Chapter 520: Separate Family
The nephews and nieces are generally around five or six years old, which is the age when they can dance and make trouble, and the children are curious and heavy, and one by one the "third uncle" surrounds Gu Yunji, talking about what he will see and experience outside, chattering, making Gu Yunji's brain buzz.
Finally got out, Gu Yunji wanted to go back to his yard to have a look, nostalgic for the time he used to be in Beijing, but he didn't want to become the residence of his nephews and nieces, and he didn't know where to put the old things.
Upon learning of this, Mrs. Wang looked a little embarrassed: "Over the years, there have been many children born in the family, and the house is too small to live in, and we see that your yard is empty and no one lives there, so we temporarily vacate it for your nephews...... Of course, your stuff is stored in the warehouse, not thrown away."
Gu Yunji is not a person who cares about everything, and understands this: "Every inch of land in the capital is expensive, it is not easy to find a house that suits us, our family has been away from Beijing for a long time, there is no need for the yard to be empty, it is appropriate for nephews to live."
"Just now, I was about to say that the family has a large population now, and there are already some people who can't live in it, so we won't come back and squeeze with you. But it just so happened that His Majesty gave him a house, which is just east of Beicheng District, not far from here, and our family of three will move there to live, which is also convenient."
Mrs. Wang smiled happily when she heard this: "This is very good, after all, it is a family, and we are afraid that you will not be used to living in your own small family for a long time." Anyway, now that you've all returned to the capital, you'll always move around in the future, but it's all the same......
As Mrs. Wang was talking, Gu Kaizhen, who was silent and silent on the side, suddenly said: "There is no need to move around often, since you have moved out, it is equivalent to splitting up, and in addition to the New Year's holidays in the future, it is better to reduce contacts."
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively hall instantly quieted down, and Gu Yunji's smile froze on his face.
Gu Yunxiao's face changed, and he was shocked and angry: "What did my father say?!" The third brother's family finally came back, how do you say this? It's just moving out, when did you say you're going to break up?"
Seeing that Gu Yunji's expression was not good, he hurriedly made up for it: "Third brother, don't take it to heart, I think my father drank too much wine today, and he was confused for a while......
"I'm not confused."
Gu Kaizhen's voice was muffled, with a little hoarseness: "I'm very sober. I'll say it again, the third child moves out this time, even if he separates from us alone, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the family from now on, of course, we can't take care of your affairs."
Gu Yunxiao stood up anxiously: "Father!"
"Don't talk yet, Ansheng sits." Gu Kaizhen forced Gu Yunxiao to sit down with his eyes, waved his hand again, and motioned to Zheng Xiuyun to take the children out, and only adults were left in the hall.
Gu Yunji watched his movements without saying a word, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Father, what do you mean by this? I've just come back, and you're going to part with me? And divide me alone?"
I haven't seen him for a few years, Gu Kaizhen's figure is rickety, and he is already a frail old man, he turned his cloudy eyes and glanced at Gu Yunji deeply: "Ji'er, I won't go around the bend with you, I'll just say it."
"Among my three sons, you are the most promising, and I was very happy at first, thinking that although I was a concubine, I finally got through. But then I came to realize that it's not entirely good for a child to be too promising."
"This time, you returned to Beijing with a high profile, and you have a knighthood again, and you are a household servant, which is simply unique. Although I have only been famous for a show in my life, I also know what it means to be a 26-year-old Sanpin Zhengguan."
Gu Kaizhen said, looking at Gu Yunji's eyes a little complicated: "Outsiders say that my Gu family's ancestral grave is smoking, and there is such an immortal talent as you, but only my own family knows how many dangers are hidden in it."
"If you were An Ansheng to be your own official, it would be fine, but if you choose to join the prince's faction, it will be a succession! It's good to win, but if you lose, the whole family will be overturned!"
Gu Kaizhen's words were deeply jealous, lest he avoid them: "Not to mention that you and Fang Zigui still have a holiday, he is the second prince's person, and he will definitely fight with you to the death in the future." You may think it's nothing if you have embarked on this path yourself, but don't forget, you still have a big family behind you."
"I'm Ben
is a small squire in Huating County, who has no ability, and does not ask for his children to soar, but only wishes that the family is safe. If you want to take the heir and earn your own future, I won't stop you. But you'll have to allow me to leave a way out, at least to save your big brother."
"Your eldest brother is in the middle of engineering, and he was originally a petty official that no one cared about, but a few days ago, he was forcibly impeached by the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, saying that he was derelict in his duties, and your eldest brother couldn't argue in every way, and now he has been suspended."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is Fang Zigui's territory, this is obviously because he wants to take revenge, and he doesn't dare to touch you casually, so he can only take your eldest brother under the knife...... A small appointment or dismissal may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of your household servant, but it is a big deal for our family."
Hearing this, Gu Yunji's heart fell, and he suddenly felt a little ironic.
He smiled coldly, "So what? In order to protect my eldest brother, will my father abandon me and draw a line with me, the princelings who participated in the seizure of the heir?"
Gu Kaizhen subconsciously lowered his head, avoided his gaze, and said in a muffled voice, "...... In the current situation, no one can guarantee that they can stand on the right team, and if the big family wants to prosper for a long time, it has always been guaranteed and will not do anything desperate."
"You are a rare genius of the Songjiang Gu Clan, there is no doubt about it. If you want to take the heir, the clan will do everything they can to support you, your cousin, and cousin Mingxuan, they are all on your side, and they will not let you fight alone, you can rest assured."
"As for our side,......" Gu Kaizhen paused, and was silent for a while before saying, "I still tend to protect your eldest brother, as my eldest son, as long as he draws a clear line with you, our branch can avoid being affected to the greatest extent." Even if you lose in the future, there is still hope for the Gu family."
Other people's parents are all looking forward to the well-being of their children, and would rather fight all the family funds than save more confidence for their children. But here in Gu Kaizhen, before the heirdom officially began, he was so frightened that he cowered, and he was busy drawing a line with his son.
Rao is Gu Yunji has never had any expectations for him, and at this moment, he can't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart.
He couldn't help but think sarcastically: If it was the eldest brother Gu Yunxiao who took the heir today, would Gu Kaizhen still do this? I'm afraid not, after all, this is the real son in his eyes.
Looking at Gu Kaizhen's face that he didn't dare to look at himself, the initial disappointment faded, Gu Yunji's heart suddenly became extremely calm, he stood up and bowed to Gu Kaizhen: "Okay, my son obeys his father's orders."
"From today onwards, I will go out of my house alone, and I will not have any contact on weekdays except for birth, old age, sickness and death."
