Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 100 Friends Are Not Friends

Father Gu saw that Gu Yao had hired two masters, so he quickly called her over and said, "Ayao, do you really want Aning and the others to learn from Master Wu? Wouldn't this be against the rules?"

After staying in the capital for a long time, Gu's father knew that men in the capital attach great importance to reputation.

He thought that if these female teachers were to teach Gu Ning and others, and people knew about it, wouldn't it mean that his two grandsons would have no reputation?

Gu Yao knew what her father was thinking and quickly said, "Dad, don't worry. I usually let Ah Ping and the others watch over them when I teach them. There are so many people at home, how could I let them be alone together? So I know what to do. I just need them to exercise well so that they don't become weak and sickly."

Father Gu and the others thought about the health of the two grandsons and said, "You are right. But you must let someone watch them in a crowded place, and don't let others talk about it."

"Don't worry, I know it well. Or you can go and see them sometimes and you will know that Aning and the others are very well behaved."

Gu Yao felt that she was more comfortable in the county town, where men could go out anywhere and no one would say anything.

But it’s not the case in Beijing, where there are so many rules.

Even though she thought it was a small matter, for the sake of her two sons' future, she had to abide by it and not let people think that their Gu family was an uncultured place.

Two days later, Father Gu was still worried and went to the school to check on him for a while.

I found that those female teachers were quite well-behaved and were only responsible for teaching kung fu.

As for Gu An and the others, they have always been very polite, and even most of their kung fu was taught by Gu Ping and the others.

Father Gu felt relieved by this scene and even rewarded the two female masters with silver.

Father Gu thought that it was a good thing that Gu Yao was becoming more and more successful, otherwise their family really couldn't afford to support so many teachers.

There are not only female teachers, but also male teachers, so Father Gu becomes more and more proud.

Their Gu family should be one of the best in Gujia Village and the county.

Gu Yao felt relieved after arranging everything for her family. Now she had more guards, so even if someone wanted to deal with them in the future, they would think twice.

Fortunately, she has been hiding, so no one wants to deal with them. She just hopes that she can keep it up.

Her work in the Ministry of Works went more and more smoothly, and she was appreciated by the Minister of Works.

However, she has not achieved any meritorious service yet, which has led some people to wonder if she has run out of talent.

Gu Yao would not try to distinguish anything. This was the best way. She did not want to be cannon fodder.

Qian Xiumin has now been promoted in the Ministry of Revenue to the fourth rank, which can be said to be a higher position than Gu Yao.

Gu Fuyao knew that Qian Xiumin's promotion was probably due to the Second Princess.

Otherwise, as an ordinary official, how could she possibly be regarded differently by the Second Princess?

But as she and the Second Princess got closer, she became more and more worried and sometimes gave some advice, but Qian Xiumin never listened.

She just felt that Gu Yao was annoying and nosy. Although they were good sisters, they were not born by the same father after all, so she didn't want Gu Yao to always interfere in her affairs.

When Gu Yao reminded her again, Qian Xiumin said, "Ayao, I hope you won't meddle in my affairs anymore. It's really annoying."

Gu Yao felt upset when she heard her words, and then said: "Sister Qian, I will not care about you anymore. I hope you can figure it out, but I think you have your own ideas."

From then on, Gu Yao never paid any attention to Qian Xiumin's affairs and never cared much about her affairs.

If it weren't for the relationship they had during those years, Gu Yao wouldn't always pay attention to her.

Now that the two of them have completely fallen out, there is no need to continue pretending to be good friends.

Ever since Gu Yao and Qian Xiumin had their falling out, she felt a lot more relaxed.

But it is still quite heavy. After all, everyone knows that Qian Xiumin is the second princess.

It can be said that Qian Xiumin’s identity as the second princess will never be erased, even if she does not inherit the throne.

Gu Yao still treats Qian Xiumin as a friend and can help her if she has any accidents in the future.

Qian Xiumin's family is living a good life now. After all, Qian Xiumin is now a celebrity in the court.

In July, she received letters from Wang Yang and Huang Xiaoyan, as well as gifts. Wang Yang even said in the letter that he was a little confused about Qian Xiumin's behavior.

Qian Xiumin has always been a very calm person. Why did she choose this path, even a path of no return?

Seeing her question, Gu Yao smiled bitterly and replied the letter. She believed that Wang Yang would definitely understand it. She just didn't know if her life would be in danger after reading it.

She believed in Wang Yang's choice. To her, Wang Yang took it less seriously than she did. After all, she was sent out and held some real power.

Sure enough, half a month later, Wang Yang wrote back, asking Gu Yao not to contact Qian Xiumin anymore.

The credit of following the emperor is not something that people like them can get. Generally speaking, the bulk of the profits go to those nobles and those with real power.

Although Qian Xiumin was in the Ministry of Revenue, she was now a fourth-rank official thanks to the Second Princess, so she couldn't run away.

Looking at Wang Yang's reply, Qian Xiumin felt quite uncomfortable. She didn't expect that the four good sisters would actually come to this point.

But she had to do it for the sake of her family.

Lin Wulang and the others were very happy to see that Gu Yao had been at home all this time and was willing to accompany them.

But they just felt that something seemed to have happened to Gu Yao.

The three people tried their best to coax her, but Gu Yao still frowned.

Gu's mother also saw this and took her to the farm while she had time.

"Ayao, I listened to you and used night fragrance to cultivate the land. It turned out to be quite good. Now our grain harvest has increased by 10%. This is also inseparable from the contributions of these tenants. So now I only collect 10% of their rent. I will increase it when the harvest is better in the future."

Looking at the land of these fields, Gu Yao touched it and said: "Not bad, at least it shows that it is still advisable to use night fragrance to cultivate the land. Let's collect more night fragrance in the future, and we can use it for other things."

"That's right. Our A-Yao is really good. He even knows how to farm. I don't know if there's anything else you don't know."

She really thinks her daughter is the best. If it weren't for him, their Gu family would still be suffering in Gujia Village.

Although she didn't know why Gu Yao was a little unhappy, Mother Gu had no choice but to praise her, encourage her and tell her not to worry too much.

Gu Yao was deeply moved when she heard her mother's words. She knew that her family was coaxing her, but she was just immersed in her own thoughts.

Now that Mother Gu had pointed it out to her, she thought for a moment and said, "I won't be like this again. Actually, I'm doing pretty well in the Ministry of Revenue. It's just that I have some ideas with my friend, and I feel that the two of us can't get along."

Listening to Gu Yao's words, Gu's mother thought that her daughter was indeed wronged.

I don't know who bullied her daughter.

When I heard what she said, I knew that it might be that his friends didn't share the same ideas as her.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Ayao, true friends are more valuable than few. If two people are very miserable together, then just leave each other. This means that your paths are not suitable. Although you two had feelings for each other before, you are still individuals after all. As long as your friendship remains unchanged, if your ideals are not the same, then you can just slowly separate and maintain superficial communication. It's OK as long as your friendship is sincere."

In Gu's mother's mind, as long as the two are friends and have no ill will towards each other, even if they do not agree with each other, it is okay as long as they can talk to each other sometimes. It does not mean that the two have to become enemies.

After hearing this, Gu Yao sighed and said, "Mom, you are right. She and I are indeed very good friends. She has never done anything wrong to me, and I have never done anything wrong to her. We just have different ideas."

Mother Gu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Gu Yao had figured it out.

She also knows that her daughter is good in every way, except that she is too emotional, and sometimes she doesn't know what to do.

She was already an adult and an official, so he couldn't make any decisions for her, for fear of misunderstanding her and not knowing what to do.

Fortunately, she was smart and knew what to do after just a few words.

She hoped that her daughter would not be too sentimental in official circles, so as to avoid being cheated by others.

After Gu Yao thought about it and passed it, she began to patrol the farm with her mother.

They bought several more pieces of land in the past two days, all of which are connected to the farm.

It can be said that their industry is also a small asset. Although it is not as good as those wealthy families, it is already quite good among some middle-class families.

Although the family property had shrunk after the marriage of her two younger brothers, in recent years, thanks to her and her mother's hard work, the family property has returned to its original level or even increased.

Thinking that she has more and more children, there probably won’t be enough property to go around.

Lin Liulang is pregnant now, so she must occupy more land and save money to avoid problems with the marriages of her children.

She and Gu's mother stayed at the farm for a day. After returning, Lin Wulang knew that her problem seemed to have been resolved, and she was no longer so worried and felt happy.

It is still good for the mother-in-law to be able to enlighten the wife, and since Gu Yao wanted to pass and came to the Ministry of Industry, she has been more like a fish in water, and even looking at Qian Xiumin is no longer so worried.

Her mother was right, everyone has his or her own life. Although she and Qian Xiumin had not broken up and were still friends, there were some things that she could not interfere in, lest she would really be disliked.

Moreover, she cannot judge others based on her own thinking. Although she thinks that following the dragon's merit is not good, it is acceptable for others to follow the dragon's merit.

There are obvious benefits, otherwise how could Qian Xiumin be promoted so quickly.

Moreover, their family has moved to the street between the fourth and fifth ranks. Generally, once one crosses the fourth rank, one's rights will instantly increase, and even the number of people attending banquets will be at a higher level than before.

So Gu Yao was still very happy for Qian Xiumin. Although she didn't know what would happen in the future, at least the whole family was living a happy life now.

In fact, Qian Xiumin also knew that Gu Yao was doing this for her own good, but he really didn't want to have an unpleasant experience with me because of this matter.

Fortunately, Gu Yao finally figured it out, so their friendship can continue.

However, they still have to keep their distance, otherwise if the Second Prince and the others find out, they will probably become suspicious.

And ever since Qian Xiumin followed the second prince, Gu Yao and she haven't seen each other for a long time.

Except for meeting once or twice in the court, they seldom spoke.

They were just nodding acquaintances now, but Gu Yao had already figured it out.

After all, this is Qian Xiumin's own business. Since keeping a distance can keep both of us safe, then let it be.

Her two brothers-in-law also entered the Imperial Academy. After all, they had been admitted to the city because they wanted to stay in the capital forever, and they would not want to be sent out unless it was absolutely necessary.

Fortunately, Zheng Hongqiu and the others are in Beijing, so Gu Yun and the others can go back home every few days, which makes their relationship even deeper.

Gu Yun and the others did not want to leave the capital. It had been a long time since they had traveled from the village to the county town and then to the provincial school. They had already adapted to the capital.

They really couldn't bear it if they were suddenly asked to leave the capital and their families.
