Chapter 153: Chapter 153
"Family?" Gu Xiaoen thought of his family in Sanhe Village, and a bitter taste filled his heart.
I thought of becoming a king again.
When I saw him for the first time, the man's eyes were red and his face looked tired. He probably hadn't slept for several nights.
Could this person be his father?
"Xiao Qi." Not far away, Pei Sheng stood there. He had been here for a while and was getting a little impatient.
I really don’t understand how a few words can take so long.
A man's jealousy is overturned, and his anger is skyrocketing.
He knew clearly that Gu Xiaoen could no longer be a threat to him, but he still couldn't help but care and wanted to guard her.
Qi Qi looked over when he heard his voice and couldn't help but sigh.
"I'm going back. See you again when I have the chance." Qi Qi and Gu Xiaoen said goodbye.
"Okay, let's go, he's already impatient." Gu Xiaoen looked at Pei Sheng, the smile on his lips was a bit far-fetched.
"Come to Kyoto with me." Pei Sheng had wanted to say it for a long time. He was afraid that she would refuse before, so he definitely didn't dare to mention it. Now, at the end of the day, he had to ask.
What's the matter with saying rejection on your lips, but feeling a little sweet in your heart?
Pei Sheng looked at her smiling face, and in the end he could only smile helplessly and shake his head.
Gu Xiaoen curled his lips, wondering what King Cheng's definition of a child was.
As soon as Gu Xiaoen appeared in Datu, King Cheng immediately got the news and rushed over without stopping.
"Here, eat more of your favorite sweet and sour fish." At the dinner table, King Cheng personally picked fish bones for Gu Xiaoen. The degree of doting on his child was really shocking.
The slightly twitching corners of his lips and trembling hands all showed his inner unrest.
It turns out that once your heart is free, you will be free wherever you go.
King Cheng asked where he had been these days.
Song Cifu has always been a royalist, which is good.
The meal was a bit heartwarming, but also really awkward.
"Really rejected?" Qi Qi's heart skipped a beat and she asked anxiously.
Early the next morning, just after dawn, a long motorcade drove out of the large manor. There were guards guarding the motorcade, which was very spectacular.
The Song family is also an old family. After hundreds of years and three dynasties, it is still active, which shows the foresight of the people in charge of the Song family.
"You." King Cheng was a little surprised, and then a huge surprise and emotion swept over him, and he couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes.
Pei Sheng shook his head, "No."
Hey, this is life.
"Number one? Really?" Qi Qi exclaimed immediately after hearing this. She had forgotten about her third brother's scientific examination these days and did not even think of asking Pei Sheng about it.
Prince Cheng's Mansion was as magnificent and heavily guarded as ever, but he no longer felt that it was a luxurious prison.
Gu Xiaoen watched her back until they met, and then watched them leave side by side until they disappeared around the corner.
"Song Cifu? The Song family." Qi Qi knew nothing about the power in Kyoto.
"Where have you been? Can you please stop acting arbitrarily!" Cheng Wang's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were severely dark circles. He looked much older than before.
"Pa!" The slap made Gu Xiaoen feel a little dazed.
"Well, he has already entered the Hanlin Academy, and I heard that he has won the favor of Song Cifu. He wants to give him his legitimate daughter. It would be a good idea to have two surnames." Pei Sheng still approved of this marriage.
"Hey, you really are." Qi Qi laughed angrily, "Please tell me directly, what's going on? Why didn't my brother refuse or agree?"
This is the first time his son has called him "Father" in the past two years since he came back. He doesn't know what happened to his son when he went out this time, but the result is undoubtedly good.
"Hey, then you are gasping for breath and not answering, you are really anxious." Qi Qi gave him a fierce look.
"Yes, that's me." I'm a little proud. What's going on?
Pei Sheng raised his eyebrows.
He backhandedly prepared food for King Cheng, which made King Cheng sigh repeatedly that the child has grown up.
It seems that he really values Qi Moxuan, otherwise he would not allow her to marry as a legitimate daughter. As for Qi Moxuan's status, a concubine is enough.
Come on, he put out the bait, but his wife just didn't take the bait, so he had to think of other ways.
"Then, why don't you go to Kyoto to see it?" Pei Sheng took the opportunity to reveal his little plan.
"Then does my third brother agree?" After Qi Qi was excited, she couldn't help but worry. The other party's family background was so good, her third brother wouldn't be burdened and dare not agree, right?
"No, let's go home. We have a lot of things to do at home." Qi Qi declined with a smile.
Qi Qi smiled, without further explanation, turned around, breathed a sigh of relief, and left...
After the meal, the two came to the main room.
Seeing Cheng Wang like this, the anger that Gu Xiaoen had just raised dissipated in an instant.
"I, I will do it myself, and you, my father, will also eat it." The benevolent and filial etiquette that Gu Xiaoen had received since childhood really found it difficult to accept Cheng Wang's behavior.
"I'm sorry, father."
"Okay, okay, let's go home. You've been suffering outside these days. Let's see if you dare to go out and run around next time..." King Cheng kept chattering, taking the handle himself and pushing Gu Xiaoen back.
Huh, demo, after all that, it turns out he is waiting for her here.
Gu Xiaoen's eyes drooped slightly, hiding the complexity in his eyes. It turns out that taking the first step in some things is not as difficult as imagined.
After leaving the small courtyard, the two of them walked slowly in the large manor. In April, crops were planted in large areas of farmland in the manor, which looked green and full of vitality.
Fortunately, we still have a long way to go back, so we will make plans later.
Qi Qi felt a warm feeling in her heart after hearing this, and couldn't help laughing.
He wants to go back to find the truth, and then... protect his persistence.
Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "There's no rush, I'll go home first and then make plans."
Qi Qi couldn't help but feel proud as she listened. Her third brother was indeed the best. The Song family had a good vision.
"But I didn't agree either." Pei Sheng's lips curled up slightly.
Qi Qi's heart moved slightly. She naturally wanted to visit Kyoto. But going with him didn't feel right.
You don't have to rush back as much as you did when you came here. The carriage is driving at a constant speed. It's quite pleasant to take in the scenery along the way and tease the children from time to time.
"He said that regarding marriage, it is better to have two surnames. He needs to discuss it with his parents and his sister at home. Is this the sister he is talking about you?"
After Qi Qi and the others left, Gu Xiaoen stayed in the manor for another three days before embarking on the road back home with the three attendants arranged by Pei Sheng.
Pei Sheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up and said, "Your third brother won the top prize this time."
Pei Sheng understood and chatted with her about the Song family.
Gu Xiaoen pondered for a moment, then said with a somewhat serious expression, "Father, please ask them all to retreat."
When King Cheng heard this, the smile on his face faded, and his expression became serious as well, "Okay."
Waving his hands to make everyone around him retreat, "What do you want to say?"
Gu Xiaoen raised his head and looked directly at him and asked, "Father, am I your son?"
