Chapter 1530: Chapter 1533: An Unexpected Blessing
“Go to Erya’s Fish Manor, tell their shopkeeper I have urgent business with them, and ask them to co at once!” He paused and added, “Forget it, don’t scare them. Just have them co when they have the ti.”
Gu Youyou can temporarily ignore Gu Wu, but the fact that Gu Wu is fine and has co to Beijing must be communicated to Erya and the others, to prevent being used by others.
“Alright, this servant will go at once.”
…
Gu Wu and the young beggar were cleaned up spotless, and after wearing brocade clothes and adornnts, they seed to have certain appearances.
Especially the young beggar, who carried himself in a manner that seed no less than the young masters in Zhang Residence, which indeed made Pri Minister Zhang see him in a new light.
“Is this your son?” Pri Minister Zhang was sowhat surprised. He felt Gu Wu looked like an honest toiler from a farming family, but his son didn’t quite match.
They didn’t look like father and son at all; Gu Wu was a typical person from the southwest, short in stature.
But this son looked like a typical scholar from a Southern Water Town.
Gu Wu hurriedly explained, “His na is Gu Shuisheng, a na I gave him. He is not my biological son, but during that year of the flood, I rescued him. When I found him, he was clutching a piece of board floating on the surface, drifting past , so I pulled him up, and hence nad him Shuisheng.”
“Oh, you picked him up?” Pri Minister Zhang looked at Gu Shuisheng and asked, “Where are you from?”
Gu Shuisheng lowered his head and softly said, “I am from the south. During the flood, I fled with my parents, but later my parents both died, and now I am left alone.”
Gu Shuisheng, keeping his head down, didn’t look at anyone. Pri Minister Zhang squinted slightly; it seems necessary to investigate this person.
Of course, the most important thing now is to properly utilize Gu Youyou’s third uncle.
That said, Gu Youyou is quite a sentintal person, having brought all the poor relatives from ho to enjoy life near Beijing. How could she let her third uncle fall into being a beggar? Clearly, this third uncle isn’t telling the truth.
Or hasn’t fully told the truth.
Moreover, last night he had already sent people to investigate. Gu Youyou’s father is the eldest of the Gu Family, with two younger brothers. The second uncle already died the year of the great flood, and the third uncle… the information on him hasn’t been found yet. However, it is certain that the couple at Erya’s Fish Manor are indeed Gu Youyou’s third uncle’s children.
Pri Minister Zhang narrowed his eyes and said, “Brother Gu, I’ve heard that your son and daughter opened a famous Fish Manor here in Beijing. Although it’s not as grand as the Ningwang Residence, it’s enough for you to enjoy your old age. Why aren’t you seeking out your son and daughter, but instead looking for your niece?”
Gu Wu looked surprised and said, “My Erya and Sanbao opened a Fish Manor in Beijing?”
“Yes, didn’t you know?” Pri Minister Zhang raised an eyebrow.
Gu Wu seed sowhat agitated, thinking his children were living well, living a good life. His heart was filled with mixed emotions, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, he finally said, “Pri Minister Zhang, I, I have been wandering with Shuisheng all these years, begging around. I’ve only heard that my niece beca a prince’s concubine, but I didn’t know the situation of my children.”
Seeing the scrutinizing look from Pri Minister Zhang, he quickly added, “Lotus Village, I’ve gone back to see it in recent years. There’s no one there. I don’t know if they died or, like , drifted to other places. I… I… didn’t expect them to live so well, that’s great…”
Seeing the old man nearly burst into tears, Pri Minister Zhang quickly waved his hand and said, “Alright, now I’ve told you.”
