Space at hand: Pick up a prince to farm

Chapter 1024
Gu Jiayu came out of the Lu family and left Shangjing the next day, heading straight to Jiangnan.

Moving the family to the capital city was a plan that had been made before, but the family had been hesitant and hesitant.

After Gu Jiayu returned from going to the capital, she began to convince her parents.

"Right now, the Gu family has reached its limit in Jiangnan. If we continue to stay in Jiangnan, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction."

The master of the Gu family fell into deep thought after listening to Gu Jiayu's words.

After a long while, he continued to speak, "Even if I tell you this, how can we get a foothold if our family moves to Shangjing?"

Their Gu family was already at its peak in Jiangnan. How could they be willing to suddenly leave the place where they had lived for so many years?
I still feel uncomfortable after going to Shangjing, not to mention that it is a place where a brick can hit several officials. If they are not careful there, their Gu family's foundation will be destroyed.

The risk is simply too great.

He dared not take the risk.

But Gu Jiayu had already thought of these concerns before, so he naturally had a way to persuade them.

"The biggest problem we face in Jiangnan right now is lack of confidence. Dad, have you ever thought about why?"

"For many years, my Gu family has only had people who have been in business, and no one has been an official." This is the biggest problem that the Gu family is facing now. Over the years, the younger generations of the Gu family have been considered very outstanding, but no one has ever had an advantage in doing anything. , all can only do business.

This is also the biggest reason why there is a gap between their Gu family and other families in Jiangnan.

Other families who have made enough money from doing business have begun to seek out the younger generations of the family to learn literacy and become officials in the imperial examination. Although there are no celebrities, they can still find an official position. With the support of the officialdom, they can do more in the future. Everything becomes easier.

Only their Gu family didn't.

Mr. Gu understands this, and Gu Jiayu is also prepared to use this as an argument, "Since you know, why don't you want to seize this opportunity? The third brother is the only one in our family who is talented in reading. We should do what we should do in our spare time It is to create the best conditions for him so that he can practice in the best academy and then take the imperial examination. This is the right way."

"Going to the best academy in the capital, you know, it's not a place you can get into with money. It would be too risky for us to go there with our whole family just for this little fantasy."

Mr. Gu is considered a conservative and does not do anything that is uncertain.

Gu Jiayu sighed silently. If his father hadn't been so stubborn, they would have arrived in the capital long ago.

This time he came back with the absolute intention of going to the capital. Now seeing his father like this, he was a little impatient, "If you keep doing this, our Gu family can still be stable in Jiangnan for a few more years, but I can guarantee that the Gu family Once it is in my hands, it will almost go downhill, and I will be a major sinner of the Gu family. Your calculation is really good."

When speaking, Gu Jiayu was slightly sarcastic.

This attitude undoubtedly made Mr. Gu angry, "You traitor! What are you talking about!"

Mr. Gu slapped his palm on the table and pointed at Gu Jiayu with his fingers trembling, "What do you mean my calculations are good? Am I this kind of person in your heart? I don't agree with going to Beijing, but it's just for my own safety. Gu family, how old are you? Do you really think you understand the dangers of this world?"

Thinking back then, he was full of passion and wanted the Gu family to continue to prosper in his hands, so he rushed forward. Who knew he would stumble. If his father hadn't been there at that time, the Gu family would have been destroyed. On his hands.

It's also because after that incident, he has just been doing things steadily in these years.

Now that his son said this, it was the most uncomfortable thorn in his heart.Gu Jiayu looked indifferent, "You know best what our Gu family has been like in these years. We are no longer moving forward. If we don't take a gamble, it will really be the path I mentioned. You can think about it yourself. , I know an adult who lives in the capital, and if I ask him for help, my third brother should be able to find a good academy. Think about it carefully, I will go back first."

I rushed back from Shangjing all the way, just to deal with this matter as soon as possible, and I hardly got much rest.

Now that the words have come to this, it is useless for him to continue talking. If his father really can't figure it out, then it is not impossible for him... to go to Beijing alone.

Gu Jiayu left, but Mr. Gu remained untouched for a long time, thinking over and over again in his mind what his son had just said.

He thought of his experiences over the years, his son's high spirits, and the Gu family's past.

Is it really the only way to go to the capital?

In the end, he walked outside with his hands behind his back, all the way to his youngest son's yard.

The sound of reading aloud in the yard stopped him in his tracks.

His three sons were all his pride, but this youngest son really surprised him. None of his Gu family had liked reading and writing for so many years, but this son was the only one who liked it.

They were naturally supportive and wanted to give their youngest son the best future. As a father, he was naturally merciless, but if he really wanted to risk the entire Gu family's future for his son... he didn't dare.

He sighed silently and turned to leave.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night, and the same was true for Gu Jiayu. He already knew the result in his heart, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope.

The next day, Mr. Gu found him in Qingchen and said, "Boss, how about we not go to the capital?"

This time he was having a good discussion with him, and these words of good discussion completely shattered Gu Jiayu's last bit of hope.

His father didn't know that this was not the result of his sudden impulse, but the result of his careful consideration. Because of this idea, he dared to talk to Mr. Lu about what he had said before. Now his father's decision was a direct one. His last hope was shattered.

He smiled bitterly, "Is this the last result you had in mind?"

Mr. Gu nodded silently, "I don't dare to risk the Gu family."

Mr. Gu did not dare to look at Gu Jiayu's face, so he could only continue, "Can you...can you take your third brother to study in the capital?"

This was the best result he could think of.

"Then what?" Gu Jiayu asked back, "I took my third brother to the capital to study, and you will continue to take the Gu family here, and then let your third brother return to Jiangnan after he has passed the imperial examination."

"Why not?" This is the best plan for Mr. Gu.

Gu Jiayu no longer wanted to say anything about his father's stubbornness, "You have your own plans, and I have my own persistence. If the third brother wants to go to the capital to study, the Gu family must move."
