Gu Jiu went to see Master Gu.
Remind Mr. Gu to fulfill his responsibilities as a father, and stop letting Aunt Bai discipline Gu Lin.
Gu Lin has reached the age of marriage, she should find a nanny for her to teach her.
Master Gu patted his head, "I was so busy that I forgot that the fifth girl's marriage has not yet been settled."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
What was too busy to forget.
Master Gu has been keeping his filial piety for the past two years, what is he busy with
He just didn't pay attention at all. He forgot that he had a daughter named Gu Lin who was five years old and not yet married.
On weekdays, Gu Lin would not go for a walk in front of Master Gu.
Throughout the year, it would be nice for the father and daughter to see each other.
Father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, Mr. Gu naturally forgot him in the backyard.
Mr. Gu continued: "Let your sister-in-law handle this matter. All the affairs of the inner courtyard are under her control."
Gu Jiu sighed, "Father should take care of it anyway. Besides the fifth younger sister Gu Lin, the fourth brother Gu Heng, and the matter of the seventh Gu Hun and the eighth Gu Gong, father should also take care of it. Gu Heng and Gu Hun Even though they are concubines, we should find a job for them and not let them sit idle all day long."
Master Gu frowned and worried, "Gu Heng looked fine before. I thought he would be successful in studying, but after taking the exam several times, he didn't even pass the exam. I don't think he is suitable for studying at all."
"If you can't study, then go join the army. I can arrange for the Beijing camp."
"Join the army?" Master Gu is very disgusted, "Gu Ting has already joined the army, Gu Heng can't join the army again. And he can't bear the hardship."
"How does father know that he can't bear this hardship? Has father asked him?"
"Don't ask, I know everything."
Gu Jiu was angry.
She said with a serious face: "Fourth brother is not famous for his studies, and he is not allowed to join the army, what does father want fourth brother to do
If you don't find a job for him while he is young, don't you want him to dawdle every day? To put it bluntly, when his father was around, he could still dawdle.
When his father was a hundred years later, he was afraid that he would have to beg for food. Gu Jiaerlang, wouldn't his father feel ashamed to be reduced to such a field? "
Mr. Gu's face was ugly, "Why is this so. Don't exaggerate, it's sensational."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "Father, I'm not discussing with you this time, but telling you that these brothers in the family must find a job for them as soon as possible. They are absolutely not allowed to continue to eat and die."
"You are simply..." Mrs. Gu wanted to reprimand Gu Jiu for being presumptuous, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that his daughter was already a prince's wife, so he quickly swallowed the word presumptuous.
"Does the father want to reprimand his daughter for being presumptuous? Then today, the daughter will be presumptuous."
Gu Jiu was not polite at all.
Seeing Mr. Gu's attitude of thinking only for herself, regardless of the life or death of her children, or the future of the whole family, she didn't intend to be polite anymore.
If the brothers and sisters are still children, Mr. Gu's attitude doesn't matter.
Children are not yet old enough to take responsibility. It doesn't matter if you let it go for a few years.
But now, even the youngest Gu Lin has reached the age of marriage, and the other brothers are even older.
Even in modern society, a young guy in his twenties should think about finding a job to support himself.
What's more, in the ancient society where precocity is common.
If Gu Jiu married an ordinary person, she would have no problem caring about the life and death of these concubine brothers and sisters.
It is enough for the Gu family to have Gu Teng and Gu Teng to support the door.
However, she is the prince's wife, she can't just watch her brother go to the road of eating and dying without asking.
She also didn't want to watch these brothers become Gu Teng, Gu Teng's burden.
I can't write two Gu characters in one stroke.
When the day comes when they are down and out, they find Gu Teng and Gu Teng, can Gu Teng and Gu Teng really ignore it at all
In this clan-based era, Gu Teng and Gu Teng couldn't do it.
Even in modern society, when relatives and friends come to you, you cannot completely shut them out. Even if you are impatient, you still have to pinch your nose and use a little energy to deal with one or two.
Gu Jiu doesn't ask these brothers to be able to do great things, but only asks that they will not hold back, and that one of them can support himself and the whole family.
So she said to Master Gu very rudely: "If a family wants to prosper and keep its descendants rich and prosperous, it depends not on the efforts of one generation, but on the efforts of generations. Efforts are not just talking about it, let alone doing it every day." Eat and wait to die, fight cocks and walk birds.
Only by practicing martial arts and joining the army, reading and writing, relying on merit, relying on money and power, relying on boldness and carefulness, and strict education of children in the family, can a family last forever.
The father ignored the children in the family, clearly intending to turn them into waste. The daughter doesn't know, they have done waste, who is good for them.
Now that the Gu family has separated, the uncle and aunt will not easily interfere with the situation of the Gu family. Fathers should take on the responsibility of upbringing, and at least give them a living. They are all your children, you can't just give them birth. "
Gu Jiu was very dissatisfied with Master Gu, and she didn't hide it at all.
He almost tore off Master Gu's face, threw it on the ground and trampled on it.
Even so, Master Gu also felt a burning pain in his cheek. It was as if he had been slapped ten or twenty times left and right, which made him stare in the eyes and turn into anger from embarrassment.
Master Gu scolded Gu Jiu angrily, "You're a married woman, so it's your turn to take care of the family affairs."
Gu Jiu put on a serious face, "My daughter really has to take care of it today. I know that my father looks down on soldiers, but father, don't forget that the Gu family got rich by military merit.
The Gu family started studying from their father. My father hoped that all the children in the family would embark on the path of studying and becoming an official. He also had to see if they were suitable for studying and whether they were the material.
Since they are not famous, they all go to the Wudang soldiers, so that they will have a future. "
Mr. Gu resisted stubbornly, "I have the final say on this family. I can't tell them to be soldiers, but I just can't."
Gu Jiu had a gloomy face, "Is father really going to delay their future for his own benefit?"
Mr. Gu asked back, "What future? Tell me, what future can you have as a soldier?"
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "It turns out that in the eyes of my father, being a soldier has no future. In the Hou's next door, the eldest grandson is also serving as a soldier. What does my father say? Martial arts are practiced throughout the Hou's house, and even several uncles wear military generals on their bodies." Title, you can go to battle to kill the enemy at any time, what does father say?"
"That's different." Master Gu argued.
Gu Jiu said coldly: "In my opinion, they are all the same. If you want to be a general, you have to start as a soldier. Come here, go and call a few young masters. I want to ask them face to face today, what do you want?" What are you doing? Is it possible that you really plan to spend your whole life waiting to die and be a waste."
Xu Yousi took the order, and hurriedly told Xiaohuangmen to invite someone.
Seeing this, Master Gu was furious, "Gu Jiu, don't go too far."
Gu Jiu said, "I'm going too far today, so what?"
"you you… "
…
"It's not good, it's not good. The second aunt got into a fight with the master."
Seeing that the opportunity was wrong, the servant hurried to report to Gu Tinghu.
Now the mansion is managed by the couple. If something happened, the servants would naturally look for the couple.
Hearing this, Gu Teng was in a state of surprise, "Why did the second aunt and grandpa quarrel with the master?"
"Second aunt wants to send some young masters to serve as soldiers, saying that they can't continue to dawdle. The master doesn't agree to let them serve as soldiers. The two of them quarreled, and the quarrel became more and more serious. Second aunt also asked someone to send them to the army. Young masters, please come out and ask about this matter face to face."
After hearing this, Mrs. Hu said: "Second aunt's plan is to really consider for the brothers. What is the reason for stopping the master?"
Gu Teng knew a little bit, "Father has always looked down on military generals. At the beginning when the third brother joined the army, there was a lot of trouble before he reluctantly agreed. Now that the second sister asks all brothers to join the military, father is naturally not happy. I just didn't expect that they There will be a row."
"Then what should we do?" Mrs. Hu was a little worried.
She has a lot of opinions about the few uncles who have nothing to do all day and use the money from the public office to spend their lives.
She agrees with Gu Jiu's point of view, how can elders keep messing around like this. Since you can't read books, martial arts is also a way out.
In the end, Mr. Gu just disagreed because of civil and military prejudice.
Simply pedantic.
She didn't believe that being a soldier and eating food was worse than dawdling.
You can still mess around now, but after a hundred years from Mr. Gu, the men are afraid that they will become beggars.
Don't think this is sensational.
How many aristocratic families, after three or two generations, some people will live in poverty, famine all day long, or brazenly beat the autumn wind everywhere.
The emperor has three poor relatives, let alone the Gu family.
Like Mr. Gu's concubine brothers, the days will get worse and worse, and they will not be able to uncover the pot at the end of the year.
Two days ago, I went to the Hou Mansion to find a big house to play the autumn wind, and got some money and food to go back to celebrate the New Year.
Speaking of which, they were all sons of the Hou family back then, but now they are living such a miserable life, which is also sad.
If they had a good business back then and worked hard, they wouldn't have fallen into such a situation.
Gu Teng said to Hu Shi, "I'll go and have a look first. You guard the backyard, don't let anyone disturb your wife."
"I know."
His wife, Mrs. Xie, was irritated by Gu Yue's death. Very grumpy now.
Mrs. Hu deliberately stopped Mrs. Xie from appearing in front of all the aunts.
Gu Teng hurried to the study in the outer courtyard, and several brothers had already arrived.
Boss Gu's face was full of majesty.
He warned his sons, "We take care of the family and study the heirlooms. If anyone can't think about serving as a soldier, I will break his leg."
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "It's the daughter's leg that father always wants to break."
Mr. Gu had a gloomy face, "I told you, it's not your turn to ask about the Gu family's housework."
Gu Jiu said: "Any seemingly insignificant matter may implicate Your Highness. As the wife of the prince, I have the responsibility to take care of these things for Your Highness. Fourth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, let me ask you, are you Do you want to continue messing around like this, or go to the Beijing camp to join the army?"
The three brothers looked at each other, very embarrassed.
On one side is the father, on the other side is the best married sister.
They are caught in the middle, no matter which side they choose, it will definitely offend the other side.
Both Lao Qi and Lao Ba are hesitating.
The fourth child made the decision first, "I want to go to the Beijing camp to serve as a soldier, so I will go to my uncle."
With my uncle taking care of me, promotion and salary increase are just for nothing.
And it is obvious that the second younger sister is more lucky, but the father is going downhill. He naturally chose the second sister.
"Bastard!" Master Gu roared angrily, "Who gave you permission to serve as a soldier? See if I don't beat you to death."
"Father, calm down." Gu Teng hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "The fourth brother wants to serve as a soldier voluntarily, so why don't father give him a chance. Maybe he can make a way out."
Master Gu's eyes were as big as copper bells, "Liu Liu, what are you so worried about? You just watched your brother go to serve as a soldier but didn't stop him. Are you afraid that someone will compete with you for the family property?"
Gu Ting looked embarrassed.
He originally had good intentions, but he didn't expect to be misinterpreted by his father as harboring evil intentions.
Gu Teng said solemnly: "My son has no such intentions. If the fourth brother can get the honor in the exam, my son will definitely stop him from becoming a soldier."
Mr. Gu was so angry that he fell backwards.
The fourth son, Gu Heng, was very smart when he was young, and he studied hard.
Lord Gu has expectations for him.
As a result, Gu Teng successfully passed the examination as a scholar, while Gu Heng took the examination several times, but he was still just a boy.
Mrs. Gu later discovered that the fourth eldest Gu Heng only knows how to study hard, and he couldn't tell it when he was a child, but when he grew up, he took the exam in the examination room and showed his true form.
Obviously, Gu Heng did not have the talent for reading. Even if he spends eight hours a day on reading, he can't read well.
The reality does not have any warmth towards the scumbags, but is full of coldness instead.
Gu Heng himself has been decadent for a year or two, and he is very disappointed in himself.
Now that Gu Jiu asked him to join the army, he felt that this was a way out. Even if he disobeys Mr. Gu, he will go.
Look at Gu Cheng and his wife, relying on Gu Jiu for the past few years, their childhood has become more and more prosperous.
He was just too slow to react until now.
So, this time, he will not miss the opportunity to rely on Gu Jiu.
