157 Masochism
Jian's life was good, and Tang was happy for her. Although Gu Ning had two concubines around him, that was not a big deal. He usually didn't go to the two concubines. He would only go there once or twice when Jian's inconvenience, and could count them all year round with his fingers.
"When the child is grown up, he can't control it anymore. Just like Han Ge'er and Yan'er, I can't talk anymore. You can save worry and do whatever you love. Both children are good, and you will never cause any major disasters. Don't let it be worry-free. Life will be hard to suffer."
Jian nodded with a smile, "Sister-in-law is right, but what about us parents who don't worry about it? It would be great if the two of us in our family had half of the worry-free brother Han'er and Yan'er, so I won't have to worry."
Tang rolled his eyes and said, "What's the worry-free thing? You haven't seen it. How much trouble did Yue Yan'er cause to us when we just came back? If it weren't for the Emperor Shengming and Yan'er was young, what would have happened!
You said that this child didn't know how to tolerate it, and he would say something that he couldn't stand it. He had to do it even if he didn't say enough. If she hadn't been in good health at that time, she might not have caused any trouble! Her father and I almost made her angry to death, and the old man and the old lady were also angry.
Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. I don’t know why Yan'er liked the emperor and even gave him a princess. So, her fiefdom was remembered by the people there. Alas! Needless to say, the emperor scolded him and ordered us to separate the family, otherwise he would not have rushed you back."
Jian smiled and comforted, "Sister-in-law, be content. Brother Han'er is promising, Yan'er has the emperor's eyes again, and your good days are still coming."
Tang smiled and said nothing, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with happiness, which made Jian envious.
Gu Ning frowned and looked at Gu An, "Second brother, don't you calm down in Rong'an Hall?"
Gu An snorted coldly with disdain, "Hmph! What can I do if I don't want to stop? I'll hold it in my mind. Who dares to resist the emperor's order issued by the emperor himself? If the emperor hadn't taken action this time, I wouldn't have let it go easily. Third brother, you know everything about the family. If I hadn't been forced to this point by the mansion, I wouldn't have done this.
To be honest, I wanted to split up on the first day I came back, but I also knew that this was not done. My father is still there, how can we leave home if we act as sons? But..., third brother! My brother is so sad! I just want to live my own life with my wife and children, but I don’t agree there!
They make trouble every day, I am really tired and don’t want to socialize anymore. It only took me two months to calm down. I am also a human being, I have a heart, I will be sad and sad, and I will keep my relatives in my heart, but some people don’t want to!"
Gu An didn't act this time, and he also longed for family affection. Not only did he get it from his wife and children, but he also wanted to share a little love from Gu Shuyu. But after waiting for forty years, this love still didn't wait. All he could wait for was to use and abandon him.
Gu Ning lamented, his heart full of infinite sadness, and only Gu An could see and understand the pain in his eyes.
"Second brother, it would be best if I could split up the family. There are no outsiders here. I will tell the truth. Second brother, I have long wanted to split up. Without the burden of the mansion, I might be able to go further and earn a great honor for the Jian family.
I am a concubine son and I will never have any great prospects in my life. If she hadn't despised me and was willing to let go of everything and marry me without hesitation, I would not have been today. I am now both children and my family and my family is supported by her. As long as I sit firmly in this position with peace of mind, where can I find such a wife?
The elder brother has too narrow vision, is very arrogant, and has too much arrogance. However, he does not know that many powerful people in the world emerge, nor how ignorant and stupid what he does is.
I can't see through the fourth brother. On the surface, he is unintentional and always hilarious. He is a very playboy. But there are a few times when I find that he doesn't seem to be as simple as he sees on the surface. Although the slutty and plot in his eyes only flashed by, I still saw it. I remember the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes. I still shudder when I think about it, and I feel goose bumps all over my body. I don't think he is simple.
Such a waiting mansion can no longer stay at ease, and even more unable to hand over all his life and life to the mansion. If I were the only one, I could bet, and some people in this generation of gambling Wenxing could support this family. But I couldn't bear to let my family suffer with me, and I couldn't bear to let them live a worried life with me.
I don’t care about the mansion anymore. I just want to leave quickly, stay away from me and never come back here again. If I hadn’t sent a letter to my second brother and the emperor issued an order, I wouldn’t have come back no matter what I said, and I wouldn’t have planned to come back even in the New Year.”
When Gu An heard Gu Ning's words, he was slightly moved and said to himself: It's so dangerous! Fortunately, the Emperor of Gongyan issued an order to divide the family this time, otherwise even if he wrote to Gu Ning, he might not be able to make a trip. When he comes back, he will not be able to go to the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month!
Gu An sighed and patted Gu Ning on the shoulder, "You can tell me the truth that you are still thinking about the friendship between our brothers, and you haven't forgotten my second brother, third brother, and brother are also forced to helpless, there are some things..."
Gu An's eyes flashed slightly, and at this moment he forced a few tears to squeeze out.
"I won't talk about some things. Only we know what life we have lived over the years. Even if we talk to outsiders, we only get some sympathy. After that, we still call us unfilial, and we still have people to step into the mud? They have done less of what we do when we step on our shoulders?
Forget it, I won’t say it anymore, you should understand it slowly yourself. It’s better than knowing it comprehensively and thoroughly from my mouth.
We can't make decisions about the separation of the family. If we have a father, we can't speak. Even if we have a father..., we can't divide it. You have a clear idea. Don't care too much. It's not good to insist on us. If you have any difficulties, tell me that I, Gu An, have no other skills. Even if you marry your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law will be able to manage the housekeeper and earn a lot of money. Although it's not my brother, you can't let you go hungry. Your sister-in-law will not allow such a thing."
As he spoke, Gu An smiled and patted Gu Ning on the shoulder again, giving him silent comfort and assurance.
Although Gu Ning and Gu An did not have much contact, they grew up together since childhood. He knew Gu An's temperament and took great care of him over the years. Otherwise, he would not have sat in this position easily, not to mention that this time he returned to Beijing to become an official was entirely up to his second brother.
Gu Ning nodded in emotion, "Second brother, I know, you're enough. Although we are not rich, we are not as rich as we can't eat. I know."
Gu An nodded and said nothing more.
He is a good person, but he has no habit of sending money out. Although he is a younger brother, he is really not very close. But he has sent letters to Taizhou several times in recent years to ask someone to take care of him so that he can win him over when he returns to Beijing in the future. Even Gu Ning himself knows it in his heart.
Besides, his family's money is too shameful and has little use. If he really wants to give it to him, Gu An shouldn't have enough food.
The two of them stopped tacitly, and talking further downwards made them feel sad. After all, they are brothers. In the future, they must use each other to do things in the court. The right way is to be able to be in the same place.
Gu Ning and his wife stood up and said goodbye after leaving the gifts they brought from Taizhou. Gu An did not leave anyone. He agreed to get together again in the evening and sent Gu Ning and his wife out of Baifang Garden.
That night, someone from Rong'antang came and asked the owners of each courtyard to go to Rong'antang for dinner. Gu Zhehan was not at home on duty, so Gu An took Tang and Gu Yan there.
Gu An and the other two had arrived by then. Gu An was walking into the hall and felt a cold air coming towards him.
When I looked up, I saw the old Qu sitting upright in the middle of the hall. I was slightly surprised and then felt relieved.
After being detained for more than a month, it would be her that she would not be in charge of this family. Yu's scheming was not for nothing. Her housekeeper's skills were so high that Tang even looked down upon him.
Gu An and Tang narrowed their eyes and looked at each other. They both treated the past as if nothing had happened. They respectfully bowed to Gu Shuyu and Old Qu, "Hello, father and mother."
Old Qu didn't say anything, the evil spirit and coldness in his eyes were as stimulating as the substance. The hall had lost twice in vain, and even four or five braziers were placed in the hall and could not suppress them.
A trace of guilt flashed in Gu Shuyu's eyes. He opened his eyes and looked at Gu Yan. Seeing that she had not saluted, he was looking around. He nodded to Gu Xin and said hello, and then he wanted to ask a question, but he heard the old Qu on the side talk.
"Gu Yan, why don't you respect your grandmother when you see her? That's how your mother teaches you the rules?"
Gu Yan rolled her eyes. She had asked this question many times. She was lazy to answer it. She was not tired. She was so happy to be criticized by her. Is she sick? Could it be that she was masochist?
想到这里顾嫣突然又走神儿了,老屈氏不屈不挠地找她麻烦让她恍然间想起了骆荣轩,他也像老屈氏一样,被她揍的满头包照样往她这儿跑,每天都不知疲倦地挑战她的耐心,一次一次的来回下她都烦了,这样的情况在上一世不是真爱就是一种病,那就是被虐狂.
When Gu Yan looked at Old Qu again, there was something strange in her eyes, thinking that Old Qu was just a bian. At the same time, she also thought that Luo Rongxuan was like her. This conclusion made Gu Yan frown and showed an unhappy look on her face.
When Old Qu saw Gu Yan's expression, he immediately misunderstood. He thought Gu Yan was unhappy because she asked her why she didn't politely, and he felt even more unhappy.
"I'm asking you, why don't you answer?"
Gu Yan came back to her senses and looked at Old Qu with disgust, "What kind of rituals have you said? How many times have you said it? The emperor's imperial edict is clearly written, so I can't kneel down."
Let me kneel down to you? Go dreaming!
Old Qu slapped several cases hard, "Rareless, the emperor said he wouldn't let you kneel, but he didn't let you salute. You can't even salute you. Do you still have my grandmother in your eyes?"
Gu Yan curled her lips and her eyebrows frowned even more, "Do you not know what I have in my heart? You can do it even if I ask me to give a tribute. First, the national gift and then the family gift. You can't put the family gift in front of the national gift. What do you think, old lady?"
Old Qu choked and stopped talking, but the yin in his eyes continued to dissipate for a long time, and he wished he could eat Gu Yan raw.
Gu Yan ignored her, walked to Gu Xin and sat down, turned around and looked at Gu Xin and nodded, "Sister Qi."
Gu Xin's eyes shone, and the fog-like smoke-like eyeballs dyed a bright color, which was shiny and very beautiful.
"Sister Nine."
Gu Xin also nodded at Gu Yan and blinked obscurely.
Gu Yan didn't know what she meant, so she didn't ask much at this time, and the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, which was a response. Then she stopped looking at her, glanced around, and realized her mind.
Gu Huai's health was getting better and he was looking at Gu Ning proudly. Gu Feng's expression was complicated and difficult to tell, as if there was a hint of gloom in his joy, which made people unable to understand. Gu Rui did not come, and the little Qu lowered his head and greeted others with a smile. On the surface, he did a good job of martial arts. Old Qu stopped talking, staring at her with gritted teeth, and he was upset when he saw it. However, Gu Yu and the other two looked very interesting. You can think about it carefully if you have time.
Except for Gu Xin, Gu Yan ignored everyone else. Her identity was there, and she was even more afraid to argue with Old Qu, so the others dared not provoke her. They all looked down on their heads as if they were not visible.
Although Gu Shuyu was angry, he could do nothing. He knew that Gu An's family didn't like him, and no one would take anything to heart, so he didn't want to make fun of himself.
"The third brother is back. Today I have a reunion dinner. In a few days, I will call back several tribe elders who stayed in Beijing to testify. Let's divide the family. I will talk about it before. It is okay to divide the family. The big house is a legitimate branch. Of course, you must divide it more. No one of you must have any objections. As for other industries, I will do it as fair as possible. After the family is divided, you can't leave for the time being. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it's not bad. Let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."
Gu Shuyu's tone was not very good, and Gu Yan heard that he was a little sad and helpless.
Gu Yan then realized that Gu Huai was not the best candidate to inherit the title, and Gu Shuyu had no choice but to pass the title to him. Who told him to be the eldest son? Who wouldn't give it to him?
If he wants to pass on the Dingyuan Hou Mansion for a long time, the eldest son's house must take the big head, but he wants to be partial and no one can do this against his conscience. That is to push the Dingyuan Hou Mansion into the fire pit. He is not that stupid yet.
When Gu Huai heard Gu Shuyu say that most of them would be left for him, he immediately smiled. Although it just flashed by and showed a sad expression, it was still seen by everyone present.
Compared with Gu Huai's overjoyed expression, the others were much calmer.
Gu An didn't care how much he got. For him, he was the key to being able to separate the family. As long as he could separate, he would do it even if he left the house. His value was not low, and the shops and cash in his family were much more than the entire Dingyuan Hou Mansion. The things that Dingyuan Hou Mansion had nothing to do.
Gu Ning was prepared for a long time, and he knew how much he got. Now they are not satisfied with their family life. They don’t have much money in their hands, so they can still make more investments after the separation of the family. The score is too much better than the difference. The best way to be able to separate the family is.
