Chapter 1140 Worrying



Gu Ting beat up Gu Gong!

Gu Ting’s life is very regular now!

He gets up on time every day, has breakfast, and then sets off for the college.

He serves as vice president of the military academy and also serves as an instructor.

He likes to drill his students.

It feels so good to yell at those new recruits!

Life becomes regular, the body and mind are relaxed, and the physical condition improves accordingly.

When you are in good health, you have more energy.

The marriage of the fifth son, Gu Gong, became a big problem for the Gu family.

As the eldest brother, he felt it was his responsibility to help Gu Gong solve the major issues in his life.

Since he left the country two years ago, Gu Ting had arranged more than a dozen marriages for Gu Gong, but they all fell through in the end.

Either Gu Gong doesn't like the woman.

Either the woman looked down on Gu Gong and disliked him because he was disabled and old.

Some people privately said that an old bachelor who wanted to marry a virgin girl and had so many demands had no self-awareness at all.

Gu Gong was tired of blind dates, so he said, "If I don't get married, I will be single for the rest of my life."

Because of this sentence, Gu Ting got angry and beat Gu Gong on the spot.

When he was young, Gu Gong was no match for Gu Ting, and he is even less of a match now.

At such an old age, I am still being treated violently by my elder brother. I can't live like this.

He just started to work passively, took a leave of absence and stopped teaching at the college.

Pei Man secretly scolded Gu Ting, "Old Five said he would be a bachelor for life, it was clearly just angry words, but you took it seriously and beat him up. You are really something! He is a grown-up, he must have his own ideas about his life, don't force him. If he doesn't want to get married, he can take a concubine and leave descendants. Why force him to suffer the cold shoulder?"

Gu Ting's anger had not yet subsided, and he snorted coldly, "Don't ask about this matter. Just tell me if there is a suitable girl to introduce to Lao Wu."

Pei Man sighed, "A girl of equal status, even if he's a concubine's son, wouldn't look down on Gu Gong. Firstly, he's disabled, and secondly, he's old. Others say he's an old bachelor, and while that might sound harsh, it's true. If I want to find the right girl, I can only lower my standards."

"Do you want to lower your requirements?" Gu Ting frowned, somewhat dissatisfied.

In the last few blind dates, the girls’ families weren’t very well off, so I’ve already lowered my requirements.

Even so, the girl's family still looked down on Gu Gong.

If you lower your requirements further, you can only find a girl from a small family.

Girls from this kind of family are mostly illiterate and have little knowledge. I guess their looks can only be considered pretty.

Gu Ting grumbled quietly, "Old Five is a descendant of a noble family after all, and he's my brother. It's inappropriate to lower the conditions so much."

Pei Man said, "If Gu Gong wants to marry a woman of equal status, he can only marry a widow!"

"How can a widow do that?" Gu Ting refused subconsciously.

Pei Man asked in return, "Why not a widow? A bachelor and a widow, no one should look down on the other. If you insist on finding him a virgin, you can only lower your requirements again and again, or even ask for nothing at all. Or else buy a few beautiful girls to warm his bed."

"I'm seriously trying to find a wife for him. I want to marry someone from a prominent family. Buying a maid is nothing. Children born to maids are inherently inferior. The eldest son of the fifth brother cannot be born to a maid. It's shameful!"

Gu Ting also has his persistence.

He insisted on introducing a reasonable marriage for Gu Gong, insisting that Gu Gong marry from a reputable family and that the eldest son must be the legitimate son.

Even if the woman's family background is not very good, it is acceptable. The three matchmakers and six betrothal rules are strictly followed.

It’s a proper wedding and there should be a proper hostess in the house.

Pei Man advised him, "It's not shameful to marry a widow from a well-known family! Besides, when it comes to dating a widow, we men can be more picky about her family background. Maybe we can find a marriage that is well-matched."

Gu Ting frowned, looking very worried.

"I'll think about it."

On the way to the college, Gu Ting's brows were always furrowed.

When he was almost at the academy, he suddenly changed his mind and told the driver, "Go to the Fifth Master's house."

"Isn't Uncle going to the academy?"

"Let's go to the Fifth Master's house first."

"Okay!"

The driver changed the route and went to the residence of the fifth master Gu Gong.

The community is located at the foot of the Military Academy and is a three-story house.

Gu Gong is drinking.

I could smell alcohol from a distance.

Gu Ting was furious.

He walked over, picked up the wine jug and smashed it on the ground.

"Drinking so early in the morning, what a waste!"

"What do you care about me?"

Gu Gong felt very wronged.

Not only was he unable to get married at his age, but he was also beaten up by his eldest brother.

His brother Gu Cheng hid himself away and refused to stand up for him. He even said that he was afraid of being punished by Gu Ting if he stood up for him.

Gu Ting was furious. "If I don't take care of you, who will? Look at the life you lead. Your house is barely better than a doghouse."

Gu Gong chuckled twice and rolled his eyes.

Gu Ting felt itchy and rolled up his sleeves, wanting to hit someone again.

Then he thought about the purpose of coming here today and finally controlled his temper.

He pulled up a chair and sat down, ready to have a long talk with Lao Wu.

"What do you really think about your marriage? You've seen so many girls, but you're not satisfied with this one, not with that one. What kind of girl do you want to marry?"

"I haven't thought about it yet!" Gu Gong refused to cooperate at all and refused to give a standard.

Gu Ting’s hands are itching again!

He controlled his temper and said patiently, "I'll be honest with you. If you want to marry a girl of equal social status, it's impossible, even a concubine's daughter is impossible. Give up the idea as soon as possible. However, if you are willing to lower your standards a little, a widow of equal social status might be a good match."

Gu Gong raised his eyebrows, "Is there a widow of equal status for me to choose from?"

"First, tell me if you're willing to marry a widow. If you don't mind, I'll ask your sister-in-law to look for a few for you. I'm sure she can find several. You can take a look at them one by one."

Gu Gong didn't say anything.

Gu Ting was dissatisfied, "Okay, please give me some advice!"

He was very dissatisfied with Gu Gong's attitude, which was dilatory and indecisive.

Gu Gong used to do things very decisively. If it was okay, it was okay; if it was not okay, it was not okay.

The reason why I have become so hesitant now is because I was forced to do so.

He hated being dominated by Gu Ting, so he tried every possible way to go against him.

But I can’t win.

So he started to throw tantrums.

I am old but I am acting more like a child.

Gu Ting was not a careful person, so he had no idea what Gu Gong was thinking. He thought that was just Gu Gong's nature, that he was slow and indecisive.

There was all sorts of disgust in the words.

The more he disliked him, the more Gu Gong wanted to go against him.

The two brothers began a tug-of-war.

The slow-witted Gu Ting was completely unaware of it.

"Let's fight!" Gu Gong said suddenly.

"What did you say?"

Gu Ting thought he had heard wrongly.

Gu Gong suddenly raised his voice, "Let's fight!"

I've been really unhappy for a long time.

Gu Ting laughed heartily, "You're still fighting even though you can't beat me. Are you looking for a beating?"

"I will fight even if I can't win!" Gu Gong looked stubborn.

Gu Ting slapped him on the head and said, "Are you crazy? I came here today to discuss your marriage, not to fight with you. Okay, give me a definite answer right away!"

Gu Gong looked impatient, "Whatever!"

No matter what he said, Gu Ting would just ignore it.

It's really boring.

"It's not casual! If it's okay, it's okay. If it's not okay, it's not okay." Gu Ting said in a stern tone.

Gu Gong secretly rolled his eyes and said, "If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

Gu Ting was furious. "It's you who's marrying a wife, not me. It's useless for me to say yes."

Gu Gong suddenly laughed, "If you agree to fight me, I will tell you my answer."

He really deserves a beating!

Gu Ting, who had been itching to do something for a long time, took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and kicked Gu Gong directly.

The two brothers started fighting in the yard.

The servants left early.

There was a loud bang of fighting in the yard, but the servants, who were used to big scenes, didn't even blink.

The result was already determined; the Fifth Master was no match for the First Master.

I don't even want to take a look.

Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, there was no more noise in the yard.

The winner of this fight has already been decided.

Gu Gong lay on the ground, feeling a little depressed.

Gu Ting stretched out his hand, trying to pull him up.

Gu Gong laughed. "Actually, I've wanted to say this a long time ago. If all else fails, I'll just marry a widow. I was afraid you wouldn't agree, and since you were so enthusiastic about arranging it for me, I kept quiet. Unexpectedly, you figured it out and decided to pair me with a widow. With my qualifications, what's there to be picky about? A widow is great!"

Gu Ting frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "If you have any ideas in the future, just tell me directly. If you don't tell me, I will never guess what you are thinking."

"Of course you can't guess. You're the most insensitive among all the brothers. Everyone is annoyed by you, yet you still feel so good about yourself!"

"Who's annoying me? Tell me who's annoying me? How am I annoying?"

"Just based on what you just said, you're annoying!"

As expected, the two brothers had another fight.

They were all in a mess.

Gu Ting said, "I can't go to the academy today, so I'll stay here with you for the night."

Gu Gong was very disgusted, "Not welcome!"

"I'm the boss, I have the final say!"

"We've already divided the family property. It's my house and I have the final say."

"If you have the guts, drive me away."

Gu Ting started to act like a rogue and became a master at it.

Gu Gong thought about it and decided that since he couldn't be driven away, he might as well just let him be.

Gu Ting's personal soldiers acted as hygienists, cleaning the house inside and out.

After that, he transformed himself into a chef.

A table full of rich food and wine.

Gu Gong envied, "Almighty!"

Gu Ting boasted, "Of course! Don't you see who led these soldiers? How can they not be omnipotent?"

In fact, we were forced to do it.

When I went to fight overseas with Yang Ji, the conditions were difficult and I had to rely on myself for everything.

The personal soldiers who originally only knew how to boil water and cook were forced to become chefs, and could cook both northern and southern cuisines.

All I can say is that talented people can always shine.

The two brothers were eating and drinking while chatting.

Gu Ting patted Gu Gong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely find you a good wife with both good character and appearance. Not only must she come from a good family, but she must also be young, preferably no older than 25. Next year, you can have big, fat boys. We'll try to have two in three years, and three in five years. I also have a secret recipe for having sons, and I'll give you a copy when the time comes."

"I don't need any secret recipe. I can give birth to a son, so don't worry about it."

Gu Gong was very disgusted.

Gu Ting chuckled, "I'm doing this for your own good! You're so old, how can you give birth to a son if you don't take medicine? And there's statistics from medical schools that the older a man is, the more likely he is to have a daughter. I'm not saying that daughters are bad, it's mainly because daughters will get married sooner or later. When you get old, you'll need someone to take care of you. No matter what, you have to give birth to a son."

“Medical schools are all a scam!”

"It's really not a scam! I even went to look up their statistics. They say they sampled 2,000 families across 30 states who had children after the age of 35, and it turns out that more girls were born. This is a fact-based conclusion, and you must take it seriously."

Gu Gong frowned, "She's just a girl, at worst I can just invite a son-in-law to come home."

"When recruiting a son-in-law, the biggest worry is that he'll be an ungrateful person. Who will stand up for you when we're all gone? After the family is divided, it's hard for your nephews and nieces to interfere in your household affairs, right? The palace usually doesn't interfere in family affairs."

"Maybe I'll die sooner than you all!"

"That's even worse! My niece is suffering, and there's no one to stand up for her."

Gu Gong's face fell, "You are cursing me so that I can't have a son, right!"

"I'm advising you to get married quickly and have a child. Use the secret recipe I gave you, and I guarantee you'll have a son! You're getting old, and you can't put it off any longer. If you keep putting it off, even if you want to protect your child in the future, you won't have the time. You'll die with regrets, and your child will be left fatherless at a young age, which will be equally pitiful."

Gu Gong was almost angry to death.

He suspected that Gu Ting was deliberately trying to anger him.

Deliberately say some very tragic things to stimulate him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I meet the right one, I promise not to be picky and get married as soon as possible."

Gu Ting smiled happily. He had said so much just waiting for this sentence.
