Chapter 1391 Belonging in the Heart
Brother Cheng nodded after hearing this: "Yes, my brother is right, so don't take it out on me anymore. I'm not your brother, and I have never harmed you."
Brother Cheng felt that he had died unjustly. Because Dou Shaodong's family had been harmed by his younger brother and stepmother, he was hated by Dou Shaodong's family. He was always scolded and pinched by him, which made him feel aggrieved just thinking about it.
Hmph, Dou Shaodong snorted coldly and turned his head to the car window... He was indeed angry at Gu Jincheng, but he couldn't help it. Who made his younger brother so vicious, and the Gu brothers had such a good relationship? He looked irritated!
Seeing this, Brother Cheng stopped caring about Dou Shaodong's family and ate his own pie. After finishing the meal, he said, "Brother, I need some water."
Gu Jinan brought him a pot of water. The water was warmed on the stove. When he took it out, it was still hot. After drinking half a bowl, he felt very comfortable.
Dou Shaodong's family turned around and saw Brother Cheng drinking water from a bowl. He frowned and suddenly said, "Brother, please come and listen."
Poof, cough cough cough!
Brother Cheng was so frightened that he choked on the water and coughed violently. After he finished coughing, he looked at Dou Shaodong's house in horror: "You, are you not crazy?"
After saying that, he immediately put down the bowl and grabbed Gu Jinan's arm, fearing that the crazy Dou Shaodong family would pounce on him and strangle him to death.
Dou Shaodong's family had a stern look on their face: "What do you mean? Do you know who I am? I am one of the great emperor merchants of Chu. I am the current leader of the Dou family. I can let you call me brother to give you face. Don't be shameless." .
Brother Cheng: "I have a brother, why do I call you brother? I don't call you brother."
After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's face turned so dark that he couldn't even look at it: "I finally tried to get people to call me brother, but you little **** is still not happy. Do you know how many people want to kneel down and call me brother?!"
Brother Cheng: "Others are others, but I don't want to shout."
"You!" Dou Shaodong's family was so angry that if it weren't for the sake of Gu Jinan and the young marquis, he would have slapped Gu Jincheng twice.
Dou Shaodong's family pointed at Brother Cheng and said to Gu Jin'an: "Your brother is not good at teaching. He doesn't even wink. If you talk back to me at this time, you should be very clear about the losses you will suffer."
Gu Jinan smiled and shook his head, put one hand on Brother Cheng's head and said, "Go and call me brother."
Brother Cheng frowned and looked up at Gu Jinan: "Why do you call me brother? Brother is a name for a close relative. How can you call an outsider brother casually? Doesn't that mean you are casually recognizing your relatives?"
After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family felt a little better... Gu Jincheng was very concerned about the title of brother, which showed that he valued family ties very seriously and was not someone who just casually acknowledges relatives just to curry favor with others.
Gu Jinan saw the expressions of Dou Shaodong's family, lowered his head and said to Brother Cheng: "Dou Shaodong's family has helped our family a lot. Their friendship has exceeded that of business partners. He is also on good terms with his eldest brother and your second brother-in-law. You are As a younger brother, you can call him brother."
As he spoke, he winked at Brother Cheng.
Brother Cheng saw it. After thinking for a while, he looked towards Dou Shaodong's house and shouted: "Brother!"
The relationship between Dou Shaodong's family and Dou Meng's son is not good. This is the first time he has been called brother in his life... Don't tell me, I feel pretty good.
But he remained motionless and didn't even hum.
Gu Jinan pushed Brother Cheng, and Brother Cheng shouted again: "Brother!"
The voice has the crispness of a child and a joyful tone. It sounds very sincere and does not seem to be perfunctory.
Dou Shaodong's family then turned around and looked at Brother Cheng: "Well, I guess you are wise."
Brother Cheng twitched his lips. This Dou Shaodong family is really difficult to take care of. He even calls him brother, and he still talks about him.
but
Give me money! Brother Cheng stretched out his hand and asked Dou Shaodongs family for money. Dou Shaodong's face turned dark and he said angrily: "You brat, you call me brother and you still charge for it!"
Brother Cheng said with a smile: "It's not that I want to collect money. This is a rule. You must always give a red envelope when you open your mouth. Otherwise, you will break the rules."
These words made Dou Shaodong's family speechless. He stared at Brother Cheng. After a while, he took out a banknote, put it in a red paper envelope, and handed it to Brother Cheng: "Be obedient from now on."
"Thank you, brother." Brother Cheng quickly accepted the red envelope. His eyes were sharp and he saw the word "thousand words" written on the banknote. It was a banknote with a denomination of one thousand taels. He made a profit!
Seeing the gleaming look in Brother Cheng's eyes, Dou Shaodong was angry and wanted to laugh at the same time. He pointed at him and said, "Gu Jin'an, you also said you would let him take the exam for merit and fame. Look at the way he looks when he sees the money. He looks like a little kid." Profiteer."
Gu Jin'an smiled: "The test for merit does not necessarily require him to become an official. It just gives him a title that protects his life and protects his life. It is up to him to decide what he wants to do in the future."
"Tsk, you really can spoil him." Dou Shaodong's family was speechless, but considering that Gu Jincheng is the youngest son, with a brother as capable as Gu Jin'an, and a brother-in-law like the little Marquis, it will be easy for him to become an official or do business in the future. , stopped talking and talked about another matter with Gu Jinan.
"Prefect Xi will help capture Jia Tongpan because of Ming Shaoqing... He has taken a liking to you and wants to take you under his command and make you a member of the Ming family." Dou Shaodong's family looked at Gu Jinan and asked, "Can you listen? Did you mention the Ming Family Party?"
Gu Jinan nodded: "I have heard that the Ming Family Party has existed since the Zhou Dynasty. At the end of the previous dynasty, it saw that the situation was not right and began to retreat. When Emperor Jingwu showed his dragon spirit, he came out again to help Emperor Jingwu conquer the world."
The Ming family sent their children to help Emperor Jingwu before the establishment of Da Chu, so they were able to be reused by the royal family of Da Chu.
The Ming Family Party is the collective name for the officials who are favored by the Ming Family and are under their command.
"It's good that you know the Ming Family Party. If you join the Ming Family Party, the partisanship will be secondary. The most important thing is..." Dou Shaodong's face became solemn, he stared at Gu Jinan and reminded: "Ming Cong is not a kind person, he is He is very ambitious and will not be a snake's tail forever. You have to be careful, lest you bring disaster to your family."
If you dont want to be the tail of the snake, then you have to be the leader.
Dou Shaodong's family has already told Gu Jin'an in a subtle way what Ming Cong wants.
Gu Jinan understood and nodded: "Don't worry, my greatest wish in this life is to protect my family's safety and prosperity, secondly to marry the person I love, and thirdly to serve as an official for the people. Things are not important."
So he would not help Ming Shaoqing be the leader for some title.
but
We live in this world, and sometimes we have to fight for the skin of a tiger.
Dou Shaodong raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean? Do you still want to benefit from him?"
That person is Ming Cong!
Gu Jinan looked at Dou Shaodong's house and smiled: "My family is not just thanks to him this time."
The good thing is that you have already caught it.
He then asked: "Then what did you do yourself? I heard that he found some noble ladies for you. I want to congratulate you in advance. I guess you will get what you want soon."
Ming Shaoqing not only fell in love with him, but also the Dou Shaodong family. Knowing that the Dou Shaodong family wanted a noble girl to be their official wife, they found several families for him.
but
"Why didn't you agree? His family status is not low. If he agrees with your request, do you have your heart set on it already?" Gu Jinan asked puzzledly.
