This time when returning to Taifeng County, Chen Shaozhou gave Mrs. Gu a surprise.

After getting off the carriage and seeing the familiar location and house, Mrs. Gu was a little dazed: "Shaozhou, why did you bring me here?"

Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, I bought this house at the end of last year, but I didn't tell you the last time I came back."

If they bought other valuable things, Mrs. Gu would not only not want to say a few words, but this is where she has lived with the old man for more than ten years. Now she bought it, it can be considered a matter of her concern.

Mrs. Gu walked in and saw that the layout inside was completely different from the previous one.

Gu Xian said: "I originally wanted to return to my previous appearance, but then I thought it was unnecessary. People are changing, and the house should not remain unchanged."

Mrs. Gu didn't care about these things: "It's okay, as long as this big turtle is there. By the way, hurry up and see if the osmanthus tree in my yard is still there."

When she arrived at the main courtyard, she was very disappointed when she saw that the osmanthus tree was gone.

Seeing this, Chen Shaozhou said, "Mother-in-law, we can plant two more osmanthus trees, or move two large ones to come."

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "That osmanthus tree was planted by Axian and I. If it has been more than 30 years since then."

This Chen Shaozhou has no choice.

The layout of the house is the same as that of Mrs. Gu before, except that there are no ornaments on the Duobao shelf, and the whole house also looks empty.

Gu Xian said, "Mom, after we go to the street to buy something and put it in the house after we go to the grave tomorrow."

"What are you buying? You can't live there for a few days, so why waste this money?"

Gu Xian smiled and said, "Mom, why can't you live for a few days! When I come back from Lushan, I will stay here with you."

Mrs. Gu was surprised and happy: "Really?"

Gu Xian hugged Mrs. Gu and said in a muffled voice: "Mom, I know you have always missed your father. Over the years, whether you are in Fuzhou or in the capital, your heart is always here. Mom, Alin is going to make a future and cannot come back. Shaozhou and I have nothing to do, so I will accompany you here to support you in my old age!"

This is also where she grew up, with many memories of her. Although there are good and bad, they are all part of her life.

In the evening, the mother and daughter went for a walk in the garden. Seeing the garden bare and nothing was left, Mrs. Gu said, "Look for a gardener and plant flowers in the garden."

In the past, she was not interested in flowers and plants, but after going to the capital and being influenced by Qingshu, she thought that these flowers and plants were also good, and she could get better when she looked colorful.

Gu Xian smiled and said, "Shaozhou is already looking for it. Don't worry, mom, here will be full of colorful flowers next year."

After taking a walk, Mrs. Gu called Chen Shaozhou and asked, "How much did it cost to buy this house and repair it?"

Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, this house is not expensive."

"If you don't say I'm not going to live, I won't be able to live."

Gu Xian stopped obeying and pushed Mrs. Gu and said, "Mom, this is what I bought to respect you with Shaozhou. Mom, don't ask so much."

Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "Axian, the plaque of Gu's house is hung on the main entrance, so this house will be passed on to Alin in the future. How can I pay for it? I will spread it to Gulin in the future?"

If it was just food, clothing and supplies, Mrs. Gu accepted it without any psychological burden. But this house was passed down as an ancestral home, so how could Chen Shaozhou pay?

"Mom, why are you so disgusted? Just think that this house was given to A Lin."

Mrs. Gu said angrily: "You send it, your money is still from Shaozhou. Okay, don't say it anymore. If you don't charge the money, I won't want this house."

Seeing this, Chen Shaozhou said: "It took 4,000 taels to buy this house, and it cost two,000 taels to repair this house."

Mrs. Gu didn't believe it at all and said, "Don't coax me, how could this house be so low?"

Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, the Xu family lost in less than two years after buying this house. Later, the two I bought failed in business and the other one died. So everyone said that the house was not feng shui, no one was willing to buy it. If you don't believe it, when you return to Pingzhou, I will show you the contract book."

Gu Xian was moved after hearing this: "Mom, there is no problem with the Feng Shui in this house, right? Let's invite the monk to do rituals and drive away evil spirits."

Mrs. Gu didn't believe this at all and said, "The house where Qingshu and Jingen live now was said to be a haunted house and would be destroyed if they live in it. However, when Jingen moved in, not only did he win the fourth company, but even Mr. Zhang and others who stayed in it, they all passed the provincial examination."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but smile: "After Jingen and several of his friends passed the Jinshi exam, some people said that this house was a Feng Shui treasure land. A wealthy businessman believed the rumors and wanted to buy it at a high price."

Gu Xian really doesn't know about this.

Chen Shaozhou actually believed this very much and said, "This house must be a Feng Shui treasure land, but ordinary people can't suppress it, but Jingen is a person with great fortune."

This was agreed by the mother and daughter.

Mrs. Gu gave the 10,000 taels of silver bill to Chen Shaozhou and said, "You can take this money first, and you can spend more money in the future. Let's save some money."

Chen Shaozhou smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about money."

Gu Xian also said, "Mom, don't worry about us. We have money in our hands, as long as we don't squander it will be enough for us to have a rich life for the rest of our lives."

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I know you have money, but one code is the same. How can I let you pay and work if I have children and grandchildren? If Alin and Qingshu know, they will be unhappy."

Chen Shaozhou couldn't do it, so he had to take the money.

The next day, the group went to visit the grave, and when they arrived on the mountain, they saw someone in front of the grave.

Gu Heping and Fugui were weeding under the tree. When they saw the group of people, they were surprised and happy: "Auntie, Axian, why are you back?"

Fugui also came up to say hello to them.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "We'll visit your uncle's grave. Peace, why did you come here so early?"

Wiping the sweat beads on his forehead, Gu Heping said, "The restaurant is nothing to do today, so I'll come up to remove the weeds."

After saying that, he stepped forward and took the incense, candle and paper money from Gai Chun, and skillfully placed the things.

After celebrating the incense, Mrs. Gu sat in the shade of the tree and rested: "Heping, I won't return to the capital when I come back this time. From now on, I will be in Taifeng County for retirement."

Gu Heping was a little surprised and asked, "Auntie, do Gu Lin and Qingshu agree?"
