Three hundred and sixtieth chapters in the limelight
"Ah? So there are so many things to pay attention to?" Gu Wan's enthusiasm was soaked by cold water. However, she immediately thought that her mother was not very young, so that day should not be far away.
"Chengyu! Come out quickly and return my jade pendant." Gu Chengyu had just changed out of the No. 1 Scholar uniform after Gu Wan and the others left, when she heard Zhu Pang's shout.
"Young Master! Young Master Zhu is here." Ming Mo immediately came in to report. Young Master Zhu was impatient and if he didn't report earlier, he might have to force his way in.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "Let him come in!"
Li Chun quickly hung up Gu Chengyu's No. 1 Scholar's uniform, and then hung a purse around Gu Chengyu's waist. Originally, Gu Chengyu did all these things himself, but since Li Chun came, he has been more meticulous in his service.
Although Gu Chengyu is not used to it, he also knows that this is his job. If he really doesn't let others interfere, then Li Chun will definitely feel panic in his heart.
Gu Chengyu packed up and went to the outside of the main room, where he saw Zhu Pang eating the pastries on his table with his legs crossed.
Seeing Gu Chengyu come out, he looked him over and laughed again. Gu Chengyu was a little confused as to why he was laughing, but he thought it was nothing good, so he didn't ask, went straight to the table, and poured it for himself.
Bowl of tea.
Zhu Pang came over with a mean face and said, "Hey? You are in the limelight today! There are so many people, especially the girl's family. The children of the aristocratic families who went with me are very envious!"
Speaking of this, Gu Chengyu felt his scalp numb, and he said angrily: "Then you guys go try it? You don't know how painful it is when those things hit your body, do you?"
If it was just a purse, a handkerchief, etc., then of course it wouldn't be that heavy. But the purse and handkerchief were light in weight and couldn't be thrown far, and they didn't know what they had packed in them. Anyway, it hurt a little when it hit Gu Chengyu, and he almost died.
His No. 1 pick hat was also smashed off. One can imagine how much force was used?
Zhu Pang didn't expect this at first, and he thought it was right when Gu Chengyu said this. Just now he envied Gu Chengyu for becoming the number one scholar, wearing red flowers and riding on a tall horse. The people were cheering and screaming at him. Then
How majestic is it?
At this moment, he couldn't help but sympathize with Gu Chengyu, because he saw at that time that Gu Chengyu had the most money, and he must have suffered a lot.
"Ahem! You're thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if you get hit by those purses. Those girls were sure to hit you for it. I looked and saw that the last two had much less."
In fact, Zhu Pang was gloating in his heart, and Min Feng did not expect to become the Tanhua Lang. His father also said that Gu Chengyu might have a high chance of becoming the Tanhua Lang. Because Gu Chengyu was good-looking, and since ancient times, all Tanhua Langs were not as good-looking as jade trees.
Facing the wind, looking dignified?
Generally, the younger ones are ranked third, and the older ones are the top picks. Who knows, his father guessed wrong, and Gu Chengyu became the third-ranked pick, which is rare in a century. And Min Feng's talent and learning are especially outstanding.
On top of Fu Yanshan, and with the help of Xia Qing, not to mention the top pick, the top spot is definitely there.
But things in the world are often unexpected. His father analyzed that the emperor might be dissatisfied with Xia Qing. Yes, the emperor was almost in his sixtieth year. Previously, he had left the court affairs to the cabinet and only picked up the important memorials for review.
Now, he even put alchemy aside and started to deal with the mountains of memorials. And he still did everything in detail, which shocked all the civil and military officials, and then they were extremely happy.
As the head of the cabinet, Xia Qing is almost covering the sky with one hand. The emperor should also be afraid that he will become addicted to alchemy again and let Xia Qing take control of the government. So, will Xia Qing start to weaken Xia Qing's power now?
Previously, the emperor was afraid of the aristocratic family. He believed that the aristocratic family's relationships were complicated and complicated, and that he was afraid of threatening the government, and he did not want to be controlled by the aristocratic family all the time, so he supported Xia Qing.
The former Chief Assistant Liang Zhirui was Gu Chengyu's teacher. He had a somewhat upright temperament and couldn't stand the emperor's alchemy, so he took the initiative to resign. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed, and he probably got tired of hearing it. Xia Qing used to be sweet-tongued and was used to trying to please. , which naturally made the emperor happy, so favoritism gradually began to appear.
It was because of this that Liang Zhirui was so angry that he went to his ancestral home, preparing to teach and educate people so that he could become a great Confucian all over the world.
"Let me tell you, Min Feng's nose must have been crooked with anger." For this once-in-a-lifetime honor, Gu Chengyu actually stole the limelight and only got third place. If this were Zhu Pang, he would be crying like a ghost. .
"He is a prostitute, why is he so angry?" In fact, Gu Chengyu was also thinking about this problem. The results of this palace examination must be the emperor's own wishes. They are all the top three appointed by the emperor. As for Xia Qing who submitted it , needless to say, it is impossible for me to be ranked first.
So the emperor is dissatisfied with Xia Qing? Gu Chengyu doesn't know. Xia Qing has been an official for decades, and the relationship between the court and the court goes without saying. The emperor must also want to weaken his influence in the court. This time, Yijia is just right. He could test Xia Qing and give him a warning.
What's next? Maybe a prince will be brought up, or one or two from those noble families will be selected to restrain Xia Qing. The teacher once said that Shen Shikang, the Minister of Household Affairs, is quite capable, and he is probably the first choice.
"Min Feng's teacher is Xia Shoufu. When you enter the court in a few days, be careful not to get in other people's way." Zhu Pang only pointed out that, and it was difficult to explain too clearly. This is still his father. The only thing he was asked to say was this. His father said that Gu Chengyu would understand.
Gu Chengyu saw Zhu Pang's rare serious expression and knew that this was what Zhu Pang's father asked him to do.
"Thank you, I will be extremely careful in the future!" Gu Chengyu didn't point it out and just pretended that he didn't know.
Min Feng returned to Xia Mansion with a livid face. Xia Qing came back from the government office early in the morning and was already in the study.
"Congratulations to Mr. Min for becoming the man who discovered the beauty!" When the steward of the outer courtyard saw Min Feng coming, he quickly saluted him.
Min Feng nodded, his face sinking for a moment. But after a moment, he smiled again, "Thank you! Is the teacher back?"
"The master has left the office early today and is already in the study in the outer courtyard." After hearing this, Min Feng walked away.
As soon as Min Feng left, the steward of the outer courtyard spat. At the same time, he thought to himself, he was really poor, relying on their house for food and accommodation. If it weren't for their master, this Tanhualang might still have to live in an inn!
On such a happy day, I didn't know how to give out red envelopes to servants like them to show off the joy. I was really stingy. Even the wedding money that was given out was helped by their family. This Min Feng What a poor person!
When Min Feng first came to live in their house, he was still polite to these servants. Now that he has become the master's closed disciple, he behaves like a master.
