Chapter 880 883. Talk about it
Li Cuicui still had a trace of suspicion, thinking that this was all Jin Qianqian's excuse, otherwise why did Luo Luo rarely walk around the village these days? This child must be feeling wronged.
"You should understand that both of them are your sons, but there should be order of seniority."
Jin Qianqian nodded quickly. She had already thought about this matter a long time ago. In the future, she would leave corresponding things for Luo Luo and would not let him suffer any loss.
As soon as she entered the house, Li Cuicui started looking for someone, "Where is your eldest son?"
Xu Dawang hurriedly said respectfully, "Madam, the eldest son is reading in the study."
Seeing how respectful he was, Li Cuicui felt a little uncomfortable. Everything was good at the Seventh Brother's house except that there were too many rules.
As an old lady from the countryside, she just wanted to live a comfortable life.
"Don't bother you, I'll go see him myself."
Xu Dawang, "This is what a slave should do."
Li Cuicui, "..."
Jin Qianqian waved her hand to let Xu Dawang and the others go down, and then she helped Li Cuicui out of the study.
Gu Benluo heard the noise and hurried out to greet her, "Grandma, you're here."
"You kid, don't stay at home all day long," the old lady felt even more uncomfortable when she thought about how other grandchildren got jobs for no reason while Lolo still had to work hard here.
"You are just too honest. Come back with me and I will ask someone to make you something delicious."
Gu Benluo was actually quite speechless in his heart. These days, everyone's pitying eyes made him feel particularly uncomfortable.
I even vaguely heard people say that it was the parents who found the seeds, but they bypassed the eldest son and gave the credit to Cancan.
Everything he said was about his parents' favoritism and how much he was suffering.
Even if he opened his mouth to explain to everyone that he was genuinely happy for Cancan, these people wouldn't believe him, so why bother going out and making himself uncomfortable?
Now that his grandmother had this expression again, Gu Benluo couldn't just ignore it. He helped the old lady to the reception room and said, "Grandma, I want to earn you a jinshi degree, so you have to be careful."
Seeing that Jin Qianqian did not follow in, Li Cuicui held Gu Benluo's hand lovingly and said, "Grandma's good grandson, your parents have wronged you this time, but Cancan is also your brother. If you have any grudges in your heart, just tell grandma directly and I will seek justice for you. Don't keep it in your heart."
The old lady felt more and more that Luo Luo was escaping by hiding at home. He used to go out with the other brothers often, so why didn’t he go out for a while?
Gu Benluo sat opposite the old lady and patiently explained to her, "After being appointed as an official by the emperor, you can no longer take the imperial examination. Your grandson wants to be like your father and move up step by step on his own.
I know everyone thinks I'm at a disadvantage in this matter, but this was actually my idea.
Cancan is not interested in a career in politics. Once he promotes this kind of grain, he will have completely free time. By then, this title will become his amulet.
Grandma, this is something our family has already discussed before, and it is the best arrangement.”
Li Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then it's not bad, I was just afraid that your parents would be partial to you.
Since you have nothing to do, don't stay at home all day, go out for a walk.
Otherwise, the villagers would spread rumors.”
It was because she had heard so much gossip that Li Cuicui wanted to get to the bottom of it.
She said that the seventh brother has always been steady and it is impossible for him to be so outrageous.
Now that everything is fine, the old lady is completely relaxed. "Come on, accompany me for a walk, and burn some incense for your grandfather. I hope the ancestors of the Gu family will bless us, so that Luo Luo can become the top scholar like your father."
Gu Benluo was led by the old lady, and he also helped her, "Please go slower."
"I don't know if your grandfather is as useless in the underworld as he was when he was alive. Why don't we stop begging him and go ask the ancestor for help directly." This concerns the future of her eldest grandson. Li Cuicui suddenly felt that Gu Dashi should be unreliable.
You can't even count on him when he's alive, let alone after he's dead. I'd probably have already been caught and beaten by his parents-in-law in the underworld by now.
…
Gu Letian brought his younger brothers to the Gu Mansion. Looking at the magnificent gate in front of them, they felt a little timid.
Gu Bencan had already received the news. As soon as he went out, he saw his brothers standing beside the carriage, looking at the gate quietly. "Brothers, you are finally here. You have worked hard on the journey. Come in quickly."
Gu Leshun was closest to him and asked in a low voice, "This is the house that the emperor gave us."
In the past, he had followed his seventh uncle to take up his post, and the house he lived in was not bad, but it was nothing compared to this.
Gu Bencan has been bored staying at home these days. Now that his brothers have come over, he naturally wants to invite them in to liven things up.
"Yes," he quickly took the lead, "it's bigger inside, but there are a lot of things that haven't been packed yet, so we're all still living in the front yard for the time being."
In my father's words, the mistress of this house is my mother, so naturally she is the one who should be in charge of the installation. They, the grown men, don't care about these things, so they just make do with it in the front yard for now.
As soon as he entered the mansion, everyone's eyes were not enough. Gu Letian asked, "Where is Uncle Qi?"
Gu Bencan, “My father is busy with official duties, so he asked me to entertain all the brothers today.
Although there is no good wine or food, there is a table of vegetarian food. Brothers, please don't say that I am not a good host when the time comes."
Gu Leshun suddenly put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Cancan, you are the uncle now, so should we bow to you when we see you in the future?"
Gu Bencan rolled his eyes at him and said, "Your question is very insincere. I never saw you perform any formalities when you met my father before.
Besides, I am just an empty-headed lord, and it is good enough to scare the common people. We should not use those empty tricks on our own people, otherwise I will be the first one to be unable to bear it. "
Dad has already analyzed this with me, and it is estimated that after this batch of seeds is promoted, it will be time for him, as a hero, to retire.
Even if we mention corn again in the future, we will say that it was only because of the great fortune of the time that corn came into being.
"That's good," Gu Leshun patted his chest with a fearful look on his face. "On the way here, I thought you would look down on us brothers after you became an uncle. So when you have free time, let's go fishing together."
Gu Bencan, "You can't say this for now, don't forget, we are still in mourning.
Now that my brothers are officials, we really have to follow some of the taboos."
Although they are low-ranking officials, they are very different from the previous minor officials. If someone wants to make something of them, it will be easier than to find fault with them father and son.
Gu Bencan thought of the mistresses his father had prepared for his brothers and couldn't help but smile sympathetically at them.
Gu Leshun, "...Cancan, please don't laugh like that. When you laugh like that, I know you must have some bad ideas in your mind. I'm a coward, please don't scare me."
Don't be fooled by this boy's innocent face, he has suffered losses before.
Gu Bencan wiped his face and regained his innocent self. "Look at what Brother Leshun said. Such a handsome smiling face is so unbearable in your eyes. It really makes me sad..."
