Chapter 444: The Gu Family
During the Chinese New Year, the atmosphere of the Gu family was a little sluggish, and Gu You walked in from outside, and he heard a lot of whispers along the way.
He frowned slightly, and whispered to the people around him to inquire about the news.
The elder brother Gu sat together, looked at each other, and at the same time decided that this matter should be hidden from the elders of the family.
The three elder brothers of the Gu family are now old, and the brothers of the Gu family only hope that they can live longer, so naturally they will not let these gossips interfere with them.
Master Gu sighed: "With the same surname Gu, that person just thinks it is someone from our family, so he will be so calculating, but fortunately, the people of our family can finally abide by the rules in this regard." ”
Second Master Gu nodded lightly on the side, he and Master Gu retired from the army early, but Master Gu was born prematurely, his health has not been very good, and he has always served as a military advisor in the army.
Master Gu was a little older, and his body couldn't hold on, so he could only retire from the army. He later held an idle position in the government, and more than ten years ago, due to health reasons, he officially retired to recuperate at home.
Second Master Gu has never liked the military career very much, but the body of the eldest brother still has to be held in the army, so he can only grit his teeth and persevere.
He waited until Gu San, Gu Si and Gu Wu joined the army, and he saw that his younger brothers were more accustomed to life in the military camp than him, so he took the opportunity to retire from the army and transferred to serve in the military department.
A few years ago, the second master Gu retired because of the old father in the family, and now his most important focus at home is to teach the children and grandchildren in the family with his heart.
Mr. Gu and his wife only have a son and a daughter, and his eldest son Gu Youjian has liked elegant things since he was a child, and when he grew up, he still relied on the family style of taking care of the family, and he also joined the army, but he has always been in the reserve camp.
Although Gu Youjian does not have a high status in the army, he has the demeanor of an eldest brother in the family, and the younger brothers of the Gu family respect him very much.
Master Gu's only daughter married into the same military general's family, and her husband was transferred to other places a few years ago, and now he only exchanges letters.
The second master Gu and his wife had four sons, and the four sons were all in the army, but they were not in the capital, but scattered to serve in the garrisons in various places, and their wives and children naturally accompanied them.
For the sake of their sons' future, the second master Gu and his wife naturally did not say much, and besides, the old lady of the Gu family is now old, and the husband and wife only hope that the old lady can live longer.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu San have three sons and a daughter, they have known each other since childhood, they are childhood sweethearts, and the youngest son Gu Youchrome is an unexpected son.
Originally, after Gu San and his wife had two sons and a daughter, there was no news for many years, and the husband and wife thought they were old.
When Mrs. Gu San had her youngest son, Gu Youran, Mrs. Gu San thought that there was a gastrointestinal problem, and when she came to see the doctor, she knew that she was pregnant again.
However, the entire Gu family was very happy, it was really the people of the previous generation, the three brothers, each of them only had two sons, and none of them had an extra child.
Therefore, the eldest lady and brother of the Gu family are deciding on the choice of daughter-in-law, and quietly favor the woman's mother's family.
In such a situation, in Master Gu's generation, he finally broke the embarrassment of his father's birth one after another.
Master Gu Si and his wife are not weak in this regard, they have a total of three sons and one daughter.
Gu Wu's husband and wife are the same, they have three sons and one daughter, Gu You is the oldest, and the daughter is the youngest.
The health of the elder lady and brother of the Gu family has not been very good in recent years, and the family has hired a doctor to stay at home to take care of them all the year round.
Ten years ago, after the eldest lady of the Gu family left, seven years ago, the second old lady of the Gu family followed.
Originally, the third old lady of the Gu family has always been in good health, but four years ago, after she wrestled in the yard, she injured an arm, and then her body was not very good, plus a typhoid fever, people, just left.
Ten years ago, after the old lady of the Gu family was gone, the old lady of the Gu family no longer paid attention to the idle things at home, and he was addicted to Taoism wholeheartedly.
Seven years ago, after the second old lady of the Gu family was gone, the second old lady of the Gu family saw that his sons had become angry, and he also followed in the footsteps of the eldest old lady of the Gu family.
After the third old lady of the Gu family was gone, after the third old lady of the Gu family was sad, he directly moved to the courtyard of the eldest old lady of the Gu family to live.
In their later years, the three of them stayed together, and they completely let go of the affairs of the family.
Ten years have passed, and the brothers of the second master Gu are most worried about the body of the elder Gu, but in recent years, the body of the elder Gu has not been bad.
The three elder brothers of the Gu family used to take care of the side brothers, and when they arrived here, he said directly: "They are used to their own lives, let's not have nothing to do." ”
Since then, the Gu family's grandson branch has taken a lot less care of the side branches, and it is precisely because of this that after the side branches have less dependence, they have developed well, but they are always inferior to the side branches in terms of reputation.
The people of the Gu family are always willing to go on like this for generations, but everyone also understands in their hearts that it is impossible to go on like this.
The momentum of the Gu family was already in the midst of the fall, but since the war, the enthusiasm shown by the Gu family, whether it is the descendant branch or the side branch, has made the reputation of the Gu family rise again.
General Gu held the city at the border pass to the last moment, which naturally raised the reputation of the Gu family, although the Gu family was also famous outside, the difference between the two families.
But the people in the capital all remember that the side branch is also a branch from the Gu family, and the two families are still close.
General Gu also thanked the Gu family for not giving up on him when he was seriously injured, but trying to find a good doctor and good medicine to treat him.
After General Gu was seriously injured, the doctor meant that his body should recuperate.
Before the Chinese New Year, General Gu quietly came to the Gu family to talk to the three of the Gu family's eldest lady and brothers, except for the four of them, no one knew what they said that day, only that General Gu was a relaxed person.
Fifth Master Gu mentioned it to Gu Youze, and after Gu You pondered, he said, "General Gu has already thought of a way out." ”
Fifth Master Gu raised his eyes lightly and sighed: "If his body is not damaged, his current momentum can already be ranked in the court." ”
Gu You thought about it, shook his head lightly and said, "His body is almost recuperating, he can never go to court because of recuperation, but he can't keep dragging it out." ”
Fifth Master Gu looked at Gu You and asked, "Then with your understanding of him, will he take office directly after the year?" ”
Gu You shook his head lightly and said, "I don't know, anyway, I don't think he is the kind of person who covets fame." ”
