She has always been kind, so Zhuangziqi was naturally relieved. After putting away the silver notes, she smiled and said, "It's almost noon. At noon, the old man invites you to have delicious food. Let's agree first. I'll treat you this time."

In the past, Gu Jiu always shouted that he would treat Zhuangziqi, but in fact he refused to let him pay for it once.

He took the money today, but Gu Jiu couldn't steal it from him.

Unexpectedly, when Gu Jiu heard what he said, he blinked and smiled, "That's a coincidence. We won't eat outside this afternoon, so how about going home?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Ziqi was stunned and smiled in surprise: "It's only now, it's going to be in the evening when I go back."

He just wrote a new lecture notes and would teach those apprentices in the afternoon.

Although Zhuang Ziqi was unwilling to do these things at the beginning, now he is really starting to teach, but he is regaining his feelings when he was a dealer.

In addition, these people seem to be good people at the moment, so Zhuangziqi is becoming more and more concerned.

Hearing Zhuang Ziqi's words, Gu Jiu smiled with curved eyes, but did not directly say the reason, but said: "Just go back with me, there is a surprise."

After Zhuang Ziqi asked again, Gu Jiu refused to say anything.

Zhuangziqi was a little curious at the moment, and after cleaning up, he followed her back to the plum garden.

But he felt helpless. He treated Gu Jiu as a child to coax him, so he naturally didn't believe that there would be any surprises waiting for him.

But he didn't expect that it was really a surprise.

...

"Uncle Master?"

When Zhuang Ziqi saw the person in the main room, he was stunned at first, and then a huge surprise came: "When did you come, why didn't you ask me to notify me in advance."

Previously, Zhao Yan did agree to come here for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but although he agreed at that time, he did not say that he would come here so early!

Seeing him back, Zhao Yan stood up from his seat. Seeing them saluted, he reached out to support him and said happily: "I thought the journey was long before, and I was preparing to travel around the mountains and rivers. But I didn't know that there was nothing fun on the road, so I arrived a few days ago."

Everyone exchanged greetings for a while, while each took their seats, Zhuang Ziqi first asked Zhao Yan's health. He knew that everything was fine, so he felt relieved.

Then he remembered something again, and looked back at Gu Jiu and asked with a smile: "When did Ajiu know about it? He has hidden it until now."

No wonder the little girl said it was a surprise. This was really a surprise. But, this little girl must have known it a long time ago, and it was so concealed by him that it was so strict!

Hearing this, Gu Jiu poured a cup of tea with a smile, but gave it to Zhuang Ziqi first, and then poured it for himself. He smiled and said, "I thought about telling my master before, but I was afraid that you would worry about it later. Besides, this is a surprise."

She originally wanted to say it at that time, but if she had said it, with Zhuang Ziqi's thoughts, she would have to worry about it. Wouldn't that be more worthy of the gain?

Hearing her fallacies, Zhuang Ziqi laughed helplessly. When he was about to look at Zhao Yan, he smiled again: "Uncle Master has worked hard all the way. I will stay for a while when I come this time, so I can accompany you around."

Zhao Yan naturally agreed and asked someone to take the gifts he prepared to share one by one.

This time when he came to Beijing, he also brought the gift he bought himself, including the one from Mrs. Zhao.

When he saw that someone had a share, Zhuang Ziqi was embarrassed to accept it and smiled helplessly: "I'm all old men, so it's hard for you to think about me."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan's smile became more and more intense, and he said, "You will always be a junior in the uncle."

Gu Jiu accepted it with a smile, thanked Zhao Yan with a generous greeting. Thinking of the old lady Zhao, he asked with a smile: "Uncle Master, why didn't Grandma Zhao come here?"

When talking to Gu Jiu, Zhao Yan's voice softened a little, and he explained lovingly: "She was here originally, but she was not very cold before leaving. She thought about running around in Beijing and did not come here. However, she carefully selected the gifts and said she would come to see you next time."

The two of them had only been together for less than a month, which made Mrs. Zhao always think about it, which shows Gu Jiu's character.

Gu Jiu responded when he heard this, and thought that after he went back, he wanted the servants to prepare a return gift for Mrs. Zhao.

Several people spoke in a greeting. Gu Jiu sat for a while, then stood up and smiled and said, "Uncle Master, Master, you guys will chat first, I'll go to the kitchen."

After they agreed, Gu Jiu went out.

At noon, everyone was having dinner in the plum garden.

This was the first time Lin met Zhao Yan and knew that she was Qin Zheng's biological mother, so Zhao Yan was very polite to her.

After dinner, Zhao Yan and Zhuang Ziqi reminisced about the past, while Gu Jiu accompanied Lin back to the room.

Xiao Ming'er has been sent to Meiyuan again in the past two days. Now he is on the collapse of the Lin family's arhat, crawling around and having fun.

Lin looked at her with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and then Gu Jiu asked, "Does your mother want to sleep for a while?"

Upon hearing this, Lin smiled and shook his head, saying, "I won't sleep anymore. Now the day is short. If I go to bed now, I will not be able to sleep again at night."

People who are older always feel that there are fewer people, and Lin's body is not as weak as ordinary people, so it is a bit weaker.

Seeing the paleness in her eyebrows and eyes, Gu Jiu responded as he said, then took out the incense he brought, and gave it to Qiaorui with a smile: "You go and light the incense."

Lin doesn't like incense, but she smells these medicine fragrances in Jinyuzhai, which makes her feel very refreshed. Unfortunately, this medicine fragrance is not easy to store, so Gu Jiu brings it here every now and then.

She was meticulous, and Lin did not notice that the fragrance was gone. When she heard her words, she couldn't help but smile and shook her head and said, "It's hard for you to care about this, and there is no need to be such a trouble. Let Qiaorui go over and pick it up next time."

Gu Jiu nodded with a smile, and unexpectedly, Xiao Minger climbed to the side and threw himself in his arms. He hugged him quickly, and said with a smile: "My little ancestor, please be slower and be careful to fall."

However, Xiao Ming'er is only over one year old and can only babble in her mouth. Hearing this, he just smiled at her and performed a bubble of mouth.

Seeing that his saliva was flowing down, Gu Jiu smiled helplessly and used a handkerchief to wipe his saliva for him. He remembered something again, and asked, "Why did Sister Yao send the child here again? Didn't he take it back a few days ago?"

When he returned to Beijing, Zhou Yao once told Gu Jiu that the murderer who caused her was found, and that it was Zhou Chunhe's cousin.

Later, there was no news in the capital. However, within a few days, Zhou Yao took the child back.

She had thought before that what Qin Zheng said was so accurate, and the Zhou family and Duke Xuan Mansion chose to settle the matter privately. It was a pity that they had passed by, but why did this come again?

After hearing what she said, Lin's smile calmed down a little, sighed, and said softly: "Don't mention it, this is also a debt of grievances."

As soon as this was said, Gu Jiu was more stunned and asked, "How do you say this?"

She is not an outsider, and this matter will be caused sooner or later, so Lin did not hide it from her: "You were not here yesterday, so Zhou Yao brought her children to the door."

She entrusted the child to Lin and told her about her situation.

It turned out that the Duke Xuan Mansion had to settle privately before, but the Zhou family did not agree, but they just dragged it down and did not deal with the matter.

I took the child back just because the old lady of the Zhou family was sick and wanted to value her grandson.

But who would have thought that the lady from Duke Xuan’s Mansion was really arrogant and domineering. She thought that this matter was a complete story, and then came to Zhou Yao’s family to show off their power.

"If something happened to someone else was exposed, it would be too late to hide, but that person was a brainless person and said directly in front of Zhou Yao, 'If you are tactful, you should leave the Zhou family earlier and occupy Mrs. Zhou's position. I don't guarantee that I will do anything'. Zhou Chunhe also heard this very clearly."

Although Zhou Chunhe looked a little dull and mediocre, he was sincere in his wife. He immediately scolded his cousin, not allowing her to step into the Zhou family's door again.

This time, the two families were completely in a slump.

As soon as Lin said this, he saw Xiao Minger jumping around, hurriedly holding him, and smiled helplessly: "Little Minger, be good, come to my arms, let's be good."

She hugged Xiao Ming'er and patted him skillfully on the back. Sure enough, she saw that the little guy became quiet.

I just lay in her arms, but still pulled her hair.
