Chapter 986: Unwillingness, Sadness
"The queen mother, please be smart. We can't do this kind of thing. Gu Chengan refused.
Yun Dai smiled: "Why, you look down on businessmen?" Could it be that you have forgotten that now you have to take money from Sister Yun Wu every month? Her money is all from business. ”
Gu Chengan shook his head: "I'm not looking down on businessmen. I'm a scholar, so it's impossible to go into business. Although the emperor revoked my fame, it will ...... in the future."
"It's not up to you." Yun Dai said lightly, "The Gu family is almost out of the pot, still thinking about things so far away?" Go home and see the Divine Decree. ”
Gu Chengan was taken aback: "Holy decree? ”
"Baoxing, let's go."
Yun Dai didn't bother to explain, and left with Bao Xing and Tsing Yi.
Gu Chengan and Gu Chengning glanced at each other, and ran towards home.
Gu Hongmiao was still lying in the study like a puddle of mud.
Tian took out the holy decree.
Gu Chengan took the holy decree and read it, his expression was a little sluggish.
"Show me." Gu Chengning grabbed it and looked at it, but his eyes began to shine, "Obedient, it's amazing, it's amazing." ”
Gu Chengan glanced at him: "You seem to be quite happy." ”
"Nonsense, of course the master is happy." Gu Chengning raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what this holy decree means?" ”
"It means that our Gu family has completely cut off the road of studying for the imperial examination from now on!" Gu Chengan said, a sadness spread from the bottom of his heart, "Although our family is not a high-ranking family, our ancestors have also made meritorious deeds. Now that he has fallen into this generation, he has even lost the name of a scholarly family and has become a businessman. ”
He felt uncomfortable and depressed.
To be honest, for the Gu family, they would rather be poor and hungry, and they also want to keep the name of the scholarly family, at least in terms of face and reputation, I don't know how many times higher than those businessmen.
But what can be done?
The Gu family has fallen to this point, and it is also self-inflicted.
He looked at the decree and felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.
Gu Chengning saw him like this, so he snorted and said, "Are you reluctant, are you willing to be collected for debts, chopped off your fingers, and beaten on the street?" Without this holy decree, a month later, the Gu family's house would not be able to be saved. ”
"What debt?" Tian listened and asked.
"Sister-in-law still doesn't know?" Gu Chengning said.
Tian looked at her husband.
Gu Chengan was ashamed.
He earns too little as a teacher, far from enough to pay for it, so he has to borrow money. The addiction to cold food is almost fatal.
He was also helpless.
Every time he did this, he became more and more resentful of Gu Yunxiang.
If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have become like this.
"Ugh." He sighed.
Tian's face was full of sorrow: "Xianggong, I can't care about those things outside, but this holy decree ...... You're going to take it, right? Our family is already like this, but we can't stand it anymore. Moreover, disobedience to the divine decree is death. ”
Gu Chengan was silent.
He began to read at the age of five, and for more than ten years, the sage books have already been deeply rooted in his blood.
Let him completely abandon this identity and turn to be a lowly businessman, he is really ...... I'm not reconciled.
Gu Chengning rolled up the holy decree and said, "I think it's good." The emperor decreed that he should do business, this is the imperial business, and no matter what business we do in the future, we will be protected by the emperor's order. Still afraid that you won't be able to make money? ”
"Bastard thing!"
Gu Hongmiao leaned against the door frame, pointed at him weakly, and scolded angrily, "We are a scholarly family, you actually want to do the lowly thing of that businessman!" I'll beat you to death! WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
