If he hadn't misjudged people back then, he wouldn't have brought such a disaster to his son and daughter!

My daughter still refuses to remarry, and my son has never taken any imperial examinations for fear of bringing trouble to others!

He was in such a state that when he woke up in the middle of the night he wished he could be torn into pieces!

After hearing what his father said, Gu Yulang secretly glanced at Gu Yingxue and saw that her expression was indeed a little solemn.

In recent years, his scientific examination has become a taboo in the family and no one dares to mention it easily.

I will be sad for a while when I mention my father and little sister!

In fact, as the imperial examination held every three years drew closer, Gu Yulang was feeling a little depressed. After all, he read so much poetry and books just to change the Gu family's fortune.

But he had been holding it in and dared not show it. It was not easy for his younger sister to become more lively. He was afraid that if he showed his intention to take the imperial examination, his younger sister would become sentimental and think that she had implicated him, so he said nonchalantly:

"I won't take the exam anymore. I'm too old to be involved in the intrigues of the officialdom. The officialdom is too complicated and if you're not careful, it could bring disaster to the whole family. It's better for me to farm in the countryside and hunt wild animals when I'm free. I'll let Yichen and the younger ones take the exam in the future!"

Lin Zhixue only warned people not to guarantee him, and did not mention the younger generations. It should be no problem for the younger generations to take the imperial examinations.

Gu Yingxue's eyes welled up with tears after hearing what her elder brother said. She lowered her head to eat because she was afraid of being seen, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling.

Seeing that her mother was sad again, Gu Yiyao made a note in her little notebook about Lin Zhixue!

This scumbag father is really a bad guy. Tomorrow she will find an opportunity to ask her grandfather to agree to let her go to the capital to play for a few days. When she raids the scumbag father's house, she will give him a heart-eating pill that she made herself as a gift!

As father and daughter, this is what he deserves!

Yang was simple-minded and always believed in her husband's words. She nodded repeatedly after hearing what Gu Yulang said.

Her motivation for becoming an official's wife was to have enough food to eat. Now that she has enough to eat, why should she let her husband suffer? I heard that the imperial examinations are difficult and some people even lose half their lives after taking one!

"Why suffer that? Now I have food and drink at home, but it's not better than being an official!"

Yang’s highest ideal in life is to have enough food to eat and live like a god!

At first, she wanted to be an official's wife because she heard that such wives could eat three meals a day. Now, not only can she eat three meals a day, but she can also eat meat every day. Naturally, she no longer wants to be an official's wife.

"Dad, don't be anxious. Wait for my second brother, my younger brother, and I to practice for another two years. Once we have mastered all the skills, we will take the exam for you to become the top martial artist. By then, we can make friends with the dignitaries in the capital. I don't believe that the dignitaries in the capital will be afraid of Lin Zhixue!"

Gu Yuze hated to see Gu Xiucai feeling miserable. As soon as he saw Gu Xiucai's face turn gloomy, he would rush to comfort him, fearing that he would get sick from anger.

Taking the martial arts examination does not require someone to act as a guarantor like taking the imperial examination. As long as you are a good citizen, you can go to the arena to compete. However, only a few ordinary people would take part in the martial arts examination.

Although learning to read and write costs a lot of money, a family can still support a scholar if they grit their teeth and work together. But learning martial arts is not just spending money, it's burning money!

Not to mention how rare weapons and skills are!

When practicing martial arts, you need to take a lot of hot spring baths with medicinal packs that can restore damaged muscles and bones!

In addition, you need to take various medicinal foods to nourish your body on a daily basis, but these prescriptions are family secrets of some large families that are not passed on to others and are priceless.

In fact, even if ordinary people got the prescription, they couldn’t afford the herbs needed for a hot spring bath!

Moreover, as the cultivation becomes more and more advanced, the required medicinal materials become more expensive, which is simply not affordable for ordinary people.

The Gu family has Gu Yiyao, a little miracle doctor who is known as the last disciple of Taoist Kunlun.

Otherwise, Gu Yubai and his friends probably wouldn't be able to practice the second level of the martial arts Xie Tingzhou gave them. If they force themselves to continue, it might cause irreversible damage to their bodies!

Gu Yichen's eyes darkened. His family never mentioned Lin Zhixue in front of him and his sister.

But one day he accidentally overheard a conversation between his grandfather and his uncle, and learned the reason why his uncle had never taken the imperial examinations despite being extremely knowledgeable.

He also understood why his second and third uncles would clamor to go to the capital to beat up the bad guys every once in a while.

Therefore, little Gu Yichen has always had a strong desire in his heart. He studies hard every day and vows to become a higher official than the man who abandoned his wife and children!

Get back all the grievances that my mother and uncle have suffered!

Gu Yichen glanced at Gu Yiyao, who was eating happily with a heartless look on her face, and sighed inwardly.

Forget it, my sister is still young. If she knew their father was such a bad person, she would probably never be able to laugh again!

He can handle the revenge alone, so my sister should just live happily like this!

Gu Yiyao: “…”

I'm still young?! Brother, you are only a few seconds older than me, okay!

Besides, I knew it since I was in my mother’s womb!

You've just arrived! Go cool off!

"Dad, I heard that the old lady over there will only live these few days."

After dinner, Gu Yuze's wife, Xiao Gu, who was also Gu Dechang's youngest daughter, looked at Gu Xiucai, hesitated for a long time, and finally told him the news she had heard from her mother's family.

As soon as little Gu finished speaking, everyone in the room fell silent. Even Gu Yiyao, who was usually the most noisy, became quiet for a rare moment.

Gu Yiyao knew that the place her third aunt was talking about was actually her grandfather’s eldest brother’s home, and the old lady she was talking about was her grandfather’s biological mother.

Over the years, my grandfather has been unwilling to mention them or interact with them. It seems that he was badly hurt back then.

The old lady over there is almost 70 years old, which is considered old according to the average life expectancy in ancient times.

This old lady is really tenacious. She has been able to endure for so many years even though her daughter-in-law dislikes her so much. Gu Yiyao kept smacking her lips in her heart.

It seems that without modern technology and life, living a long life is not a dream as long as you don’t get sick!

"Hey, what do you think that old woman is doing? She has harmed our parents enough. Dad wants to eat peaches. Yaoyao brought them back today. They look delicious!"

Yang knew best how miserable the Gu family was when they fled to the south. It was she who discovered Mr. Gu fainted at the entrance of the village and ran home to bring him water!

If it weren't for this, just based on this favor, Gu Yulang, who is so handsome and a scholar, would never marry a girl from a lazy and scoundrel family like her!

How many girls in the same village were envious of her marriage back then!

Yang knew best the hardships that Gu Xiucai's family had experienced in their escape, and she hated this biased old lady the most. She would spit at her from a distance whenever she saw her!

"Eat peaches! Eat peaches! They are delicious!"

Gu Yiyao felt a little distressed when she saw her grandfather, who had always been strong, and saw a helpless and aggrieved expression on his face.
