"Fourth, get the hell out of here."
When Mr. Gu got angry, the fourth brother Gu Heng was also a little scared.
But he was determined not to pass, he just wanted to be a soldier.
He couldn't give up on the future that Gu Jiu gave.
Seeing that Gu Heng didn't listen to him, Master Gu was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Gu Gong, the eldest child, also jumped out, "I want to be a soldier too."
Gu Gong has a wild temper and doesn't like reading at all.
Before, he didn't think carefully about what he wanted to do. It wasn't until Gu Ting became a soldier that he vaguely knew what he wanted.
It's just that he was young and uncertain at that time. The family also refused to let him go out.
This time, he didn't want to wait any longer.
He is going to serve in the army.
He wants to serve as a soldier like Gu Ting, go into battle to kill the enemy, make great achievements in battle, and become a general.
First the fourth child, and then the eighth child, were all fooled away by Gu Jiu.
Mr. Gu was so angry that he became dizzy and almost fainted.
"You, you two are unfilial sons. I will break your legs today."
Gu Gong was bold, and shouted: "Even if my leg is broken, I will go to the army. I don't want to be someone who cares about every day."
This is a bit outrageous.
Mr. Gu has a deep cultural and military prejudice in his heart. Hearing his own son slander the sage books like this, how can he bear it. He picked up the bamboo stick and hit Gu Gong.
Gu Gong would not stand still and let Mr. Gu beat him, he ran faster than anyone else.
When he was running away, he still didn't forget to shout to Gu Jiu: "Second Sister, you must help me. Whether I can be a soldier or not depends entirely on you."
The corners of Gu Jiu's mouth twitched, Gu Gong really wanted to be beaten all day long.
Master Gu couldn't catch up with the young and strong Gu Gong. After running two laps, he was so tired that he was out of breath.
He took a few breaths, pointed at the seventh Gu Hun, "Come here. Tell Weifu, do you want to study or serve as a soldier?"
Gu Hun, the seventh child, was half-baked, and was frightened to death when Mr. Gu called him to him.
He was trembling with fear, his eyeballs rolled around, and he couldn't speak a word.
Master Gu was very dissatisfied, "Are you dumb? Ask you something!"
"Son, son..." The son talked for a long time, but he didn't say why.
Gu Jiu could tell that Gu Hun wanted to make a living, not necessarily a soldier, but he was also afraid of Master Gu. So he dare not say.
Gu Jiu said to him, "If you don't want to be a soldier, just say so."
Gu Hun said timidly, "I can't even study."
This is a typical example of writing without writing. After all, not everyone can endure the hardships of being a soldier, nor can everyone be able to hang their heads on the beam.
Studying and becoming a soldier has never been an easy road. Without great determination and perseverance, these two paths are very difficult.
However, what Gu Jiu did gave Gu Hun a third choice. He wants to do business, he wants to make money.
It's just that he didn't dare to say it, he was afraid of being beaten by Mr. Gu.
Gu Gong dared to run, but he didn't dare to run.
He is a concubine, and he angered Mr. Gu, making it difficult for him to move an inch in the mansion. Even a servant can bully him.
So he acted cowardly.
Although it looks ugly, at least you don't have to offend anyone.
Master Gu looked at him like that, didn't even bother to ask him, he was already extremely disappointed.
"Useless things, if you can't make it, you can just eat it and die." Master Gu scolded Gu Hui.
Gu Hun panicked.
Mr. Gu waved his hand, "Get out, don't be an eyesore in front of me."
Gu Hui ran away as if he had received an amnesty.
Mr. Gu was furious and in a very irritable mood.
"My father doesn't agree with them being soldiers."
He was not discussing with Gu Jiu, but a decision.
But Gu Jiu said: "Since they chose to serve as soldiers, I will try my best to help them. I also ask father not to be obsolete, and don't forget the roots of the Gu family."
Master Gu sneered, "What is the foundation, poetry, etiquette is the foundation, and reading and imperial examinations are the foundation."
"They can't read well." Gu Jiu had to remind Master Gu.
Mr. Gu has a stubborn face, "If you can't read the famous book, you have to read it."
Gu Jiu shook her head, she was speechless for the stubborn Master Gu.
She said: "It's a waste of time to continue reading. It's better to go out and give it a try while you are young, maybe you can have a future."
Mr. Gu said, "We, the Gu family, don't care about the prospect of being a soldier."
Gu Jiu laughed when he heard the words, "If one day, my brothers won titles by virtue of their military exploits, wouldn't my father care too much?"
Mr. Gu was tongue-tied, and said forcefully, "The title is not so good. Do you think that the title is an official position, and anyone can have a chance to get it? It's just a fantasy."
Gu Jiu laughed mockingly, "It turns out that my father didn't look down on the prospect of being a soldier, but just looked down on them starting from a penniless soldier and having to go through seniority.
If you think about it, how can you get ahead if you don't have ten or twenty years of qualifications? My father can understand that he doesn't like it. However, father, aren't you too utilitarian
I would rather have them dawdling in their lives than go through the qualifications. Those who don't know will think that they are not father's sons but enemies when they see them. "
"Nonsense."
Master Gu was furious, blowing his beard and staring.
If it wasn't for Gu Jiu's identity, he would have exercised his father's rights to punish Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu stood up, "Since the quarrel can't be resolved, the daughter will leave first. The father doesn't worry about the future of the Gu family, and the daughter has to make plans for the brothers. That's it, father can do it himself."
Gu Jiu wanted to leave.
Master Gu shouted: "You don't want to get your brother to serve as a soldier."
Gu Jiu doesn't care.
She wants to arrange for her natal brother to serve as a soldier, can Mr. Gu stop her
I wasted time arguing with Mr. Gu before, but I just hoped to persuade Mr. Gu to change his mind and pay attention to the education of the next generation.
Now that he finds out that he can't explain the stubborn Mr. Gu, Gu Jiu is too lazy to waste his words.
Mr. Gu held his Wen Weizun and let him go.
A concept that has been established for decades cannot be changed with a few words.
Gu Teng chased out, and Gu Heng also chased out.
Gu Heng solemnly thanked Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu waved his hand, "Fourth Brother, don't be polite to me. After the new year, you will go to the Beijing Camp to report. If you want to go to Uncle, I will find an opportunity to say hello to Uncle."
"Thank you, Second Sister."
Gu Heng knew well that Gu Jiu and Gu Teng had something else to say, so they left wisely.
Gu Cheng sighed, "It's difficult for the second sister. These things should be done by me, but I have been ignoring them."
"The sixth brother is busy studying and ignores the other brothers. I understand."
After a pause, Gu Jiu said again: "Sixth brother needs time to study, and he doesn't have time to deal with mundane affairs. Why don't you promote a few capable managers to share one or two."
Actually, Gu Jiu hoped that Gu Teng could share Master Gu's authority.
But Gu Teng wants to study and become an official, and time is limited, and Gu Teng is not around, so this matter can only be done slowly.
Gu Teng nodded, "After I go back, I will carefully look for candidates."
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Xie family, Xie Shi is working as an errand in the Beijing camp now, I don't think he can be so cheap."
"Of course we can't take advantage of him." Gu Jiu echoed softly, "But to deal with Xie Shi, ordinary methods won't work. Don't worry about this matter, Sixth Brother, leave it to me, and I will deal with him."
"Will it be too embarrassing for the second sister?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Isn't the sixth brother the one who is really in trouble? Xie Shi is your cousin."
Gu Cheng shook his head, and said firmly: "Since I learned what he and Gu Yue did, I don't have him as a cousin. I have already told your sister-in-law that all gifts sent to Xie's house will be reduced by 30%."
If it weren't for the fear of being discussed, guessed, and then suspected of Gu Yue's death, Gu Teng would have wanted to cut off contact with the Xie family directly.
He deeply believes that the most correct thing Mr. Gu has done these years is to draw a clear line with Xie's family and only maintain ordinary kinship.
In this way, Xie Shi can harm Gu Yue.
If the two families come and go frequently, the Gu family may be tricked by the Xie family.
Thinking of this, Gu Cheng couldn't help but feel scared.
The Xie family is a disaster!
This is really true.
Gu Jiu nodded, "Since Sixth Brother has made up his mind, things will be easy to handle."
Gu Teng was still a little worried, "Will it be difficult?"
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Just a thank you, just a few words."
Gu Teng breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that my eldest sister asked you for help and wanted to get Xu Sanlang back to the capital. Don't force yourself on this matter, do it if you can, it doesn't matter if you can't."
"I know, I just promise to ask for help, I'm not sure I can get my eldest brother-in-law back from the border."
"It's so good."
Gu Jiu stayed and had a light meal with the sisters.
After eating, she rested in the wing room.
Xiao Cui muttered, "Master is still angry, he is still cursing madam when he is drunk, it is really ugly."
Gu Jiu said, "Don't worry about him."
"The servant is just not angry, Madam is wholeheartedly planning for the Gu family, but the master doesn't appreciate it."
"A's honey, B's arsenic, this kind of thing is normal, don't be angry."
Gu Jiu didn't care about Master Gu's abuse at all.
Even if she scolds, she can't lose a little meat. What should be done cannot be stopped by just cursing.
Qing Zhu came in from the outside, "Qi Madam, Seventh Young Master is asking to see you."
When Gu Jiu heard this, he immediately laughed, "I was still guessing how long he was going to delay seeing me. Let him come in."
As early as in the study room of the outer courtyard, when she was arguing with Mr. Gu, she could see that the seventh Gu Hun was actually very shrewd, very tactful, and able to let go of his figure.
A person who can bend and stretch.
