"It's been a year, why don't you know some connections at home?"

Faced with his stepmother Pan Lan's complaints, Gu Chen could only smile bitterly. There is a pylon in the northernmost part of the Winter Lake Temple, the so-called pylon as the name suggests, the interior is all stationed by crystal guards, mainly to defend against the invasion of alien beasts from high altitudes.

Therefore, the Winter Lake Courtyard is also divided into a first-class military forbidden area by the empire, and in the Winter Lake Courtyard, except for some special people, the mobile phone signal between students and ordinary teachers is blocked, and the exchange can only be carried out by ancient letters.

Although Li Men is independent of Donghu Courtyard, in the general environment, telephones and mobile phones can only be used for 500 meters around Luofu Pagoda, and what is worse is that because of the hidden suppression of Donghu Courtyard, external letters are basically impossible to send.

For the rest of the Li Sect, it actually didn't matter. From the moment they entered the Loufu Pagoda, they were independent and did not need to have too much contact with the outside world, so Gu Chen was embarrassed to ask Li Men to fight for it because of his personal needs.

"Uh, I'm too busy with school, I forgot, I'm sorry Mom."

"Go, go," Pan Lan glared at him angrily, but her eyes were full of doting, and she scolded with a smile: "You little conscienceless! Look at you, you're all thin! ”

Her brows furrowed pitifully, Gu Chen suddenly felt a big headache, he was brought up by Pan Lan since he was a child, how could he not know that this was Pan Lan's mode of "endless broken thoughts"?

He immediately interrupted Pan Lan, changed the topic, and said, "My family is in such a hurry to let me come back, what happened?" ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal."

Gu Chen was anxious, and said quickly: "How can it be ...... if there is nothing?"

"Look, you're in a hurry!" Pan Lan glanced at Gu Chen, her expression suddenly became very weird, and she smiled with a smile: "It's a good thing, don't be afraid." This is ...... You go and ask your dad, he's more appropriate. ”

……

……

"What, marriage?!" Gu Chen glared at his father in shock, he didn't expect his parents to summon him back so anxiously for this matter.

"Well, you're not too young." Gu Ancheng said indifferently while drinking tea: "It's time to find someone for you to take care of." ”

"Dad, I'm only twelve years old." Gu Chen smiled bitterly: "And now it's my ...... study."

"What's wrong with twelve? What happened to the academics? Gu Ancheng glared and said angrily: "Which of your two elder brothers didn't promise a family affair at your age?" It's not that you should get married now, it's just that you can get married after you finish your studies, there is no conflict! ”

My brother's two are all childhood sweethearts, and I don't have any childhood sweethearts......

Gu Chen thought silently in his heart, Gu Ancheng's eyes widened when he saw that he didn't speak: "What are you still dissatisfied with?" It's the best for you, and I especially let you come back and meet with the woman, otherwise I won't even consider your opinion and make up my mind! You make friends with people first, and then talk about it if you are not satisfied. ”

Gu Chen was silent for a moment and asked, "So, which family is the woman?" ”

The one who can be paired with the Gu family must be one of the thirteen families in the Northland, and the Zhou family and the Ding family, who are also in Zhongcheng Mansion, are the most likely, but whether it is the Zhou family or the Ding family, Gu Chen doesn't like it very much.

"The Ding family, Keqing's sister, Ding Jingyu."

Gu Chen's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Ding Keqing still has a sister?" Why have I never heard of it? ”

Gu Ancheng said: "She was raised by the rich since she was a child, and she was placed in Beishuang City to cultivate, and she rarely returned to the Zhongcheng Mansion, so it's not surprising that you haven't heard of it." ”

Gu Chen asked seriously, "Why Ding Keqing's sister?" ”

"Ah Chen, you have been the best with your second brother since you were a child." Gu Ancheng sighed and said, "So I know how much you hate Ding Keqing, but first, the matter has passed, and secondly, ...... Dust, you must know that everyone has her own choices, maybe in the wrong way, but you can't deny a person because of one thing. Emotional matters, no one is sorry for whom. ”

Gu Chen was silent for a moment, looked up at Gu Ancheng and said, "I don't understand. ”

Betrayal is betrayal, hurt is hurt, betrayal and hurt is sorry for the person who poured a qiē for you, is to make a mistake. Once you make some mistakes, no matter what excuse you have, you can't blame others for denying you.

Gu Ancheng looked helpless, and said slowly: "You will understand in the future, many things are often not right or wrong." All right...... Go and see your second brother, he's glad to hear that you're back today. ”

Gu Chen snorted, got up and walked out of the house, thinking silently in his heart, even if the entire Gu family forgave Ding Keqing, he would want Ding Keqing to pay the price.

What you gain, you have to lose, this is the teachings of Li Men.

He walked briskly, but stopped at the door of the second brother's room, and was silent for a long time, not daring to knock on the door.

He felt guilty.

Many years later, when he recalled this era, he realized that a large part of his hatred for Ding Keqing was so strong came from his guilt, so he must make up for it with revenge.

It was he who revealed the secret of the Gu family's skill of breaking through the dust for thousands of miles, which made the second brother Gu Xuan lose and make his good future turn into ashes under Gao Zhaolong's feet.

At this time, he heard the voice of his eldest brother Gu Yang in the house.

"I've seen that Dingjing fish, it's very good, you don't have to worry."

The second brother Gu Xuan sighed: "The third brother seems to be obedient since he was a child, but in fact, he is stubborn in his heart, and even angry at times. I'm afraid he's not a girl to his liking. ”

"He's so young, what do you know? Didn't we understand it then? Gu Yang's voice suddenly became very tough: "This family matter, if he doesn't agree, he has to agree." The Zhou family has begun to make some small moves, we must unite with the Ding family, the Zhou family doesn't want that girl, but we can't do without it. ”

That Dingjing fish...... Was it rejected by the Zhou family?

Gu Chen didn't know what it was like in his heart, and there was silence in the room for a while, and after a long time, he heard the second brother say sadly: "Big brother, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Gu family, I'm sorry...... Third. ”

Gu Chen's heart ached slightly.

It's me who should say I'm sorry, second brother.

"What do you say?" Gu Yang shouted a little angrily: "We were born in the Gu family, and the family shares honor and disgrace!" I should be like this, you should be like this, and the third child should be like this, who is sorry for whom! If the home is there, we have to carry any difficulties, and if the home is gone, we will all have nothing! ”

"Third uncle! I found you, giggles! ”

Suddenly, a cheerful cry of milk and milk came, Gu Chen was taken aback, but saw that it was the eldest brother's five-year-old child, Gu Song, who ran over in a hurry, and the conversation in the house suddenly stopped.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, squatted down and hugged Gu Song, who threw himself into his arms, held Gu Song's immature little face, and said softly: "Little Songzi has grown taller again, how is your study lately?" ”

Gu Song's face suddenly collapsed, and he poured bitter water on Gu Chen: "It's not good at all, no one plays with me when the third uncle leaves, and my father forces me to exercise my dust power all day long." ”

Gu Chen frowned slightly, thinking that it is best to exercise dust power around the age of ten, is it too hasty for the eldest brother to force the child to exercise dust power so early?

He said, "Start exercising dust power so early? ”

"Yes, other children can go out and play, but I can't!" Gu Song said in frustration: "Dad said, I must surpass the third uncle? ”

"Why?"

"Because I am the head of the family in the future, not the third uncle."

"What are the kids talking about here!" The door was pushed open, Gu Yang walked out angrily, glared at his son, and scolded: "Don't hurry up and get back to me!" You know how to play all day long! ”

Gu Song was frightened, lowered his head timidly, and then silently opened Gu Chen's arms and left quietly. Gu Chen felt that the eldest brother was too strict with him, so he got up and said, "Big brother, Xiao Songzi is still a child...... I...... I never wanted to be the head of the house. ”

"Third brother, whether you believe it or not, I never have any selfish interests, not to mention children talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Gu Yang paused and asked, "You heard me talking to your second brother just now?" ”

Gu Chen nodded, and asked with a solemn expression: "Big brother, is the Gu family in trouble now?" Can I help ......? ”

"Don't worry, it's just that there are some things that don't have a long eye, and I really think that my Gu family has no successor and is ready to move. It's a bit of a tight budget, but we're able to handle it. Gu Yang sneered: "Our Gu family...... Not everyone can be bullied! ”

"As for your help, third brother, that girl from the Ding family, if you are not very disgusted, just settle it, this is the greatest help."

Gu Chen was silent, neither agreeing nor knowing how to object.

Gu Yang sighed, looked at Gu Chen, and asked softly, "In your year in Donghu Academy, are the crystal coins sent by your family enough?" ”

"yes, enough."

"To be honest, don't slap a swollen face and support a fat man! I know that the cost of the Winter Lake Academy is huge, and you have become a demon pattern master again, so that little money may not be enough! Gu Yang shook his head and said, "When you come back this time, I will give you 100,000 crystal coins to take away by the way, just don't spend it indiscriminately." ”

Gu Chen shook his head again and again, and said, "Big brother, I'm enough, really." You just said that we are short of funds now, or do we focus on the family......"

"Of course it wasn't given to you by the family," Gu Yang glared at him and said indifferently: "It's my private person who gave it to you, so it's decided, don't say it again." ”

As the son of the Gu family, Gu Yang naturally has an important position in the family. But Gu Chen knew that the eldest brother had worked for the family all these years and operated in those industries, and not a single cent of the family's money had been in his pocket, and 100,000 crystal coins were almost all his savings for him.

His heart warmed, and he didn't understand for a while whether Gu Yang was loving or guarding him, but one thing he could be sure of was that the eldest brother Gu Yang was not one of those villains.

The people of the Gu family are all upright gentlemen.

He and Gu Yang entered the house, the second brother was as gentle as before, and he was happy to see Gu Chen from the bottom of his heart. On the contrary, Gu Chen didn't know how to talk to Gu Xuan for a while, it seemed that in a year, the second brother he often pestered had become stranger.

No, the second brother has not changed, the person who has changed is himself.

He didn't know how to face this second brother who loved and cared for him.

He owes his second brother too much and the Gu family too much.

So he figured it out, and tomorrow he went to meet the girl of the Ding family, Ding Jingyu.
