Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 125: Disheartened (please subscribe)

Gu Tingye felt like the world was spinning, and he opened his eyes in confusion.

"You beast, you still have the nerve to drink and sleep. Do you know how much trouble you have caused?" Gu Yankai cursed angrily.

Gu Tingye's eyes regained their vitality and he said, "Failure in the exam is considered to be causing trouble? Doesn't this Gu family's family law allow people to live?"

Gu Yan overturned the table angrily, pointed at Gu Tingye and said, "Who is that Yang Wuduan? He went to Beijing to take the exam, but he was addicted to Huajieliuxiang and failed every time. He just did some idle lyrics and music, and drank a little. He went so far as to talk nonsense, saying that it would be better to place his love on Fengyue than to pass the imperial examination. The officials themselves said that he could only take part in the imperial examination at the age of 50. But you are talking nonsense about such a thing. "

Gu Tingye sat up and said, "Mr. Wu Tuan, I admire you very much for being such a genius. Could it be that my father is going to beat me just because of this?"

"I can't kill you, you beast." Gu Yan angrily kicked Gu Tingye to the ground and shouted: "You are talking nonsense outside and complaining about Yang Wutuan, and it has already reached the ears of the officials. Not only They kicked you off the top three, and also said that you, like that Yang Wutuan, can only take part in the imperial examination at the age of 50. If you usually stay at home and don't go to those Goulanwase houses to talk nonsense, how could you end up like this? The situation?"

Gu Yan was angry not because Gu Tingye failed the exam, but because Gu Tingye had angered the officials with his nonsense.

The Gu family is a prince's house, so even if he fails, he can find a shadow official for Gu Tingye.

But if you anger the officials and make a mark in their hearts, they will not be able to ask for help from the officials in the future.

Gu Tingye was stunned when he heard this, his face full of disbelief.

"I see."

Although Gu Tingye was ordinary and undisciplined, he was not a fool. He only complained about Yang Wuduan once in front of Gu Tingyu.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingye got up from the ground and ran out.

He wanted to go to Gu Tingyu and ask why he was harmed.

Gu Tingye rushed all the way to the courtyard where Gu Tingyu lived, and rushed into the house regardless of the obstruction of his servants.

Gu Tingyu was drinking medicine. When he saw Gu Tingye come in, before he could speak, Gu Tingye quickly stepped forward, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and lifted him up.

"Did you say that?" Gu Tingye asked.

"What did I say?" Gu Tingyu said angrily after being so humiliated.

"Second uncle, let go." Gu Tingyu's wife, Shao, saw that her husband's face was not right, so she supported him and begged Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye ignored him, stared at Gu Tingyu and said, "I once said in front of you that the officials were too mean to Yang Wutuan and ruined his life. Now that these words have been spread, who else is there if not you? Say, Why do you want to harm me?”

Gu Yankai, who came later, saw this scene and shouted: "Let your brother go quickly."

Gu Tingyu struggled several times but couldn't get away. He gasped and said, "I swear to God, this will never happen."

"You bastard, you go around drinking and drinking and speaking freely. Do you still want to blame your brother?" Gu Yan shouted.

Gu Tingye looked into Gu Tingyu's eyes and said word for word: "I didn't say this outside, I said it when I was practicing calligraphy in the study. At that time, I was not yet 12 years old, and I saw my elder brother's handwriting. Okay, I will practice calligraphy with you every day. When I said this, no one else was present except you."

"It's not me, it's really not me. Let me go." Gu Tingyu struggled.

"Second uncle, please show mercy." Shao cried and cried: "My husband is weak and sick. He cannot take the imperial examination and official career. He has never argued with you. He framed you, what good does it do to you?"

Gu Tingye let go of Gu Tingyu and said coldly: "I'm also surprised, brother, why do you always frame me? Ever since I was a child, you have always been at odds with me. If you fall down on purpose, you say it was me who pushed you. When you are sick, you say it was you. You were frightened by me. When you were five years old, you took your father's ring and said I stole it. My father beat me indiscriminately and beat me every time. Why don't you think about why this brother framed me? younger brother."

"Shut up!" Gu Yan yelled: "Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with your brother. Even if it is what he said, there must be something for him to say. If you had not said such crazy words, he would have I want to spread the word, but I have nothing to say.”

"So that's what my father thought."

Gu Tingye turned around with a disappointed look on his face and looked at his father: "Does father really think so?"

When Gu Yankai saw Gu Tingye's appearance, his eyes flickered, but soon turned indifferent, and said: "You don't need to act like you are wronged by me. You are wrong. Whenever you make a mistake, when have you ever admitted it? Every time I blame it on your brother and other cousins. They are the ones who cause trouble every time. Have you never gotten into any trouble in your life?"

He was not unaware of Gu Tingyu's false accusation against Gu Tingye.

But for him, the palms and backs of his hands are all flesh.

Gu Tingyu had been frail and sick since he was a child. Many famous doctors were consulted, but they all said that he was not a good candidate for longevity.

When he found out, Gu Tingyu's hatred for Gu Tingye was too deep, and it was not easy to untie it.

Gu Tingyu's ability to survive to this day is all supported by hatred. If he tells what happened back then, Gu Tingyu will believe him, and he will probably just go like this out of shame.

When he first hit Gu Tingye, he didn't know that Gu Tingyu was wrongly accusing Gu Tingye.

When he found out later, he still beat Gu Tingye.

He just hopes to use this method to reduce Gu Tingyu's hatred for Gu Tingye.

"Okay, okay." Gu Tingye looked at Gu Tingyu, then at his father, and said, "I understand, I understand everything. Even if I have mouths all over my body, I can't resist my father's partiality. .”

After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room without any further explanation.

Gu Yan opened his mouth, but finally said nothing. He looked at Gu Tingyu and walked out a little lonely.

Gu Tingyu suddenly felt that his father's last look was very complicated, which gave him a bad feeling. Could it be that his father noticed something?
Gu Tingyu soon gave up the idea. What Gu Tingye said was indeed what he did, but Yang's unprovoked incident was indeed not revealed by him.

Although he hates Gu Tingye, this hatred comes from his mother.

The blood between him and Gu Tingye was thicker than water. No matter how much he hated her, he couldn't be cruel enough to really kill Gu Tingye, otherwise Gu Tingye would have died long ago.

Gu Tingyu just wanted to drive Gu Tingye out of the Gu family and could not inherit the title.

So who actually said this?
A flash of light flashed in Gu Tingyu's eyes. Gu Tingye had only told him about this.

And he only told Xiao Qin.

He suddenly discovered that this aunt, the woman who was his stepmother, seemed not that simple.

……

Gu Tingye sadly returned to the yard where Mannia was placed, and drank to soothe his sorrows.

After seeing this, Grandma Chang comforted her for a long time, and Gu Tingye felt better and returned to the room drunkenly.

"Erro, are you alright?"

Mannia had just put her son and daughter to sleep when she saw Gu Tingye coming in drunkenly and quickly stepped forward to support him.

Gu Tingye hugged Mannia and said, "Mannia, how about we, a family of five, find a place to live quietly."

Mannia's expression froze and she said softly: "As long as Erlang is by my side, I can live any life. But what about your parents? Aren't you going to return to the Marquis Mansion in the future?"

"I won't go back. That home will be the same with or without me. Instead of being looked down upon there, it's better to find a place and live a stable life." Gu Tingye said.

This time he was completely disappointed with that family. There was no hope for the imperial examination. He offended the official family again, and there was no hope for Yin Guan.

At this moment, Gu Tingye was completely disheartened. He just wanted to leave Bianjing and stay away from this sad place.

"Okay, okay, I will listen to Erlang. If you drink too much, I will help you wash up and go to bed to rest. We will talk about the rest tomorrow." Mannia said.

After waiting for Gu Tingye to wash up, Mannia poured the water and when she came back, she saw that Gu Tingye had fallen asleep.Mannia sat beside the bed and looked at Gu Tingye, her face gloomy and uncertain.

The reason why she chased Gu Tingye thousands of miles to Bailu Cave was because of Gu Tingye's identity.

Gu Tingye had promised her before that when he won the prize this time, he would beg his family to let her in.

Mannia knew in her heart that an actress like her and a noble family like the Gu family were not qualified to be a concubine, let alone a real wife.

If Gu Tingye wins, it may still be possible, so he has been waiting with peace of mind.

However, now that Gu Tingye had made the officials angry, he could not take the exam until he was 50 years old, making the imperial examination completely hopeless.

Even so, Mannia did not give up the idea of ​​entering Houmen.

Therefore, Gu Tingye wanted to leave Bianjing, which she could not allow.

Mannia thought for a long time, thought of a way, and smiled.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Tingye got up and got dressed with Mannia's help.

"I will take the stone to Gu's house in a while to move things over. From now on, I will live a peaceful life with you, Ronger, and Changer."

Mannia was a little worried and said, "I'm scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid that if you have a falling out with the Marquis Mansion, what should I do if they beat you or imprison you? How about we consider the long term." Mannia advised.

Gu Tingye said disdainfully: "How can those few people from the Hou's Mansion stop me? What's more, I still have a stone. He grew up in Caobang and is very skilled. In the worst case, I won't be named Gu in the future. Let's Wouldn’t it be nice to find a paradise with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where men farm and women weave?”

"Yeah." Mannia forced a smile.

Since she couldn't persuade Gu Tingye, she could only follow the method she thought of yesterday.

As for living a life where men farm and women weave, she has never thought about it.

Only a prince like Gu Tingye can yearn for this kind of life.

A person like her from a lower-class background has already had enough of that kind of life.

"I'm going to the Hou Mansion to retrieve my mother's relics. This matter must not be leaked. You and grandma pack your things, and we will leave when I come back." Gu Tingye said.

"Well, as long as I'm with Erlang, anything will be fine." Mannia smiled.

Gu Tingye hugged her, kissed her on the face, and said, "I'm leaving, wait until I come back."

After saying that, he turned around and left the house, taking the stone with him out of the yard.

Mannia stood at the door and watched them leave the yard. After waiting for a while, she changed her clothes and left the house.

As soon as she reached the entrance of the courtyard, Grandma Chang came out of another room. Seeing her about to go out, she stopped her and said, "There are still a lot of things in the house that have not been packed. Why are you running out? Go and pack them." , so as not to have to wait for the young master to come back."

"Yes." Mannia had no choice but to nod.

"Sell candy!"

At this moment, there was a shout from a salesman outside.

Sister Rong, who was playing in the yard, ran to the door and shouted: "Mom, I want to eat candy."

Mannia walked over, knelt down and said, "Sister Rong, I'm weird. Once everything is done, I'll go buy you some candies."

While he was talking, he watched Grandma Chang and the two maids quietly pull the door bolt open without looking here.

Then he pulled Sister Rong to Brother Chang, told them to play in the yard, and then entered the house.

After her mother left, Sister Rong played with her brother for a while and heard shouting coming from outside again.

Turning around, she saw that the courtyard door had been blown open by the wind. Her eyes lit up, she opened the door and slipped out.

Grandma Chang was busy for a while, but when she raised her head and didn't see Sister Rong, she hurriedly called out.

Mannia heard the noise in the house and ran out quickly and asked Brother Chang, "Where is your sister?"

Brother Chang pointed to the door, and Mannia quickly opened the courtyard door and ran out.

After walking out a few steps, she saw Sister Rong. Mannia covered her mouth and hugged her.

When Grandma Chang chased her out, there was no one anywhere.

Grandma Chang got Gu Tingye's explanation and knew that someone was looking for Mannia's whereabouts, so she quickly chased her.

However, she was old and out of breath after running for a while, and she was worried that Gu Tingye would not find anyone when he came back, so she had no choice but to go back.

Mannia had already inquired about the location of Ningyuan Hou Mansion and took Sister Rong all the way to the door of Gu's house.

Kneeling next to Sister Rong, he pointed at the gate of the Gu family and said, "Sister Rong, look at how powerful and majestic you are. You are destined to be a member of the Marquis' Mansion when you are born."

The Gu family's concierge had noticed Mannia a long time ago and wanted to drive her away, but after hearing these words, he quickly went in to report her.

After Xiao Qin got the news, she came to the side door, opened it a crack, and took a look.

Mannia estimated that the time was almost up, so she deliberately threw away the golden lock that Gu Tingye made for Sister Rong, and left with Sister Rong.

"She dropped something, go pick it up." After seeing it, Xiao Qin ordered the grandmother behind her.

"Yes."

Grandma trotted forward, picked up the things, and handed them to Xiao Qin.

Xiao Qin took it and took a look and said with a smile: "I have been looking for Erlang's outer room for so long but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door."

She was worried about making a mistake before, but now she saw the golden lock and was completely relieved.

The decorations on golden locks are different for each family, and this thing is not a waist badge symbolizing status. No one can fake it.

"Go, send someone to catch up and bring him back." Xiao Qin said.

Once it is confirmed that Gu Tingye has an extramarital affair and a child, Gu Yankai will definitely be very disappointed in Gu Tingye.

Gu Yankai was very harsh on Gu Tingye, and Gu Tingye felt that it was because Gu Yankai didn't like him that he was like this.

However, Xiao Qin knew that Gu Yankai was training Gu Tingye as his successor because Gu Tingyu was weak and sick.

Only by making Gu Yankai become more and more disappointed with Gu Tingye could her son have a chance to inherit the title.
