Mingmo received Gu Chengyu's order, took out twenty taels from his purse and put them in his arms, preparing to go to the front yard to send the two people away.
His elders had earlier asked him to put some money in the outer courtyard and put it on him because he often worked for the adults. However, when he went to the outer courtyard to get money, he also had to register with the management office of the outer courtyard.
It's just that the adults treat him and Ming Yan well. Their monthly salary is ten taels of silver per month, and they will receive extra silver rewards after completing errands. After all, following the adults, sometimes the work they do is very dangerous. So he received it from the outer courtyard.
The errand boy will never use it secretly, and his eyelids are not so shallow.
Gu Changbai and Gu Wanfang had already been led into the hall in the front yard to wait, and they were sitting anxiously and uneasily. Gu Wanfang was even the first time to come to the Gu Mansion, and she was very uneasy.
"Sir! We've been waiting for half an hour. Why hasn't the cousin you mentioned come over yet?" Gu Wanfang sat on a chair, feeling very awkward. It was really a surprise for them to come to the door like this.
"I have already inquired about the time when he is off duty, and I think he should have arrived at the house by now. Wait a minute, if you still want to study, you can't wait at this time? The nobles are busy with things, so we can wait and see.
What matters?"
Gu Changbai felt that his eldest grandson was a little out of temper and felt unhappy. However, he still comforted him a few words. After all, the purpose of their visit today was to ask Gu Chengyu to help recommend a school.
If Brother Fang loses his composure and speaks disrespectfully to his nephew, who is an official, then wouldn't their visit be in vain? Gu Chengyu said that his identity could not be confirmed until the people sent to Yingnan Mansion inquired.
But it has been several days.
He also knew that it would take a long time to get from the capital to Yingnan Mansion, but he was anxious about waiting and couldn't help but come to test Brother Fang's affairs again. To this day, the first thing the mysterious man told him was
Nothing was done. Since he came to the capital, the man has only appeared once, and he has not even seen Xiao Yao.
Gu Changbai sighed deeply in his heart. It's true that when people are sitting at home, disaster comes from the sky. Although their family originally lived in poverty, they could still get by. Unexpectedly, because their nephew became an official, they were involved.
Entered into these right and wrong.
There is also the eldest granddaughter, who has not yet been seen. At that time, the old bustard said that the eldest granddaughter was redeemed by his nephew, and he was a little worried. What can this man do to redeem a girl from a brothel? Did the eldest granddaughter and Gu Chengyu have any skin relations?
Kiss? If so, wouldn't it be marriage? These two people are cousins and uncles.
Gu Changbai suddenly thought about this in the past two days, and his thoughts about finding his eldest granddaughter have faded away. She has become a brothel girl, and now she has been redeemed by her cousin. If there is still something unspeakable between her and her cousin,
In terms of human relations, even our ancestors were so embarrassed that they crawled out from under the ground.
Today, he must ask about this matter. He doesn't know how to face his eldest granddaughter.
Ming Mo had already arrived outside the hall just now, but when he heard the two of them talking about his adults, he slowed down his steps. When he heard Gu Changbai talking about Gu Wanfang's study, he knew that these two people were going to study today.
That's the purpose of coming here.
Ming Mo came from the left side of the corridor, so the two people in the room couldn't see him. I wanted to hear what they had to say, but after Gu Changbai scolded Gu Wanfang, he stopped talking.
Ming Mo made the footsteps louder, and the two people in the room thought it was Gu Chengyu who was coming. They quickly stood up. Gu Wanfang was about to salute, but when he saw Ming Mo coming alone, he realized that he was dressed as a follower.
I feel a little disappointed, it seems I won't be able to see my cousin today.
Not to mention how Gu Changbai and the others returned without success, Gu Chengyu got up earlier than usual the next day. He opened the window and saw that the sky was still gray outside, and he began to do his daily homework.
Even after becoming an official, Gu Chengyu did not stop practicing calligraphy and painting every day. Unfortunately, since he entered the Hanlin Academy and was on duty, he had much less free time, and there was no progress in his painting during this period.
Zhang Hai went to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning. The preface submitted by Gu Chengyu was unanimously praised by the six departments. He waited until noon to submit it to Xia Shoufu for review. Although this matter was done by the six departments, it was still compiled by the Hanlin Academy.
The six volumes only provide some classics and suggestions.
The work of the Hanlin Academy is very heavy, not to mention the other blessings, imperial edicts, inscriptions, edicts, etc. that need to be compiled. There are also the compilation of historical records, hadiths, notebooks, jade certificates and other historical books, such as Jiaren Shilu.
, Huiming Records, etc.
Nowadays, coupled with the Dayan Conference and all the officials of the Hanlin Academy, even if they work all year round, it will still drag on for many years.
In addition to the Jingyan Ri Lectures, today's emperors have fewer summonses than before. The so-called Jing Yanri Lectures are to explain the reading and history of the scriptures to the emperor, analyze the meaning of the text, analyze the government, and provide the emperor with strategies for governing the country.
The original banquet lectures were held from February to the Dragon Boat Festival and from August to the Winter Solstice. They served on odd days and took turns to lecture and read. But now that the emperor was often ill, it became a summons from the emperor, which also made them Hanlin
The hospital felt a little more relaxed.
Not to mention the examiners or paper readers during the rural examination and the joint examination. If they do not meet officials from other government offices designated by the emperor, the Imperial Academy will have to dispatch officials to serve as examiners. However, not all officials of the Imperial Academy can go if they want to.
Yes, you still need to pass the exam before you can get this job.
Immediately, he thought that Gu Chengyu's ability was still good, so he would definitely have to do more work with him in the future. Zhang Hai thought about it in his heart, and he still had to find someone to teach Gu Chengyu to learn more.
Gu Chengyu didn't know yet that his days would be in dire straits. He was listening to Ming Mo reporting the purpose of Gu Changbai's visit yesterday.
"You mean, they came to me yesterday and wanted me to recommend an academy to them?" Li Chun was smoothing the wrinkles on Gu Chengyu's official uniform, and Gu Chengyu put on her black gauze hat and prepared to go to the Hanlin Academy to attend the ceremony.
The two girls who had just arrived at the side, Banxia and Lonicera, were unable to intervene, so they had to stand aside and wait.
Gu Chengyu frowned. He dressed himself every day when he got up early, and Lichun only tied his hair. Unexpectedly, Lichun packed his clothes today.
Ancient buns were very difficult to comb, and Gu Chengyu's long hair had grown to her waist. Gu Chengyu had always been handicapped when it came to buns, so Ming Mo and the others used to help, but now they changed to Li Chun.
"Yes! Mr. Gu told me yesterday that he wanted to ask your help in this matter." Ming Mo reported to Gu Chengyu respectfully.
"Those small private schools are just a little more expensive. Didn't I give you money? If you want to go to a big academy, then you have to forgive me because I can't do it. Entrance to the academy requires entrance examinations, so I can force him into it.
?If they still come here for this matter, just send them away like this."
