Fast time travel: black lotus has no emotion

Chapter 136

"Go on. Don't forget what I told you."

Gu Ruchen nodded in agreement, and retreated outside the door.

The servant closed the door behind him, and Gu Ruchen's heart seemed to be soaked in ice water.

Wandering at the fork between Shangya and Gu's Mansion, Gu Ruchen finally chose to return to Gu's Mansion.

He locked himself in the study, thinking about whether to do so.

Still writing a letter to Father Gu who was still far away at the border, staring at the letter being taken away by the hidden guards, his agitated heart gradually calmed down.

"Come on!"

A young man ran in from outside the door: "Master, are you calling your servant?"

"I'm going to write to Gu's side branch now, and I'll wait in the Gu's ancestral hall tomorrow morning."

The servant ordered, seeing Gu Ruchen's serious expression, he couldn't help but walk more lightly.

Early the next morning, riding the frost, Gu Ruchen, as the next head of the family, sat on the head seat.

The ancestral hall was already full of people, why did Gu Ruchen call so eagerly?

"Young Patriarch, you suddenly asked us to come here, what happened?"

Gu Ruchen scanned everyone's faces one by one, and looked at the majestic ancestral hall archway above his head with a blank expression.

"My Gu family has served the three masters since it became famous. The reason why it lasted so long is because the Gu family has always remained neutral, but..."

Because of his distress for Gu Xiaoxiao, he ignored the precepts of his ancestors and embarked on a road of no return that he could no longer turn back.

Gu Ruchen paused for a moment, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

If he did it all over again, would he still do it?
Turning his head to stare at the crowd, although the Gu family could not be called a big family, they seemed to be united as one, but there were also people who harbored traitors in their hearts.

He looked at an uncle sitting behind him: "Uncle Wu, do you have anything to say?"

Uncle Wu stood up and cleared his throat: "That...Young Patriarch, what Uncle Wu said is inappropriate. Once the emperor and the courtiers, it's time for us to abandon the old views that the Gu family used to pursue!"

"Furthermore, since the emperor ascended the throne, could it be that the Gu family did not contribute to this?! I think the young patriarch was too cautious and lost his courage instead!"

He kept talking without seeing that other people lowered their heads, and didn't look at him straightly.

Gu Ruchen pondered for a moment, neither said bad nor good, but immediately made a decision.

"I remember that Sister Shuang from Uncle Wu's family was at the time of cardamom. The emperor released it to let my Gu family also send a woman to the palace, but I don't know if Uncle Wu is willing to part with Sister Shuang?"

Uncle Wu was very happy. He didn't expect such a big surprise to fall on his head. He rubbed his hands together, and his dry palms rustled in the air.

"Be willing to give up!" His joy was in stark contrast to the indifferent crowd.I could only hear the trembling voice: "Then... I would like to thank the young Patriarch, let me go back and prepare first?"

Gu Ruchen nodded: "Five Uncle, hurry up, we really can't delay." Then he turned to look at the others: "Anyone wants to send a woman to the palace, take advantage of this timing, otherwise you won't have this opportunity if it's too late!"

After Fifth Uncle left.

The crowd was silent, and some of them hesitated, considering whether to stand up, but an old man next to them grabbed their clothes tightly.

"father?!"

"To shut up!"

Gu Ruchen was in the main seat, watching the scene in front of him with a smile.

"Clan elder?" His voice was so light that no one could detect the condensation in it: "If Third Uncle wants to send a woman into the palace, why should you stop him?"

The clan elder shook his long white beard on his chin, picked up the crutch in his hand and threw it on Third Uncle.

"Young Patriarch is joking. If he dares to send Sister Meng into the palace, I will break his leg!"

Gu Ruchen stopped talking, but the third uncle who was beaten shouted, "Father, what are you beating me for! You don't want to part with Sister Meng, so why don't I send Sister Ping into the palace?!"

The old man was so angry that he almost fainted.

The Gu family has always practiced monogamy, but as his son, he has the audacity to raise a concubine outside. Fortunately, his first wife died of illness early, otherwise he would have been expelled from the clan long ago.

"madness!"

The clan elder was a little exhausted, and his standing body leaned back feebly.

"Clan elder, clan elder! Are you alright?!" Someone saw him and quickly helped him to sit down on the chair.

The clan elder clutched his chest, panting heavily, stretched out a finger on the third uncle's head and muttered: "Why did I give birth to such a beast as you!"

After speaking, he looked at Gu Ruchen apologetically, feeling sorry for his age, but he had to apologize for a junior.

"Ruchen, everyone is here today, and the elders of the clan also announced something. If there is any big event in the Gu family, don't call him an idiot. I'm afraid he will make a joke out of the clan!"

"Father?" The third uncle's expression of grievance just appeared on his old face, making people want to laugh inexplicably.

"To shut up!"

After finishing speaking, he went to Gu Ruchen again: "I'm still alive, I can see that he won't make any trouble, but if I die, please ask the young Patriarch to give him a bite to eat for the sake of the clan elders."

Gu Ruchen helped the clan elder up himself: "What are you talking about? Third uncle is honest, what kind of trouble can he cause?"

The clan elder held Gu Ruchen's hand and did not let go, as if he wanted him to give an explanation.

Gu Ruchen had no choice but to nod, and patted the clan elder's hand twice comfortingly: "Clan elder, don't worry, with me here, third uncle won't go that far."

"Okay, okay." After saying this, the clan elder's tight strings relaxed.

Three days later, Gu Liubai learned in the harem that the Gu family had sent a woman into the palace.

In terms of seniority, this person is still her cousin.

It's just such a big news, but Gu Ruchen didn't send the news in earlier, so the meaning of it is funny.

"Understood." Gu Liubai fiddled with the candlestick with a silver stick, and the dim yellow candlelight flickered, giving her a layer of warmth.

"If you want to come to visit Liuchun Palace, stop it."

"Yes." Just as He Wan finished speaking, there was a third-class court lady reporting at the door.

"Twife, a woman who claims to be your cousin is out to see you."

Gu Liubai turned his head and gave He Wan a look, and the other party nodded and then bowed back.

"I'll go. You continue to be on duty." He Wan said.

"Yes."

The third-class maid followed behind He Wan, and turned around when she stepped through the second gate.

"Slaves send greetings to the young master."

Seeing someone bowing to her, Gu Chengshuang stepped back restrainedly, then went to help Hewan.

"Sister, get up, I... am I not the young master?"

Just the right shyness and timidity, it is hard not to let people delve into the meaning.

He Wan got up and glanced at her quickly, a little disappointed.

The appearance of the woman in front of her was not high-quality, she was even a bit dull, and she was wearing bright clothes, which made the woman even more gloomy.

Is this learning empress?
