In the past few years, Old Man Gu's health has been good and bad, which has made the Gu family hang a heart, and Gu You's life is the saddest. Shangfeng knew his situation, but he didn't dare to use it deeply; His subordinates know his state, and he is always a little unable to do things. Favoring Gu You, he can't really resign, because he is the only person in the Gu family's room.

Gu Yao looked at his father's white temples, and his eyes were distressed. She went through a bunch of things about the Gu family in her heart, and found that the only thing she could help was Gu Qingshang's marriage, so she said, "My daughter recently gave Zheng Congxiang a daughter-in-law, and I met a cute little girl, so I told her to Brother Shang, okay?" ”

Gu You waved his hand again and again, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to find Brother Shang." Always let him pick one he likes, so as to save a bunch of people, and there is no one to talk to. ”

Gu Yao almost cried when he heard this.

As the saying goes, marry a wife and marry a virtuous person, and take a concubine. Concubines are to please men. Before and after, there are three aunts in Gu You's house, two of whom are still characters, who seem to be very happy, but in fact......

Gu Yao's biological mother, Aunt Shen, will not talk about how to abandon her husband and daughter; That Shang Ge'er's biological mother, Aunt Qin, when King Zhao was defeated, a white silk solved her life, leaving Shang Ge'er to live a difficult life. The concubine who has always been divided into concubines is Aunt Zhou, the biological mother of the fourth girl, Gu Ying. Being the aunt of the Gu family is Aunt Zhou's dream. Aunt Zhou, who dreams so simply, how can she get into Gu You's eyes?

For Gu You, there are not many women, and one is enough. I can't ask for it, but it is a state of life, a state that Gu You is accustomed to. Therefore, this time, he was really moved and decided to resign.

"Your eldest brother has worked hard for so many years, I see it in my eyes. After Shuntianfu became a Jingshi, it was really not suitable for him to study. As for me, I'm going to let him go back to Taikang to be a farmer for a few years, read a few days with peace of mind, and then take the exam. As for your second brother, your second sister-in-law dragged her back, and I blamed me for not stopping it in the first place. ”

Gu You only stopped the eldest son's family affairs, so that the eldest son avoided the fate of marrying the daughter of the Li family. As a result, the second son grew up in the Li family since he was a child, and he got the blue eyes of the Li family, so he just stuffed another Li girl over. This time, Gu Li's family, relying on the mother-in-law on the upper two floors is the Li family, does not take the eldest sister-in-law in his eyes, does not serve his in-laws, does not give birth to a son, and stops Gu Jun from taking a concubine.

"Hey......"

With a long sigh, Gu You looked at Gu Yao steadily, and said again, "I'm going to resign and return to my hometown." ”

Gu Yao didn't object, only one thing, "Dad is back for me again, right?" ”

How could Gu You admit it? smiled and said, "No, it's because my father is tired, and I want to make your eldest brother and sister-in-law lighter." ”

Gu Yao didn't believe it very much.

There may be all these reasons, but she still thinks that Lu Cheng's recent strength is also the reason why her father retreats. His own father left the capital, and Lu Qu, the "father-in-law", could defend Gu Yao more openly. Gu You gritted his teeth and refused to admit this, and Gu Yao couldn't take him. After talking to Gu You for a long time, Gu Yao left the Gu family in the urging process.

Seeing Gu Yao's carriage leave, Gu You wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without a trace.

No matter how secretive he is, he can't escape Gu Xi's eyes. Seeing that the master was sad, Gu Xi said, "The fifth aunt and grandmother just heard about these rumors, so she came back to see the master, which shows how much she cares about the master." Sir, why bother—"

"Yes, anyone with a discerning eye knows that she cares more about me and respects me more as a biological father, how does this call Master Lu deal with himself? How to pamper Haruka? The protection I can give to Yao'er must not be as much as that of Lu Qu. Can't make it difficult for the adults to do it, and can't let Yao'er suffer, then, only, I will retreat. ”

"Sir—"

Gu Xi's wailing did not end, and Gu You said again, "And the boss is too difficult, I have to do something for him." ”

Seeing that Gu You, who knew the destiny of heaven, really knew his destiny. If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself. He told himself, and he told everyone. resigned for the sake of the eldest son.

Before leaving, Gu You went to greet the old man first.

"Yao'er hasn't stood firm at this time, and her family can't help her, so it's better for her to borrow the strength of others to stand firm. As for me, I took advantage of the past few years to take care of my family affairs and take a few children to read for a few days. Regardless of his son or grandson, he has to provide a jinshi. Otherwise, we will have at least twenty or thirty years in the long house, and we will be like the Li family. ”

The wealth of the Gu family was accumulated after Gu You and Gu You, two brothers, were promoted to the rank of Jinshi. But the old man stubbornly believes that "the Gu family's family business is Lao Tzu's hard work". At this time, he can't speak, but his face and expression are all talking about this.

Gu You just didn't see it.

Father has been helping the eldest brother's family, how can he not know? Because he knew, he felt that the Gu family, or that he had left Shuntian, was the biggest foil for Gu Yao.

Gu You has never been a radical person, so he said to the old man, "Father, don't worry, it is rumored that I don't have anything to do with Master Lu, and my son will not resign for a while, at least until the end of the year." ”

The old man was relieved.

This one was put down.

On the fourth day of the fourth month of the 19th year of Yongle, the day after Zheng Zhi and Gu Yao moved, Old Man Gu finally closed his eyes and ended his hard life. Gu Yao took advantage of filial piety to push all the banquets that could be pushed, and returned Zheng Zhi to a quiet world.

Gu You's resignation was quickly approved, and the Gu family, helping the eldest man who was about to cry blind, left Shuntian Mansion.

Gu Yao has been sending his father and brother outside the city.

As far as she sends, the road will follow. It wasn't until Gu Yao gave up that Lu Qu said to Gu You, "Don't worry, I will take care of Yaoyao." You can keep filial piety with peace of mind, and in the future, whether it is your comeback after three years, or the place where the children of the Gu family want to contribute in their careers, I will not stand idly by. ”

After Gu You humbly thanked him, for the first time in his life, he proudly said, "The heart of the adult, the lower official, no, the little people have it." But Xiaomin's brother-in-law is a secretary of the ministry, and his cousin is a member of the party, so he doesn't have to worry about it. ”

Jian Yi is also at this age, and he will not be in the position of the secretary in three years, who can be sure? In this case, it is the wisest thing for Gu You to accept Lu Zhen's mind. But Gu You refused, he had already given up his daughter, and his dignity always had to be hung on his spine.

As for his daughter, Gu You was even more proud, he said, "As for Yao'er, my own daughter, I know best." When there is a condition, she is as delicate as a flower; Without conditions, she will grow like a weed and live better than anyone else! ”

The road is indeed choking.

Isn't? Just like in the previous life, the girl quietly went to graduate school for a doctorate, joined the army, and fulfilled the wishes of the old man.

And Gu You, after saying this, looked at Gu Yao in the distance, and his heart softened in the end, so he changed his tone and said, "But if there is the help of adults, then the child and Zheng San will be less bullied." From now on, I will be tired, and I will be a road-sama. ”

After sending the Gu family away, Lu said to Gu Yao awkwardly, "Gu You, Gu Zhong and this person are indeed a good father." I'm no worse than him. ”

Gu Yao didn't speak, looking at the avenue that had long been gone, tears flowed down her face, and she almost fainted several times, but she refused Lu Qu's support. It wasn't until Zheng Zhi sent people back that he fell into her husband's arms with confidence.
