"Then Han Yong... is the Young Patriarch's person, Han Yong's sister, and the Young Patriarch's side chamber. Hey, they don't trust me. The Patriarch and the Young Patriarch asked Han Yong to come to my South House to be the manager, so they have to work all the time.
Keep an eye on me and find excuses for me. It’s called helping me handle affairs, but in reality you are just an informer.” Gu Qian said softly.
Li Hui was even more stunned. He frowned for a while and said: "Since Dong Weng knows his identity and purpose, why do you still keep him by your side?"
Gu Qian sneered and said: "What should I do? Is it possible to break up with each other? Ignore the family's big plans? If I can ignore everything, I won't have to compromise until now. If I ignore the family's plans, the Gu family will be completely weakened and divided.
How can I live up to the ancestors of the Gu family? How can I live up to the family legacy that they have worked so hard for more than a hundred years? Hasn’t I become an unfilial descendant of the Gu family? Some people can ignore it, but I can’t. Hey, maybe this is my weakness.
, they knew my weakness and took advantage of my weakness."
Li Hui nodded slowly. It was for the sake of the overall interests of the Gu family that Gu Qian pretended to be confused and prevented the conflict from becoming public. Gu Chun, the head of the Gu family, and Gu Yan, the young head of the Gu family, saw this and took advantage of it.
"But, what does this have to do with me?" Li Hui asked with a frown.
"Haha, you still don't know that you ruined their big business. The father and son are always thinking about finding fault with me and taking back my right to run the manor. But they can't do it openly. This time Wu
The severe drought in the county is an excellent opportunity. Once the drought causes the manor to lose production and harvest, they will blame the incident on me. They will tell other tribesmen that it was my poor management and failure to prepare for rainy days, which led to heavy losses.
With this, I can be forced to hand over the management rights of the manor. In this way, I and my cousin Jinling will lose their right to speak in the family. They will no longer have to listen to me disagreeing with them on many things.
. However, you helped me solve my urgent need, and successfully predicted the coming of hurricanes and heavy rains, which made their plans fail. Don’t they hate you to the core? They can’t touch me, so they take it out on you. If they catch you making any mistakes, they will
I will punish you to death. This is the reason." Gu Qian sneered.
Li Hui's scalp was numb, and he had unintentionally been involved in the disputes within the Gu family. The head of the Gu family and the young head of the Gu family wanted to take over all the Gu family's properties. Due to the previous compromise agreement, they could not do it openly and wanted to take advantage of Gu.
Qian's mistake made Gu Qian take the blame and give in.
In order to gain a foothold, he volunteered to help Gu Qian solve the difficulties caused by the drought. As a result, he became a thorn in their side. Han Yong guessed that he had been watching him for opportunities. Last time in Mingjie Hall, today in Silk
The Pa incident is all about getting yourself killed.
In the last incident at Mingjie Hall, he was lucky and his prediction was successful. God helped him out of trouble in time. For today's incident, Gu Qian was out of trouble in time. Originally, Li Hui was surprised by what Gu Qian said to scold the eldest son Gu Chang in the front hall today.
Gu Qian's reprimand was almost merciless, which was quite surprising. But after hearing what Gu Qian said, Li Hui was not surprised at all. Gu Qian must have known their intentions, so
Only by speaking harsher words did Gu Chang and Han Yong not dare to make mistakes.
Li Hui was also sweating for himself. Fortunately, he bit his tongue tightly and did not reveal a word. Otherwise, the incident of breaking into the inner hall secretly became a fact, even if it was indeed to help Gu Qingning and get Gu Qingning's invitation.
, then it will be unclear and unclear. In that case, the matter will come to Gu Chun again, and then Gu Qian may not be able to protect himself.
"I...I don't know what to say. I never expected that there are so many hidden secrets in this. I am very confused now. Dong Weng, I am a little confused."
Li Hui was not being pretentious, he was indeed a little panicked. He did not expect that it would turn out like this. He only relied on the Gu family's power to seek development, but he did not intend to become the focus of the struggle between the two Gu families. What's the point of development?
From this point of view, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay in the Gu family for long. Two elephants are fighting in the house, and I am in the house. Moreover, I am a thorn in the side of one of the elephants. I will be trampled to death sooner or later.
Moreover, Li Hui was actually very confused as to how someone with Gu Qian's status could tell him so many secret things. What was his purpose? Since he was a scheming member of the Gu family, he should not tell such things to himself.
Tell others. What does he mean by telling himself?
"Hehehe, Li Hui, are you scared? It's no wonder that a seventeen-year-old boy will be extremely frightened when he hears these things. You don't have to be afraid. I just want to tell you the reason for what happened today.
To clear up the confusion in your mind. At least now you know why they are keeping an eye on you." Gu Qian said warmly.
Li Hui smiled bitterly and said: "I would rather not know these things. Knowing this will make me feel even more uneasy."
Gu Qian chuckled and said: "Young man from the Li family, don't be pretentious. It makes sense for me to tell you this. I can see that you are not a timid person. On the contrary, you are unwilling to accept others.
A person who is eager to seize opportunities. Yes or no?"
Li Hui said in astonishment: "Where did Dong Weng's words come from?"
"Young man from the Li family, I have met a lot of people in my life, so I think I can still recognize people. Some of your intentions cannot be hidden from me. No matter how forbearing you are, they can still be revealed through your words and deeds. You offered yourself to lead the way,
You said it was to repay a favor. I would like to believe that you have the intention to repay a favor, but it is not entirely out of repayment. This is because it carries a huge risk, and you may screw up and be severely punished. But you still did it, that’s it.
You want to use this to win my approval and give yourself a chance. Really or not?" Gu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Hui and said with a smile.
Li Hui looked at Gu Qian in surprise and opened his mouth to deny.
Gu Qian waved his hand and continued: "You don't have to explain, I don't mean to blame you. You dare to do this because you have extraordinary abilities. If you don't express yourself, how can I notice you?"
Li Hui had nothing to say, and Gu Qian really saw it.
"For my birthday, you gave me a chair. But you can give the drawings to the craftsmen to make them. The chair will be more beautiful and more exquisite. As a birthday gift, shouldn't you give me the most exquisite gift? But you just chose to do it.
You took the time to make it with your own hands. This is certainly to show your respect for me, but do you think it is a bit artificial? Especially your drawings, which are marked in such detail, are to prove that they were made by your own hands.
Because you knew someone would question it, so you were prepared. Is this too deliberate? You deliberately left ink on the paper so that I could see your calligraphy, right?"
Li Hui felt waves of heat in his body. He never expected that all his little tricks would be exposed by Gu Qian. Gu Qian was like a tapeworm living in his stomach, destroying all his thoughts at the time.
This is really embarrassing.
"Hehehe, boy, do you think I am a bit mean and have shaken all your thoughts out. There is no way, I am just like that. I can see everything clearly, and this is also my trouble. I also want to
It's a bit confusing, but unfortunately I can't do it." Gu Qian looked at Li Hui's embarrassed look and laughed.
Li Hui suddenly remembered what Gu Qian said when he accompanied Gu Qian to inspect the crops in the manor after the storm after he was wronged for the first time.
At that time, he pretended that he wanted to go back to Danyang County with his mother. Gu Qian said some nonsense to him. He said that he couldn't bear such a little grievance, how to get ahead, how to gain a foothold. He felt this at the time
Something sounded wrong. Perhaps from then on, he could see some of his thoughts. But he didn't think deeply about it at the time.
"I just hope that I can develop. At least I don't have to make my mother suffer, and I can make some progress. Moreover, I have not done anything detrimental to Dong Weng. I have a clear conscience." Li Hui said with cupped hands.
"Of course that's right. You don't have to worry, let alone explain. It's a good thing for young people to have ambitions. Moreover, I am willing to help you." Gu Qian waved his hand and smiled.
Li Huidao: "Dong Weng is really willing to help me?"
Gu Qian said: "Of course. Don't forget that your mother is also a member of my Gu family. Although you don't have the surname Gu, you are still my grandson. What's more, you solved my urgent need and suffered two unnecessary disasters.
, I owe you a favor. Tell me, I know you are not interested in the Gu family, so I must have other ideas. Tell me and see if I can help you."
At this time, Li Hui knew that there was no need to be pretentious and cover up. He had entered the Gu family with his own purpose, why not show his cards now? Gu Qian could help the best. If he couldn't help, he shouldn't stay in the Gu family for a long time. He should plan other ways as soon as possible.
, so as not to stay in the Gu family and become a victim between the head of the family and Gu Qian.
So he pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Since Dong Weng has asked me, I dare not hide it. I actually hope to get Dong Weng's help and give me a chance to be recommended by the Gu family to participate in the Zhongzheng review. I wonder if Dong Weng feels that I am rude.
.”
Gu Qian's eyes widened and he looked at Li Hui as if he were meeting him for the first time, with a look of disbelief on his face. It turned out that this was what Li Hui wanted, which was beyond Gu Qian's expectation.
