Chapter 837 Changed to Uncle-Nephew

Gu Yankai opened his hands and thanked Li Zhan, pitiful parents in the world. Although he and his son Gu Tingye always quarreled over trivial matters, he still had to worry about Gu Tingye's future.

"It's so troublesome, Mr. Li!"

Li Zhan smiled slightly, remembering that he owed a favor to Gu Yankai back then, and was a little closer to Gu Yankai. He stopped, looked at Gu Yankai who looked stunned, and said in a deep voice.

"Logically speaking, I should call Gu Hou master. If Gu Hou hadn't helped me pass on the martial arts inherited from my family, I would have died of illness a long time ago. I wouldn't have achieved what I have today. But now we are officials in the same dynasty. It would be inconvenient if I call you that!"

Li Zhan said this with great sincerity. He ignored the curious eyes of the palace guards around him and continued speaking calmly in the face of Gu Hou's scrutiny.

"If Gu Hou doesn't mind, you can call me Zi Qing, but you don't have to keep calling me Master Li. It seems that our two families are too different!"

A trace of joy flashed in Gu Yankai's eyes. Today, Li Zhan is a popular person in the eyes of the officials. He is the only one to be favored. Now he is a secretary-superintendent who is a fourth-grade official. He is young and promising, and has a bright future, so he is a popular person. Everyone believed that he would definitely become the Prime Minister in this life, and that one person could be better than ten thousand people. Naturally, he was willing to have a relationship with Li Zhan. Now the three sons in his family are not living up to expectations, although Gu Tingye can be regarded as a reformer now. But there is no guarantee that he will become a talented person in the future. With Li Zhan's relationship, he can help him to some extent in the future, which will only benefit Ningyuan Hou Mansion, not harm it.

"In this case, I will ask Ziqing to shout. Ziqing should not always look after me. If you don't mind, just call me uncle!"

Although Gu Yankai said this, he was still a little uneasy. This dynasty valued civil service over military affairs. Li Zhan, a civil servant who was already a fourth-rank secretary supervisor at a young age, was only one step away from becoming a third-rank senior official. Compared with him, This second-grade palace commander is more noble and has a much brighter future. He said this, which is actually a high achievement.

Li Zhan didn't care at all. What Gu Yankai said was exactly what he meant. Since they couldn't be masters and apprentices, it would be better to talk about uncles and nephews directly to appear closer. Moreover, the Gu family was extremely prestigious in the army of this dynasty. He If you want to live in Langfengxu in the future, you must have help from the Gu family.

Li Zhan nodded happily, bowed solemnly to Gu Yankai, and shouted to Gu Yankai respectfully.

"Zi Qing has met his uncle!"

Gu Yankai didn't expect that Li Zhan was still in the palace without caring about such a favor, so he recognized him as his uncle. He felt a move in his heart and knew that Li Zhan didn't want to make others gossip. He was doing it deliberately by not shying away from others. Let the official family see it, let everyone know the relationship between them, it is obvious that they are sincerely willing to interact with the Gu family, and it is not just a courtesy.

Gu Kaiyan understood Li Zhan's thoughts and laughed very happily. He stretched out his thick palm and patted Li Zhan's back repeatedly, and then helped Li Zhan up, looking close to him.

Li Zhan also smiled, and the two of them walked out of the palace. No longer as lively as before, Gu Kaiyan also opened his heart and complained to Li Zhan.

"That kid Tingye has been naughty since he was a child, and now he has a bad reputation. Although I don't know why he suddenly wanted to study hard and became a civil servant, he still has no change in his bad nature. He is a complete rebellious son. If he studies in the Sheng Mansion in the future, if he commits an offense, he will be punished. As a brother, you must not be polite and teach him a lesson, even if I don't think he would dare to stab you!"

Li Zhan actually knew that although Gu Tingye was notorious at this time, most of it was his stepmother Xiao Qin and several uncles' families who slandered him. He was not a bad person, and he was good at martial arts and smart. Otherwise, he would not have been able to pass the exam in three years. He won the title of a civil servant, and later he shone brightly in the imperial examination. If he hadn't been outspoken, mistrusted his eldest brother, complained about the officials' remarks, and the officials knew about it, and deliberately deposed him, he would have been He became a Jinshi.

In the Marquis Ningyuan Mansion, apart from Gu Yankai, Li Zhan also had a good impression of Gu Tingye. He was upright and valued affection and righteousness. Although he was a bit extreme, it was related to the environment in which he grew up, so it was not a big problem.

Li Zhan looked at Gu Yankai, who had a sad face planning for his descendants, and explained.

"Uncle, don't worry. I met Ting Ye once, and I have a good impression of him. He is not as bad as you said. If uncle, don't worry, you can let Ting Ye visit my house more, and the relationship between our brothers will be deepened." , how close and close!”

Gu Yankai's eyes lit up, who was Li Zhan? He was a famous genius boy in this dynasty. He was the first prize pick in high school before he even got the first prize. And if it weren't for his young age, he would have been the top pick in the year. Now he is even more of an official. The ministers around the family are very knowledgeable and have many strategies. Even the officials often ask for his opinions, and they always have amazing words. The officials have many praises, which are known to the whole court. If Gu Tingye can be with Li Zhan Spending more time with this kind of people must be of great benefit to him, and he was naturally very willing, so he quickly said.

"Then it's settled. From now on, you will teach this naughty boy more for your uncle!"

The two chatted happily and accompanied each other all the way out of the palace. Some colleagues saw them on the way and were very surprised. I don't know why the two were connected. One was civilized and the other military. One was born in a poor family, and the other was from a noble family. What do you think? They are not all the same way.

Li Zhan did not go back directly to his home, but directly transferred to Sheng Mansion, and went all the way to Shou'an Hall. After greeting Old Mrs. Sheng, he told Old Mrs. Sheng what happened today.

Mrs. Sheng listened quietly to Li Zhan's story, nodded silently, and was pleased in her heart. This child was thoughtful and not as utilitarian as her son Sheng Hong, she said happily.

"Zhan'er, you have done a good job in this matter. In order to obtain the ancestral martial arts from Ningyuan Hou Mansion, I asked you to become Gu Hou as your teacher. Now it is not appropriate for such a relationship, otherwise it will inevitably cause gossip among others. You The officials will definitely know what you did in the palace today, and as long as you and the officials make it clear, no one will dare to comment on it in the future!"

Li Zhan nodded and cast an admiring look at Old Mrs. Sheng. Mrs. Sheng was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Her knowledge and wisdom were far beyond ordinary people. She hit the nail on the head and guessed the reason why he did this. He said to the old lady A flurry of flattery.

"What grandma said is absolutely true. Your grandson saw through this idea at a glance, which really puts my grandson to shame!"

Old Mrs. Sheng also knew that Li Zhan was filial, and she said this just to make herself happy, but she still smiled and said lightly with joy on her face.

"You kid, every time you see your grandma, you have to pour her ecstasy soup and use all kinds of tricks to coax me with nice words!"
