Chapter 986： Unwilling, sad

"The queen, please be smart. We can't do this kind of thing." Gu Chengan refused.

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Why, do you look down on merchants? Did you forget that now you have to take money from sister Yun Wu every month? Her money comes from doing business."

Gu Chengan shook his head: "I don't look down on businessmen. I am a scholar, and it is impossible to do business. Although the emperor has eliminated my fame, in the future..."

"This can't be for you." Yun Dai said lightly, "Gu's family is almost too far away, and still thinking about such a long way? Go home and see the imperial decree."

Gu Chengan was surprised: "Imperial decree?"

"Baoxing, let's go."

Yundai was too lazy to explain, and left with Baoxing and Tsing Yi.

Gu Chengan and Gu Chengning glanced at each other, then ran towards the house.

Gu Hongmiao was still lying in the study like a puddle of mud.

Tian took out the imperial edict.

Gu Chengan took the imperial decree and read it again, and his expression was a little dull.

"Let me see it." Gu Chengning snatched it and looked at it again, but his eyes started to shine, "Oh, it's amazing, it's amazing."

Gu Chengan glanced at him: "You seem to be quite happy."

"Nonsense, of course I am happy." Gu Chengning raised an eyebrow, "Do you know what this imperial decree means?"

"It means that from now on, our Gu family has completely cut off the road of studying the imperial examination!" Gu Chengan said, a sorrow spread from the bottom of his heart, "Although our family is not a big family, but our ancestors have also made contributions. Now we are down. In this generation, even the reputation of the scholarly family has been lost, and it has become a merchant's household."

He felt uncomfortable and desperately depressed.

To be honest, for the Gu family, they would rather be poor and hungry, but also want to keep the reputation of the scholarly family, at least in terms of face and reputation, I don't know how many times higher than those merchants.

But what can I do.

The Gu family has fallen here, and it is also self-defeating.

He looked at the imperial edict, with sorrow in his heart.

Gu Chengning snorted when he saw him like this, and said, "You are reluctant. Are you willing to collect debts, chop off your fingers, and be beaten in the street? If there is no such decree, a month later, this Gu family The house cannot be kept."

"What debt?" Tian Shi asked after hearing this.

"Sister-in-law doesn't know yet?" Gu Chengning said.

Tian looked at her husband.

Gu Chengan was ashamed.

He earns too little as a teacher, and it is not enough to spend, so he has to borrow money. The addiction to Hanshisan broke out, and it was life-threatening.

He is also helpless.

Every time he resented Gu Yunxiang more and more.

If it weren't for her, how could he become like this.

"Sigh." He sighed.

Tian's face was full of sadness: "Msang Gong, I can't control those outside matters, but this sacred decree... you just take it? Our family is already like this, but it can't stand it anymore. Besides, defying the sacred decree is to kill. Head."

Gu Chengan was silent.

He began enlightenment at the age of five, and for more than ten years, the book of sages has been deeply rooted.

Let him completely abandon this identity and turn to be a lowly merchant, he is really...unwilling.

Gu Chengning rolled up the imperial decree and said, "I think it's good. The emperor ordered to do business. This is the emperor merchant. No matter what business we do in the future, we will have the emperor's command to protect it. Are you afraid that we won't make money?"

"Bastard stuff!"

Gu Hongmiao leaned on the door frame, pointed at him weakly, and yelled, "Our dignified scholarly family, you want to do that lowly business business! I'll kill you!"
