Chapter 5
It is said that the Guoan Hou Mansion has a history of a hundred years. A hundred years ago, the Guoan Hou Mansion was truly a big family and a great cause. It has been protecting the safety of the royal family for generations. Several ancestors also became the emperor's teachers and the grand tutors, and were deeply trusted by the emperor. But as generations passed, and as Gu Caihua's generation passed, the situation was much worse than before.
But relying on the protection of our ancestors, Guoan Hou Mansion has been smooth sailing over the years, with delicious food and spicy food.
The Guoan Hou Mansion is not a title of Gu Caihua, it is the honor left by his ancestors. It is also because of the honor left by his ancestors that although Gu Caihua has not had the glorious achievements of his ancestors over the years, he inherited the title of his ancestors and was still a Hou. He gradually became declining and can only live in the cabinet now. Although he has no power, it sounds good!
When he arrived at his eldest son Gu Yanjing, he received the reward from His Royal Highness and recommended it to the emperor. Later, he was appointed as the chief minister and was responsible for the safety of the royal family. He was also considered an important task and glorious.

There was heavy snow falling outside, and Gu Jinsheng suddenly ran over, and Gu Caihua was a little surprised.
He was wearing a cloak outside, and the guards below held him an umbrella. The wind blew, making the face hurt.
Gu Jinsheng had already trotted towards him and shouted: "Dad, Dad."
"It's such a mess. It's snowing outside, why are you running out for?" Besides, it's almost dark this day, and Gu Caihua's tone is a little blameless.
Although Gu Caihua is already forty years old, he is well maintained! It seems that it is not an exaggeration to say that he is thirty. He is handsome and has a bit elegant temperament. He is wearing brocade clothes and silk and satin, which is also extraordinary. He is already tall and stands in front of his petite daughter, making him look taller and more powerful.
Facing Gu Caihua's reproach, she immediately acted coquettishly and took her father's arm: "Dad, I'm here to invite you to spend the New Year's Eve dinner with me and my brother. My mother is seriously ill and bedridden for many years. She came to see me in the cold snow today. She looked very pitiful. Only then did she remember that I had not spent the New Year with my mother for many years. Dad, I heard from the servants that my mother had a shocking appearance back then. There were few girls in this capital who could compare to her mother's beauty. Why did she become like this now? It looks very pitiful. Come with me quickly, my brother is already waiting there."
She spoke softly, and her words were quite reasonable, which made him feel a little humble. Gu Caihua looked at her and found that she looked more and more like her mother. Although she was only fourteen years old, her facial features were delicate, and her combination made her look amazing.
When I saw that she was mostly rouge and powdered with a thick layer on her face, she looked carefully and found that she did not apply any makeup, but her appearance was indescribable and elegant. She looked at her well-dressed, elegant, but extraordinary. She was not as good as she always dressed herself in a red and green way, like a butterfly, and she looked like a child who couldn't grow up.
Turning sideways, Gu Caihua instructed the guards who followed: "Go and notify Aunt Zhou, don't wait for me, let them eat by themselves."
He couldn't help but follow his daughter. He hadn't been with her for many years. The last time he looked at her, he didn't remember very much. It seemed that he was a little unhappy at that time. After a long time, he gradually forgot about it.
Because the wind and snow were too strong, Gu Jinsheng walked around him and said to him: "Dad, please walk by my side. I will block the wind for you so that the wind will not blow on you."
Gu Caihua felt inexplicably warmed up. How could his daughter be so sensible?
In my memory, this daughter has always been arrogant, arrogant, and behavior is different from ordinary people, which often makes him feel a headache. Before coming, someone told him that the second lady had slid down the room, but fortunately it was fine. He felt annoyed when he heard this. He was already a 14-year-old girl and was still jumping up and down. Who taught this? It depends on how well-behaved and sensible the third child was.
She is the legitimate daughter, and he still expects her to have a good marriage in the future...
Gu Caihua thought of this and asked her: "I heard you fell down the ladder today?" He wanted to take the opportunity to teach her a lesson and tell her not to make trouble anymore.
To put it nicely, I heard that someone reported his own affairs to him?
Gu Jinsheng pursed his lips and said humbly: "Dad, Sheng'er knows that he is wrong. You shouldn't worry about it. Sheng'er promises that this will not happen again."
Gu Caihua was really surprised to give in so quickly. He looked at her carefully and his face was red with cold. It was really his daughter. He knew that Sheng'er would never give in. Even if she was really wrong, she would ignore her and let her go out with a three-pointer and cry and shouted that she was right.
Since his daughter admitted her mistake, he couldn't continue to blame her. He just took the opportunity to talk to her with great sincerity: "Sheng'er is already fourteen years old and it's time to propose marriage. Don't mess around like when she was a child. After two years, she will become an adult. You are the only legitimate daughter in our family. You must always think about the glory of the family and make a good marriage in the future."
Jin Sheng agreed crisply: "Dad, I will listen to you."
Gu Caihua was in a good mood immediately and felt that his daughter was really sensible today. Maybe it was to let him see her mother, or maybe he really grew up and his temperament would gradually change.
The two of them headed towards Mei Pavilion together. At that time, the guard who went to Aunt Zhou's side also brought the words over and reported that Mr. Hou and the second lady had gone to Mrs. Hou's place and told her not to wait.
Originally, Aunt Zhou and her children were waiting here for Mr. Hou to come and have the New Year dinner with them. At first, she heard the guard reply and said that Mr. Hou had gone to Mr. Hou's wife, so she stood up and was a little angry.
My daughter had been talking about Jin Sheng for an afternoon, and she didn't agree with it, but now she had to think about it carefully. Gu Jinsheng has always been acquainted with Yunxi, and has been spending the New Year with them all these years. Why did he suddenly become more and more aware of her mother? He also pulled Master Hou over? Is this what she meant by herself or Mrs. Hou? She has been in bed for many years and basically won't interfere in the big and small things in the mansion. She has always been noble in nature and is even more unlikely to take the initiative to beg Master Hou to accompany her...
Aunt Zhou was thinking about this, and the third lady Yun Xi was so angry that she came to her and shouted: "Auntie, you heard it. My father actually accompanied them. He obviously accompanied us every year. What does Gu Jinsheng mean? It was wrong when she woke up and spoke very rude to me. I didn't care about this matter with her. When she was just angry for a moment, but now she invited her father over and accompanied her mother." Suddenly, she felt that the whole thing was wrong, and she didn't know where the mistake was. Gu Yunxi was a little anxious.
The fifth young master, who was only ten years old, also pulled her clothes and said, "Auntie, let's go find dad too."
Although they called their biological mothers one by one, they were raised by their biological mothers since childhood, so they naturally felt like their biological mothers. Even if they called their mothers, they still didn't like the sick woman who lie in bed all day long.
Aunt Zhou's eyes rolled and immediately made a decision, "Madam Qin, wrap the fifth young master tightly, don't let the wind blow. Chang Gui, please continue to do so, and quickly prepare a sedan chair for the fifth young master."
Other concubines did not have the opportunity to spend the big time with Mr. Hou, but she relied on Mr. Hou's favor and helped Mrs. Hou take charge of the backyard over the years and kept the mansion in order. Even if she went over, Mr. Hou would not say anything when he saw her. When she saw her, she came with her children together, she would only be happy.
They dared to pull Mr. Hou over to accompany him, but she took the child over and insisted on disgusting them to death.
