Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 337 Chapter Stupid Gu Tingye
The reason why Li An refused was because he was ready to participate in the reform.

Putting the land in the name of a person is also a kind of land annexation.

It's just that the harm is relatively small, but for the court, the impact is even greater.

After all, when landlords and gentry annex land, they still have to pay taxes, and it is the people who suffer.

However, this kind of affiliation is to avoid taxes, which is naturally more harmful to the court.

This will have to change sooner or later with future reforms.

If you avoid taxes through affiliation, you will inevitably give others a leg up.

Li An is not short of this money, so there is no need at all.

After all, the elders of Lijia Village have limited knowledge and do not know whether what Li An said is true or false.

But since Li An has said so, it's hard for them to say anything.

With that said, Gu Tingye told Li An what Granny Chang had said.

When Gu Tingye heard this, the smile on his face froze, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's not that kind of thing."

"Thank you." Li An said gratefully.

At the request of Li Nan and Liu, Li An also invited Gu Tingye to his home for a meal.

"As an outsider, I can't say much about this kind of thing, but I think what Grandma Chang said makes sense. When your father first married your mother-in-law, there were indeed some problems with his attitude toward your mother-in-law. But that was not what he wanted after all. It's normal to be a little colder. But it had been so many years since your father's death, and your father and your mother had already had their second child, which shows that he had no reason to kill him. " Li An said.

The fact that Chen Yan could come to apologize meant that Gu Tingye had already sent someone to take action, otherwise Chen Yan would not have come to apologize.

When we left, everyone was talking about it.

After finally eating, Gu Tingye made an excuse to leave.

Li An shook his head secretly when he heard this. When he watched the drama before, he thought Gu Tingye was very stupid in the early stage.

I can only explain it to the people in Lijiacun.

"Then when I asked about my mother, my father became furious and refused to mention it, and his attitude towards me over the years. How to explain it?" Gu Tingye asked in return.

"What should I prepare? Grandma Chang has agreed to accompany me to Bianjing and can leave at any time." Gu Tingye said.

"What about you, are you ready?" Li An nodded and asked.

Li An looked at Gu Tingye seriously and said, "The last time I saw you, I felt that you had something on your mind, but I was busy at that time and didn't bother to ask more questions."

Li An stopped his parents and took Gu Tingye out the door.

"Why are we so polite?" Gu Tingye said with a smile: "I have arranged everything else, and we will start taking action after we leave Yangzhou. You went to Bianjing, and with the previous threats, they will definitely not dare to How about your family?"

He didn't want to say these words, but Gu Tingye helped him a lot this time. If he didn't say it, his conscience would be uneasy.

When he was a child, he was deceived by Xiao Qin, and when he was older, he was deceived by Mannia.

During the dinner, Li Nan was very enthusiastic about Liu, which made Gu Tingye a little uncomfortable.

When the people of Lijia Village heard the news, they were naturally very dissatisfied.

Li An didn't care and stayed in Lijia Village for a day, and the family returned to Yangzhou the next day.

It's understandable that Xiao Qin's rank is higher, but it's really stupid to be deceived by someone like Mannia.

And she is a bit too fussy about her mother.

But after hearing Gu Tingye's rhetorical question, Li An could understand to some extent.

The education of strict fathers and loving mothers handed down by the Han people for thousands of years is always difficult for children to understand.

Gu Tingye could not understand his father's good intentions and developed a rebellious mentality, which made Gu Yankai become more and more harsh on him, and the conflict between father and son became deeper and deeper.

If there is no biological mother, Gu Tingye will naturally understand it when he grows up. However, the death of the biological mother gave all this a reasonable explanation.

In order to cover up what she had done and to prevent Gu Tingye from knowing the truth, Xiao Qin had been cleaning up people who knew the inside story.

Gu Tingye thought that all this was done by Gu Yankai, which gave Gu Tingye an illusion.

Gu Yankai was forced to marry his mother, so he never wanted to see his mother.

She even covered up what happened after her mother died.

But his presence reminded Gu Yankai of what happened before, so he didn't like to see him either.

It's no wonder that Gu Tingye thinks so, but it's caused by the conflicts between father and son for many years and the Xiao Qin family's plot behind the scenes.

Li An pondered for a while and said: "Your eldest brother has been in poor health since he was a child. He has been to famous doctors, but they are all helpless and say that he will not live to be twenty. This is no secret in Bianjing."

"If it were you, as a father, would you want to raise a legitimate second son and inherit the family business?"

"The reason why your father is so strict with you is because he wants to train you to be his heir."

As the saying goes, the emperor loves the eldest son, and the people love the youngest son.

In fact, this represents the different concepts that different classes have for heirs.

The emperor represents a wealthy family. Because the wealthy families strictly follow the eldest son inheritance system, when there are many heirs, they will focus on cultivating their eldest son.

On the contrary, the requirements for other legitimate sons and concubines are not so strict.

On the one hand, there are limited energy resources, and on the other hand, they are worried about causing trouble between brothers.

But ordinary people are different. Because their family conditions are limited, the older ones get married early and separate.

In the end, the only one left by his side was his youngest son.

Therefore, ordinary people rely more on their younger sons.

That's why there is such a saying.

Although Gu Tingyu has never died, he has been in poor health since he was a child. All the famous doctors he saw said he would not live to be twenty, so Gu Yankai naturally wanted to train a new successor.

This is also the reason why he is strict with Gu Tingye.

With Gu Tingye's intelligence, it was impossible for him to fail to think of this, but he was still young before, and now he is at the top of his game.

Now that Li An said this, he would naturally understand.

"Then why is he unwilling to mention my mother?" Gu Tingye asked after being silent for a while.

"I don't know about this either." Li An shook his head.

In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand, after all, what the Gu family did in the beginning was not very honorable.

Even most of the wealthy Lord Bianjing family today don't know that Gu Yankai married a Bai family between the Da Qin family and the Xiao Qin family.

As a man, Gu Yankai naturally didn't want to mention this kind of thing.

However, it was difficult for him to say this directly.

"However, when anything happens, those with vested interests are the most suspect." Li An said.

"Vested interests?" Gu Tingye looked at Li An with some doubts after hearing this.

"It's your mother's death and your reputation. Who will benefit the most." Li An explained.

After hearing this, Gu Tingye thought for a moment, looked at Li An in disbelief, and said angrily: "Impossible! Ziqian, I treat you as a friend, but you deliberately slander my mother."
