Gu Chengyu took a closer look at Jiang Kenan and saw that he was really jealous, but Jiang Kenan didn't know it!
However, the other party has no ill intentions. It is normal for others to be jealous if a big tree attracts wind. Doesn't it mean that people who don't attract jealousy are mediocre? Gu Chengyu couldn't help but comfort himself in this way.
In fact, if this were said to Ren Ge and Liu Zonghan, it would not surprise anyone. These two people often joke with him, so it is normal for them to say such things.
Gu Chengyu sighed, in order for everyone to coexist peacefully in the future, he would definitely shed some blood.
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but I've asked the emperor to take the preface. The emperor gave the order and said that it needs to be collated by other government offices."
Gu Chengyu didn't want to be isolated, so he tried to speak as gently as possible, then stood up and bowed his hands to the three of them.
Among the three people, Zhi Renge's thoughts are the most unpredictable and difficult to discern, while the thoughts of the other two are not difficult to guess.
It was Ren Ge who made Gu Chengyu a little afraid. He had heard before that Ren Ge was highly appreciated by Zhang Hai and was one of the candidates for promotion to the Imperial Academy.
"Hey? Jin Yu! This is a great contribution from you! It seems that the emperor attaches great importance to your preface." When Liu Zonghan heard this, he couldn't help but be very envious.
Ren Ge had mixed feelings in his heart. These officials who had just entered the Hanlin Academy were indeed quite talented. Gu Chengyu was a leader among them, and Min Feng was not an ordinary person either.
And they are not those bastards who will find a way out after disbanding in three years.
Although Gu Chengyu and the others are still relatively junior, it is not impossible for them to be promoted within three years if they have merit.
However, there have been such examples in previous dynasties, but this dynasty has not yet set a precedent.
Which one enters the Hanlin Academy and doesn't have to wait for several years before being promoted?
Ren Ge originally thought that with Zhang Hai's recommendation, he would have a greater chance of being promoted to the rank of Attendant. But now he is not sure. There are many talented people in the Hanlin Academy with backgrounds. Those who work hard like them,
I don’t have any connections and I don’t know when I can move.
Thinking about it this way, he felt that Gu Chengyu was valued by the emperor after all, and he couldn't be like Jiang Kenan and say sarcastic words to others. He still had to make friends with this person, and he might be able to beg him in the future.
"Yes! Jin Yu, I don't think we will have to rely on you to take care of us in the future!" Ren Ge smiled and patted Gu Chengyu on the shoulder, with a very optimistic expression on Gu Chengyu's face.
Ren Ge is a very tactful person, and what he says often makes people feel like a breath of fresh air, but is not too flattering and makes people tired of hearing it. And he never lowers his posture too much to make others look down upon him.
Gu Chengyu felt that it was very worry-free to work with this person, but Liu Zonghan was more utilitarian, so Gu Chengyu still admired Ren Ge.
"I shouldn't take this seriously. I just entered the Hanlin Academy. I should ask everyone to take care of me." Gu Chengyu said humbly.
"Besides, since I entered the Hanlin Academy, everyone has taken good care of me, and I am deeply touched by your friendship. I wonder if you have any free time today. I want to do something, so I would like to thank you if you invite the three of you to gather at Juxiang Tower.
Everyone’s suggestions over the past few days.”
Since ancient times, the dinner table has been the best way to close the distance between people. What's more, people with short hands and soft mouths can be tough to deal with. These people had praised Juxianglou very much before, so he naturally chose his own restaurant. He didn't have to open his own restaurant.
But I still have to go to another restaurant to eat.
However, it would not be appropriate for him to reveal that he is the owner of the restaurant, lest the three of them become more jealous. Besides, this is also suspected of showing off his wealth.
"Juxianglou? Isn't this too expensive?" Liu Zonghan's eyes lit up when he heard Juxianglou, but then he felt like a rich man and felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, they didn't take care of Gu Chengyu on weekdays. Gu Chengyu had a sharp mind and could figure out everything at once. He also knew how to draw inferences from one instance to another, so why did they need to give him advice?
"Yes! This is too expensive. We deserve it, so let's forget it. If you really want to invite me, then just find a restaurant."
Ren Ge also knew that Gu Chengyu's family was well-off, but since Gu Chengyu was young, his family probably wouldn't give him too much monthly money. If one meal ate up his monthly salary for several months, wouldn't that make him suffer for a long time?
But not agreeing would be a disgrace to others, so he made up his mind to let Gu Chengyu spend less money. Since he decided to make good friends, he had to take these things into consideration.
"Don't worry, everyone! It's just rare, but this little money is still worth it. You two are free, what about Mr. Jiang? We should go together too!" Gu Chengyu turned his eyes to Jiang Kenan and asked him.
Jiang Kenan was a little embarrassed. He had said something unpleasant just now, and he didn't know if Gu Chengyu was angry. He glanced at Gu Chengyu and saw that Gu Chengyu only looked at him with a smile, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Gu Chengyu just looked at him without saying anything. He couldn't force others to go, right?
"Hey? Mr. Jiang, it will be more lively if we all go together. Don't refuse, Jin Yu sincerely invites you!" Liu Zonghan is also very fond of the things in the cup. Juxianglou also has two kinds of good drinks that are not available in other restaurants.
He had been craving for wine for a long time. Of course, he would be more interested when more people drank.
Seeing this, Gu Chengyu also gave some advice. Jiang Ken couldn't resist the kindness, so he agreed.
Later, Gu Chengyu said that he would also invite two officials from the Hanlin Academy to join him, but everyone had no objection.
"Xia Aiqing, look what this is?" As soon as the emperor saw Xia Qing, he threw the two booklets in front of Xia Qing and gave him a cold look.
As soon as Xia Qing entered the imperial study, he bowed and the emperor threw two books at him without even calling him.
He was a little confused, why were there two books? Did Zhang Hai also bring the one written by Gu Chengyu? He couldn't help but feel angry. Zhang Hai promised him on the surface, but secretly used such conspiracy?
Xia Qing sullenly picked up the two books that fell on the ground. One of them was very familiar. He knew it was copied from another book without looking at it. The other one was thicker than this one, which made him a little surprised.
, which is different from the previous one.
Opening the thick book and taking a look, he focused his gaze and flipped through it twice, finally knowing the reason for Min Feng's revelation. Unexpectedly, Gu Chengyu had made two preparations. It seemed that this person was very thoughtful and should not be underestimated.
.
It was because he underestimated Gu Chengyu too much, but now that the matter had come to this, he had to find a way to make up for it. Looking at the emperor's attitude at the moment, I'm afraid he couldn't be kinder.
"This? Your Majesty! I have seen this preface before, but I didn't expect there to be more details. So why didn't Gu Xiuzhan take it out earlier? If he had taken it out earlier, the compilation of the ceremony could have started earlier!
Xia Qing asked pretending to be confused.
At the same time, he sneered in his heart. Anyway, he couldn't get rid of it today, so why should he give Gu Chengyu eye drops in front of the emperor? A low-ranking sixth-grade man dared not to take him seriously. He was as impressive as Liang Zhirui.
