151: Selfishness
Xiao Yingchen smiled bitterly and continued, "I mentioned you before, and you said that you didn't want to lose her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info I'm your eldest brother, everything must be for your sake, after all, one glory and one loss. I was willing to respect your ideas before, and if you say you don't want to, I won't force you anymore. Just ......"
Xiao Yingchen paused when he said this.
There was a rare sadness in his expression, "Her body is already like this, no matter what happens in the future, you have to mourn!"
Xiao Yingchen's words seemed to be empathetic, but the viciousness in his words couldn't be hidden.
From Xiao Yingchen's point of view, he has always thought that the Gu family is a drag and a burden to Xiao Yingjing.
Not to mention that the Gu family is mercenary, just because the Gu family doesn't know how to deal with people, the Gu family is not worthy of Xiao Yingjing.
The Gu family was originally an official family, and his younger brother Xiao Yingwen, the third master, had already been in business, and now he and his younger brother Xiao Yingjing, who were born out of the family, were still struggling in their careers.
If the two of them don't support each other, then the Xiao family will definitely disappear from officialdom in the future.
How can a manly husband be stumped by the private affairs of his children.
Once you have the right, isn't it easy to want a beautiful woman?
Moreover, the current Gu family is old and decrepit, and he has lost his appearance that looked like a hollow valley orchid. Today's Gu family, just looking at her appearance, is more like Xiao Yingjing's sister, and the corners of her eyes are already covered with tiny wrinkles.
What is there to be nostalgic for such a woman?
"Xiao's body is very good!" Xiao Yingjing said calmly, "She doesn't need to worry about her big brother!"
Old Mrs. Xiao, who had never spoken, coughed softly a few times, her voice was still low, "I thought you had been out for many years, so you should be sensible." But what have you learned, fourth, and have you learned to be unfilial, and you have learned to be disobedient to your eldest brother's teachings?"
Xiao Yingjing heard this, but did not raise his head to look at Old Lady Xiao more.
"Mother!" Xiao Yingchen persuaded Mrs. Xiao, "The fourth brother is an amorous person, why should you blame him." It's just that the things that the four siblings have done over the years are really ...... Alas......"
Xiao Yingchen showed a helpless look, "Yingjing, you are still as stubborn as before." There are some things that I don't want to tell you, because I take care of your face, for fear that you will be sad. But if I have been hiding it from you, and I am afraid that you will learn the truth of the matter from other people's mouths in the future, and blame me for not reminding you as soon as possible! You have not been in the capital for the past few years, so you don't know what is happening in the capital at all...... Half a year ago, Second Mrs. Gu passed away, and she fell off a cliff and died!"
Second Mrs. Gu and Gu are sisters.
The relationship between Gu Xue and the Gu family was not good, and she insisted on marrying her husband, who was also surnamed Gu, which caused a lot of gossip.
Old Mrs. Xiao used this excuse to let him take a leave of absence from the Gu family.
Mrs. Xiao said that for the sake of money, the daughter of the Gu family can marry a husband with the same surname without shame and morality, so the Gu family is definitely not a good thing.
At that time, Gu had just become pregnant, and Mrs. Xiao's words broke Gu's heart, and Xiao Yingjing's heart gradually became cold.
He didn't understand why, in the eyes of the Xiao family, no matter what the Gu family did, it was so bad.
"Second Mrs. Gu was looking for the fourth brother and sister at that time!" Xiao Yingchen continued, "Later, Second Mrs. Gu's carriage had an accident and fell off the cliff and died. Think about it carefully, does this matter really have nothing to do with the four brothers and sisters? Why are there which homeless people appear on the always peaceful mountain road, and why are the people who die because of the Gu family, not others? Also, why do the fourth siblings go to Gusu every year, and after they go, they don't live with the third brother, and they deliberately want to go to Hanshan Temple...... You should know that the existence of Hanshan Temple is not so simple. There are often literati who linger in Gusu, and you say a woman and a group of men......"
"Enough!" Xiao Yingjing directly interrupted Xiao Yingchen's words, and he looked resentful, "Big brother, how can you insult/insult Xiao Wei like this!"
Xiao Yingchen is really vicious.
Every word he said was like a knife poking at Xiao Yingjing's heart, he slandered Gu's dealings with others in Hanshan Temple, and wanted to say that Gu's was a water-based poplar woman.
How can a person's heart be dirty like this?
Xiao Yingjing was angry, "The eldest brother keeps saying that it is good for me, so how can the Qin family be worthy of you, the head of the household." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Yingchen stood up from the stool with a serious face, "Do you think I'm the same as you?" will be nostalgic for a woman who is not of the slightest use to my career? Xiao Yingjing I am not afraid to tell you that I am different from you, if I were to choose a career and a woman, I would definitely take a break from the Qin family without hesitation. ”
He said it with confidence, as if his wife, who had spent many years with him, was like a tattered garment that could be thrown away if he wanted.
Even if the Qin family is not in a thousand ways, she can be said to be single-minded to Xiao Yingchen over the years, and there is no place to be sorry for Xiao Yingchen.
Xiao Yingjing didn't expect that his brother could say it so naturally, without showing half a look of shame at all.
In Xiao Yingchen's eyes, it seems that only power is the most important.
As for the rest, it's all secondary.
Power is like an ink poppy, which makes Xiao Yingchen addicted to it and can no longer get out.
Xiao Yingjing smiled bitterly, "I'm not as ambitious as your eldest brother, I'm just a layman, and all I want is a small family!"
In this small family, there are wives and children. Every day, they would smile at him and talk to him.
"Really?" Xiao Yingchen snorted coldly, his expression indifferent, "If you really want a small family, would you choose to join the army back then?" Xiao Yingjing, you also want power, and you also want to be a high-ranking person, can you be satisfied to be a small soldier forever?"
Xiao Yingchen believed that what he saw was that the indifference in the bones of the Xiao family was innate.
His father is no exception, and so is Xiao Yingjing.
Gu's existence will always be a stumbling block for Xiao Yingjing.
If you want to be a hero, if you want to be a person on top, then you can't have any stumbling blocks.
Life and officialdom are so cruel...... They don't have a choice.
Therefore, he doesn't mind helping Xiao Yingjing think clearly again and again, only with the right in hand, can he talk about stability in the future.
Otherwise, it will always be a waste in the eyes of others.
Xiao Yingjing smiled sarcastically, "Why did I join the army, don't the eldest brother and the old lady know best? My heart is very small, and I can only fit Xiao Wei alone in the future." So, big brother, just take care of yourself, I don't need you to worry about my affairs!" (To be continued.) )
