Yiqin was a little surprised when she heard that the young man called himself Gu Chengyu. Gu Chengyu, she heard her father often mention, saying that this boy was extremely intelligent and round on the outside but square on the inside. If the imperial examination went well in the future, he would definitely make achievements in the officialdom.
What surprised her even more was that this Gu Chengyu was the boy she saw standing on the window two years ago?
Gu Chengyu waited for a while, but didn't hear the other person return the greeting, and was a little puzzled. He heard that the other person was one year older than him, so he should be right to call him senior sister, right? Just when Gu Chengyu was puzzled, Yi Qin suddenly reacted,
Thinking of my behavior just now, my face turned red. It was so rude!
She knelt down as a return gift, and at the same time whispered back: "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite!"
"Chengyu is here outside the door? Why don't you come in?"
I think Master Wen heard what the two were doing, so he called out loudly.
"Master, you are the student." Gu Chengyu straightened up, turned towards the study and replied.
After saying that, he turned around and bowed to Yiqin, and then walked into the study. However, Yiqin, who was outside the study, saw that he could not go back in, so he had to take the maid back the same way.
"Master!" Gu Chengyu saluted Master Wen again, somewhat confused as to why Master Wen asked him to come.
"Well! You came early. I thought you would come back in a few days. Did you meet your senior sister just now? This girl doesn't understand the rules too much." Wen Fuzi said while looking at the expression on Gu Chengyu's face.
. He did not expect that Yi Qin would come to the outer courtyard to find him at this time. He was afraid that Gu Chengyu would misunderstand that Yi Qin did not understand the rules and leave a bad impression on Gu Chengyu.
"It's a coincidence that the private school has already been on holiday. Senior sister would not have expected that the student would come to see the master today, but the student was reckless and did not let Uncle Lin inform him." Uncle Lin is the concierge. If Master Wen is in the study, Uncle Lin is
There is no need to inform the mother-in-law in the backyard.
However, even if it is not his fault at this time, it can only be his fault. The reputation of ancient women is particularly important, and it can only be won by him. Gu Chengyu thought that Master Wen was worried that he would spread the word outside, so,
He also wanted to reassure Mr. Wen. Who knew that Mr. Wen didn’t mean the same thing as he did.
After hearing what Gu Chengyu said and seeing that there was no expression of disgust on his face, Master Wen nodded with satisfaction.
"Have you already made plans? Will the preparations for next year's county examination be too hasty?"
"Students are ready. If they fail, they will take the exam next time." Gu Chengyu smiled. Although he was quite confident about this exam, there are always exceptions to everything, right? He couldn't boast.
"Since you can see clearly, I won't advise you anymore. You will have many opportunities in the future at your age. Besides, you memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, and have also dabbled in other books. If you play well, you should be able to pass. Go back.
If there is anything you still don’t understand, just come to the private school and ask me.”
In fact, what Master Wen didn't say was that, judging from Gu Chengyu's daily performance, he should be able to get a good ranking, and this year should be his last year in private school. It was just that he was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be proud and complacent, so he deliberately didn't say it.
"Thank you, Master! I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you again in the future!"
"By the way! Does your family have anything for you?"
"Master!" Before Master Wen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden shout.
Master Wen took a look and found that it was Uncle Lin, the concierge.
Master Wen was a little unhappy when he was interrupted by Lin Bo.
"Master! My uncle is here, and I have already led him into the front hall."
Master Wen was not surprised when he heard that his uncle-in-law had come, because his wife had said yesterday that his uncle-in-law had something important to do with him today. Then he frowned again. He originally wanted to ask Gu Chengyu if his family had arranged an engagement for him. If so,
No, he just hinted.
Although it was his parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, he was Gu Chengyu's wife and could also be regarded as his teacher. It was not out of bounds to ask him about his marriage. Although his little daughter was one year older than Gu Chengyu, as the saying goes: women
Freshman year, holding a gold brick is also a good match.
If Gu Chengyu understands, goes back and informs his parents, and finds a matchmaker to propose marriage, then everyone will be happy. But even if the other party has arranged a marriage, he has not said it clearly, and it will not have much impact on his daughter's reputation.
As for whether Gu Chengyu could understand, he was not worried at all. Gu Chengyu was accustomed to hearing the sound of strings and knew the elegant meaning. He was a smart person and did not need to explain his words.
But the topic was interrupted just now, and because his uncle came so early, he must have something important to do, so he was a little embarrassed.
"Since Master Wen has a visitor, the student will leave first." Seeing that Master Wen seemed a little embarrassed, Gu Chengyu said goodbye.
"Then let's stay for a while and have lunch before leaving!" Master Wen didn't want to let Gu Chengyu go. He had a premonition that if he missed today, he didn't know if he would have another chance in the future.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master! It's just that I still have some things to do in the town. After I finish them, I have to go back early when it gets dark." Gu Chengyu could only refuse Master Wen's offer of food.
"Okay! Then you can come over when you are free in the future." Master Wen saw that Gu Chengyu had something to do, so he couldn't force it too much, otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss of status?
"Then student, I'll take my leave now!" Gu Chengyu bowed to Master Wen and then exited the study.
Master Wen looked at Gu Chengyu's retreating back, I'm afraid this matter won't work out, it's God's will!
Gu Chengyu didn't know it. He wanted to help his second sister to connect, but he didn't know that others also had his mind set on him.
After coming out of the private school, it was already the beginning of Chenshi, and Gu Chengyu walked quickly towards the south of the town.
The south side of the town is full of civilian households. Basically every household has a small yard. Of course, there are exceptions.
"Master! This way!" Yu Pengzi had been waiting at the door outside the courtyard for a long time. As soon as he saw Gu Chengyu's figure, he immediately stepped forward and shouted softly.
Gu Chengyu followed Yu Pengzi into this courtyard that looked a bit old on the outside. Once inside, Gu Chengyu discovered that there was a hidden world inside.
Originally, the yard looked narrow from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be so big inside.
"Sir! This courtyard was bought by a wealthy family specifically to hide people. The layout inside is not bad!" Yu Pengzi was a little surprised when he saw Gu Chengyu come in, so he explained. After saying that, he thought that Gu Chengyu was still a baby, maybe
Don't understand this.
Paramantic Yu glanced at Gu Chengyu, and when he saw the other person's expressionless expression, he thought he didn't understand, but he didn't explain further.
In fact, Gu Chengyu knew that the so-called Tibetan people meant that the masters of wealthy families arranged outer rooms. In a yard like this, the space inside cannot be large. After all, people have money, so they have to live comfortably, right? Moreover, the appearance must look inconspicuous, which increases
Its concealment.
At this time, there was an old woman standing in the yard, rubbing her apron and looking at him anxiously.
"Sir! This is the mute grandma. She is responsible for guarding the door and cooking on weekdays. She can hear, but she was given mute medicine by her previous owner. She is not literate yet and will not go out and talk nonsense." I think it was Yu who was talking before.
The paralytic man told the mute mother-in-law about the coming of the master's family, so she seemed a little nervous.
