Chapter 147 Gu An’s Dream
Chapter 147 Gu An’s Dream
Gu An naturally didn't know that she would be the next one to get married.
She is still studying with the teacher and she is also in the academy. After all, although her academic performance is not as good as Gu Ping, her talent is still good.
But what she likes most is practicing martial arts. Gu Yao doesn't have any strong requirements for her to study, and she would be very happy if she could pass the imperial examination.
After all, how could one not be willing to have a new talent in the family, even though practicing martial arts is more exhausting.
If there is a breakthrough, then precious medicinal herbs and some edibles will naturally be the best.
So she usually spends a lot of money here. Fortunately, Gu An has a talent for martial arts. In the past few years, with the help of medicinal herbs and fish and meat, her tendons and veins have improved a lot.
Even Master Wu said that if I want to take the martial arts exam in the future, I can still pass it.
Gu An naturally wanted to pursue the path of martial arts. She wanted to take the martial arts examination and even serve at the border.
Gu Yao felt that it would be very difficult for her to climb up the ranks if she went to the border without any connections. Many military connections at the borders in this world were controlled by aristocratic families, and their Gu family naturally did not have that ability.
However, Gu An's martial arts master thought that it would be better for her to take the military examination, because with merit, she would naturally be promoted quickly when she arrived at the border.
After that, Gu Yao found her a martial arts master from the escort agency who taught her some kung fu.
After all, the people in the escort agency have killed bandits before, so you can learn some self-protection skills by learning from her.
Han Yuqing was a little worried about Gu An's choice and sometimes even shed tears silently.
After knowing this, Gu Yao comforted him and said, "We should support An An's idea, and she obviously likes martial arts. In this case, I, as a mother, must support her. Look at how much he cares about martial arts, and he has never paid attention to studying. Don't you understand?"
Gu Yao naturally knew how sad Han Yuqing was, but as a father he naturally felt sorry for her, so he could only be nice to her and prevent her from drowning herself in tears.
Han Yuqing wiped her tears and choked up, "Although she likes this, the swords on the battlefield are blind. What if she really goes to the border and gets injured? We can't take care of her in Shicheng. What if she gets injured?"
Although Han Yuqing also hoped that his children would be successful, he was really worried that Gu An would lose his limbs or even his life on the battlefield. What would he do then?
Gu Yao sighed and hugged him in her arms and said, "That's why I paid a lot of money to hire a master to teach her, just to give her more means of self-protection. And don't worry, our An An is very smart, she will never do anything too dangerous, even I won't allow it, so I won't let her go to the border before she passes the imperial examination. If she passes the imperial examination, she will have a position at the border, although it's a little small, but at least it can guarantee her life."
Han Yuqing is not a unreasonable person. He knows that Gu Yao has done a lot and has done a lot. Generally speaking, her daughter likes to practice martial arts and wants to go to the battlefield, and they can't stop her.
Or if they objected, wouldn't she have to leave secretly, which would be even more dangerous?
"My dear wife, you must let her take the imperial examination. Otherwise, you absolutely cannot let her leave home. Otherwise, I really can't let her go."
Han Yuqing buried herself in Gu Yao's arms, clutching her clothes tightly, her body trembling. It was really not easy to raise a child, and there was never a moment of peace.
Even though Gu An has grown up, she is still a child in Han Yuqing's heart, and he wishes she could be under his watch every day.
In fact, Gu Yao was reluctant to let him go, after all, he was her flesh and blood, and he also strongly disapproved of him going to the battlefield.
It is because swords have no eyes. Even if you succeed, it is easy to lose your life if you are not careful on the battlefield.
Gu Ping found Gu An and said to her, "Second sister, if you really want to go to the battlefield, you should know that swords have no eyes. Even if you have extraordinary martial arts skills, you may still have no luck on the battlefield."
Gu Ping naturally hopes that his sisters can go to the court and become officials. Although going to the battlefield is also Gu An's dream, he doesn't want her to be too impulsive.
Gu An knew her family's concerns about her and said, "Big sister, I want to go to the battlefield. I feel that my talent is not enough to gain a foothold in the court. You also know that I have liked martial arts since I was a child. Besides, you and my third sister are all qualified for the imperial examination. So I thought that if I could become a military officer, I could also bring blessings to my family."
Gu An knew her own preferences. If she really studied, she might only be able to pass the imperial examination.
Even if you pass the imperial examination, you will only be able to be a minor official which is of no use.
She was quite talented in martial arts, especially since her martial arts master had said that if she could really pass the imperial examination with her martial arts, she would surely be promoted quickly if she made some achievements on the border, so she didn't want to waste her talent.
Gu Ping naturally knew Gu An's stubbornness and sighed: "You are still young now, and you haven't become a juren yet, you can think about it again. If you have any regrets, you must tell us not to act out of loyalty."
Gu An nodded immediately. She also knew that her elder sister agreed, and she was very happy: "Don't worry, elder sister, I will definitely learn martial arts well. Mother found such a good martial arts master for me, I must learn well. If I can pass the imperial examination, our Gu family will be both civil and military."
Gu An also knew that the Gu family now depended on her mother alone, even though her sister had become a scholar.
But it is still too early for him to become an official, and even if he becomes a Jinshi, it will be very slow to protect the Gu family.
She hoped that she could take the path of a military officer so that she could build more connections for the Gu family.
The second year was almost here, and this year Gu Ping was going to get married.
Since her last talk with Gu An, she has worked harder. It can be said that all the martial arts talents of the Gu family are in Gu An.
Even her master liked her so much that he wanted to pass on his lifelong skills to her.
Gu Yao treated her quite well, so naturally she had to return the favor by handing over Gu Yao An so that she could go further on the path of a military officer.
A few days before Gu Ping's wedding, the Wang family's dowry had already been brought over, which surprised many people.
Especially Han Yuqing, her eyes flashed, thinking that she didn't expect that Gu Ping's doctor's dowry would be so generous, with eighty-eight sets, and they were very heavy. You could tell at a glance that they were all good things.
He wondered whether Gu An's husband would have so much dowry when she got married.
He was wealthy himself, and after entering the Gu family he lived a life of luxury.
He didn't really care about these things, but he was a father after all, and he didn't want his son-in-law to have a small dowry.
A man's larger dowry will benefit his future generations.
His own dowry was generous, and his children lived well, even better than the children of the servants who only received a share.
