Chapter 146 Talking with strength

The cup was filled with heat, and Gu Zhengde sniffed the fragrance of Longjing lightly, and felt a little relieved in his body and mind. He casually put the cup and his eyes fell on Gu Yunji's hand: "The tea is going to cool, don't you taste it?"

First, he patiently reminded Gu Yunji's family of importance, then suddenly pointed out his mistakes to shock him, and then affirmed and praised him when he was nervous. After only a while, Gu Zhengde easily took the initiative, and in a few words, he felt ups and downs.

Even though he lived for two lives, Gu Yunji's life experience was still shallow, and he could not compare to Gu Zhengde's ability to practice in his half-life. At this moment, his mind was already in chaos, so he had no leisure to taste the West Lake Longjing.

The throat was dry, Gu Yunji picked up the cup and poured half a cup. The slightly cool tea gushed down his mouth, soothing a little irritability in his chest. When he pursed his lips and savored it, he felt that the taste was ordinary and nothing special.

Gu Zhengde's meaning is very obvious. The reason why he despises Cheng Yan is not only because Cheng Yan is from a poor family, but also because Gu Yunji is a slight person and his weight is not heavy enough in his heart.

Generally speaking, as a prominent family in the entire Jiangnan region, the Gu family in Songjiang will not give too many winks to a poor scholar. Cheng Yan was able to visit the Gu family and get the opportunity to study in the school because he was Gu Yunji's friend. The respect and courtesy given by the Gu family was also for Gu Yunji's face.

Cheng Yan was a guest invited by Gu Yunji, and the Gu family's attitude towards him also reflects the Gu family's attitude towards Gu Yunji. Cheng Yan was framed and damaged by reputation, ultimately because Gu Yunji was not valued in the Gu family, or was not valued enough.

If Cheng Yan was Gu Mingxuan’s friend, maybe the result today would be completely different.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji looked up at Gu Zhengde: "If I proved my strength, how much could my grandfather do?"

"It depends on how much strength you can show." Gu Zhengde blew the hot tea in the cup, his tone was careless, "If you go further, the Gu family will support you one more step; if you go one more point, the Gu family will support you one more point. If one day you can reach the top, the Gu family will pave the way and shield you one more point?"

"If you have strength, you will naturally have confidence, and at the same time you will have the bargaining chips to negotiate with your family. Not to mention letting the Gu family treat your friends, even if you have a certain right to speak in your own major life events, it is not surprising."

As he said that, Gu Zhengde took a sip of tea and moistened his voice: "You probably don't know yet. Since you were famous, there are many families who want to marry you, including many wealthy families. Some of them are afraid that I won't agree, so they come to marry your sister."

Gu Yunji looked surprised, and was unexpectedly unexpected: "What?"

"Of course, I didn't agree, I pushed all of them."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but feel a little worried. The one I had pushed before, but the one I had not confirmed afterwards. The matter between him and Xu Shuhua was not yet confirmed. Maybe I will tell Gu Zhengde now that if the Gu family insisted on giving him a marriage, he would not be sure to withstand the pressure.

Seeing Gu Yunji frowning, Gu Zhengde thought he was worried about being deprived of his choice, so he comforted him: "Although marriage is a major event and his parents' orders are the matchmaker's words, I know you are an idea-friendly child and don't like being arranged by others, so you have to ask your opinions no matter what, and you will not make decisions without hiding them."

"What's more, you are only seventeen years old. Don't worry about this at this time. At least you have to wait until you finish the provincial examination before slowly discussing and choosing."

At this moment, it is necessary to be anxious sooner or later, and it is impossible to avoid it. For individuals, the family is both confidence and backing, and a restraint and a cage. Gu Zhengde's words reminded Gu Yunji that if he cannot prove his strength as soon as possible, he will not be qualified to negotiate with the family and can only be arranged without choice.

Today, I saw that he had good academic talent, so Gu Zhengde would think about asking him for his opinion. If he failed the exam tomorrow, he would not even have the patience to consider it carefully, so he would directly make a marriage for him.

Because there is no potential and significance for cultivation, his own ideas are irrelevant, and even the people around him - his friends and his sister - are not worthy of attention or attention.

If you want to control your own destiny and protect the people around you, you must first strengthen your own strength and make your family have some concerns. The imperial examination is the fastest way to achieve this goal.

Gu Zhengde raised his fingers, lit his fingers gently on the desk, and said slowly and clearly: "I asked you to come today. In addition to saying these words to you, I hope you will not be disturbed by your mentality and cannot concentrate on reading."

"It's mid-June now, and there are less than two months before the provincial examination in August. Closing your mind to prepare for the exam is the most important thing at the moment, do you understand?"

After sorting out the chaotic thoughts, Gu Yunji took a deep breath, stood up and bowed to Gu Zhengde: "The grandson understands."

"Just understand. I will teach him a lesson from Gu Ming'an, so that he can be at ease during this period of time. If you don't disturb you and Cheng Yan's study, you can rest assured." Gu Zhengde nodded slightly and closed his eyelids as tired, "Then that's it, you go out."

"Yes." Gu Yunji responded, turned around and exited the study room.

In the distant corridor, looking at Gu Yunji's back as he left, Gu Kaiqi's eyes were deep and his face was unclear.

Without asking, he could guess what Gu Zhengde said to Gu Yunji. Gu Yunji was talented and extraordinary. Although he was still a little unfamiliar with the world, fortunately he knew what he wanted. As long as he had a little bit of tempering, it would be only a matter of time before he could become a talent.

It was okay for Gu Yunji to say this, but the other... was a little troublesome. Thinking of Cheng Yan, Gu Kaiqi sighed helplessly.

Before, he felt that Cheng Yan had great potential and would have a broad world in the future. Today, seeing him being tolerant and restrained in his actions, even if he was framed in every way, he would be able to remain calm and remain calm, so he became more and more sure of his thoughts.

Gu Yunji regards Cheng Yan as a friend and wants to protect him as much as possible, but Cheng Yan may not be willing to hide behind his wings and become a vassal of others. Putting aside Gu Yunji's relationship, he also wants to win the respect of the Gu family with his own strength.

He is from a poor family and has outstanding talent. People like Cheng Yan are the best candidates to recruit, but unfortunately, such a thing happened today. Gu Zhengde's attitude towards him is so cold, so there is definitely no hope of recruiting him.

I just hope that after he makes his mark in the future, he will be able to remember his friendship with Gu Yunji and not hold a grudge against the Gu family. Gu Kaiqi thought silently.
