The Gu family was born in a military commander. The ancestors of the Gu family worked hard with Emperor Taizu to earn the title of Marquis of Zhongyong.

   And this title is decreasing, according to the convention, the marquis is beheaded for four generations.

  The Gu family has also declined. In order to keep the glory of the ancestors, the descendants of the ancestors, the ancestors fought hard from generation to generation.

  Gu Houye is such a successful example.

  The father of Marquis Gu was not a marquis. At that time, the title had already been reduced to a viscount, and if he was passed down as a prince, the Gu family would be expelled from the noble circle. At that time, the Gu family needed to find a way out.

   And the Gu family had only two ways to go. One was to transfer from martial arts to literature, to become an official in the imperial examinations, and from a family of honor and honor to a family of scholars.

  Unfortunately, Master Gu is not good at reading, and his two younger brothers are not talented either, so the only thing left is to fight for merit in the battlefield.

   Therefore, Marquis Gu packed up and went to the battlefield when he was sixteen years old. Later, his two younger brothers were also sent to the battlefield when they were old.

   They were lucky, they met the Tatar prisoners in their lifetimes, and they could make contributions; they were not lucky, and both of the younger brothers of Marquis Gu died on the battlefield.

   That is his younger brother. The relationship between the brothers is not very close, but they have been fighting for the honor of the family for 20 years together.

  The two younger brothers were killed in battle, and Marquis Gu was still very sad. He didn't want his descendants to experience such a life-and-death separation again.

   Therefore, after accumulating enough military exploits, he returned to Beijing to take up a post, and at the same time educated his descendants from Wu to Wenwen.

   But in the entire Gu family, there are only two families and one family who can read. Whether it is his eldest son and third son, they can't read, and even their sons have no talent in this regard.

   They can only go the martial way.

   But the world has been at peace for a long time, and the emperor has been promoting his confidants in the army. Although the Zhongyong Houfu is an honorable man, it has not much power in the army, so the road to the big room and the third room is difficult to walk.

   Lord Gu saw this long ago, so he planned to let the Gu family go on a literary path, and only 16 years ago did he make great efforts to help his second son marry Qin Wenyin.

   But he didn't expect that his second son, who became a young man, would turn a good hand into this. After the political marriage with the Qin family failed, he didn't want to pay attention to his second son, but who would let Gu Huaijin give birth.

   Of the five boys in the third generation of the Gu family, only Gu Lekang can read, and he showed his talent at the age of three, obviously inheriting Gu Huaijin's talent for reading.

   Therefore, in the grandchildren's generation, Gu Houye valued the eldest grandson Gu Lezhuang the most, but Gu Lekang was his favorite.

Because he put half of the hope of the Gu family on Gu Lekang, in order to prevent his grandson from being badly taught by his son, after Gu Lekang showed his talent for reading, he accepted Gu Xiao, joined with Gu Xiao, and gave a lot of resources and benefits, This made Gu Xiao accept Gu Lekang as a disciple.

  Gu Houye is not very knowledgeable about culture. He barely finished reading the Four Books and Five Classics when he was young. He had no problem with his own reading, but it was impossible to teach his grandson how to make art. Until now, he has not figured out how making art works.

  His son is Tanhua, but does he dare to teach his grandson to him?

Gu Xiao is known as a great Confucian, and his reputation is well-known. Many scholarly families cried and begged to teach their children to him, but the facts proved that he was indeed very good. grandson.

   And his grandson not only became more famous after his apprenticeship, but his grades also got better and better. Lord Gu has always been proud of his original decision.

   But now, Marquis Gu wants to knock himself to death, blame him, why do you believe that there is no falsehood under the famous name?

   And Gu Xiao is very personable, he never imagined that he would teach children like this for the sake of fame.

Gu Houye looked at his grandson for a long time, and after a long time he slowly let out a breath and said, "In the future, I will not bother your teacher other than to say goodbye to your teacher every Monday or Friday. The Changfeng Academy has strong teachers. They are enough to teach you, and they come to me in their spare time and serve by my side."

  Gu Lekang was still a little confused, and said blankly: "But, the teacher has something to do, and the disciple does it. How can I not go to the teacher's side..."

   Lord Gu looked at the ignorant grandson and sighed, "Son, you have to look at some things with your heart, and you can only believe half of what you see with your eyes. You go back tonight and have a good rest. Tomorrow's grandfather will take you to your teacher to apologize."

  Gu Lekang pursed his lips, but still bowed and stepped back.

He was a little unhappy. He felt that his grandfather had great prejudice against the teacher. He was thinking about how to adjust the relationship between the two elders tomorrow when he heard a "pop" in the study. came clearly.

   "Lekang is your son, is that how you taught him?"

   Seeing that Gu Huaijin's face was still blank, and Gu Houye was very heartbroken, he waved his hands a little dejectedly: "Forget it, you can go, you don't have to worry about Lekang in the future, he will be taught by me personally."

   is this expression again.

  Gu Huaijin clenched his fists. He disappointed his father so much that he didn't even want to talk to him?

  Gu Huaijin raised his head to look at his father and asked stubbornly, "Father, tell your son what I did wrong?"

Gu Houye looked at his stubborn son with blood on his chest, he laughed angrily: "Do you think Gu Xiao taught your son well? When you were in Qingxi Academy, Mr. What? Gu Xiao only cares about his own reputation, but not your son's future. I don't understand these matters in the imperial examinations, don't you understand? If I hadn't shown this test paper to my staff at home, I wouldn't know the tricks. And you, the dignified Tanhua Lang, can't even see that..."

   "This, but, Lekang is really excellent..."

   "It's very good. You're good at answering questions, but if you are an official, you can do it well if you know how to answer questions? You're still a Tanhua Lang. It's been sixteen years. Have you taken a step forward?"

   Gu Huaijin's face turned pale.

   "Why do you think you stayed at the Hanlin editor for fourteen years?"

   "Isn't it because the book in my hand is not finished yet?" Gu Huaijin said with trembling lips.

"How many books are there in the Hanlin Academy? You won't be able to finish it in ten lifetimes. Do you want to stay in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of your life to compile the first and fifth grades? I'll tell you why you can't move a step, because you quit Qin Wenyin, because you fell into a pit The Qin family!" Gu Houye didn't care whether he was hit or not, and pointed at his nose and scolded: "Do you know how many contacts the Qin family has accumulated for three generations? Just the old students of your father-in-law's generation are worth the fifth generation of a scholarly family. Accumulation, you only see the Qin family being exiled, why don't you see the background of the Qin family, and the connections that the Qin family's son-in-law will inherit after the Qin family is exiled?"

"You are a Tanhua from a family of military commanders, how hard is it for him, a scholar from a scholarly family, to suppress you? He doesn't have to do it himself, he just needs to show some sympathy with his senior brothers, his classmates, and his disciples. Your disgust, you will never be able to turn around for the rest of your life!"

   Gu Huaijin fell to the ground softly, biting his lip and asked, "Could it be that my son can only be slaughtered by him? Father, are you just watching your son being bullied like this?"

   He is a Tanhua Lang, a genius who passed the test when he was weak!

   "It's not impossible that you want to get rid of his control, but can you do it?"

  Gu Huaijin's eyes lit up with light, and he straightened his back and said, "Father, you said, even a son of a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​flames is willing to make a foray."

Gu Houye was not moved, he just looked at his son and said quietly: "One is to join the army with a pen, go to the border to join the army, and fight until there is a war. The Qin family is only famous among the civil officials and can't get involved in the army. And although my Gu family has declined in the military, I still have some connections."

  Gu Huaijin pursed his lips. He was over the age of 3 and he was a weak scholar. Did he go to the battlefield to practice swords?

   "The other is to seek expatriation. You can go wherever it is difficult. Although you will be embarrassed, as long as you make political achievements, I will be able to win the opportunity for you to be promoted."

   Gu Huaijin was excited, "Then son will go to inquire about the situation of the outsourcing tomorrow."

   Lord Gu raised his lips and said, "Don't worry, you can decide whether to go or not after thinking about it."

  Gu Huaijin had just learned the truth from his father's mouth that he was being suppressed, and urgently needed a way to show his ability, so he didn't even think about it and said, "No matter how difficult it is, my son is willing to fight, always pave the way for Lekang."

   Lord Gu curled his lips and waved him off.

   Does Gu Lekang need Gu Huaijin to pave the way?

Although Qin Xinfang is arrogant and will report, but he still has the character and will not affect the children. As long as Lekang does not provoke them, Qin Xinfang is afraid that he will turn a blind eye to Lekang, so as long as Lekang has the ability, his development will definitely be better than his father, because No one will press him.

   This is also one of the reasons why Gu Houye still insisted on letting Gu Lekang take office when Gu Huaijin was suppressed.

   taught his grandson to teach his son, Gu Houye was quite overwhelmed, and returned to the main courtyard tired.

   Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Zhao, was sitting at the table. Seeing him come in and help him get dressed, she asked in a low voice, "How's it going?"

   "Tomorrow I'll take my little three to plead guilty, and you can prepare darker clothes for me."

   Mrs. Zhao sighed and asked, "Would you like to invite another gentleman for the mistress?"

   Lord Gu shook his head, "I took him personally. He is thirteen now. I'm afraid that ordinary gentlemen can't teach him well."

   Mr. Zhao blamed himself, "It's because I didn't teach the second child well, otherwise why would you need to work so hard."

   Lord Gu patted her hand and said, "It's my fault that I didn't raise my godfather, it's my fault that the children didn't teach well..."

   His two daughters are very shrewd, not like his three sons at all. Lord Gu Hou really has no face to blame his daughter-in-law.

   "Can't you walk around for the second child? It's been fourteen years, and the Qin family's anger should be gone."

   Lord Gu smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid Qin Xinfang has forgotten his second child, but the Qin family won't let go easily."

   Mr. Zhao pursed his lips.

"That's it, Huaijin and his generation have no hope, and they can only hope that in Lezhuang and his generation, Qin Xinfang will not care about the younger generation, and will send Lekang out after he has passed the exam, as long as it is not bad. If you take the wrong step, promotion is a matter of time."

  The two of them didn't know that in another corner of the capital, their other grandson was holding a glass of wine to listen to how Shi Wei and others cheated their most precious grandson.

   Qin Xinfang doesn't care, it doesn't mean Gu Jingyun doesn't care.
