"Sir, how is my son doing now?"
"How come you haven't gotten better after sleeping for so many days?"
Anxious questions came from outside the door, making Gu Beichuan turn over in annoyance.
"Exceptor Gu, logically speaking, Mr. Gu is in good health and should have woken up long ago. Why this happened? Please forgive me for my poor medical skills. I have never heard of it."
After a brief silence, there was a sigh.
"Sir, please go slowly. Please come back for a follow-up consultation tomorrow."
Ta-ta-ta, ta-ta-ta.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, making Gu Beichuan frown.
What are you doing outside? No more square dancing? Changed to a small theater?
"If you ask me, Xiaochuan should be kept at home, so as not to hang out with those people outside."
"It was fine in the past, but now it's better. A child who doesn't know how to swim has to go into the lake with others, and now he ends up in a coma." A slightly sharp female voice sounded, making Gu Beichuan frown. Tighter.
"Stop saying a few words. Xiaochuan is a good boy, but he was spoiled by the bad friends outside."
"Xiao Wen is still obedient. He studies hard on weekdays and doesn't let me worry about him. I don't know what grades he can get this autumn." Although the words spoken by the woman were plain, her tone was obviously a little showy.
"That's enough!" Gu Beichuan couldn't bear it anymore. He sat up from the bed and roared: "You disturb the people so late at night, why don't you let them sleep?"
The voice was so powerful that it spread directly from the room.
But the next moment, Gu Beichuan was stunned.
Why is it daytime? Why doesn't it seem like it's my home?
boom!
The door opened and three heads poked in.
One person is slightly bloated. He is middle-aged, but his face is rosy and he looks wealthy. However, there is a deep sadness lingering between his brows.
There was also a woman with a fine appearance and a graceful temperament. At this moment, his mouth was slightly opened, looking at Gu Beichuan on the hospital bed with surprise on his face.
The third person is a teenager, whose eyebrows vaguely resemble those of a middle-aged man and a woman. When he saw Gu Beichuan, he didn't react at all, his face was calm.
"Xiaochuan, how are you?" The middle-aged man was Gu Jun, Gu Beichuan's biological father.
Before Gu Beichuan could answer, a wave of memories surged into his mind, overwhelming his consciousness.
Seeing Gu Beichuan fainting again, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
...
It was evening, and the cicadas were chirping.
Gu Jun was alone, looking at the sunset in the sky, sighing with emotion.
"Evian, our children have grown up."
"I just don't know why I'm so stubborn."
"It's also my fault. I earn some money on weekdays, but I neglected Xiaochuan."
"Ogawa is not young anymore, it's time to be sensible."
Gu Jun's usually charitable face couldn't help but reveal a ruthless look.
If jade is not polished, it cannot be used. If it continues like this, Xiaochuan will probably be ruined.
Don't blame dad, dad is doing it for your own good.
...
The next morning, at the Gu family mansion.
The Gu family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. The head of the family, Gu Jun, makes a living by doing business. He has rich family assets but not a prosperous population.
After the death of his first wife Liu Yiyun, he was able to renew his relationship and marry the Hu family.
Compared with the three wives and four concubines of other merchant families, the Gu family can be regarded as a pure family.
At breakfast time, the family of four gathered together.
After the meal, Gu Jun said: "Chuan'er is already 18 this year."
Hearing the cheap daddy's question, Gu Beichuan, who had not yet adapted to his new identity, had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"In two years' time, we will be old enough to be weak. We can't be so stubborn anymore. Otherwise, how can I leave the Gu family's business in your hands with confidence?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Hu frowned, but curled her lips calmly.
Gu Xingwen, son of the Hu family and Gu Beichuan's cheap brother, looked as usual, lowering his head to eat his breakfast, and seemed not to be interested in what the adults said.
"Father, don't worry, the child will be spared."
After receiving the memory, Gu Beichuan also knew what kind of person he was, and it was normal for his old father to worry.
"In that case, your mother left you a brewing shop in Huainan during her lifetime, so you can go and take care of it."
Hearing this, everyone stopped.
Mrs. Hu's eyebrows were filled with joy, and Gu Xingwen's eyebrows were filled with surprise.
Gu Beichuan said directly: "Huainan?"
"That's right, a manly man should have his ambitions in all directions. Why do you only know how to mess with the local three religions and nine low-ranking servants? It's time for you to go out and see the world and gain some experience."
It seemed that he was afraid that his son would not agree, so Gu Jun tried to explain.
But who knows, the life-and-death situation they imagined did not appear.
Gu Beichuan didn't seem to care, nodded and said hello, and then said, "When will you leave?"
"It's up to you." Gu Jun was both relieved and worried when he saw his son's attitude.
He was happy because his son finally became more sensible, but he was worried because Gu Beichuan had never traveled far.
Although Huainan is not a bitter and cold place, it is still slightly inferior to Jiangnan, which has always been prosperous.
...
Early the next morning, without disturbing his second aunt, Gu Beichuan simply said goodbye to his cheap daddy and set off on his way to Huainan.
The only people following him along the way were an old servant and a maid.
The old servant's name was Uncle Fu, and he was the servant of Gu Beichuan's dead mother. It could be said that he had watched Gu Beichuan grow up.
Gu Jun originally advised him to live out his life in the Gu Mansion, but Uncle Fu insisted on being stubborn, saying that the young master is the young lady's flesh and blood, and I am the young lady's servant. Now that the young lady is gone, she will naturally become the young master's domestic servant. How can there be a domestic servant? Don't you follow the master's principles?
The maid's name is Xiu'er, she has a sweet appearance. She was sold into the Gu Mansion at a young age and has taken care of Gu Beichuan's daily life since she was a child. She is considered a personal maid.
"Master, don't resent me in your heart."
"They are both father and son, no matter what, the master always has the young master in his heart."
On the carriage, seeing Gu Beichuan not saying a word, Uncle Fu offered words of comfort.
"Humph, in my opinion, it's a good idea to go, otherwise, if you stay at home, the young master will inevitably be ostracized by the second wife."
"The master is kind-hearted. He never said anything to the second wife. He always makes the master angry for nothing." Xiu'er is still in her twenties and eight years, with a child's heart, she will say whatever comes to her mind.
Uncle Fu, however, straightened his face and said, "Xiu'er, how dare you speak nonsense about the Second Madam!"
Seeing Uncle Fu's anger, Xiu'er immediately dared not speak anymore and stuck out her tongue, looking cute and charming.
"Xiu'er is right, well done." Gu Beichuan finally spoke, looking at the scenery outside the window.
well!
Hearing this, Uncle Fu couldn't help but sigh.
How could he not know?
It's a pity that the young lady passed away so early, leaving the young master helpless in the Gu family. If there is any dissatisfaction with Mr. Hu in his heart, how will he live in the future?
If Miss Quan Xia knew about it, she would be worried about breaking her heart.
What Gu Beichuan was thinking was that he was a time traveler and was not very familiar with the Gu family.
Over time, it is inevitable that the truth will be exposed.
It would be better to go to Huainan, where the sky is vast and the earth is vast, and you are free and at ease.
"Master, Huainan County has arrived!"
Gu Beichuan, who was just imagining things, was interrupted by Uncle Fu. He looked out the window and saw the water of the Huaihe River flowing endlessly.
Huainan, here I come.
