After entering the inner city, it’s quick to go home.
After passing the official inspection, we did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
Li Erlang drove the carriage straight home.
There was a lot of movement in the carriage.
When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, Uncle Fu was already waiting with a lantern.
Seeing the familiar carriage, Uncle Fu quickly shouted inside, asking Old Man Gu to come out.
When the carriage stopped at the door, Old Man Gu was already waiting in a thick cotton-padded jacket.
"Grandpa, we are back."
Su Yu got out of the car first, and then helped Gu Changle down.
The two of them greeted Old Man Gu together.
Old Man Gu said lovingly: "It's good to be back."
"It happens that the kitchen is still heating up the food, so you can eat it when you come in."
Su Yu smiled and said: "Chang Le, let's go in first."
"We brought back a lot of specialties from the village, and I helped carry them into the house before eating them."
Su Yu thought that he would help move it along, which would make it much faster.
But Fu Bo said, "Just go into the house and I'll call my son to help."
Then he shouted towards the house next to him.
Someone over there probably heard the noise outside and walked near the door to check.
A reply soon came.
After the door next door opened, a man about half shorter than Li Erlang came out holding a lantern.
"Dad, did you call me?"
This unfamiliar voice called dad, which attracted Su Yu's eyes.
Although the carriage was blocking it, the man's full face could not be seen for the time being.
But Su Yu knew that he had never seen this person before.
soon.
The man walked up to several people.
Although the lantern was not very bright, Su Yufa could still see clearly.
This man's face looked very similar to Uncle Fu's.
Then think of what he called dad just now.
It was definitely not Old Man Gu.
so.....
"Uncle Fu, is this your son too?"
Uncle Fu was stunned and opened his mouth.
"Yes, I, my son, Li Dabao..."
This is his biological son, the third steward of the Huainan Palace.
When Su Yu and the others returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, Old Man Gu also took them back to the palace.
After handling some official business, I stayed for almost a month before returning to Fucheng.
In fact, they only came back two or three days earlier than Su Yu and the others.
Gu Changle is basically taking care of the palace's accounts.
So Li Dabao also came here to compare last quarter's accounts with Gu Changle.
After the confrontation, he would return to the palace.
I just told him what happened here yesterday, but just now Li Dabao didn't remember it and made a mistake.
After Uncle Fu finished speaking, Su Yu glanced at Gu Changle.
The look in his eyes seemed to be asking, there are people lined up in the first, second and third places, this can’t be Shiro, right?
Li Dabao was somewhat older than Li Xiangbei, or Li Dalang as Su Yu and others called him.
Not only compared with the tender-faced Li Sanlang, but also compared with Li Erlang, he looked older.
If you want to forcefully say that he is younger than Li Sanlang, Gu Changle can't even make it up.
She smiled slightly at Su Yu when she was about to say something.
Fortunately, Li Dabao reacted quickly, and he quickly interrupted: "You are Changle's husband, and you are the head of this court examination, right?"
"I am the adopted son of your neighbor Fu Bo. I used to work in the provincial government."
"I have these two days off, so I came back to see my dad and some brothers."
"I just happened to meet you and Changle back, and I am also blessed with your case, haha..."
This call made Old Man Gu almost unable to hold back his laughter.
He coughed lightly and turned around, his shoulders shaking slightly.
Li Erlang, who was carrying a box over there, also stumbled and was almost hit by the box.
The corner of Fu Bo's mouth twitched.
Even if he had a few more sons for no reason, his biological son became an adopted son.
Who can he talk to for reason?
Uncle Fu also smiled and said: "Haha, yes..."
"His name is Li Dabao..."
"Call out Dalang and Sanlang and help move things in."
"It's cold outside, don't hang around outside."
Too many words are wrong.
Uncle Fu quickly changed the subject and asked them to call someone to move things.
Then he said to Su Yu: "Haha, you and Chang Le should go in first."
"You don't need a scholar like you to do such heavy work as moving things."
Su Yu thanked him and said, "I'll spare your trouble."
Fu Bo waved his hand and turned around to give instructions.
Suddenly, I seemed to remember something.
He approached Su Yu and whispered: "That, that..."
"Dabao looks a bit like me..."
Su Yu actually had some doubts.
Li Dalang, Li Erlang and Li Sanlang are not very similar to Uncle Fu.
But this adopted son looks quite similar.
Uncle Fu probably had this in mind as well, so he pulled Su Yu to say these words.
Uncle Fu pinched his thigh and continued in a low voice: "He, he is actually my biological son..."
"But I can't admit it for the time being..."
Su Yu suddenly realized.
I see.
No wonder this adopted son looks so much like Uncle Fu.
It turned out that he was the son of Uncle Fu's wife.
Seeing that Uncle Fu looks quite honest, I didn’t expect him to be quite playful, right?
However, in ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines.
Uncle Fu had no official status and could not take concubines.
If the first wife of the family does not agree with the girl he recognizes as his goddaughter, then he can only secretly raise an illegitimate wife.
Old Man Gu's family is well off, and Uncle Fu should be doing well too.
It should be affordable to raise an illegitimate child.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Fu, this is your family matter and I won't talk to anyone else."
Gu Changle, who was on the side, could hear the two talking and couldn't help but glance at Uncle Fu.
Then, he quickly withdrew his gaze.
Can't watch anymore.
Even when you look at yourself, you have to laugh.
Old Man Gu probably hid aside and laughed secretly: "Grandpa is so happy to see you guys back, haha."
"Come inside."
"Eat first, don't go hungry."
There was a smile in his voice, and the folds on his face were smiling.
It can be seen that he is quite happy.
Su Yu thanked Uncle Fu and his family again and asked Li Erlang to come over tomorrow to pay his wages.
Only then did he and Gu Changle follow Old Man Gu through the door.
After the three figures disappeared, Li Dabao stepped forward.
"Dad, I just forgot..."
Uncle Fu himself was a little bit dumbfounded.
"That's all, you've just arrived, so it's normal that you're not used to it."
"Just keep it tight from now on."
Li Dabao touched the back of his head and asked with some confusion: "But don't you all say that my uncle is very good?"
"Why can't you tell him the truth?"
For the sake of the happiness of their princess, an old man like Uncle Fu ruined his reputation.
Li Dabao was a little puzzled.
Fu Bo whispered seriously: "You don't understand."
"How do you tell me this?"
"For him, our princess gave him the back door and walked to the hospital to get the first place in the examination."
"But my uncle always thought that he passed the exam because of his own strength!"
"Now that he knows this, how can the couple be okay?"
"Anyway, this is something for the masters to consider, so let's not talk about it behind our backs."
