Chapter 6: Fire
Gu Nan drove the carriage home a little disappointed, and at this moment Gu Zhongyan had already returned from the Mo family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He sat in the hall, the erosion of the years made his face appear a few wrinkles, the wife of the third room sat in the hall, the eldest lady was relatively older, "Master, Nanzi is also confused for a while......
"Is he confused?" Gu Zhongyan's beard shook as he spoke. "If he is confused, no one in my Gu family will be smart!"
As soon as the words fell, the man next to the eldest lady couldn't sit still, the eldest young master Gu Yun.
It stands to reason that he should be the eldest son of the Gu family, but Gu Zhongyan handed over all the family affairs to the second young master Gu Nan.
Although he didn't say it, everyone had already seen the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Gu Yun, you also give me leisure, don't soak in the gambling house all day long, my Gu family's great business can withstand your toss, don't give me a bad reputation!"
"Yes, father. Gu Yun replied.
Gu Nan pushed the door and walked through the front hall of the compound, "Second Young Master." His entourage Gu Yan was standing in the center of the front hall at the moment, standing straight.
Gu Nan looked at him inexplicably, "What are you doing here?"
"Second young master, your master knows about it......" Gu Yan stammered.
Gu Nan walked straight through the wooden corridor to the hall, he took a deep breath and then pushed the door open.
"Second Young Master. Gu Yan followed closely behind him.
Sure enough, they were all waiting for him here.
The door was open, Gu Zhongyan's seat was straight, and the family was sitting in the hall at the moment.
Gu Nan walked into the hall, "Kneel!" Gu Zhongyan scolded.
"Master, Nanzi, he ......" The eldest young grandmother hurriedly stood up and played a round.
"Don't talk to anyone, you ......" he stretched out his hand and pointed at Gu Nan, "Kneel!"
The luxurious Gu family house, with some famous paintings hanging above the hall, is surrounded by antique vases and all kinds of porcelain, which can only be used by extraordinary people in today's society.
The servants have all gone down one after another at this moment, and the room is full of people from the Gu family, from Gu Zhong to the 3rd wife, from Gu Yun to the youngest sister Gu Qingxue.
"Father, second brother, he is just confused for a while, don't be angry. Gu Qingxue said.
Gu Nan glanced at Gu Qingxue, and then knelt on the ground.
Gu Zhongyan stood up and walked slowly towards him with a wooden stick in his hand.
Gu Nan lowered his head and was silent, he couldn't speak at this moment.
"I don't know you'd do something like this if someone hadn't reported it to me. Gu Zhongyan's stick rubbed on the ground. "Eloping with a dancing girl, I really think highly of you!"
Some feelings between Gu Nan and Shang Jia are well known among the big families in Pingcheng, and it is understandable that a man is willful to spend time and wine once or twice, but the matter of eloping with the intention of a dancer is absolutely unforgivable.
Gu Zhongyan had already taken precautions against this matter, and had been secretly letting his subordinates follow Gu Nan, even if he was determined to run this time, he would not be able to escape.
He was rejected by a dancing girl, so he came back in disgrace, which made Gu Zhongyan feel disgraced, and when he spread it, wouldn't his Gu family be laughed at.
"Dad, I won't marry Mo Jinlan. Gu Nan said in a low voice, but his voice was loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Miss Mo is gentle and graceful, with an excellent temperament, and the Mo family is strong, what qualifications do you have to say such things. Gu Zhongyan was a little angry. "Bastard boy, if I don't ruin your prestige today, I won't be your father!"
"Bang ......" The wooden stick in Gu Zhongyan's hand hit Gu Nan solidly.
"Second brother!" Gu Qingxue hurriedly rushed over, the third wife was originally looking like she was watching a good show, but her face changed greatly at the moment, this dead girl......
"Qingxue ......" The third wife hurriedly rushed over, and she glanced at the second wife. "Second sister, you came here to persuade!"
The second wife's face did not change, and she looked at them as if she was looking at a group of strangers, "Nanzi, you made a mistake, you should be punished!" she put the tea set in her hand on the table.
"Second sister, you ......" The third wife's eyes seemed to be shining, how could a mother be so ruthless.
"Look at ......," Gu Zhongyan said loudly. "You are all women's opinions, or the second child has eyesight!" is just and not favoritism, this is the woman he needs Gu Zhongyan.
Although there is less tenderness in the daughter's family, there is more justice and strictness of the husband.
The second wife's praise of Gu Zhongyan did not reveal arrogance, she looked at everything in front of her like a nobody. "Nanzi, since you did something wrong, you will compensate your father, and stay away from those things that are not clean in the future!"
"Shang Jia is not something that is not clean, she is different from others!" Gu Nan roared.
"Dog thing!" The wooden stick in Gu Zhongyan's hand hit down, originally towards Gu Nan, but Gu Qingxue hurriedly came over, and the stick fell directly on Gu Qingxue's back.
"Ah......" Gu Qingxue screamed.
She is usually a pampered lady, where can she stand such a slap.
"Master!" the third lady complained, she was distressed to support this daughter, and her dissatisfaction with the second room was a little more.
"Don't take it down quickly!" Gu Zhongyan threw down the wooden stick in his hand.
The third wife immediately helped Gu Qingxue to stand up. There was a hint of gloom between Gu Qingxue's eyebrows. "Father, can you spare the second brother......"
"Qingxue ......" Gu Nan watched her being helped away by the third wife.
There is almost no affection between the rooms in the famous family, and even if it is rare to get together, it is just to make face for outsiders.
The three brothers and sisters who grew up together don't have the same heart, and the only one who still has a little human touch in this family is Gu Qingxue.
With the mentality of never coming back, he and Shang Jia flew away, and the only thing he couldn't give up was this sister.
She is a daughter, and there is no threat in this family, and her background protects her from many calculations.
"This matter can't just be counted like this!" Gu Zhongyan did not relent. "Recruit the army on the tenth day of the first month of next month, you settle down and start from the bottom for me, don't be swaggering in Pingcheng and embarrass my old Gu family!"
"I'm not going. Gu Nan said coldly.
"What are you talking about?" Gu Zhongyan leaned over his ears and squatted down.
"I said, I'm not going!" Gu Nan repeated.
Gu Zhongyan grabbed his ear and it was a big ear scraper, "If you dare not go, Lao Tzu will cut you." ”
"Bastard things, you don't want to arrange family affairs, you don't take the paved road, you focus on a dancing girl, it's really my Gu Zhongyan's own son......" He had something to say.
"Nanzi, listen to your mother's words, follow your father's meaning, your father is also thinking about your future. "The second wife has spoken, Gu Zhongyan is a donkey, you just need to follow him, if you come sideways with him, his fatal temper will not toss people to death.
"Gu Nan. Gu Yun finally couldn't sit still. "Is it interesting for you to do this to your father for a dancer?" he sounded persuasive, but between the lines, he undoubtedly meant to fan the flames.
He turned the spearhead to Shang Jia again, and Gu Nan frowned slightly.
Gu Zhongyan was full of anger.
