882 Finally found it
“Father!” Gu Xin jumped off the carriage and ran over happily.
Gu shouxin pulled the reins and stopped the horse.
Gu Xin pulled Gu shouxin’s arm. father, I haven’t seen you for more than a month. I miss you so much! Father, did you come here to pick us up? Father, you’re the best! You’re the best father in the world.”
Gu shouxin pursed his lips and looked down at his younger daughter.”Father didn’t come to pick you up, he came to beat you. Didn’t I say that I’ll be coming with Grandpa and Grandma? Why did you come here by yourself?”
Gu Xin pulled Gu shouxin’s hand and shook it, ” “Father, I missed you and mother too much. I’ve never been separated from you guys for so long before. It’s true! I’m here to accompany dad for the exam!”
Gu Hui and Lu Zheng alighted from the car and came over to greet him. “Second uncle,”
“I’ll talk to you two later!” Gu shouxin glared at the two.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the carriage that was parked at the side and used his eyes to signal to Lu Zheng what was going on.
In front of everyone, Lu Zheng could not say that Shen Feng was the Empress Dowager’s man. After all, at his current age, he had yet to know Shen Feng.
dad, we met uncle Shen in Liangzhou on our way here. He was on our boat with his aunt and daughter. We just met him here, ” Gu Xin answered on behalf of Lu Zheng.
Gu shouxin glanced at Shen Feng and nodded. He did not intend to make small talk with anyone.
He passed the whip in his hand to Lu Zheng and brought the two sisters up the carriage.
When he got on the carriage, he just happened to see the old lady sitting in the opposite carriage. The old lady stared at him, her eyes not avoiding him, as if she was looking at someone else through him.
Gu shouxin nodded, retracted his gaze, and drove the carriage away.
Lu Zheng followed behind on his horse.
“Let’s go!” The Grand Empress Dowager instructed.
Gu shouxin was already in his thirties, but she had never seen her son in his thirties. If she had to say that they looked similar, it was really the head of the little girl who was dressed as a man. The older girl should be seventeen. Besides the eyebrows and eyes, the only similarity was the temperament around her.
In the past, every time she saw her younger son pretending to be an old man like her elder son outside and showing a lively look in front of her, she would think that when her elder son recovered outside, would he be like how her younger son pretended to be?
In fact, the Emperor did not recognize the Gu family, but Empress Jiang’s suspicion told her.
Even the Emperor had never seen her son before, but Empress Jiang had seen him when she married into the royal family. At that time, she was too young, and Empress Jiang was not sure.
The Grand Empress Dowager had sent people to investigate grandfather Gu last year, but unfortunately, she could not be absolutely sure. It was only recently, when grandfather Gu pawned a large number of jade artifacts, that the Grand Empress Dowager could be sure.
Grandpa Gu had thought that Empress Jiang had given him this large batch of jade artifacts. When he had become a refugee, he would not be able to keep all these things if he ran away with them, so he had hidden them away. After getting married to grandma Gu, he had asked her to come with him. After the environment had settled down, they had gone back to dig up all these jewelry and jade artifacts.
Grandma Gu’s father had left her a large sum of money. All these years, she had not used Grandpa Gu’s things except for silver notes, but Grandpa Gu had also given them to grandma Gu.
After Gu shouxin passed the Imperial examinations, the old couple went to the Qing Prefecture to pawn their jade wares. They took some silver notes and gave them to Lu Zheng, asking him to help find someone to buy a house in Jing.
Even the name of the house was written as grandma Gu’s.
The Grand Empress Dowager heaved a long sigh of relief. She had finally found it, she had finally found it.
