The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 469 Little Miserable Brother (Part 2)

In the west room, Xiao Heng is sorting out the large-scale trouble scene in the small clearance room. Ever since he heard that he has a bigger surprise for Gu Jiao, the little guy has decided that his surprise is hidden in the house.

The little guy rummages through boxes and cabinets, but won't put them back by himself.

For this problem, the family talked about the little guy several times. Of course, every time he said it was very good, he would forget it when he turned his head, or he didn't forget it, but he cleaned it up as if he didn't clean it up.

Every time, he or Gu Jiao has to clean it up again.

Xiao Heng concentrated on cleaning up, not knowing that Master Gu came to the house, let alone that he was being bullied by his own chickens.

"Brother-in-law."

Suddenly a soft call came from the door, with a little caution and a little joy.

Just as Xiao Heng picked up Xiao Jingkong's golden abacus, he turned around when he heard the words, looked at him and said, "It's Ah Yan, what's the matter?"

There is no class in Qinghe Academy today, Gu Xiaoshun went to Master Lu and Master Nanxiang's wife's house, Gu Yan stayed behind because he said he was not feeling well.

Gu Yan stood at the door with his hands behind his back, looking a bit cautious.

Ever since Gu Yan came to the house, it was the first time that he showed this kind of seeming... Well, Xiao Heng wanted to say that he was shy, but he felt that Gu Yan's temper could not be so thin-skinned.

Besides, what's there to be ashamed of him?

It's not the first day we met.

"That... can I come in?" Gu Yan asked.

Even the voice of the question became cautious.

Has this attitude changed a bit?

Xiao Heng gave Gu Yan a strange look, and said, "It's okay, come in, do you have homework and can't do it?"

Among the three young men in the family, Xiao Heng communicated with Xiao Jingkong the most. First, they slept in the same room, second, Xiao Jingkong talked a lot, and third, Xiao Qingkong had the most homework and tutoring.

Relatively little communication with Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun, basically they came here at this time to ask homework.

Gu Yan's answer was beyond Xiao Heng's expectation, he shook his head and said, "I have something to show my brother-in-law."

"What?" Xiao Heng asked.

Gu Yan came in front of Xiao Heng, hesitated for a while, took out the fist hidden behind his back, and spread it out to reveal a warm jade finger.

If Gu Jiao were here, she would definitely recognize that this was the jade wrench she accidentally brought into her sleeve when she rescued Gu Yan for the first time.

Gu Yan once cherished this jade wrench very much,

No one can touch it. Gu Jinyu accidentally touched it once, and Gu Yan got very angry.

In other words, Gu Jiao is special, touching Gu Jiao is equal to touching her, Gu Yan doesn't mind.

Xiao Heng looked at the jade wrench in his palm, and for a moment didn't know what he meant.

Gu Yan took a full look at his expression, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, lowered his eyes, and said resentfully: "You really don't remember."

"I remember it is your jade wrench." Xiao Heng said, not sure if what he said was right.

Gu Yan said sullenly: "No, it belongs to you."

"Mine?" Xiao Heng was surprised.

This sentence can have two meanings, one is that it originally belonged to him, and the other is that Gu Yan intends to give this jade finger to him.

Combined with the series of changes in Gu Yan's expression after entering the room, Xiao Heng felt that it was unlikely to be the second type.

Otherwise, Gu Yan wouldn't say "You really don't remember".

"Is it for you?" Xiao Heng asked, paused, and then said, "When I was a child?"

After becoming Xiao Liulang, if he doesn't remember that he gave Gu Yan any jewelry, then it can only be before he and Gu Yan left Beijing.

If he remembered correctly, Gu Yan went to the hot spring villa in Youzhou when he was four years old.

"It was before I went to the hot spring villa." Gu Yan said in a low mood, "My brother at home doesn't play with me, so I ran out of the house alone."

It's the mansion where the servants get rid of the dog's hole.

This way of leaving the house was a bit embarrassing, Gu Yan automatically passed by.

"I got lost and then I met you."

Getting lost was his feeling at the time, but now that he thinks about it, he wasn't lost at all, he didn't even run out of the back alley of Ding'an Hou Mansion.

Xiao Heng pointed to the jade wrench in his palm: "Then, did I give you this?"

Gu Yan shook his head and whispered: "You didn't give it, I want it."

Xiao Heng: "..."

Can't tell, you still asked strangers for things when you were a child.

Gu Yan: "I sneaked out of the house, wanted to go back but couldn't find the way, and cried loudly. You pass by, and ask the servants to stop the carriage. You say, that child is cute, so he abducted him and made him my younger brother."

Xiao Heng: No, isn't this your short history? How did it become my black history?

I don't have a habit of abducting children, don't talk nonsense!

Xiao Heng coughed lightly: "I should just be joking, right?"

Gu Yan continued to say sullenly: "Then your servants took me away."

Xiao Heng: "..."

Xiao Heng said embarrassingly: "You must have been very scared at the time, right?"

Gu Yan shook her head: "No, I'm very happy, but you regretted it after a while, said I'm not fun, and sent me back."

Xiao Heng: "..."

Xiao Heng had no impression of this matter at all.

Xiao Heng was only seven years old at that time. Although he had reached the age he could remember, taking Gu Yan away was just a whim and he didn't really take it to heart.

He sees so many people every day, how can he remember a child who has only been teased for a short while?

Gu Yan was different, he was weak and frail since he was a child, the Yao family and Master Gu raised him very carefully, never allowed him to leave the house, he had seen only a handful of children.

Xiao Heng gave him sweets, toys, and such a beautiful jade finger ring, he naturally remembered the other party firmly in his heart.

It's just that after so many years, his small head can't keep the appearance and outline of the other party. He only remembers that his name is Xiao Heng, and he is the young master of Zhaodu.

This is due to the fact that Xiao Heng is so famous, he can often hear him from the mouth of the servants, which can be regarded as helping him review his memories in a disguised form.

Xiao Heng really didn't know that there was such an experience between himself and Gu Yan, even if he didn't believe in fate, he couldn't help feeling that fate is indeed a wonderful thing.

The conversation between the two was interrupted by the restless sound of chickens and dogs coming from the yard. They pushed open the window and saw that Master Gu had arrived, and he was on the bar with their dog, seven chickens and Haidongqing. up.

Gu Hou Ye is a martial arts practitioner, so he can't kill a dog and a few chickens, but the dog is his son's pet, and the chicken is the poultry that Yao family feeds every day. He has no scruples about this bird, but this bird Too good to fly, he can't catch...

Xiao Heng and Gu Yan went to the courtyard to stop the chaos. At this time, Gu Hou Ye was covered in chicken feathers!

Master Gu was so angry that he wished he could kill those nasty chickens!

Especially the smallest one!

Pulled several lumps of chicken cakes on him!

Seeing his own father's distressed look, Gu Yan suddenly couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Lord Gu: "..."

Brat, do you still remember that I am your real father?

Gu Yan's laughter continued until Yao Shi came back. Yao Shi gave birth next month, and Gu Jiao calculated her due date as the first day of next month, and there was still half a month left.

Her limbs were slightly swollen, and she seemed to have limited mobility.

Master Gu Hou couldn't care about Gu Yan immediately, and came over to help her: "Why are you out again? Why is Fang Nanny looking at you? Be careful!"

Yao shi's action of crossing the threshold really frightened him.

Are pregnant women walking so vigorously? ! Back then, Xiao Ling didn't dare to do this!

In fact, Yao shi also felt that this pregnancy was easier than the first one, if she hadn't been older, she should have been able to.

In the village, she had seen peasant women working on the ground with their stomachs upright. Compared to them, she was very delicate, but compared to the wives and young mistresses of wealthy families, she was still more vigorous.

"Master Hou, why did you do this?" Yao looked at him in astonishment.

Old Hou Ye couldn't say that he was bullied by a few chickens, and he couldn't be so embarrassing in front of his wife. He coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. The chicken ran out and caught it."

Yao Shi said: "I let them catch insects in the preserved vegetables."

Other people's chickens occasionally eat vegetable leaves, but theirs don't, they only eat worms, and they are very obedient.

Gu Houye said awkwardly: "Then, then I will release it for you later."

Yao shi looked at her own preserved vegetables, and said, "No need, I've caught almost all of them today, Master Hou, hurry up and change into clothes."

Gu Houye went to the carriage to change into spare clothes, and then went to the backyard to talk to Yao Shi.

He came today to visit Yao shi, and to announce a good news to Yao shi: "Our son-in-law has been promoted."

Yao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Heng who was chopping firewood with Gu Yan at the door of the kitchen: "Liu Lang, have you been promoted?"

Xiao Heng only received the document in the afternoon, and he hasn't had time to tell his family.

"Brother-in-law, have you been promoted?" Gu Yan looked at Xiao Heng excitedly.

"En." Xiao Heng nodded while holding the hatchet.

"What official what official?" Gu Yan's little fan asked.

"A servant of the Imperial Academy." Xiao Heng said.

"Heh." Master Gu smiled disdainfully, "What a great official I am. I am just a student in the Imperial Academy. King An Jun is about to enter the cabinet as a minister."
