The official ship walked along the ancient canal and passed Hanshan Temple all the way, and Suzhou was already in front of him.

This time, the one who came out to welcome him was increasing compared to Jinling. Gu Youde stood in front and looked into the distance.

At the beginning, he opposed the public opinion and chose to support Hou Xuanyan. Although he had made many twists and turns, he finally maintained this intimate relationship.

Now that Hou Xuanyan has been rising step by step, he has long been giving back to the Gu family in Suzhou, and their relationships are even more unbreakable.

Gu Shouye heard that Hou Xuanyan had been asking for a marriage in front of the palace and complained constantly, and was scolded by Gu Youde. In a hurry, he actually said: "You have seen that emperor with only one concubine."

As soon as these words came out, the two sons of the Gu family's inner room, Gu Shouye and Gu Chengzong, were so scared that they were out of their minds. Gu Youde knew that he had made a mistake and warned his two incompetent sons with a slight face: "Hold my mouth to keep a little bit tight. Your father has been doing business all his life, and his vision has never been wrong. This time, he bets on the glory of our family for several lifetimes. Don't let me hear the chirping views of fools again."

Thinking of this, Gu Shouye stood up straight and willingly greeted his son-in-law.

After Hou Xuanyan got off the boat, he smiled and walked forward, held Gu Youde's hand, and said, "How can Taigong come out in person? Isn't this the younger generation?"

Gu Youde laughed: "I don't know if this old bone is more tough than many strong young men. I'm happy that Wenyuan comes back to Suzhou."

Hou Xuanyan subconsciously glanced at Gu Laosan, and it was indeed worse than his father. He said, "Taigong, come to the city soon." After that, he helped Gu Youde get on the carriage and took a car to Suzhou.

After Gu Youde sat down, the carriage slowly started and held the window and said, "Wenyuan, you have suffered a great disaster, and all the elders in the family have died. I found out that there is another uncle of the Hou family, Hou Qi, who was still alive. This wedding can allow him to take charge of the overall situation."

When Hou Xuanyan heard this, he looked happy and said, "When the nest was overturned, I didn't expect that there were still relatives in the world. Where is my third uncle now?"

Hou Qi was once the third son of his grandfather, Taichang Shaoqing Hou Zhenyang. He studied the most hardest, and his brothers had a deep relationship. At that time, Hou Dong once saw that he was too hard and even advised him not to work too hard. Hou Qi once replied: "Even if I can't read, I'm afraid I will never catch up with you." Hou Dong Zeng comforted him and said: "I'm just three years older than you." Hou Qi once said: "How many years can I live in life? How can I afford to study for two or three years!" After entering the Imperial Academy, he also became more talented and famous. He took charge of the literary world with his brother, making the Hou family a prominent family in Jiangnan.

How smart Gu Youde is, he has invited Hou Qi to Suzhou for a long time, and is now in Hou’s Mansion. Hou Xuanyan was even more happy when he heard this. Gu Youde continued: "Hou Qizeng's son married the daughter of the Xia family, which is the daughter of our Suzhou prefect Xia Yunyi. You and Lao Xia are also relatives."

Hou Xuanyan put his finger on and made up. Xia Wanchun's sister married his younger brother, and it seemed that she didn't take any advantage.

Gu Youde continued: "This wedding, our Gu family has prepared for you, and you don't have to worry about anything. The princess is here, live in the Gu family first, choose a good auspicious day, and choose a date to marry."

Hou Xuanyan was grateful in his heart. He didn't expect that the old man could do this. Thinking of every bit of the past, he really felt most worry-free when doing things with Gu Youde. He only needs one look between them to know what the other person means. This is a truly smart person.

When he arrived in Suzhou City, Hou Xuanyan first arranged two maids to go to the Gu family to wait for Huang Ying'er, and then quickly walked into the Hou's mansion to meet his second uncle.

Hou Qi once brought his nephew Hou Xuanyan, and his daughter-in-law Xia Shuji's husband Hou Xuanxun, has died. Xia Wanchun's sister has been alone in the boudoir for many years. These people are all the blood relatives of Hou Xuanyan and are closest to each other. When Hou Qi once came, he cried.

Hou Xuanyan immediately knelt down and shouted: "Uncle."

Hou Qizeng hurriedly helped him up and cried, "It looks really like you. When you walk in these few steps, you look like Chu I watched my brother come home from the academy."

Hou Xuanyan stood up and said, "Uncle Tianxing was out of trouble. I was plagued by earthly affairs and didn't have time to find you. To be honest, I thought I was the only one in our Hou family."

Hou Qi once held his hand and began to introduce it. Xia Shuji bent down and raised her skirt, calling out: "Uncle."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Brother Duan and I fought side by side, but I didn't know that my brother and sister are still in the world. It's just that the Qing Dynasty was blamed for the disaster, so that our relatives could not meet each other, but it was like participating in the business."

Xia Shuji nodded and heard him talking about his younger brother. He wanted to ask about his current situation, but he was afraid that the timing was wrong.

Hou Qi once said, "Come in the room quickly. Wenyuan has worked hard all the way. Come in and take a rest first."

Hou Xuanyan hurried to the inner hall, Yang Shu stood aside and looked at him with a smile: "Big Master."

Hou Xuanyan has been fighting outside for more than half a year. Seeing his relatives again seems to be a different life. At this time, he was also showing his true feelings, saying, "Uncle Yang is not an outsider, come and sit in it." Yang Shu was not polite, and followed Hou Xuanyan to the room.

Everyone surrounded him, asking about Jing Xiang with one sentence.

The legendary story outside said that he was like a god of war reincarnation, beating the Qing soldiers all over the ground. There were even several dramas, not to mention the storyteller in the market. Those scenes made Hou Xuanyan tremble when he heard them.

Hou Xuanyan took a sip of tea and slowly started talking. His tone was plain and there were not so many legendary stories. But every battle he said was real and difficult, which made everyone amazed, especially whenever he talked about Xia Wanchun, Xia Shuji would prick up his ears and listen quietly.

As she was talking, Xiaoxiao walked out of the inner hall with a loli in her arms.

Hou Xuanyan and her were matched with each other, and Xiaoxiao was defeated, turned her head with a red face, and said, "Miss, look, my son-in-law is back."

Gu Ling'er was wearing a little red coat and had grown much taller in less than half a year. Hou Xuanyan took a look at it and saw at least one head higher than when he left.

Gu Ling'er and Hou Xuanyan got together for a long time, and they had not been separated for a long time. They had not seen each other for half a year and were so timid that they dared not speak.

Hou Xuanyan took her over with a smile and asked, "What's wrong, don't you recognize her anymore?"

Gu Ling'er's big black eyes rolled and said in a slight voice: "I still know you."

Everyone laughed together, Hou Xuanyan put him in front of him and teased him and asked, "Who am I?"

Gu Ling'er's face turned red with a rare look. She didn't know what a couple was, but she was born with her daughter's shyness.
