Chapter 383: Flaws
In the main hall that was still lively just now, only Gu Erye's family remained.
The second lady said viciously: "It's too much, it's really too much, they don't see us as a family, it's not time for Changfang to ask for the second master!" ”
"What are you proud of? Isn't it just a solution? ”
She didn't expect that her son was not even Xie Yuan.
"The second master can't go to the Hanlin Academy, I still have to think of a way, or I will go back to my parents' house to beg the uncle, and I can't let the second master stand aside when he is still in the year of ambition."
"The long room and the fourth room are colluding, I'm afraid that the second master will be proud, how can the old marquis ...... Knowing that the second master was bullied, he didn't necessarily feel very sad. ”
"Enough!"
Second Master Gu's voice was very high, and the second lady was frightened, and it was rare to see Second Master Gu angry.
She was also pampered by her uncle in her mother's family, and her grandfather was an elder.
Among the people who asked her to marry, she valued Gu Erye at a glance, although he was a concubine, but she just took a fancy to the indomitable nature of the second master.
Gu Erye once said that he had suffered the hardships and grievances of his concubines, and he would not let his children repeat his experience.
At that time, the old marquis Gu personally came to the door to ask for marriage, and said that he would leave a sum of money and connections enough for the concubine to support the portal alone.
Gu Erye was promoted in the examination, although he did not rank in the top three during the examination, he was also ranked in the upper middle on the Jinshi list at that time.
The second lady herself took a fancy to him and asked her aunt to agree to the marriage.
Although her aunt raised her, she also regarded her as her own, but in the end she was just an aunt, and she was not as opposed as her parents.
Of course, in addition to being a concubine, Gu Er Ye really can't find fault in all aspects.
The second lady's parents died early, and even if she is the granddaughter of the old man, it will be difficult to marry highly, or marry to be a famous and noble lady.
Instead of marrying an unsuccessful gentleman, it is better to marry a talented and learned concubine.
The second lady married Gu Erye as she wished.
After marriage, the two of them were released quickly, and she was in charge of her own house, so she didn't have to set rules in front of her mother-in-law, nor did she have to serve her mother-in-law.
The second lady added a son and a daughter one after another, Gu Erye never had the mind of taking a concubine, he was gentle and considerate to her, and the husband and wife rarely even blushed.
She was extremely satisfied with the man she had chosen.
Naturally, she also tried her best to take care of the housework for Gu Erye, befriended Shangguan's wife for Gu Erye, and encircled her subordinates.
When he was the prefect in Jiangnan, the second lady who was good at dancing with long sleeves helped Gu Erye a lot.
Gu Erye has a good wife and proud son, and he feels that his life is complete, at least better than Gu Siye, who is nothing.
When he felt that he could step on Gu Siye steadily, he experienced failures and setbacks again and again.
Can Gu Erye's mood be good?
He was full of depression and couldn't bear it anymore, although it was not good to be angry with his wife and children, but they had done things that made him proud?
Gu Erye first shocked his wife with indifference, and then raised his hand and gave his eldest son, the only son, a slap in the face.
"Second master."
The second lady rushed to her son's side and protected her son, "What are you doing beating him?" ”
"A loving mother is a loser! He is used to the appearance of his nests, after the township exam, how did you talk to me? I did well in the test, and I was able to win the move steadily! ”
"If I hadn't believed you, I wouldn't have been ashamed!"
The second lady's mother and son's faces were not very good-looking at the same time, even if they felt sorry for their son, the second lady couldn't help but glare at her son fiercely.
Not to mention that Second Master Gu was angry, the Second Master was embarrassed when he reported the good news, and even the Second Lady suffered a gap of ecstasy to embarrassment.
The weaker ones were stimulated to faint.
Young Master Gu shrank slightly, drooped his head listlessly, and didn't dare to say anything about his cousin Gu Yao's dirty thoughts.
Therefore, he was rectified by the crown marquis, and it became a burden on his heart that he could not overcome.
I didn't dare to confide in my parents.
Compared with the high spirits when he returned to Beijing, he looked very depressed at this time.
In this way, it aroused Gu Erye's dissatisfaction even more.
Gu Jin is elegant and calm, Gu Jue is hearty and heroic, his son can't compare to Gu Zhan's concubine!
"How did you become like this?! Look, you are not even as good as Gu Rui, who was kicked out of the house by Gu Zhan! ”
"Second Master ......"
"Is it wrong? Look at his current appearance, living is a waste of his master's silver and food, he has fallen behind Gu Jin and Gu Jue a lot, and he doesn't want to be enterprising to catch up with Gu Jin, but lets himself become more and more useless, more and more mediocre and incompetent! ”
"Father, I'm not...... It's not that I don't want to catch up, but I can't see Gu Jin's shadow anymore, how does my father want me to chase it? ”
He cried aggrievedly, covered his eyes with his hands, and moaned in pain: "I didn't lie to my father, this township exam, I am confident in high school, I have made articles, my father has also read it, don't you also say that even if I can't become Xie Yuan, my grades should be in the middle and upper, and it is not impossible to be lucky to be favored by the examiner, and it is not impossible to be among the best." ”
Second Master Gu stared at his son with his eyes, "Are you sure that the article you wrote for your master is the exam paper you did in the examination room?" ”
"How could my son lie to you about this? If you don't believe it, you can go to the Ministry of Rites to check the test papers, and if your son fools you, your son is willing to bear any punishment! ”
The second lady had a flash of inspiration and said softly: "Fourth Master Gu didn't have a good heart, and let the second master go to the Hanlin Academy through the door of Lord He, he hurt the second master's career is not enough, and he wants to ruin my son's future?" ”
"That's right, that's right, Lord He is the main examiner of this township exam, no wonder my son fell off the list, and the waste that didn't even have one-tenth of my son's learning was ranked tenth!"
The second lady left her son and grabbed Gu Erye's hand, "Does the second master still remember the imperial examination fraud case that shocked the government and the opposition when he was the first emperor?" At that time, I was still young, but I heard my grandfather and uncle say that someone had swapped the candidates' papers! ”
"Silence!"
Second Master Gu blocked the mouth of the second lady and warned: "This matter cannot be done, the master has his own plans." ”
The second lady nodded slightly, and scolded Gu Siye in her heart, and even changed her nephew's papers, do you want to be shameless?
Since Gu Siye is so capable, why don't you change someone else's test paper?
Unfortunately, the candidate was her son.
It must be that Gu Siye was afraid of coming out in the second room, so he deliberately changed his son's test papers!
The second lady pulled down Gu Erye's hand that was blocking her mouth, and said softly: "Uncle has always said that Lord He only recognizes silver and does not recognize people, two days ago I saw Gu Fourth Master go out with a gift box, and sent someone to inquire, it was for Lord He......"
Second Master Gu's brows twisted into pimples.
The second lady said slowly: "This is the second master's opportunity, does the second master want to be crushed by the four rooms for the rest of his life, Gu Siye's words today are too hurtful to the second master, you treat him as a brother, he treats you as an enemy." ”
