After hearing this, Ming Mo moved his hands for a moment. Although he felt that what Gu Chengyu said was reasonable, he was still a little concerned in his heart. After all, after serving the young master for six years, he and Ming Yan had always taken care of his daily life, and now he actually wanted to
Leave it to Lichun.
"How can this be considered hard work? I'm not tired at all."
Gu Chengyu understood their feelings, but in the future, Ming Mo and the others would have more and more things to do, so it would be better to leave these trivial matters in life to Li Chun.
None of the other servants in the mansion know martial arts. If someone of Ding generation has to do things for him outside and work as a servant in the mansion, that is overqualified and underutilized.
The girl in Lichun took care of his daily life, and besides, he didn't have much time to serve him. She only had to take care of the house for him.
"You and Ming Yan have taken care of me for six years. They have always been the people around me and the people I trust the most. I don't let you do these chores because I want you to focus on the things I told you. You
How can you waste your time on such trivial matters when you are out walking for me?"
Gu Chengyu knew that if he wanted Ming Mo and the others to change their minds, he would have to spend a lot of time to avoid having any thoughts in his heart. Ming Mo and the others were reliable in doing things. As long as he ordered them, there was rarely anything they couldn't do, even Ming Yan in the past two years.
They have become much more mature and steady.
Think about it again, isn't it? Ming Mo is already sixteen this year! Ming Yan is only one year younger than Ming Mo. If he were in Shangling Village at the age of sixteen, he would probably have to marry a wife.
"Ming Mo, you are sixteen this year, right? You are of age to get married, do you have someone you like?" Gu Chengyu asked jokingly.
There are also several older girls in the house, and some of them are quite good-looking. Maybe Ming Mo has someone he likes before he even finds out?
Gu Chengyu admitted that he was a bit gossipy. He had no choice but to ignore the important marriage matters of his subordinates! Naturally, servants must obtain the consent of their masters when they get married. For servants from wealthy families, they usually ask the master's family to choose one.
Ming Mo was a little embarrassed. Those girls were naturally attentive, but they didn't think about that at the moment. The young master was still young, but he actually reminded them of life-long events.
"Master, please don't worry, I don't have a crush on you." Ming Mo blushed and hurried out of the house.
Gu Chengyu laughed dumbly. Was he shy?
The next day, Gu Chengyu asked Ming Yan to send someone to Tianxiang Pavilion to pick up Hua Lian and prepare a thank you gift for Xi Yan. Since he had troubled others, he would not be stingy.
I just asked about Hua Lian's situation and heard that she was fine. I didn't have time to ask in detail, so I hurriedly got into the carriage and prepared to go to the Wu Mansion to visit first.
The carriage turned around two streets and entered the alley to the north. Fortunately, the Wu Mansion and the He Mansion were not far apart. Even the Chiang Mansion was on this street. Gu Chengyu could still make it to three houses in one morning.
After getting off the carriage, the steward of the outer courtyard led him to the outer study.
Wu An was checking official documents in the study when he saw Gu Chengyu coming. He glanced at him without showing much enthusiasm.
"Second Senior Brother!" Gu Chengyu saluted first, and then sat down opposite Wu An.
"The fraud case is over. The royal list will be posted in the next two days to clear the innocence of you candidates. The imperial examination will be held in less than a month. Since the senior brother is already taking care of you, I think there will be no problem. You have recently
You still have to focus on studying.”
Wu An got straight to the point when he opened his mouth. Facing his younger brother who was younger than his eldest son, he could only say some words of encouragement to prevent Gu Chengyu from failing in the exam and losing his reputation as a teacher.
Gu Chengyu nodded in agreement, then stood up again and bowed his head towards Wu An, "I would like to thank senior brother for your help in the previous matter. Chengyu is very grateful."
Wu An nodded with satisfaction. This junior brother is a grateful person, and the teacher didn't miss it this time.
"You and I, brothers, don't need to say thank you. The teacher is not in the capital, so the brothers should take care of you."
Gu Chengyu thanked him again, and the two of them ignored the matter.
After that, Wu An told Gu Chengyu what happened in the court. Maybe it was because Gu Chengyu was going to take the palace examination and would become an official later. Wu An no longer guarded against Gu Chengyu and talked about some of the things in the court.
"If you want to take part in the imperial examination this time, you have to be wary of Xia Qing. You are the first in the examination. The officials in Jiangnan may find ways to pull you down because they don't like you. Although senior brother will help you,
But you can’t take it lightly.”
Wu An thought for a while and then said to Gu Chengyu: "However, you have always kept yourself clean. As long as you don't do anything inappropriate, there is nothing those people can do to you."
After hearing this, Gu Chengyu immediately thought, what's wrong? Does it count if he visits a brothel? Thinking about this, he looked a little embarrassed.
Many people know about the trip to Tianxiang Pavilion last night. Will it reach the ears of those Jiangnan officials? Will this matter be used as a raft?
Wu An saw the strange expression on Gu Chengyu's face and frowned, "You couldn't have done anything inappropriate recently, right? If anything happens, tell him as soon as possible so that we can think of countermeasures together."
Gu Chengyu suddenly felt a little burning on his face. He was really embarrassed to say anything about visiting a brothel. Although he didn't do anything, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
So, he hesitantly recounted what happened to him when he went to Tianxiang Pavilion last night.
Wu An has long heard about the literary meeting in Tianxiang Pavilion. Although he has never been there, everyone in the capital knows about the literary meeting in Tianxiang Pavilion. The literary meeting is held every year, and countless talents attend it every time.
Wu An thought about it. Going to a brothel always has a bad reputation. Although he was just going to attend a cultural gathering, after all, Gu Chengyu still bid the price. Even if it was to save the girl, other people didn't know! They thought Gu Chengyu
I really went there for the romance!
Even if other people have this purpose, nothing will happen. But Gu Chengyu is on the cusp of the storm, and this matter may become a lever in the hands of those people.
For this reason, Wu An looked a little unkind. However, he immediately thought that Gu Chengyu was still a young man, so it was understandable to be interested in these things.
"Senior brother, since I have promised that girl, I must keep my word. Originally, I just accompanied Zhu Pang to see the cultural gathering, and I had no intention of taking action. But now that I have encountered her, I can't just sit back and watch."
Gu Chengyu didn't think so much before. It seems that he was too confident and thought that with Yin Kun's protection, there would be no trouble. He made another mistake. It seems that he was too proud. The court was
Where?
It was a battlefield where people were killed without blood. He thought he could turn things around in the fraud case, so he ignored the courtiers. Little did he know that those people would make him tired of dealing with it just because they had evil intentions.
Gu Chengyu felt ashamed of his previous pride. With such a mentality, he would not be able to go far in the officialdom.
Seeing that Gu Chengyu knew the seriousness of the matter, Wu An didn't know what to say.
