Chapter 243 Showing Weakness (One More)
"Do you know what you're talking about?!" Gu Jian didn't expect Gu Yuan to say such a thing at all, her breath surged in her chest, her teeth gritted.
Gu Yuan smiled proudly, and sneered, "I'll keep Mrs. Tai from suing me at every turn."
"I'm a man, and it's okay to be criticized for a few words. Another day, if Mrs. Tai suddenly ran to sue my sister again, my sister is a girl's house, and the girl's house is porcelain, so I can't bump it. "
"Absurd!" Gu Jian patted the coffee table heavily, causing the tea cup to vibrate slightly.
Gu Yuan's remarks are clearly saying that porcelain does not touch rotten tiles. Gu Yanfei is porcelain, so who is rotten tiles? !
"Gu Yuan, you killed Jing Zhaoyin and caused trouble for the family. Your grandmother apologized for you with a loving heart, but you still remember the elders!" Gu Jian called him by his first name, his face so gloomy that he almost dripped ink. Come.
Just as Gu Yuan was about to speak, he felt his right cuff tightened, and in the next instant, Gu Yanfei said with a half-smiling smile, "Brother, I met Brother Xiao at the martial arts arena today, you haven't seen him for some time, haven't you? It's only been a few months, and Brother Xiao is as tall as me."
The girl spoke at a leisurely pace, and her voice was crisp and clear, as if the spring wind was blowing slowly across the frozen lake, and a pool of spring water was about to break through the ice.
If this person does not know each other, I am afraid that they will think that Gu Yanfei and Gu Xiao have grown up together since childhood, and they have a deep relationship with each other.
"..." Wang Shi's plump body tensed, thinking of Gu Xiao's face being scratched by an arrow from Gu Yanfei today.
She only has a son-in-law like Brother Xiao.
Wang panicked, and under the cover of the coffee table, quietly pulled Gu Jian's sleeve.
Hearing Gu Yanfei mention the martial arts field, Gu Jian's heart throbbed, looking back and forth at the brother and sister, and felt that his right shoulder and right forearm began to ache.
Since he was injured in the martial arts field, his right arm has not been able to exert any strength, and he is afraid that he will no longer be able to draw a bow and shoot arrows.
His niece is the most thoughtful and arrogant, and now that she has the eldest prince as her backer, it is even more lawless. If the brother and sister were heartbroken and hurt their son's right arm, would the son still be the prince? !
Just thinking about it, Gu Jian felt horrified and panicked.
These brothers and sisters can no longer stay in the Hou Mansion. It is better to drive out such a scourge. Even if the separation will attract some gossip, it is better than a small mistake.
The couple quickly exchanged glances and both came to a decision.
Gu Jian coughed twice, and then said hard: "Okay, since you brothers and sisters are determined to go their own way, then split up."
Gu Jian's cheek muscles were tense, and he was actually relieved.
In the past eight years, he has exhausted his bullets for the Hou Mansion, fought steadily and steadily, and put in a lot of hard work, so that the Hou Mansion has gradually emerged from the slump, and there is a sign of a comeback.
But there is a corner in his heart that is always worried, worried that the Hou residence he has worked so hard to support will be unearned by Gu Yuan. When he returned to the midnight dream, he had dreamed of this scene several times...
Knowing that the child is better than the mother, Mrs. Gu Tai actually knows her son's heart knot. Today, before entering the palace, Mrs. Gu Tai comforted him:
"Ajian, this mansion is already yours, and no one can take it away!"
"As long as it is publicized that Gu Ce is the son of a concubine, the long house is the common house, and there is no right of inheritance at all."
Gu Jian also knew that Mrs. Gu Tai was right, but Gu Ce was a shadow over his head for more than 30 years. Gu Ce's son was in the Hou residence, reminding him over and over again that the Hou residence still had a long house.
In those days, he was not as good as Gu Ce.
Today, his son is not as good as Gu Ce's son.
As long as Gu Yuan is in the Hou Mansion for one day, it will be a lingering hidden danger!
Separation is the best way.
Once the marquis's house is divided, and the long house is divided, then no matter how much the emperor covers up and condone the eldest prince, he will not agree to pass on the title of Marquis Dingyuan to the son and nephew of the divided family.
Only when the family is separated can the Hou residence be completely separated from the Changfang, and from then on, it will be a clean break.
Wang and Gu Jian are one body, and they can vaguely guess her husband's thoughts.
"Master Hou," Mr. Wang suggested with a stern face, fearing that Ye Changmeng would have too many dreams, "Since the family has decided to split up, it should be sooner rather than later."
She tried her best to wink at Gu Jian, and she couldn't wait.
Gu Jian also thought the same, then nodded and said, "I'll send someone to invite the patriarch and the patriarch to come over."
Gu Jian acted resolutely and immediately sent a few cronies to each prefecture to invite the patriarchs and elders.
When the clan elders gathered in the Hou Mansion, it was already Shen Chu, and the main hall of the Hou Mansion's outer courtyard was full of people, either gray-haired old men or middle-aged men in their 40s and 50s, all of them holding their heads high and smiling. Proud and majestic.
Gu Yanfei and Gu Yuan were also there. The brothers and sisters were young, so they were sitting in the back.
There was a lot of noise in the hall, and there was a lot of chatter and laughter.
The elders of the clan were familiar with each other, and some chatted with each other, while others deliberately approached Gu Yuan, trying to find out why the Hou residence suddenly split up.
"Big old man, Marquis."
The servant's salute caused a silence in the hall.
The elders of the clan all looked towards the gate, and saw that Gu Jian and the Wang clan welcomed the clan chief in person, and the three had already walked under the eaves.
After everyone greeted each other, the patriarch and Gu Jian sat at the top respectively.
Gu Jian pretended to cough twice, and said in a hoarse voice to the patriarch and others: "For the family affairs of the Hou's mansion, I have troubled my uncle and the clan elders for this trip. It made everyone laugh. I will apologize to everyone first."
Gu Jian nodded roundly at the crowd, looking at the delicate face.
The patriarch stroked his goatee and smiled boldly: "Master Hou, it's all from his own family, why are you talking about these false rituals?"
"Hey!" Gu Jian's deep eyes shot at Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the bottom and second, and sighed helplessly: "Brother Yuan wants to split up the family, and my wife and I have persuaded me again and again, but brother Yuan and his sister You can't listen, you have to fight for your own future."
Gu Jian's expression is extremely complicated, both loving and powerless.
Mr. Wang didn't say anything, just sighed silently while holding the handkerchief, and shook his head gently in Gu Yuan's direction, as if he was hesitant to speak.
The couple began to show their weakness and sell their misery.
After the patriarch arrived at the Hou residence, the couple had already discussed it privately. They felt that since the Hou residence was going to be separated, they had to occupy the second room, and they absolutely couldn’t let outsiders say that he couldn’t tolerate the children of his deceased brother.
The patriarch and the elders all frowned, and all disapproving eyes flocked to Gu Yuan.
At that time, people always pay attention to "the parents are there, and the family will not be separated." As long as Mrs. Gu Tai is still alive, Gu Yuan, as a grandson, should honor Mrs. Gu Tai's knees, respect her grandmother, and should not easily ask for the separation of the family.
"Brother Yuan," Gu Jian turned to look at Gu Yuan, who was sitting on a red sandalwood armchair near the gate, and said earnestly, "Separating a family is a big deal, it's hard to get over it, you have to think clearly..."
"Since the Marquis said so, then it doesn't matter." Gu Yanfei, who was sitting at the bottom, suddenly interrupted Gu Jian's words, with a light and gentle smile and slightly curved eyebrows.
This smile made Gu Jian feel hairy.
Gu Jian's eyes widened in amazement, her first reaction was: What tricks is she going to play?
The corners of Wang's eyes twitched, her nails stained with impatiens juice were pinched into her palms, and she looked at Gu Yuan beside Gu Yanfei with a heavy gaze.
However, Gu Yuan sat with a blank face, drinking tea, and he couldn't see his emotions at all.
Meeting Gu Jian and Wang's suspicious eyes, Gu Yanfei continued righteously: "With respect and reason, my elder brother and I should stay in the Hou residence, share the joys and sorrows with the elders, and share the honor and disgrace with the Hou residence. Only when a family has one heart can they be twisted into a single rope."
She stood up from the chair calmly, her slender figure was as elegant as green bamboo, and her speech and manners were very measured.
When the patriarch and the elders heard this, they nodded again and again, showing their approval.
"Well said." A clan elder who was over old and full of silver threads clapped his palm on the armrest and said in agreement, "It's inevitable that the tongue and the teeth collide, so it's better to be able to separate the family or not. ."
The patriarch also showed approval.
Gu Yanfei let out a long sigh, and looked at Gu Jian with an embarrassed expression: "But Lord Hou will always split up..."
"Fortunately, Lord Hou has changed his mind now."
"Then our brothers and sisters naturally listen to Hou Ye."
She smiled slightly, how well-behaved, how well-behaved, how open-minded, how open-minded.
The patriarch and the elders of the clan suddenly realized when they heard what she said, and looked at Gu Jian in disapproval.
So it turns out, it turned out to be Gu Jian’s family separation.
Yes, it's no wonder that he hastily sent people to invite all their old bones, because he was afraid that Gu Yuan would go back on it.
Gu Jian: "..."
Gu Jian's face froze for a while, there seemed to be a cloud above her head, and she cursed in her heart: This niece is really talking about people, talking about ghosts, turning her face is faster than turning over a book!
How can it be indistinguishable! Wang's heart was like being poured into a bucket of oil, and his anger was running high.
She stared at Gu Jian with burning eyes, and pulled his sleeve again, urging him to express his position.
Gu Jian firmly held the armrest of the Taishi chair and looked at the pair of siblings deeply.
At this moment, even Gu Yuan lost the determination he had when he asked for separation, as if he really made the decision all by himself.
However, Gu Jian couldn't say the word "no distinction".
Not to mention that the second room and the long room have completely turned their faces, just based on the relationship between the long room and the eldest prince, even if Kang Wang married Gu Yuncong, he would not be able to wholeheartedly believe in the Hou residence, and would even speculate whether the Hou residence wanted to please both. .
After all, Gu Yuncong does not have the blood of the Gu family, and the same goes for the children she will give birth to in the future.
Now that he has decided to invest in King Kang, he must let King Kang see his sincerity.
Thinking of this, Gu Jian's eyes gradually settled down, and his heart no longer wavered, he said firmly:
"Brother Yuan has grown up, and now he has a bright future. As an uncle, I am worthy of the spirit of the eldest brother in the sky."
"As the saying goes, the tree has big branches, and the people's congress divides the family."
This must be divided.
