“That’s true. How’s the family now? Is everything okay?” Zhou Ying asked.
“It’s alright, but Grandma’s health still hasn’t recovered. Second Aunt and the others are guarding at home.”
After entering the house, Zhou Ying asked Qiuxiang to fetch some water and let them wash up briefly. Then, she served them a bowl of wontons, buns, and a few side dishes. She said, “You guys make do first. We’ll have a good meal tonight.”
“This is already a good meal,” Gu Chengen replied.
“Indeed, then we won’t stand on ceremony.” Gu Chengye thanked her, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
Although Mrs. Liu was a little off-put, since she came at the wrong time, she couldn’t find any reason.
“Are you going to live together or separately?” Zhou Ying asked after they finished eating.
“We’ll live together. We can discuss anything that way.”
“Alright.” Zhou Ying nodded and then personally led them to the guest courtyard. “This place was just cleaned up. Everything inside is new. See if anything is missing, and I’ll get someone to prepare it for you.”
“This is a guest courtyard, right? Can’t we stay in the main courtyard?” Mrs. Liu glanced around and demanded with dissatisfaction.
No matter what, they were family. It was awkward for them to live in the guest courtyard.
“Those two courtyards are too small to fit you all. Besides, Chenglin lives in the courtyard on the west side. It’s not easy to move his stuff out if he’s not at home.”
“It’s good here. It’s quiet, and it’s a good place to study.” After Gu Chengye finished speaking, he gave Mrs. Liu a warning glance.
Now that Gu Chengrui and his wife are no longer the same as before, she might be chased out if she continues to act like this.
“It is a quiet place. Alright, we brothers will stay in the east wing.” After Gu Chengsi finished speaking, he walked straight to the east wing.
Although there were five rooms in the main house, with Mrs. Liu around, it was uncomfortable for them to live together.
Seeing this, Gu Chengye directly brought Mrs. Liu into the largest room. Coincidentally, one was in the east and the other in the west, so every room was occupied.
After they settled down, Zhou Ying called over two maids and two manservants and assigned them.
She went to the kitchen and instructed them to add a few more dishes for dinner.
When it was dark, Gu Chengrui walked in with a tired face. Zhou Ying asked Niu Lirong to make him a pot of Pu’er tea and told him about Gu Chengye and the others coming to the capital.
“The exams are at the end of February. They’re early.” Gu Chengrui spoke as he washed his face.
“Maybe they wanted to come over and get to know a few friends.”
“That’s true. Other than food and accommodation, let’s not care about anything else. Let them do whatever they want.”
“I understand.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.
After Gu Chengrui had a cup of tea and recovered, Zhou Ying asked Qiuxiang to inform their guests to come over for dinner.
She also informed Chunxiang and the others to prepare the dishes.
The dishes for dinner were much more varied. There were garlic ribs, chestnut roast chicken, braised pork, steamed bass, stir-fried garlic with bacon, stir-fried pork, garlic and rapeseed, and boiled peanuts.
Finally, there was a bowl of steamed egg custard for each of them.
Gu Chengye looked at the dishes on the table and exclaimed in surprise, “This is too sumptuous. We’re all family. There’s no need to be so grand.”
“Yeah, Chengrui, home-cooked food is pretty good.” Gu Chengen echoed.
“You guys just arrived. No matter what, I have to welcome you guys. Hurry up and sit down. It won’t taste good if it gets cold. Would you like a drink?” Gu Chengrui asked after everyone sat down.
“You and Brother Chengen can drink. The two of us have to participate in the general exams soon, so we won’t drink. Oh right, Brother Chengrui, did you not participate in the provincial examination?” Gu Chengye asked Gu Chengrui..
