Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth faceless woman
"I don't know, my ex-son went to visit him at his house, but his father didn't even let me see him!"
Gu Chengyu nodded clearly. It seemed that he would not be able to see Zheng Lun before taking part in the palace examination.
Zhu Pang suddenly remembered something, "By the way! I heard from my father that the rankings for this examination will be readjusted. During the verification process at Dali Temple, some candidates were found to have bad conduct. I think they will report to the Holy Spirit."
, draft a new list.”
Gu Chengyu was originally the first in the examination, but he was afraid that someone would take advantage of this opportunity to pull Gu Chengyu down. Although Zhu Pang didn't like to ask about these things, he had been exposed to it since he was a child, and he still understood the situation in the DPRK.
In recent years, officials from the northern and southern factions in the DPRK have disliked each other. There are many aristocratic families in the capital, but there are also many Qingliu aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Many Jiangnan officials were transferred to the capital and became capital officials.
Gu Chengyu was from the North and had occupied the first place in the examination. He was afraid that someone was gearing up to pull Gu Chengyu down and the second-placed man named Min Feng up.
"I know. When I went to visit my senior brother today, he already told me and said he would find a solution for me."
Gu Chengyu thought of the top twenty people who had no foundation. They might be pulled down and replaced by others, and they might not be able to take the imperial examination in the future.
"You just have to be aware of it. The second-ranked one named Min Feng seems to be a Jiangnan candidate and has joined Xia Shoufu's sect. You have to be careful. If your Huiyuan position is uncertain, someone else will be replaced."
Zhu Pang was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be reassured too early, so he quickly reminded him.
Gu Chengyu now felt that what Zhu Pang said was very reasonable. Min Feng had been secretly competing with him and regarded him as his number one opponent. And he always kept Min Feng under him. There was no way Xia Qing would pull him down.
Replaced by Min Feng.
After all, without him, Min Feng is more certain to win the title of No. 1 pick. It can be seen that Xia Qing attaches great importance to Min Feng and even asked Huang Junheng to take him with him to build momentum for him.
"If you want to plot against me, you also want to see if I answer or not."
Gu Chengyu sneered, "Everyone has shortcomings. How do you say this? I'm willing to be cut off to bring down the emperor."
And Xia Qing is so arrogant, isn't it because everything he does is within the range that the emperor can tolerate? At the moment, he seems to be incomparable, but when the emperor doesn't need him, these will become his fatal inducements
.
Zhu Pang didn't know why, but he believed that Gu Chengyu had such confidence. Gu Chengyu seemed to be confident in everything he did. In fact, he was able to achieve the results he expected in the end, which was exactly as he expected.
In fact, Zhu Pang admired Gu Chengyu in his heart. There was such a person in the world, and he couldn't even feel jealous even if he wanted to. In his father's words, Gu Chengyu was the proud son of God, and God really loved him.
There is only one thing Gu Chengyu can't do about, and that is that he has a bad background. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such a small achievement and have already caused trouble in the court.
In fact, what Zhu Pang didn't know was that Gu Chengyu had already extended his black hand to the court.
"By the way, let me tell you, there is a banquet at Tianxiang Pavilion tonight, will you go? I will take you to see it."
Gu Chengyu felt very speechless. This kind of person could only take a few breaths of serious time before he immediately returned to his playboy style.
"No! You have to go by yourself. It wasn't because of you last time that I was dragged to Tianxiang Pavilion and my couplet was posted on the toilet. Oh! What happened last time? Why were you so early in the morning?
So you went to Tianxiang Pavilion to get drunk? And you hooked up with Zheng Lun? How did you meet Min Feng and the others?"
Zhu Pang was also full of grievances when talking about this matter. He originally wanted to cry and complain to Gu Chengyu and the others, but as a result, such a big thing happened recently, and he forgot about it.
No, when he gets back, he will tell his father that he does not want to marry Master Kong's eldest daughter.
"Chengyu! When you go to my house tomorrow, you have to help me plead with my father!" Zhu Pang cried sadly, thinking that if he really married that woman in the future, it would be completely dark.
Gu Chengyu found it very funny, "What happened?"
"Didn't my father tell me we were kissed?" Zhu Pang picked up a jade Ruyi on the table next to Gu Chengyu and played with it, feeling depressed in his heart.
"I know you don't want to get married, but it's human nature for men to get married and for girls to get married. You have to get married." When Gu Chengyu said this, a strange feeling came out of his heart.
He picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and put away the strange feeling in his heart.
"Of course I know! So didn't I have no objection later? But last time I heard the prince of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion said that Lord Kong's eldest daughter was a faceless girl, and she was also a pockmark. I begged my father to break off the engagement.
My father didn’t agree and would beat me.”
The last time Zhu Pang heard that the girl was ugly, he begged his father, but his father refused to break off the engagement, so he drank to drown his sorrows.
Gu Chengyu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, he was helpless.
"How can I believe it if I hear it from hearsay? Don't mess around. Now that the engagement has been made and the three rites have been paid, the tax will be collected soon. She is an unmarried woman. How can you break off the engagement? It's not ruined.
Is this a girl’s reputation? You are too reckless, no wonder your father wants to beat you?"
Breaking off an engagement is a big deal. If a girl's family is broken off from an engagement because of her appearance, then the girl will either die or spend the rest of her life accompanying the Buddha. This will ruin the girl's life, and the family will never be the same again.
There will be a feud.
It would be better if Zhu Pang's father didn't kill Zhu Pang. It's really outrageous.
"That's what the eldest son of Zhan Yuanhou Mansion said. I don't want to marry such an ugly woman." Zhu Pang also knew that there was no room for change in this matter. He was not really ignorant, he just wanted to make trouble and make his heart
Just feel more comfortable!
"Then the prince has seen this girl? How can this girl be easily seen by him? I don't know where I heard the rumor. It's probably because my girl is beautiful and others are jealous of her. That's why she got a bad reputation.
.You! Don’t listen to the wind and it will be the rain.”
Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for officials in ancient times to marry ugly wives, and the children they gave birth to were even less likely to be ugly. Even if they were not immortal-looking, they would always have beautiful features, right? Of course, exceptions are not ruled out, but the chances are very small.
After hearing what Gu Chengyu said, he felt it was very reasonable and nodded repeatedly.
"Don't act like this anymore, lest Mr. Kong's family knows that Miss Kong has a prejudice against you. When they get married in the future, there will always be problems when they get along. Besides, you are making trouble.
Everyone knows that Mr. Kong’s face is disgraceful, and your father still has to apologize for you.”
Gu Chengyu's advice was very sincere. He only hoped that Zhu Pang would not hurt his face again and make him unable to step down.
