Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 18
Old Mrs. Du was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he was a scholar of the Wenhua Palace. He was the chief assistant of the dynasty. Not to be underestimated.

Even if Jing Guogong's son is a relative of the emperor, he should show some respect in front of the Du family.

Gu Qingyang greeted Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wang one by one, and then Mrs. Du smiled and said, "My son is in the Gu family, but his name is Qingyang?"

Gu Qingyang raised his hands, bowed and said, "That's right!" His gaze fell on Xiao Huaisu again, revealing a hint of curiosity.

In fact, he had noticed the clothes of the Du family a long time ago. From Mrs. Du's mother-in-law to Du Baiyan, they were all dressed in plain clothes. She is cute, although she is a little thinner, but her eyes are bright and bright, like stars in the sky, which makes people fall in love with her at the first sight.

Mrs. Du smiled slightly, and pointed to Xiao Huaisu, "Hurry up and salute the son!" Then she turned her head and said to Gu Qingyang: "This is my little granddaughter, this girl is also a poor girl, now that her mother is gone, she just follows her by my side."

Xiao Huaisu stepped forward to salute gracefully, this set of etiquette was taught to her by Mrs. Wang in advance, and she did it in a decent manner, calling out in a childish voice: "Brother Shizi!" After speaking, she raised her eyebrows , and smiled sweetly at Gu Qingyang.

"What a sweet little girl!"

Gu Qingyang's heart moved, he couldn't help but stepped forward two steps and pulled Xiao Huaisu up.

The little girl is still so small that he could only squat down to look at her at the same level. Seeing her agile appearance, he couldn't help reaching out and touching her bun. "I didn't prepare anything when I met my brother for the first time." After applying it, he took a crystal-clear gourd jade pendant and put it on the palm of Xiao Huaisu's palm, and said with a smile: "Take this little thing to play with!"

Xiao Huaisu played with the gourd jade pendant in his hand curiously. The jade pendant was cool to the touch, delicate and warm. The most rare thing was that it was extremely transparent without any impurities. I don't want to let go of it in my hand.

Mrs. Wang glanced at it slightly, and knew that the jade pendant was not an ordinary product, and saw that the blue net hanging on the jade pendant was old and thought it was something that was often worn, so she hurriedly said: "My son is too polite, Huai Su is still a child. , this can't be done!"

"Is it Huai Su?"

Gu Qingyang smiled, but took Xiao Huaisu's hand and stood up slowly, chewed her name carefully, raised his thick eyebrows, "What a good name!" Then turned to Wang, "Auntie, you're welcome, I heard that my fifth younger brother often visits Gu's house to bother you, you don't think he's bothering you." He actually bypassed the topic of giving gifts.

It's not good for Mrs. Wang to hurry up and talk, it seems that she is petty.

Du Boyan stepped forward and interjected: "I saw the Gu family's cavalry on the official road today, hurrying all the way, is there something urgent?"

After hearing the words, Gu Qingyang said apologetically: "I was in a hurry on this journey. I didn't expect to meet Fourth Uncle Du on the way. It's just that the horse team passed by so fast. I was lost for a while and didn't see it clearly. You can't argue with me. . ” In the words, the distance between Du Boyan and Du Boyan was unknowingly drawn, but he took his question out of the question and did not discuss it in depth.

Xiao Huaisu listened quietly from the side, and felt that Gu Qingyang handled it well. He was a young man with a heart, and he had a gentle temperament. He didn't have the arrogance of a wealthy child at all.

Xiao Huaisu turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang again. Although she tried her best to conceal it, the light of anticipation and joy still flashed in her eyes. Any mother would want to fall in love with such a son-in-law. , the key is that a person with good looks behaves well, who wouldn't be envious of such a son-in-law?

Mrs. Wang's performance is remarkable, and Mrs. Du must have noticed it too. It's just that there are some things that need to be said once. up.

Xiao Huaisu wanted to go back to Madam Du's side to stay, but Gu Qingyang didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he never let go of her hand, although his fingers were dry and soft, but she was sweating nervously, her little hands Involuntarily, it twisted quietly in the middle of his palm.

Such subtle movements naturally did not escape Gu Qingyang's eyes. With a smile on his lips, he glanced at Xiao Huaisu again, and said with concern: "What Huaisu wants to do, just tell Brother Shizi!" He smiled and explained to the Du family: "There is no younger sister in the family, and I feel very close to Huai Su when I see Huai Su. Don't feel that Qingyang is presumptuous!"

Old Madam Du smiled and waved her hands, "It is Huai Su's blessing to be favored by the Eldest Son!" Even after saying this, she stretched out her hand to beck Xiao Huai Su over, and Gu Qingyang had no choice but to let her go.

Xiao Huaisu quickly moved to Mrs. Du's side without even shaking a piece of her clothes. When she turned around and saw the narrow smile in Gu Qingyang's eyes, she couldn't help pursing her lips and humming softly.

His eyeballs rolled around, and after thinking about it, he felt like meeting a fox again.

It seems that this son of Lord Jingguo is not as approachable as he appears on the surface, a young man who is only thirteen or fourteen years old is so thoughtful, but thinking about the eight-year-old concubine Xiao Huairou in Xiao's mansion, he is not lacking in scheming, Xiao Huaisu was also slowly relieved.

The people around her are very smart, and not many are stupid, so she also wants to cheer up and be a human being!

With his hands behind his back, Gu Qingyang asked about Du Boyan's return to Bianjing, "The urgent matter at hand is over now, so it just so happens that the two families can go together!"

Wang was happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she just said: "Will this delay the son?"

"What did Auntie say? The two families are family friends, and it is necessary to take care of each other." Then he turned to Du Boyan and said, "My people have explored the road before. I'm afraid Fourth Uncle Du didn't know it. He said it was the mountain road ahead yesterday. The road was blocked by ice last night, I have ordered people to dig it first, I think it should be no problem to pass through tomorrow.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Du Boyan and the Du family members were all shocked. If they hadn't met Gu Qingyang, wouldn't it be difficult for them to move even an inch when they reached the mountain road tomorrow?

Xiao Huaisu blinked his big eyes curiously. Although he was still a little awkward in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a sense of admiration for Gu Qingyang. Regardless of his young age, he arranged everything properly, helping others without letting others feel It's because of his love, with a natural look, which makes people feel that he is polite and interesting, and at the same time, he has ironed it to his heart.

As expected, people are different, flowers are different, it's really hard for people not to like Gu Qingyang with his behavior!
The three rooms that Gu Qingyang gave up were at the corner from the two rooms they lived in, and there was a corridor between them, and they were guarded by guards from various prefectures, so no one could offend the other.
