puzzled expression.
Gu Laoqi stood in the empty main hall and scratched his head. He didn't understand the actions of his two brothers just now. He couldn't think about it, so he stopped thinking. When he thought about going to the dental clinic tomorrow, his mood improved. He walked out of the house without looking back, waved his hand with his back to the room, and extinguished the candlestick on the main table.
He walked back to the main house in the moonlight.
Late at night, a white dove flew out of the mansion. The white dove's graceful figure slipped out of the sky and flew into the distance.

Gu family in Beijing.
The boy carried the familiar white pigeon and walked towards the study in a familiar manner. The guard standing outside the study was already familiar with the boy in front of him and let him in without looking at him.
Gu Xuanzong, the head of the Gu family, was sitting behind the desk, holding the letter that the boy had just handed over. He wrote a few words on the letter: The third master rented a small house, which was a little crowded, and the young lady cried.
Just three sentences, but the head of the Gu family read it no less than ten times. He suppressed his anger, held the note and asked his second brother standing aside, "Xuan Ting, come and see if I am dazzled." ."
When he said this, he gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Gu Xuanting, the second master of the Gu family, stepped forward and took the letter from his eldest brother. He read it word by word, more than three times. After reading it, he frowned and asked with a cold face. Gu Xuan, the seventh master of the Gu family.
"Lao Qi, have you given your third brother his annual salary?" The seventh master, Gu Xuanxuan, was confused. After hearing what the second brother said, he quickly said: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? Of course I gave him every penny!" And the third brother took it seriously every time. It was saved for his face!
The second master, Gu Xuanting, did not explain too much, but handed over the letter in his hand. The seventh master took the letter angrily and read it. His face became redder and redder as he read the last letter. He was so angry.
"Brother! Third brother is such a bully!"
The head of the Gu family looked gloomy and terrible. He thought for a while and said: "Originally, I thought about going to Fucheng in a few days, but it seems that I have to set off to Fucheng tomorrow. Tomorrow there will be family matters. They are all under the jurisdiction of the second son. Recently, the court has been in turmoil. The emperor has become more and more obsessed with the art of alchemy, and warned all the children of the Gu family to stay safe. "
Now the court is clearly divided, and the ministers in the court have taken sides. Because the Gu family has no female dependents, there is no place for them. The Gu family is willing to win over each other, which also makes the Gu family continue to maintain a neutral attitude. If others know about the female relatives of the third family...
I am afraid it will cause unnecessary disputes.
The words of the head of the Gu family caused the expressions of the people standing in the room to darken, and they all agreed in unison. That night, they sent letters to the Gu family's children outside, telling them to keep to themselves and not to do anything rash. If anyone didn't listen, they would be punished. Will serve according to family law.
That night, the Gu family in Beijing stayed awake all night. When the sky was slightly bright, a gray carriage quietly drove out of Beijing.
At dawn, Tianbao woke up early, twisted his little body and rolled into his mother's arms. He also raised his foot to kick Mr. Gu in his sleep. I saw Mr. Gu, half awake, grabbing those little fleshy feet, warming them with his generous palms, and said comfortingly: "Good girl, your feet are a little cold, daddy will warm them up for you." ."
After saying that, he continued to sleep, but the posture in his hands did not change at all.
No one saw the sweet baby in Mrs. Gu's arms, and her ears turned red.
At dawn, Mrs. Gu got up early, looked at Tianbao who was still sleeping, and tucked in the quilt, and then looked at Mr. Gu who was still warming Tianbao's feet. At this moment, she had a rare opportunity to warm Tianbao's feet. The old man covered himself with quilt. If Mr. Gu were awake at this moment, he would be very happy.
After getting dressed, Mrs. Gu went to the kitchen. Four people were already standing in the kitchen. Gu Yan was wrapped in a white cloth, holding a spatula in one hand and a pot lid in the other. There was warm water on the stove.
Gu Yan planned to boil water for cooking. As soon as the water was warmed, Old Mrs. Gu walked in and rolled up her sleeves and said, "Is there anything mom can do?" As soon as
Old Mrs. Gu said this, Gu Yan Naturally, she would not be polite to Mrs. Gu, so she thought for a moment and said, "Mom, then go and help my sister-in-law choose vegetables." There are
many people in the family, and they eat a lot of vegetables. Each time they wash vegetables, they need several pots, but cooking is not easy. It took a lot of time, but now it's just washing vegetables.
Old Mrs. Gu nodded, and after seeing two stoves in the house, she went to prepare egg custard for Tianbao and her grandchildren. Tianbao and the others had not taken good care of themselves these days.
If Tianbao knew what his mother was thinking now, he would probably skip a bowl of rice with tears in his eyes. After all, the circle on his belly would get bigger again!
