“Right. Other than rebellion, these are the most serious crimes. The key is that these are also the fastest and most coveted ways to earn money.
“Your father and the First Prince are mainly suffering because of this, so this silver must not be touched.”
Then, Gu Chengrui used a pot to brew some chrysanthemum tea. The two of them drank some water and went to sleep.
They woke up early the next day and went to the old mansion for dinner. Gu Chengrui saw that the old madam had also woken up and was quite tidy.
“Grandma, you’re not going to help too, are you?” He asked curiously.
“That’s right. It was not easy for us to produce a scholar in our clan during the past hundred years. No matter what, I have to go over and help today.” Madam Qiao replied cheerfully.
Mrs. Yao saw this and walked over. “Chengrui, hurry up and persuade her. Your grandmother’s health is not very good. How can she be exposed to the wind and sun outside?”
“That’s true. You should stay at home. You can go over and join in the fun tomorrow.” Gu Chengrui echoed.
“Indeed. Grandma, just listen to us. Young people like us will be watching over the banquet preparation.” Gu Chengye echoed.
“What’s going on? What are you guys talking about?” At this moment, Mr. Gu rushed back from outside.
Gu Chengye told him about Madam Qiao’s intention.
“Mother, there are many people there, old and young. You won’t have any work to do. You should rest well at home.
“Now that you’re back, it’s true that there’s no need for me to go.
“By the way, where are Gu Zhi and your second son?”
“They will be there soon. We also heard the news of Chengsi and the others returning and rushing back overnight.”
“Hurry up and wash up. Mrs. Guo, please cook for three more people.” After Madam Qiao finished speaking to Mrs. Guo, who had just finished washing the dishes, she turned around and returned to her room.
“Father, this is Chenglin. He has changed his surname to Gu Chenglin.” Gu Chengrui pulled Gu Chenglin out from behind him.
“Of course, I remember him. I brought him lots of food and toys when he was young. I just didn’t expect him to grow up so quickly.” Mr. Gu smiled and pinched his little face.
“Uncle, you’re pinching my face again.” Gu Chenglin dodged and complained.
“Haha, you still have the same expression as when you were young.” Mr. Gu’s expression turned serious. “It’s good that you changed your surname. You’ll be a child of the Gu family from now on.
“If you need anything or suffer any grievances, just tell your two uncles.”
“I understand,” Gu Chenglin said.
After a few polite words, Mr. Gu went in to wash up. Soon, Second Uncle Gu and Gu Chengzhi rushed back.
After some pleasantries, Gu Chengrui and his group of four went to the ancestral hall first.
At this moment, outside the ancestral hall, the clansmen had already set up a stove.
They then set up a simple tent with cloth and gra.s.s curtains. The four of them quickly ran over to help.
Not long after, the women in the village rushed over and helped prepare the banquet, especially the steamed buns, pork knuckles, and braised beef. They needed to prepare things in advance.
Everyone was busy for a day.
Of course, they also prepared some simple dishes for lunch and dinner to entertain everyone.
The Gu family members had all changed into clean clothes early the next morning. They began to wait in the village to welcome guests from all over.
The first to arrive were Sun Hongliang and Manager Liu. However, after the two of them put down the gifts and the two chefs that had been sent over, they went straight back to town.
Following that, as the patriarch had guessed, many uninvited wealthy people came.
Of course, all the married girls in the village, especially those from the Gu clan, refused their entry.
For a moment, the village was filled with welcoming laughter mixed with the noise of the children..
