Farming and reading lady

The national teacher was invited to visit the Pearl and Jade City, but Gu Xixian went to find the ancestor. She wanted to complain: "Ancestor, the national teacher of Aowu Country said that if I go to Aowu Country to do hard labor for them, they will consider giving me a concubine."

Well, you have to tell the truth when you make a complaint. Asking her to go to Aowu Country to popularize sweet potatoes is to make her do hard labor, that's absolutely true.

"What? The Yan family is so damn shameless that they want my master to do hard labor for them and also want my master to be their concubine. How can they be so shameless?" The old ancestor slammed the table and stood up. The boy from the Yan family was going too far.

The little chicken of Gu Xixian was pecking at the rice, and its little head was almost dizzy. What the ancestor said is exactly what I agree with.

After much discussion, the ancestors formally sent the three Ning Anwei brothers to Beijing to deliver a letter - a declaration of war! The Gu family was going to quarrel with the Yan brothers. This was too harsh. The uncle could tolerate it, but the ancestors could not.

The father and son of the Yan family received the fiery declaration of war and were confused. What happened that required such a large-scale mobilization? There was no news at all. The father and son looked at each other and speculated: What evil things did the father (son) do?

Looking at the other families, Yan and Gu have always been in the same boat. What big event has happened to make the two families so hostile? Could it be that the Yan family is really like what the Leng family said, that the young master of the Yan family has someone else in mind?

After much speculation but with no answer, everyone came to the Yan family to find out the truth.

The atmosphere in the capital was tense. The emperor, who was high up in the imperial court, sensed something was wrong and quickly sent Wei Da to investigate. When he learned that the Yan and Gu families were going to go to war, he was stunned and speechless. Which side should he stand on? Or should he just sit on the other side and watch the fire? No, being a fence-sitter will be blown away by the wind. Think about it again.

The faces of the Yuan Laozu were serious, and they spoke earnestly: "Nianjun, the thirteen families are of the same blood and have deep brotherly love. Why would it come to this point, and be laughed at by outsiders in vain? Think about it carefully, isn't this the truth?"

Yan Nianjun had no words to express his grievances. He really did nothing, but everyone felt that they were the cause of the war.

"Grandfather, I have checked with everyone in my family and nothing out of the ordinary has happened recently. I really don't know what caused this declaration of war." He explained again with a bitter face.

"I heard that your son has fallen in love with someone else. Even if you can't be in-laws, you can't be enemies, right? The little girl from the Gu family is not a stingy person. If you hadn't gone too far, she wouldn't take it to heart." Old Ancestor Duanmu didn't believe him. He had a good impression of the little girl, and it was his great-grandson who highly praised her. If the age difference between them was not so big, he would have thought that the two of them had some ambiguous relationship.

While Yuan Laozu was speaking, his eyes never left Yan Nianjun's. He could confirm that the cause of this matter might not really be the Yan family. He said, "The one who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Since you think the cause is not in your family, you'd better go to the Gu family and make it clear. We, the thirteen families, cannot allow such a thing to happen."

Otherwise, with so many fishermen on the shore, I don’t know who will benefit from it, but the biggest one must be the royal family.

Yan Nianjun nodded helplessly, and pleaded again: "Grandmaster, I have the intention, but I can't get in. I beg the ancestors to mediate a little."

He went to the ancient house, but Gu Xihao refused to see him. When he went to the Gu family's land, Gu Lierui, who stayed in Beijing, glared at him and kicked him out before he could even finish a sentence. So, what did their Yan family do to make everyone in the Gu family target them?

The Yuan Laozu nodded and said, "Then I and a few others will go there on your behalf and find out the reason."

Gu Shaoye left Beijing, but the thorny roses in the courtyard were still in full bloom. Gu Lierui welcomed several ancestors to sit down in the courtyard without any extra words. He knew why they came, and he was still angry. It didn't matter who came. The little girl in their family was the apple of their eye, and her father was willing to give up his position as the patriarch for her, and wanted to follow him to protect her. The Yan family actually insulted her with a "concubine", and he, as an uncle, couldn't stand it.

Ancestor Xiao shook his head helplessly. This is how the Gu family is. If he respects you, he will risk his life for you. If he is angry with you, sorry, even the king of heaven will not sell it to you. Brother Yuan is still putting on airs. Let him start this one: "Xiao Rui, what kind of existence are our Thirteen Families? You should know the limits in your heart. If the Yan and Gu families really fight, how serious the consequences will be. Have you ever thought about it?"

Gu Lierui had a blank expression on his face, but he spoke forcefully, "We don't fight for bread, we fight for our dignity. No one in our clan fears life or death."

"Why would it be so?" Everyone was puzzled. They had never heard of any deep hatred between the two families.

Gu Lie Rui thought for a moment and said, "I know the purpose of the ancestors' visit. However, the family head's prestige cannot be violated. The Gu family had no choice but to go to war."

What does that mean? What does it mean that the family head's prestige is inviolable? I haven't heard that anything happened to the Gu family?

"As far as we know, the head of the Gu family is running her university in the northern border. Where did the rumor that her reputation was invaded come from? Xiaorui, don't let someone with ulterior motives take advantage of you." Old Ancestor Wu spoke earnestly, fearing that young people might act impulsively and do something irreversible.

Gu Lierui took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over: "This is a handwritten letter from my ancestor."

Ancestor Wu took it, and the other ancestors stretched their heads to look at it, and then looked at each other in bewilderment...

The letter read: ... Tell all the members of my Gu family that the Yan family secretly sent people to capture my head of the family and send him to the cold wilderness to do hard labor, and lured him to work as a concubine. The head of the family was unwilling, and the people threatened to wipe out the entire Gu family... This is a great shame and humiliation, which can be tolerated by scholars, but not by me...

The three pages are filled with words, and apart from the theme, the rest is mostly about expressing resentment and anger.

Looking at this somewhat distorted letter, several ancestors had strange expressions, but upon closer inspection, it did not look like someone had forged it, it was indeed written by the old ancestor of the Gu family. So... is the Yan family really so arrogant?

Is this a drama about a man who fails to marry a wife and is forced to become a concubine? Isn't this a bit too far-fetched?

"Haha, Xiao Rui, does your ancestor have any specific arrangements or instructions?" Patriarch Duanmu carefully probed. If the Yan and Gu families really fought, which side would he stand on? The Yan family? Or the Gu family? Oh, it's so difficult to choose.

Gu Lierui bowed and said, "Please forgive me, elders, for not being able to tell you."

If he sold out information before the war, he would be hacked to death, so he didn't dare and couldn't do it.

The four old ancestors looked at each other and said, "Xiao Rui, the old men should go back first. Young people, don't be impulsive. Don't be impulsive."

Go home and think of a solution. Should you take a share of the pie afterward? Or should you line up in advance? You need to think carefully. You need to think carefully.

The ancestors who left in a hurry returned to their respective homes, but they finally did not forget to bring a message to the Yan family.

Yan Nianjun handed the letter to his son: "Take a look, what does this mean?"

"Dad, could it be that someone in the clan was so smart that they sent someone out?" According to the letters sent by several ancestors, the Gu family was very sure that this was indeed the case. Yan Tian couldn't help but doubt it.

Yan Nianjun's wrinkles were crossed into vertical lines. He was very sure that no one in the capital would dare to do such a thing. "Could it be that something strange happened over there?"

Both the father and the son knew exactly which side was that.

Yan Tian said: "The ancestors are very optimistic about the marriage between our two families, and they will not interfere in such a small matter."

"What about the others?" Yan Nianjun blurted out, and then the father and son thought of someone at the same time.
