Chapter 649: Confess

Feeling suffocated!
The air seems to have solidified, and the two ice basins in the room seem to have become two braziers, making it difficult to breathe and getting hotter.
At this moment, the most urgent idea is to escape here.
Gu Teng really didn't expect that Master Gu would even be dissatisfied with the marriage at Luhou Mansion.
Luhou, a high-ranking authority, holds a heavy soldier.
How many people want to marry Luhou but can’t.
Master Gu actually wanted to push this marriage out.
What surprised Gu Yu even more was that Gu Jiu directly threatened Master Gu with Luhou.
The father and daughter are at war with each other, and they are in a posture of raising the table in the next moment.
Gu Teng was sweating on his forehead, and he was afraid it was a pond fish that was hit.
He looked around, coughing lightly, and the stagnant atmosphere suddenly became loose.
"Is it sure that Luhou has agreed to this marriage?"
He asked a question that was not a problem.
Gu Jiu smiled at him, "Third brother, don't worry, eldest brother will not make jokes about this kind of thing. I think Mrs. Luhou has received the letter from Master Hou and is waiting for our Gu family to send a matchmaker to come."
Gu Teng said quickly: "That's good, that's good!"
He looked at Master Gu again, "Father, the son thinks this marriage has been done. The eldest brother takes the road of a military commander and can marry Luhou's daughters. The military will also take a high look at him, and the road goes smoother."
Master Gu sneered, "I can't ask about this."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "My father is nothing but asking, but the implication is that he doesn't object?"
Master Gu nodded his head, "Yes, this official does not object to this marriage. However, if the official is required to act in person, the official is not available."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Don't worry, father, you don't have to worry about your eldest brother's marriage. You only need to show a smile and nod your head when you meet at the two houses. The rest is our own responsibility for our children."
Master Gu was furious, and Gu Jiu had made up his mind right from the beginning, and wanted to put him aside completely.
He pointed to Gu Jiu and said "you, you, you..." for a long time, without saying a complete sentence.
In fact, Master Gu is a face-saving person.
Gu Jiu always frustrated him, he was very shameless.
As long as Gu Jiu is willing to persuade him and say a few nice words to cheer him up, he will definitely accept the marriage happily.
Gu Jiu: "..." Coax you? I'm sorry, this lady is not very patient and doesn't want to coax people.
I really think I am your majesty, do you want her to coax everyone?
Gu Jiu asked himself as a good-tempered person and rarely cares about it.
But in the face of Master Gu, Gu Jiu couldn't help but care.
He always couldn't tell the difference between the seriousness and the seriousness, and he always liked to squeeze his father's airs, and indirectly killed Mr. Gu. It almost delayed the future of several brothers.
Such a Master Gu, Gu Jiu can still sit here calmly and talk to him, which is already a lot of face.
Coax people?
Ha ha!
This skill is not activated today.
Today, only the function of 怼人 is opened.
Gu Yu hurriedly comforted Master Gu, "The weather is hot and everyone is very dry. Come here, change the ice basin. Father, don’t you like to drink plum juice the most? My son asked the kitchen to make ice plum juice and wanted to come. The ice is ready, so someone will send it."
"What kind of sour plum juice to drink. Do you think the boss is like a person who drinks sour plum juice?" Master Gu vented directly to Gu Teng with an angry expression.
Gu Teng is a son, what can he do?
Can only endure it!
Gu Jiu is not used to seeing it, "Father seems to have some opinions on this marriage, so you might as well speak out and everyone sits down and discusses it."
Master Gu coldly snorted, "Discuss? You're all set, do the officials' opinions matter?"
Gu Jiu smiled, "When we split up, I left a sum of money for the bride price."
"The silver is in the Hou Mansion, you ask the Hou Mansion where you want to go." Master Gu simply.
Gu Jiu said again: "I know that the money is in the Hou Mansion, and I will go to the Hou Mansion to ask for it. I want to ask, how much money does my father plan to prepare for the eldest brother?"
Master Gu stared, "I already have the dowry money from the public school, why, is it not enough?"
"Does my father think a few thousand taels is enough to marry Luhou's daughter?" Gu Jiu smiled.
Master Gu was annoyed. He didn't like Gu Jiu's expression. He said directly, "I want money."
Snapped!
Gu Jiu lightly patted the desktop, still making a movement that cannot be ignored.
Master Gu's eyes widened and couldn't believe it, "You, you, you dare to slap the table in front of me. You are rebellious!"
Gu Jiu wiped the palms of her hands, "Father misunderstood, and my daughter didn't pat the table. Just now, my hands were itchy and rubbed, but I didn't expect such a big movement. My father was not frightened."
Master Gu rolled his throat, "Itchy hands?"
Gu Jiu looked pure and innocent, "Yeah! It's just that your hands are itchy. Well in summer, it's hard to avoid itching. When this hand is itchy, you can't help but move."
Master Gu's face turned pale, he didn't know what he thought of, his expression was ugly, "Up to five thousand taels?"
Gu Jiu's eyebrows moved, "What did father just say? I didn't understand."
"Ten thousand taels! Can't be more. In the past few years, the income of the mansion has been average. There are ten thousand taels, plus the bride money in the Hou Mansion, which adds up to fifteen thousand taels, which is enough to hire."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you father. My brother knows, I must be grateful to my father for taking so much trouble with his marriage."
Master Gu is willing to pay 10,000 taels, that's okay!
Gu Jiu accepts as soon as he sees it.
She added part of the rest.
Gu Ling has also saved a lot of money with her over the years, and used some of it to add to the bride price.
Gu Jiu stretched out his hand, "I have to trouble my father, and tell the butler to open the warehouse."
Master Gu was taken aback, "I want it today?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Time is running out, I have to hire as soon as possible. I will prepare the bride price, but my father has to give me the money in advance."
Master Gu frowned, his heart was full of anger.
Just don't have the courage to go down.
With a sullen face, he shouted loudly: "Housekeeper, housekeeper. Open the storeroom and give the money to the second aunt's grandmother."
Butler Gu Quan bowed down and took the key to open the warehouse.
Without Gu Jiu speaking, a little yellow door consciously followed Gu Quan.
Gu Quan's back is cold!
Damn, he was stiff when he saw these little yellow doors.
These little yellow gates do not seem to show the mountains and dew water, and they have started their hands, but one by one is wicked.
With such a group of evil spirits around her second-aunt grandmother, it is no wonder that she is getting more and more fierce.
The steward Gu Quan took the bank note and handed it to Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu patted the wooden box with the silver ticket, and said softly: "After the matchmaker comes to Pei's house, and after discussing the specific time with Pei's family, the two officially meet. By then, I will be tired of the third brother."
Gu Teng waved his hand quickly, "It should be, it should be."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated the third brother, the title of the gold list."
Gu Tong smiled so hard that he could not see his teeth, "Tongxi, Tongxi!"
This year's test, Gu Teng took the test. Perhaps it was the father-in-law who gave instructions, anyway, after seeing the question, Gu Teng wrote with the help of God, and the three exams went smoothly.
The final result was announced, and it was indeed on the list.
Although the ranking is relatively low, at least it is the title of the gold list.
After participating in the palace exam, everything went smoothly.
He was named the Second-Class Jinshi, and his ranking was somewhat low.
Gu Teng was very satisfied with this result.
Although the ranking is low, at any rate, he is also a second-class scholar.
He was not a person with amazing talents. He could be admitted to the Jinshi before the age of 30, and he was barely young and promising.
As the saying goes, thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young scholars.
You can be regarded as a young scholar at the age of fifty if you are admitted to the Jinshi, which shows how difficult it is to take the Jinshi.
How rare is it to be admitted to a Jinshi under thirty. Although the ranking is not very good.
This year, Xinke Tanhua can be 30 years old and can be young and promising.
The champion and second place are both in their early forties.
Gu Teng's article did not win against others, but in terms of age, he properly won.
At the time Gu Teng was named on the gold list, although Gu Jiu didn't come back, he still sent back gifts.
Later in the election, Gu Jiu secretly said hello, and Gu Yu was able to enter the Imperial Academy smoothly.
Under normal circumstances, with Gu Teng's ranking, one cannot enter the Imperial Academy.
The imperial palace is pure and precious, and after several years of working in it, it is equivalent to a layer of gold on the body.
After a few years, the time is right to go to the sixth department to experience, and then release the magistrate.
Ascend step by step, that's it!
Speaking of Gu Teng's entrance examination, Master Gu's expression was a bit more relaxed.
Master Gu stroked his beard and said, "The third child's article is very well done, with the style of being a father back then."
Gu Jiu held back his smile.
Gu Teng said hurriedly: "It's all my father who taught me well."
Master Gu then sighed, "You brothers, you are the only one who has read aloud from reading. The other boys are all bastards."
"Father's remarks, my son is a little bit disagreeable. My eldest brother has worked in martial arts in the northwest for a few years, and he has a good future. From his literacy to martial arts, it can be seen that they are all ways out." Gu Teng solemnly retorted Master Gu.
Master Gu coldly snorted, "Is the Sirius Army's military merits so easy to take? It's all about fighting for fate. Maybe any fate..."
"Ahem..." The butler Gu Quan coughed anxiously, reminding Master Gu to speak more carefully. This kind of thing should be avoided.
Master Gu also knew that he was speaking inappropriately, and was embarrassed.
He said to Gu Jiu: "Whenever you write to your brother, telling him to have a chance to transfer back to the capital, he should transfer it back quickly. The place in the northwest has been enough for so many years. Come back quickly to marry a wife and have children and live a good life."
"Father don't worry, my brother will arrange his future."
"He knows what he knows!"
Gu Jiu went back directly, "Did my father forget that my brother is now a rank 4 military commander, so how can he not understand his own future."
"My official is too lazy to tell you, I can't tell." Master Gu walked away directly.
