Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 112 Questioning
  "How is it?" Li An smiled.

"Although it is somewhat different from the official history, as a storybook, it is indeed very attractive." Sheng Changbai said.

"Yes, I know that history is fascinating." Qi Heng sighed.

"It's so precise that if I hadn't been familiar with history books, I would have felt that some of the things in this storybook really happened." Gu Tingye said.

Although Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng had read a lot of history books, they could only say that they generally knew some things in history. Apart from specifically looking up the lives of the characters, they did not know much about many things.

Among the few people, the one who knows the most about history is Gu Tingye.

For generals, history is actually the best military book.

Li Shimin said that taking history as a mirror can help us understand gains and losses.

For generals, looking at the battle examples in history can help them learn how to use troops.

The Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, from the crusade against Dong Zhuo to the unification of the Three Kingdoms, lasted for nearly a hundred years of war. This period of history can be said to be something that military commanders must watch and study.

According to official history, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu were not sworn sworn sworn brothers. Guan and Zhang were recruited by Liu Bei when he responded to the imperial court's call for rebellion.

If it weren't for this, he really felt that the storyteller just talked about official history.

Li An laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, joking, this is one of the four great masterpieces of later generations, how can it be bad?

Of course, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not without its problems. For example, some people in later generations have studied it and said that Guan Yu passed five levels and killed six generals, which is too ridiculous, because he went in a big circle, and Sima Yi was not on the battlefield when there was an empty city plan. etc.

But as a romance, it was just a storybook in ancient times, and some logical errors were normal.

"Zi Qian, I just listened to the beginning. It's not satisfying at all. Please tell us more." Gu Tingye said.

"I can tell you, but for me, it's far behind those storytellers. I guess you won't listen." Li An said with a smile.

After all, the same story can look very different to different people.

Storytelling is a profession, and it does not mean just telling a story.

However, Gu Tingye and the others wanted to hear the rest of the story and urged Li An to tell it.

Li An had no choice but to take the three of them upstairs and tell them a story.

Facts have proved that Li An does not have the talent for storytelling. After speaking for a while, the three of them lost interest in listening.

There was no way, Li An was very dry when he spoke. If they hadn't heard the scholar say it, they might still be able to listen to it. How could they still listen to this comparison?

The three of them sat for a while, then said goodbye and left.

……

Gu Tingye returned home in a carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage, the guard standing at the door ran over and saluted: "Second Young Master, the Marquis is back. Please go home and go to the main hall."

"What? My father is back?" Gu Tingye was stunned when he heard this.

Deep down in his heart, Gu Tingye actually didn't want to believe that his mother's death was related to his father.

I came back this time to secretly investigate what happened that year.

When he came back, he learned that his father was not at home, and Gu Tingye breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been secretly investigating these days, but what happened back then seems to have been deliberately erased, and nothing can be learned about it.

He talked to the old people in the house, but these people either didn't know anything about it, or they just ignored it.

This made Gu Tingye's heart sink, and he had to believe that his mother's death was really related to his father.

"Second son."

Seeing Gu Tingye stunned, the guard shouted.

"I see."

Gu Tingye came to his senses, took a deep breath and walked in.

As the founding lord of the country, the Gu family was rewarded by the founding society with Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, covering an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres.

There was a long distance from the gate to the main hall, but today Gu Tingye felt that the distance was too short.

Arriving at the door of the main hall, Gu Tingye stopped, feeling the urge to escape.

He was afraid of meeting his father and couldn't help but ask him about what happened back then.

Gu Yankai was talking to Xiao Qin. From the corner of his eye, he saw Gu Tingye stopping at the door, and said angrily: "You bastard, don't let me in yet!" Upon hearing this, Gu Tingye walked in a little reluctantly and saluted: " I’ve met my father and my mother.”

"You ran away from home without saying hello and haven't returned home for several months. Do you still think of me as your father?" Gu Yankai asked with an ugly face.

"Master, please calm down. Erlang went to Yangzhou for business, not for fun. Didn't I tell you everything?" Xiao Qin pulled Gu Yan away, persuaded him softly, and turned around He said to Gu Tingye: "Erlang, hurry up, admit your mistake to your father, and this matter will be over."

Gu Tingye lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing him like this, Gu Yankai became even more angry and shouted: "Don't speak for him. He is going to inherit his grandfather's family business. Am I still going to support him? He didn't even say hello, and even more so when he came back." Since he has been away from home all day, he must have gone to Goulanwashe to fool around with others."

"Master, just say less." Xiao Qin pulled Gu Yan away.

Gu Tingye raised his head, looked at his father, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "If I tell my father, I'm afraid he won't let me go."

Gu Yankai was startled, looked at Gu Tingye in confusion and said, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Dad, can you tell me how my mother Bai died?" Gu Tingye asked.

Gu Yankai's attitude just now made Gu Tingye feel that Gu Yankai did not want him to inherit the Bai family business because he was afraid that he would learn the cause of his mother's death.

So he couldn't bear it anymore and questioned Gu Yankai.

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Gu Yankai's eyes, and he said, "Didn't I tell you before that your mother died in childbirth? It's been so long, why are you bringing this up?"

When Bai learned about Da Qin's affairs, she ran to question Gu Yankai, accidentally fell down and died in childbirth.

Gu Yankai didn't know that Xiao Qin was involved in this, he just thought it was a discussion by servants and was overheard by Bai.

For this reason, after Bai's death, he angrily purged some of the servants in the house.

This was also the reason why the servants who knew some of the inside information kept it secret when Gu Tingye inquired about it.

The reason why his eyes were a little unnatural was because if he explained in detail what happened back then, he would definitely talk about the fact that he divorced his wife and married the Bai family for the sake of the Bai family's money.

This kind of thing is inherently disgraceful, let him say it no matter how he says it.

Gu Tingye didn't know this. He caught the unnatural look in Gu Yankai's eyes and became more and more sure that his mother's silk thread was related to Gu Yankai.

So he mocked: "My father doesn't let me inherit the Bai family business, is he afraid that I will know that my mother was killed by my father?"

"Asshole, what nonsense are you talking about!" Gu Yankai stared at Gu Tingye with a livid face.

Although he did take his anger out on Bai because of Da Qin's death when Bai entered the house, he just refused to sleep with her.

From beginning to end, he never thought about Bai's death.

After Bai's death, he discovered that he had some feelings for Bai without knowing it, but he never realized it.

However, Gu Yan's open expression, in Gu Tingye's eyes, was a sign of embarrassment and anger.

Gu Tingye sneered and said, "I know everything that happened back then. My father always talks to me about family, country and world. I didn't expect that my father would divorce his wife and marry my mother for money. Don't you think it's ironic?"

"Snapped!"

Gu Yan slapped him angrily and shouted, "Is this how you talk to me?"

"Dad, what are you doing, are you afraid that others will say it? Haha, that's right, who are you? You are Ningyuan Marquis. Of course, your face is important. If you marry a businessman's daughter, you will become a joke in Bianjing. Naturally, you want me to Mother is dead."

Gu Tingye covered his face with one hand, looked at Gu Yankai and mocked.

"The traitor, the traitor!"

Gu Yankai's chest heaved violently, and he could hardly breathe.

"Master, calm down first."

Xiao Qin quickly stepped forward and opened Gu Yan's back, looked at Gu Tingye and shouted: "Erlang, quickly admit your mistake to your father!"

"I'm not wrong. What's wrong with me?" Gu Tingye said.

"Come here, bring me your family law. I'm going to beat this traitor to death." Gu Yan opened his hand and pointed at Gu Tingye with trembling hands.

"Do you think I will still kneel there and beat you stupidly like before?" After Gu Tingye finished speaking, he turned around and ran out.

"Come here, catch that traitor quickly." Gu Yan shouted.

"Master, there must be some misunderstanding between Erlang. You can let him calm down first and explain to him later. There is no overnight feud between father and son." Xiao Qin said softly.
