Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Chapter 1 Transmigrating into a branch of a family, the bastard

Chapter 1 Transmigrating into a branch of a family, the bastard

The sky is dimly bright.

Before the servant came to call, Gu Yunji got up neatly, and after washing up, he started simple morning exercises in the yard.

It's been a month since the trip, but Gu Yunji still can't adapt to the current life.In addition to the change in identity and environment, more importantly, how did she change from a woman to a man?

In her previous life, Gu Xue worked hard for several years and finally paid off her student loan. She bought a dress she had wanted for a long time to reward herself a little, but as soon as she stepped out of the mall, she was driven directly by a car from nowhere. Knocked into the air, and before she could react, she lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, Gu Xue changed from a 25-year-old urban young woman who graduated from a bachelor's degree to Gu Yunji, a 14-year-old son of the Gu family who was not even a scholar.

If you come, you will be safe. Although it is not as good as those lucky ones dressed as princes and generals, but now you can eat enough to eat and wear clothes, and your family is not bad. Compared with some transmigrators who open their eyes, they are everywhere. With thatched huts and children waiting to be fed, he is already pretty good.

In a month, Gu Yunji had roughly understood the background of this era and the environment he was in.

This is an overhead world, the overall situation is somewhat similar to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the Great Xia Dynasty he lives in has been established for more than 100 years, and now it is the new king who has just established, and the year name has been changed to Jingfeng in the first month of this year.

The Gu family is an aristocratic family in this dynasty. The ancestors were the first batch of civil servants who took the imperial examination after the founding emperor established the dynasty, and they were teachers for the prince.Now it is even more official for many generations. Now the one with the smoothest official career in the clan has become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. In the future, nine out of ten will be a cabinet minister. It can be said that he is an extremely human minister and extremely honorable.

It's a pity that Gu Yunji is not from the same family, but a branch of the Gu family.

There are two main branches of the Gu clan, one is in the capital, and most of the children in the family have official status, and many of them gradually took root in the capital through the imperial examination.

The other branch is in the south of the Yangtze River, which is also the real Gu family, and the ancestral hall is located here.The branch in the capital also originated from here, and then developed and expanded in the capital.

The Gu family is a big clan in the south of the Yangtze River, with children all over the world, and the influence in the local Songjiang Prefecture is even more intertwined.Among them, the direct descendants are mainly distributed in Fucheng, and the old patriarch has served as an official to the Grand Master, and now he is quite famous in the entire state capital.

And Gu Yunji's father, Gu Kaizhen, was born in the Gu family of Songjiang Prefecture. He was a bastard and had no achievements in the imperial examination. He only had a reputation as a scholar and was not valued by the family.Not long after becoming an adult, he was separated out and took root in Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

As a concubine, he naturally didn't get much family property. What he got at the beginning was only a hundred acres of land and three or four shops.

Although Gu Kaizhen was not good at imperial examinations, he was very talented in business. When he was young, the few shops he managed by himself were very prosperous, he made a lot of money, and his family business grew a lot.

However, the hierarchy of scholars, farmers, businessmen and commerce is there. No matter how much money you make, you will still be despised by people in a scholarly family like the Gu family.

When the eldest son reached the age of studying in Kaimeng, Gu Kaizhen spent most of the money on buying land, and since then he has been an idle landlord and squire, nurturing the eldest son with peace of mind.

Therefore, although Gu Yunji was born in a famous family, he can actually be said to be a child of a poor family.The impoverished families here are not the real poor class, but families that have fallen into poverty, or families with little power.

We must know that in the ancient times with a clear hierarchy, especially for the aristocratic families who followed the system of eldest sons, the concubines were all servants from humble backgrounds, and the concubines were just the children of the servants, and most of them were not worthy of attention.

Seventy to eighty percent of the family property will be inherited by the eldest son in the future, and the rest will be distributed to the other sons. In a family like the Gu family, the family property that the concubine can get is only enough to barely live a wealthy life.

Only those bastards with outstanding abilities will be valued by the family, and thus more resources will be allocated to train them.

As a concubine, Gu Yunji knew that if he didn't enter the official career, his future destiny would definitely be inferior to that of his father, so he could give himself dozens of acres of land and forget it.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunji sighed.It seems that my best choice is to take the imperial examination road to become an official.However, 14-year-old Gu Yunji passed the college examination last year and became a child student.There is still a long way to go.

After the morning exercise, Gu Yunji was already covered in a thin sweat.

At this time, Xu Dong, the servant who accompanied him, reminded: "Third Young Master, it's almost time, it's time to go to pay my respects to the Master and Madam."

Gu Yunji agreed, and after tidying up his appearance, he walked towards the main courtyard.

At the entrance of the main courtyard, the young master Gu Yunxiao was already waiting there.

Gu Yunxiao is the eldest son of his wife. He has been valued since he was a child, and his father Gu Kaizhen personally enlightened him when he was a student.Gu Yunxiao did not live up to his parents' expectations, he studied very hard, and was admitted as a scholar a few years ago.This year when the new emperor ascended the throne and Enke was added, he also participated in the provincial examination in advance, but the results have not yet been announced, so he does not know what his results will be.

As the elder brother, Gu Yunxiao has always loved his siblings very much. Seeing the fine sweat on Gu Yunji's forehead, he asked:
"Why are you sweating so early in the morning? But your body is a little weak? I got a good ginseng plant a few days ago, and my third brother took it back to replenish Qi and blood."

After paying a salute, Gu Yunji smiled and rejected Gu Yunxiao's kindness: "Thank you for your concern, brother. I'm fine, I just got up in the morning and ran a few laps to exercise."

In fact, Gu Yunji has been practicing in the morning for several days, but Gu Yunxiao went to Fucheng to participate in the rural examination a few days ago, so he doesn't know.

Hearing this, Gu Yunxiao nodded appreciatively, and said encouragingly: "Recently, you have improved. You used to spend all day in your room reading, and you didn't go out very much. Now you look more energetic."

While talking, the second young master Gu Yunlin also arrived.

Like Gu Yunji, he is also a concubine.However, his biological mother, Aunt Sun, was born in Yangzhou Shouma, which is worse than Gu Yunji's biological mother, Aunt Zhao.But Aunt Sun has always been favored, so his life is second only to Gu Yunxiao, the young master who was born on the same day.

Seeing the two waiting for him, Gu Yunlin blushed, and after paying a perfunctory salute to Gu Yunxiao, he walked over to Gu Yunji and stood still.

When everyone arrived, Gu Yunxiao led his two younger brothers into the yard to pay his respects.

The Gu family has strict rules and regulations. The young masters, regardless of their concubines, are raised in the front yard. After getting up in the morning, they go to the hall to have breakfast with the master and his wife, and then go to school separately.

Ladies, you have more time to relax. You can greet your wife after breakfast in your boudoir.As for dinner, no matter the young master or young lady, we must wait for everyone to arrive and eat together in the hall.

In the hall, the master Gu Kaizhen and his wife Wang Shi have already sat upright.

After Gu Yunji and the three greeted him, they also took their seats.

Gu Kaizhen looked at his eldest son with satisfaction in his eyes: "Xiao'er has now passed the provincial examination, if she passes this time, she will give our family a good look, even if she is getting along with your cousins ​​in Fucheng." It's pretty good, too."

Gu Yunxiao is 19 years old this year. If he wins the exam once, he will be able to compare with most of his cousins ​​in the same generation. He will definitely win the favor of his grandfather in Fucheng, and even Gu Kaizhen himself will be able to get more attention from his family.

Hearing this, the second young master Gu Yunlin curled his lips secretly.

This scene was taken into Madam Wang's eyes, and she said calmly: "Brother Lin and Brother Ji should also work hard, learn a famous book as soon as possible, so as to honor my Gu family."

Gu Kaizhen suddenly seemed to remember something, his face became serious, and he glanced at the second son:

"Hmph, Mrs. Wei told me the other day that my second child's homework is a mess these days! I don't know what I'm doing all day, and you're already eighteen! It took two or three exams to qualify as a scholar, and you're still at the bottom. From now on If you don't work any more, I'll break your leg!"

When Gu Yunlin saw his father's eyes, he yelled inwardly, but now he was even more dejected after being scolded, shrinking in his chair like a quail, not daring to breathe.

Gu Kaizhen was cursing and cursing, when he saw Gu Yunji from the corner of his eye, he paused:
"And the third child, you should work hard. If you don't understand anything, ask your master more, don't be silent all day long."

Gu Yunji responded generously: "The son will live up to the expectations of his parents, listen to his master's teachings, and study well."

Hearing this, Gu Kaizhen looked at him a few more times. Gu Yunji used to be introverted and submissive, but now he looks a little different.

However, he only became a child last year. Although he is more practical than the second child, he is not very smart and has no talent for reading.Thinking of this, Gu Kaizhen shook his head secretly.

After a while, breakfast was served, the Gu family practiced not talking when eating or sleeping, everyone ate silently on the small table in front of them, and there was no sound in the hall for a while.
