Chapter 830: He will definitely not be able to return to the capital
"You Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Isn't this an official position of the fourth rank?" Yao Mengxian frowned. Gu Chengyu was only from the fifth rank before, so why was he suddenly promoted so quickly?
This is not consistent with common sense at all. I'm afraid there is something else they don't know about.
Seeing that her girl didn't show any expression of joy, the smile on Qingdai's face subsided.
Lian Xin looked at the girl's frown and asked quickly: "Master Gu's promotion is such a happy event! What is the girl worried about?"
Yao Mengxian shook her head. Even if she told Lian Xin and the others about this matter, they didn't understand it, and it made them worry for nothing.
"Qing Dai! Go and inquire about the reason for this matter. Lian Xin, give Qing Dai two taels of silver. If you go to inquire about it, you will have to use silver."
Yao Mengxian put down the bandage in her hand and looked at Lian Xin, who was still looking happy.
"Yes!" Although Lian Xin was a little reluctant, she obeyed and took the key, ready to open the box and get the silver.
Yao Mengxian knew that two taels of silver was quite a lot, enough to last Qingdai for a while. But Qingdai's appetite seemed to be bigger now than before, and she felt it was time to beat Qingdai.
She will have her haircut in a few months, and now she can't get out of the house at all. Although she has secretly found someone to find out the news, Qingdai is a child of the same family, so she still has an advantage in trying to find out the information.
So here in Qingdai, she still uses it like this.
"Qingdai, I heard that your mother-in-law went to a bank to deposit two hundred taels of silver?"
Yao Mengxian looked at Qingdai with cold eyes, and Qingdai's originally happy pretty face turned pale.
Their family is all slaves of the Zhenguo government. The total monthly money for a family of four is only two taels of silver. How long do they have to save these two hundred taels of silver?
Besides, in the government, you have to take care of everything every day, so you can't save anything with only 20,000 yuan a month.
"Where did the girl hear this? My mother-in-law only has this little money for a month, but she can't save anything. How can she still have two hundred taels of silver? The girl must have heard wrong."
Qingdai's pale face forced a smile, and her heart suddenly became extremely panicked.
Why did the girl know that her mother went to the bank to deposit money? Who told the girl?
"Really? Maybe I heard it wrong. That's right, that's two hundred taels of silver! Even I only have three hundred taels in this box, and I've saved it for many years!"
Lian Xin handed over two taels of silver at this time, and Yao Mengxian smiled at Qing Dai.
Qingdai suddenly felt that the two taels of silver were extremely hot, and she finally understood what the girl meant.
"Third sister!"
Suddenly, a clear and sweet female voice came from outside the yard.
Yao Mengxian immediately realized that the voice belonged to the fourth girl in the house, Yao Mengdie. Yao Mengdie was so swayed by others, she was always a cold-blooded person. When had that girl been here?
It seems that Gu Chengyu's promotion is absolutely true. Even Yao Mengdie got the news, which shows that the whole capital knows about it.
A bright figure soon arrived in the house, "Third sister, why are you still embroidering a handkerchief? You are so calm! There is news all over the capital today that Mr. Gu has been promoted to the third level in a row and is now at the fourth level.
Where is the official position!"
"I said at the beginning that Mr. Gu has extraordinary abilities, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes a highly respected minister. The third sister is really lucky to be married to Mr. Gu! But she must not know it yet? Mr. Gu was sent to Jiangnan by the emperor.
Went to provide disaster relief.”
Compared with the round face two years ago, Yao Mengdie's face has now lost the baby fat and has become a beautiful oval face.
There was an intriguing smile on her face, and the jealousy in her eyes she thought was well hidden, but in fact it had long been seen by Yao Mengxian opposite her.
"What?" Yao Mengxian stood up in surprise, not even noticing that the bandage fell to the ground.
When Yao Mengdie heard that Gu Chengyu was promoted to the third level in a row, the features on her face were almost distorted. She didn't expect that the third sister's fiancé was not only good-looking, but also a popular person in front of the emperor.
Never in any dynasty or generation has she heard of an official being promoted to three levels in a row. How could such an honor not make her jealous?
When Gu Chengyu is successfully promoted to a third-grade official in the future, won't the third sister have the title of a third-grade lady?
All officials of the third rank and above in this dynasty can be granted the title of second to third generation official. When Gu Chengyu becomes the third rank official, he can not only grant the title to his mother, but also his wife can be made a lady of the third rank.
Yao Mengdie was about to go crazy with jealousy, but then news came that Gu Chengyu had gone to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief.
Who doesn't know that there is a flood in Jiangnan? If you go here, you won't be able to come back.
Yao Mengdie's heart instantly became balanced. This blessing of being promoted to the third level in a row must be enjoyed with life, right?
Late at night, crickets in the grass sang happily, making the originally quiet night become noisy.
In the inner study of Xia Mansion, the candlelight was weak, the two figures on the window looked a little blurry, and whispers came from time to time in the room.
"Gu Chengyu has already left for Jiangnan. I am afraid that he will find out something. This man is quite capable, and I am afraid that he will do something bad!"
An old voice sounded in the study room, his words full of gloom.
"He's just a guy with no hair on his head. Are you still afraid of him, your majesty?"
Another hoarse voice sounded next, but this person's accent was a bit weird and his pronunciation was not very clear.
Hearing the sarcasm in the words of the person opposite, the voice from before became a little unhappy.
"My master has sent you here to assist me in my work. What is your attitude? Gu Chengyu is a person who should not be underestimated. If you don't take him seriously, you will definitely suffer big losses in the future."
"Okay! Since you are so afraid of him, then I will get rid of him so that he will not be able to return to the capital!"
"Very good! If this person is not dealt with, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"
The next day, three horses galloped along the official road. Wherever the horses' hooves stepped, heavy dust rose from the ground.
"Sir! There is a teahouse ahead. Let's take a rest!" Ming Mo looked at the scorching sun above her head and felt that her eyes were blurry. She was really tired.
They set out since noon yesterday and have been on the road until now without closing their eyes all night.
I only ate two pancakes this morning. It's already noon, and I'm already so hungry that my chest is touching my back.
Gu Chengyu shook the water bag hanging on the saddle and found that there was no water in the water bag. With Mingmo and the others around, he couldn't pour water out of the space.
"That's fine! We're too tired from traveling all night. We need to take a rest and recuperate."
The three of them rode their horses and rushed to the teahouse. Upon seeing this, the two men in the teahouse rushed towards them with smiles on their faces.
"You three guests, please come to the shop and have a rest!" He smiled brightly, stepped forward and took Gu Chengyu's reins, and quickly tied the horse to a tree trunk nearby.
