Chapter 340: Chapter 340: What’s Wrong with the Great Pagoda Tree? Chapter 340: Chapter 340: What’s Wrong with the Great Pagoda Tree? And he particularly enjoyed playing on the Great Pagoda Tree in the main courtyard.
The tall pagoda tree still stood erect in the corner of the wall.
The massive canopy was half inside the courtyard and half outside.
Gu Zishu began his special performance once again.
It was climbing the tree!
Just as he had reached halfway, he was abruptly grabbed by Gu Qiaoqiao.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was standing under the pagoda tree.
She pointed at Gu Zishu, scolding him, “There’s a limit to how mischievous you can be, we are about to head out, and we’ve just changed into new clothes. It rained yesterday; do you want to get dirty and have to change again?”
“Sister, I won’t play anymore, I won’t, please stop nagging…” Gu Zishu quickly slithered down from the tree.
“Zishu, come here,” Gu Tianfeng called out with a frown.
Actually, in his heart, he was extremely reluctant to attend any sort of banquet.
He was just a schoolteacher, a scholar at heart, and he truly disliked all these social niceties.
But it was something that had to be done.
Thus, Gu Tianfeng was very serious today.
Old Patriarch Gu and Uncle Gu, however, were indeed extremely happy.
They had been looking forward to this day for many years.
And now, it had finally arrived.
Therefore, Old Patriarch Gu called out with a beaming smile to Zishu, “Come here to your great grandfather.”
Gu Zishu happily ran over.

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head helplessly.
Her hand brushed inadvertently across the bark of the tree and suddenly, she was startled.
A chill seemed to strike her fingertips from the base of the trunk as swiftly as lightning.
Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her fingertips pushed the chilly air back into the trunk.
Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned.
She pressed her hand against the bark of the tree again.
The chill was still there, but it was evident that Gu Qiaoqiao’s touch, filled with spiritual energy, made the chill retreat, if somewhat hesitantly.
However, it didn’t disappear; it seemed to linger within the middle of the trunk.
Suddenly a fragmented memory flashed through Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind; it seemed that there was something inside the trunk of the tree.
How could that be possible? The tree didn’t even have a hollow in it.
But Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingers couldn’t be mistaken; there was definitely something off about the Great Pagoda Tree.
Why would the Great Pagoda Tree be off?
Gu Qiaoqiao looked down; around the tree was dark soil, about five meters in diameter.
And five meters away was a fence constructed of red bricks.
Gu Qiaoqiao squatted down, frowning as she reached towards the base of the roots.
She couldn’t see anything, but perhaps her fingers could discern what was going on.
Just then, Gu Zishu suddenly exclaimed excitedly, “Sister, brother-in-law’s here!”
Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback.
She then quickly turned her head and saw a jeep just stopping outside the wide-open gate of Gu Garden.
After that, the car door opened.
A young man, dressed in a black suit, upright and luxurious with a smile in his eyes, strode confidently towards the gate of Gu Garden.
He had actually come.
And, he had changed into a suit.
Gu Qiaoqiao rarely saw him in a suit, but whenever he did wear one, nobody else could compare.
Her heart warmed at the sight; wherever Qin Yize went, it seemed as though he shone with radiance.
She scrunched up her nose but still stood up.
Meanwhile, Gu Zishu had already gone up to greet him, happily shouting, “Brother-in-law.”
Everyone was overjoyed at the arrival of Qin Yize.
After all, Gu Qiaoqiao was married now.
It was much better for a couple to attend the recognition banquet together than alone.
Old Patriarch took in his bustling appearance and nodded to himself in satisfaction.
