348 chapter 348-dislike
Third aunt Gu’s gaze towards the Emperor was filled with disdain.
Her second brother used to be a bad drinker, but that didn’t mean he could hold his liquor well!
There was once when she went back to her mother’s house to teach her second brother a lesson. She pulled a cart full of wine back home, but in the end, her second brother was so drunk that he passed out after drinking a few jars.
This ye guy couldn’t even win against her second brother, how embarrassing!
Even her husband could make her second brother drunk.
He looked quite strong, but he couldn’t even compare to the two weak scholars!
He even said that he was going to drink second brother’s wine with the boy in black next to him. Both of them were really bad at drinking!
The Emperor could feel third aunt’s strong dislike for him. He felt wronged and said, ” “Third sister, you can’t blame me for this. Blame your second brother for being too good at acting, really. Pretending to be a pig to eat a Tiger, that’s him.”
Gu Xin asked curiously,’uncle ye, what’s my father pretending about? he has always been a good drinker. he has been drinking for as long as i can remember.”
the emperor waved his hand, his face inscrutable. ” “Your father always pretends to be a bad person, then secretly studies, waiting for an opportunity to soar! In the past, he was a bad gambler and a bad drinker, right?”
Gu Xin nodded her head.
The Emperor had an “I knew it” expression.”Did he suddenly change for the better before the new year? did he stop drinking and gambling? You’re even starting to study and practice martial arts?”
Gu Xin nodded her head again with a face full of surprise, ” “How did you know?”
The Emperor said proudly,”I’ve seen too many people who pretend to be pigs to eat Tigers!” They pretended to be harmless to the outside, but they were actually full of energy! This kind of person is usually provoked by something and can’t beat the other party in a short time, so he deliberately shows weakness to numb the other party, and then secretly stores power. When the time is right, he will soar into the sky and kill the other party in one blow!”
Cai Xiaolian& thought,”you make it sound like it’s true. If you hadn’t sent someone to the village to investigate Gu shouxin’s matter yesterday, we would have believed you.”
The mother and daughter felt that if they couldn’t continue being the Emperor, they probably wouldn’t have starved to death. They could even earn money by telling stories.
Third aunt Gu, who knew a little about her brother’s past, and Gu Xin, who didn’t know anything, believed the emperor’s words and listened to him seriously.
xue qianyu and eunuch fu were amazed. on their way here from the capital, they had also rested in other prefectures for a day or two. they had also met people that the emperor was interested in, but it had only been for a short while. it was not like the gu family now, where the emperor had even started to tell stories and tease people.
Could the Gu family be the relatives of the royal family who had led a wandering life? he got along so well with the emperor.
The Emperor saw that the two of them were happy to hear this and continued, ” yesterday, I talked to brother Gu. With his level, this year’s capital and village examinations are not a problem. Next year’s general examination and court examination are completely possible. He has made full preparations over the years and intends to pass the six aeons and send himself directly to the Emperor. His future is infinitely bright!
Only the Emperor would dare to say such words.
Third aunt Gu knew more about it because her father had taken the imperial examination. She asked in confusion, ” “Brother ye, is my second brother really that powerful? You’re probably just playing with us!”
The Emperor laughed: ” third sister, you are already a scholar’s wife. My scholar third brother-in-law has never told you about brother Gu’s abilities? ”
“How did you know that I am a scholar’s wife?” third aunt Gu was stunned.
didn’t someone greet you just now? ” the Emperor asked. they called you scholar Guo’s house, lady boss, and even scholar’s wife!
