By the time Ming Mo came back, Gu Chengyu had already finished writing the matters that needed to be supplemented for the tea tax.
"Sir! The person has been sent back."
"Well! Has his classmate solved the problem?" Gu Chengyuhai felt a little worried, so he asked again.
"Come back to me, sir! We have given him some money to rest for a few days because of his illness."
Gu Chengyu put down the brush and touched his neck, planning to wait until tomorrow to write.
"I can rest assured about your work. Have the people who went to Yingnan Mansion been withdrawn? Call a few others and give them a good life."
After Ming Mo left, Gu Chengyu thought about it, who could be behind those people? Is it the princes or Xia Qing?
There are so many officials in the imperial court, could he be one of them?
That day at Tianxiang Pavilion, someone paid him money. Was it the master behind Tianxiang Pavilion? Or was it Lu Chen?
When Gu Chengyu thought about it, he felt that anyone was possible, but no one was like him. He suddenly thought that Lu Chen had a close relationship with Prince Jing, and that Prince Jing was not as reclusive as he seemed.
In addition, when I went to Prince Jing's Mansion that time, Prince Jing used a honey trap, I felt that the possibility of that person being Prince Jing was quite high.
Gu Chengyu shook his head. Guesses were just guesses after all, and he couldn't make a conclusion yet. Anyway, that person wouldn't be able to threaten him for a while.
The next day, Gu Chengyu sent a carriage early to pick up Ye Zhiqiu. Although Zhang Hai knew that he would return to his hometown in two days, he did not send him any work.
However, it was better to finish the deal earlier. Before leaving, he always went to each house to tell them. He also made an appointment with Zhu Pang and Zheng Lun to get together.
He entered the Imperial Academy and was busy every day. Zhu Pang was going to the Imperial Academy and only came to the residence once during this period.
As for Zheng Lun, he also passed the Shujishi exam. Because of his background in the Imperial Palace, he did well in the Hanlin Academy.
It's just that Gu Chengyu and Zheng Lun don't work in the same place, so they often don't meet each other.
"Jin Yu! Why don't you bring my tribe here when you return to your hometown this time? I have already sent a letter to the tribe, asking them to pick someone smart to run errands for me. I can still trust your vision.
, the clansmen have to bother you to take a look before they choose someone."
In fact, what Ye Zhiqiu meant was to ask Gu Chengyu to check for him, and not to force someone who didn't understand him.
If the clan leader has some selfish motives and has given money to his own children or people from other families, but his character is not up to standard and he refuses to obey orders, then wouldn't Ye Zhiqiu invite an uncle back?
Although Ye Zhiqiu is an official and his clansmen generally do not dare to offend him, there is no guarantee that there will be idiots who will not obey orders.
Gu Chengyu nodded, "If you ask me, you are missing more than one person, why not pick two older ones to stay with you to run errands, and keep the younger one with you. This will solve the family's difficulties.
You yourself also benefited."
Gu Chengyu said this because Ye Zhiqiu had already become an official and had only one attendant, which was definitely not enough.
If there are more people to add in the future, wouldn't it be better to solve it all at once?
Ye Zhiqiu gave a bitter smile after hearing this, "It's not like you don't know that there aren't many rooms in my yard. If there are more people, how can we accommodate them?"
Gu Chengyu frowned after hearing this, "Then rent a bigger yard first. Aren't you going to do the food business? If your eldest sister and brother-in-law come, where will you let them live? Do you want to rent another yard?"
When Ye Zhiqiu heard it, it did make sense, but there was still some hesitation on his face.
As soon as Gu Chengyu saw it, he knew that he was worried about money.
"If you don't have money to spare, don't be polite to me. In the future, if you make money by cooking, you can pay me back."
Knowing that Ye Zhiqiu was embarrassed to speak, Gu Chengyu was the first to speak.
He helps Ye Zhiqiu because of Ye Zhiqiu's good nature. The two have known each other for many years. It would be unreasonable for him to not help his friend even though he has the ability.
Besides, if you have no money, you will inevitably be short-sighted in the future. If you do anything to accept bribes and are caught by officials or opponents, you will also be implicated.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, he has to help.
"Then I won't be polite to you. I will pay you back when I have money." Ye Zhiqiu became more relaxed than before when he planned to make a living by eating.
Maybe it was because he had no money-making business, and Ye Zhiqiu was afraid that he owed Gu Chengyu too much and would not be able to pay it back in the future, so he was always reluctant to accept Gu Chengyu's kindness before.
Now, regardless of whether he makes money from eating, he has hope.
"Have you written to your eldest sister? If you have already written, I will bring your eldest sister and the others to save you from having to wait for family leave before going back."
Gu Chengyu thought that when he went back this time, there were still many people returning to the capital, so it was just a way to bring two more people with him.
Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but look happy after hearing this.
In fact, he originally wanted to trouble Gu Chengyu, but Gu Chengyu brought more people and things back to Beijing this time, and was a little embarrassed to speak. After all, there were already more clan members, and bringing two more people with him would cause a lot of trouble on the way.
The two of them talked about Gu Chengyu's plans after returning, and the carriage had already arrived at the palace gate.
As soon as Gu Chengyu stepped into the house, Liu Zonghan came up with a smile on his face and said to Gu Chengyu: "Master Gu, Master Zhang sent someone to invite you over early in the morning. Needless to say, it must be a happy event."
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised when he heard this. Has the appointment document been handed down?
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for informing me. I will go to Mr. Zhang right now!" Gu Chengyu glanced at the other two desks in the room and saw that Ren Ge, who always arrived first, did not arrive today. He usually arrived last.
Liu Zonghan arrived so early today.
After Gu Chengyu thanked Liu Zonghan, he went to Zhang Hai's place.
"Your Majesty Gu Chengyu has met Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Hai looked at Gu Chengyu and said, "No need to be polite."
He didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would be promoted so quickly. Yesterday, he heard about the tea tax and salt quotation. He was a little lucky that he had not completely turned against Gu Chengyu before.
Gu Chengyu was not capable. The emperor valued him very much. It was said that within a few years, his rank would be higher than his.
"I have already drafted the documents for your promotion to the Imperial Academy. Once confirmed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, you will be promoted to the position of Attendant."
After Zhang Hai finished speaking, he glanced at Gu Chengyu again. Seeing that Gu Chengyu was still calm, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
He was promoted in just over a month, yet he could still be so calm. Sometimes he felt that Gu Chengyu was too young and mature, lacking some of the vitality that young people should have.
"Thank you, sir!" Drafting imperial edicts is usually a matter for the Hanlin Academy. After the officials are confirmed and stamped, Gu Chengyu can take office after receiving the imperial edict.
Ahem! In fact, it’s just a matter of changing the house to work!
