After Lian Zong overturned, the actor cried and begged me to give him his name

Chapter 333, Brothers meet again

Gu's ancestral home.

back house.

Compared with the bustling scene of beating gongs and drums in the ancestral hall in the front yard, the back house looked much cleaner, not even a servant in the mansion could be seen.

Jiang Li followed Gu Qian, looking around curiously.

"Isn't aunt's tablet enshrined in the family ancestral hall?"

"No."

Gu Qian shook his head slightly, took Jiang Li's hand and explained: "My mother's tombstone stands in the yard of the back house, which used to be my father's yard. Later, my father was seriously ill and recuperated in the hospital, and the back house gradually became deserted. gone."

Said it was wasteful.

But Jiangli looked at some of the flowers and plants planted around, and they still had regular pruning and maintenance.

The two walk together.

After a while, I came to the back house of the ancestral house, and went all the way to the innermost part of the back house.

This is a grand mansion.

There is a thick loquat tree in the courtyard. Because it is winter, the branches and leaves of the loquat tree have fallen off completely, and a thick layer of white snow is pressed on the bare branches.

There is a tombstone next to the loquat tree.

A boy in white plain clothes sat quietly in front of the tombstone, slowly cleaning the falling snow beside the tombstone.

"Your brother?"

Jiang Li asked in a low voice.

She met Gu Yao once at the Gu family's "reception banquet", and she was somewhat familiar with this younger brother who once competed with Gu Qian for the "family heir".

Gu Qian nodded slightly, took Jiang Li's hand and walked forward, with a flat voice: "When did you come?"

"Just arrived."

"Ah."

The two brothers seemed to have no more words to spare.

Gu Qian just hummed, and slowly squatted down to clean the falling snow on the other side of the tombstone.

In the past, it was snowing heavily during the year-end festival.

As the head of the family, the father needs to preside over the end of the year festival, and it is difficult to spare the whole day, so the task of sweeping the snow for the mother falls to the two brothers Gu Qian and Gu Yao.

Every year.

The relationship between the two is normal.

But every year-end festival, they will come over tacitly, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding between the two brothers.

"Aren't you going to host the end of the year ceremony?"

Gu Yao asked casually.

He knew that he was defeated in the "heir" competition, and the eldest brother who was the winner became the heir of the Patriarch, so he naturally needed to assume the responsibility of the Patriarch.

Hosting the year-end tail ceremony is one of the responsibilities.

"Don't go."

Gu Qian said in a casual tone, and cleaned up the falling snow on the tombstone bit by bit with his own hands.

Gu Yao looked puzzled.

Gu Qian had no intention of explaining, and said in a calm tone, "I'm eating out for the New Year's Eve dinner this year."

"Ok?"

"If you don't want to give up, you can take this opportunity to hook up with the power that is about to move in the branch and try."

"..."

Gu Yao didn't answer.

The branch forces of the family he colluded with before were wiped out within a few months of his elder brother's return to the family.

Now no one in the whole family dares to fight against Gu Qian anymore.

The position of the heir of the family has been determined, and naturally no one is willing to continue to take risks to support his Jedi counterattack.

Seeing that my brother didn't answer.

Gu Qian said in a calm tone: "The Qin family has canceled their engagement with you, you should reconsider your marriage."

The Qin family, Qin Yi and Gu Yao originally had a marriage contract.

But following Gu Yao's failure to compete for the heir of the family, the Qin family also resolutely chose to give up their engagement.

Gu Yao didn't say a word, and his heart was extraordinarily peaceful.

He had known for a long time that the person Qin Yi liked was his elder brother, and he didn't have any feelings for Qin Yi, the arrogant and strong woman of the Qin family.

The falling snow on one side was swept away.

Gu Yao patted his hands that were red from the cold, and patted off all the falling snow on them. He got up and said in a flat tone, "I'm not interested in the eldest lady of the capital family."

Done.

Gu Yao added another sentence: "I won't compete with you for the position of the heir, and the family don't have to worry about the marriage."

Gu Qian got up in the same way, and patted his red hands with the same movement, but the difference was...

Jiang Li stepped forward first, took the initiative to help Gu Qian clean up the snow on his hand, put it in his palm and let out a sigh of relief: "I don't know how to wear gloves?"

"It's okay, it's not cold."

Gu Qian smiled in a gentle voice, looked at Gu Yao and said: "The family will not interfere in your marriage in the future, but if you can't marry a wife in the future..."

Paused.

Gu Qian added in a gentle tone: "You can ask your sister-in-law to introduce you."

Eri:? ? ?
Gu Yao: ...

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Gu Yao said thank you dryly, turned and left the courtyard of the back house with a blank face.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, looked at Gu Qian with a speechless expression, complaining in her tone: "What nonsense did you just say?"

"I am telling the truth."

"Tch, your brother is also the second young master of the Gu family after all, so will he not be able to find a wife in the future?"

Jiang Li couldn't help but sneer, and silently suppressed a sentence: [The appearance is not as good as yours, it's more than enough to be in the entertainment industry. 】

Gu Qian smiled lightly, as if he could see what was going on in Jiang Li's mind, and said, "He is different from me, although he has 80% of my looks, but he is too stupid, and he is not as good as I am." say."

"Ha ha."

Jiang Li chuckled.

-

The tombstones have been swept clean.

The two stood in front of the tombstone.

Gu Qian took Jiang Li's hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Mom, I'll bring your daughter-in-law over to see you. The bracelet has already been given to you. It's very suitable."

"..."

"..."

Just a few words.

Jiang Li held Gu Qian's hand, wanted to comfort him but found that the other person's face was extraordinarily calm: "Are... are you okay?"

"fine."

"I thought you were going to cry here."

"..."

Gu Qian shook his head shallowly, and explained: "I have never cried in front of my mother's tombstone. It used to be because I always came with Gu Yao. I feel a little ashamed as an older brother who takes the lead in crying. He saw that I didn't cry. I also suffocate myself from crying."

"I got used to it later."

Jiang Li was speechless for a moment: "Your habits... are very unique."

Gu Qian led Jiang Li to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and asked unhurriedly, "Is it cold?"

"not cold."

"Then stay with me here for a while."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Li put Gu Qian's cold red hand in her palm to warm it, and said in a gentle tone of relief: "You are successful in your career now, and Auntie Izumi Yuchi will already feel very relieved."

"Compared to having a successful career, she should be more pleased that I have married such a beautiful wife."

"..."

Jiang Li blushed, and swallowed the words to comfort the other party in an instant, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Gu Qian smiled, he heard the little girl comforting himself, and responded with a gentle and harmless smile.

"I'll go right back later."

"The matter of the end of the year festival... you, the heir of the patriarch, really don't have to preside over it?"

"Need not."
