The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1326 Wisdom
When Yao Mengxian heard the flowers sent by Gu's mansion, she was also stunned. She didn't expect Gu Chengyu to rescue her.Originally, she thought that Gu Chengyu would disdain to participate in the affairs of the inner house.Besides, she knew how this marriage came about.

However, Gu Chengyu's move still warmed her heart.

"Okay, I haven't been feeling well for the past two days, and I'm a little tired right now. You little girls, you'd better go play somewhere else! How can you be comfortable with my mother-in-law? Sister Xian, you are the eldest daughter , I should treat the distinguished guests well!" The old lady stroked her forehead and began to order to evict the guests.

"Grandmother feels unwell? Let's invite a doctor to take a look!" Yao Mengxian took a step forward and held the old lady's arm.

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired. Good boy, take your sisters out to play!" The old lady patted the back of Yao Mengxian's hand, her face was a little warmer than before.

"Then grandma, rest more, don't worry about it!"

After Yao Mengxian and the others left the house, Qin's mother stepped forward to press the old lady's temples.

"For so many years, only your pinching strength has won my heart." The old lady sighed, and the vertical lines between her eyebrows stretched.

"Your servant has practiced for many years. If you can't do this well, you won't keep your servant by your side." Mother Qin's tone was full of pride, making the old lady laugh.

"If you say you are fat, you are still panting." The old lady cursed with a smile.

"What do you think of today's matter? The third girl has improved a lot compared to before. Sure enough, a woman still has to marry a good husband! Gu Chengyu is now a third-rank official, and she is also proud. A wife is more expensive than a husband, and she has confidence. That's enough."

The old lady closed her eyes tightly and suddenly mentioned Yao Mengxian.

"My servant thinks that Mr. Gu's success in his official career is a good thing for our family! The two families are in-laws, and it would be great to support each other in the future. In fact, the third girl is still a bit staunch, but a few years ago the government There is no one to back it up, so naturally it doesn’t show up.”

Qin's mother has always been straightforward when speaking to the old lady. She followed the old lady to marry into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and she asked her to comb her hair. She has no intention of marrying in this life.

The love between the two is naturally not comparable to others, so the old lady often asks Qin's mother for her opinion.

"Of course I understand, it's just that the family has neglected her before, if she remembers it in her heart." The old lady's hoarse and old voice sounded in the room, with a hint of worry and coldness in her tone.

"Old lady, after this girl gets married, if she doesn't have the support of her natal family, she will be bullied by her husband's family. Besides, no matter what the third girl's attitude towards the mansion is, it can't erase that she is the head of the town government. The fact of the first daughter. The third girl is actually a transparent person, she knows what to do."

The old lady sat up straight suddenly, and turned her head to take a deep look at Qin's mother.

"It seems that you appreciate Sanya quite a lot! You have said good things for her today."

Qin's mother was shocked. She suppressed the panic in her heart and said with a smile on her face: "Isn't this the old lady, you want to praise the third girl? The servant is just following your words! After all, Mr. Gu is different now, you The attitude towards the third girl still needs to be changed, right? It’s not too late to make amends now, if the third girl is transparent, naturally she won’t make things difficult for the family.”

The old lady stared at Qin's mother's eyes and closed her eyes slightly again, "You will try to figure out my thoughts, you are right, today is different from the past."

The next day the snow stopped, but the wind was still biting cold.

Gu Chengyu stepped on the cleaned bluestone slabs and walked towards the corridor.Before reaching the corridor, he saw a small figure sitting in the corridor from a distance.

The eldest prince heard footsteps coming towards him, the sound got closer and closer, and stopped when it reached him.

"Meet the First Prince!"

"Are you slacking off again today?" The eldest prince's immature voice sounded, and he even moved to the inside specially.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback for a moment, does this mean he is a servant in the palace?This kid is also very interesting, why don't you even ask who he is?
"Yeah! Steal half a day's leisure!" Gu Chengyu joked, and after saying that, he still sat beside the First Prince.

The eldest prince tilted his head slightly, "Have you ever read a book?"

"Yes! A few days ago, I got a book of unofficial history. The stories in it are very interesting, do you want to listen to it?" Gu Chengyu smiled and looked at the eldest prince. Today, the child finally did not lose his temper and wrapped himself up tightly.

"Okay! Anyway, I'm bored."

Pang Chu couldn't help smiling knowingly when he saw the two getting along well.The eldest prince's temper these days is very irritable, and the servants who serve him are even more cautious, lest he be offended.

Unexpectedly, the First Prince and Master Gu could get along so well, the Emperor should be relieved now.Thinking of the emperor, Pang Chu sighed deeply, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

The emperor was burying his head in the memorial, when he suddenly felt heavy in his chest.He stroked his chest, his right hand holding the vermilion pen trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Quanzi immediately sensed something was wrong and asked anxiously.

"Quickly pass it on, envoy Zhang Yuan is here!"

Beads of sweat dripped down the emperor's pale face in such a short while, dripping down his forehead, and he only felt that his eyes were dark.Then bursts of dizziness came in his head, and he finally couldn't stand it, and passed out.

"The emperor?" Xiao Quanzi was stunned to see the emperor lying in his arms, and just as he screamed out, Pang Chu appeared in the imperial study.

"Quick, hurry up and invite the envoy Zhang."

"You said that the scenery described in this book is the scenery of the frontier pass. It sounds different from our capital city. According to your description, isn't the pass over there very difficult?"

The eldest prince asked with a serious face, frowning.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback when he heard the words, the eldest prince was not moved by his interesting story, but noticed the people's livelihood at the border.

"Yes, the border is bitterly cold. The climate there is cold, and the land is not suitable for growing crops. Therefore, every winter, they have to rely on the grain stored before to survive the winter. But how much grain can be grown on such barren land? Being full, not wearing warm clothes, even being starved to death or freezing to death is the normal state of the border people. However, there are also a lot of special products in the border, and they can still be exchanged for some money.”

Gu Chengyu couldn't hold back, and touched the eldest prince's cute little head, this child is quite smart.

"Is it the same for the people of Daxing? Are they living such a poor life?"

"Yes! So every winter, they will harass the border, burn, kill and loot to get what they want. They go to war with us, this is the incentive. Of course, their ambition is indeed not small, for our big With a vast and fertile land, Daxing is willing to fight year after year."
