"First of all, I deliberately picked thorns when I asked for homework, and today I got some kind of transfer wishes, I have to say that people covet it. What do you want to do with Cheng Yan everywhere? Did he mess with you? ”

These days, Gu Ming'an's difficulties with Cheng Yan have been seen by Gu Yunji. At first, he thought that Gu Ming'an had lost face because Chen He had stepped on one in public, so he was unhappy with Cheng Yan, and felt that he would be angry for two days at most.

Unexpectedly, Gu Ming's mind was so narrow, and he actually held a grudge against Cheng Yan for so long, and he was about to ridicule and ridicule him almost at every opportunity, which embarrassed Cheng Yan.

At the beginning, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan turned a blind eye to this, thinking that they would endure it and pass, not wanting to intensify the contradictions. So far, Cheng Yan can still bear it, but Gu Yunji can't bear it.

He invited Cheng Yan to come to Gujia School in order to study and go to school with him and listen to the teachings of Confucianism, not to let him come here to be humiliated.

Seeing that Gu Yunji spoke so directly and didn't do any superficial work, Gu Mingan lost the patience to talk to him, and immediately said coldly: "It's strange if he didn't mess with me, he provoked me to make a big fuss!" A mud leg, he is not worthy of carrying shoes for this son, where is the qualification to enter and exit with me in the school, on an equal footing? ”

Gu Yunji didn't expect Gu Ming'an to still struggle with this, and looked at him incomprehensibly: "Gu Ming'an, are you sick?" Does birth mean everything? From ancient times to the present, there are so many capable people from poor families, which one is not more famous than Cheng Yan? ”

"Although there are noble and low levels in the world, whether you admit it or not, the powerful people in this society are just able to climb fast, that is, they can get rid of those rich and noble straw bales. The so-called whether you are high or low, the capable live in it, and the imperial examination system is the best proof of this sentence! ”

The eight words "No matter whether you are noble or low, those who are capable live in it" are as sharp as sharp thorns, and the words are poked on Gu Ming's peace of mind, shattering the creed of hierarchical order that he has pursued for more than 20 years, his eyes are red, and he clenches the fist on his side unwillingly, and he does not make a sound for a long time.

"Ding, ding, ding—"

The class bell came from behind the two, Gu Mingan turned his head and glanced in the direction of the school, and then quickly restrained his emotions, and when he looked at Gu Yunji again, his eyes were still indifferent, and he sneered:

"Hmph, I don't care what others do, but Cheng Yan, I just see that he is unhappy, I just want to target him, what can you do? If you have the ability, you will protect him again and again, but you are afraid of ...... There's always something you can't protect. ”

As he spoke, Gu Ming'an turned around and walked towards the school, his voice was far away, as if he was warning and admonishing: "Gu Yunji, you are also the son of my Songjiang Gu family, I advise you to broaden your horizons, remember your identity, don't get involved with people like Cheng Yan, just take care of yourself......"

Looking at the back of Gu Ming'an leaving, Gu Yunji's eyes narrowed slightly, and the depression in his chest was blocked.

It seems that communicating with Gu Ming'an himself will not work, Cheng Yan is from a humble background, and there is no one behind him, so he may suffer a big loss under Gu Ming'an one day, and he still has to inform his elders about this matter......

That night, Gu Kaiqi was in his study.

After listening to Gu Yunji's explanation, Gu Kaiqi frowned, and there was anger in his eyes: "I didn't expect Gu Mingan to be so wanton and bully Cheng Yan in public, it seems that we really spoiled him!" ”

Gu Kaiqi took a deep breath, looked at Gu Yunji and said, "Yunji, I will inform your uncle about this matter, let him find a time to teach Gu Mingan a good lesson, and will not make him embarrassed Cheng Yan again, you can rest assured." ”

Seeing that Gu Yunji pursed her lips and didn't say a word, as if she was not very satisfied with this statement, Gu Kaiqi asked again: "What's wrong Yunji, do you still have any concerns?" ”

"Fourth uncle, are you sure you're not perfunctory to me?" Gu Yunji smiled bitterly and raised his head to look at him, "Cousin Ming'an grew up with you, you must know better than me what kind of character he is." Do you think this will be effective? Will he listen? ”

Gu Yunji and everyone in the Gu family in Fucheng are not very familiar with each other, and the only one who is relatively close is the fourth uncle Gu Kaiqi. Gu Yunji thought that he was a reasonable person and should not favor Gu Ming'an, so he told him the ins and outs, hoping that he could properly resolve the matter.

But the answer given by Gu Kaiqi was to inform Gu Kaili of this matter and let him, as Gu Ming'an's father, solve it. Gu Yunji understands that Gu Kaiqi is only Gu Ming'an's uncle after all, and it is not good to intervene personally, but it is also too perfunctory, doesn't this just give the other party the opportunity to turn a big thing into a small matter, and fool this matter casually?

Maybe Gu Mingan may still be resentful because of this, and he will retaliate against Cheng Yan more and more in the future, which will make the situation even worse.

Although Gu Ming'an is not a weapon, but in the end he is a child of the Gu family, in any case, he is closer than Cheng Yan as an outsider, Gu Kaiqi doesn't want things to make a big fuss, and he doesn't want to be too harsh on Gu Ming'an.

Gu Kaiqi was said to be thoughtful, and was immediately silent, and only said after a while: "Then what do you want?" ”

Gu Yunji raised his bright eyes to look at him, and said slowly and clearly: "I hope to let my grandfather come forward and solicit Cheng Yan on behalf of the Songjiang Gu family." ”

Gu Kaiqi was stunned when he heard this: "Solicitation? Why? ”

Gu Yunji continued: "In this way, it can reflect the importance that my grandfather attaches to Cheng Yan, so that Gu Mingan does not dare to act rashly. Second, it can also improve Cheng Yan's status, and with Songjiang Gu as a backer, his future career will be smoother. ”

Although Gu Kaizhen had already started to fund Cheng Yan, it was only limited to money and did not support him in other aspects. What's more, this is Gu Kaizhen's personal behavior, which cannot represent the entire Gu family, let alone Gu Zhengde's personal solicitation.

Gu Ming'an is a bully who is afraid of the soft and the hard, and it is very difficult, the reason why he dares to target Cheng Yan like this is that he has no backer behind him, and no one supports him. Since this is the case, then improve Cheng Yan's status from the root, even if it can't make Gu Ming'an completely stop provocative thoughts, but if he can make him scruple in his heart, it would be good to ensure that the situation was calm before the township test.

Gu Kaiqi's eyes flashed, and then he stared at Gu Yunji's eyes fixedly, and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that recruiting scholars is a major matter that must be treated with caution, and it is related to the future development and fate of the family. ”

"Enlightened at the age of ten, he was a talent at the age of fourteen, and he won the second place in the county exam in one fell swoop, is it qualified enough?"

"With your own strength, you can submit an article to Luxi Academy and be admitted, is it qualified enough?"

"As soon as I entered the college, I won the first place as a freshman in the monthly examination, and I have never fallen out of the top three in the examination in the past three years.

Gu Yunji's voice didn't stop, sentence after sentence, and the loud words smashed at Gu Kaiqi one after another, and his heart trembled when he heard it: "Cheng Yan's talent is amazing, if he wasn't burdened by his background, his achievements would definitely be even more dazzling." Every step I have taken in the past few years, in fact, there is a figure of him next to me, and he has never fallen half a point, but no one knows it. ”

Gu Yunji looked deeply at Gu Kaiqi's ink-colored eyes, as if he wanted to see through his hidden thoughts, the words were like jade beads, crisp and powerful: "The most important thing is that his family is poor, we help at this time, he must be grateful for the kindness of the Gu family, if he turns into a dragon and takes off one day in the future, can he forget our Songjiang Gu family?" ”

Gu Yunji said this, not only for the long-term interests of the Gu family, but also for Cheng Yan's personal development. He knows Cheng Yan's ability and believes that with his perseverance, his future achievements will definitely not be low. But after all, he came from a humble background, and if he wants to compete with those children of the family, he doesn't know how much effort he has to put in and how many detours he has to take.

But if he could lean on the big tree of the Songjiang Gu clan at the beginning, his road would be much easier. And the Gu family just made a very low-risk investment, but the return was far higher than the cost paid, and it couldn't be more cost-effective.

Gu Kaiqi's expression seemed to be shaken, but he couldn't help but hesitate: "...... I know what you said, but he's still just a little talent at the moment, or he won't wait for the township to try it......"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Gu Yunji interrupted: "If the township has tried, Cheng Yan has passed the examination, there will definitely be many forces that want to make friends with him, and when the time comes, our Gu family is just one of the many forces, what bargaining chips can guarantee that he will definitely choose us?" ”

Seeing that Gu Kaiqi was still wavering, Gu Yunji sighed and said slowly: "Fourth uncle, the icing on the cake is far less than sending charcoal in the snow to win people's hearts......"

Gu Kaiqi's body trembled, and when he heard this, he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and finally agreed: "Okay, I promise you." I'll go to your grandfather tomorrow to discuss, and I'll try my best to convince him, but there's no guarantee that he'll agree, so be prepared. ”

Being able to get Gu Kaiqi's clear promise, Gu Yunji was already very satisfied, and he didn't dare to ask for anything more, and immediately said happily: "Okay, then I'll wait for the good news from the fourth uncle." ”
