Chapter 128: Admonition
Seeing the person coming, Gu Ming'an's momentum suddenly subsided, the anger on his face was clean, and he lowered his eyebrows and obediently saluted: "Fourth uncle." ”
Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan also bowed one after another: "I've seen the fourth uncle/Gu Si master." ”
"Hmm." Gu Kaiqi bowed slightly, his eyes wandered back and forth on several people, "What happened just now?" Got into a fight? ”
Gu Ming'an laughed uncomfortably, his eyes a little erratic: "How can there be." I'm joking with Yunji's cousin, isn't this that he just arrived, and he is not very familiar with the house, so I thought about taking him around, lest they can't even find their way to the school. ”
Seeing that the township test is imminent, Gu Ming'an is being watched very closely by his family, at this time, he can't help but make some trouble, so he doesn't have to save Gu Kaiqi from suing Gu Zhengde and letting him be scolded again, it is better to turn a big thing into a small thing.
As he spoke, Gu Mingan grabbed Gu Yunji's shoulder, pretended that nothing had happened, and said without changing his face: "Our brothers have a very good relationship, how can they quarrel?" Do you say, Yunji? ”
The corners of Gu Yunji's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he had a new understanding of the thickness of Gu Ming'an's face.
Gu Mingan is a troublemaker who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, Gu Kaiqi can't know him better, where will he believe his nonsense. At the moment, it seemed that he took the initiative to stir up trouble, but as a result, Gu Yunji and the others suffered a loss, so he became angry.
"Really?" Gu Kaiqi raised his eyebrows, and his voice was a little sickly lazy, "That's the best." But why don't you read in your room at this time, what are you messing around? Yunji and they naturally have someone to receive, so there is no need for you to make trouble here. Don't put your mind on the right path all day long, let your father know and punish you! ”
As soon as he thought of Gu Kaili's gloomy face and reprimanding him, Gu Mingan couldn't help but feel weak in his heart, and hurriedly said with a hippie smile:
"Fourth uncle, don't tell my father. Didn't you hear that the great Confucian will only come tomorrow? I just want to relax today and refresh myself to listen to the class tomorrow. Gu Ming'an's eyes rolled twice, and then he changed the topic stiffly, "It's so windy here, Fourth Uncle, your body is not good, beware of the wind and cold, it's better to go back and rest early." ”
Gu Kaiqi snorted coldly: "I have a bad body, but I haven't been brittle to this point, how can I blow a little wind and can't stand it?" Don't change the subject with me. ”
Then, he turned his head to look at Gu Yunji, and replaced it with a warm smile: "I haven't seen you for almost three years, Yunji has grown a lot taller, your grandfather was half a head shorter than me when he was born, but now he is taller than me, and he has really grown up." ”
Gu Yunji replied with a smile: "I don't think the fourth uncle has changed much, but his complexion is better than three years ago, and he is getting younger and younger." ”
"You kid! I haven't seen you for so long, and people have grown taller, and their mouths have become sweeter! Gu Kaiqi laughed, his voice sounded very pleasant, "August is the township exam, you have to work hard and strive to come back from the top three in one fell swoop!" ”
Gu Mingxuan listened disapprovingly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's easy to say, the top three are so easy to test?" You must know that my eldest brother only took the fifth place in the exam, and he was still in the top three, so I don't think it's easy to say whether he will pass the exam or not......"
Before Gu Mingxuan finished speaking, he was glared at by Gu Kaiqi, so he quickly shut up honestly, not daring to speak again.
Seeing this, Gu Kaiqi turned around and his eyes fell on Cheng Yan on the side: "There are still ...... Cheng Gongzi, since you are here, you are a guest of my Gu family, don't be too restrained, just feel free and feel free, you can tell me what you want. ”
Cheng Yan bowed his head modestly and said politely: "Thank you, Master Gusi." ”
Gu Kaiqi didn't have much impression of Cheng Yan before, just from the words of Gu Kaizhen's letter, he learned that he was a young man with good grades and great development potential.
It's just that the clothes are a little more modest.
Coming to such a conclusion in his heart, Gu Kaiqi's first impression of Cheng Yan was very good, and he couldn't help but have some appreciation in his eyes when he looked at him.
Yu Guang glanced at Gu Mingxuan next to him, but saw that he was looking at him with disdain, and he was secretly pouting, as if he looked down on Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, Gu Kaiqi's eyes suddenly dimmed.
Thinking that Gu Yunji and the two of them had been driving all the way, and after a few casual greetings, Gu Kaiqi asked them to go back to the room to rest.
Seeing that the two doors in front of him were tightly closed, Gu Kaiqi closed a smile on his face, turned around and grabbed Gu Mingxuan's clothes next to him, and pulled him forward: "Come with me, I have something to say to you." ”
Gu Ming'an was caught off guard and was dragged by him, the road was unstable, and he didn't dare to struggle hard because of his sick body, so he had to follow his movements and move forward: "Hey, hey, fourth uncle...... Slow down, don't fall, can't I go with you? ”
All the way to Gu Ming'an's study, Gu Kaiqi let go of his hand and admonished him with a calm face: "I know you don't like Gu Yunji, but I advise you not to mess with him." It's going to be a township test soon, and you'd better settle down during this time, and don't block your father and grandfather! ”
Gu Ming'an looked innocent, and his tone was careless: "I didn't mess with him, can't I just go over and say hello to him?" ”
"Don't pretend to be garlic with me, I don't know what you're like?" Seeing his appearance, Gu Kaiqi couldn't help but get angry, "Today is different from the past, he is now the personal disciple of the former cabinet chief, and even His Majesty praises him, and his future is limitless." Otherwise, why do you think your grandfather offered to let him come to the school? That's because you value him! ”
Gu Mingan pursed his lips, still very unconvinced: "I'm just unwilling, he is a concubine, he should stay in his Huating County obediently, why ......?"
"No matter what kind of son-in-law you are, they are all your grandfather's grandsons, and in his eyes, it is natural to cultivate whichever one is angry." Before Gu Ming'an finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Kaiqi, "One grandson failed to pass the exam twice, but the other grandson showed extraordinary talent at a young age, if the two of you have a dispute, who do you think your grandfather will favor?" ”
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, pouring Gu Ming'an's heart cold, and he had to face the stark reality: except for his background, he was not better than Gu Yunji at all, and even completely inferior to the other party.
Or even bigger - except for his rich background, in terms of ability alone, he is no better than anyone else.
All along, he has lived under the aura of his eldest brother, and he can't get his father's attention or his grandfather's attention, and the only thing that can give him a little sense of superiority is his identity and the authentic name of the long house.
Gu Ming'an used this to comfort himself, the reason why the eldest brother Gu Mingxuan is excellent is because he is the grandson of the authentic Changfang, and everything is very in line with the hierarchical etiquette. Then in addition to the eldest brother, he Gu Mingan is naturally more noble than others, after all, this is all as it should be.
So when he saw Gu Yunxiao, who was a concubine but was promoted earlier than him, and Gu Yunji, who was gradually emerging, he was extremely unbalanced in his heart, and he didn't like the other party.
Because they reminded him that he was no more noble than anyone except his status.
Seeing that Gu Ming'an was silent and seemed to listen, Gu Kaiqi softened his tone and said with relief: "No matter what, you are all cousins and family members who are related by blood, and you must help each other in the future, so that the family can be long-term." The reason why I tell you this is that I don't want you to be disturbed at the moment, and it will not be good if it affects your township test. ”
Of course, it is more important not to affect Gu Yunji's township test because of this.
Gu Mingan tightened his fingers on his side, and his voice was a little dry: "I know, Fourth Uncle." ”
Although he agreed to Gu Kaiqi, as soon as he mentioned this, Gu Mingan still felt blocked in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered Cheng Yan's words: "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 exchanged?" ”
Gu Yunji is just that, after all, they are both children of the Songjiang Gu family, and they are all from a family. Cheng Yan is a complete mud leg, why did he climb on his head? How dare he?
Gu Ming'an's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sarcastic arc: Hmph, I can't mess with Gu Yunji, can't I mess with you?
