Chapter 203 Unfilial Son

Gu Mingda touched her little head and said, "You don't have to go out to study. Daddy will teach you personally."

When ordinary children hear this, they will probably feel sad because they are treated differently.

But Niuniu was different. She said excitedly: "Okay, okay, I can stay with my parents at home."

Zhang Yuniang glanced at her husband doubtfully.

Gu Mingda was happy to see Niuniu, and he was relieved. There was indeed a women's school in the capital, but he only glanced at it and ran away in a hurry. The women's schools in the capital did not cultivate female students, but virtuous and virtuous daughters-in-law. .

The girls' school is not only extremely strict, but also very expensive. The purpose is to raise the value of my daughter so that she can marry as high as possible in the future.

Gu Mingda thought about it and realized that it would be difficult for him to teach three children at once, but if it was just Niuniu, it wouldn't be a big problem.

In the evening, Gu Mingda heard Zhang Yunniang talk about white sugar, and immediately said: "Buy some brown sugar first and verify it to see if what this girl said is true."

"Is our family really going to start a sugar business?" Zhang Yunniang asked worriedly.

Gu Mingda said: "Of course I won't do it, but now that we know about it, we use it as a trump card in our hands. Maybe we can protect our family at some point."

Zhang Yunniang nodded in agreement, then started to worry about tomorrow.

"Although the Duke's Mansion has sent a greeting card, I don't know if it sincerely apologizes. The Duke's wife seems to be difficult to get along with. I don't know how to deal with it tomorrow."

Several days later, the imperial censor heard that a dandy from Duke Xian's mansion had injured an official of the imperial court in the street. Only then did Duke Xian learn of the good deeds of his second son, and he hurriedly paid his respects to the Sun and Gu families. post.

"Don't worry too much. Most of the people who come to our house tomorrow will be a certain young master from the palace. The Duke and his wife are concerned about face. They will go to Sun's house to apologize at most, and they probably won't come to our house. You should take a closer look then. , If you sincerely apologize, just accept the gift and forget about it," Gu Mingda said.

When the trouble reached this point, Duke Xian was reprimanded by the emperor and was completely humiliated.

The Gu family was weak and no one was actually injured, so it was unlikely that they would swing the whip back.

"What if it's not true?" Zhang Yunniang asked.

Gu Mingda lowered his eyebrows, clenched his fists, and said, "Then we can only hope for the future."

Gu Mingda knew in his heart that in the final analysis, he was still too weak, which was why his family was humiliated at the city gate that day.

In the upper room of Duke Xianguo's mansion, Duke Xianguo was losing his temper at his wife.

"What happened at the city gate has been happening for so many days. You didn't know that I would just let it go. Now it's time for the second son to go out to apologize, and you still want to stop him? I didn't know that the second son is so valuable. If you really want to do this, why don't you do it with me? The prince has done it for him too!"

When Mrs. Xian Guo heard this, she felt aggrieved and said, "They are just a group of poor people from other places. Is it worth saying something?"

Duke Xian threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground with force on the spot.

"Where do you want to be in the Hanlin Academy? Why do you want to be ranked second in the new department? No. 1 and No. 2! There are so many intricate connections behind ordinary Jinshis. Their teachers, fellow contemporaries, fellow villagers, who knows which real Buddha they will offend! Do you really think they are? Ordinary people?"

Mrs. Xianguo was almost splashed by the broken porcelain fragments. She was so frightened that she took two steps back and murmured: "My father is a cabinet minister..."

Hearing this, Duke Xian became even more angry and said: "Don't show off to Lao Taishan every day! He is a cabinet minister. Can he stop His Majesty from reprimanding me? If I get scolded for what you did, I will do it." Even Lao Taishan accused me of not being strict with my children!"

Duke Xian was angry and aggrieved. No one looked at the eldest son he and his mother had taught him and said he was a gentleman.

The second son had been raised under his wife's knees since he was a child. He was spoiled by her to the point where he was unable to do anything, and he was still causing trouble outside all day long. He couldn't understand why his wife was clearly present at the city gate that day, why he couldn't handle even this little thing well.

Mrs. Xianguo lowered her head guiltily, but she still couldn't help but defend her second son: "Mr. Guo, it's not that I mean to shirk the blame, but for some reason my second son has developed an itchy rash all over his body these past few days. Please, please Even though the doctor prescribed medicine, it had no effect, and I really couldn’t go out.”

When Duke Xian heard this, he couldn't help showing a look of disgust on his face, and then he scolded his wife fiercely: "It's all you who manipulated him! When he was young, he learned Mianhua Suliu's dandy skills, and got into trouble. The disease is back!"

Mrs. Xian Guo Gong felt sorry for her son, but she had never thought about Hualiu's illness. When she heard what Duke Xian Guo said, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

"No...it's impossible, the waiter has always been well-behaved..." Mrs. Xianguo murmured.

Duke Xian sneered and said, "If you were really obedient, you wouldn't have made such a big mistake. Which doctor did you hire? Have you ever warned him carefully? If the news leaks out, our Duke's mansion can't afford to lose this person." !”

Mrs. Xianguo said in a low voice: "It's Doctor Liu. He has always been tight-lipped, so he shouldn't talk nonsense outside."

Duke Xian breathed a sigh of relief. Doctor Liu could be regarded as a half-dedicated official in the palace, and he would not talk nonsense outside for the sake of his own job.

However, Mrs. Xianguo said with a wink: "The rash on the waiter's body has not gone away. I originally wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

Duke Xian couldn't help but get angry again, and said: "What kind of imperial doctor should I hire? I won't be embarrassed enough if the imperial hospital records the pulse. I would rather he die of itching like this!"

Mrs. Xian Guogong was reluctant to let her son suffer, and said, "Duke, although Xiao Er is a little naughty, he is also your own son..."

Duke Xian said directly, "I wish I didn't have such a son."

Mrs. Xian Guogong looked unhappy.

Duke Xian said again, "Let him get over it tomorrow. At most, he will be wrapped up tightly."

"Xiao Er doesn't want to go out. He is in a bad mood. Why make things difficult for him?"

Duke Xian was angry again: "He is in a bad mood. Am I in a good mood? A loving mother often spoils her son. He caused the trouble himself, but he didn't apologize. Instead, he asked others to clean up the mess for him!"

Mrs. Xian Guogong was still reluctant to force her second son.

Duke Xian sent someone to inform Qin Er of the matter on the spot.

But the person sent back soon, trembling to report to the Duke and his wife: "Duke, Madam, the second young master said... the second young master said... if he is forced to apologize again, he will hang himself."

Hearing this, Duke Xian wanted to smash the cup again, but when he looked down, his cup was gone, so he could only slam the table and curse: "This rebellious son, let him hang himself!"

Mrs. Xian couldn't help crying, and said to her husband: "Duke, look at what you have forced the second young master to do, he really can't go."

Duke Xian had a gloomy face and said: "If he doesn't go, his elder brother will have to go. Are you going to bother Jing'er for such a trivial matter?"
