Chapter 59 Choice
"Jixiang'er, are you planning to come back now?"
After nearly half an hour of conversation or cross-examination, Gao Qiu changed the topic.
At this time, Gao Yu found that when he faced Gao Qiu, he seemed to have no initial nervousness. To be honest, he was very nervous at the beginning! Gao Qiu had a bad reputation outside, but after all, he was the Grand Marshal in front of the palace and a close minister of the emperor. He was in charge of the Three Divisions and held the power of life and death. Over the past ten years, he had an inexplicable majesty.
Gao Yu had never felt that kind of majesty...or it had never felt it in Gao Jie.
But after this conversation, Gao Yu felt that Gao Qiu was not scary, but more like a kind father.
He was stunned for a moment, and was a little confused.
What are your plans?
He was not very clear.
Originally, he just wanted to enjoy a leisurely yamen life.
But after talking to Gao Qiu, he found that this was not easy.
"Your eldest brother, now he is the inspector of Guizhou and the governor of Yongzhou.
His position is stable, and I don’t have to worry about it anymore... After re-exploration and grinding twice, I can find an opportunity to recall him to Bianliang and appoint him a real person; your second brother, now the Yueyang Army is a young envoy, and it will be three years since this year, and you can return to Bianliang to survey and grinding at the end of the year.
Your third brother has the brightest future. If you can pass the provincial examination, you don’t have to worry even if you fail the palace examination."
When Gao Qiu saw that Gao Yu didn't say anything, he started to speak.
"Brother, second brother, I'm all trying to get some carelessness in front of the official family.
If you want to be an official, it is a bit troublesome. After two rounds, many people have been dissatisfied with me. At least in the past three or five years, it will be difficult for you to become an official. Therefore, after receiving the news from your uncle, I have been thinking about it."
Gao Qiu called his son "Brother", which is also a very common phenomenon in this era.
Gao Yu didn't find it strange, so he nodded.
He didn't think about becoming an official, and he didn't know how to become an official.
The master said before his death that being an official is a science... He has never been exposed to it, so what ideas can he have?
"Now, you have two ways out."
Gao Qiu pondered for a moment and continued, "You are only seventeen years old this year. Although you are a little older, you still have time... I will find a Mr. Xixi for you, and you can study hard with him. After two years, I will find a way to get you into the Imperial Academy."
read?
When Gao Yu heard this, his head immediately shook like a rattle.
What kind of reading materials is he?... I still have some interest in reading Taoist scriptures, but if he asked him to read some scriptures and rely on a Jinshi, it would be better to kill him. Since he was a child, he has never read books well. What is the use now?
Not everyone can be Su Laoquan.
Anyway, Gao Yu didn't have that idea.
"If you don't want to study, you can do that.
As my father is in Bianliang, there are still some ways... Not to mention anything else, it is not difficult to find the position of a small envoy for you.
But if this is the case, we have to do it step by step.
It takes three years to survey the grinding, and another year to survey the grinding. The path your second brother chose was extremely difficult. You have to think about it before making a decision.”
"Dad, there is no third way?"
“The third way?”
Gao Qiu laughed when he heard this, and looked at Gao Yu and said, "If you are willing to come to the front office of the Palace, your father can immediately give you a position as the head of the capital. Just enter the army and you will lose your freedom and be discouraged. You should think carefully."
Join the army?
Gao Yu was very hesitant and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Dad, the child has just returned, it's still unclear what Bianliang looks like.
The child thought, first, take a look, think carefully before making a decision, I wonder if my father can agree?"
Gao Qiu was not angry, but nodded.
"What you said makes sense, so don't worry about this.
You have been away for fifteen years, and your mother is thinking about you day and night. Now that you have finally come back, you will spend more time with your mother."
Speaking of this, a smile flashed in Gao Qiu's eyes.
He looked at Gao Yu and said, "But there is one thing you have to remember.
My family, no matter what conflicts there are, is always a family. If you are wandering outside and don’t know the situation at home, I won’t blame you too much. Don’t do anything too much, otherwise I won’t spare you easily, do you understand?"
Gao Yu shivered and quickly agreed.
His intrigue with Gao Yaofu outside the mansion was in Gao Qiu's eyes, and he had nowhere to hide.
After all, Gao Yu is his youngest son, and after suffering for so many years outside, he doesn't want Gao Yu to suffer any grievances anymore. But the premise is that you can't go too far! As long as it's not too much, I won't care about the fight between you brothers.
"Are you afraid that your child will bully your third brother?"
"Hahaha, I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that you have some tricks that your third brother can't afford to eat."
Gao Qiu received a letter from Gao Jie and knew that Gao Yu was proficient in some methods of being arbitrary.
Although Gao Yaofu reads a lot, to be honest, Gao Qiu doesn't like it.
He himself was from a market and even had some other tricks. If Gao Yu was really anxious, he used the tricks to Gao Yao, but he was afraid that this young man who had been frugal since childhood would cry and shout, and he could not resist Gao Yu at all.
Gao Yu also smiled.
"Dad, don't worry, the child knows the importance of it!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The return of the fourth son of the Gao family did not alarm many people.
The reason is that Gao Qiu doesn’t want to be too ostentatious.
But he also knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden. He took his family to the North Pier of Zhoubei today and would definitely be noticed by those who are interested. Gao Qiu was not afraid of anything else, mainly because he was worried that some people would sneak and tamper with Gao Yu.
He was in the palace for eleven years, and many people were dissatisfied with him.
Not to mention anything else, I will only talk about Wang Fu, who was promoted to eight levels last year and now he is now appointed as the Young Master, is quite hostile to Gao Qiu.
Gao Yu has just returned and is not suitable for showing up in public.
According to Gao Qiu's idea, after a while, Gao Yu became familiar with the situation in Bianliang, so it would be better to officially launch it.
Before this, it is better to be careful.
So Gao Qiu didn't invite too many people to come for the dinner that day.
In addition to Gao Yu's uncle Gao Shen's family, only Lu Qi's father Lu Bing came to congratulate him.
At the dinner, Gao Yu also played a song "The River Flows East" with Su Pipa, which made Gao Qiu very happy. It was no exaggeration to say that Gao Yu's pipa was good. His praise also made Liang very happy and he couldn't stop smiling all night.
"I didn't expect that my son would be so lucky to get this 'Su Pipa'."
Gao Qiu respected Su very much. After learning that the pipa that Gao Yu used was a pipa that Su had used back then, he was very excited and wanted to take it away. However, his move was stopped by his brother Gao Shan.
"I heard that Zhongyu is now in Panyu and is a little lonely. He often recites the Bachelor's poems alone to waste time. Since this pipa is a relic of the Bachelor's, I think it is better to return the items to the original owner. After all, my second brother had received the Bachelor's favor back then."
Speaking of this, he looked at Gao Yu with deep meaning.
