my grandmother

Chapter 127 Persuasion
As soon as Gu Yan got off his horse at the gate, the steward on duty rushed out to greet him, and lowered his hands to report: "Master Shi, Miss Shi is waiting for you in the second gate, and has something to tell you."

Gu Yan frowned slightly, "What happened?"

"I don't know about the little one here." The steward pointed to another steward who was waiting in line behind him, "The little one just took over from Steward Cui's class."

Gu Yan looked at Guanshi Cui.

Cui Guanshi hurriedly took a step forward, and lowered his hand to report: "Back to Shi Ziye, an hour and a half ago, the Governor of the Pingjiang Mansion, Liu Fu, came to see the Shi Zi, and the younger one said that he did not know when the Shi Zi would come back, so Liu Fu Yin left a message : Kunshan County Magistrate Huang Xianzhou has been ordered to go to the customs department to assist in the investigation.

"When Mr. Liu Fuyin was leaving, he happened to welcome the second wife and the girls back home. The second wife and Miss Shi asked Mr. Liu what's the matter..."

Steward Cui reported to Gu Yan the few sentences of the conversation at the gate in detail.

Gu Yan let out a faint oh, went up the steps, and went straight to the Banqiu Pavilion.

In the Wanqiu Pavilion, Mrs. Shi was leaning on a gooseneck chair with her pink neck slightly drooping and reading a book. There were two big girls standing beside Miss Shi on the left and right of the door. When they saw Gu Yan, they lowered their eyes and bent their knees.

Gu Yan went up the steps, stood at the door of Banqiu Pavilion, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Your sister is looking for me?"

"En." Mrs. Shi stood up, bowed her knees to salute, lowered her head and eyes, held the scroll in both hands, slowly turned it around twice, and summoned up her courage: "I just came back from the theater with my second aunt. I met Liu Fu Yin at the door."

Gu Yan waved the folding fan slowly, looked at Mrs. Shi, and waited for her to continue.

Mrs. Shi lowered her head and was silent for a while, then suddenly raised her head to look at Gu Yan, "Did Huang Xianzhou, the county magistrate of Kunshan, offend my cousin?"

"Huh?" Gu Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, then smiled and said, "Where did you say that?"

"Liu Fu Yin came here just to say that Huang Xianzhou, the magistrate of Kunshan County, has gone to the Customs Department to assist with the work. Is he here to talk to my cousin?" Mrs. Shi looked at Gu Yan.

"You think too much about everything. I'm on the job of Jiangnan Watcher, and of course you have to let me know about the transfer of a county magistrate." Gu Yan laughed.

"Cousin didn't answer my question." Mrs. Shi lowered her eyes, "Cousin said he was too familiar with me, so why not I to my cousin. Cousin can't lie to me."

Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak.

"My cousin's temper is not only told by me, but also by the prince and princess. The most important thing for a cousin with his status is to be magnanimous. It depends on whether he is competent for the job, not by the local officials. Temper depends on preference." Mrs. Shi said with downcast eyes.

"Well, what you said is very true, teachable." Gu Yan bowed his body and cupped his hands.

Mrs. Shi raised her head and looked at Gu Yan in surprise.

According to her past experience, he must explain and argue with her, and she has to spend all her time trying to convince him. This time, before she finished speaking, he was taught?
Taking advantage of Mrs. Shi's dazed effort, Gu Yan cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lady, I will definitely keep it in my heart. Thank you, lady, for your trouble."

Mrs. Shi stared blankly at Gu Yan who was walking down the steps quickly, stayed for a while, then slowly went down the steps, and walked back in a daze.

Cousin is very different from before, this difference made her feel a sense of vain anxiety and bewilderment that she had never felt before.

Gu Yan took big strides, turned two corners, stopped suddenly, and looked up at a group of chirping birds on the tree.

He has always admired Shi Shi's sharpness, and he still admires it very much now.

Her persuasion was not wrong, he used to be really bad-tempered, but now he has a good temper, she didn't know it, she still advised him as he used to when he was bad-tempered, that's right!

But he was in a bad mood.

It was the same in the past, every time she advised her, she was right, but every time he admitted his mistake and accepted her advice, he would feel depressed and irritable just like now.

"Prepare the horse, go for a walk." Gu Yan turned and walked out.

All the way to the gate in a hurry, Gu Yan suddenly ordered, "Go and call Wan Qing!"

Wan Qing was so out of breath that she ran out of the gate, a guard hurriedly took a step forward, clasped her hands to signal Wan Qing, Wan Qing rushed forward from the steps, put one foot in the guard's palm, the guard Taking advantage of the situation, he lifted Wan Qing to the horse's back.

At the front of the line, Gu Yan whipped his whip and galloped out.

It wasn't until she got off her horse at the entrance of Cailian Lane that Wan Qing finally recovered her breath.

In the Li family, there was only sister Mei, who was sitting on the mat sewing a quilt.Looking up and seeing it was Wan Qing, she hurriedly smiled and said, "I went out early in the morning and went to Wujiang County, Wuqiao Town, Wujiang County."

"Thank you." Wan Qing replied with a smile, turned around, and ran down the steps.

Seeing Wan Qing turn around, Sister Mei suddenly realized that every time she came to look for Ah Nan, she had to tell this and that when Ah Nan went out, and then asked her to prevent the elder sister from knowing.

"Hey!" Sister Mei hurriedly stood up, put on her shoes and chased after her, Wan Qing was no longer in sight.

"Ah!" Sister Mei slapped herself on the forehead.

Ah Nan went to Wujiang County in a car with her elder sister!
It's all right, Sister Mei comforted herself by waving her hand, that noble man is so honorable, it's impossible that he can't find it here, and he still has to find Wujiang County.

it's okay no problem!It's sure to be fine!
In the teahouse, Gu Yan heard Wan Qing's report and immediately went out, "Go to Wujiang County."

Li Xiaonan and Li Jinzhu were in the car, while Ah Wu and Wang Yuting were driving back without any haste.

In the distance, the horse's hooves rushed, and the smoke and dust rose.

Ah Wu immediately stood on the horse's back, put his hands on the awning and looked into the distance. After a while, he sat on the horse's back with an excited expression on his face, "It seems to be Shi Ziye and the others, I'll go and have a look!"

"Don't go! It's none of your business! What do you want to see!" Li Xiaonan stopped immediately.

"Master!" Ah Wu glared at Li Xiaonan.

"It's none of your business, Master Shizi, you'll be excited when you see Master Shizi, what's the matter, you still have a job as an official?" Li Xiaonan said bluntly.

"What's the matter with being an official and a half job? It's only natural to learn literary and martial arts and sell it to the emperor's family!" Ah Wu went back.

"Only your three-legged cat's kung fu can be regarded as literary and martial arts? Don't go!" Li Xiaonan reiterated again.

Li Jinzhu held the soles of his shoes and looked at the two with a smile.

During these few trips, she has long been used to the bickering between Li Xiaonan and Ah Wu.

"It's really the son of the world." Wang Yuting also stood on the back of the horse and looked at it, then sat down and smiled.

"Look, my cousin also said that I am the son of the world!" A Wu pointed at the cloud of smoke and dust.

"I didn't say I wasn't the son of your family, I just said I'm not allowed to go."

"Can you control me?" Ah Wu shook the whip forcefully.

"En!" Li Xiaonan hummed with absolute certainty.

Ah Wu stared at Li Xiaonan, held back for a long time before speaking, "I don't care about you."

Li Jinzhu laughed.

In a few words, the rapid sound of horseshoes was very close. Wang Yuting stepped on the stirrup, stretched his neck to look, and Ah Wu also stepped on the stirrup and stood up.

Gu Yan, who was at the front, stopped the galloping horse, took two steps forward, turned around, and approached.

"look……"

Ah Wu's excitement was interrupted by Gu Yan's voice, "Is it Miss Li?"

"Looking for you." Ah Wu sat back down.

Li Xiaonan stood up from the carriage.Li Jinzhu hurriedly inserted the needle into the sole of the shoe, and stretched out his head to look at Gu Yan.

"Big lady." Gu Yan slightly nodded at Li Jinzhu, "I have a few words to tell Ah Nan, and I will send her back."

"Oh." Li Jinzhu responded subconsciously.

The guards led the bay red horse close to the cart, Li Xiaonan stepped on the cart and rode on the horse, and waved to Li Jinzhu, "Don't worry, elder sister, I can ride a horse."

"Send the lady back well." Gu Yan pointed at A Wu with his horsewhip, gave some instructions, reined in the horse, and turned to another road.

The bay red horse followed Gu Yan's horse obediently, and ran away wagging its tail.

Ah Wu saw a group of people walking away quickly, and sighed, dejected.

She always felt that she was going to be dominated by this little girl, A Nan, for the rest of her life!
"Elder Sister, don't worry, it's okay, your grandson is fine." Wang Yuting looked at Li Jinzhu, who was full of worries, and comforted him.

Li Jinzhu hummed, picked up the sole of the shoe, lowered his head, and put the sole of the shoe away with a heavy heart.

The better the son was, the more she worried about Ah Nan.
