In the side room, Gu Xiuyun held his head with his left hand and frowned in deep thought.
This time he deliberately angered Gu Xiudan. He originally wanted to draw out various side branches, so as to find out his predecessor's situation in the family in one fell swoop.
Unexpectedly, he caught a big fish and provoked the big boss Gu Qingzheng.
"It seems that the maids in the courtyard are right. My predecessor is indeed full of misdeeds. If I were not my legitimate son, even ten deaths would not be enough." Gu Xiuyun thought to himself.
He heard all the discussions about the branches. After returning to the courtyard, he pulled Xiaocui and Xiaohe to his side, and after some insinuations, he finally figured it out. Understand the context of the four rooms of the Gu family.
The entire fourth house of the Gu family is almost controlled by the eldest master Gu Qingzheng. Although the second master and the third master are in charge of affairs in name, in fact they have been practicing in the main line and rarely return to the mansion.
The wives and children of the second master and the third master are left in charge of the wives of the two families.
Gu Xiuyun's mother, Mrs. Yu, is said to be from the direct lineage of the Yu family. Her natal family has considerable power among the Yu family. Gu Xiuyun is Mrs. Yu's only son. It is conceivable that he has been pampered since he was a child. When you grow up, it’s no wonder that you develop a domineering, dissolute and unscrupulous nature.
"My predecessor's misbehaving and ruining the family tradition may have something to do with his mother, Mrs. Yu." Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.
The so-called loving mother often loses her son. Gu Xiuyun was born in the direct line of the Gu family. He was of noble birth and had great talent. If he could cultivate it properly, how could he not have enlightened his spiritual veins yet?
Moreover, there were many maids in the yard, there were about twenty or thirty of them, but few of them were actually working. It was obvious that they were all Gu Xiuyun’s concubines. Mrs. Yu knew this but didn’t care. Ask, no wonder Mr. Yun became increasingly arrogant and arrogant, so much so that he finally lost his life!
Gu Xiuyun was too lazy to pay attention to the cause of his predecessor's death. This man had bad moral character and deserved his death. What he is thinking about now is how to enlighten his spiritual veins and find the emerald golden sword.
Under the restrictions of the rules of heaven and earth, Gu Xiuyun only has two years left in his lifespan. In this time, he cannot break through to the pulse-opening level. Only with the help of the horoscope can he extend his lifespan enough.
"It's a pity that now I have lost my destiny power, otherwise why would I be like a headless fly with no direction at all." Gu Xiuyun felt helpless.
Da da da!
A rush of footsteps came from the courtyard.
"Yun'er, Yun'er," Gu Xiuyun heard the woman's call before he saw the figure.
The next moment, a graceful middle-aged woman, surrounded by slaves and maids, walked into the side room.
"Yun'er, let me see where you are injured." The woman looked anxious, "How dare that old guy Gu Qingzheng flog you for two full times?" "Hundred whips!"
"Mom, why are you here?" Gu Xiuyun looked helpless, "I'm so good, the servants in the house are just pretending, how dare you really whip me?"< /p>
Speaking, Gu Xiuyun exposed his arms and thighs. There were only faint red marks on them, which would disappear in a day or two at most. This kind of skin trauma was nothing to him.
"My poor Yun'er, how long have you ever suffered such a crime?" The middle-aged woman had tears in her eyes, "Gu Qingzheng, this old ghost, actually wants to lock you up in the Alchemy Tower, and you won't be allowed to do so for half a year. Come out, don't worry, I will go to the main channel to find your father tomorrow and let him make the decision for you. I will never let you suffer in the Alchemy Pagoda."
"Don't," Gu Xiuyun waved his hand quickly, " Mom, I know I have failed my family this time, and I feel guilty. I think the reason is that I was too arrogant in the past and neglected to study, which led to today's situation."
"If you can enter the Alchemy Pagoda and practice hard in seclusion for half a year, you will have a much greater chance of enlightening your spiritual veins next time."
Gu Xiuyun explained bravely.
The Alchemy Pagoda contains countless secret scrolls of the Gu family's skills, which are extremely helpful to his practice. How could Madam Yu destroy it?
"Yun'er, you can think like this, it seems you have really grown up!"
Mrs. Yu showed a look of relief. She also understood that Gu Xiuyun had done what he had done in the past. There are many wrong things, but in the world of parents, how can any parent not care about their children?
So no matter what ridiculous things Gu Xiuyun does, Mrs. Yu will try her best to deal with the aftermath.
Now that Gu Xiuyun has voluntarily gone to the Alchemy Pagoda to practice hard, Mrs. Yu is happy and no longer talks about asking his father to make the decision!
......
In the next few days, Gu Xiuyun kept wandering around the mansion, chatting with several maids from time to time, trying to find out the traces of the emerald golden sword.
Poor those maids, they thought that the romantic young master with the reputation of You Ningcheng was interested in them, so they were so frightened that they didn't dare to sleep for several days.
In addition, he also dug out a lot of books and asked the maids in the courtyard to read through them. It was called a test of knowledge, but in fact he was quietly learning characters.
The world where his predecessor lived was exactly the same as his original Chinese language, but the writing was very different. Of course, even if the writing was not different, he would have to learn it from scratch.
"Now I know how important reading and writing is!"
Gu Xiuyun looked up to the sky and sighed.
......
A few days later, a servant suddenly called Gu Xiuyun and asked him to go to the main hall of the front yard to meet the eldest master.
"The elder is calling me?" Gu Xiuyun rolled his eyes, "It seems that he is going to send me to the Alchemy Pagoda!"
Thinking of this, he felt excited. .
It is rumored that the Alchemy Scripture Tower contains countless classics and secrets, as well as records of the world's immortal families. In Gu Xiuyun's heart, that place is as important as the horoscope.
The main hall in the front yard.
The elder had a sullen look on his face, and there were several white-haired old men sitting on both sides, looking rather unkindly.
There are faint spiritual fluctuations around these old men. They are obviously practitioners who have stepped into the immortal gate and enlightened their spiritual veins.
FollowAccording to the rules of the Gu family, anyone who ascends to immortality can become the protector of the Gu family. When the children of the clan see him, they must respectfully call him master.
Seeing Gu Xiuyun walking into the hall, the elder immediately shouted angrily: "You son of a bitch, why don't you kneel down!"
"Uncle, what mistake did I make?" Gu Xiuyun said. Face blank.
"What's wrong? Don't you know it?" The elder's eyes seemed to be on fire. "In the past few days, young ladies from all walks of life have come to me and said that you molested their maids. , are you guilty of trying to force yourself?"
"It turns out that I was snitched on," Gu Xiuyun felt relieved. Although he has never experienced this kind of drama of infighting among wealthy families, as a The Tianming clan has also seen many of them, "Uncle, although my nephew has been walking around the garden a lot in the past few days and chatted with many maids, he walks upright and sits upright, and there is absolutely no overstep."
"I can't see it, Suyan, please come out and talk about it!" the old man on the side said coldly.
The next moment, a maid came out of the back hall, crying like pear blossoms with rain, "Reporting to the great master, all masters, Mr. Yun forced me to a remote place the day before yesterday in an attempt to be frivolous. I don't want to , but because of the noble status of the young master, he did not dare to resist..."
Before he finished speaking, the maid Suyan was already crying and choking, as if she had been greatly humiliated.
"Master, you heard it too," the old man sitting on one side said coldly, "Suyan is not only a maid, she is also my goddaughter. Gu Xiuyun did such a beastly thing, but also... What qualifications do you have to go to the Alchemy Pagoda?"
"Gu Xiuyun, what else do you have to say?" the elder said angrily.
"It turns out they want to prevent me from entering the Alchemy Sutra Tower." Gu Xiuyun was secretly suspicious.
