C88 grace
Gu Yue spat at him, "My heart aches, that's also my business. If this happens sooner or later, then the sooner I get the letter of rest, the better."
Gu Wen thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "The Senior Marquis asked you to come here, because of the cultivation of your health. If the Palace were to find out about this, how would you react? Besides, someone in the house is waiting for you to make a move. "
The Marquis' position should have been inherited by his eldest son and eldest grandson, but the eldest master of the house was not capable, and the eldest young master's health was not good, so he could not practice martial arts since he was young, not to mention going to the battlefield in the future. On the other hand, the second young master was a promising writer who had mastered all kinds of martial arts.
This way, as the only son of the Second Branch, Gu Han became the one with the highest probability of inheriting the title. This young master's talent was not bad, he was extremely talented, trained in literature, was diligent and hardworking, and had never slacked off. But who would have thought that there would suddenly be a day when he would become a silkpants that everyone was talking about, causing the expectations of Senior Marquis and Second Branch to go down the drain.
This caused the house, which had lost all hope, to be stirred once more.
I don't want to fight, I don't want to walk around the flower garden, I just want to stay here and watch over Ah Mang by myself. Isn't that supposed to be a form of physical and mental cultivation, if you really want to find out, you can find even the bones in the eggs, so what difference does it make if you don't want to do it?
"I heard that when we came out, the Great Master was planning to put the Second Young Master under the Madame's name."
If it was recorded under the title of principal wife, then this concubine would be considered as the direct descendant of the second young master, and anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell what the master was planning.
It was obvious that even if the second young master gave birth to a concubine, the concubine would still be a concubine under the concubine's name. In the future, if the concubine inherited the title of the concubine, the Madam would still be the concubine of the house of the Marquis. Even if the second young master had a disrespectful heart, he could still use his identity as the concubine to suppress the concubine.
"Whatever you want, we can do the same. Such a position, if your young master really wants something, I can earn it myself."
If he were to truly inherit the title, it would be hard to avoid being bound by it. In the future, if he were to earn a bit of merit, he would not be able to do as he pleases, and the restrictions would be much less. At that time, it would be his own business to love anyone he wished to love.
Gu Wen did not know of the thoughts running through his mind, and curled his lips to express indifference to his thoughts, "If what you say is true, then based on your reputation, who would believe that you could really earn such a great achievement? "Who would really leave the important matter of guarding the border to you?"
Furthermore, he had offended the Prince Rong and his future was bleak.
Gu Han ate a grape and casually said, "What do you know? If you don't know how to say good words, you'll just add to my trouble." Go, call Song Zhixiao here. After being here for so long, it's about time to go back and take a look. "
"You're going to have to change your mind again." Gu Wen muttered: "You only know how to be honest with others. Young Master, you have not wasted your years of studying the Military Strategy."
"F * ck off!" Gu Han's mouth was full of curses and quarrels, and he threw a bunch of grapes over. He had been hanging out in the army camp since he was twelve or thirteen years old, and later inspired to be a complete dandy.
Putting on an act in front of others was the last thing he wanted to do. His interactions with the Elementary Scholars made him feel extremely tired. He could not help but be glad that he had set up such a trap, preventing the Elementary Scholar from coming to see him again.
He also ordered some of them to be sent to each of the clan elders, and then personally sent some to Dr. Hua's residence. As for the rest, he had all the servants in the house go down the well, after all, this was not like the capital city, where all the houses had an ice cellar, and where the fruits were kept during the summer. No matter how good it was, the big families in the province did have ice, and Gu Baifu would bring it up for everyone to see.
Gu Baifu had never been able to figure out the personality of this master, and his service had always been hard on the heart. After such a long time, this young master still had to tell Gu Wenguwu what to do, and as for him, he seemed to only treat him as an ordinary butler. If this continued, Gu Baifu would not be able to continue on his journey to the capital, and he could not help but feel anxious in his heart, thinking of buying a good meal from this young master.
However, this wasn't something that could be bought easily. He had already offered up his niece, and this Third Young Master didn't even bat an eyelid as he directly kicked him out to the outer courtyard to do menial work.
It was just a grape, he could eat as much as he wanted. He really couldn't, and he had the help of the servants in the house to help him eat it. Gu Xin had never thought of wasting his time to make ice cubes.
He was not a person who was happy to enjoy his life, especially after seeing the hardships of the soldiers in the military camp.
Gu Wen held the grapes in his hand, and when he walked out of Gu Yan's courtyard, he saw Gu Baifu instructing the servants to prune the flowers and herbs.
Gu Baifu naturally saw him as well, and came over to chat with him while chuckling. Knowing that Gu Wen was going to fetch Song Zhixiao, his heart couldn't help but turn over each and every one of them.
The young master had truly raised Song Zhixiao, letting people read books, and letting people practice martial arts. It couldn't be that he wanted Song Zhixiao to become his butler in the future.
Even if he couldn't go to the capital, he wouldn't be able to keep his current position.
With that thought, he couldn't help but feel anxious, but he had no other choice. Gu Wen brought Song Zhixiao over after a while, and he was even more polite towards him, a butler, than him.
Gu Baifu looked at the two figures gloomily, sighed, and started to think about how he could keep his current position.
Song Zhixiao had stayed in this house for a month, and he had long become familiar with Gu Wenguwu and the other guards. Even Gu Xin had come into contact with him often, but he was still full of respect for the young master of the Gu family.
When Gu Wen went to call him, he didn't say anything else. He also didn't have much to ask, so he just followed Gu Wen over, and entered the room, not daring to look any further. He just stood there obediently, and answered Gu Han's question one time.
He felt that only this kind of talent was fit for a girl like Mian Niang. This also explained why Mian Niang was not completely ignorant when she spoke. It could be seen that her brother had taught her how to read and write.
However, this kind of performance couldn't be determined in such a short period of time. He still had to see whether or not it was a good performance. He really did look like a good person who could work hard once more.
After getting the two days of leave, Song Zhixiao did not even think about refusing. He had only come out for a month, and in his heart, he had always been thinking about his parents and little brother, as well as his little sister, who was already married but had never really liked by his mother-in-law, and was just about to leave. However, he was stopped by Gu Xin, who told Gu Wen to go to the accounting office and give him the monthly advance for the next month's worth of money.
Not only did he train his brother-in-law, even that brother-in-law of his hoped that he would be able to accomplish something in the future.
A poor family, where did they get such luxury from? Other than the homework left behind by their teachers, Song Zhien would usually write all his training on the ground using tree branches. Even if it was paper, it wouldn't be so expensive.
Helpless, Gu Xin insisted. Song Zhixiao couldn't reject and could only thank him repeatedly.
"What are you thanking me for? If it wasn't for that girl, how could I still be sitting here eating grapes? I'm afraid that I would have already gone to see the King of Hell's father." Gu Xin had intentionally or unintentionally excluded the Mehanlin from his relationship with the two families these past few days.
"It's such a small matter. Young master, you've said it many times already, and you've already given us the things we should have given you. How can we be so greedy?"
It was not that Song Zhixiao did not know what was good for him, but he knew that it was better to stop at what was best. Gu Yue had treated the Elementary Scholars and the lot of them well, even if they did owe him a lot, it would be over.
He couldn't bear any more of this.
"If you really care about it, then you will have a bright future. If you have a bright future, then you will be able to repay your young master. When I need you to help me, you should be able to do your best."
His words were naturally free and easy to do, causing Song Zhixiao to not know what to say. He suddenly recalled the words that he had said to him, and felt very embarrassed, his face could not help but blush a little, and he could only repeatedly nod his head: "Of course, if Young Master has any problems in the future, feel free to tell me, Song Zhixiao will definitely do anything."
There's no need to trouble yourself with being a dog or horse, just peacefully be my brother-in-law in the future, Gu Xin thought to himself. He did not show any emotions on his face, but when he saw Gu Wen coming back, he ordered the horse to be led by the horse so that Song Zhixiao could ride the horse back.
Song Zhixiao was grateful that he was pulled away in time. Otherwise, he would have to kowtow to Gu Wen.
Gu Wen sent her out the door, and turned around to return back. Gu La looked at the empty sky outside the house, and said to Gu Wen: "It's time for Glistening Fragrance to go and meet her lover."
