Gao Yonghuai, who had just returned home, told the story.
Unexpectedly, the prefect had a huge reaction and asked quickly: "What did you say?"
Gao Yonghuai repeated: "Today Lu Yunhong accepted Pei Shan as his disciple."
Gao Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and then said in annoyance: "I actually ignored him at the beginning. If it was Lu Yunhong who went to the Lu family to find him, you should have become a disciple long ago."
Gao Yonghuai said: "You didn't say that, Lu Yunhong is not much older than me."
Gao Zhifu said coldly: "I'm right, that's because his father is also very powerful, but Lu Yunhong has the title of No. 1 Scholar, so he is qualified to be your teacher."
Mrs. Gao said: "Why are you so angry? It's the same for our family now. Is it possible that Lu Yunhong still refuses to accept it?"
Gao Zhifu said disdainfully: "What do you know? Wenren's first disciple is very particular and will be trained in the future. Now when Yong Huai goes to worship, he has to line up behind Pei Shan. What's more, Pei Shan is younger than Yong Huai.
How do you want Yong Huai to call you senior brother?"
Mrs. Gao was also depressed and said, "Do you want to beg Lu Shouchang again?"
Master Gao shook his head and said bluntly: "It's too late. Lu Yunhong has already started to accept disciples, and Lu Shouchang will not accept any more."
"This won't work, that won't work either, so what do you want Yong Huai to do?"
"Besides, do I have to become a disciple? Just let Lu Yunhong give me some advice."
Mr. Gao scolded angrily: "If women have the same views as you, who would be willing to accept a direct disciple? Is the so-called mentor a false reputation?"
"Not to mention that Lu Yunhong has the support of the Wang family, just because he is Lu Zhuangyuan, others will take a high look at Pei Shan when he becomes an official in the future!"
Mrs. Gao was so aggrieved by the yelling that she cried, "Why are you so cruel? Then the Lu family is so powerful that they were kicked out of the capital. I think it's nothing more than that."
Mr. Gao slapped the table directly: "Were the Lu family kicked out of the capital? The Lu family came back on their own. This is called hiding one's strength and biding one's time!"
"Stupid woman, how could I marry such a stupid woman like you!"
Gao Yonghuai frowned slightly when he saw his parents quarreling.
He had long been accustomed to this situation and didn't even bother to break up the fight.
"Today I met the eldest lady of the Lu family, Lu Yunran."
Suddenly, with this sentence, the room suddenly became silent.
Master Gao asked: "Did you go to the Lu family today?"
Gao Yonghuai shook his head, thinking about the figure of the girl Pingting, and murmured: "It was Miss Lu and her brother and sister-in-law who came to the library to look for books. We met."
"But she didn't say anything. She saw that I wanted to eat sweet potatoes, so she gave me a piece, but she didn't give it to me directly."
It was this that made him feel that Lu Yunran was a very well-educated lady.
Master Gao was calm, wondering what he was thinking?
Mrs. Gao sneered directly: "Why did she go to the library? Doesn't she know that you need to avoid suspicion in the library?"
"My brother and sister-in-law took me there. Maybe they just want to see you."
"The Lu family has a good plan. They don't want to accept you as their disciple. Do they want you to become a uncle?"
Gao Yonghuai frowned and said displeased: "What did you say? Miss Lu was very surprised when she saw me today. Besides, she didn't pay attention to me at all."
Mrs. Gao became even more angry and said scornfully: "I'm deliberately trying to catch you, just waiting for you to get interested now and really want to propose marriage."
For the first time, Gao Yonghuai felt that his mother was so unreasonable, and he choked directly: "Isn't the Duan family's matter enough to make my mother sober up? She dares to say anything nonsense. The eldest daughter of the Lu family has outstanding appearance, how can she be as miserable as my mother said?
"
When Mrs. Gao saw her son contradicting her for the eldest daughter of the Lu family, whom she had only met once, Mrs. Gao was so angry that she trembled all over and said angrily: "Why not? Your father is a fourth-grade prefect, and you are only seventeen today and already have the reputation of being a scholar.
, the future is limitless, they just take a fancy to your future."
Gao Yonghuai thought of Pei Shan, who was selected as a scholar at the age of twelve. So what was he? Is he a prime minister?
He was angry in his heart, knowing that arguing was useless, so he treated it with a cold face.
Mrs. Gao was so angry that she clenched her fists and wished she could wake her son up.
Master Gao suddenly shouted: "Okay, why are you arguing?"
"Yong Huai's words reminded me that we can get married with the Lu family."
Mrs. Gao trembled and said: "Master!!"
Master Gao glared at her and said angrily: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking? You want Yong Huai to marry Yu Ling, so that you can have the confidence to return to your parents' home. But I tell you, don't even think about it.
.”
"Don't say that Yu Ling is not worthy of being my Yonghuai. Even if she is, I will never marry your Yu family again."
Mrs. Gao's surname was Yu, and her name was Yu Zhen. When she married Gao Zhi'an, her father was still the prefect of Jiangning, and she was the concubine in the family.
At that time, Gao Zhian passed the imperial examination and came to propose marriage. His father felt that Gao Zhian had a future, so he agreed to the marriage.
Later, her father was promoted and served as a Beijing official for several years. Most of her sisters married in the capital and were not much more respectable than her.
In recent years, her father has retired, her brother is on duty at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and her sister-in-law is in charge of the household, which is considered very respectable.
Yu Zhen really wants her son to marry her niece, so that she can get help from the Yu family in the future. After all, the Yu family has settled in the capital, which is no longer what it used to be.
Hearing that Gao Zhian disliked their Yu family so much, Yu Zhen sneered: "Without us, the Yu family would be where you are today? Gao Zhian, let me tell you, Yong Huai's marriage is not your decision."
Gao Zhian sneered: "You're right, Yong Huai's marriage is indeed not my decision alone."
"Yong Huai, tell me, are you willing to marry Yu Ling?"
Yu Zhen also quickly looked at her son, hoping that he would give the same answer as her.
As a result, Gao Yonghuai said: "If there are only the Yu family and the Lu family, then I will choose the girl from the Lu family."
Gao Zhian: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll ask your mother to prepare and invite someone to go to the Lu family to propose marriage."
Yu Zhen was so angry that her father and son were so angry that she said angrily: "I won't go!"
Gao Zhian said: "If you don't go, I will ask someone to go. But you have to think clearly. When the Gao family and the Lu family get married, if they know that you are not satisfied with Lu Yunran, I am afraid that even your eldest brother will be in trouble.
"
Yu Zhen roared: "You threaten me?"
Gao Zhian mocked: "Don't you think that your mother's family is powerful? In that case, why should you be afraid!"
"you……"
Yu Zhen was angry and left.
Gao Zhian looked at her back and smiled coldly.
Gao Yonghuai looked at his mother's appearance and said, "It's better to slow down the marriage proposal. I'm afraid that my mother..."
Gao Zhian said: "Don't be afraid. I will let your grandmother handle the matter of proposing marriage. You can study in peace."
