259 The talk has collapsed!
Gu Yan walked to Master Mingyuan, half-kneeled in front of Mingyuan, and whispered: "Please pay tribute to Master."
Seeing Gu Yan's actions, everyone in the yard was different.
Mingyuan: It’s not easy. I waited for ten years before I waited for my disciple to kneel down.
Tang and Gu Zhehan: Are your daughter (sister) hindered or sensible? Why did you remember to kneel down to her master?
Yu Donghai: Isn’t this girl quite good? Why did she just kneel on the ground when she greeted her master? I heard that she was injured during a war? Just kneeling, nothing is it?
Master Mingyuan quickly helped Gu Yan up and said curiously: "Why did you remember to kneel down to me?"
Gu Yan raised her eyes and glanced at Master Mingyuan, "If you don't want me to kneel down, I won't kneel next time."
Do you think I am willing to kneel down? You just want to give you some face in front of outsiders!
Master Mingyuan choked and immediately looked a little embarrassed.
Yu Donghai was stunned, looked at Gu Yan with a dazed look, and his eyebrows slowly frowned.
This Gu Yan is really displeasing. I thought it would be a good idea for Master Mingyuan to accept her as his disciple, but I didn't expect that she did not respect her master at all. Since Master Mingyuan is her master, he should respect him. It is common sense to kneel down to pay tribute. He must be respectful and polite when talking to the master, but she does not seem to take Master Mingyuan seriously at all.
Master Mingyuan is loved by all the people and has a luxury for how many people can become his disciple, but this little girl doesn't take it seriously at all. How could Master Mingyuan, a generation of monks, accept disciples of such character?
Yu Donghai was surprised and had some doubts, but he couldn't say anything in person. He could only wait until Gu Yan and the others left before asking Mingyuan.
Gu Yan could see at a glance what Yu Donghai was thinking, but she did not explain. This is how she and Mingyuan got along. Both of them were casual and used to it. They didn't care about the rules between master and apprentice. They didn't want to be bound by these things. Instead of explaining it to others, it would be better to show it to others.
Gu Yan thought for a while, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Besides, thank you for following me to the border to save people."
Master Mingyuan smiled and said, "It is necessary for monks to be compassionate."
Gu Yan shook her head and said seriously: "There is nothing in this world that should be done. It's just that some people have done too much. It takes too long to everyone thinks it is what he should do, but he never thought that he is just a person. He will also feel sad, angry, and bear all the pressure.
He carried everything on his shoulders, making others feel relaxed, but he never thought that he was harming others, even if his original intention was for others' sake."
Mingyuan frowned and thought, and after a while, he finally smiled and said, "Girl, you can be your master."
Gu Yan respectfully bowed to Mingyuan, "The master is the master. These are just some simple views of the disciples. The future path needs guidance."
Master Mingyuan shook his head, "Lao Na has nothing to teach you. If he hadn't been able to pass the chess skills, Lao Na would not have become your master. Yan'er, you should go your own way in the future. You just need to remember and not forget your original intentions. Put the people of the world first, Amitabha!"
Except for Mingyuan himself, the others were confused and didn't understand what Mingyuan was saying at all. Gu Yan just frowned tightly and calmed down to think about Mingyuan's words.
This is the second time, and the master told her that the people of the world should be the first priority. Why is this? Could it be that it is just because her family started with military achievements? Or will she start killing and slaughtering people in the future? Can the master see such a faraway thing?
Gu Yan's frown slowly relaxed.
No matter why, she only does what she should do. Whether it is the people of the world or the people's demands, it is difficult to do so. Everything has nothing to do with her. As long as the Gu family is well, she will be fine. If the Gu family has something to do, she will take the people of the world to be buried with her.
Gu Yan was full of resentment between her eyebrows. When Master Mingyuan met, he felt a strange look and finally lamented.
Forget it, saying too much and thinking too much is not a good thing. You can't say such things again in the future, otherwise this person would be furious and would not be a good thing.
Yu Donghai also saw that the atmosphere was not very good at this time, so he quickly found a topic to divert the conversation.
The few people chatted for a while and brought the topic to Changzhou without any intention.
Tang first asked how Changzhou is now. After Yu Donghai answered, he talked about Changzhou's business and praised Tang's business as a rare Confucian businessman.
Tang was naturally happy to be praised so much. When he chatted, he smiled even more. Then he talked about Hu Youliang.
"Sir, this time, is it for the evidence of guilt?"
Yu Donghai looked at Tang and Gu Yan and frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the person who came to talk to them would be Tang instead of Gu An. Logically speaking, wouldn't a man have to talk to such a big thing? How could Gu An tell the woman about such a big thing? And let them come forward to talk to him? Isn't this a mess!
Yu Donghai didn't say anything. Tang, Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan knew what he was thinking at first sight, so Tang smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry. It's the first thing that your husband can't come if you have something to do. Secondly, he is afraid that this will make the Hu family beware of it, so it's better to have a normal relationship. As usual, there is no flaw, so you can naturally keep your safety."
Yu Donghai thought about it and felt that what Tang said made sense, so he nodded, "Well, what you said made sense, but... it's important. Did Mrs. Gu still ask Brother Gu to come?"
Tang's face darkened, and he felt a little unhappy, thinking that Yu Donghai looked down on her and was also a little prejudiced towards women.
Gu Yan gently pressed Tang and turned around and looked coldly at Yu Donghai.
"Mr. Yu is a great scholar of the world. I, Gu Yan, respect you very much, but since we entered here, your words and actions have revealed your prejudice against women.
You should have heard of me. What I have done before may be too shocking in your eyes, but you cannot deny that I am right. No matter how strong a man is, he has weaknesses. At least men are born by women.
My family situation is different from other families. Although my family is also a male lead, the female lead is the female lead in the inner world, my mother and I are not blind. My father and my brother will tell us about the court affairs every day, and we will not give reasonable opinions for us, just to not drag them down one day.
The court changes. If one day the wife of the Gu family goes out to have fun and chat with the wife of the hostile family and inadvertently reveal the affairs of the men in the family, who will bear the consequences? Just because you don’t know what the matter is in the court, and don’t know which side the husband, son, and brother are, you will get the whole family in. Wouldn’t it be worth the loss?”
Gu Yan stared at Yu Donghai with his eyes tightly, wanting to see his choice. If he was a stubborn person, the Gu family would have to make a choice. He would rather let the Hu family continue to jump, or even press on the Gu family, than to have a heart to do with Yu Donghai. Otherwise, once the Gu family's affairs were known, the consequences would be unimaginable with his pedantic nature.
Gu Yan was waiting for Yu Donghai to change. In this short period of time, she didn't expect him to change much, but she hoped that he could tolerate something for his brother. As long as he did this, he would no longer care about the Hu family's affairs and hand over everything to the Gu family and Liu family. Then, she could still take this matter with confidence, bring down the Hu family in one fell swoop, and accumulate military merits for the Gu family, and withdraw from the fire in the name of filial piety.
Gu Zhehan and Tang were also looking at Yu Donghai nervously, hoping that he could understand the Gu family and not object even if he did not support it, so that the Gu family would take over the matter successfully.
As a result, they were disappointed. When Yu Donghai shook his head gently, Tang Shi, Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan had indescribable disappointment and indignation in their hearts, but they had no choice but to Donghai.
"I still hope to talk to Lord Gu about this."
From Brother Gu to Lord Gu, Yu Donghai's words revealed his decision, and he still wanted to discuss the matter with Gu An.
Gu Yan frowned again, took a deep breath, and said to Yu Donghai: "I understand Mr. Yu's choice very well. Since Mr. Yu has no intention of discussing, this matter is just for this. I will not tell the Liu family about this. If Mr. Yu wants to find the Liu family, he will ask himself. Whether Liu Mingyi wants to take action depends entirely on him. The Gu family withdrew and no longer cares about Changzhou affairs."
Yu Donghai looked at Gu Yan and suddenly smiled, "I'm afraid the princess can't decide this matter. I will go to find Lord Gu in person."
Gu Yan also smiled, her smile was cold and she had no emotion at all. "We will not stop Mr. Yu from doing anything, but please don't look for my father, otherwise..."
Yu Donghai narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yan, "What do you want?"
Gu Yan said bluntly, "Kill you and let you bury your bones in the capital."
Yu Donghai's expression tightened and he roared, "Rareless!"
Gu Yan was not willing to be weak, and slapped the table and said, "You are just arrogant. Yu Donghai, I will give you face and call you a sir. It does not mean that I can rub you with you. Even if you are your brother's master, my respect for you is not your capital to make trouble."
It wasn't as if Yu Donghai was talking, Gu Yan continued to whisper: "Yu Donghai, the reason why the Gu family took the risk of participating in this matter is profitable. Otherwise, why should my Gu family help you? Just for those innocent people who died in vain? Stop teasing, no matter how kind the Gu family is, they will not trap themselves in because of a group of dead people.
You know the situation in Changzhou in your heart. Without the Gu family, you will only have a dead end in the capital. Even if Liu Mingyi wants to help you, he will not have anyone available.
Changzhou is now very chaotic. It can be said to be a gathering place for many forces. If you want to calm down the chaos, only the Gu family who is familiar with it can do it. The Gu family has military power and has a lot of knowledge about Changzhou. Such convenient conditions are the basis for the Gu family to take action.
The Hu family probably knows what happened to you in the capital. This shows that the Hu family is staring at the first Changzhou person who came to the capital. Now the Hu family is not only staring at you, but also at the Gu family that crawled on his head. He is trying to get my father down. At this time, if we make a mistake, what is waiting for our Gu family will be a devastating blow, so I will not let my father see you.
The excuses we came today are to burn incense, and the other is to let my brother meet the master. If we don’t come, we will make people doubt it. In the eyes of outsiders, my mother and I are women. I will not leave such a big thing in Changzhou to two women. But once my father comes in person, those secret whistles staring at my father and you will be noticed. Even if we don’t doubt the matter in Changzhou, we will stare at us. I, Gu Yan, don’t want to live under the eyes of others every day.
Gu Yan said this, and you will think about what Mr. Yu should do, just don’t take the Gu family.”
After Gu Yan said that, he helped Tang and stood up. It didn't mean Donghai said anything. Gu Yan helped Tang and turned around and walked. After walking two steps, Yan turned back and looked at Yu Donghai.
"Since Mr. Yu has no intention of letting me and my mother know, then you must not see you, Mrs. Liu. We will go down the mountain tomorrow, and Mr. Yu doesn't have to send you any more."
Gu Yan quickly walked, and helped Tang quickly left Mingyuan's yard.
Gu Zhehan did not move, but took a step back and stood respectfully, looking at it, which meant that he wanted to serve Donghai in close proximity and do what an apprentice should do.
Yu Donghai was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood from Zai Yan, but he calmed down and did not stop Gu Yan and Tang from leaving, allowing them to leave Mingyuan's yard.
He is a big man who is not easy to care about the elderly, weak, women and children, but he can find their men.
Yu Donghai glared at Gu Zhehan, pointed to Gu Yan's direction and asked, "That's how your parents educate their daughters? There is no education at all. It's really unruly! Brother Han, let your father come tomorrow, or I can go find your father. Anyway, I won't talk to your mother and your sister."
Gu Zhehan was full of disappointment with Donghai. He only thought of himself, but did not think about the Gu family at all. He just ignored the Gu family for the so-called face and etiquette, so that the Gu family could be in danger at any time. He did not believe that the Hu family did not have secret guards. Even if they did not, he would have a backer, otherwise he would not be so bold.
Yesterday they discussed for a long time and wanted to find the backer behind the Hu family. The Hu family's rise must be related to the Four Kings. If they want to stabilize that position, they must have military power. But now the military power is in the hands of the emperor and the Four Dukes' Mansion. Even the Gu family handed over the military power as soon as they entered the capital, otherwise the four kings would let the Gu family go easily?
The four kings have no military power, so they will definitely find ways to pick up one. For the sake of a little military power, they can ignore anything and kill some people. Anyway, they are not dead, so they won’t care.
Because of this, they thought yesterday that the old Qu died of illness a year later, avoided the anger of the Hu family backing and suppressed the Gu family's limelight, so as not to be unfavorable to the new emperor's position in the Gu family in the future.
After three years of mourning, if the four kings move fast enough, there might be someone in the position of the prince, and then the Gu family can get back on the rise again.
It can be said that the family took everything into account, including his master's attitude today.
My sister said yesterday that she told them not to hold too much expectations and he didn't believe it. Now it seems that my sister is right.
The master is a great scholar in the contemporary era. The idea of men being superior to women is rooted in his heart. The rules in his eyes are heavier than anything else, and it is harder for women to accept them than ordinary people. In his opinion, women should take care of their husbands and children at home. They are not obedient to their wives and even sink into the pond.
