Chapter 1818 1819 The Man Who Fell Into the Hole
"If it was changed before, my Long family would naturally be embarrassed to make such a request, but now, outsiders don't know about the situation of the Gu family, doesn't the owner of the Gu family know that, if Yu He can marry the eldest son of my family? Concubine, that is her good fortune, otherwise the first Huayu Temple is over, she is afraid that she will not even have a place to stand." Butler Wan said calmly.
"Shut up, don't say that my Gu family hasn't collapsed yet, even if it does, my granddaughter of Gu Qingyang will never be humiliated and see off guests!" Gu Qingyang served tea to see off guests.
"Patriarch Gu, don't be angry yet, it's not too late to make a decision after thinking clearly about some things." Instead of leaving, Steward Wan picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking confident.
"Yeah, Patriarch Gu, Steward Wan is right. It's not too late to think about such an important matter before making a decision." Several other old men in the room stepped forward to persuade.
"Patriarch Zhou, Patriarch He, Patriarch Xie, what do you mean?" Seeing the old men in front of him, Xu Qingyang's expression changed slightly.
These people are friends who have been with him for many years, but they said this at this time, obviously speaking for the Long family, which added a bit of sadness to his already angered heart.
"Patriarch Gu, I don't hide it from you. When I came here before, I had already discussed it with these patriarchs. As long as you are willing to agree to this marriage, my Long family will definitely support your business in the future. If you If you don't agree, then don't blame our Long family for not giving face. If I'm not mistaken, your Gu family is now relying on points to make money. If there is no business from these families, I will see what the Gu family will do. What to do?" Speaking of which, Butler Wan did not hide it, and threatened directly.
Although he had guessed the result earlier, Gu Qingyang still felt a chill in his heart, looking at the eyes of the patriarchs, full of anger.
"Patriarch Zhou, Patriarch He, Patriarch Xie, when your families were in trouble, how did I help you to intercede? If it wasn't for my Gu Qingyang's care in the past few years, how could your families have a bright future? How did you tell me?" Gu Qingyang said through gritted teeth.
These families are all small families in Tianyang City. They were almost kicked out of Tianyang City when they were down a hundred years ago. Later, they begged him. He softened his heart for a while and helped them beg for mercy, and finally he was in Tianyang City. He stood on his heels, and then with the support of the Gu family, he gradually grew stronger, and now he is quite famous in Tianyang City.
Several families once swore that they would take the Gu family as their leader, and would never betray the Gu family.
"Patriarch Gu, don't blame us. We are also forced to do nothing. It's not easy for our families to have today." Patriarch Xie said a little embarrassedly. The oath of the year was let go by him like a fart, and I was still somewhat ashamed.
"Besides, this marriage is not a bad thing for the Gu family. We are also for the good of Yuhe." The family leader Zhou also said comfortingly.
"Go away, give me all the things that are revenge for kindness and revenge!" Gu Qingyang trembled with anger, stood up abruptly, pointed at the noses of several people and cursed.
"Patriarch Gu..." Patriarch Zhou wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Steward Wan.
"Let's go, I want to see how long the Gu family can support, hum." Butler Wan sneered, and walked out with the few homeowners who were eating inside and outside. Anyway, the threat is almost there, he believes that the Gu family will always be soft.
As soon as the few people left, Gu Qingyang fell back and sat back, his old face seemed to be ten years older.
The two slightly younger old men hadn't left yet. They looked at each other and sighed secretly.
"Grandpa." Shen Yuhe's crisp voice sounded at the door.
"Yuhe, why are you back?" Gu Qingyang raised his head abruptly and looked at Shen Yuhe in surprise. Although he hadn't seen each other for nearly ten years, he recognized his granddaughter at a glance.
"I accompany the chief priest to Tianyang City to participate in the ceremony of worshiping the gods, and I will come back to see it." Shen Yuhe said, introducing Mu Hanyan and others to Gu Qingyang and others.
"It turned out to be the chief priest Mu, and the master priest's visit to the cold house is really full of brilliance." Knowing the identity of Mu Hanyan, Gu Qingyang quickly got up and saluted.
"Master Gu doesn't need to be too polite. Although Yuhe and I have different positions in the temple, we get along as friends on weekdays. When I come to the Gu family, I'm a junior. I can't bear this kind of gift from Master Gu." Mu Hanyan Said quickly.
"If that's the case, then I won't be polite to you. Yu He is not involved in the world, so I will ask the priest to take care of him in the future." Gu Qingyang is also free and easy, and he is not strict.
"Yu He has helped me a lot, but it's actually her who takes care of me." Seeing that Gu Qingyang was not as indifferent as Wen Gaoren, Mu Hanyan felt quite relaxed and said with a smile.
"It's so late, so I probably haven't had dinner yet. Let your aunt cook you a delicious meal first, and come back later. I have something to talk to you about Grandpa Tang Feng." Gu Qingyang asked a few words about Shen Yuhe's current situation , It's not good to leave the other two guests in the cold, and said to Shen Yuhe.
"Is it because of the Long family?" Shen Yuhe said, biting her lip.
"You heard it?" Gu Qingyang said sadly, the smile on his face froze.
"Well, I heard it, and I also know the situation of the Gu family." Shen Yuhe said. Not only did she hear it, but Steward Wan gave her a few harsh glances when they left, but she knew that the Gu family was in a bad situation now, but she had no impulse.
"Yuhe, don't worry, no matter how desperate my Gu family is, they won't let their family members be humiliated by this. You don't care about this matter. Grandpa has his own opinion." Gu Qingyang said simply.
Perhaps it was because of seeing his granddaughter, his old and haggard face had a bit of vitality, and his face looked much better.
"Grandpa..." Tears welled up in Shen Yuhe's eyes.
Mu Hanyan glanced at the grandparents and grandchildren, feeling a little emotional. She also heard clearly what Gu Qingyang, Wan Guanjia and others said before. In fact, this kind of marriage is commonplace in aristocratic families. For the benefit of the family, even a pro-daughter can sacrifice, let alone a granddaughter. The Gu family had already reached this point, but Gu Qingyang was able to categorically reject the Long family, which really made her both admire and move.
"Grandpa, what are you going to do? Can I help?" Shen Yuhe wiped her eyes and asked.
Before, I only knew that my grandfather loved me, but I didn't know how much that kind of love was. Now I know that even if the family has been driven to a dead end, my grandfather never wants to let herself be humiliated at all. How could she stay out of it.
"You don't have to worry about it anymore, just leave it to Grandpa." Gu Patriarch was silent for a while, and finally said that.
