When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 87 87 Gu Hua, We Are Being Looked Down On

The pleasure boat docked at the Beijing pier, attracting onlookers from the surrounding crowd. Gu Hua regretted having come to Beijing on this privately-ordered boat.

As soon as she arrived, she attracted so much attention that she was afraid that she would not be able to keep a low profile in the capital during this period of time.

...I am destined to be the fat sheep.

The pleasure boat has a four-cornered pavilion with flying eaves and pointed corners, and an exquisite design. It stands at the bow. It has a beauty backrest, coiled flower columns, colorful paintings, and embossed auspicious clouds, layer upon layer, which are staggered and finely carved.

In addition to the carvings and stained glass windows, the entire ship also has a graceful, high-raised stern.

The carved railing at the stern echoes the carvings on the cabin and bow, and the hull is surrounded by embossed auspicious clouds, adding a sense of richness and splendor to the entire ship.

"The servants at the dock who were sent by an unknown family to pick up people were stunned with surprise when they saw Gu Hua and his group getting off the highly anticipated boat.

"The master received a letter a few days ago saying that the relatives from Jiangzhou City will arrive in the next two days. Could this be it?"

"Impossible. I heard from Madam that the relative of the master's family is just an ordinary merchant family. How could they have such a grand occasion?"

In this way, a few servants passed by Gu Hua and his group, but no one took the initiative to step forward to inquire whether they were the guests to be welcomed in their house.

As soon as Gu Hua walked out of the dock, a tall young man ran over and knelt down to pay her respects, "Second noble greets the master."

"Get up." Gu Hua said sincerely, "I haven't seen you for a few years. Ergui has grown into a big boy."

“Hehe…” Ergui stood up, scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly.

Dagui, who had become Gu Hua's butler and was going to take over his father's position as the chief butler, patted his silly brother on the head and said, "Don't be silly. The masters have been tired from the boat ride. Take us to the house the master bought in the capital."

Ergui jumped over and said, "Brother, stop hitting me. It would be stupid of you to hit me again."

Gu Hua took the children and got on the carriage that Ergui had brought. It was the first time for the children to travel far away after they grew up. They were very curious about everything outside, and they leaned against the carriage window to look out with bright eyes.

It was even more lively outside the imperial city as the carriage entered. Court officials crowded around, and the noise of carriages and horses made the prosperous scene in the city dazzling.

The market is bustling with people, with all kinds of valuable goods on display, the shouts of street vendors, and the acrobats who amaze people again and again...

The prosperous scene at this time and the ragged disaster victims who had left their hometowns and brought their families with them that Gu Hua saw on the road seemed to live in two different worlds.

Gu Hua tried her best to buy some food to distribute to the victims along the way, but it was difficult for her to help the people in Daxuan even if she spent all her money on it.

If we want the disaster victims to no longer be displaced and unable to return home, the court must introduce corresponding policies to provide disaster relief and comfort the people, only then can the fundamental problem be solved.

It has been a long time since the natural disasters of floods in the south and severe drought in the northwest. Even if the officials below were afraid of taking responsibility and did not report the matter truthfully, it is impossible that the court did not hear any news.

Since the imperial court has not taken any action so far, it is probably either that the treasury is really empty, or that the people above simply don't want to care about the lives of the victims.

The carriage arrived at East City, where most of the wealthy people lived. This was a three-courtyard house that Gu Hua bought when he transferred Ergui and Yan Minghua to Beijing to open a branch a year ago.

There is a vermilion gate with a plaque above it that reads "Gu's House".

When you walk in, you will see a wall with the Chinese character "Fu" on it. Then you will walk through the screen door to the front yard, where there are five or six rooms in the front row. After you walk through the hanging flower door, you will enter the inner yard, where there are five main rooms, an annex room on the left, a hall on the right, six side rooms and corridors on the left and right, and a row of servants' rooms in the back yard.

The small courtyard surrounded by green plants and flowers is in full bloom. The colorful flowers complement the rockery, flowing water and pavilions, exuding an inadvertent elegance.

Gu Hua arranged the guards brought by Mu Feng in the back room in the front yard, and let the other servants live in the back room. Some of Xia He and Chun Lan's close maids stayed in the yard to serve the mother and their children because they had to take care of several children.

Dagui became the manager of this temporary residence, arranging the chores in the house when Gu Hua was away.

After washing up, take a night's rest.

When the four little guys came to the new house, they were curious about everything they saw. Gu Hua did not restrain their nature of love of play and exploration. He told Xia He to bring people to follow them and not let them get close to the ornamental lake in the yard.

Gu Hua sat in the middle of the lobby and listened to Ergui and Yan Minghua, who had not gone to pick up anyone at the shop yesterday, reporting on the business performance of the silk and fur shop that had just opened in Beijing for more than a year.

Overall, I have made money over the past year.

Gu Hua: "You have done a great job. Thank you for your hard work."

Ergui: "These are what the little ones should do."

Yan Minghua: "This is my duty."

Both of them were very happy that the shop they had worked hard to run was recognized by Gu Hua, the owner and manager. Gu Hua was not such a stingy boss, and since they were doing a good job, he gave them a raise.

Since he had come to the capital, Gu Hua had no reason not to visit his cheap uncle, so he bought some high-quality food and clothes and went to visit Chen Yunting, the original owner's uncle.

Gu Hua didn't take care of the child. This was the first time she had visited her uncle's house after traveling back in time for several years. She didn't know what kind of people this family was like. If they were good, she would bring them to meet the relatives and elders next time...

When Gu Hua arrived at the gate of the Chen Mansion, the doorman heard that she was a relative of his master who came to visit. He saw that although Gu Hua's clothes were not luxurious, the material of her clothes was the best brocade. He did not make things difficult for her and ran in to report.

Soon, a cute maid followed the doorman out. Seeing Gu Hua wearing a plain brocade robe and not wearing any valuable gold, silver or jade ornaments, she curled her lips and said, "My master and eldest son are both on duty at the government office. Madam told you to wait in the small hall. She will come out to see you when she is free."

Gu Hua paused slightly. She was still looked down upon.

According to Gu Hua's personality, since the other party looked down on him, he should leave tactfully.

But thinking of Lord Tian, ​​the prefect of Jiangzhou, who had been asked by his uncle to take care of him, Gu Hua suppressed the urge to leave and followed the maid into the small flower hall of the Chen Mansion, waiting to be summoned when he was free.

In memory, Chen Yunting and the eldest son Chen Ling both loved the original owner very much. Knowing that the cheap uncle had been promoted to the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in recent years, Gu Hua was still very happy for him.

It was not until she sat in the small living room and was left out for an hour by her aunt whom she had never met that Gu Hua became a little unhappy.

As noon was approaching, Gu Hua said that being looked down upon was ok, but not being allowed to have lunch was too much.

For those who have survived the end of the world, eating is the most important thing in the world.

Gu Hua found the housekeeper and out of respect for his cheap uncle, he remained polite and said, "Since your wife is not available to see me, I will take my leave first."
