1162. The Disadvantages of the Gu Family in Yizhou
As soon as these words came out, a group of licking dogs immediately started shouting.
"Wow! Shanshan is great!"
"That's right! My wife is the most beautiful!"
"Shi Lezhi has chosen you, how can others think highly of you? They don't even care about how much you weigh!"
"..."
Wen Ranran stood quietly in the team, looked at Gu Qiandao, and said jokingly, "These are already three Nascent Souls! Isn't it a lot of pressure?"
Gu Qiandao hugged his chest, now his mood had calmed down from seeing his old lover again.
"Joke? Pressure? When have you ever seen me feel stressed?"
Wen Ranran pouted, "But...every time you faced Feng Qi before, it seemed like..."
Gu Qiandao was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't mention that goblin!"
Wen Ranran smiled and stopped talking.
Gu Qiandao and Feng Qi are actually frustrated people to a certain extent. Wen Ranran has no way of knowing what happened between these two people, but it is definitely not simple.
But now Feng Qi may still be running Yanyu Tower in the capital, and I don't know if he will think of this guy.
Then...will Xia Lishuang miss herself...
Wen Ranran sighed.
What surprised Wen Ranran was that among the entire three branches of the Gu family, except for the eldest daughter Gu Shanshan, who had been appointed as the heir to the head of the family, there was no so-called second son. There were only a few side branch girls named Gu.
The test and overall score were neither good nor bad.
"Actually, don't look at it like this now, but each family has twenty quotas every year, and the ones selected are all elites... In the end, the Presbyterian Council and the family will calculate the average, and use this to see the five lines.
The potential of each small family in the family is also very important for the influence of the entire family!"
Gu Qiandao whispered in Wen Ranran's ear.
Wen Ranran sighed.
"It would be great if such a strict system were used in the selection of officials in the imperial court!"
Xia Liyuan smiled and said, "It's not necessarily certain. After all, our lower realm is not about the existence of absolute strength... Look at those Han Chun and Li Yuan... who were also admitted through the formal imperial examination back then.
The imperial court appoints officials, but what about the end?"
"Everyone wants to have strength, but there are not many people who have both strength and character... This big family occupies the immortal veins and racks their brains for the legendary ascension and tribulation, but we scholars pay attention to cultivating one's mind.
... Any of these juniors can certainly fight if their strength is put into the lower realm, but... what about virtue?"
Xia Liyuan almost hit the nail on the head and pointed out the shortcomings of the Gu family. Wen Ranran nodded seriously.
This is indeed the case... Think about how many emperors in ancient times killed innocent people indiscriminately, built mausoleums and temples in order to cultivate immortality, and became faint kings...
But now, Wen Ranran obviously doesn't have the time to take care of these things. All they need is the medicinal materials from the Melting Snow Forest. It's not her turn to take care of what the future development of the Gu family will look like.
"By the way, you said before... some people in the Yan Kingdom own black stones, and some of the Gu family should even have made deals with people from the lower realms?" Gu Qiandao said suddenly.
Wen Ranran hummed, "I just don't know which lineage it is..."
"Because the people in Yizhou have special reasons, they jointly own this kind of seal. People from outside cannot come in at will, and people inside can't go out under normal circumstances. Even if they do go out to practice, they can't interfere with the people.
If there really is a normal life, then we must check it carefully!" Gu Qiandao said.
Wen Ranran took a deep breath and nodded.
This kind of thing is of great importance. If they want to investigate, it's not easy to investigate. They just hope there will be a satisfactory result!
