Ding Ji nodded. Aunt Bai gave birth to two sons, but no daughters, and they were not much younger than him. Now the older one is also weak, so their life has become more and more difficult in the past two years. Aunt Bai began to feel sorry for them.
When making plans, my father let it go. He even felt that Aunt Bai did the right thing and was very supportive.
Gu Jinyan smiled faintly: "There are two, but there is only one position for the crown prince. Aunt Bai is a concubine. Even if we can prepare wealth for them, how much silver can compare with the dignity of the crown prince's position? Sitting on the crown prince's position
, the future Duke will be the Marquis."
"Because their mother treated them well, Hui Ling Hou had no shortage of gold and silver since childhood, so they would not be satisfied with this. What's more, they always have to worry, what if Hui Ling Hou is gone one day? How long will their good life last?
?”
"How can you feel at ease if you don't get it right?"
"Right now, they are staring at you, but you have to divert their attention. In other words, let them know that there is only one heir apparent."
Ding Ji looked at Gu Jinyan in shock, and he had already somewhat understood what she meant.
But it was different from what he had always thought.
"No matter how hard my father works, he can only give them gold and silver. My position as the heir apparent is not easy to take away." Ding Ji said hesitantly.
"It's just that it's not easy to take away. If that's the case, why would the prince be worried?" Gu Jinyan said directly.
Ding Ji nodded, that was indeed the case.
"The snipe and the clam are competing for the fisherman's profit. Let them fight for it. Then they can be sure that they cannot take away the position of the heir apparent." Gu Jinyan said: "As the heir apparent of the Huiling Marquis Mansion, you indulge them too much."
"But now the Huilinghou Mansion is almost empty." Ding Jia said with some annoyance.
"They are nothing more than external possessions. You can earn these gold and silver by your own ability. While earning, of course you can also prove your own strength. The difference between a hard-working legitimate son and two competing bastards.
Where? Even people's words are directed towards you." Gu Jinyan said.
Ding Ji had a complete epiphany: "Miss Gu Er, thank you for your advice. I understand everything."
"Miss Gu Er, are you with Yu Yanlou?" Ding Ji wanted to ask.
Gu Jinyan smiled lightly: "The medicinal food here is indeed very good."
Gu Jinyan did not reveal too much. She was interested in cooperating with Ding Ji, but how it would progress next naturally depended on Ding Ji's ability. If he couldn't handle these things well, then we would have to talk about it again.
Ding Ji saw that it was getting late, so he suggested going back first. It didn't matter that he was a man, but he had to consider Gu Jinyan. She couldn't stay out too late.
When Ding Ji went to check out, he was told that if he came with Miss Gu Er, he would never have to pay.
Although this matter was not stated explicitly, Ding Ji already knew it in his mind. He felt that every time he had more contact with Miss Gu Er, he would discover more things about her.
Ding Ji even wondered what kind of person this second Miss Gu was.
Obviously her situation is even worse than theirs, but she can do so many things.
On the carriage home, Ding Jia asked curiously: "Brother, is this Yu Yanlou related to Gu Jinyan?"
"Otherwise no one dares to touch him, and why would Yu Yanlou, who is very strict with rules, be so respectful to Gu Jinyan?"
"Ding Jia, please don't think so much about these things and ask so many questions. Even if they are mentioned in the future, you can't talk about them. Do you understand? Since she didn't say it clearly, she has her thoughts and reasons. Since we have the intention to talk to Gu
You have to understand that there are things you can do and things you can't do when making friends with the Second Miss." Ding Ji warned: "Do you feel that you have gained a lot by getting to know the Second Miss Gu?"
Ding Jia nodded: "It seems that after contacting Gu Jinyan, our affairs have made progress. When we are with Jin Yu, she never cares about us. The older we get, the more uncomfortable we feel."
"With Gu Jinyan, I feel equal. Everything can be talked about and discussed. She has what she wants, but she is also willing to give us benefits first."
Ding Ji nodded: "In this case, we must be more prudent when doing things, and don't cause her trouble because of unintentional things. It is very likely that she is the owner behind this Yuyan Tower."
Ding Jia looked surprised: "How is it possible? She is also a young lady in the boudoir. How could she do it..."
Ding Ji nodded: "Remember?"
Ding Jia solemnly agreed.
Returning to Huilinghou Mansion, Ding Ji returned to his study. Now he felt that he still had a lot of things to do. Since he wanted to do it, he had to work hard to accomplish it.
He recalled that day at Gu Mansion.
What the Lord Shangshu said.
He shook his head, of course he was willing, but as he is now, I'm afraid he is not worthy of Miss Gu Er.
Just thinking about it.
Then think about things carefully.
The second day.
Ding Jia came to the Chinese language class and nodded to Gu Jinyan to say hello.
Gu Jinyu frowned. She didn't expect that after so long, Ding Jia still hasn't bowed her head. Based on her understanding of Ding Jia, Ding Jia should have bowed her head long ago. Ding Jia has had a bad temper since she was a child. She would lose her temper every two days.
Will come and apologize.
Since Ding Jia has not been here for the past two days, many things have not been so convenient for her.
No matter how obedient Huang Qin is, her status is too low, but Ding Jia is different. She is a young lady from the Hou Mansion, and she was left to his own devices in the past.
"Ding Jia, today is medicine class. I will tell you what herbs to dig up later. Then you and Huang Qin will do the same thing and give me most of them." Gu Jinyu said proactively, she lowered her head in a rare move.
When Ding Jia heard this, he shook his head.
She doesn't want to do this anymore.
Infinite dedication, but no feedback at all.
On the contrary, she felt much more relaxed these past two days.
Between Jin Yu and Jin Yan, except for status, Jin Yu is unique, but in other aspects Jin Yu is completely incomparable, just like Yu Yanlou, Jin Yu does not have this ability.
To be with Jin Yu would be to seek skin from a tiger, and she didn't want to do that anymore.
"Ding Jia, please think clearly, don't regret it." Gu Jinyu did not expect that Ding Jia would become so fast, and said threateningly.
At the same time, he glanced at Gu Jinyan.
She couldn't figure it out. Gu Jin said that her biological mother didn't love her, her biological father was a traitor, and she never even left the house. What on earth did she have that Ding Jia should befriend? Has she forgotten her own situation?
"Ding Jia, in your situation, besides me, can anyone else help you?" Gu Jinyu whispered.
