461, the past
Gu Qianxue also smiled wryly in her heart, yes, she seemed to be unable to get rid of the fate of being hunted and killed when she traveled to Nanyue Kingdom. When she first entered the palace, she really mistakenly thought that she would live a safe life, but now she wants to come, but it is before the storm peaceful.
"Father, don't worry, if I really get on fire, I will never implicate the Gu family." Gu Qianxue said.
Gu Shang felt ashamed in writing, "Qianxue, you misunderstood, being a father is not...not such a timid person."
Gu Qianxue laughed, "Father is naturally not a fearful person, but what I want to protect more is my mother and my unborn brother. If I can save the whole family by sacrificing myself, I don't mind sacrificing."
"Where is King Li?" Gu Shangshu suddenly asked, "What does King Li mean?"
Gu Qianxue was puzzled, "What does it matter to him?"
"Aren't you...?" Gu Shangshu was puzzled.
Gu Qianxue chuckled, "Don't look at that lunatic who completely ruined my reputation, but in fact, he and I are innocent."
Gu Shangshu was stunned for a while, but his expression became clearer, "Weifu is more sure about King Li's feelings for you."
"Ah?" Gu Qianxue didn't understand.
Gu Shangshu smiled, "Maybe I couldn't understand it as a father before, but since I have a beloved woman, I understand the way a man protects his woman."
Gu Qianxue was stunned, "You mean, King Li is treating... me?" She gestured back and forth with her fingers.
Gu Shangshu nodded, smiled without saying a word.
Gu Qianxue's face turned red, she stammered, and wanted to defend herself, but for some reason, her eloquent teeth disappeared. After a while, I thought of another topic to divert my embarrassment, "Can you answer me honestly? Why did you agree to marry your mother? After all, she is mentally retarded and obese. What did Marshal Zhao tell you?"
Gu Shangshu said, "This is a long story."
It turned out that the Gu family was not a family of high-ranking officials, the highest ancestor was only an official, even Gu Shangshu's father was also a small official.
Gu Shangshu was free and eager to learn, and unexpectedly passed the examinations for Tongsheng, Xiucai, and Juren without hindrance, and was secretly hated by the eunuch's children who were in the same batch of candidates. When he was admitted to Jinshi, he was beaten up by hooligans when he left the Gongyuan, and these hooligans were instigated by the officials' children.
You can be an official if you raise a person, but the hooligans dare not take the life of the master Juren, but they are ready to break his legs. As long as he breaks his legs, he will never be able to enter the court as an official. Those who do not have the qualifications to be officials.
Just when Gu Shangshu was in despair, he was rescued by Marshal Zhao who returned to Beijing to report on his duties.
Gu Shangshu was facing huge medical expenses and the danger of lameness. Marshal Zhao once again entered the palace and invited the best imperial physician to heal his leg with precious medicinal materials. During the recuperating period, Gu Shangshu lived in the marshal's mansion to recuperate from his illness. Therefore, Marshal Zhao had the grace to save Gu Shangshu's life.
Afterwards, Marshal Zhao sent people to find out the truth, arrested local ruffians, and tortured him to extract a confession behind his back, avenging Gu Shangshu. Although he avenged his revenge, he also offended some officials. Although Gu Shangshu was selected as a Jinshi, those officials obstructed him, and it was Marshal Zhao who managed to get a good job for Gu Shangshu.
Gu Shangshu is highly educated and young and handsome. He doesn't think that if he is seen by Zhao Shi who is still in his boudoir while he is convalescing in the Marshal's Mansion, he will not marry him.
Marshal Zhao treated Gu Shangshu this way out of his love for talent and pity for his poor family background. Before that, he had already made plans for his only daughter who was mentally handicapped, and wanted to marry her to a loyal subordinate.
At the beginning, Marshal Zhao adopted a policy of suppressing Zhao's infatuation, but the Zhao family listened to Marshal Zhao all his life, but refused to listen to Marshal Zhao for this matter alone, looking for death and life.
In the end, there was no other way, Marshal Zhao bowed his head to beg for the first time in his life, and even begged Gu Shangshu at the cost of kneeling and his wealth. Gu Shangshu, who knew how to repay his kindness, naturally didn't need Marshal Zhao to do this, and quickly agreed to the matter.
After all, Gu Shangshu had no one he liked at the time. In other words, Gu Shangshu's mind at that time was not at all above the relationship between men and women. After being bullied by the eunuchs, the young Gu Shangshu had only one thought in his mind, which was to be an official, a high-ranking official, and a high-ranking official who could never be bullied.
Gu Shangshu became famous in one fell swoop, coupled with his demeanor, he was immediately chased by ladies in the capital, including Aunt Pei Pei Yurui.
Gu Shangshu not only married the Zhao family and the Pei family, but also took in many women. As long as the women were from officials and could help them in their careers, he would never refuse them.
But when he really climbed to that position, Gu Shangshu found that he was not suitable to be an official at all. It's a pity that everything was too late, which is also the reason why he was submissive and stagnant in the later stage.
Gu Shangshu moved slowly, while Gu Qianxue listened quietly.
When Gu Shangshu finished speaking, Gu Qianxue finally understood everything. Thinking back and forth, there is only one sentence that can sum it up—that's how it is!
Everything in the world, cause and effect.
Gu Shangshu picked up the tea bowl, the tea in the bowl was already warm and cold, but he still picked it up and sipped it slowly, as if re-chewing the past.
Gu Qianxue exhaled deeply, and her mood was completely relaxed, the last trace of her disgust towards Gu Shangshu was gone. Now I can really call him my father frankly, and I no longer feel disgusted. "Just now you said that you now have a beloved woman, don't say it's my mother, I don't believe it!" She really couldn't accept Zhao's mentality.
Gu Shangshujun blushed and coughed a few times. "What's not to believe?"
"Why?" Gu Qianxue was surprised.
"This... this... is very complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a single sentence." Gu Shangshu began to feel embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Because my mother is beautiful?" Gu Qianxue also admitted that that appearance is not a living person, but a sculpture at home is also pleasing to the eye.
Gu Shangshu blushed, "No... not only because of Ruo Lanmei..."
Not only that, but part of it? Men are indeed visual animals, despise them! "Is it because the mother is about to give birth to a son?"
Gu Shangshu's face turned even redder, "No... not only because Ruo Lan gave birth to a son for me..."
In other words, having a son is also one of the factors? Men are really hateful, despise again! "Except for your appearance and your son, what else is there?"
Gu Shangshu coughed a few more times, forced himself to be calm, and then took a big gulp of tea, his complexion recovered a bit, and he said slowly. "Father, I experienced the treacherous human heart when I was young, and then I experienced luxury, vanity and luxury. When I got older, I saw through the human heart even more, only to realize that the purest woman in this world is only your mother, and there is no other person."
Gu Qianxue was taken aback.
"Is it incomprehensible?" Gu Shangshu looked at Gu Qianxue and smiled warmly, "I can see a lot in other women, either for money or for profit, but your mother is only for the love in her heart, not ?"
