Chapter 322 Handing over Power
He was sincere when he said this, and Mrs. Gu also saw it, and then listened to Gu Shaoyu's calm words.
"Uncle Qitang, don't worry. If the young man is in danger, he will never let the glory of the Gu family be annihilated."
After hearing his words, the seventh old man also nodded with rare relief.
Then he said to the person behind him.
"Go, get the account books and keys from the warehouse and hand them over to the head of the family and Shao Yu!"
"Yes, Master."
Hearing this, everyone else's expressions were not very good. They thought that the seventh old man would be the most troublesome when this kid succeeded as the head of the family. Unexpectedly, he handed over the family seal and the warehouse key easily. .
With such an attitude, even if those people want to say something, they will no longer have a weird attitude.
Mrs. Gu raised her eyes to look at the seventh old man, and then lowered her head to drink tea. Her eyes were full of confusion about his move.
She also thought that the matter would not be handed over so quickly. After all, when she handed it over, it took her half a year to agree. However, the cheerfulness of the seventh old man made her look a little sideways.
On the contrary, Gu Shaoyu was particularly calm when accepting this item.
Gu Yunzhan's eyelids gradually became unable to open in his arms, so he found a comfortable position in his father's spacious arms and fell into a deep sleep.
After feeling his son's even breathing, Gu Shaoyu lowered his head and glanced at him.
The curled eyelashes gently fell under his eyes. At this moment, he was very well-behaved. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he kept his fatherly heart in his heart. Then when he looked up again, he regained his clarity. .
"Today is a big day for ancestor worship, why doesn't Shao Yu's wife show up?"
The place hadn't even warmed up yet, but some people couldn't help but want to step forward to find trouble.
The person who spoke was the third old man of the Gu family. He looked thin and immortal, but his cloudy eyes showed attachment and reluctance to the world.
Hearing this, Mrs. Gu explained lightly.
"Ms. Du has been traveling all the way, and her body is a little uncomfortable, so I decided to let her stay at home to rest. The third brother will care about this grandnephew's wife."
Her words lightly but calmly pointed out the third old man's over-the-top attitude, which made him look a little green, and then he shut up.
Perhaps when Marshal Gu was alive, he was very strict in disciplining everyone, so he did not dare to really contradict Mrs. Gu, so the meeting was completed smoothly.
After having lunch together, they dispersed.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Shaoyu were left behind, and they returned to the ancestral hall and offered incense to the memorial tablets of Marshal Gu and several uncles and cousins.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Since my grandson recognizes his ancestor, the Gu family will be my roots in the future, and he will definitely keep my grandmother and several aunts and uncles safe in their old age."
After hearing this, Mrs. Gu's nose felt slightly sore.
Even though she had been used to this for half a year, when it came time to worship her ancestors, she still felt excited and moved as if reality had come to light.
The grandfather and grandson knelt for a long time in the ancestral hall and talked a lot. Then Gu Shaoyu helped Mrs. Gu get up and walked outside.
Qingshui Town is not far from Jinling City, only a few miles away, so if you drive faster, you can get there in just an hour.
Therefore, when they all turned back one after another, Du Jingyi was still taking a nap after taking medicine.
But Brother Tai was very excited now because he slept on the road.
However, Gu Shaoyu and Mrs. Gu still had some unfinished business, so after handing the child over to Wet Nurse Fu and Li Zhu, they took all the female relatives at home to the ancestral hall in the northwest corner to continue talking.
Mrs. Gu took out a volume of the Gu family tree and then said.
"The names of Shao Yu and Yun Zhan have been decided, and Xiao Chun and Xiao Yun are also among them. In terms of age, from now on you will be the second young lady and the third young lady in this house, and Lang'er will be the fourth young lady. From now on, I have to respect Shao Yu as my eldest brother, do you understand?"
"Yes, Grandma."
After this period of rest, Gu Xiaochun and Gu Xiaoyun also recovered.
The two of them were maids-in-charge who were both well-known in the palace, so they could naturally live well in the Gu family. It was reasonable for Gu Xiaochun to be under the name of the eldest aunt, and Gu Xiaoyun to be under the name of the second aunt.
With a teacup in his hand, he served tea to his family members one by one, and his identity was truly revealed.
"You and I are mother and daughter at our age, so it's hard to say how caring you are. But since you are the daughter of me and my uncle, she is the legitimate daughter of my family. She has the style and charm that she should have. Lost, do you understand?"
The eldest aunt explained to Gu Xiaochun.
As for Gu Xiaochun, who was now in his mid-twenties, he naturally did not have the coquettishness of those girls. He knelt down respectfully and saluted before speaking.
"Don't worry, mother. My daughter will be filial to her elders, and her brothers and sisters will not do anything to disgrace the Gu family."
The eldest aunt nodded, and then handed over a thick red envelope as payment for the change.
Gu Xiaoyun on the side was more lively than her second sister Gu Xiaochun, but she could not tolerate such an occasion, so she followed suit and bowed to her second aunt.
Afterwards, they also served tea, got the money to correct their confession, and became Miss Gu San, the legitimate daughter of the second wife of the Gu family.
As for Gu Xiaolang, she didn't have much resistance to having two more sisters. First, this was the emperor's order, and second, they would marry a son-in-law in the future, which meant that the children would also be members of the Gu family, so she didn't want to put on airs and make things difficult.
She just hoped that the family could live in harmony.
So, she stood up and greeted them with a sweet smile.
"Little Four greets the eldest brother, second sister, and third sister."
Hearing her title, the fourth aunt beside her also laughed and joked to her.
"You are so quick-witted that you took my name."
Fourth aunt always called herself Little Four to her sisters-in-law, so when she said this, everyone present laughed.
Gu Shaoyu took out a white jade pendant with two fish biting each other's tails, Gu Xiaochun took out a Huanghuali pen holder with orchids inlaid with hundreds of treasures, and Gu Xiaoyun took out a jade butterfly hairpin made of tourmaline and gold thread, and gave them all to Gu Xiaolang as a gift for changing her mind.
She was very happy, and then she said.
"It's better to be the youngest girl, and the brothers and sisters will spoil you."
The third aunt gently tapped her forehead and said with a smile.
"Now you are also an aunt, be careful not to let Brother Tai see you and laugh at you, the fourth aunt!"
Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang was not polite and replied casually.
