That night, Gu Zhong seemed to have returned to many years ago, when his father was dying, and asked him to take over the Gu family's family business and make a difficult choice.

Gu Fei's words not only set off huge waves in his heart, but also made him hesitate.

It stands to reason that if a family wants to prosper, its offspring, whether male or female, as long as they are gifted, must be taught, but most daughters are not as attentive as men, and they marry their husbands and devote themselves to teaching, and once they become members of other families, which is naturally the concern of many family leaders.

This is also the reason why, even Gu Wanting, he knows that his daughter has a little bit of courage for business, but he doesn't want her to participate in the Gu family's shop.

And Gu Fei, the illegitimate daughter who returned home halfway, even if he traveled south and north and developed a pair of vicious eyes, he couldn't see through it.

Gu Fei has a plan, and her legs are wasted, but on the other hand, he also sees the value of her, and he still can't give up the value.

The two ink molds, even Feng Puyu everyone opened their mouths to praise, and since they were put in the ancient shop, these days, there are nobles who come to the door, holding the sample drawings and asking for the carving of exactly the same ink mold, and specially specifying the style of ink pills.

He can't afford to offend these nobles, and if the Gu family can break into the circle, in this Yizhou in the future, it will be just around the corner to be as famous as the Xiaomo family.

All the reasons point to Gu Fei.

Gu Zhong groaned with a worried face, returned to the peony garden, and when he entered the room, he looked up and saw Cui's gloomy face.

He didn't have the heart to coax her, but he felt more irritable, so he simply flicked his sleeves and simply went to the study.

"Husband, where is this going?" Cui's yin and yang said strangely, she raised her orchid fingers, held the tea cup, held her eyes, and took a slow sip.

Gu Zhong paused, he turned around, half of his body was hidden in the dark shadows, "Hmph, don't think that I don't know what you did during the day, it's really ignorant women and children, and I don't have any knowledge." ”

Cui's was also annoyed, and his heart suddenly felt aggrieved and resentful, only to feel that after so many years of dedication to marrying and working hard to take care of the ancient family, in the end he got such cold and hurtful words.

"Bang", she slammed the teacup on the table, and said coldly, "Okay, you Gu Zhong, why didn't you say that I was ignorant twenty years ago, how many years have passed, you think I don't have knowledge, I don't know anymore, and I'm better than you, a copper-smelling businessman." ”

These words were like a sharp knife, piercing Gu Zhong's soft underbelly with great sharpness, making him angry, "Covered in copper stench? What you eat, wear, and live in, where is not what I earned, for so many years, the family feed let you take care of it, when you were committed to marrying, I am now only you, I don't owe you at all. ”

Gu Zhong is a man, who can stand such low self-esteem, and he is most tired of being said to be coppery.

Cui Shi got up suddenly, her slender nails pinched the sleeves and rolled them, almost bleeding, she almost couldn't believe that Gu Zhong would treat her like this, and immediately yelled hysterically, "You think I want to take care of the middle feed, it's your own second brother who is not angry, and the third brother is disobedient, who is to blame, Gu Zhong, you listen well, you owe me so much, you can't pay it back." ”

Angering his family was like the last straw, overwhelming Gu Zhong's tense reason, his black beard trembled, and he pointed at Cui's trembling with one hand, "Rotten wood cannot be carved, do you know that you smeared acid vinegar and wet salt on the copper basin today, so that the blood does not melt, that girl can't admit her relatives, our Gu family will still be in such an immortal situation for a few decades." ”

Cui Shi pulled the corners of her mouth and sneered, she stood in the shadows, cold, "I didn't see that she had such a big ability, your uncle treats her better than her own father, is it a few days later, you are going to tell me that she is actually your illegitimate daughter?" ”

The words were squeezing and insulting, Gu Zhong's face turned pale with anger, and he looked at Cui Shi speechless for a long time.

Seeing Gu Zhong's expression, there was a distorted pleasure in his heart, and Cui's intensified, "You can't hide the hands and feet you have done, add alum to the water, it seems that whether she is the blood of the Gu family or not, you are ready to admit it in a daze, I didn't know that you were so kind, everyone is willing to be raised in the mansion, then tomorrow, I will let people find seventy or eighty beggars and come back to raise them and record them under the name of your ancient family tree." ”

Gu Zhong was speechless, he looked at Cui's familiar eyebrows and eyes that had been relative for twenty years, the gentle affection in the eyes of the past was gone, he felt sad in his heart, and felt a kind of depression that was not understood.

He slowly turned around, walked to the table, sorted out his thoughts, suppressed the excess emotions in his heart, and then spoke, "A few days ago, that girl carved two ink molds, not only won the appreciation of everyone in Feng Puyu, but also a lot of nobles who booked in the shop, no matter which of these people they are, offended, wave their hands, our ancient family will only wait for death." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and his eyes were as deep as ink, "It stands to reason that if a person can carve ink molds, he must also be able to make ink, and if he can get a word from everyone in Puyu, where will that girl's talent be average." ”

"I did everything possible to tie it to our ancient family, her legs were abolished, whether she can marry in this life is a problem, raising such a person, whether there is friendship or not, for that mouthful of food, she always has to vomit something out......"

"But it's good that you secretly do your hands and feet, and don't tell me, it's a big deal, I'll see how you end."

Listening to this, Cui's seemed to be drenched in cold water, and she calmed down in an instant, she thought about it repeatedly, although she felt that what Gu Zhong said made some sense, but she always felt unwilling in her heart.

She walked back and forth a few steps, "Can't you live without her Gu family?" Wanting married into the Xiaomo family, our ancient family can prosper as well, and the white-eyed wolf who came out halfway will always turn his head and bite you. ”

Gu Zhong sighed, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the fine lines on his eyebrows, and then said, "If Wanting is in good shape, this is also a method, but if you want to blame her, she is not angry, there is no man and half woman, how can she gain a foothold in the Xiaomo family?" ”

Cui Shi was speechless, she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

Husband and wife for more than 20 years, Gu Zhong didn't understand her thoughts, "Just the job of carving ink molds with that girl's hands, that is, I can't give Wanting a dowry, although I want to borrow the momentum of the Xiaomo family, but it can't compare to the stability of having something in my hand." ”

Cui Shi knew that she couldn't convince Gu Zhong, even if it was herself, her mind was shaken, she slapped the table, gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know how arrogant that girl is......"

Gu Zhong waved his hand to interrupt her, "If she really has the ability, it's nothing to be arrogant, if you don't wait to see her, it's rare." ”

The lip line was tense, and Gu Zhong thought for a moment before saying, "Today, she said that she would make a deal with me, and she would make an ink mold to make the Gu family a first-class family in Yizhou, but she wanted to participate in the Gu family's business." ”

"What, no!" Cui's face changed, her hand grabbed Gu Zhong's arm violently, and her slender nails almost pinched into Gu Zhong's flesh, "I can't promise her, the Gu family's family business will be our Min'er in the future." ”

Gu Zhong's expression changed a few times, and he patted the back of Cui's hand, "I know all this, but I have to agree to this deal!" ”

Just this sentence made Cui's liver angry, comparable to just now, she got up, her face was as calm as water, she stared at Gu Zhong, and said word by word, "Gu Zhong, do you want to let the second room climb on your head to be wild?" Even when Wanting wanted to learn to do some business, you refused with righteous words, but now you want to give away your son's things, do you still have a few of us in your eyes? ”

No matter how good Gu Zhong's temperament is, this will also be angry, and the anger he suppressed just now rushed out, he walked a few steps, and then turned around and pointed at Cui's and scolded, "This family is still surnamed Gu, I haven't died yet, and the family business is still inherited by Min'er, you have a son's thing, you are looking forward to my early death!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Gu Zhong brushed his sleeves and left angrily, ignoring Cui's slightest.

Cui Shi stood in the room in a daze, she looked at the direction Gu Zhong left, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

After a long time, she covered her chest, her eyes were red, and her face was distorted with resentment and madness, "Gu Zhong, if you make me feel bad, I will let you have a bad life!" ”
