"Back to the young master, I already told you that we will be there in an hour. The second aunt's grandma told the young master and the second aunt to drink less wine."
Mingmo suddenly remembered the second aunt's grandmother's instructions and quickly told the matter. Otherwise, if the second aunt was drunk, his young master would also be scolded.
Second aunt refers to Gu Wan, which was a title that was later changed. After all, she is a married girl, so it is not good to be called "second girl, second girl" all the time.
Speaking of Gu Wan, Gu Chengyu thought of Gu Wan's little nephew who was just born last year. The little bun is very cute and will be one year old in more than a month.
After two years of decoration, the courtyard has changed greatly. Gu Chengyu entered the east wing, looked at the hot spring pool connected to the east wing, and decided to use this place as a banquet place.
As soon as you enter the wing, you are greeted by a warm feeling. The pool is surrounded by marble. It is said that the original owner put a lot of thought into transporting it specially from the south. The surface of the pool is covered with mist, making it look like you are entering the pool.
Like Jiutian Yaochi.
Gu Chengyu took off the crane cloak, and Ming Yan quickly stepped forward to take it and hung it on the shelf.
"Have the arrangements for the cook and the waiters been arranged?" There are not many maids in Gu Chengyu's house, only a few, mostly mothers-in-law and servants.
For this banquet, it would not be appropriate to ask the servants and the mother-in-law to serve. Therefore, he transferred several girls from the house over.
"Don't worry, young master! With Mother Liang here, nothing can go wrong." Ming Mo said with a smile.
The young master rarely entertains guests on his own property, and usually goes to restaurants. Only people who are close to him like the second uncle and Mr. Ye will come to the village or the house. This time, the classmate and the young master usually get along well, so he brought
Come to the hot spring village.
Gu Chengyu nodded and then went to the study room in the back of the house.
In the past two years in the Imperial College, Gu Chengyu, in addition to spending some energy on studying, also studied the Six Arts of a Gentleman. The so-called mastering the Five Classics and the Six Arts means that scholars must not only familiarize themselves with the Four Books and Five Classics, but also the Six Arts of a Gentleman.
Before the guests came, Gu Chengyu spread out the paper and prepared to draw.
Looking through the back window of the east wing, there is a plum blossom forest, which is in full bloom at the moment. There is also a pavilion in the middle. Gu Chengyu plans to bring a homemade barbecue grill and surround the pavilion after hunting game.
, it is also a kind of enjoyment to enjoy the plum blossoms while grilling meat.
After finishing the plum blossom painting to the last stroke, Ming Mo came to the study to report that Mr. Ye and his second uncle were here.
"Chengyu! You really made the right purchase in this hot spring resort. It's really a pleasure to come to the hot spring resort in winter. I haven't been to your resort in a long time."
Gu Chengyu put the painting on the desk to dry and quickly came out to greet the two of them.
As soon as Sun Xian saw Gu Chengyu, he praised him happily.
"Didn't you just come here with my second sister more than ten days ago? Come in quickly! It's very cold outside." Gu Chengyu was already very familiar with the two of them, so he joked without mind.
Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu followed into the house. As soon as they entered, they sighed comfortably, "It's so warm!"
Gu Chengyu and the others sat down, and Mingmo stepped forward to serve tea.
"Chengyu! Are you calling the two classmates with the best relationship in the Imperial College this time?" Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously as soon as he sat down.
"When they come, I will introduce them to you. They have good temperaments, and I believe that we will get along with each other." When Gu Chengyu talked about the two people, he remembered that one of them had a very similar personality to Wang Qikai. If Wang Qikai were here, maybe he would
The two can also become close friends.
Gu Chengyu didn't often mention the matter of the Imperial College to Sun Xian and the others, but Sun Xian and the others knew that it had not been easy for Gu Chengyu to study in the Imperial College these past two years. With Gu Chengyu's reputation, it was rare for him to be able to have both sides in the Imperial College without offending anyone.
If Gu Chengyu knew what Sun Xian was thinking, he would definitely be in trouble. He was just a farmer, and his teacher had already become an official. Except for three senior brothers with official positions, he didn't seem to have many connections. After all, Liang Zhirui was no longer the chief assistant, and he was gone.
Cool tea is nothing more than that.
The dandy in the Imperial Academy is not really a dandy. He was brought up by a noble family since he was a child. How stupid can he be? Of course, there are a few exceptions. So, on the surface, they all seem to be harmonious. As for how they look down on him as a farmer from behind.
, Gu Chengyu didn't know. However, he just didn't care.
People cannot choose their own origin, so they can only rely on their own efforts to climb up. If he climbs to a high position in the future, who can look down on his birth?
He didn't want to tell Sun Xian and others about this, and many people would be worried if he did.
"Young Master! The two young masters are here." Ming Yan came in from outside. He was called by Gu Chengyu and went to the entrance of Zhuangzi to greet them.
"Oh? Please come in quickly!" Gu Chengyu stood up quickly. The two of them hadn't been here yet, so he had to go out to greet them.
"Brother Sun, Senior Brother Ye, you guys stay here later, I'll go ahead to greet you."
"Go quickly!" Sun Xian urged.
From a distance, Gu Chengyu saw two teenagers, about 16 years old, coming from the corner of the corridor towards the east wing.
The one who led the way was the stupid Zhang Da just now. Gu Chengyu felt a little strange. Ordinarily, Steward Xu was also good at running a business, otherwise he wouldn't have become a steward of Zhuangzi. How could he choose such a boy to serve him this time?
Silly boy's rules are not good.
No matter what, people were brought. Gu Chengyu took a few steps forward and saluted the two of them.
"I've met Senior Brother Zheng and Senior Brother Zhu!"
"Junior Brother Gu, please hurry up and be polite. Brother Yu has got what he wanted today. I have long heard that your village has a hot spring. I must take a dip today!"
The speaker was Zheng Lun. He was wearing a blue feather-collared collar and straight robe, and a white jade crown on his head. He had strong features. He was a rich and handsome young master.
As soon as he finished speaking, before Gu Chengyu could reply, he heard another young master answer: "There are no outsiders here, so you are so eloquent, are you not feeling bitter?"
Gu Chengyu smiled when he heard this. This was Zhu Pang, the third son of the Minister of War. He had a slightly chubby figure and a round baby face, which made him look a little cute, but the words he spoke did not match his appearance. He was a thick man.
"Chengyu! We have been looking forward to bathing in hot springs for a long time. If you have money, Zhuangzi can get it." As soon as Zhu Pang approached Gu Chengyu, he punched Gu Chengyu on the shoulder with his fist.
"Huh? You have a good body!" Zhu Pang has been learning martial arts since he was a child, and the strength of this move is not small.
He was a little surprised that Gu Chengyu could take his punch, even though he wasn't very strong. But in his happiness, he forgot that Gu Chengyu was a scholar, so he punched him casually.
He didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be able to remain motionless. How could this not surprise him?
Zhu Pang's personality is similar to Wang Qikai's, but he is a bit playful. Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes, "Who told you that scholars should be weak? Otherwise, how could everyone persist in these consecutive days of exams?"
