Dai Shi and Gu Chi were both startled, and looked up towards the corridor.
Standing at the corner of the corridor outside the house was a woman wearing gray clothes. Even though she was dressed plainly, she could not hide her elegant temperament and her peerless face.
She was standing there, but it made people feel like she was in a dream, which was very unreal.
She is elegant and beautiful.
When they touched the figure, their hearts trembled.
Dai Shi felt that she was hallucinating. The sunlight shining on her body seemed to be coated with a layer of light. It was too unreal.
Gu Chi held Dai Shi's hand a little tighter.
“Grandma.”
Ye Qianning called out again and stepped forward step by step.
It wasn't until the other party spoke that Dai Shi suddenly woke up. His eyes were filled with disbelief and uncertainty, and he stumbled forward in panic while holding on to his hand.
“Second aunt, please slow down.” Gu Chi also came to his senses and held on tightly with both hands.
Ye Qianning came over in a few steps, getting closer and closer, and his appearance became clearer and clearer in the other person's eyes.
With her skin as smooth as cream and no makeup applied, she looks like a fairy walking out of a painting.
Gu Chi raised his head and was slightly absent-minded.
"You...you..." Dai Shi was so nervous that he couldn't speak.
“Grandma, I am, I am Ye Qianning.”
Ye Qianning walked up to him, his eyes were red and bright as stars, and there was a mist of water gathering in them.
Dai Shi broke away from Gu Chi's hand and looked at the person in front of her. His trembling hand slowly touched her face. The warmth on her face made her realize that it was not a dream.
“You are Qian Ning, are you really Qian Ning?”
Can’t believe it, don’t dare to admit it…
Ye Qianning raised her hand and covered Dai Shi's hand: "Grandma, it's me, I'm back."
Dai Shi couldn't bear it any longer at this moment. She hugged Ye Qianning and cried muffledly. She didn't have time to hug her back then, and she didn't have time to talk to her properly in the future...
Her granddaughter, the only granddaughter...
Ye Qianning hugged her back, mist flowing from the corner of her eyes, and gently patted her back with her fingers. She didn't understand the meaning of family before, but she fully understood it after she recognized her father.
Gu Chi stared blankly at the people hugging and crying in front of him, and for some reason his eyes were a little moist.
Ye Qianning, is she really the fat little girl back then?
Can not believe it…
Dai Shi cried for a while, then slowly stopped, and withdrew from Ye Qianning's arms. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes and said, "Look at me, I lost my composure for a moment."
She is an elder. She cried on her granddaughter like this. What did the little girl think?
Ye Qianning didn't even wipe her tears, and got into Dai Shi's arms again, resting her head on her shoulder: "Grandma, I miss you very much."
Dai Shi was stunned and wanted to cry again. She hugged the little girl and said, "Grandma misses you too. She misses you so much."
"I should have come back earlier, and my great-grandfather wouldn't have been so excited." The person Ye Qianning felt most sorry for was Mr. Gu, because she hadn't had time to let him enjoy his happiness.
She should have rushed back when she recovered from her illness, but she felt upset in her heart.
Dai Shi let go of her and saw the regret in her eyes. He raised his hand to pluck the hair from her temples and tied it behind her ears. He said in a soft voice, "Silly boy, don't say that. Your grandpa is too old."
She still dared not think about her injuries back then. The long sword pierced her chest. How could such a serious injury be healed in three to five years?
Ye Qianning sniffed and said nothing.
"Second aunt... don't stand outside, go inside and talk." Gu Chi wanted to call her, but didn't know what to call for the moment.
He has never understood the relationship between Ye Qianning and the Gu family.
Dai Shi reacted immediately and pulled Ye Qianning: "Look at me, I've forgotten. It's too hot outside. Let's go inside and drink some tea to relieve the heat."
Ye Qianning was pulled into the room, which was cool and cool.
The three of them sat down, and Gu Chi poured tea for Dai Shi and Ye Qianning.
"Are you...really Ye Qianning?" Gu Chi couldn't help but ask.
Ye Qianning picked up the cup and smiled at him: "It's guaranteed to be fake."
Hearing this, Gu Chi was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled: "It seems that his temperament is the same as when he was a child, but his appearance has changed so much. If he were walking on the road, I wouldn't dare to recognize him to death."
Fortunately, she was in the Gu family. If she were outside, even if she said she was Ye Qianning, he wouldn't believe her.
"She was so young back then and her facial features were not open. Now it's natural that she can't be recognized when she grows up." Dai Shi said something, looked at her and said: "Her smile is still somewhat similar to that of her childhood."
“My father Gu said my nose looks like his when he was a child.” Ye Qianning took a sip of tea.
Dai Shi laughed out loud when he heard this: "His nose almost collapsed when he was a child, but he still has the nerve to say he looks like him."
“Oh? My dad’s nose isn’t flat now either.”
“At that time, your great-grandfather got a folk remedy from somewhere, and I used my hands to pinch it every day. I don’t know if it was the effect of pinching, but it made him erect as he grew older.”
Ye Qianning found it interesting that a person like Mr. Gu, who was so fast and furious, was really capable of what he could do. Thinking of that time...
I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity to chat and laugh with him.
"Speaking of which, I've heard about this too. I remember one year when shopkeeper Song's grandson was one month old, my grandfather and I went to drink full moon wine together. After my grandfather met the child, before he left, he pulled shopkeeper Song and said that his grandson's nose was Damn, I also reminded you to pinch it more." Gu Chi also remembered this interesting thing.
Ye Qianning: "Shopkeeper Song's grandson's nose has straightened up too?"
“I don’t know if it’s good or not, but shopkeeper Song moved his family southward within two years.”
“My great-grandfather always listens to the wind and rains. My father is naturally handsome, just like my grandma.” This folk remedy for children, nose pinching, is unreliable and depends on one’s own genes!
Dai Shi felt a little more relaxed: "I'm just sweet-talking. Are your father and the others okay now?"
“In Sifang Town.”
"What happened at the city gate yesterday...do you really want to leave?" Dai Shi was worried.
“I can’t leave. The Fourth Prince went to Sifang Town early this morning.”
Dai Shi was a little panicked when he heard this: "What should I do? If I had known earlier, you would not have entered Beili. Now that the city is in such chaos, I am afraid the Holy Spirit will not let you go."
She has been feeling uneasy since the city gate yesterday. Early in the morning, there was news that the imperial edict in the city was being reproduced, causing a stir. If the three and four bedrooms had not blocked the door early in the morning, she would have sent people out of the city to find out the news.
“Grandma, don’t worry, the fourth prince just went to summon dad and master to the city, but dad refused.” Ye Qianning met the fourth prince when he went downstairs.
“Yes, it’s best not to enter the city, but you still have to act according to the situation in Beili.”
"We can't leave anyway, but it's impossible to let dad and master enter the city just by relying on the imperial edict. When we entered Beili, we decided to come back only after reading the edict. The fifth princess's statement yesterday was false, and the royal family must give an explanation. That’s all.”
Do you want to give an account to the royal family?
Gu Chi has never heard of anyone daring to challenge the royal family like this. The moment he threw the imperial edict to Marquis Ming yesterday, he had to say that he was really bloody.
If Beili had not treated Xiang Minghou like that, Beili would not be at the bottom of the Four Kingdoms now, having ceded more than a dozen cities to Dongsi in the past five years...
Dai Shi was shocked when she heard this, but she was not afraid: "If there is any grandma who can help me, just ask. Although the Gu family is not as good as before, many powerful people in the capital also recognize her, so she can get some help."
"Grandma doesn't have to do anything. Dad and the others are safe in Sifang Mountain, but they may have to live there for ten and a half days. I can't wait to see Grandpa sneak in first." It's impossible for Emperor Beili to let them out. If they want to take action on Sifang Mountain, it will be even more of a headache. They have time to waste, and it depends on whether Emperor Beili can afford it.
"How dare you yourself when the city is in such chaos, and your father can rest assured." Dai Shi stared at her beautiful granddaughter with worry, what if the bad guys were worried about her.
"There is someone with me, but I asked him to do something on the way here. Besides, I brought this with me when I entered the city." Ye Qianning took out the human skin mask from his arms.
Dai Shi was confused: "This is it."
Ye Qianning smiled, lowered his head to cover his face with the mask, and after a moment, when he raised his head again, she became a little dark girl with an unattractive appearance.
“This...is so good, so good.” In troubled times, this is the way to go unnoticed.
Gu Chi gained insight: "Is it the legendary human skin mask?"
“Does your uncle know?” Ye Qianning asked.
Cousin uncle?
Gu Chi was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.
“Xiaochi.” Dai called.
Gu Chi came back to his senses, slightly embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it."
He never understood the relationship between Ye Qianning and the Gu family. At that time, he only knew that his grandfather struggled for a long time to recognize Ye Qianning as his great-granddaughter. Later, he heard that Gu Shuo seemed to be getting closer to her.
In the end, the old man got his wish. After the incident in Sifang Mountain, my grandfather was sad and my second aunt looked very sad too.
He has never seen his second aunt and Ye Qianning come in contact with each other, so how could they establish such a deep friendship?
Some time ago, I heard some business talk, saying that in Dayu City, Gu Shuo handed over everything in Xianhai Tower to Ye Qianning. He didn't know whether it was true or not. Even if it was true, it didn't have much to do with him. He was just curious. .
More curious now.
"If my cousin is interested, I will give one to my cousin someday." Ye Qianning called warmly.
Gu Chi felt inexplicably pleasant and comfortable when he heard it: "No, I don't need it either."
“Human skin masks, are they all torn off people’s faces?” Dai Shi was also a little curious.
"There is such a thing, but mine is not it. It is a simulation made of some special materials. After being soaked, polished and carved, it looks like human skin."
"So that's the case."
It would be too scary if it were picked off a person’s face.
“Madam, madam.”
Song Xiang hurried in with medicine.
Dai Shi raised his head and said, "Why are you so flustered?"
“The eldest, second, third, fourth, and young masters are all coming this way. They all look bad, and they are afraid they are going to make trouble.” Song Xiang said anxiously.
Dai stood up and said, "Xiaochi, please help us drive them out first."
"Okay, I'll take care of it." Gu Chi frowned and stood up.
"Wait a moment."
Ye Qianning stopped him.
Dai Shi and Gu Chi turned around.
Song Xiang then noticed that there was a dark girl in the room.
“I heard the argument you just had in the hall.”
Ye Qianning just listened outside the door. She didn't know the specific conditions of the third and fourth rooms, but they seemed to be anxious to divide the house because they couldn't see Gu Shuo.
Dai Shi was a little embarrassed when she heard this. She never expected that she would see the Gu family in such a mess.
"Don't get involved in the Gu family's affairs. Grandma has a lot of ideas. We are finally reunited today, so don't let them disturb our mood."
Dai is in a good mood today and doesn't want to tear their faces apart now.
“Grandma, if they want to share the money, just buy the house and let them share it.”
Dai Shi was stunned: "No, this house belongs to your great-grandfather and no one can touch it."
Gu Chi also nodded.
Song Xiang looked at it in confusion, feeling that the dark and thin girl in front of her was speaking too boldly.
"They won't give up if they don't get the money. It's better to buy it and let them stop thinking about it." If you don't get it, you will always think about it, and it's hard to guard against villains.
"They can have anything they want, except this house." Dai made up his mind to fight with them: "Even if your great-grandfather does anything good in the future, the house will not change hands if it is empty."
"Qian Ning, this house means a lot to grandpa, so we can't sell it." Gu Chi himself didn't agree.
“Grandma, cousin, the house is not being sold to others, but to me. Grandma doesn’t agree with it either?” Ye Qianning just wanted to change hands.
"you?"
“Well, grandma, cousin, do you agree?”
Dai Shi saw her serious expression and sighed, "Do you agree?"
If the old man were here, he would probably put his hands in front of her.
"good."
If it were anyone else, she would never let go. She could trust her own granddaughter.
Gu Chi seemed to have reacted, understood what she meant, and didn't refute, just...
"If they find out the clues, they will definitely think that Gu Shuo sent someone to set up a trap. With the shameless appearance of the fourth uncle, they will definitely not give up." The third uncle and the fourth uncle gathered here just to get some benefits from Gu Shuo. .
Ye Qianning smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. The seller will let them find it themselves."
“Look for it yourself?” Gu Chi was puzzled.
Dai Shi also looked puzzled.
“My uncle’s family still has many shops in the capital, right?” Ye Qianning asked.
“There are some.”
"Recently, a nouveau riche has come to the capital. He is buying Zhuangzi everywhere and buying up all the expensive shops. He is rich and arrogant. Does your uncle know?"
"I know, he is a rich man named Fu. He has bought a lot of things at the Gu family's jewelry store before, and the amount each time was more than ten thousand taels. He also frequents the store under the name of Huangshang, and he usually gives rewards. For dozens of times, some of the officials in charge of the imperial merchants now regard him as their ancestor." Speaking of this man, Gu Chi was deeply impressed, he was extravagant.
"I've also heard from people in the mansion. I heard that he hired the immortal drunk on the fourth floor. He also likes to listen to auspicious words. One auspicious word costs ten taels of silver, which makes many people start to learn auspicious words. It seems that the third-bedroom can even get it. Fifty taels of silver."
Dai knew this person without leaving home, he was too ostentatious and high-profile.
Ye Qianning knew about Fu Cheng's stay in the capital before he arrived in Beili.
Dai Shi and Gu Chi said it more euphemistically. Fu Cheng really knows how to enjoy it. He has a beautiful woman in his arms, singing and singing every night. What he orders is the top of the flower house in the capital. Are the dancers and the musicians all the top of the show? Ten thousand a day. gold.
His food is more luxurious than the royal meal, with more than 80 dishes in a meal, which is comparable to a running water banquet.
Every day, I can stretch out my hands for food and open my mouth. The entertainment program is listening to music, watching dances, throwing money, spending money, and playing with paper money or paper airplanes!
This guy definitely doesn’t spend his own money and lets himself go! (End of chapter)
