Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Today, I'll Be Presumptuous 1 Time
Gu Jiu went to see Master Gu.
Remind Mr. Gu to fulfill his responsibilities as a father and not to let Concubine Bai discipline Gu Lin again.
When Gu Lin is old enough to say kiss, it is time to find a nanny for her, so that she can be trained.
Master Gu patted his head, "I'm so busy that I forgot that the fifth girl's marriage hasn't settled yet."
Gu Jiu's mouth twitched.
What is too busy to forget.
In the past two years, Master Gu has been keeping filial piety, so what are you busy with!
He didn't care at all, he forgot that there was another daughter named Gu Lin, who was five and was not married yet.
On weekdays, Gu Lin wouldn't walk in front of Master Gu either.
At the end of the year, it would be good for the father and daughter to see each other.
The father and daughter hadn't seen each other for a long time, so of course Master Gu left them in the backyard.
Master Gu went on to say, "I'll ask your sister-in-law to handle this matter. The affairs of the inner courtyard are all under her control."
Gu Jiu sighed, "Father should take care of himself anyway. In addition to fifth sister Gu Lin, fourth brother Gu Heng, as well as the old seventh Gu Hui and the old eight Gu Gong, father should also take care of Gu Heng and Gu Hui. Even if they are from the concubine, they should find a livelihood for them, and they cannot be left idle all day."
Master Gu frowned and was worried, "Gu Heng looked fine before. He thought he would be successful in studying, but he took the exam a few times, but he didn't even get into a scholar. I don't think he is expected to study at all."
"If you can't read, then go to the army. I can arrange it for Jingying."
"Join the army?" Master Gu is very disgusted, "Gu Shu has already joined the army, Gu Heng can no longer join the army. And he can't bear this hardship."
"How does my father know that he can't bear this hardship? Has my father asked him?"
"Don't ask, I know it all."
Gu Jiu was angry.
She said with a serious face: "The fourth brother can't read and read well, and he is not allowed to join the army, may I ask what father wants the fourth brother to do?
If you don't take advantage of his youth and find a way to make a living for him, do you want him to mess around every day? To put it horribly, when his father was around, he could still get along.
After a hundred years from his father, he was afraid that he would beg for food. Gu Jiaerlang, reduced to such a field,
Does the father feel ashamed? "
Master Gu's face was ugly, "Why is this so. Don't exaggerate and sensationalize."
Gu Jiu snorted coldly, "Father, I'm not discussing with you this time, but to tell you that these brothers in the family must find a livelihood for them as soon as possible. They must never be allowed to continue eating and waiting to die."
"You're just..." Master Gu wanted to scold Gu Jiu for being presumptuous, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly realized that his daughter was already the wife of a prince, and quickly swallowed the word presumptuous.
"Is the father trying to scold his daughter for being presumptuous? Then her daughter will be presumptuous today."
Gu Jiu was not polite at all.
Seeing that Master Gu is only planning for herself, regardless of the life of her children, regardless of the attitude of the family's future, she does not intend to be more polite.
If the brothers and sisters are still children, the attitude of Master Gu doesn't matter.
Children are not old enough to take responsibility. It doesn't matter if you let it go for a few years.
But now, even the youngest Gu Lin has reached the age to talk about marriage.
Even in modern society, a young guy in his twenties should think about finding a job to support himself.
Not to mention in the generally precocious ancient society.
If Gu Jiu married an ordinary person, she could not care about the life and death of these concubines.
The Gu family only needs Gu Jun and Gu Ting to support the portal.
However, she is the wife of the prince, and she can't just watch her brother go to the road of eating and dying without asking.
She also didn't want to watch these brothers become Gu Jun and Gu Zhen's burden.
Can't write two words in one stroke.
It's really a day when they are in despair, and they find Gu Jun and Gu Ting, can Gu Jun and Gu Ting really ignore it at all?
In this clan-based era, Gu Jun and Gu Zhen couldn't do it.
Even in modern society, when friends and relatives come to the door, they cannot be completely shut out. Even if you are impatient, you still have to hold your nose and put out a little energy to deal with one or two.
Gu Jiu didn't ask these brothers to do great things, but only asked them not to hold back, so that one could support himself and his family.
So she said to Master Gu very rudely: "If a family wants to prosper and keep its descendants rich and prosperous, it depends not on the generation, but the efforts of the generations. Efforts are not just words, let alone every day. Eating and waiting for death, fighting cocks and walking birds.
Only by practicing martial arts and joining the army, reading and writing, by merit, by money and power, by being bold and careful, and educating the children of the family strictly, can a family be prosperous and prosperous.
The father left his children alone, obviously to turn them into waste. The daughter doesn't know, they do waste, who is good for them.
Now that the Gu family has been separated, the eldest uncle and aunt will not easily inquire about the situation of the Gu family. Fathers should take up the responsibility of upbringing and give them a livelihood anyway. They are all your children, and you can't just give birth and not take care of them. "
Gu Jiu was very dissatisfied with Master Gu and did not hide it in the slightest.
He almost tore off a face of Master Gu directly, and threw it on the ground and stomped it hard.
Despite this, Master Gu also felt a burning pain in his cheeks. It was as if he had been slapped twenty or so times from the left and right, and the slap made his eyes glow with gold stars, and he became angry with embarrassment.
Master Gu angrily scolded Gu Jiu, "You are an out-married daughter, and it is your turn to take care of the family affairs."
Gu Jiu said with a stern face, "I really have to take care of my daughter today. I know that my father looks down on those who are soldiers, but my father must not forget that the Gu family started out on military merit.
Gu's family's study began with his father. My father hoped that all the children in the family would embark on the path of studying and becoming an official, and he also had to see if they were suitable for study and whether it was the material.
Since I can't read the famous hall, I will all go to join the military as a soldier, anyway, I have a future. "
Master Gu resisted stubbornly, "I have the final say on this family. I can't say that they are not allowed to join the army, but it is not allowed."
Gu Jiu had a gloomy face, "Is father really going to delay their future for his own selfish interests?"
Master Gu asked back, "What's the future? Tell me, what is the future of being a soldier?"
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "It turns out that in the eyes of my father, there is no future in being a soldier. Next door to the Hou's mansion, the eldest grandson is also a soldier, what does my father say? Title, you can go into battle at any time to kill the enemy, what does your father say?"
"That's different." Master Gu quibble.
Gu Jiu said coldly: "In my opinion, it's all the same. If you want to be a general, you have to start as a soldier. Come on, go and call a few young masters. Madam Ben is going to ask them in person today, what do you want? What do you do? Is it true that you plan to eat and die for the rest of your life and be a waste."
Xu Yousi took the lead and hurriedly told Xiao Huangmen to invite someone.
Seeing this, Master Gu was very annoyed, "Gu Jiu, don't go too far."
Gu Jiu said, "I'm going too far today, so what?"
"you you……"
...
"It's not good, it's not good. The second aunt and the master quarreled."
Seeing that something was wrong, the servant hurried to report to Gu Zhen and Hu.
Now in this mansion, the two of them are in charge. If something went wrong, the servant would naturally look for the couple.
Hearing this, Gu Chen was surprised, "Why did the second aunt quarrel with the master?"
"Second aunt wanted to let several young masters join the army, saying that they could not continue to live. The lord did not agree to let them join the army. The two started quarreling, and the quarrel became more and more serious. The second aunt also asked someone to send A few young masters please come out and ask about this in person."
After hearing this, Hu said, "Second aunt's plan is really for the sake of the brothers. What is the reason for the master to stop it?"
Gu Zhen knew a little, "My father always looked down on military generals. When the third brother was in the army, he made a lot of trouble before he reluctantly agreed. Now that the second sister wants all the brothers to join the military, my father is naturally not happy. I just didn't expect that they would will be noisy."
"Then what should I do?" Hu Shi was a little worried.
A few uncles have nothing to do all day, messing around with the money from the public, she is very opinionated.
She agreed with Gu Jiu's opinion, how could the big men keep messing around like this. Since reading can't be read, martial arts is also a way out.
In the end, Lord Gu just didn't agree because of the prejudice of civil and military affairs.
Simply pedantic.
She didn't believe that being a soldier was worse than a mess.
You can still mingle now, but after a hundred years of Master Gu, the men are afraid that they will become beggars.
Don't think this is sensational.
How many aristocratic families, after three or two generations, some people will live in poverty, fighting famine all day long, or fighting the autumn wind everywhere with shame.
The emperor has three poor relatives, not to mention the Gu family.
For example, the several concubinage brothers of the old man, the days will get worse and worse, and they will not be able to open the pot by the end of the year.
Two days ago, I went to Houfu to find a big house to fight the autumn wind, and I got some money and grain to go back to celebrate the New Year.
Speaking of which, they were both sons of the Hou family back then, but now they are living such a miserable life, which is also sad.
As long as they had a businessman and worked hard back then, they wouldn't be reduced to such a field.
Gu Chen said to Mrs Hu, "I'll go take a look first. You guard the backyard, don't let anyone disturb your wife."
"I know."
His wife, Mrs. Xie, was stimulated by Gu Yue's death. Very grumpy now.
Hu deliberately stopped Xie from appearing in front of the aunts.
Gu Chen hurried to the study room in the outer courtyard, and several brothers had already arrived.
Boss Gu had a dignified expression on his face.
He warned his sons, "Our Gu family is studying heirlooms. If anyone wants to join the army, this officer will break his legs."
Gu Jiu smiled contemptuously, "Father always wants to break his daughter's leg."
Master Gu had a gloomy face, "This official said, it's not your turn to ask about the housework of the Gu family."
Gu Jiu said, "Anything that seems trivial may involve His Highness. As the wife of the prince, I have the responsibility to take care of these matters for His Highness. Fourth brother, seventh brother, eighth brother, let me ask you, who are you? Do you want to continue like this, or go to Beijing to join the army?"
The three brothers looked at each other, very embarrassed.
On one side is the father, and on the other is the best-married sister.
They are caught in the middle, no matter which side they choose, they are bound to anger the other side.
Both the seventh and the eighth were hesitating.
The fourth child took the lead in making a decision, "I want to go to the Beijing camp to be a soldier, so I will go to my uncle's place."
There is an uncle to take care of, promotion and salary increase, just waiting.
And obviously the second sister has stronger luck, but the father is going downhill. He naturally had to choose his second sister.
"You bastard!" Master Gu roared, "Who allowed you to join the army? See if I won't kill you."
"Father, calm down." Gu Chen quickly came forward to persuade him, "Fourth brother volunteered to think of being a soldier, father might as well give him a chance. Maybe he can really make a way out."
Master Gu's eyes were as big as copper bells, "Liu Liu, what's your peace of mind? You watched your brother go to the army but didn't stop him. Are you afraid that someone will compete with you for the family property?"
Gu Chen looked embarrassed.
He originally had good intentions, but he didn't expect to be misinterpreted by his father to hide evil intentions.
Gu Chen said solemnly, "My son has absolutely no intention of doing this. If the fourth younger brother can get a job title, his son will definitely stop him from joining the army."
Gu Da was so popular that he fell to his knees.
The fourth elder, Gu Heng, was very smart when he was young, and he studied hard.
Master Gu had expectations for him.
As a result, Gu Chen successfully passed the examination for the title of scholar, while Gu Heng took the examination several times, but he was still only a child.
Master Gu later found out that the fourth child, Gu Heng, could only study hard, and he couldn't see it when he was a child. When he grew up and took the test in the exam room, he showed his true shape.
Obviously, Gu Heng did not have the talent for reading. Even if he spends eight hours a day on reading, he will not be able to read well.
In reality, there is no warmth towards the scumbags, but instead is full of ruthlessness.
Gu Heng himself had been decadent for a year or two, and was very disappointed with himself.
Now that Gu Jiu asked him to join the army, he felt that this was a way out. Even if he disobeyed the adults, he would still go.
Look at Gu Chen and his wife, relying on Gu Jiu for the past few years, their childhood has become more and more prosperous.
He was just too slow to react until now.
Therefore, this time, he will not miss the opportunity to rely on Gu Jiu.
