Chapter 127: Gu Ming'an made things difficult
Gu Mingan hugged his arms in front of his chest, and looked Cheng Yan up and down without scruples, his eyes were full of disdain, obviously not taller than the other party at all, but he still had to raise his chin and make a gesture of staring, which made people unhappy.
Compared with Gu Ming'an, who was dressed in brocade clothes and imposing, although the cotton clothes Cheng Yan was wearing were clean and neat, he couldn't help but look a little simple, even shabby, and even his whole temperament was very restrained and forbearing, giving people a feeling of being bullied - at least Gu Ming'an thought so.
"When will I take care of my family and let such a person in casually come in?"
The polite smile on Cheng Yan's face was sluggish, the ink in his lowered eyes suddenly deepened, he slowly raised his head, the corners of his mouth were still raised in an upward arc, but his eyes were cold and distant, as if he was looking at a small and ignorant insect, contemptuous and disdainful.
Gu Ming'an's eyelids jumped when Cheng Yan saw it, and he actually felt a frightening sense of oppression from the other party, and he was a little stunned for a while.
At this time, Gu Yunji's faint voice came from behind the two: "Cousin Ming'an." β
Gu Yunji stepped forward and stood between the two, quietly protecting Cheng Yan behind him, and the warning in his words was obvious: "This is Cheng Yan, a friend I invited to study at the school together, a guest of the Gu family, not a thief who sneaked in." β
As he spoke, Gu Yunji narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Please also pay attention to the wording and be more respectful." β
Gu Ming'an let out a "ha" when he heard this, as if he had heard something funny, and said disdainfully: "A guest of the Gu family? How did I not know? When did you, a little concubine in Huating County, also be qualified to represent the Gu family and make this so-called invitation? β
It's been three years, Gu Ming'an is still like this, deliberately mentioning the background of his concubine to make him feel embarrassed, so as to feel ashamed and inferior. This method does not grow at all, it is really naΓ―ve.
Gu Yunji was speechless for a while, and he didn't have any patience for him, not only did he not look a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but asked generously: "Why am I not qualified?" My Gu Yunji follows the surname of the Gu family, and enters the genealogy of the Gu family, even if it is a concubine, it is also the grandson of my grandfather, who dares to think that I am an outsider? β
"Or ......" Gu Yunji's eyes were scorching, and Gu Ming'an's heart was empty, "Cousin Ming'an thinks I'm a concubine, not worthy of being called a descendant of the Gu family?" β
"I ......" Gu Mingan was stabbed by him like this, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.
The little maids around were secretly looking over here, and in full view of everyone, how could Gu Ming'an really say the words "Gu Yunji is not worthy", wouldn't that be his bullying and oppression of his brothers of the same clan, and he couldn't tolerate anyone?
Seeing that the township test was imminent, my grandfather finally invited a respected Confucian to temporarily come to the Gu family school as a teacher. Gu Mingxuan was already very dissatisfied with the post that gave him Luxi Academy admission, but now he was even more resentful, and made up his mind to embarrass Gu Yunji and make him embarrassed.
So as soon as he heard that Gu Yunji had arrived at Gu's house, he immediately rushed to the guest room where the other party was resting, and wanted to ridicule him, who knew that Gu Yunji was so articulate that in the end, he couldn't get off the stage.
I haven't seen him for a few years, Gu Yunji has grown a lot, and when he was humiliated during the Dragon Boat Festival three years ago, he still had nothing to do, he would only go to Gu Kaili to complain and win sympathy with a weak attitude. Now he dared to choke back in person, and his momentum did not lose at all, but made Gu Mingan speechless.
Sure enough, after worshipping the mountain chief as a teacher, the whole person has the confidence to speak, in order to prevent him from going to his father to sue himself again, it is better not to make the scene too ugly.
Thinking of this, Gu Ming'an's face was blue and white for a while, and his expression changed several times, but after all, he still held back a smile, and said with a haha: "What did Yun Ji say, you are my cousin, how can I think you are unworthy?" It's just a joke, don't take it to heart. β
It doesn't seem that there is no growth, at least the skin has thickened. Gu Yunji thought silently in his heart.
As he spoke, Gu Mingan stepped forward and climbed on Gu Yunji's shoulder, making an affectionate gesture, and glanced at Cheng Yan in front of him, meaning something to say:
"It's okay to invite friends to visit, but it's a bit inappropriate to go to the Gu Family School. After all, in addition to our own family, there are other sons of families in the school, and they are all people with status, so it is not good to stuff everyone into it, so that people think that our Gu family is too casual. Forget it this time, you still have to pay more attention in the future. β
Gu Ming'an's words sounded reasonable, but in fact, he degraded Cheng Yan and damaged Gu Yunji, openly and secretly saying that Cheng Yan was not allowed to be on the stage, and Gu Yunji acted willfully and did not know the general situation.
Gu Yunji's face changed when he heard this, and before he could open his mouth to refute, he heard Cheng Yan's clear voice on the side: "Gu Ergongzi's words are so contemptuous, and he doesn't leave the slightest way out when he speaks, how do you know that in the future, you and I will not be in a different situation, and the high and low will be easy?" β
As if he didn't expect Cheng Yan to say this, Gu Mingan didn't react a little: "What? β
Cheng Yan took a moment to straighten out his clothes, and his tone was calm: "You must know that thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, and I believe that it will not take thirty years, only five years, and everyone will be impressed." You must know that if Gu Ergongzi regrets what he did today, it will be too late. β
Gu Ming'an was stunned, and then burst out with wanton laughter: "Hahahahaha...... I'm laughing to death, a poor sour boy, who speaks so unbelievably and thickly, hahahaha......"
Gu Ming'an smiled and leaned back, not taking Cheng Yan in his eyes at all: "Cheng ...... Cheng Yan, right? Don't you think you're too arrogant? With you, what capital can I regret? I'm afraid I won't even be able to lift my shoes in the future! β
Cheng Yan smiled slightly: "I really don't have much capital in Xiaxia, but I have a little talent for reading, I think I should go further in the future than Gu Ergongzi, who has not taken the township exam twice." β
Gu Ming'an's laughter stopped abruptly, the momentum around him instantly dropped, and he looked at Cheng Yan with a heavy gaze and said, "What did you say?" β
has such good educational resources, but at the age of twenty-three, he is still just a talent, and he is not even qualified to enter Songjiang Mansion to study, Gu Ming'an's talent for reading is indeed not very good. What's more, there is a brilliant big brother Gu Mingxuan above him, which makes him more and more gloomy, and every time he mentions this matter, he will always be belittled and scolded by Gu Kaili and others.
It's just that Gu Mingxuan can't compare to it, now even a poor boy like Cheng Yan dares to laugh at himself with this, Gu Ming'an suddenly became angry, and almost couldn't help the urge to punch Cheng Yan in his heart, looking at him with eyes as if he was going to eat people.
Gu Yunji's heart jumped when he saw this, and he hurriedly stood sideways side with Cheng Yan side by side, staring at Gu Mingxuan's movements with a nervous expression, making it clear that he wanted to protect Cheng Yan.
"What's the quarrel about?"
In the midst of the tension, a calm voice suddenly came from behind everyone, breaking the stalemate.
