Chapter 647: The Speaker Behind the Scenes
Twenty years ago, Gao Xianwen was already extremely angry when he lost to Liao Wensheng in the competition for the position of editor-in-chief, and now that he has the opportunity, he feels that it should be his turn no matter what.
But above, he still didn't give him this opportunity.
Gao Xianwen's anger can be imagined, and for him, even if he can't be the chief editor, he should participate in the compilation, but he doesn't have this opportunity.
As long as he thinks about this kind of thing, he gets angry, so when he goes back, his face is also calm.
Over the years, through Gao Xianwen's personal efforts, his status and power are much stronger than before, and naturally, his status at home is much better than before.
But the ancient family is still like a mountain, pressing him.
At least that's what Gao Xianwen thinks.
But he had to go back, because if he went back late, the ugly and old tigress in his eyes would be angry.
At home, Gao Xianwen's wife has been waiting for a long time, and the food she cooked on the table is already a little cold, over the years, Mrs. Gao's temper has been much better than before, and she has converged a lot, at least she knows how to hurt people, and she is also learning to care about Gao Xianwen.
No matter what, this Mrs. Gao is from a famous family, she is the daughter of an ancient saint, and she has been reading and studying since she was a child, no matter how bad her temper is, she always understands the truth.
And as I get older, I am also a lot more peaceful, and in recent years, I am no different from my usual wife, waiting for my husband to come back at home, and managing the affairs of the family, which is also very tiring.
At this time, Gao Xianwen came back.
Mrs. Gao got up to greet her.
"The lord is back. Although Mrs. Gao is ugly, her voice is still quite good, but in Gao Xianwen's ears, it is very harsh.
He didn't like it very much.
So he just nodded, changed his clothes, glanced at the exquisite food on the table, ignored it, and went directly to the study. Mrs. Gao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Master doesn't eat something?"
"I don't want to eat it. Gao Xianwen refused with a word, even if he was at home, he tried to hide from his wife, because he felt that the repressed disgust was very uncomfortable.
He's been putting up with it for decades, and now he can't bear it anymore.
Gu Wensheng has already resigned from his official position to study at home, and if he wants to talk about influence, now Gao Xianwen's influence is no longer lost to his father-in-law, so sometimes, Gao Xianwen has dared to throw face at the other party.
Mrs. Gao frowned, her face was displeased, and she wanted to get angry, but thinking about it, she had really managed too much over Gao Xianwen over the years, so she endured it.
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, don't eat, I'll let the people below wait, when the master wants to eat, let them be hot. After Mrs. Gao finished speaking, Gao Xianwen had already stepped into the study.
Although Mrs. Gao has a bad temper and a rough appearance, she is actually very smart and a woman with a careful heart.
Looking at Gao Xianwen's appearance, he knew that the other party had something on his mind.
asked Gao Xianwen in the past, but he didn't say anything, Mrs. Gao quickly found Gao Xianwen's subordinates in Wensheng Academy, and asked her husband about the situation in Wensheng Academy, whether he was bullied, and when she asked like this, she knew that it was because of Chu Xian and because of the compilation of immortal classics.
Mrs. Gao raised her eyebrows at this time, and immediately said: "That Chu Xian is so young, why is he pressing my master everywhere? In terms of qualifications and literature, what kind of thing is he? This compiler, why can he do it, but my husband can't do it?"
The subordinate had a bitter face and didn't dare to say more, obviously, for the best tigress of the Gawain Holy Family, he had already heard a little about it.
For things in the officialdom, Mrs. Gao doesn't care at all on weekdays, even if it's Chu Xian, she only knows that there is such a person, but she doesn't know what the specific situation is.
Naturally, on the premise of not understanding the situation, Mrs. Gao is definitely towards her husband, of course she will help Gao Xianwen, but just like her character, although she is hot, she is not the kind of person who is completely unreasonable, so although she scolded a few words, she went to her father to discuss this matter.
Although Gu Wensheng has left the officialdom and is recuperating, he still has some influence in the officialdom of the Holy Dynasty, and he also knows a lot of inside information.
His own woman came to complain and asked him to help his son-in-law, Gu Wensheng just smiled slightly, pulled his daughter to sit down, and then said: "This matter is not as simple as you seem on the surface, Xianwen is my son-in-law, after so many years, what kind of person is he, how can you and I not know?" To tell the truth, Xianwen has a somewhat paranoid personality, when he used his writing to achieve results, he failed several times, and he was disheartened, I was afraid that he would sink, so I used means to help him achieve Wensheng, thinking that after a long time, it may be a good thing for him to sharpen his temperament. But over the years, Xianwen has not made much progress, this is nothing, people have no talent, but seeking peace, living a peaceful life is not just trying to be peaceful, plain. As for the compilation of the immortal canon, the inside story is very complicated, Liao Wensheng was able to overpower him back then, because Liao Wensheng was more suitable than him, and today, Chu Xian can overpower him because Chu Xian is more suitable than him, this is not a person, it is a thing, and I also agree with the matter of letting Chu Xian serve as the chief editor. ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Gao was taken aback, she didn't expect it to be like this.
His own father would actually help outsiders?
But as my father said, this kind of big thing, no favoritism, what to do, you have to do business, this awareness, Mrs. Gao still has it.
So she didn't make any more trouble, but immediately sent someone to investigate, because Gao Xianwen's subordinates said that this Chu Xian borrowed the power of the Zhongshu Order, which overpowered Gao Xianwen, if the other party was really bullying, then Mrs. Gao would definitely not let her husband be bullied.
At that time, even if it is a ruckus, even if her father does not help her, she will get her husband back for justice.
A few days later, Mrs. Gao sat at home, her face a little ugly.
In the past few days, her husband Gao Xianwen has said more than once that Chu Xian is not behind his back, saying that the other party is only shallow in learning, and saying that this Chu Xian is relying on his backer, so he got the errand of the chief editor, and also said that Chu Xian can't compile the shocking immortal canon at all, in short, it is all kinds of slander behind his back, and even, under Gao Xianwen's deliberate creation, a lot of rumors have been formed in Jingzhou, although it sounds like a rumor, but if you listen to it too much, it will give people a feeling that Chu Xian is not capable of compiling.
But is that really the case?
Mrs. Gao did scold Chu Xian a few days ago, but after her father Gu Wensheng ordered it, the people who secretly sent it out to check it, but the real situation was completely different from what her husband Gao Xianwen said, and it was even diametrically opposed.
No matter from which point of view, Chu Xian is currently the most suitable candidate for compiling the "Immortal Canon", and at this point, the Holy Dynasty did not choose the wrong person.
There is no doubt about it.
"It's impossible for him not to know this, I know, he's still hurting people behind his back, this is a problem with his character, although I am domineering and have a bad temper, but at least I am reasonable, my lord, he is gentle and elegant on the surface, but behind the scenes, he is doing disgraceful things. But I am a family with him, and at this time, I have to help him get out of this matter, persuade him to be kind, and persuade him to let go. Mrs. Gao thought of this, and then after Gao Xianwen came back again, she deliberately went to the study to find him.
Gao Xianwen was very displeased when he heard that his wife had come to him, but it was not easy to refuse, so he let him enter the study.
"Madam, what's the matter?" Gao Xianwen deliberately made a pen and writing at this time, as if there were many affairs, and he hurried all the time.
But in fact, he didn't have anything to do before, and he pretended to be like this, just to let Mrs. Gao retreat from the difficulties and not disturb him.
To tell the truth, after living as a husband and wife for so many years, Mrs. Gao also knows Gao Xianwen very well, knowing that the other party is pretending, but she did not debunk it, but suppressed the anger in her heart and tried to show her calmness: "Master, I have something to tell you." ”
"Oh!" Gao Xianwen saw that the other party was not leaving for a short time, so he put down his pen.
Mrs. Gao has a very straight personality and has no foreshadowing, so she directly put this matter out and began to dissuade her. Let's just say that the compilation of immortal canons is already a foregone conclusion, don't make any more trouble, let alone say bad things about people behind your back, this is not what literati should do, and said that if you continue like this, you will only cause trouble for yourself.
Mrs. Gao can be regarded as knowing and reasoning, but Gao Xianwen didn't listen to a word.
He was not convinced, and even more disdainful.
Especially when these words came from the mouth of the lady he had always hated, it made him angry and disgusted in his heart.
"Hmph, that Chu Xian Huangkou child, what do you know? Can he compile the "Immortal Dictionary"? I think it is the officials above who are blind, and besides, what I said is the truth, why be afraid?" Gao Xianwen is still holding on, and he is even more forceful.
Mrs. Gao was furious.
She had a temper outburst and slapped the table, which directly startled Gao Xianwen.
"Master, what do you think, I know that I am doing this for your good, and I can't twist my arms around my thighs, not to mention, whether it is public or private, you can't talk about people behind your back, this is the ethics of literati, and you are indeed not suitable for compiling immortal classics, this matter is not about seniority, it is based on ability, and also, the Shoufu Pavilion has actually solicited the opinions of some old Wensheng, they all support Chu Xian, and no one has recommended you, so you wake up, don't go further and further on the crooked road. "Mrs. Gao has a straight temperament, she will say whatever she thinks in her heart, she is sincere, but some people don't think it, just like Gao Xianwen, but at this moment, she feels that she is laughing at herself.
At the moment, Gao Xian's face was hideous: "Now even you look down on me? Think I'm messing around? By the way, you said that all the old Wensheng support Chu Xian, what about my father-in-law, he is too?"
Mrs. Gao nodded.
Gao Xianwen finally became furious and scolded: "What about the family, bullshit, your ancient family has looked down on me Gao Xianwen from the beginning, do you think I can't see it? I understand, your family wants to press me, and they are afraid that I Gao Xianwen will soar into the sky, so they deliberately suppress it, and would rather help outsiders than help me, but they don't want to give me Gao Xianwen this opportunity, isn't it?"
