Gu Ming'an didn't leave any room for words when he spoke. The three Gu Yunxiao brothers' faces were as dark as water. Everyone else at the table was also watching their noses and hearts, not daring to answer rashly.

After a while, Gu Yunji calmed down, tried his best to smile, stood up and asked: "Cousin Ming'an, I wonder why you are so famous that you can't even look down on others?"

Gu Ming'an's expression froze. He only had the reputation of being a scholar. The reason why he was so arrogant was not because of his status as a direct descendant and the power he borrowed from his father and brother. But he didn't want to lose his momentum, so he pretended to be calm and said: "You, you don't care about me! My father

He is a fellow magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture and is in the fifth rank! My brother passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and the imperial examination at the age of twenty. He is a peerless genius! What kind of fame do you have!"

Gu Yunji is neither humble nor arrogant: "I'm not talented, I don't have any fame, I'm just a child."

Hearing these words, Gu Ming'an relaxed again and shook the fan in his hand: "How dare you, a little boy and a country bumpkin, to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Gu Yunji was not annoyed, and said quietly: "It's a rare time for me to come to Fucheng, but my cousin bullies my brothers like this. It's really chilling. It seems we can't stay here any longer."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he stood up and left the table and knelt down in front of Gu Kaili: "Uncle, we originally wanted to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival to reunite with our elders, but we didn't want cousin Ming An to look down upon us so much that he would ridicule us.

We are country bumpkins and our knowledge is short-sighted. My nephew can’t eat any more of this meal, so we say goodbye and don’t dare to visit again in the future.”

Gu Yunji looked heartbroken and was about to walk out as he spoke. Gu Kaili and others had heard some of the quarrel at their table just now, but they just thought it was just a few words between the juniors, and it was the festive season, as the elders

It was not good for him to intervene and ruin the atmosphere, so he planned to turn a blind eye and pretend not to hear. Who knew that Gu Yunji knelt down directly in front of him with a look of grievance on his face, and even complained to Gu Mingan, so he could no longer pretend not to see it.

.

Gu Kaili couldn't really let Gu Yunji go, so he quickly grabbed him: "Good nephew! Good nephew, don't panic, there must be a misunderstanding." As he said that, he glared at Gu Ming'an, who was avoiding his eyes, "Gu Ming'an! Come here!"

Gu Ming'an trotted over and knelt in front of Gu Kaili tremblingly, with still unwillingness in his eyes. He originally expected that the other party would not dare to make things worse in such an occasion where all the elders were present, so he spoke without any scruples. Who knew that Gu Yunji would not follow the routine?

Here it comes.

Gu Kaili kicked his son bitterly and scolded: "Your cousin's family finally came here once, and this is how you talk? Where did you remember the filial piety and filial piety that I taught you on weekdays? Today

If you dare to insult your brothers like this, won't you be disrespecting your father tomorrow?"

The old man and Gu Kaizhen were watching from the sidelines. Gu Kaili did not dare to take sides at all. To put it more seriously, no matter what the facts were, since Gu Yunji was begging in front of him, he had to show off.

"Go, go to the study and kneel down, don't get up without my order!"

After saying that, Gu Kaili seemed to change his face, turned around and said to Gu Yunji warmly: "Oh, nephew, don't take what your cousin said at ease. I am your uncle, and the person sitting next to you is your grandfather, who

Dare to treat you like an outsider? Don't say anything about leaving, this is your home! Come on, come on, sit down and eat, the food will be cold in a while."

After achieving his goal, Gu Yunji no longer struggled and walked down the steps given by Gu Kaili. He pretended to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued to sit back at the table to eat.

Gu Kaili returned to the table and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Yu is not strict in his upbringing. Second brother, please don't take it to heart."

Gu Kaizhen also said politely: "Where are the children who quarrel every time and deserve such severe punishment from the elder brother?"

The fourth child, Gu Kaiqi, took everything in his eyes. He stared at Gu Yunji's figure, smiled meaningfully, and said to himself in a voice that no one noticed: "What an interesting boy, the second brother is really a genius."

During the whole process, Mr. Gu said nothing. He watched with a cold face as his eldest son took care of everything before he said, "Okay, let's put this matter aside and continue eating."

After the meal, Gu Zhengde had the habit of taking a nap, while Gu Kaili and others took a walk in the garden to eat.

Gu Kaili glanced at the tall and tall Gu Yunxiao, and suddenly said: "Yunxiao is not young anymore, have you got engaged?"

Gu Yunxiao blushed, glanced at his father, and said, "Not yet."

Gu Kaili's eyes lit up and he started playing matchmaker enthusiastically: "Really? Your eldest aunt has a niece, her surname is Zheng, her maiden name is Xiuyun, she is seventeen years old, she is really gentle, virtuous, elegant and beautiful. Her father is from Yangzhou Prefecture

Tongpanzheng Zheng Haifeng is a good match for our family. When your grandfather celebrates his birthday this year, his family should come, so you can meet him then."

Gu Yunxiao couldn't resist for a moment and stammered: "My nephew, my nephew is focused on the imperial examination and has not considered this matter yet. Not to mention the important matter of marriage, my parents have ordered a matchmaker, and my nephew does not dare to do it on his own."

Gu Huaishao, the younger son of Gu Yuanzhao, the eldest son of the second wife, walked up to him, put his hands on his shoulders and teased: "Cousin Yunxiao is hesitant when he talks, maybe he has someone on his mind! What excuses do you have for wanting to take the imperial examination!"

Gu Kaili said: "Even for the imperial examination, you can't delay your life-long events." When talking about children, he turned around and chatted with Gu Kaizhen, "Today's children, I really don't understand what they are thinking. Just say

My eldest son is twenty-three! Every time I talk about marrying him, he excuses himself by saying that he is busy at the Hanlin Academy and cannot come back."

"Isn't this trying to prevaricate me? It's not like I've never been in the Hanlin Academy. How can I be so busy? Back then, it was too late to get married at eighteen. I got married at seventeen and gave birth to my eldest son at eighteen. This

Isn't it fine? Why is there any delay..." Gu Mingxuan's marriage has now become his worry, and he complains endlessly when he catches Gu Kaizhen.

"Cough cough cough -" Perhaps because he couldn't bear it after walking for a long time, Gu Kaiqi started coughing again.

Gu Kaizhen asked with concern: "Fourth brother, are you okay? Sit down and rest for a while. I told you to stay in the room so that you could have children, but you just refused."

Gu Kaiqi's face turned pale: "It's an old problem, it's nothing serious." He waved his hand, "In the past, I stayed in the room all day long, and the most I did was talk to my wife. I was very lonely. There are so many people today, so I just want to

Lively and fun with the big guys.”

Gu Kaili let out a long sigh and said: "You are in poor health and have no heirs. It's time to discuss giving you an adopted child from the clan. At least you have someone to take care of you. It's good to relieve your boredom on weekdays."

Gu Kaiqi waved his hand: "The child is too young to raise, and we are not close to each other when he is older. How can adoption be so easy? Let's talk about it later."

Someone sent Gu Kaiqi back to his room, and everyone stopped wandering around and just chatted in the garden.

After some time, Gu Kaizhen stood up and said goodbye: "It's getting late, and I have to rush back to Huating County with my family before sunset, so I'm getting ready to leave."

Gu Kaili held his hand tightly, looking very reluctant: "The time flies by so fast. You said you wouldn't bring the nieces to see them this time. We haven't sat here for long. How about dinner?"

I'll pass on the food right away, I'll make it in time."

Gu Kaizhen declined and said, "I won't bother you, brother. When my father turns sixty this year, I will bring the whole family over to show him a good look. I won't keep any more today."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Gu Kaili said no more: "Well, when my father's birthday comes, my second brother will come early!" Then he turned to Gu Yunxiao and told him, "Yunxiao, you are coming to Beijing this time.

Rush for the exam, if you don’t understand anything, just go to your older cousin!"
