Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 1422
The old man specially called Tan Siwu over to ask him to look up the almanac to see which day is the best in the recent days.

He wanted to choose an auspicious day to officially take Liu Ya back to the ancient family, record her name in the family tree, and let her recognize her ancestor and return to her family.

Although the National Day Ceremony is coming soon, even if the Gu family is not a royal family member, they are also relatives of the emperor and a famous family.

And because Liu Ya received the token from the Gu Family Army, she couldn't be more sloppy.The matter of entering the family tree was left to Qin Siwu to take full responsibility.

After the meal, the old man said again: "Girl, since you are a member of our Gu family, let Shang Qing take you to see the family history and ancestral books of the Gu family. This is also the root of our Gu family's family motto."

Gu Shangqing interjected: "Yes, Ya'er, Grandpa didn't treat you as an outsider, that's why he asked you to read the ancestral family training book with me. You have to remember the training in it carefully."

Liu Ya nodded in agreement, said goodbye to the old man, and left with Gu Shangqing.

After walking for a while, Gu Shangqing said: "Ya'er, when we were young, we were all required to recite the family rules from our ancestors. You came back late, but you can't lose this subject."

It was only then that Liu Ya realized that what Gu Shangqing said just now, not to treat her as an outsider, meant to let her recite the family rules taught by her ancestors.

However, thinking about how the children of the Gu family grew up like this, Liu Ya felt particularly fulfilled and sweet in her heart.

Gu Shangqing led Liu Ya to the row of rooms at the back, and immediately a young man greeted him from the doorman next to him.

Gu Shangqing said: "This is the second young lady of our family. Grandpa asked me to take her to see the family rules taught by the ancestors."

The boy immediately agreed, and went back into the porter's room to get two keys, one big and one small, and come out.The two keys were fastened to a copper ring and handed to Gu Shangqing together.

Gu Shangqing took the key and went to the second door next door. When the door was opened, the servant brought over two oil lamps.He also asked: "Master, do you need tea?"

"No need, but you can bring some candied fruit and fruit for Ya'er." After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, he pushed the door open for Liu Ya to follow her in.

Liu Ya took the oil lamp from the boy and said "Thank you".

This wing room is not big, and when entering the room, there is a smell of camphor wood. It should be a camphor wood box and some medicine pills that are convenient for storing calligraphy and paintings.

Liu Ya followed Gu Shangqing with an oil lamp, looked at the large bookshelves on the left and right as she walked, and asked, "This is a library? Shouldn't the ancestral instructions be placed in the ancestral house? I thought the ancestral instructions should be placed in the ancestral house." It was placed in Anji City."

Gu Shangqing said: "Of course the original book is in the ancestral house. The few books here were all copied by Xueqi and Yuxiao when I was young."

After a pause, Gu Shangqing said again: "In addition, there is also a family motto here, which was written by my third uncle when he was young. I was thinking, Grandpa also wanted me to show you that."

Liu Ya suddenly felt warmth welling up in her heart, it turned out that her grandpa's intention was to bring herself closer to her father whom she had never met.

From Liu Ya's eyes, Gu Shangqing saw her excitement.She smiled and said: "I want to tell you one more thing, you will feel that grandpa is very kind to you."

Liu Ya already loved her grandfather even more, so she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Before Gu Shangqing could speak, he heard a knock on the door.It was the boy who came in with two plates of candied fruit, and a small basket with some fruits in it was hanging on his arm.

Gu Shangqing smiled and pointed at this young man, and said: "Ya'er, ask him, whose squad is he taking over to guard the gate here?"

After listening to the servant, he raised his head and smiled at Liu Ya, and said politely and respectfully: "Second miss, the previous doorkeeper brother is called Liu Shu, who is the book boy brought by the old man."

"Willow?! You mean, before you, it was Xiao Shu'er who guarded the library here?" Liu Ya was very surprised, she really didn't expect to find Xiao Shu'er here.

The young man replied: "Back to Second Miss, he has sorted out the books here. The old man also thinks highly of him, and now he specially invited a gentleman to send him to another courtyard to study. Listen Said that he will participate in next year's spring test competition."

After hearing this, Liu Ya breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that Xiao Shu'er's insistence on abandoning martial arts and following literature might make the old man of the Gu family unhappy.

Now it seems that instead of being angry, the old man cultivated the young trees generously.The old man of the Gu family can really be called the nobleman of Xiao Shu'er.

The boy replied and left.

Liu Ya looked at everything here again, she was really indescribably kind.

She was feeling secretly, when she saw Gu Shangqing moved a ladder, put it in front of a bookshelf by the wall, climbed up and began to search.

Liu Ya hurried down to the bottom, helped hold the ladder with one hand, and raised her head to ask, "Brother, what are you looking for?"

"Look for the family motto that the third uncle copied." Gu Shangqing said, and moved some books on the left and right, then dragged out a wooden box from the bookshelf, and handed it to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya took it, but felt quite heavy.But there is not much dust on it, so it can be seen that there are often people cleaning here, and there are no individual neglected corners.

Liu Ya put the wooden box on the table, first lightly brushed the top again to remove the floating dust.Then slowly opened the box, and saw three thick hand-copied family instructions inside.

"Ya'er, although this is not the only thing third uncle left behind, it is very meaningful. When I was young, I followed these three family instructions and copied them three times." Gu Shangqing said Then, he took out one of the books, handed it to Liu Ya with both hands, and said, "Look at it, you should understand what it means."

Liu Ya already felt hot in front of her eyes, but there was another ups and downs in her heart.

Opening the family motto, it is a strong and powerful font, which penetrates the back of the paper, showing how much the person who wrote the ancestral motto put his heart and soul into it.

The content of this family motto is not very special, it is all admonishing the descendants of the Gu family to be loyal to the emperor, respect filial piety, be courteous and kind.

Liu Ya's memory is excellent. After reading it once, she can remember seven or eight out of ten of this family motto.

But she looked at the other two family instruction books in the box again, and felt reluctant to just cover them.

Liu Ya thought for a while, and said: "Brother, I also want to copy this family motto again, can you let me take this back?"

Gu Shangqing said with a smile: "Of course. The children of the Gu family have to copy the family instructions from the time they learn to write. After all, you are more than ten years late. However, it is not too early now, you To transcribe also starts tomorrow, let’s go back and rest today.”
