Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 16 016. Want to go out

Gu Kaiping spent the entire day in the Hanlin Academy. Although he was assigned some unimportant tasks, the Hanlin Academy was also close to the emperor, so they were better informed.

Even though several superiors have their own thoughts, they don't want the entire Hanlin Academy to be involved, and they have been reminding them many times these days.

"Father, don't worry, I will focus more on the family these days." Although he was mediocre in qualifications and able to pass the imperial examination, he was not a fool. The recent atmosphere was really weird, which made him feel like a storm was coming.

"Don't talk about your official affairs when you get home," Xu Huizhen was humiliated. She felt that as the head lady of the house, she was being scolded in front of her daughters-in-law, and that her daughters-in-law were all laughing at her.

"It's just that I don't go out to attend banquets anymore, which is nothing, but our Tong'er has a great opportunity..."

"No matter what the opportunity is, stay in the mansion obediently during this period of time." How could he not know the behavior of his old wife and eldest daughter-in-law, otherwise he would not have said these words today.

He secretly allied himself with the Third Prince and had already taken a stand in the future struggle for imperial power. He had already made arrangements for the future of his eldest granddaughter. If he became involved with other princes, it would only make things difficult for him.

"Since the master has said so, we will certainly respect him," the old lady lowered her eyes, then looked up at her son and daughter-in-law below, "Your uncle's family encountered a problem this time and came to me for help. Now that everyone is here, I will have a good talk with you."

Gu Baijiang frowned when he heard this. He didn't care how much the Xu family had taken from Xu Huizhen. He had even made a special trip to the Xu family before to give them some warnings. It had only been a short while since they had been quiet, but they started making trouble again.

Although the Xu family is not as prosperous as before, they are still a small landlord. The father-in-law still has a hundred acres of fertile land under his name. How difficult can their life be?

By the way, there is that useless brother-in-law who loves to gamble the most. But last time, I asked someone to contact several casinos. Could it be that he has found a new casino?
"Didn't I tell you not to interfere in the Xu family's affairs anymore?" he scolded coldly.

The old lady also knew how to control Gu Baijiang. "That's your in-laws' family, and also the child's maternal grandparents' family. How can you be so ruthless and unfaithful? How can it bring good reputation to our Gu family?"

Besides, it's not a big deal. I'm just short of money. I'm asking you to help me out, not to protect a criminal."

After Xu Huizhen finished speaking, she ignored Gu Baijiang and turned to look at Gu Kaiping. "Kaiping, tell me, do you care about your uncle's family affairs?"

Gu Kaiping, "..." How could he say this?
While racking her brains, Xu Huizhen turned to look at Gu Kaichen again, "Second brother, that's your uncle's family, and also your in-laws' family. What do you think about this?"

Without waiting for an answer, Xu Huizhen went straight to the next target.

Gu Kaiyuan wasn't around, so she went straight to Bai Suihe and said, "San'er isn't home, Bai, tell me, your grandparents are in trouble, will you help or not?"

Bai Suihe, "..." What's with that old woman's look? Does Bai Suihe owe the Xu family anything?
You asked the first and second wives, but it's just a formality. Why are you staring at me?
Bai Suihe lowered his head as if he was thinking. If he wanted to look, he could look. It wouldn't hurt.

But Xu Huizhen obviously didn't want to let her go. Instead, she asked again, "Bai, I'm asking you a question. Why don't you answer?"

Bai Suihe raised his head, his face filled with fear. "Mother, I don't understand these things. Let me see how my eldest and second brothers handle them. I will listen to my parents and my brothers."

Xu Huizhen gasped, wondering how Bai could be so slippery now, actually knowing how to divert the blame.

"Alright," Gu Baijiang saw through her intentions at a glance, "Kaiyuan is not at home, what can she, a woman, know?
Tell me, what happened to the Xu family?"

"The ancestral hall at home has been in disrepair for a long time. It rained a lot recently, and the east wall collapsed. The whole hall is in a state of collapse.

You know that our family only has a hundred acres of land, barely enough for the family's daily needs. We can't afford to build anything, so you've come to us for help." "Ms. Liu, please send ten taels of silver to the Xu family as a token of our appreciation."

"How can ten taels of silver be enough?" Xu Huizhen said immediately, "Rebuilding it all would cost at least several hundred taels of silver, and the ancestral tablets are a bit old..."

"Xu's," Gu Baijiang shouted angrily, "that's not our Gu family's ancestral hall. Although I'm not the head of the family, I'm not unfamiliar with these mundane matters.

I still remember that when I went back to burn incense and worship my ancestors and rebuild the Gu family ancestral hall, it only cost me a few dozen taels of silver.

What's the matter? Do you Xu family still want to add gold edging?"

Xu Huizhen was speechless. She still had some impression of this incident, but as time passed, she had forgotten about it. It seemed like that was the case at the time.

Looking at Xu Yulan again, I saw that her eyes were a little evasive. How could she not know?

"The Xu Family Ancestral Hall is the responsibility of the filial sons and grandsons of the Xu family. It has nothing to do with my Gu Mansion. Don't send the ten taels of silver. When the time comes, buy a cart of gifts and go to honor my father-in-law."

After Gu Baijiang finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and didn't pay much attention to Bai Suihe. San'er was not at home, so what could a woman know?

But at least he is a good one who knows how to listen to the opinions of his elders and brothers.

Xu Huizhen's fists were almost sweating. "But I've already come to your door to ask for help. If you don't help, my father will come again in a couple of days."

How could Gu Baijiang not hear the threat in Xu's words? He regretted again that he got married too early. Not only were Yue's family unhelpful, but they also always held him back.

When the old man from the Xu family comes to the house, he will act like an old master again. It will not be easy to send him away.

Even Liu Yun, who was watching the show on the side, felt a little uneasy at the moment. If the old man from the Xu family came over, the family would have no peace.

He is obviously just a small landlord, but he has many demands and they are high. If he really can't get what he wants, he will spend money to avoid disaster.

Gu Kaiping was also helpless about his mother's shameless behavior. "Mom, there will be a group of officials being transferred out due to the recent official changes. I want to..."

"Don't even think about it. Your father is in the capital. Can't he protect you, his son?" The old lady interrupted her eldest son. The master had wanted to send Kaiping away before, but she had been trying to stop him.

As the eldest son of the Minister of War, he was afraid that he would not have a place in the capital. If he worked hard for a few more years, he would be a new upstart in the court and a close minister to the emperor.

She was having a sweet dream here, but who knew that her older son always wanted to run away. How could this be possible?

You are being sent to different places all over the world, and you don’t know where you will be assigned. How can you feel at ease if you are sitting at your knees?

"There is no room for negotiation on this matter. If you and your son dare to hide it from me, I will definitely not agree." The old lady was being led astray again without realizing it.

Bai Suihe couldn't help but look at her with sympathy when he saw this change.
