Chapter 927: Chapter 927 A Visit
....Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Fifteen minutes later, Gu Chengye entered the room, a wide smile stretching across his face. Mrs. Sun, upon seeing him, rushed forward, eager to share the good news.
“You already know?” Gu Chengye asked, surprised.
Mrs. Sun filled him in on Niu Fugui’s visit and the news of Zhou Ying successfully giving birth to a son that morning.
Gu Chengye’s expression was a mix of emotions. He hadn’t antic.i.p.ated Gu Chengrui being the first to bear a son. But what truly irked him was that his achievements, the supposed cause for celebration, had been overshadowed by an infant.
He glanced at Mrs. Sun, who donned new attire for the occasion. “Are we going to celebrate?”
“Of course,” she replied. “He’s the eldest grandson of our branch, and your father has been eagerly awaiting this day for years.”
“Very well, I’ll change my clothes.”
“Go to the study first. Your father is waiting for you there,” Mrs. Sun instructed.
“Alright, help me find the new purple clothes I got made after the new year.”
Gu Chengye turned and headed toward the study.
Inside the study, Mr. Gu, busy choosing a gift for his grandson, brightened upon seeing Gu Chengye enter. “Ah, there you are! Splendid news! You’ve finally fulfilled your grandfather’s long-held wish.”
“Father, you flatter me,” Gu Chengye chuckled. “Third Brother’s achievements far surpa.s.s those of mine.”
“It’s not the same,” Mr. Gu explained. “While I yearned for an official in the family, I desired one who pa.s.sed the imperial exam, served honestly, and benefited the people. My final wish is for you and your third brother to work together.”
“In the future, I hope you climb the ranks steadily, becoming an official who humbly serves the people. I and your uncle will handle your financial needs so that you can focus on integrity and duty.”
“I understand, Father,” Gu Chengye acknowledged.
“Good,” Mr. Gu said, gathering his things. “Let’s pack and head to your third brother’s residence to see my eldest grandson.”
“Yes,” Gu Chengye agreed and took his leave.
Mr. Gu, after selecting a suet jade safety buckle as a gift, followed suit.
As they exited, they encountered Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Sun, both waiting in a carriage by the door. Upon learning of their shared destination, the two parties combined and eagerly embarked on their journey to the Marquis’ residence.
Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui, having just finished making a meal for Zhou Ying, received the news of them coming. Recognizing the impatience on Zhou Ying’s face, he understood she wasn’t up for visitors.
He turned to Kuihua, who delivered the news. “Inform them to wait a moment. Tell them Mistress is still resting. I’ll be there shortly.”
“Yes, Master,” Sunflower replied before departing.
Gu Chengrui tucked Zhou Ying back in, whispering, “Go back to sleep, love. I’m still here.”
“Alright,” Zhou Ying murmured, her eyes fluttering shut. “Just remember to take good care of the children, especially Guoguo. Don’t let her feel neglected.”
“Don’t worry, I will,” Gu Chengrui a.s.sured her. He placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before leaving the room.
He then temporarily entrusted the baby’s care to Mrs. Lin and brought Guoguo with him to greet the guests.
“Father, Aunt Liu, Second Aunt, Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, Aunt Sun,” Gu Chengrui greeted everyone upon entering the room.
Guoguo, spotting her grandfather, immediately ran toward him and jumped into his arms.
Mr. Gu, his face beaming with joy, scooped her up. “Look at you, Guoguo! You’ve grown so much! Did you listen to your mother and learn to read?”
“Yes, I can read stories now!” Guoguo declared proudly. “I can even count!”
“Is that so? How many legs does a duck have?” Mr. Gu posed a challenge.
“One duck has two legs,” Guoguo answered confidently, “so eight ducks have sixteen legs!”
Mr. Gu, impressed by her response, chuckled. “Not bad, Guoguo! Keep practicing, and you’ll learn even more!” He then rewarded her with a peanut.
Guoguo thanked him with a wide smile and snuggled back into her father’s
arms..
