The old man of the Feng family has become more and more reclusive in recent years. It is difficult for others, including Mr. Feng, to see him. Gu Qiancheng is definitely honored to see him again.
Gu Qiancheng did not keep Mr. Feng waiting for long. He quickly collected himself and followed the servants to the courtyard where Mr. Feng lived.
I haven't seen him for half a year, but Mr. Feng is still the same, his clothes are not showing off, his aura has all restrained, the light in his eyes is covered by drooped eyelids, he looks like an ordinary grandfather, it is easy for people to put down their guard.
When Gu Qiancheng came in, Mr. Feng was already sitting there arranging a chess game. Seeing Gu Qiancheng come in, he raised his hand to signal her not to salute, "You are not a polite person, so don't be so pretentious."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in these words, and Gu Qiancheng smiled bitterly, roughly understanding what was going on.
What she did to the Gu family was too outrageous for people of this era and could not be accepted by most people. Mr. Feng had already made up his mind that he would at least be willing to see her. If he were more conservative, he would definitely beat her out.
Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to be disrespectful, so he bowed honestly and politely before walking up to Mr. Feng. He didn't say a word and just stood there, looking a bit like an elder admitting his mistake.
Mr. Feng glanced at it and did not embarrass Gu Qiancheng, "Sit down."
As soon as Gu Qiancheng sat down, he heard Mr. Feng muttering to himself: "You seem to be a good boy who knows how to be a governor, but he is so impulsive. Don't you know what you can do and what you can't do?"
Gu Qiancheng pretended to be dead and said nothing, silently took out the pieces from the chess arena and dropped them obediently.
"Filial piety is the foundation of the world. If a person is not filial to his parents and elders, can you expect him to be sincere to others?" Unfilial piety means that there is a problem with one's character. Such a person cannot stand in the world.
"Only when you have endured hardship can you become a master. Don't say that your old lady just makes you kneel down and kowtow. Even if she beats you to death, you can't even say no. She is your grandmother."
"No matter what the Gu family is like, it is an indisputable fact that they raised you up. Even if you can forget the kindness of raising you, what kind of kindness can you remember?"
"The world seems to be peaceful, but what can a woman do? Without the help of her family, father and brother, you can't survive alone, let alone getting married. There is no shortage of evil people in this world."
…
Mr. Feng was making moves while scolding him. He didn't need Gu Qiancheng to answer, and Gu Qiancheng didn't dare to say anything. She just played chess honestly, with her head buried low. No one knew what she was thinking.
After more than half of the chess pieces fell, Mr. Feng finally stopped scolding him and said in disgust: "After such a long time, why has your chess skill not improved at all?" The game was so boring.
"I've been very busy recently." So, I don't have time to memorize chess games.
"You are indeed busy. You are running around with King Qin Xihu and Northern Qi, even if you don't care about your life. You are very brave." Mr. Feng would speak out of pure love for the younger generation. If he looked down on someone, he would
Don't bother to speak at all.
In this world, there are only a few people who can be personally trained and taught by Mr. Feng.
"Without a family to rely on, I have to fight for a protective umbrella for myself." Gu Qiancheng said it sadly, and it was not true.
Mr. Feng paused, but his tone was not as harsh as before, "Why bother, forcing yourself to this point." It was obvious that there was no need to fight to the death, but he chose the most tragic method, and in the end both sides suffered losses.
"It's not bitter. Some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated. Some things are more important than life. Life is too short. I am willing to pay for my family, but I don't want to live for it. I am a human being, a living person."
She couldn't let the Gu family manipulate her arbitrarily.
"Don't the Gu family treat you as a human being?" Mr. Feng asked. As a wise elder, he loves and hates children like Gu Qiancheng who are disobedient to their elders.
I love their talents and aspirations, and hate their disobedience, but they just don't get along.
"Really?" Gu Qiancheng asked back, his tone not showing any trace of bitterness, just plain, but it made people feel distressed for no reason.
"That's it, that's it." Mr. Feng realized that he was full of words and couldn't persuade him anymore. "Whatever cause you sow, you will get what kind of result. Everything is destiny."
"Yes, everything is fate." Gu Qiancheng sighed softly.
No one wants a relative like the Gu family, but everything is fate and there is no choice.
She was obviously a teenage girl, but her tone was more mature than that of an old man. Thinking of Gu Qiancheng's agility and calmness when they first met, Mr. Feng couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and said softly: "Girl, you really have to make sure you want to
Take this path?" Being involved in the struggle for imperial power is not an easy thing for a man, let alone a woman.
"I have no choice." She had to do this in order to completely get rid of the Gu family.
"Are you sure it's him? Don't you regret it?" Mr. Feng raised his head, his slightly cloudy eyes showed the wisdom of seeing everything. Gu Qiancheng knew that he could not lie and must face it honestly.
Gu Qiancheng made a move and nodded heavily at the same time: "I'm sure, I won't regret it."
"Actually, my grandson is also very good." Mr. Feng was quite regretful. Although he was not suitable for Gu Qiancheng in many ways, it was rare for a girl to catch his eye.
"You can't reach high." This is really true, but Mr. Feng is not happy, "You can't reach high, the royal family?"
"It's different. He has no parents and no escape route." Gu Qiancheng's words were not obscure. How could Mr. Feng not understand.
Qin Jiyan's identity is there. Once he can inherit the throne, no one can interfere with his affairs. With Qin Jiyan's strength, not even the courtiers can influence his decision.
Similarly, once he cannot inherit the throne, there is no need to think about it.
"Why bother, choose the most difficult path for yourself." Mr. Feng still felt sorry for Gu Qiancheng. After thinking about it, he added, "The five-year agreement between our Feng family and you is still valid."
"If the old man feels it is necessary, then just let it go. It will be a good idea to get engaged to the eldest son in about five years." In five years, the old emperor's lifespan can only last for five or six years at most. If he marries a wife now, it will be a good idea.
If King Zhao is accidentally involved, the struggle between King Zhou and Qin Jiyan will become troublesome, and five years later...
After the dust settled, the Feng family no longer had so many worries about choosing a wife for Feng Sijin.
"Ahem..." Mr. Feng felt quite uncomfortable when his little thoughts were exposed. "Girls, don't think too much about it." He can see things better than men, and his life is much more tiring.
"Yes." Gu Qiancheng agreed obediently and smiled for the first time after coming in, a smile from the heart. Because she knew that Mr. Feng recognized her and no longer cared about her rebellion, and that was enough.
Although people should not care about the opinions and evaluations of others when they are alive, how many people can really do it? At least Gu Qiancheng can't do it. Gu Qiancheng is very happy to be understood by Mr. Feng...
