Ye Chen returned to the room where he and Xiao Churan were staying, and then connected to Gu Qiuyi's video call, and asked her: "Hey, Nannan."
"Brother Ye Chen!" In the video, Gu Qiuyi, wearing a nightgown, excitedly waved to Ye Chen.
In the video, Gu Qiuyi has no makeup, and her long black hair is casually draped over her shoulders. She doesn't have the aura of a top star, and looks more like an incomparably beautiful girl next door.
At this time, she happily asked in the video: "Brother Ye Chen, what are you busy with?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "I'm not busy with anything. Isn't the New Year coming soon? Just prepare some New Year's goods at home."
Gu Qiuyi smiled happily and said: "Hehe, me too! This year we are going back to our old house in Houhai to celebrate the New Year!"
As she said that, she switched the camera and took a picture of the surrounding environment. Sure enough, it was in the Gu family's courtyard.
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask: "Nanny, your courtyard is so big. Doesn't it seem a little deserted for a family of three to celebrate the New Year?"
"No way!" Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "This year, my second uncle and my third uncle's family will celebrate the New Year together. There are three big families in total. It's quite lively."
Ye Chen nodded, thinking of her second and third uncles, and couldn't help but ask: "Nanny, how have your second and third uncles behaved recently? They haven't caused any trouble to your family anymore, have they?"
Gu Qiuyi said hurriedly: "No, no! My second uncle and third uncle's attitudes have been very good recently. They run home every two days, and every time they go, they bring various gifts in large and small bags!"
"Oh, by the way, they both proposed to my dad to go back to their old house to celebrate the New Year this year. They said it was a long time since the family had a lively New Year together, so they wanted to spend the New Year together, so my dad agreed.
"
Ye Chen knew that Gu Qiuyi's second uncle Gu Yanzheng, third uncle Gu Yangang, and their sons were still in a state of losing fertility. It didn't take much thinking to guess that they must be very honest during this period.
After all, they hoped to please Gu Yanzhong's family and then gain their own forgiveness.
They had signed an agreement with Gu Yanzhong before, and everything in the future would only be done by Gu Yanzhong, so they couldn't cause any more trouble now.
So, Ye Chen said with satisfaction: "That's good. If you two uncles still have evil intentions, you must tell me as soon as possible."
Gu Qiuyi nodded quickly and said, "Brother Ye Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go to my parents' room. They also have something to tell you!"
Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "Wear more clothes. This dress looks like it is for summer. Don't freeze it."
Gu Qiuyi smiled sweetly and said: "It won't freeze, because the entire courtyard is equipped with floor heating, and the heat is very sufficient. The temperature in the room is always around 28 degrees."
Only then did Ye Chen feel relieved.
In his mind, Gu Qiuyi was not so much a fiancée who was engaged and had a matchmaker agreement with her parents, but rather a little sister who had been by his side since she was a child.
Therefore, Ye Chen also paid special attention to her.
In the video, Gu Qiuyi trotted all the way through the huge hall and arrived at Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu's room.
Gu Yanzhong was drinking tea and reading at his desk. Lin Wanqiu burned a furnace of fine sandalwood and brought the incense burner to Gu Yanzhong's desk. Seeing Gu Qiuyi running in hurriedly at this time, she hurriedly asked: "Nanny, be careful.
One point, don’t fall!”
Gu Qiuyi said excitedly: "Mom, I'm video chatting with brother Ye Chen!"
As soon as Gu Yanzhong heard the word Ye Chen, he immediately put down the book in his hand and asked excitedly: "Are you making a video with Chen'er? Come on, come on, let me say a few words to him!"
Gu Qiuyi quickly placed her phone on the desk, with the camera and screen facing Gu Yanzhong.
Gu Yanzhong looked very good at this time, and his overall condition was very young. When he saw Ye Chen in the video, he immediately smiled and said: "Chen'er! How are you doing in Jinling recently?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Looking back uncle, everything is fine. How are you and Aunt Lin?"
"Okay! We are fine!" Gu Yanzhong nodded repeatedly. At this time, Lin Wanqiu stood beside him, looked at Ye Chen on the screen, and said with a smile: "Chen'er, when are you coming to Yanjing to spend a few days again? You
Uncle Gu has been thinking about you very much recently, and basically talks about you several times every day, which makes my ears almost grow calluses."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, after I finish the things at hand, I will take the time to go to Yanjing to see you two."
Gu Qiuyi, who was standing on the other side of Gu Yanzhong, muttered hurriedly and dissatisfied: "What do you mean, look at the two of them? What should I do? Don't I need to look at them?"
Ye Chen hurriedly smiled and said: "Look, of course you have to look. I made a slip of the tongue. I will go back to see you, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Lin when I have time! Are you satisfied now?"
Gu Qiuyi hummed proudly: "That's pretty much it!"
At this time, Gu Yanzhong said: "By the way, Chen'er, I heard that your aunt went to Jinling?"
"Yes." Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Uncle Gu, have you heard about it?"
Gu Yanzhong smiled and said, "Your grandfather called me this morning and told me about you and your aunt."
Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Does he know that I have met you?"
Gu Yanzhong shook his head: "He doesn't know yet, so he thought I hadn't received your message yet, so he told me about you."
Ye Chen asked in confusion: "Why did he tell you these things?"
Gu Yanzhong smiled and said: "I think what he meant was that he mainly wanted to tell me your news, and then he asked me if I was still willing to fulfill the promise I made to your father back then and let you get married to my daughter."
Ye Chen couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
It seems that grandpa probably still wants to get him back to the Ye family, and then let himself marry Gu Qiuyi.
At this time, Gu Yanzhong also saw Ye Chen's embarrassment and said hurriedly: "Chen'er, don't put any pressure on this matter. I just told your grandfather that I was willing to fulfill my promise, but I also said that you must respect this matter.
What the children mean.”
After saying that, Gu Yanzhong said again: "Chen'er, you should follow your own pace. Since I said that our family has been waiting for you for three years, we will definitely wait for you for three years."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Gu, thank you for your understanding..."
Gu Yanzhong waved his hand and said, "You saved Uncle Gu's life. You don't have to be so polite to me."
Immediately, Gu Yanzhong said again: "Oh, by the way, your grandfather asked me to advise you that you and your aunt are a family after all. Don't get so angry, let alone hurt the harmony."
Ye Chen said: "Uncle Gu, my aunt is too domineering, and my grandfather did not give her the necessary restraints. When she arrived in Jinling, she started yelling at me, bossing me around, and even talked to my mother-in-law.
, it’s really a bit too arrogant.”
Gu Yanzhong nodded and said, "Your aunt in Yanjing is notoriously difficult to deal with. I didn't expect that she would be cured by you when she went to Jinling."
Ye Chen said calmly: "If she is not too outrageous, I don't want to be the same as her."
Gu Yanzhong smiled slightly and said, "Your grandfather still wants me to advise you. If you have time, go back to Ye's house. After the Spring Festival this year, after the Lantern Festival, it will be almost March. He hopes that you can spend the Qingming Festival
Come back and join him in the ancestor worship ceremony held by the Ye family in Yeling Mountain."
Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Hold an ancestor worship ceremony?"
"Yes." Gu Yanzhong said: "Your Ye family originally held an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years, and it happened to be this year. Moreover, Yeling Mountain has been developed for more than three years and was just completed last spring. The Ye family moved the ancestral graves there in the autumn.
So this year’s Qingming Festival is also the first Qingming Festival since the Ye family’s ancestral tomb was moved to Yeling Mountain.”
"So your grandfather wants to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony. At that time, not only you surnamed Ye, but also dozens of branches surnamed Ye across the country will also attend. You are the direct son and grandson of the Ye family, and he hopes that you can
Come here and formally pay homage to your parents."
