137 House Rules
Gu An and Tang thought about it and thought, thinking that Gu Zhehan was right. The emperor would not let his son marry only, so he would not let Yan'er enter the palace.
As for the emperor, it is even more impossible. The emperor is not young, even older than Gu An. He is not a woman. He has not had a talent show for ten years. He has also joined two or three concubines in the harem in the past few years, but none of them have been gone in the past few years. Moreover, those people were chosen by the queen himself and have no relationship with the emperor. He has not been favored after entering the palace, let alone promoted the position. He is still only noble and beautiful.
If Gu An is in their family, they will not be included in the harem by the emperor. He still has to win over Gu An, so that he can help him stabilize the border in the next twenty years, and it is impossible for him to offend Gu An. And Gu Zhehan has also grown up, and he will be the best candidate to take over all Gu An's abilities.
With them here, Gu Yan would not be wronged, but the emperor was unpredictable. If he really gave her to any prince, his family would have to bear it.
Not only did Gu An and Tang not keep their hearts in mind, they also aggravated their concerns about Gu Yan, fearing that she would really let the emperor give a prince a second wife or concubine like Gu Zhehan said, and then they would have to recognize him as ministers.
Gu Yan didn't know what Gu An and Tang were worried about, so she waved her hand, "Don't worry, I won't enter the palace. The emperor is not that lustful, and his sons are not worthy of me. It's okay to let me marry one of them. If I can do it, I will marry me."
Gu An scolded with a stern face: "You can choose the prince, you can choose the prince? If you say you don't marry, you don't marry. You think you are a husband... Yan'er, the emperor's mind is unpredictable for his father, but it's better to be careful. Don't leave the mansion in the past two years before the hairpin, stay in the mansion."
Tang also quickly said, "Yes, your father is right. Don't leave the house. Stay at home during these days of confinement and cultivate your body and character."
Gu Yan nodded indifferently, "Sure."
Seeing Gu Yan agreeing, Gu An and Tang breathed a sigh of relief. After dinner, the family of four hurried to Rong'antang to see what the old Qu family asked them for.
Gu Yan and his family just arrived at the gate of Rong'antangyuan and happened to meet Cui's mother in a hurry.
Mother Cui looked at it and didn't see the person she wanted to see. She frowned tightly, squatted and bowed, and asked, "Second Master, Second Lady, don't you know you have seen Mother Qiu? The old lady asked her to send you a message to Rong'antang, why didn't you see her?"
Gu An snorted coldly with a stern face, glared at Cui's mother, ignored her and left.
Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan were dissatisfied with the old Qu family, and they didn't want to stay here anymore. Naturally, they wouldn't have a good face to Cui's mother, and they ignored her and left directly.
Only Tang was sitting in a wheelchair and dragging his "sick body" and smiled weakly at her, as if she was about to speak, but asked Zhao's mother to push her way into Rong'an Hall before her, and stood in the same place with Gu An and others, waiting for the old Qu and Gu Shuyu to let them enter the house.
Cui's mother looked at Gu An's family with amazement and ignored her and entered Rong'an Hall without saying a word. She couldn't believe that they would treat her like this.
Are they crazy? They actually ignore her? She is the most handsome slave around the old lady, and she has to use more than Mama Qiu. They are not afraid of offending her. In the future, they will say bad things to them in front of the old lady and put them on shoes?
Gu Yan's family had already entered. No matter how scared they were, she could not help but ask the little maid below to ask them to find Mama Qiu, and she followed Gu Yan's family into the main hall.
Gu An first entered the main hall and saw that all the masters of Dingyuan Hou Mansion had arrived. Even the brothers who were not here when they came to pay their respects a few times had returned from the academy, and the concubines of the big and four bedrooms had not left. When he looked at Dingyuan Hou and the old Qu who were sitting in the seat, Gu An couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart.
Haha, I never discuss with them if I have something at home. Don’t think that I have something to look for them. So what are you going to do? Is it a business? No need to ask, the prisoner is their family.
Gu An's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed to Gu Shuyu and Old Qu to say hello.
"My father and mother Da'an, I wonder if there is something wrong with us coming?"
Gu Shuyu nodded, "Well, it's something, you guys sit down first."
After hearing this, Gu An looked around and found that only Gu Huai, Gu Feng, Yu, and the young Qu. The younger generations, regardless of the legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate, stood honestly behind their parents. Even if there was a seat, no one dared to sit.
Gu An took Tang's wheelchair and pushed her to him, then looked up at Gu Shuyu.
After entering the room, Gu Yan only glanced at everyone, then looked at Old Qu. Seeing that she was looking at her with a meaningful meaning, she felt an indescribable smugness in her eyes, and she sneered in her heart, but there was no fluctuation on her face.
Even if they were asking for trouble, they were all the skills of the Houzai. She really didn't see it, so she could do it as they did, and she would go on.
Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan imitated other juniors to stand behind Gu An and Tang. Then Gu An said, "Dad, just say anything."
Gu Shuyu nodded and sorted out the corner of his clothes. "There are two things to say. First, the Nine Girl made a big splash in the capital a few days ago and offended many people. We did not pursue the investigation because her leg injury has not healed. Now her leg is fine, and it is time to put the punishment on the agenda. The second thing is your elder brother Chengjue. I am old and I am a little overwhelmed in everything. It is time for your elder brother to take over me. Today I came to you to tell you that the titles in your elder brother belong to your elder brother, and no one can take them. As for the others, it is your elder brother's. I will ask the elders to separate the family when the third brother comes back during the Chinese New Year, and then they will live their own family after the division."
Gu An and Tang looked at each other, but no one spoke, waiting for Gu Shuyu and Old Qu to continue to talk.
Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan secretly glanced at Gu Feng and quickly withdrew their eyes. The two looked at each other and then separated, one drinking tea and the other lowered their heads to fiddling with their nails.
After Gu Shuyu finished speaking, he kept silent and handed over the home court to the old Qu family.
Old Qu glanced around and couldn't find the person he wanted to see, and couldn't help frowning.
"Where is Mama Qiu? Why didn't I come with you if I asked her to come?"
Gu An said, "Mama Qiu is in trouble and is disrespectful to her master. She is punished to clean up in Baifang Garden. When she finishes her work, she will come back to serve her mother."
Old Qu was furious when he heard this, "What did you say? Did you punish Mama Qiu? She is someone around me. Even if she is wrong, I have to punish her. What qualifications do you have to punish her? Are you so filial to me? Do you still have my mother in your eyes?"
Gu An smiled comfortably, "Don't calm down. What Mama Qiu did has embarrassed her mother. My son had no choice but to not punish her. The outside world will say that you are unkind to your mother and suppress your concubine's son for no reason, and the son is also for the good of his mother."
"For my goodness? You are not for my goodness. You are slapping me in the face! She is the Delivery mother around me, the one who serves me. If you punish her, you will punish me. You can quickly let me go."
Gu An shook his head, "You can't let go. Mama Qiu is really arrogant. The son didn't hit her for his mother's sake. If he let go, what status will his son have in the mansion in the future?"
"You still want to hit her? Gu An, you are so brave!"
"My son is very brave, otherwise he would not have left home and went to the battlefield at a young age."
"you!"
The old Qu made Gu An speechless and could not say a word.
Gu An had her work when he left home. If it weren't for her suppression, Gu An wouldn't have left home to the battlefield at a young age. She did ignore it. But she was unwilling to let her swallow this, so she had to suppress her breath and said with a strong voice: "Mom Qiu is not, she is also an old man in the mansion. If you do this, you will make the servants below feel loyal!"
"It doesn't matter to my son. For the sake of his mother, I am willing to be this evil man."
After hearing this, Old Qu almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.
Everything is for her? He is obviously against her by punishing her for her good intentions!
Old Qu was about to say something when he heard a crying sound coming from the yard.
"My old lady! You have to be the master of your servant! Miss Nine asked someone to beat me and punish me to clean the yard. She is slapping you in the face!"
As the crying fell, Mama Qiu had already rushed into the main hall, took two steps and threw herself in front of Qu, holding Old Qu's thigh with tears in her hands, and began to cry about Gu Yan's fault.
"I did nothing! Miss Jiu disliked me and bullied me with her power and punished me with her arrogant attitude. She did not take the old lady seriously! The old lady wants to be the master of her! Woo woo woo woo woo..."
While crying, Mama Qiu secretly gave Gu Yan a glance, and was frightened by Gu Zhehan's glare, and hugged Old Qu's thigh even more aggrievedly.
Old Qu glanced at Mama Qiu with disgust, wanting to rescue her clothes and thighs from her hands, but at this time, Mama Qiu cried bitterly and she would have better effect in punishing Gu Yan, so she had to endure it.
Old Qu took a few photos of the case, "Gu Yan, it turns out that your father took the blame for you. You punished Mama Qiu. Why did you do this? Do you still have my grandmother in your eyes?"
Gu Yan slowly looked up at Mama Qiu, and then looked at Old Qu.
"I have you in my eyes."
Old Qu was stunned and thought for a long time before she could understand what she meant from Gu Yan's eyes.
She has her own reflection in her eyes, but isn't she in her eyes?
Old Qu was even more furious and pointed at Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan, you are so brave! I'll ask you, why do you punish Mama Qiu?"
Gu Yan glanced at Mama Qiu.
"It's not once that Mother Qiu saw that his master didn't ask for good. Last time we returned home, Madam Qiu looked down on her and didn't even have any tribute. This time, I, a dignified princess, aren't qualified to let a servant salute me? It would be fine if I didn't politely, but I dared to spit on my back. I didn't break her legs. It's all right. I just punished her to clean up the phlegm on the ground in the yard. She was so good, she actually spoke erratic and dirty, and wanted to sell my two girls to a brothel! Her words later were even more unpleasant. Haha, I've never seen such a slave, who is more like a master than me. The maids around me are not slaves. She is a slave and even a commoner dares to sell them. I have gained great insight."
After Gu Yan sneered, she glanced at Old Qu, disdainfully, "Where did she get the courage to bully the master? It's not what the old lady is used to! If the emperor knew about today's affairs, he wouldn't know what he would think of our Hou Mansion? Will he think that our Hou Mansion is a crime and dealing with ordinary people? Or will he think that our Hou Mansion has no rules at all and is useless?"
Gu Yan made Old Qu unable to say a word after a few words. His frustrated face turned red and he gritted his teeth with hatred.
Good, Gu Yan! You don’t speak normally, and you will make people speechless when you open your mouth. You are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
She lifted the emperor out, what could she do? Let the emperor think that their family has no rules and cannot be used for the most, or do they think that their family is good for buying and selling people? None of them is good. If the emperor knows and misunderstands, then no one in the Housing Mansion will come forward again in the future.
"Jiu Yatou misunderstood her grandmother. Her grandmother just asked, she had no intention of punishing you. The person who came, Qiu's mother was disgusted and said ill words, and she pulled her down and beat her twenty boards, and was fined one year-on-month silver."
Mama Qiu thought that the old Qu would seek justice for her, but she didn't expect that Gu Yan gave her up in just a few words. She was stunned and asked several mothers to pull her out. She only realized when she arrived in the yard. It was too late to cry again. Several mothers blocked her mouth and pulled her into the yard to make a slap.
Mama Qiu is usually arrogant and thinks that she is the one who serves Qu's personal body, and suppresses many servants in Rong'an Hall. Now that she has committed a crime, she is very pleased. She runs out to watch the fun, and she almost makes her embarrassed. She only beats a few tricks and can no longer stand it, so she faints in shame.
Gu Yan didn't care about the matter in the yard. Mama Qiu was just an appetizer. A servant didn't take her seriously. What she wanted to deal with was Old Qu. She didn't forget that Gu Shuyu had just said that he wanted to punish her. Old Qu would definitely not miss this good opportunity.
Sure enough, Old Qu spoke again.
"Mom Qiu is a little unruly, but Gu Yan, you are the same. From the time you entered the house to now, you have been celebrating to me and Mr. Hou? As a serious lady, where have you learned your rules?"
Old Qu took a few tables and roared, as if he wanted to vent all the anger he had just received from Gu Yan. His eyes were so fierce that it made people shudder.
Gu Yan was not scared by her at all, and gently stroked her Xiujiao and replied casually: "I didn't pay my respects to the old lady and the old master, but I'm also for your own good. No matter how big the family gift is, it's not as great as the national gift. Before paying my respects to the old lady, should the old lady have to pay my respects to me first?"
Old Qu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was furious, followed by extremely aggrieved.
