My Wife is the World’s Greatest Divine Martial General – Chapter 254

Chapter 46 Gu Family’s Luck +

Since they had already decided to go to the capital for the festival, the Gu family didn’t need to prepare anything else. They just needed to pack their bags and head to the Gu Residence in the capital for food and lodging.

Gu Qing would surely be very welcoming.

Compared to Gu Yu and Mengyao, who had been to the capital once before, Gu Qingheng was incredibly excited.

His excited bouncing and jumping would probably take half a day to calm down.

“Qingheng, Director Qingshan said yesterday that we have a day off, and I didn’t see you this happy.”

“Brother-in-law, it’s different! We’re going to the capital this time, and I’ve never been there before! I heard from classmates at Qingshan Academy that it’s very prosperous and interesting, especially the gossip, which is exploding!”

“I see you’re only interested in gossip when you go to the capital!”

As Mengyao went back to the kitchen to cook, Gu Yu saw his excited younger brother-in-law and wanted to tease him. But unexpectedly… Gu Qingheng’s trip to the capital for the festival wasn’t just to see Gu Qing and the bustling scenery of the capital, but more importantly, to hear gossip.

This made Gu Yu’s mouth twitch. He thought his younger brother-in-law was truly amazing!

He was no longer satisfied with the small scope of Yang Family Village and wanted to switch to a larger gossip venue.

However, the leap from a village to the capital was a bit too big!

“Brother-in-law, what do we need to prepare for our trip to the capital this time? I’ve never traveled far in my life. Should I bring the books from my room?”

“In all honesty?”

“No way! I don’t want to see a book on the road!”

“Sigh, you rascal… Don’t worry! Just bring a few changes of clothes this time. We won’t take too long to reach the capital, and the carriage is well-equipped with everything we need.”

After Gu Yu and Gu Qingheng chatted for a while, and under Gu Qingheng’s incessant questioning, Gu Yu didn’t know how to deal with so many of his questions. So, he released Xi Yang from his space to explain on his behalf.

Afterwards, Gu Yu quickly slipped out of the house.

If he stayed any longer, he would definitely drive himself crazy!

However, there was still some time before mealtime. How should he pass the time outside?

As Gu Yu was thinking, he finally walked to the village chief’s door, intending to inform him so that he wouldn’t be unable to find anyone at the Gu family’s later.

When he decided to go to the village chief’s house, Gu Yu had already taken out quite a few gifts from his space.

He had already troubled the village chief several times, so it was only right to give these gifts to the village chief. After all, if others help you, it’s out of kindness, but if they don’t, it’s their duty. It’s impossible to always receive help without asking for anything in return.

Of course, there were good people like that, but they were too rare, and their fates were usually not very good.

Gu Yu didn’t comment on such people, as everyone pursued different things.

Being able to manage oneself was already a blessing, so why point fingers at others!

However, the guys who had grudges against Gu Yu were an exception… Gu Yu was very petty. Anyone who showed malice towards him would not be spared, and he would definitely return it tenfold or a hundredfold.

He wasn’t a good person, so he didn’t need to act like a gentleman.

After entering the village chief’s house, with the experience from last time, Gu Yu’s reason this time was… that he had visited relatives last time and they had invited him to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together. It was too hospitable to refuse, so the Gu family decided to go.

Afterwards, the Yang Family Village would have to rely on the village chief for help.

After receiving the gifts from Gu Yu, the village chief’s wife secretly looked at them, then her face bloomed with joy, and her attitude towards Gu Yu became even more cordial.

Under the enthusiastic hospitality, Gu Yu didn’t stay at the village chief’s house for long. He declined, saying that there were still matters at home and he had to leave immediately.

After saying this, Gu Yu quickly turned and left, not wanting to face the village chief’s wife’s enthusiasm anymore.

“Hong Yang, do you think the Gu family is blessed by their ancestors! How can they be so lucky? I’m even envious of the blue brick and tile houses they live in. Look at our house, it’s almost falling apart and full of holes.”

“That’s enough, it’s good enough to have a place to live, don’t be so picky.”

“I’m just complaining! Look at the Gu family, they are so different now, it’s all due to good luck.”

After Gu Yu left, the village chief’s wife looked at his receding figure and couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that the Gu family’s luck was too great, which also made Gu Yu, who had only been with the Gu family for a few years, become super lucky.

If she had known earlier, she should have let her younger son marry into the Gu family in advance, so he could also become super lucky!

However, the village chief, Hong Yang, had a different opinion from his wife.

Gu Yu was clearly a capable person. The Yang family mistook a pearl for a fish eye and discarded it. They might regret it later!

Especially since Gu Yu’s personality was somewhat indifferent, it was impossible for him to reconcile with the Old Yang family.

From now on, they would probably have nothing to do with each other.

“I don’t think it’s just luck, it’s also about having real skills, otherwise even luck would be useless! However, you are right, the Gu family is now different from before, and they will probably have great fortune in the future… This small place, Yang Family Village, cannot keep this little tiger.”

“Tiger? You’re getting more and more outlandish. Gu Yu is just an orphan whose family was separated and disowned by the Yang family. No matter how much fortune he has, I think it will be just that. However, Gu Qingheng of the Gu family is good. At such a young age, he passed the exam for Tong Sheng and entered Qingshan Academy. His future is bright!”

“What’s the difference? Even if Gu Qingheng becomes a high official in the future, won’t he acknowledge his sister and brother-in-law? At that time, Gu Yu will be able to walk sideways… Forget it, I can’t talk to you. Let’s hurry up and prepare lunch, I’m hungry.”

The village chief stopped talking and flicked his sleeves, heading towards the study room to read, so as not to listen to his wife’s nagging any longer.

We’ll have to wait and see what happens next!

“Yu, in the afternoon, we need to go to the academy to ask for leave for Qingheng, and we also need to inform Uncle Yan and the village chief, so they don’t look for us when they come later.”

“Okay, I’ll go. Mengyao, you stay in the village and inform your friends. We left in too much of a hurry last time and didn’t have time for these things. This time, we can take our time.”

“Okay.”

After lunch, the Gu family also started to divide their tasks.

Gu Yu went to town, Mengyao stayed in the village, and Qingheng continued to study at home.

Then, after Gu Yu informed Yan Min, he headed to Qingshan Academy to find Director Qingshan and ask for a long leave of absence for Gu Qingheng.

Based on his experience last time, Gu Yu now had some understanding of his father-in-law. He felt that after going to the capital this time, even if it was nominally to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, they would still be kept there for a while, so he could only ask for a long leave.

However, he couldn’t find Director Qingshan when he was looking for him.

This made Gu Yu wonder. Director Qingshan usually lived at Qingshan Academy. Now that he couldn’t find him anywhere in the academy, where did he go?

“Ugh…”

Just as Gu Yu was wondering, a sound of vomiting suddenly rang out. After Gu Yu rushed to the back mountain of the academy, besides a few overturned wine jars, he saw the drunk Ruan Qingshan holding a tree with one hand, clutching his chest with the other, his face filled with pain. Gu Yu was greatly shocked.

Director Qingshan usually had a cold demeanor, but he didn’t expect to see him in such a wretched, drunken state.

“Director Qingshan, are you alright!”

“Mmm… I’m fine, it’s Gu Yu! What business do you have at the academy?”

After Ruan Qingshan finished vomiting, Gu Yu quickly went to help him and they left. When they reached his room, Ruan Qingshan became a little clearer.

Then, as he leaned his upper body on the table, he asked Gu Yu what he had come for.

When Gu Yu heard this, he directly stated his request to ask for a long leave of absence for Gu Qingheng.

When Ruan Qingshan heard this, he immediately nodded at Gu Yu, then raised a hand and waved it in the air, signaling Gu Yu to leave now.

If it were anyone else, they would have stayed and asked a few questions after seeing Ruan Qingshan like this, but Gu Yu turned and left immediately without any hesitation.

If he stayed any longer, Gu Yu felt he wouldn’t be able to leave.

Ruan Qingshan had looked for him in the teahouse before. At that time, he was prepared to discuss a major matter, but when Gu Yu expressed his unwillingness to get involved in disputes, the matter was dropped.

Ruan Qingshan’s current dejected state was clearly related to this matter…

In fact, Gu Yu had some guesses, though not entirely accurate, but he could guess the general idea.

For example, he initially heard that Ruan Qingshan was doing well as an official in the capital, but then due to a family incident, he came to Lian Town to teach.

Given Ruan Qingshan’s age, he must have had a wife and children before, but now he didn’t even have a concubine, and was all alone.

This was probably the family incident.

Coupled with Qingshan Academy’s strict enrollment standards, and the fact that graduates from the academy had already become officials and formed factions in the imperial court.

Up until now, Qingshan Academy had been continuously supplying talent to the imperial court.

Clearly, Ruan Qingshan had a purpose.

As for what he had been plotting for over ten years, the answer was already emerging.

Ruan Qingshan was on the path of revenge to avenge his family.

However, his opponent’s power was too great, and he couldn’t fight them alone, so he needed help.

Gu Yu could even guess who Ruan Qingshan’s enemies were.

The Wang Clan.

When Ruan Qingshan wanted to discuss with Gu Yu, Gu Yu happened to have a conflict with the Wang Clan. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

However, even if Gu Yu guessed these things, he didn’t want to get involved.

Although Ruan Qingshan was pitiful, the Wang Clan was not to be trifled with. Even Gu Yu himself had used the Emperor’s imperial decree to avoid trouble back then. Although he had some backing now, it was still not enough to deal with the Wang Clan.

Of course, if he were to play dirty, that would be another matter…

Even if I have to stay up all night, I have to update. (Whimpering of someone about to go bald)
