After sending Gu Chengyu to Gu Chengyu, Qian Jiacheng was busy sending Min Feng and the others away. In fact, he did not dare to waste too much time. After the imperial examination, many concubines came to the Hanlin Academy. Although he did not need to receive them personally, he could
At that time, I will also help the bachelor Zhang Hai arrange for new officials.
"Mr. Gu, I have long heard of your extraordinary talent in poetry, and I have read your masterpieces before. I am deeply honored to be your colleague now."
As soon as Qian Kaifeng left, Ren Ge started chatting with Gu Chengyu.
"Sir Ren, you are really ridiculous. It really puts me to shame. These are just false reputations!"
Gu Chengyu glanced at Jiang Kenan and saw that he was only focused on what he was writing and didn't seem to notice the conversation here. Liu Zonghan came closer, but he seemed to be putting on airs and occasionally said a few words.
Ren Ge noticed Gu Chengyu's gaze and glanced at Jiang Kenan. The left corner of his mouth curved in a mocking arc, and then his smile immediately returned.
This was taken seriously by Gu Chengyu. Could it be that Ren Ge had a prejudice against Jiang Kenan? Or was there some dispute between the two of them?
It seems that there are only four people in this room including him, but there is a lot of trouble!
"Master Gu, please don't be modest. I heard that your handwriting is also very good. In the future, we still want to get the moon first if we want to get closer to the water than to the tower!"
At this moment, Liu Zonghan intervened. He had heard that Gu Chengyu created a face style and his writing was excellent. There was no copybook with that font on the market.
Now that Gu Chengyu has come to the Hanlin Academy, it's not too much for him to ask for one, right?
Gu Chengyu had to say a few more words of humility before he found an empty seat and sat down. He touched the table lightly and found that there was no dust. He found that the table must have been newly added and it was covered with dust.
wiped.
Gu Chengyu sighed, this is where he will work from now on. Only now did he have the most intuitive feeling of becoming an official.
"Eight hundred miles urgent, eight hundred miles urgent!"
"Pass the gold list, please avoid it as soon as possible! Violators will be punished!"
The officer guarding the city gate was checking the people entering the city. Suddenly, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. The officer was still thinking, who is so bold? Who dares to gallop outside the city gate?
Unexpectedly, as soon as they looked over, they heard the people on the two horses shouting loudly. The horses' hoofs were getting closer and closer. They raised the official documents in their hands and shouted a few more times.
One of the officers quickly came to his senses and said, "Quick! You all get out of the way, the gold medal is coming!"
He shouted, causing others to come to their senses. Several people roughly pulled the people standing around them to one side, and said, "If you don't want to die, stand aside, quickly!"
The people didn't know what was going on, but they were obedient. They quickly stood aside and watched the two horses crossing the city gate quickly, and the tokens they held high were shining brightly in the sun.
The horse was so fast that everyone present was frightened. Even the timid ones patted their chests and were thankful. If they were stepped on by that horse, they would definitely be dead or injured.
"Who are these people? Why are they so rampant?" Some people couldn't help but mutter.
"What do you know? That's a high-ranking official from the capital, here to bring good news to our Jingyuan Prefecture. Someone in our Jingyuan Prefecture has been admitted to the Jinshi."
The officer was very disdainful when he heard this and quickly showed off his pride.
Then it suddenly occurred to me that Jingyuan Prefecture was not a place with a prosperous literary style in the first place. For many years, there were few candidates for the imperial examination, let alone Jinshi. I didn’t expect that I would win this year.
However, he then thought of Gu Jieyuan, who had become famous in the past three years. Isn't he from their Jingyuan Prefecture? Everyone praised him as the Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth! Maybe it was Mr. Gu?
The officer felt that he had learned the truth, so he waited to go back and tell the news to his colleagues in the government office.
"Wow! Then our Jingyuan Prefecture is going to have an official!" The Jinshi people still understood. When the officer said this, they all became happy. Although they were not from their own high school, they, the people of Jingyuan Prefecture, also understood.
What an honor!
Jingyuan Prefecture, Shangling Village!
"Old lady, would you like to eat more?" A woman with a rough voice persuaded the woman lying on the kang, holding a bowl of lily and lotus seed soup.
"Mute Granny! You said that Xiaobao hasn't been back for more than a year, and you don't know if he can come back this year." It was Gu Chengyu's mother Lu who spoke.
The mute mother-in-law was poisoned and mute, and it was Gu Chengyu who gave her the antidote. Unfortunately, it took too long, and even if she was cured, her voice was damaged. It no longer had the clear voice before, and now her voice is a bit rough when she speaks.
.
Mrs. Lu looked at the expensive ornaments added to the room with blank eyes. Ever since Xiaobao went to the capital, she had been worried about it every day. The capital was too far away from Shanngling Village, and she didn't know exactly how far it was.
The farthest place she went was the provincial capital.
It took her a year and a half to see her dearest son, which made her regretful. Her mother was worried that her son had traveled thousands of miles, and she would rather Xiaobao didn't take the first prize and could just be by her side.
The mute mother-in-law sighed. Ever since the second aunt's grandmother got married and went to the capital, this house has become less and less popular. The big house has long since moved out of the old house, picked a piece of land in the village, and built another yard.
As for the second wife, after she lost all her money three years ago, she didn't have much money on hand, but she still lived in the old house.
Now that he is married to Wang Yueniang, life is not going to stop. The second master seems to have let go of his lust for women. After his health has improved, he even took a concubine.
"The day for the imperial examination has passed. If the Fifth Master passes the Jinshi examination, the official documents and good news should arrive at Jingyuan Mansion in the next few days. Old lady, just wait for the good news!"
The mute grandma knew that Mr. Lu was thinking about the Fifth Master again. In the past few days, she had seen Mr. Lu becoming obsessed with going to the capital.
"I hope so!" Ms. Lu was not very interested. Her eyes were out of focus and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Suddenly he added: "The third child and his mother-in-law are now having a son and everything is in order. Wouldn't it be nice for Yue'er to stay here with me? He even asked me to go back and help look after my younger brother. When I go back, I will be ordered around. The fourth child won't come back either.
He has been guarding his medicine shop all day long and has not come back to see my mother. I haven’t seen my two wonderful grandchildren for a long time."
She felt uncomfortable lying like this, so she turned over and continued to talk about her children.
"I've never seen Sister Wan's little buns. It's been a week already, and it's the right age for fun. Fortunately, Xiaobao drew a picture for me, otherwise I wouldn't recognize her even if I saw her!"
Mrs. Lu has been talking about this a lot recently, and the mute old woman knows that it is because the old lady feels lonely. However, it is impossible to say that the third and fourth masters will not come back to see her. They just came a few days ago, although they were not able to come back.
I am diligent and come at least five times a month.
