He then turned to the Princess Consort of Zhenbei and nodded secretly.
Lin Chang'er noticed his little actions and made up her mind. She quickly said, "I'll go greet him!"
She stood up and said, "Although I am in charge of this household, I am still young and inexperienced. Aunt Princess, Madam Huo, would you mind accompanying me?"
The Huo sisters were naturally more than happy to accept this.
Lin Chang'er and the other two hurriedly left their seats. Chen Shanzhang sat upright at his seat, stroking his beard, presumably because the one from the north had arrived.
His daughter is incredibly audacious!
But what could he do?
He wasted his whole life, and only at the end did he find a goddaughter he liked, so of course he spoiled and pampered her.
If he's not happy, wouldn't that be giving that bastard Lin Beishan a free ride?
Speaking of which, I wonder where that old fellow is now, whether he's having any trouble adjusting to the new environment, and whether he'll be able to have a hot meal on New Year's Eve.
Forget it, for the sake of his advanced age and the fact that he's still working hard, I'll just have to be a little more pleasing to the eye!
Gu Xiaoman leaned closer mysteriously, "Grandpa Headmaster, Grandpa Headmaster, who's here outside? Why does Auntie have to go and greet them personally?"
Gu Xiaolu looked at Chen Shanzhang with curiosity. Why would someone come to visit instead of staying home for the New Year's Eve?
not understand!
Headmaster Chen, looking as if he had everything under control, smiled and nodded, "Anyone who would send your aunt to pick them up personally must be an important person!"
"How big is it?"
"Very big!"
"Is he as high-ranking as Uncle Wu?" Gu Xiaoman asked, resting her chin on her hand. Wu Qingfeng was the highest-ranking official she had ever met.
Actually, no, he had met Prefect Chen before. However, because of the connection with Headmaster Chen, Prefect Chen was dressed casually when he came and didn't dare to put on airs. Therefore, the "high-ranking official" that Gu Xiaoman had in mind was someone like Wu Qingfeng.
Headmaster Chen laughed heartily, “Then you are much older than Uncle Wu.”
Not to mention official rank, even in terms of seniority, he's definitely one step ahead of Uncle Wu in this lifetime.
However...
His gaze secretly swept over Gu Xiaolu, who was equally curious, and the little goldfish who was sitting obediently with its little hands placed properly. These two little ones were about to be promoted in the family hierarchy.
I wonder what Xiaoman's feelings will be when she finds out that her older brothers and sisters have become her cousins.
While Chen Shanzhang was playing with the child, Lin Chang'er and the others arrived at the gate.
A discreet carriage was parked at the entrance, and a tall figure stood beside it, his face hidden under a bamboo hat.
Judging by his figure alone, he is indeed majestic.
Having roughly spotted them, he stepped forward to greet them.
Princess Zhenbei ran a few steps forward and grasped the man's hand, "Brother Pei!"
"Zhiyi, are you feeling much better?"
Princess Zhenbei nodded, "A heart ailment always needs a heart remedy. Now that we have found the remedy, I will naturally get better day by day."
"That's good, that's good!" The Prince of Zhenbei nodded repeatedly.
Princess Zhenbei seemed to remember something and quickly turned to introduce, "The one next to you is Chang'er, Feng'er's fiancée, and also the stepmother of our two children. The children are very well-behaved."
The introduction was simple and unadorned, yet it conveyed the deepest gratitude.
Madam Huo smiled at the couple, "We're all benefiting from Chang'er these days." So, how you express it is up to you to consider.
The Prince of Zhenbei patted his wife's hand, "Okay, okay, I understand."
After saying this, he stepped forward, raised his hand in a gesture of respect, and bowed deeply to Lin Chang'er, saying, "At this moment, I will not mention anything else. Please accept my bow, my benefactor."
Lin Chang'er was startled. She knew that ancient families valued etiquette, but this was not something she could accept!
Busy returned the bow, saying, "Your Highness is too kind. You shouldn't have bowed to me alone. I've been at the Gu family's place for half a year, and the Gu family has been taking care of the children. If you really want to thank someone, you should thank the Gu family first, and then thank me!"
She doesn't like to work for free. She did indeed plan and hire the tutors for the deer and the goldfish's education. The Prince of Zhenbei wanted to become her disciple, and she wasn't unwilling to accept it, but she couldn't take all the credit without mentioning Gu Jia and being grateful for what she had.
It was her deceased, cheap ex-husband who brought the child back to the Gu family. The Gu family raised the child bit by bit, until she, the stepmother, came to take over this dilapidated family...
