Gu Qingjue reached out and took out a roll of red cloth from the hidden compartment of the bed board.
The cloth was tied with a very thin hemp thread, and I didn't know what was wrapped inside.
Su Yixin asked: "Is this what father and mother left behind?"
"Well, Sister Ming was afraid of sleeping alone yesterday, so she wet the bed with us in the middle of the night and wet the quilt. I found it by accident. I saw Dad taking this by chance before."
Gu Qingjue said, untying the thin hemp rope.
Unfold the red cloth, wrap it with an extremely worn parchment roll, and spread it out on the table.
It is a map, a map that is extremely simple.
A circle here, a dot there, without any markings or instructions.
Just ask, who can understand this?
Gu Qingjue calmly rolled up the sheepskin roll, tied it with the thin hemp rope just now, and handed it to Su Yixin.
"Give me?"
Su Yixin was slightly surprised and did not reach out to pick it up immediately.
"Well, that's what they came for. You are the only one who has the ability to protect this family."
Su Yixin looked at Gu Qingjue's firm eyes, and finally reached out to take it.
Although Gu Qingjue didn't say anything, Su Yixin understood that from now on, Gu Qingjue truly regarded her as a family, a family without distinction between each other.
Su Yixin couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. This feeling seemed quite good.
Putting the parchment away, Su Yixin told Gu Qingjue what she had learned today, and also shared her guesses.
Gu Qingjue said: "Nine times out of ten, your inference is correct. Six years ago, my father went to Gu's house in Jiangning Mansion and came back a month later. I clearly remember that my father did not come back from the road at the entrance of the village. He came back from the back mountain with a few injuries on his body. After that, my father rarely left the village. Even if he caught prey and needed to go to the town to exchange money, he would always ask Uncle Sanyun to take it with him. "
Su Yixin nodded: "So, Dad probably suspected that the Gu family was checking his whereabouts and deliberately took a detour back."
He did not leave the village after that to avoid exposure.
I just didn't expect that they would eventually find clues and follow him.
"You said that Dad is the youngest son of the Gu family. Based on Gu Ziyu's age and appearance, I think he should be your cousin!"
"But, Dad said that the eldest son of the Gu family has two sons. One is twenty-three years old, named Gu Nansheng, and the other is fifteen years old, named Gu Nanshan. There is no one named Gu Ziyu."
Six years ago, Gu Nansheng was now twenty-nine and Gu Nanshan was twenty-one.
Gu Nanshan is not the right age, so this Gu Ziyu is most likely the eldest son Gu Nansheng that Gu Mingbo mentioned.
After confirming their identities, the two of them felt much more at ease.
The next day, not long after the family had finished breakfast, Bai Yuannian and his wife came to the door with Bai Shiqian.
In addition to the two carriages in which Bai Yuannian, his wife and Bai Shiqian were riding, five carriages carrying goods followed, stopping in front of Gu's house.
The villagers stretched their necks to watch the excitement, but because of the momentum of the Bai family, they did not dare to join in rashly.
Luo Shi got off the carriage and ordered the driver to move things.
"Auntie, there are so many things, you have to move all the shops here!"
"Where there is too much, that's all."
Five carriages filled Su Yixin's room to the brim.
Su Yixin went numb immediately.
Forget it, reciprocate the favor and give it back to them elsewhere in the future.
After the things were moved, only two coachmen were left, and the other five were left. Luo Shi directly asked them to go back first.
The hospital is really too crowded.
When there were more people, Gu Qingxi went to Uncle Youde's house to borrow two benches, which was just enough to sit on.
Bai Shiqian's complexion improved a lot, his body and bones were not as good as before for the time being, and he could still move around freely.
So the couple took him to thank him.
When there were only the four of them in the Gu family, it felt quite big. But with the addition of Li Zhengzhen and Zeng Shengji, it felt a little crowded.
As soon as Bai Yuannian and his family arrived, the main hall was no longer enough.
This house must be expanded, and it must be greatly expanded.
There are guests at home, and Fang's mother is a little nervous. Her specialty is pasta, but as for cooking, she is just average.
Afraid of messing up the meal.
But Luo Shi was here, and Su Yixin, as the hostess, had to keep her company in the main hall.
Luo Shi had such a sharp eye that he could see the situation of the Gu family at a glance. Her emotional intelligence was so high that she took Su Yixin to the kitchen hall with a smile, saying that she wanted to show off her skills to Su Yixin.
Su Yixin politely said how could she let the guest do it.
What do you think Roche said?
"You've already called me aunt, but you're just saying that. If you're really sorry, why don't you cook two dishes for aunt to try? Just now I heard Sister Ming say that your cooking skills are better than those of the chefs outside. Not bad either.”
Ever since, Fang’s mother became the one who helped.
Su Yixin and Luo Shi showed their talents and cooked twelve dishes each.
Everything that flies in the sky, walks on the earth, and swims in the water is alive.
When guests were present, Li Zhengzhen and Zeng Shengji restrained themselves a lot and did not fight with chopsticks when picking up vegetables.
Even so, all the dishes were swept away, and the plates were so clean that people could be seen.
Su Yixin: "..."
Her embarrassed toes could dig out three rooms and one living room.
Before serving the meal, she motioned with her eyes to the two guys to calm down, and the two of them also gave her a signal to reassure her.
She really thought they were sensible.
did not expect……! ! !
Luo Shi said with a smile: "It's all your fault that girl Xin's cooking is so delicious. You can support my aunt. Come, take me to the lake in front to eat."
Luo Shi asked her to come out to eat to relieve the embarrassment.
We chatted with each other on the way, and it was very pleasant to arrive.
The two of them stood by the lake, looking back at the Gu family's house about a hundred meters above. Luo Shi suddenly said: "Have you bought all the land near the Gu family? If you have land, you can consider expanding the house."
Su Yixin nodded and said, "We are planning to start construction in two days."
Now that Luo Shi said this, she was still a little careless and did not think about the ownership of the land. She would have to go to Muramasa's house to discuss the land matter later.
And the house needs to be doubled in size based on her original idea.
The two walked around the lake for a quarter of an hour and then went back. Then they asked Anlan to make tea. At about the end of the day, Bai Yuannian and his wife took Bai Shiqian back to Yuanyuan Town.
Seeing that she had time, Su Yixin went to Muramasa's house with Gu Qingjue.
"You want to buy the land in front of the house?"
"Well, yes. There are more people in the family, and I want to expand a few rooms."
Muramasa stroked his beard and nodded, took an account book, put his index finger on his mouth, and started to flip through it.
"According to the size you mentioned, each of the four sides needs six feet, plus the two mountains behind the house, the money will be needed in total..."
Muramasa said, picking up the abacus on the table.
Before he started flipping the beads on the abacus, he heard Gu Qingjue say: "There are forty-two taels, eight hundred and fifty-four in total."
