Gu Shuyu sighed, covered his forehead and closed his eyes and recalled what happened when he was a child.

He did not like to learn martial arts since he was a child. He thought that martial arts were too rude and not as romantic as a literati. He could tell the world with a pen, and he could speak with a sharp mouth without any shame. Therefore, he repeatedly said that he would not practice martial arts until his father was disappointed and gave up completely.

He devoted himself to studying literature, and later entered the Imperial College, and his grades were considered to be overwhelmed. Although he was not proud and complacent, he still had a sense of arrogance in his heart, thinking that he was superior and better than others. It was not until he failed the scientific examination that the scientific examination was not easy to walk, and there were too many people in this world who were better than him.

Knowing that he had passed the exam, he begged his father to let him become an official in the court.

Then what? Haha, my father died, he was awarded the title. No one told him about the officialdom. He had to explore it all by himself. He no longer had the capital to be willful. He could only walk among various factions carefully. He climbed tremblingly for more than 40 years and finally got to this position. However, he did not expect that his son who was least optimistic about the least was passed by him in just over ten years, and still followed the martial arts road he looked down upon the most.

Dingyuan Hou, how might he be in the Great Wei back then? He held heavy troops and had military power. Who dared to challenge him except a few people in the court and the country? Now? He is just a marginal person, saying that he is a minister, but he has no real power. His power is concentrated in the hands of the Shangshu. Apart from this title, there is really nothing else.

If he had followed his father to practice martial arts seriously, would he be...

Forget it, it’s no point in thinking about these things at this time, it’s just Huai'er..., Alas! What a pity! Gu An is not the legitimate son, otherwise the Dingyuan Hou Mansion would definitely return to its former glory.

Gu Shuyu sat in front of the desk and lamented again and again, but Gu An pushed Tang and Gu Yan. Gu Zhehan returned to Baifang Garden, and then asked Wei Yi to arrange someone to monitor the people in the mansion. The family of four closed the door and began to discuss the future.

Gu An tapped a few cases with his hand, "Today's matter has been calculated for the time being, but it's hard to say in the future. If Yan'er wins tomorrow, there will be no problem. If she loses..., the old lady will not let her go, and the people of the world will not let Yan'er go, so we have to plan and take precautions."

Gu An settled for a moment, frowned and continued, "I think it's best for us to go to Changzhou. It's far away from war. Only Japanese pirates will go ashore to harass each year, and the impact is not great. It's beneficial for us to go out to sea to do business. We must earn a lot of money. We still have a group of secret guards to support, but it won't work if there is less money."

Gu Zhehan nodded, "Dad is right, I also think Changzhou is better than border."

Gu Zhehan agreed, and Tang also agreed to go to Changzhou, but only Gu Yan did not speak.

The three of them discussed for a long time but couldn't see Gu Yan speak out, and looked at her in confusion.

"What does Yan'er mean? Is Changzhou not good?"

Gu An walked closer to Gu Yan and half-squatted down and stared at her.

Gu Yan shook her head, "Do you just have no confidence in me?"

Gu An smiled, "Where is it? My daughter is so powerful, no worse than anyone else, how can she not have confidence? It's just that some things still have to be done, just in case."

"I understand, but I don't agree to go to Changzhou. There are very few wars there, but it is not conducive to the training of secret guards. There are fewer wars and chaos, which means that they have fewer opportunities to take action, and their skills have regressed over time. They have been carefully trained. How much effort did they take? It's a pity that they were wasted like this. It's better to go to the border, which is the most suitable place. If it really doesn't work, we will go to Jiguanling. It's secret enough, and it's not a problem to live in more than 300 people."

Gu Yan put forward different opinions, and Gu Zhehan and Tang also felt that Gu Yan’s words were justified. It would be a pity if the secret guards trained were put aside. What if one day they could return to the capital? What if their family was in danger? Who will rely on to save them? Are those secret guards who have retreated? Isn’t this a death-seeking person?

Gu An thought for a while, "The border town is OK, but the money is not easy to make. It is located in a remote place, with low resources and a small population. It is difficult to make money there. If you go there, you have to let your uncle go to Changzhou more. If you don't, we will invest some more money in it and earn a little more."

"There is no need to invest money anymore. We have made a lot of money from sea over the years, and the annual profit is enough. Dad, let's talk about these things after the competition tomorrow. It's too early to say that now. Even if we lose, we can't leave Beijing immediately. We have to give us a few days to pack up."

Gu An thought that was the same. Although he was a little anxious, he was afraid that his daughter would be unstable due to him and would affect tomorrow's competition, so he had to let go.

Seeing that nothing happened, Gu Yan wanted to go back and have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's competition. At this time, Wei Yi came back.

"Master, Mrs. Hou asked Mr. Hou to pass the title to the uncle now. Mr. Hou agreed. In addition, when the third master comes back for the New Year, he will split up and say that while he and Mrs. Hou are still alive, they will be relieved sooner or later."

He suddenly heard this big news and stunned Gu An for a while. Then, less than a moment, Gu An burst into laughter.

"Hahaha..., it's great! It would be great if we could separate the family and live alone. I'd have stayed in this broken family for a long time. If we leave, we don't have to worry about being dragged down in the future. We can do what we want to do."

Tang and Gu Zhehan, Gu Yan was not laughing at others. They looked at Gu An, who was a little crazy and had an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

He was very sad? Although this family hurt his heart, it was also the place where he grew up since childhood. He would definitely feel uncomfortable if his biological father gave up without hesitation.

Seeing that the Tang family and the other two saw him not talking, Gu An didn't say anything, and in a blink of an eye, he put aside the matter of splitting up and discussed with them the subsequent events after the competition.

"Okay, it's too late. You all go back to bed. Yan'er will have to compete tomorrow and have to have a good rest. Those young talents are not that easy to fight. Yun'er, I have something to do. Today I go to the front yard study room to rest, so you can rest early by yourself."

Tang said nothing, smiled and nodded, watching her husband and children leave.

If you can't persuade some things, it's better to give him time and space to think clearly. If you want to do everything that your daughter can get rid of the clan, what else can they not do? Although they didn't mention it, there are secret guards everywhere in the Hou Mansion. They had already known the stupid things that Old Qu did, and they knew about them in their hearts.

Whether to do or not, they have no choice but to decide which step to do. Since my father-in-law has made a decision, it is not something they can object. Besides, it is good to leave here. It is better for a family to live a closed life than to face such terrible people as them.

Tang was not too worried about Gu An. She knew that her husband would figure it out, but it was difficult for a while. It was not for Gu Shuyu to abandon him again, but because this was the place where he was born and raised, and there were traces of his mother's existence here.

Gu Yan didn't go to comfort Gu An, not saying that she didn't know how to comfort someone at all, and even if she knew, she didn't plan to do it. She thought it was a happy thing to leave Hou Mansion and could not understand Gu An's sadness, so Gu Yan went back to the yard to sleep.

After washing up, she changed into Gu Yan's homemade pajamas and finally got on the bed with the satisfaction she had after taking a shower. Her tender little face rubbed against the pillow, and found a comfortable position and fell asleep within a minute.

The next morning, Gu Yan had breakfast in her yard and asked Shuxiang and Moxiang to push her to Tang's yard to pay her respects.

When Zhao's mother stood outside the yard and saw Gu Yan arrive, she smiled and reached out to take Gu Yan's wheelchair and whispered in her ear: "Madam is ready, and I'm going to go with the lady. Is there anything else to prepare for the lady? I'll go and arrange it for you."

Gu Yan shook her head, "No more, Mama Zhao will go together."

Mother Zhao smiled happily, agreed and pushed Gu Yan to the door, shouting into the room: "Master, Madam, Miss, come here to pay my respects."

Gu Yan looked up at the sky in confusion, and then looked at Mama Zhao again.

"My dad is here too?"

Mother Zhao paused and said with a smile: "Here, he is in the house."

Mother Zhao didn't say it in detail, but Gu Yan saw the embarrassment on her face and understood in an instant that her father must have climbed the wall last night.

Sure enough, after getting Tang's permission, Gu Yan saw the flush on Tang's face that had not yet faded and her father's satisfied smile as soon as she entered the room.

Gu Yan's eyes flashed slightly, and she did not ask her father why she appeared in her mother's house so early, giving her parents enough face. She only picked up the fruit tea from Qingsang and took a sip, and then put it aside in disgust.

Soon, Gu Zhehan also arrived. After Tang and Gu An had breakfast, the family set off to Wu'an Hou Mansion.

Gu An was very grateful that Emperor Wen of Wei gave him a holiday today, otherwise he would have to go to court first to meet with his family, so he would not see the attitude of the Hou Mansion towards his wife and children.

Gu An frowned and looked at the old Qu, glaring at Tang and Gu Yan with disdain, and turned to get on the carriage. Yu and the little Qu took an ignorant attitude towards Tang and Gu Yan, as if they had not seen them, pulled their skirts into the carriage. Several brothers from Hou Mansion ignored Gu Zhehan and led their own mounts to the front of the convoy. Gu Rui and his men were a little too much. They first ignored him and mocked Gu Yan, and then proudly stepped on the carriage.

It is worthy of being a family, all raised by the old Qu family. The problem of looking down on others is in line with each other, which is really itchy!

Gu An pinched his fingers, suppressed the urge to beat someone, and took a step to his mount.

How could Gu An's wife and children suffer this grievance? Why should a group of waste treat them like this? His wife is a first-class lady of the country, and his daughter is a county lord personally named by the emperor. Not everyone can show off her face. His son is excellent in ability and has taken the position of General Dingyuan at a young age. He was nothing at his age! It is inevitable that his son has a better future than him.

These idiots! It is inevitable that they will be dragged down by them if they stay there. Maybe they will do something irreversible in the future, so he has to stay away from them.

This family can't stay. He has to write a letter to ask the third brother to come back before the New Year anyway. Just divide it, and get it right away, so as not to worry about following them.

When the Dingyuan Hou Mansion arrived in front of the Wu'an Hou Mansion, everyone was startled by the crowds of people in front of him. They did not dare to stay outside the door and went directly into the outside of the school grounds in the Wu'an Hou Mansion.

The schoolyard of Wu'an Hou Mansion is very large, with only three acres of land. At this time, the schoolyard has been laid out, and a circle of stands is set up around the schoolyard. The stands are not high, only more than two meters, divided into two floors, with a gap every ten meters to distinguish different families.

The school ground was not covered with all the above, and only a piece of thick oil cloth was covered above the stands to block the sun to prevent someone from heatstroke.

Gu Yan got off the carriage and caused heated discussion among the people present. Everyone looked at Gu Yan in a wheelchair. Seeing that she was not wearing a hat like the women nowadays, they all showed contempt, but when they looked at Gu Yan's appearance, they were shocked again.

What a peerless beauty! She is cold, noble and elegant, but her appearance is beautiful, which makes people look a bit inconsistent but is suppressed by the bright red moonlight brocade.

She only had a single bun on her head, fixed with a golden crown covered with rubies. There were golden earrings in the same style as the crown. There was also a flower made of rubies on it. Everyone had seen this kind of flower since the end, and I don't know where she saw it.

If Huang Junsheng and others were here, they would definitely recognize that this was the flower on the mask that Gu Yan wore. They could not name it. Gu Yan once said that it was the flower of hell, representing the Netherworld Hell.

Everyone who arrived at Wu'an Hou Mansion first could no longer speak after seeing Gu Yan, they all stared at her blankly, with obsession in their eyes.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Rui was walking proudly towards the seat of Dingyuan Hou Mansion in the schoolyard, but she saw the obsessive eyes looking behind her. She frowned and looked back.

"hiss!"

What's going on with her? Didn't she never like to wear jewelry? Why did she wear it again? No, she didn't see her wearing it when she got on the carriage, but she only wore it after the carriage? Why?

Gu Rui thought for a moment and seemed to understand, showing a look of silence.

She must have done this to seduce men. No wonder she had to challenge all the young talents in the capital. It turns out that this is the reason.

Gu Rui thought she knew Gu Yan’s thoughts, so she glanced at Gu Yan with contempt and followed Yu towards the seat area of ​​the Hou Mansion.

Gu Yan frowned and sat in the wheelchair without making any sound. The low pressure on her body made Shuxiang and Moxiang behind her tremble. She lowered her head and followed Tang and Gu An without saying a word.

The two sisters Shuxiang and Moxiang followed Gu Yan, and they were too cold, otherwise they would have been unable to help but complain.

The lady said that she wanted to dress up the master, which was a stunning one at a glance, but when she got to the master, it became the cleaner the better. None of them dared to offend him, so she could only persuade the master to put on the earrings, otherwise it would be better if she could change the crown at this time. You mother and daughter had already agreed to tell them to do things, so who would they listen to?
