Gu Shan bit her lip, "Third brother, don't mention the matter of silver again, I don't expect anything in this life, I just want to be safe and happy." ”

"Peace and joy?" Gu Zhan sneered: "Your joy has nothing to do with me, your joy can only be created by me, but for the sake of you helping me, this kindness, I have written it down, and when you get married in the future, even if you look at this part, I will take care of you, as for whether you can live smoothly, I dare not guarantee, I can only say that I will do my best." ”

Gu Shan's eyes flashed with joy, and she hurriedly said, "No need, no need for the third brother to bother." ”

She doesn't need to rely on Gu Zhan's charity, as long as she lives well and is not disliked by her in-laws.

"Third brother, you ...... Will you lend me a hundred taels of silver? When I take out the money, I ...... I'm willing to pay it back. ”

"You're still there?"

Gu Zhan raised his wrist, revealing a jade bracelet worth a thousand taels, "What do you take to pay me back?" I am not short of silver! ”

Gu Shan: "......"

"Take this jade bracelet, you take it."

Gu Zhan pushed the bracelet to Gu Shan, and said seriously: "My mother said that your mother is the best person in the world, she should not work for money, I believe my mother will not harm you." ”

Gu Shan hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the bracelet, she didn't know if Gu Zhan's words were sincere.

Gu Shan is not a stupid person, she feels that Gu Zhan is not a simple character, and even a little mysterious.

"I heard my mother say that the third brother is very good at reading, and even my husband praised the third brother."

Gu Shan held the bracelet and became more and more cramped and uneasy, "My mother said that the third brother is a filial son. ”

Gu Yao sighed secretly, her mother really killed her daughter and didn't pay for her life, she would rather Gu Zhan become a gentleman than want Gu Zhan to be misunderstood as a scholar.

After all, in ancient times, scholars were often the noblest and best beings.

Gu Jin's name is widely spread in the noble circle, and Gu Jin himself is also very good.

The three brothers have their own strengths, and they are not the smartest, and they will not be left behind.

In his previous life, after Gu Zhan encountered a setback on the road to the imperial examination, it was almost impossible to turn over.

Gu Shan saw that Gu Zhan refused to borrow more silver, and her heart sank slightly, "Doesn't the third brother look down on this bracelet?" ”

Gu Zhan said with a smile: "You are quite keen, this jade bracelet is enough for me to buy a few mansions, do you think I don't look down on it?" ”

"I ......"

"You don't have to worry about me selling the bracelet, I'll keep it for another use."

Gu Zhan got up slowly and patted his sleeve, "Don't forget what you promised me just now, I'll only give you one night to think about it." ”

"Third brother walk slowly, I will consider it carefully."

Gu Shan stood respectfully behind Gu Zhan, and seeing Gu Zhan walking out of the room, she pursed the corners of her mouth, "How did you get this jade bracelet?" ”

"You don't care where I got it, I'll tell you, you'd better be honest."

"I didn't take it."

"Hmph, you can't fool me, this jade bracelet was picked up by an old beggar, he is not a local, but occasionally passing by the vicinity of the Zhenguo Mansion, he thinks this thing is beautiful, and it looks good, so he secretly took it back, he doesn't know how much the jade bracelet is worth, carved it casually, and finally disappeared."

Gu Shan clenched her fists and said with tears in her eyes: "This piece of jade was originally left to me by my grandmother, and I ...... I was going to give this jade to you. ”

"You gave it to me? Are you that good? ”

Gu Zhan sneered: "I'm not a fool. ”

"I won't lie to the third brother, this jade bracelet is a thought left by my grandmother, I only thought about giving it to the third brother, but I never thought of giving it to Gu Yao, not only because of my grandmother's advice, but also because I think it was too shabby to give it to Gu Yao."

Gu Shan choked up and said, "She doesn't deserve to have her grandmother's relics, third brother, please, accept this jade bracelet." ”

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes, "I don't believe you, unless you swear, you swear a poisonous oath, you are not allowed to deceive me." ”

Gu Shan: "......"

"Third brother, I really want to give you what my grandmother left behind, but I ......"

"Okay, don't cry, pretend, your purpose has been achieved, I have been provoked."

“…… Thank you, third brother. ”

Gu Shan wiped the corners of her eyes and said in a low voice: "I just want to live a stable life, and I don't expect to be rich and glorious, the third brother doesn't have to worry about me being greedy for wealth, I prefer to accompany my mother, she is the only person I can't let go." ”

Gu Zhan touched the tip of his nose, "What, I was teasing you just now." ”

He turned and walked out the door, "I'm not going to force you to pay your debts, but your mother...... It can't be the same anymore. ”

"I understand."

Gu Shan took a deep breath and gently stroked the jade bracelet on her wrist, "I won't wronged my mother anymore, I won't embarrass my father, and I won't let my third sister-in-law ...... No, I don't grieve my father and grandmother. ”

She is no longer the simple little girl she used to be, and she no longer believes in her relatives.

"It's best if you can figure it out, I don't want to fall out with your sister, you are also my cousin, we will still be a family in the future, but ......"

Gu Zhan turned his head, "If you dare to do something that can't stand me, don't blame me for not talking about blood and family, and dealing with you ruthlessly!" ”

Gu Shan's face turned pale, and she barely maintained a smile, "Third brother, don't worry, I will abide by the rules, I will never do anything that will make the third brother lose face, and I will not ......"

"You'd better remember clearly, if I know that you have violated the agreement, that is, to cut off relations with the Gu clan, I will also destroy you, not only you, Gu Shilang, but also your mother and relatives will be kicked out of the house by me, I, Gu Zhan, am not afraid of causing trouble, and I am not afraid of the people of the same clan turning their faces."

Gu Zhan's threat made Gu Shan tremble, as if she could anticipate Gu Zhan's madness.

"Gu Yao is not your own sister, you shouldn't target her, she is smarter than you, and she doesn't care to calculate you, she has her own pride and dignity."

"She has her own pride and dignity? Hehe, I've never seen her have any dignity! ”

Gu Shan said sarcastically: "She grabbed the position of my eldest daughter, she didn't know how to be respectful, but deliberately pressed me, my mother loved her, and my grandmother doted on her, she always wanted everything from me, and now I am not a concubine, but she is still staring at my jewelry, and she can't wait to grab it all." ”

"Her ambition will never be satisfied, she wants to be a wife, she wants to be a great aunt, and even she ...... She wants to be the housewife of the Gu family! ”

"My mother said that Gu Yao has no intention of admitting her mistakes and repenting at all, she only regards us as enemies, even if her grandmother is dying, Gu Yao will not be grateful to Dade."

"Not only did she not appreciate it, but she obstructed my mother everywhere, she ...... She also teamed up with the prince to frame me! ”

The more Gu Shan spoke, the more sad and indignant she became, her shoulders shrugged, and she cried: "She is not worthy of being the eldest daughter, she is not worthy of continuing to live, she should not enjoy this glory!" ”

"Smack!"

Gu Shan's head was suddenly slapped in the face, and the whole person staggered back two steps, her forehead hit the table leg, she moaned in pain, and five bright red fingerprints appeared on her forehead.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Gu Zhan gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Gu Yao is not unworthy of being a concubine, but she doesn't need you to teach her a lesson!" You don't deserve to mention her, and you don't deserve to insult my daughter! ”

"You...... You actually hit me? ”

"yes, what if I hit you?"

Gu Zhan dragged Gu Shan up, without any pity, "You are also my cousin, I have always treated you as a cousin, but what about you?" Not only did you not thank me, but you slandered my daughter everywhere, and even slandered her, you ...... You have disappointed me so much, Gu Shan, I warn you, you are not allowed to say anything bad about Gu Yao again! Otherwise...... Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind, I'll kill you! ”

He let go of Gu Shan and left with his feet up, "Remember to repay the money as agreed, otherwise your mother won't be able to protect you!" ”

There was a thud, and the door slammed shut.

Gu Shan sat down on the bed, stunned for a moment, covered her forehead and burst into tears, and muttered, "I don't want to do this either, but I'm ...... I can't control my jealousy, I don't want to lose to her, why can she be liked by everyone? Why should I endure? Obviously, she is far worse than me. ”

She is not reconciled!

*****

Gu Shan's abnormality attracted the attention of Gu Yan and the others, and Gu Yao asked, "Did she do something wrong?" ”

Gu Yan frowned and shook her head, "I don't know, but she has always been a taciturn child, not as flamboyant as Shan Ya, she rarely interacts with us." ”

"Has she been busy lately?"

"Hmm."

Gu Yan nodded, "I heard that she went to the silver building to get a lot of silver, and also bought some strange-shaped jewelry, every time she finished shopping, she would hide it, no one would reveal what she bought, her clothes, shoes and socks were also replaced with new ones, which was more decent and exquisite than before, but her clothes also cost more, and I saw that she bought a lot of rouge gouache." ”

Gu Yao pursed her lips, Gu Shan's changes were quite fast, "You sent someone to follow her?" ”

"How could I do such a thing?"

Gu Yan patted his chest and promised: "I have done good deeds all my life, I have never done anything bad, I can't even scold people, let alone spy on others, I will send someone to secretly protect Shan Yatou, she is my niece after all, I can't let her suffer, I ...... I don't care if she lives or dies, but I ...... Oops, I'm not going to say that. ”

Li smiled: "If you don't say it, I also know, you are worried that Shan Yatou will be bullied outside." ”

"I just don't want Shan Yatou to be cheated, when I'm not in the capital, if someone uses Shan Yatou to calculate Yaoyao, aren't you very passive?"

Gu Yan looked like I loved my daughter the most, "Yaoyao, I think your father is right, your study housekeeper not only has to guard against Gu Lu's scourge, but also against others, after all, your father ......"

Gu Yao smiled and said: "You are right, I should learn to be a housekeeper, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that my father is too stupid, and his IQ is ...... You can also see that he is not smart enough, I am worried that he will be deceived or used by Gu Lu, I don't want this to affect you and my grandmother. ”

"I also agree with the words of the second brother and sister, I see that the second uncle has been very busy recently, and he is either drinking all day long, or going to the gambling house to wander, and the second aunt is a woman with two young brothers, and life is afraid that it will be difficult."

Li sighed lightly, "Your father is a stupid and honest man, where can he fight Gu Jia, who is good at calculation, I think the second uncle is really confused, obviously he can separate the family, if he has to rely on the Gu family, I really can't help it." ”

"You don't have to worry about us, our family lives well, Gu Jia doesn't dare to do anything to us, and I'm not afraid of her!"

Gu Shilang waved his hand boldly, not taking Gu Jia in his eyes at all.

Their family is the safest, who dares to calculate Gu Jin?

Gu Shilang told Gu Yao, "You study hard and prepare for the imperial examination, I will help you block the affairs of the Gu family, and after you are admitted to the Jinshi, our father and daughter will join forces again to completely sweep Gu Jia out of the house!" ”

“……”

Gu Yao shook his head helplessly, Gu Siye's brain supplement strength was amazing, I don't know what he had in his head, how could he think of the imperial examination.

Could it be that Gu Siye is illiterate?

"Yaoyao, don't underestimate me, although I haven't taken an exam, but I have rich experience, and I am more powerful than the county order, especially when I was in Jiangnan, I heard about many famous cases, those cases have been compiled into the classics and handed down, and I have also read them, although I just watched the excitement and did not participate in cracking it, but I also saw a few ways."

Gu Shilang recounted many cases with enthusiasm.

Gu Yao bowed slightly, "You are indeed better than me, I am not as good as you, I ...... I'll try my best. ”

"You don't have to be humble, I know you're not simple."

Gu Shilang hugged Gu Yao with a smile, lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance on her body, "You and the third brother are not like ordinary people." ”

"Ahem."

Gu Jue held the teacup and embarrassed to hide his cough, "Dad, can you be a little more restrained and don't show affection in front of us?" ”

"You know what? You brothers and sisters combined, I haven't shown it yet! ”

Gu Shilang snorted, "Your brothers and sisters are not as close to me as I am, and they are not as good as my life, my daughter is my favorite daughter." ”

“……”

Gu Jin and Gu Yan glanced at each other, got up and walked away.

Leaving Gu Shilang to hug Gu Yao tightly, "Good daughter, you are the only one in my father, you have to help me!" ”

"Aren't you accompanied by my mother?"

"Your mother, she ......"

"Don't let my mother down!"

“……”

Gu Shilang's face turned red, as if he had been humiliated, "I won't let down your mother, she...... She is just an orphan girl, without her mother's support, marrying me, I am high, and I have agreed to marry her as a sweethouse. ”

"I'm a man, I can't never marry a wife for the rest of my life, your mother is a good woman, I will cherish her, and I am willing to work hard for you, but I only have you now, and I can't wronged you......"

"I'm not wronged, I don't feel wronged at all."

Gu Yao gently stroked Gu Shilang's sideburns, her eyes softened: "I don't lack the love of my parents and brothers, the only thing I lack is my father's love!" ”

She rubbed in Gu Shilang's arms, "I will never forget how my father defended me and protected me, even if you are a bastard, I will not dislike you or hate you." ”

"You don't hate me?"

"What do I hate you for?"

Gu Yao said softly: "I haven't done anything sorry for you, if I do something wrong, my father can teach me a lesson, or even beat me and scold me, but ...... I'm not going to blame you, I'm not going to be sad about it, I'm just going to tell myself that it's all worth it. ”

Gu Shilang choked up with emotion, "Why are you so sensible?" ”

"Because my father is a good person, and I have always been a good child, my mother is a good woman, and I am also a good child!"

Gu Yao said softly: "I don't expect my mother's family to give me glory, all I can do is to make my mother's life more comfortable, so that my father will not be tortured by his stepfamily." ”

"What are you talking about?" Gu Shilang's eyes widened, "Your mother is not having a good time, and I am not happy with it, I will never allow anyone to bully her!" ”

Gu Yao sneered, "Don't anger your stepmother, but I won't let her bully my mother." ”

Gu Shilang nodded heavily, "Don't worry, your father and I are not muddy." ”

"I believe in my father's ability." Gu Yao said softly, "You just need to take care of yourself." ”

“……”

Gu Shilang sighed with emotion: "Yaoyao, you are becoming more and more similar to your mother. ”

His eyes were red, the tip of his nose was sour, Gu Yao reached out to wipe his tears, "Dad, why are you crying?" It's not that I don't come back, I will send a silver ticket back every month, you don't want to be reluctant to my mother, she just went to the capital to enjoy the blessings, and when she returns to her hometown, I must have already achieved fame, you can see me at any time, I bought a house in the capital, and also invited a special chef to serve you
