Chapter 134 It’s Really Too Difficult

After returning to the mountain villa in the border town from the military camp, Gu Xixian did not stay any longer. She was eager to go home. First, she was worried that her family would worry. Second, after such a delay, it was almost the end of the year. It was the first year for her parents to spend the New Year in Beijing. She must rush back to reunite with her family. After the New Year, she still had to see her brother pass the imperial examination.

Gu Di's goal was Gu Xixian, so he didn't care what the little girl wanted to do or how she did it, he just protected her. The group of people kept going, and the time to arrive was shortened by half. From the horses' wilted appearance, it can be seen how hard the group of people worked on the road.

As soon as they entered the city gate, the news was passed back to their respective homes by concerned people. Gu Lieqi and Du Xianniang have been living in Tong Mansion during this period. Only this way of sticking together can make them feel a little at ease.

Gu Xixian looked at the people running away, her eyes full of suspicion. If she was not dazzled, there should be servants from the Gu and Tong mansions here, so weren't they here to welcome her? Why did they turn around and run away as if they had seen a ghost when they saw her?

Only Gu Shaoye's attendant Yun Bo was still standing there, with a hidden excitement on his face: "Master, Third Young Master, you are back. The master has been waiting for you at home for a long time."

He added in his heart that this was not something he had been waiting for for a long time, but something that had kept him awake day and night.

Gu Xixian was grateful and decided to go to Gu Di's house to see the old man first. The Thirteen Eagles separated at the city gate and went home. Although they often went out, they were really in a hurry this time. I think their families were worried. Gu Di bowed to them. They had been brothers for many years, so there was no need to say more. They understood each other.

Crossing the stone threshold, Gu Shaoye was sitting in the rose courtyard, taking a nap. The old man, who was originally vigorous, looked much thinner, and his gray temples were actually dyed with silver frost. Gu Xixian was stunned for a moment, and then she felt endless sadness. The old man's change was only because he was worried about her, and she was so sure in her heart.

"Great uncle..." Gu Xixian's voice was a little choked and his nose felt sore.

Gu Shaoye suddenly opened his eyes and saw the pretty little girl standing in front of him. He couldn't help but blush. What he said was extremely cold and hard: "As the head of the family, it is really stupid not to use your brain, not to judge the truth, and to be led by the nose."

Gu Di rolled his eyes to the sky. The old man was just stubborn and liked to speak in a sarcastic way. He must be very heartbroken in his heart.

Gu Xixian sniffed and moved closer, pulling at his robe sleeve and shaking it, and sincerely admitted his mistake: "Yes, my great uncle is right, Xixian is really stupid, he didn't even think of this, and made everyone worry, I will pay attention next time."

"Will there be a next time?" Gu Shaoye raised his voice. He should cherish his life and not let it happen again.

Gu Xixian blinked his eyes and asked carefully: "Then this won't happen again?"

Gu Shaoye suppressed the excitement of regaining the treasure in his heart. Looking at the little girl's flattering expression, he could no longer pretend to be cold and hard on his face. He touched her head and said earnestly: "The head of a family is like a general in the army. It is the most important thing to sit in control and suppress people's hearts. Be more careful in everything. You still have us. Don't always think about rushing forward on your own. You are smart, but there are so many loopholes in this matter, but you didn't see through them. It can only be said that you lack trust in your subordinates. Child, one person can't do everything. You have to try to trust your own people."

Hitting the nail on the head, it was a revelation! In fact, Gu Xixian had already reflected on this matter in her heart. This time, just as Gu Shaoye pointed out, she subconsciously lacked trust in everyone, so when she received the news that she needed to solve it personally, she rushed out without hesitation. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can find that there are so many flaws. There are Gu Liepo, Lidong, Liao Xing, and Brother Yong in the border town. There is the experienced Gu Liepo in the external chaos. How could his experience in dealing with things be less than hers? Internal disturbances are even more impossible. The four parties are restraining each other, but she is the only master. How chaotic can it be? It is because she always holds that human hearts are unpredictable and is afraid of the fickleness of human hearts that so many things happen.

This was an elder who truly cared about her. She took two steps back and bowed to Gu Shaoye solemnly: "Thank you for your teachings, great uncle. Xixian has made note of it."

Gu Shaoye was pleased with her insight and intelligence, but also felt sorry for her precocity. What was wrong with the child? The problem was that she didn't have a family that she could rely on, which made the child think that she had to rely on herself for everything. He blamed the family in Xiaoyuewan Village, and even more so himself. If he had paid attention to them earlier and helped them earlier, why would the children be in this situation? But it was too late to regret, so he could only pay more attention to them.

"Have you met your parents and teachers?" Gu Shaoye asked.

Gu Xixian shook his head: "Not yet, I thought I'd come with Uncle Di to say hello to you before going back."

Gu Shaoye was very pleased. He felt great to be ranked first. "Your parents are in Tong's house these days. I will go with you to avoid those two crying and making people hate them."

Gu Xixian... Granduncle, is it really okay for you to dislike my parents in front of me like this? Alas, she has no choice but to take advantage of the privileges of a high generation.

Gu Shaoye...if it wasn't for you and your brother's sake, I would have beaten him to death.

An old man and a young boy walked out the door holding hands.

Gu Di followed silently without even noticing his gaze... In the old man's eyes, I might be wearing an invisible cloak, but it doesn't matter, I am air and I am proud.

When they arrived at Tong's mansion, Tong Mingyan and the other three had been looking forward to it for a long time. Just as they were looking forward to it, three people came from afar, one old, one young and one young, dragging the glow of the sunset, slowly approaching.

Du Xianniang covered her mouth, tears streaming down her cheeks. Yin Xueruo also burst into tears. They both reached out their hands at the same time. Gu Xixian ran over quickly and hugged one of their arms: "My dear mothers, I am sorry that my unfilial child has made you worry."

The two shook their heads but could not speak. Their throats were choked by tears and they could only sob. Gu Xixian was helpless. Women are indeed made of water. How could their tears flow? What should they do if they are short of water?

Gu Lieqi didn't snatch the two women away, but he was also sobbing quietly. Tong Mingyan didn't cry, but his eyes were also red.

"The child just came back and hasn't had a sip of water yet. What's the point of you acting like this? Do you still want the child to coax you?" Gu Shaoye was so angry that he shouted at them, calling them a bunch of guys who could only hold the child back and still had the nerve to piss.

The four of them swallowed... This old man always found fault with them, and now even expressing his true feelings was criticized. It was really difficult.
