Chapter 1152 Rejection

The third son of the Cao family was very depressed and wanted to stop his daughter-in-law, but he didn't dare to stop when he thought of his daughter who hadn't married yet.

The reputation of this family is not good, and it will cause the children to talk about marriage. It is better for the daughter-in-law to take the daughter back to her mother's house to avoid it.

After the daughters-in-law of the Cao family left, the third son of the Cao family took care of Cao Juren while saving the family that had nothing left.

However, the gossip ability of the people in Linhe Mansion is unmatched, even better than that of the people in He'an Mansion. No matter what your Cao family says, the bad gossip about Cao Ju is more outrageous than the other. .

When Cao's family was suffering from rumors in the city, Zhifu Shi and the others finally caught the people involved in the case of Tong's family.

Among them, 900 bodyguards were arrested, and [-] guards hidden in the Tongjiazhuangzi, plus the nursing yard on the Tongjia Mansion, nearly [-] people were arrested, and Shi Zhifu was almost scared. die.

There are too many people, comparable to a thousand households.

General Zhang was also taken aback, thanks to the large number of soldiers guarding the army camp in Fucheng, and the city gates were closed to arrest people, and those bodyguards were restrained by their families and did not dare to resist desperately, otherwise there would have to be a bloody battle in the city .

Prefect Shi and General Zhang had been busy for ten days before they were almost busy with the Tong family's affairs. The city gate opened again, and those who were trapped in the city left the city one after another.

Many candidates who failed the exam and had financial difficulties left the city on the first day the city gate reopened.

Gu Jin'an and the others who passed the exam did not leave, but received an invitation to go to the prefect's mansion the day after tomorrow to have a banquet to thank Kong Xuezheng.

This is a rule, and it is also a great joy for the scholars. They can get a lot of contacts through this banquet, so every academy has to hold a banquet after the test release.

When Qu Wenliang and Lu Bai saw that Gu Jinan and the others had received the invitation, they were so sad that they cried again, and said, "I'm sorry, my ancestors."

Lu Bai shouted that he was sorry for his family, but when he was crying hard, he was beaten again by Yao Youqian: "You are crying, why don't you hurry up and write a storybook to make money when you have this time? The Tong family and the Cao family Things, you know a lot of details, quickly write it and send it back to He'an Mansion, you will definitely make a fortune."

Lu Bai was very aggrieved, and cried: "What are you hitting? I wrote it long ago and asked the people from the chariot and horse shop to send it to Mr. Ke in He'an Mansion."

He cried after earning the money, right?

Yao Youqian choked, and said: "Even if this is the case, you can't cry, you are already weak, if you cry again, you will look like a fairy."

Lu Bai's face was dark, and he pointed at Yao Youqian and cursed: "You reckless man, who do you think is like a fairy?"

Although she was angry, she didn't dare to cry anymore.

Yao Youqian's ears were quiet, and he ignored him, and ran to help Gu Jinan choose the robes for the banquet.

Qu Wenliang is a lucky man. Qu Xiucai was always with him on the way of the scientific examination. Even if he cried, he would not be scolded. The uncle Qu Xiucai used great patience to comfort him: "I also took the examination four times back then. I passed the exam, but when I failed the exam for the third time, I was really desperate. I smashed my pen and inkstone, and swore that I would not pass the exam. In the end, I was beaten up by your father, so I went to take the exam for the fourth time. It hit the mark."

But Qu Wenliang said: "Uncle, is it because my nephew's knowledge is poor? How come Brother Xing can pass the exam, but I can't."

When asked this question, Qu Xiucai choked a little, and also asked in his heart, yes, why did Gu Dexing pass the exam?

But he thought for a while and said: "It's his fate. He met Mr. Ouyang. When he goes back this time, uncle will beg you, Uncle Shang, to let him say a few words in front of Mr. Ouyang and let you follow Ouyang." Sir, if you study for a while, you will definitely be able to pass the exam."

Qu Xiucai is a very well-behaved person, and he knows that he should not rely on his friendship with Shang Xiucai to ask him for such a thing, but now for Qu Wenliang, he also plans to put aside his old face and embarrass his old friend.

After hearing this, Qu Wenliang was very moved, and immediately bowed to Qu Xiucai: "Thank you uncle, for letting uncle worry."

Qu Xiucai waved his hand, looking at this nephew who was carved out of the same mold as his elder brother, he could only accept his fate.Forget it, let's pay back the kindness that elder brother supported him back then.

……

On the evening of the third day, Gu Jinan and the others went to the magistrate's mansion in a mule cart.

In the front yard of the magistrate's mansion, there was a large garden where the banquet was placed.

By the time Gu Jinan and the others arrived, many people had already arrived in the garden. In addition to the current scholars, there were also prominent families in the prefecture, children of officials, and wealthy families.

But this time at the banquet, everyone was very polite to Gu Jin'an, and he didn't need to take the initiative to say hello, but he gathered around to greet him as soon as he came.

Cui Yiwen, the chief case officer of Hushan Mansion, passed the No. 4 exam in this subject. He came from a family. He heard that after Gu Jinan was admitted to the top case case, he used to disdain him, but now he took the initiative to come over and said with a smile: "Brother Gu, a certain I have often heard that Brother Gu is a talented person, and today I finally got to meet him. Brother Gu is indeed as rumored, with an extraordinary bearing."

Gu Jin'an smiled, and flattered her as soon as she came up, either begging for something or harming someone.

He kept his composure and replied with a smile: "Brother Cui is overrated. I have read Brother Cui's Fu on Double Ninth Festival, and I really admire it. It is indeed a great article in the world."

After hearing this, Cui Yiwen felt that his face was bright, and he said with a smile: "Don't dare, it's just an article about honoring the grandfather at home. How can it be worthy of everyone's praise?"

After finishing speaking, he paused, thinking of the relationship between Gu Jinan's family and Mr. Gu, took a look at Gu Jinan, and said, "Brother Gu, don't worry, I have no other intentions."

Gu Jin'an smiled openly: "It's okay, brother Cui's Chongyang Fu is indeed a good essay. Since it is a good essay, it should be praised."

After hearing this, Cui Yiwen felt a little admiration for Gu Jinan's bright and generous expression. Although the background of this fleeing famine was not good, his bearing was indeed extraordinary, so he shouldn't look down on him.

Cui Yiwen put away his contempt, and introduced to Gu Jinan the scholars he knew. After chatting with the big guys, Cui Yiwen finally couldn't help it, and asked Gu Jinan quietly: "Brother Gu, I heard that Mr. Ouyang lives in seclusion in Jianghuai, Gu Jinan. Brother should know where Mr. Ouyang lives? Can you tell me."

He added: "I admire Mr. Ouyang very much, and my life's great wish is to see Mr. Ouyang's true face. I also ask Brother Gu to introduce him."

After hearing this, Gu Jin'an simply refused: "Brother Cui, my family does know Mr. Ouyang, so I can ask you about it, but it's impossible to tell you where Mr. Ouyang lives. Mr. Ouyang told us not to leave him alone." We dare not disobey the whereabouts of the public, and please brother Cui Haihan."

After Cui Yiwen heard this, he was unhappy, his expression had changed, but Gu Jinan looked at him confidently, and cupped his hands towards him.

After Cui Yiwen got angry, he sighed: "It's rude of a certain person to embarrass brother Gu, and please help Mr. Gu to inform Mr. Ouyang of his request and the good news of his brother, thank you."

With that said, she stood up and saluted Gu Jinan, thanking him solemnly.
