Zhen Guogong has been slowly protecting the fragile and shy Liniang.
This realization was enough to make Gu Mingzhu feel pleased, and she turned around to discuss with Gu Ruyi again.
The two sisters talked in the house for a long time, and Gu Mingzhu was sent out by Gu Ruyi with a medicine bottle in her arms.
*****
When the Xiao family returned to her parents' house, the Xiao family had always been very cautious about her, and every time they would let the people in the house kneel down to greet her.
No matter which master of the Xiao family has to rush over.
The Xiao family's status in the Xiao family is like that of the empress.
She said yes, even if she is the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao's father is a little respectful in front of Xiao.
After all, without the Xiao family, there would be no Xiao family today.
Even Xiao Shi, who was already a palace concubine and gave birth to a raised third prince, could not compare with Xiao Shi, who was just the Duchess of Zhenguo.
"Daughter, why did you suddenly come back today? Is there something to do? Several of your brothers are willing to help you, but they can't, and your nephew. β
Old Man Xiao was a little nervous, looking at his daughter sitting on the main seat, "I heard that Gu Yuan has been in the limelight recently, so I don't need to make people ......."
Xiao Shi said with a cold face: "If you don't make trouble for me, I'll be thankful, I don't dare to count on you anymore, let you do things, which one hasn't gone wrong?" I've got to go to the trouble of wiping your butts. β
The anger accumulated on the Zhenguo Mansion was completely vented by the Xiao family:
"Every time you ask for money, you think of me! I won't give any more money this time, and you won't have to mention it again. β
"But...... But how can you build momentum without money? β
Xiao's eldest brother was born with a dignified appearance, a handsome face, and although his body was slightly fat, he had an elegant temperament, and he looked like a learned and talented gentleman.
His name is Lin, and they have all committed wooden characters in their lifetime.
Xiao Shi knew that the eldest brother was a typical embroidered pillow, with a bright surface and no half ability, but with his good looks, he could fool some people.
Xiao Lin will pretend again, and he is also one of the four gentlemen in the capital.
"Last time, Gu Yuan took away the silver placed in the Yuhang Mansion, causing Jiangnan Academy to come with several letters to ask for silver, at the beginning, since you promised to sponsor the poor students, at this time, you suddenly stopped giving the silver to the poor students, I am afraid that it is indispensable to discuss."
Xiao Lin's eyes were a little sad, without silver, how could his reputation as a gentleman be maintained?
Recently, he doesn't dare to go in and out of high-end restaurants often.
"In addition, the scattered wealth casino was burned down, and the emperor did not allow the scattered wealth casino to open again, so we have lost another important entry. The matter of Jiangnan Academy is imminent, if the silver is broken, although Jiangnan is far away, there will always be a rumor that will enter the capital one day, and it will also have a little impact on your sister at that time. β
wants money, asks for money, as long as she returns to the Xiao family, her mother's family will inevitably care about her asking for money.
"You and I seem to be Gu Yuan's daughter-in-law? How can you not spend all the money? β
Xiao Shi regretted a little after she exited, it turned out that she was also envious of Gu Yuan's daughter-in-law in her heart.
It is not necessary to be happy if you have money, but it is not necessarily unfortunate to have no money.
"The money of Jiangnan Academy, I will try my best to transfer it."
Xiao Shi knows the importance of sponsoring poor students is very important to her future layout in the imperial court.
Even if the students can't get into the Jinshi, they can still be allowed to do hard work to repay the money at that time.
As long as a few of them can succeed in the imperial examination, with her support, it will be enough to deal with Gu Yuan.
And a few years ago, she invested a lot of money and gained a good reputation, but at this time, she suddenly broke off, which will definitely cause a lot of criticism.
Even the money that had been put in before was lost.
Does Gu Yuan's daughter-in-law also have her silver to show off her wealth?
Xiao's chest hurt very much, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't need you to send it to Jiangnan Academy this time, I will send someone to make a special trip, and by the way, I will also see how many of the poor students I funded can become talents, if it is really a person who can't support the wall, it is not worthy of me to waste any more money." β
In the past, she could cast a wide net, but now she is short of money, so she naturally has to choose a good training target.
Xiao Lin said disappointedly: "My sister doesn't believe me? I think I'm a good learner, I can help my sister see the students of Jiangnan Academy, I'm more trustworthy than a slave. β
"Wrong, I'd rather trust the minions around me than you!"
Xiao didn't have much trust in his eldest brother, who was not a fellow mother:
"How did you get your reputation as a gentleman? I don't need me to say it clearly, I used to turn a blind eye and let you share the benefits, just because you are my brother, and you used to do things for me quite dedicatedly, but now I can't make half a mistake, so I naturally want to choose someone who is more loyal to me. β
"Father, look at my sister......"
Xiao Lin immediately complained to Old Man Xiao, but Old Man Xiao pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he was asleep in a chair, completely ignoring the quarrel of his children.
Xiao Shi hooked the corners of his mouth, "I advise my eldest brother to go out less recently to socialize, in case Gu Yuan catches the handle, don't come to me to cry and complain." Gu Yuan...... His talent is that you can't catch up with him no matter how hard you study for two lifetimes, you'd better stay away from him, don't be a stepping stone to make Gu Yuan famous. β
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Lin was even more resentful, "A sour Confucian from the countryside, sister, you really think highly of him." β
He also heard that Gu Yuan's daughter-in-law threw the silver out of the money, and the poor sour changed it to sour Confucianism.
"If you want me to look up to me, and think that I regret the contempt for you today, you can also participate in the imperial examination and compete with Gu Yuan in the scientific examination."
Xiao Shi glanced at the Xiao family's disciples, "You can all participate in the imperial examination, whoever can hold Gu Yuan down, I will make him the next sect master of the Xiao family." β
Except for Xiao Lin, who regarded himself as the eldest son, who was dissatisfied, the rest of the Xiao family's children were excited.
Old Man Xiao opened his eyes again, and just wanted to object, but his scalp was numb at the sight of Xiao's cold gaze.
That's it, that's it, he's just the puppet patriarch of the Xiao family.
As long as the Xiao family does not fall, the successor to the Xiao family will still be surnamed Xiao.
Old Man Xiao was silent, and the children of the Xiao family were even more fiery.
They were provoked by the Shaw Clan.
"Big brother doesn't have to be unconvinced, I'm waiting for my eldest brother to embarrass me with the good news of high school, as long as my eldest brother can be among the top ones, I am willing to admit in front of many children of the Xiao family that I misjudged my eldest brother!"
Although the Xiao family instigated the ambitions of the children of the Xiao family, only Xiao Lin had the possibility of high school among the children of the Xiao family.
The rest of them are not even as good as Xiao Lin!
The days of comfort and wealth have been too long, the children of the Xiao family have fallen, when the Xiao family was young, they could still see the clansmen studying seriously, and now many of them can't even distinguish the four books and the five classics!
The Xiao family has the heart to completely rectify the Xiao family, remove the rotten branches and leaves, and must not let the Xiao family become a loophole for Gu Yuan to attack her again.
If Xiao Lin is willing to work hard, with the help of the three princes, the Xiao family can also help him, but everything depends on whether Xiao Lin can figure it out!
Hopefully, her agitation today will be effective.
