The girl smiled and smiled happily: "Brother Yue Cheng......" She opened her arms and was about to hug the lover in front of her, at this time, a heavy cough suddenly appeared, startling her, and she hurriedly retracted her hand, looked back at the person who came, blushed, and called softly with some embarrassment, "Old Uncle Gu......" twisted and pinched, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.

Gu Xin glanced at her, then turned his head away, no longer paying attention, just had a gloomy face, and asked Gu Yuecheng in a cold voice: "What's the matter with you, after school, why don't you know to go home early?" Did you know that there are younger siblings waiting for you at home? ”

"Uncle, I ......" Gu Yuecheng was a little embarrassed, and was about to explain, but before he could speak, a pleasant voice came from beside him—

"Old Uncle Gu, don't train Brother Yue Cheng, Brother Yue Cheng didn't mean it, it's me...... Oh no, it's my father, I recently got a few unique books from the previous dynasty, thinking that there are no readers in our family, so I thought about giving the book to Brother Yue Cheng, maybe he can use it. The girl looked up again, looked at the boy beside her again, and her delicate cheeks couldn't help but be dyed with a faint flush. The boy seemed to feel something, looked back at the girl, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then turned around, facing the elders in the family, the boy was about to say something to explain, but found that the faces of the elders on the other side were gloomy and terrible.

"Miss Chen, our Gu family is an ordinary family, and we can't afford to enjoy any peerless solitary books, your kindness, my old man understands it. The big exam is coming, and Yue Cheng still needs to prepare well, and he can't delay. Please Miss Chen don't disturb him at this time and delay his homework. Otherwise, no one can afford to miss the opportunity. After Gu Xin finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze, looked at his nephew coldly, and said two words in a deep voice, "Go home." ”

"Uncle......" Gu Yuecheng was in a hurry to explain, but unexpectedly, Chen Siwan next to him couldn't wait—

"Old Uncle Gu, don't you know, Brother Yue Cheng has already decided not to take the exam, stay here, and stay with me." Chen Siwan said, took Gu Yuecheng's arm, and looked at the old and young opposites with a smile.

"Si Wan......" Gu Yuecheng hurriedly shouted, trying to stop her from continuing. Although I thought so, I wanted to stay here and help Gu Mingqin take care of the family business, and of course, there was also the reason for this girl. Last night, I had already told my eldest sister, and it could be seen that my eldest sister did not support it. I haven't figured out how to convince her, but now that Chen Siwan has spoken out all of a sudden, there seems to be no room for maneuver. On the other side, the eldest sister looked at herself, her eyes full of shock, which made him ashamed, so he could only lower his head and dare not look at her again.

Gu Mingqin was indeed surprised, she knew that her younger brother did have such thoughts, whether it was because of his understanding of himself or because of the corruption of the imperial court. But no matter what, without consulting himself, he made such a decision to others, such a promise, did he put himself as the eldest sister in his eyes, and for him, who is the closest person?

Because Gu Xin is here, Chen Siwan is also an outsider, facing her younger brother, Gu Mingqin is not good at attacking, so she can only purse her lips, look at his eyes coldly, and silently show her dissatisfaction. On the other side, Gu Yuecheng lowered his head, and beside him, Gu Xin's cold voice sounded again—

"Miss Chen, whether to participate in the exam or not, it's not up to him Gu Yuecheng to have the final say." Gu Xin said, turned his head, and scolded his nephew again, "Go home." With that, he turned around and walked on.

"Uncle......" Gu Yuecheng hurriedly shouted, but found that Gu Mingqin's eyes were cold and had no temperature, so he had to hook his head, lower his head, and follow them slowly forward. However, Chen Siwan behind her seemed to be unrelenting—

"Brother Yue Cheng is not a child, he has his own ideas and decisions, why do you care about him? He is an independent person who can decide the rest of his life......"

"Siwan, don't talk about it......" Gu Yuecheng sank his face, frowned and looked at the girl, with a sincere expression, don't say it again, if you keep talking, the situation will get worse and worse.

But the girl didn't seem to understand his concerns, and still didn't give up: "I'm not wrong, it's just right." Old Uncle Gu, you are so old, isn't it good to stay at home and take care of your old age, you have to manage the east and the west, and you can't manage it; Besides, Brother Yue Cheng is not your grandson or son, why do you care about him, why should he listen to your ......"

"Siwan......" Gu Yuecheng hurriedly scolded, this Chen Siwan, the more she talked, the more she had no scruples.

"I'm not wrong...... Chen Siwan is still very stubborn.

"You ......" Gu Yuecheng didn't know what to say, until a cough sounded, and when he looked back, Gu Xin had already turned his head and looked at the two of them quietly, his face was as cold as ice—

"Miss Chen, you're right, Yue has grown up, not a child, he has read so many books, and he has his own ideas. As the saying goes, my son can't help my mother, I can't control him. But no matter what, he is a child of the Gu family, so he should abide by the rules of the Gu family. Unless he makes a statement, from now on, leaving the Gu family, whether he lives or dies, has nothing to do with the Gu family at all. But you ask him, does he dare, will he? After Gu Xin finished speaking, he looked at Gu Yuecheng coldly.

"I ......" Gu Yuecheng seemed to dare not face it, and lowered his head silently.

Gu Xin looked away from him, turned to Chen Siwan again, smiled and said, "Miss Chen, even if the court is corrupt and dark, making Yue Cheng desperate, whether he can take the exam or not, this is a big deal, since it is a big deal, it is not up to him to decide alone." It should be all our Gu family members who get together and discuss it well. But no matter what, you don't count. Because of you, it's not me who cares about the family. ”

After saying this, Gu Xin looked at Chen Siwan fixedly, and only after a while did he retract his gaze: "Go home." After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly stopped, looked back, and urged Gu Yuecheng sharply, "Deaf, didn't you hear what I said?" ”

Gu Yuecheng seemed to be startled, and raised his head suddenly, Gu Xin's expression was stern, so that he didn't dare to disobey. Looking back at the eldest sister again, although the elder sister was silent, her calm eyes were also full of non-refusal. Gu Yuecheng had no choice, sighed lightly, drooped his head, and went with them.

"Brother Yue Cheng......" Chen Siwan tried to chase after her, but she didn't take a few steps, but she was blocked by someone—

"Miss Chen, please stay." Gu Mingqin was very polite, "Yue Cheng went back this time to discuss things with his family. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Miss Chen to participate here......"

"You people don't know Brother Yue Cheng at all, you don't know what he's thinking, you don't know what he needs. All day long, he will use the so-called relatives and so-called elders to suppress him, so that he can't turn over, can't resist, and if he resists, he is disloyal and unfilial......" Chen Siwan couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Yuecheng.

"Suppress him, don't let him resist? Then I would like to ask Miss Chen, what do you mean by suppression? Was it just just now, my uncle told him to hurry home? Aren't we doing something wrong, shouldn't we rush home first thing after school and class? Gu Mingqin asked rhetorically, "Miss Chen, our Gu family is not as good as it was at the beginning." When his father was alive, Yue Cheng could naturally be carefree, go about his own business, and not worry about the family; But now it's not good, my father is gone, Yue Cheng is the eldest son and eldest grandson, so of course he has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters below. That's one thing, but let's talk about the exam. ”

Gu Mingqin coughed, cleared her throat, and then continued: "Although Mingqin is a woman and doesn't go out much on weekdays, she still knows a little about the situation in the world. I admit that the world is chaotic now; But no matter what, the imperial court is still there, and the imperial examination will continue. Yue Cheng has been fighting for many years, isn't it just for this day? In fact, not only him, but also our Gu family. Especially now, when my father has passed away, others are eyeing the Gu family. If at this time, Yue Cheng can win the first place in one fell swoop and win fame, and our sister and brother can also have a ...... to rely on."

"Speaking of which, it's not for your own sake, selfish." Chen Siwan glared at Gu Yuecheng and was upset.

"Yes, I inspired Yue Cheng to take the test to gain fame and glory, and it was selfish; Then he gave up the exam and chose to stay for you, isn't it also selfish? Since we are both selfish, what is the difference between the two of us? Gu Mingqin asked again. Seeing that the other party opened his mouth, he intended to speak. He waved his hand lightly, not letting her speak, but said, "Okay, Miss Chen, I'm done talking, it's time to go back." I advise you, you should go back early, the world is too chaotic, the sky is dark, and it is not safe for girls to walk alone on the street. ”

With that, he took a deep look at her, turned and left. But she didn't want to, Chen Siwan seemed to be dying, and she was still resentful towards herself—

"Sister Gu, do you think you're amazing? It's just a girl, Gu family's business, how many days can you be the master? It won't be long before you get married, and for the Gu family, you are not an outsider? ”

After hearing this, Gu Mingqin stopped, looked back at her, and said with a smile: "Miss Chen is too careful." Although the little girl has a marriage contract, but her father has just died, it is unfilial to talk about marriage at this time; What's more, the younger siblings are still young and need to be taken care of by their side, and the little girl, as the eldest sister and eldest daughter, must not leave them at this time. The little girl has already decided to stay at home for the time being and raise her younger siblings......"

"Stay at home and not get married? Do you think you have done this marriage so far? Chen Siwan suddenly asked with a sneer.

Hearing this, Gu Mingqin was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" ”

Chen Siwan didn't say anything, just sneered and turned to leave.

Seeing her go away, Gu Mingqin furrowed her brows, what did she mean by her words, could it be......

Gu Jiawei came over today and offered to sell the medical hall to the Chen family. Was this his own idea, or was someone pushing it? Just now, Chen Siwan said such words meaningfully in front of herself, does it indicate that she knows something? Gu Mingqin suddenly felt as if she had entered a trap, she felt so cold, she subconsciously wrapped her clothes, dragged her somewhat tired body, and slowly walked back.
