Su Yi hesitated for a moment and gave Gao Yu a polite and embarrassing smile.

Gao Yu's expression changed from expectation to deep disappointment. But soon, as if to comfort himself, he said, "I don't blame you, I owe you too much." ”

"When I was good with your mother, I never thought that I would have today. At that time, I was just hoping for a place to eat...... It's all the work of the next person, how dare you expect too much? Gao Yu sighed, as if he remembered a lot of things, and then continued after a while: "Mr. Dasu, you really treat me well. At that time, he was demoted and dismissed many family members, but he found a family for me and introduced me to Xiao Wang Du. ”

"At that time, your mother was the personal maid of the third lady, and I, with an uncertain future, did not dare to say that I wanted to take her away. How did I know she was pregnant? If you know, I have to ask Mr. Dasu to fulfill anything! ”

Su Yi was silent, he didn't know anything about what happened back then, and no one had mentioned it to him, Gao Yu said it was true or false, he had no way to judge it at all.

Gao Yu sighed: "Later, I cut off contact, and when I heard the letter again, I learned that the third lady died of illness from Xiao Wangdu. Your mother's whereabouts, but no news. ”

"It wasn't until you wrote the song "Breaking the Array" that you overheard people talking about this poem, saying that it was made by Mr. Da Su's young son, which is quite subtle in Mr. Da Su's literary style. So I inquired curiously, and learned that you were born to a maid, and after asking about the year, I knew that you must be my son. wrote to Mr. Xiao Su, and only then did he confirm what happened back then. ”

After Gao Yu finished explaining, seeing that Su Yi didn't react, he continued: "I know, I owe your mother, I owe you too much. I don't dare to ask for forgiveness, I just ask you to give me a chance to make amends. I have sent someone to Huizhou to choose a feng shui treasure to resettle your mother. invited her tablet back, and set up an ancestral hall at home. I'm going to give your mother's wife......"

"You are my only son, and everything I have is yours. If you want to be an official, I will go and ask Your Majesty to give you an official title. If you want to practice martial arts, you can go to Sanya tomorrow to take up a job, and you can choose below the five grades. If you don't want to be a writer, or a martial artist, you can do business. No matter which yamen, I also have a bit of thin noodles, and no one will dare to embarrass you. If you need anything, just say it, money, connections, I will try to help you......"

Seeing that Su Yi still didn't talk, Gao Yu was a little anxious: "When I was driving today, I heard His Majesty mention that he wanted to levy Huashigang. Yang Gonggong said that this is an errand with oil and water. Why don't I go and tell Your Majesty, can you go to the bureau and be an official? ”

Gao Yu said expectantly, hoping that Su Yi could choose one he liked from the conditions he provided. But Su Yi was still indifferent, as if nothing could impress him. Gao Yu was a little discouraged and said, "I know that in your heart, I may not be qualified to be your father. I have a bad reputation, and I have Mr. Da Su to compare ...... But I am your father after all, and you are my son. You've got to ask me to do something for you, right? What do you really want, what do you need me to do, you say, just say it! ”

"So......" Su Yi finally spoke, "Can we talk?" ”

"Absolutely!" Gao Yu was overjoyed, he was not afraid that Su Yi would open his mouth, but he was afraid that he would not speak. As long as he speaks, no matter what the requirements are, he is confident that he can do it, after all, he is now a captain, and he is one of the few people in the dynasty, and there are really not many things he can't do.

Su Yi thought for a while and said, "Let's not talk about me first, can I ask you, what do you want from me?" ”

Gao Yu smiled and said, "Child, what are you talking about?" What can I want from you? As he spoke, he smiled again and said, "Well, it's not nothing." If it's really talking, I also have a purpose, I want you to recognize me as a father! ”

"Well......" Su Yi didn't refuse directly, this matter didn't matter to him. He clearly remembered his ultimate purpose in coming to the capital, to rehabilitate the Yuanyou party and solve a piece of Su Mai's heart disease. If it was said that he could do this by recognizing his father, Su Yi would definitely do it without hesitation.

But how can things be so simple, with the mentality of giving it a try, Su Yi still said, and said: "I was raised by the Su family, and the kindness of raising has not been repaid, I ...... Can't promise you. ”

Gao Yu was stunned, his brows furrowed, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you mean, don't you plan to recognize me?" ”

Su Yi shook his head, a glimmer of hope rose in Gao Yu's heart, and said, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"Before leaving, my brother instructed me to participate in this year's system and strive for the title of Jinshi and the gold list."

Gao Yu let out a sigh of relief and said, "What should I do!" It's very simple, isn't it just that you want to be a jinshi? You don't need to take the test, I'll tell Your Majesty another day, and when the time comes, you will definitely be able to go through the motions! ”

When he said this, it could be seen that Gao Yu was confident from the inside out, and it was obvious that it was not difficult for him to go through the back door to find a jinshi for his son.

Afraid that Su Yi would not believe it, Gao Yu explained to him the cattiness here: "If it is someone else, I don't dare to pack tickets." But for you, it's really not that hard. You're not like me, a martial artist. You are really knowledgeable, I have heard of it, and the Jiangnan scribes have praised you for being quite subtle to Mr. Dasu. Even without my help, you can make a gold list. What I can help with is your identity. This is nothing, you are my son, not a descendant of Yuanyou. I want to see, who dares to make a fuss about my high-ranking son with this matter? ”

Su Yi shook his head and said, "These are not enough. ”

"What else, just say!"

"The Su family raised me, and I regarded myself as the son of the Su family. The son of the Su family, how can he not be a descendant of Yuan You? ”

"What do you mean......" Gao Yu tasted some flavor, he frowned and looked at Su Yi, and said, "You want to rehabilitate the Yuanyou party?" In order to repay the Su family's nurturing grace? ”

Su Yi nodded and said: "Just because of the old incident back then, the descendants of Yuanyou can't be officials, can't participate in the imperial examination, and can't display their talents, which is inevitably a little unkind." The Yuanyu people are certainly at fault, but what crimes did their descendants commit? Many of them weren't even born back then......"

Gao Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I understand what you mean, no need to say it again." ”

"That'...... Can you do it? ”

"I can't do it." Gao Yu didn't go around the bush with Su Yi, and said very bluntly: "Child, you think things too simply. The matter of the Yuanyou party has long been determined as an iron case and cannot be overturned. When you are the prince of the court, don't you know that the descendants of Yuan You are innocent? Even on the monument of the Yuanyou party, how many people were wronged, they are also very clear. But, that's what they want! ”

"Cai Jing, the prime minister of the dynasty, has protégés all over the world. In the past, when the Empress Dowager Xiang was there, the old party gained power, and Cai Jing was repeatedly suppressed. Now that he is the prime minister, how can he not retaliate? If it's just your business, Cai Jing will give me a face. But if you want to help all the descendants of Yuanyou, it's better to give up this idea as soon as possible. Don't say you, even if it's me, it's impossible to hit a stone with an egg. ”

Although I already had the answer in my heart, I was inevitably a little disappointed when I heard Gao Yu say it in person.

After thinking about it, Su Yi said: "When I was separated from my brother, I made a grand wish in my heart. If you can't solve this heart disease for your brother, you can repay the Su family's kindness. I can't change my surname, or I'll cut off my children. ”

"That's right?!" Gao Yu sighed and said, "Did you really make this grand wish? It's not negotiable? ”

Su Yi shook his head and said, "There's no need to discuss. ”

The father and son faced each other in silence. After a while, Gao Yu said: "In this way, I can not force you to change your surname, and you will still be called Su Yi." But you are my son, and you have to admit it. As for what you think, I won't stop you, you can try it. As long as you don't cause too much trouble, I'll help you out. When I met the official family in Qianlong, this old face was still a little thin. Cai Jing, you don't have to be too afraid, just toss it, I'll give you a cover! ”

Saying that, Gao Yu laughed and said, "No matter how bad it is, you are also the Yanei of the Taiwei Mansion." In Bianliang City, there are not many people you can't afford to mess with. ”

Su Yi didn't expect Gao Yu to be such an enlightened person, and he was a little caught off guard for a while. His original plan was that Gao Yu would be annoyed because he was unwilling to change his surname, so he used this as an excuse to leave the Taiwei Mansion and it would be over.

But in the current situation, he can't say anything about leaving.

Su Yi thought for a while, and then said, "I can promise you, but I'm short on money now and need money!" ”

"It's been ready for you for a long time!" Gao Yu clapped his hands, and a small servant came in at the door, holding a tray in his hand, and the tray was covered with a layer of cloth. Gao Yu lifted the cloth, and his eyes were shining with gold, full of trays of gold and silver.

"The sum of all this gold and silver is about three hundred pounds, and you keep it for flowers. When that's not enough, tell me again. ”

Su Yi nodded, but thought in his heart, did you let me guess again? Is Taiweifu really in an economic crisis? Isn't it so poor, just so rich?

Gao Yu saw that Su Yi was stunned, thinking that he was stupid by the three hundred guan, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about flowers, don't be reluctant to use it." The capital is not more expensive than Jiahe, and everything is more expensive. ”

Su Yi was speechless for a while, just three hundred times, how can you let me rest assured to spend it?

Although he slandered in his heart, he thanked him on his lips. It's not too early, Su Yi said goodbye and planned to go back to rest. Gao Yu didn't force him to stay, he had already arrived at home, he could see it at any time, and he couldn't lose it. Even if I want to look at my own good son all the time, it's not at the moment.

Gao Yu has his own plans, and he can't scare Su Yi away anymore. This is a good son cultivated by the Su family, and his literary talent is famous in Jiangnan, and Gao Yu secretly thinks that he has taken advantage of it. If Su Yi had followed him since he was a child, he would not have the confidence to teach his son so well.

"Son!" Seeing Su Yi walking to the door, Gao Yu suddenly stopped him. When Su Yi heard the voice, he subconsciously turned around, his action was just halfway done, and the secret path was bad, isn't this equivalent to his acquiescence?

Gao Yu laughed, came to Su Yi, did not tease him, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Don't worry about the Cui family and Gao Fushuai, you are my biological son, they can't make any waves, I will watch." ”

"Okay," Su Yi responded, saluted and retired, and under the leadership of the little guy with the tray, he walked through the complex corridor and returned to his small courtyard.
