Yue Huanshan frowned and looked at Gu Changan deeply, "Brat, don't overestimate yourself."
"May I ask what is the power that Sir is talking about?" Gu Changan was unmoved, neither servile nor overbearing. Huarong gave Brother Seven a thumbs up in her heart, he really gave her face.
Although the Minister had retired, Yue Huanshan was still working in the Six Divisions, so this' Sir 'was just right.
Yue Huanshan did not expect such a question, he thought that Yue Huanshan would kneel down and ask for help like in the dramas.
He suddenly became interested and decided to have a good talk with him.
"My Yue Clan has been a scholarly family for generations, you are not worthy." His words made everyone in the Gu Clan change their expressions, including Lin Heqing who felt that it was too much, he had never said that the Gu Clan was inferior.
Gu Changan was not angered, he looked at Yue Huanshan calmly, "So? Don't tell me that the Yue Clan never had a time when it was about to collapse? "
"Shut up!" Yue Huanshan was furious, he was actually angered by Gu Changan.
"Since ancient times, there has always been a decline in prosperity, there is no such thing as eternal prosperity, moreover …" He paused for a moment, then slowly continued, "There will always be a decline in prosperity."
"Look, this is the person you found?!" Yue Huanshan realized that he was already angered by Gu Changan, he could not win against him, so he used this as an excuse to question the sister behind Gu Changan.
Without waiting for the Yue Clan's lady to speak, Gu Changan quickly said, "It was Sir who wanted to teach me what is power, but now it seems that Sir knows nothing about it." He said slowly, unhurriedly.
Huarong almost laughed out loud, although his Brother Seven was gentle, he was definitely not a soft persimmon, he was the best at hitting the snake's weak point.
Yue Clan was still in power yesterday, didn't they lose their power today? It was obvious that their decline was only a matter of time.
"Little brat, what do you know?" Yue Huanshan flicked his sleeves and turned around. It could be seen that he was really angry.
However, after provoking him, Gu Changan said sincerely, "Although there are ups and downs in the world, I, Gu Changan, will be faithful to Miss Yue until my death. I will not deliberately treat her politely because of her family's prosperity, nor will I treat her harshly because of her family's decline. All I will do is to treat her the same as before."
"Anything, as long as she wants it." Gu Changan turned to look at the woman behind him and pulled her up. "Even if I have to risk my life, I will do it."
When Huarong saw this, he thought to himself, "No way, right? Brother Seven has fallen? Did he really seduce … Bah, did he really have feelings for Miss Yue? It had only been a few days! That was too fast!
"Anything?" Yue Huanshan turned his head disdainfully. "Can you take the imperial examinations? Can you fight for the honor of a noble title for her? You can't! "
In this dynasty, merchants couldn't take the imperial examinations. Even if you were extremely smart and rich, you still couldn't take the imperial examinations, let alone fight for a noble title for your wife.
Huarong looked coldly at Yue Huanshan. This was too much!
"I don't want it! I don't want any noble title, I don't want any honor of being an official's wife. I only want him, I don't want anything else. " Miss Yue loudly expressed her attitude. She was crying just now, but after being pulled up by Gu Changan, her attitude became firm.
Perhaps, this was the power of love?
"What do you know? When you find out that your former friends, or even your former enemies, have a higher status than you and live better than you, when you go out and meet those madams, they will bully you without restraint. When you can no longer fight back as you wish, you will know how important a noble title is, and how important it is for your husband to have an official position. "
"Big brother!" Miss Yue cried out desperately. "Mother has enough honor, right? A first-rank noble madam. Everyone below the imperial concubine level doesn't need to be so formal. But is she happy? That kind of honor, I would rather not have it. "
"If a first-rank noble title is like this, without a noble title, it must be even more unbearable."
"There are millions of women without a noble title in the world. Don't they need to live? I live my own life, why should I compare myself with others? I don't live with them! "
The brother and sister quarreled in front of everyone. Huarong was stunned.
Just when everyone thought that Gu Changan had lost, he said, "Without an official position, you will be bullied? Without a status? Lord Yue, I'm afraid you don't know Old Master Fu. Old Master Fu's era is too long ago. Let's talk about the godly doctors on Qilin Mountain. They also don't have an official position, but don't the high officials and dignitaries treat them like distinguished guests? "
Yue Huanshan suddenly laughed. "You dare to compare yourself to Mr. Fu? Mr. Fu is erudite and knowledgeable. What are you? Don't think that you are amazing just because you can match two couplets. "
"I am not talented, but I know that I have to be honest. The couplets were not matched by me, but by my sister."
Gu Changan was born with bright eyes and white teeth. He was gentle and elegant. When he spoke, there was a tenacity in his gentleness. People couldn't help but listen carefully. He said that he didn't write the couplets himself, which made people admire him.
It didn't seem funny to say that he was more arrogant than the great scholars of the previous dynasty. It was as if he could be compared to the great scholars of the previous dynasty.
Huarong saw Brother Seven boast for the first time, but he was very sure that Brother Seven was not worse than those people.
Yue Huanshan found that he didn't know what to say. He pointed at Gu Changan and said angrily, "Remember what you said today. Don't make people laugh their heads off."
"Everyone has seen Old Seven's literary talent. He has won first place in several poetry gatherings. Lord Yue, don't be angry when you see Old Seven's achievements." The one who answered was indeed Gu Weiren. He raised Gu Changan. No one could bully him. He was a scholar. A scholar was noble and would rather die than bend.
He endured for a long time and finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Good, very good." Yue Huanshan seemed to have found a breakthrough. Just now, he was only talking to Gu Changan. Now, Fifth Master Gu had spoken. Although Fifth Master Gu lived a celestial life, he was still an elder and could represent the Gu family. "This is the Gu family's attitude? This is the Gu family's explanation? "
Gu Weikai was so angry that his face was ashen. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had a position in the imperial court and his family was just a merchant's family, he would have called for people to chase him out. This time, Fifth Brother couldn't take it anymore and didn't apologize humbly. It might bring disaster to the family, but he would never let Fifth Brother apologize.
As the elder brother, he inherited the family business. He had the responsibility to protect his younger brother from being beaten down by the world. If it had been Gu Weiren who said those words, he could have said a few words of apology. But it had to be Gu Weiren.
"Miss Yue and Old Seven are in love. If she is willing to enter the Gu family, we will treat her as a proper daughter-in-law of the Gu family. We will not treat her unfairly. If she is unwilling, we will not force her. Our Gu family has come to this day in an upright manner. We are not afraid of anything."
"Eldest Brother, please fulfill my wish." Miss Yue's teary eyes were pleading. Huarong's heart softened at the sight of this, but Yue Huanshan's heart was stone.
He pointed at Miss Yue and said angrily, "Our Yue family has never had a low-status in-law. If you insist on staying in the Gu family, that is fine."
