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

Chapter 276
Ming Mo looked at Ming Yan with a stern face, "I don't know where you have learned your rules! Why didn't you report when you entered the study? We have learned these rules before. If there are guests, the distinguished guests will see Our servants are so unruly, isn't it embarrassing for the young master? There is also the young master's decision, why should you question it?"

Ming Mo is Gu Chengyu's first-class servant. On weekdays, the internal and external study is managed by Ming Mo. The external steward can't control the study, so Ming Mo's status is equal to that of the external steward.

Ming Yan also knew that he had done something wrong just now, so he didn't speak at the moment, and lowered his head as if reflecting.

"Mingyan, the Gu family is different now. The Gu family is no longer the farmer it used to be. If the young master can win the promotion this time, then the Jinshi in three years' time will not dare to think about it. Our Gu family will become an official family in one fell swoop. You like this If you don't change your temperament, I don't know if you can still stay with the young master! Don't think that the young master can't do without us, and there are plenty of followers who want to replace us!"

Ming Yan is a little bit convinced now, he was a little bit unconvinced before.His qualifications are the same as Ming Mo's, but the young master has named Ming Mo as the first class. He has not been convinced in his heart. He thinks that Ming Mo is not as smart as him, but tell him what happened today, Ming Mo knows everything. , maybe what the young master needs is such a stable person to be in charge.

At this moment, he finally understood the young master's intentions. After Ming Mo pointed it out, he realized that he has been too frivolous recently!

He took a deep breath, and bowed to Ming Mo, "Thank you for waking me up, otherwise I made a fatal mistake and didn't know it. Maybe it's because of this, you didn't mention me!"

"We have grown up together since we were young. Of course, I hope that you will be the one who can stand behind the young master. However, don't think too much, remember! The Gu family is not what it used to be!" Ming This is Mo's last advice to him. From then on, he will not talk too much, it depends on whether Mingyan can come to his senses this time.

Ming Mo looked at the back of Ming Yan walking away, and sighed in his heart, I hope he really understands!After all, they are not the only two who can be called Ming Mo and Ming Yan, and these two titles can be changed at any time.

Ming Mo then walked towards the courtyard in front, Mr. Sun and Mr. Ye also lived in the house last night, and he will go back with them today.He had to go to greet them and remind the two of them that they should be able to leave.

Gu Chengyu went to the room, and it seemed that the luggage was almost packed, but in fact, some of the things he was used to were backed up in the space, so he never had a lot of luggage when he went out.

"My lord!" Ming Yan stood outside the door of the East Wing and shouted at Gu Chengyu.

"Mr. Sun and Mr. Ye are packed? If it's ready, let's go!" Gu Chengyu looked almost there, and Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu didn't have much luggage, so they should be almost there.

By the time Gu Chengyu returned to Shangling Village, he had already missed the lunch time.When the carriage drove into Shangling Village, Gu Chengyu raised the curtain of the carriage and looked at the Gu family's courtyard which was close at hand, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The Huang family from the Zhang family next door just opened the door and was about to go out to jump through the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the Gu family's carriage passing by her door.

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she knew without looking that this was the scholar of the Gu family who had returned. Don't all the carriages that come and go in this village all day come to the Gu family?The Gu family really woke up.Huang looked at the carriage entering the gate of Gu's courtyard, and sighed enviously.

"Old man, Xiaobao wrote a letter earlier, didn't he say to return today? I counted the time, it should be here now! Why haven't you come back?" Mrs. Lu waved her hand and asked Mrs. Li, who was cooking, to go down. Xiaobao didn't come back, why is she in the mood to eat?
"How can there be a guarantee for this carriage? Maybe it's delayed on the road, I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look!" Gu Lao said this, but he was actually a little anxious.

"Father! I'll go with you!" Gu Wan got off the kang, put on her shoes, and prepared to go to the entrance of the village together.

"Let your father go, you are already a big girl, why are you still running around outside?" Of course, Mrs. Lu would not let Gu Wan go out, now that Gu Wan is almost fifteen, and in two months' time she will be old , she dared not let her daughter go out.

"Huh? It's a carriage, isn't this here?" Gu Wan was about to refute, but when she looked up, she happened to look through the window and found that the carriage had already entered.

Mrs. Lu also took a quick look, "It's true!"

"Hurry up, tell Granny Li to bring some water and wash Xiaobao, and then the dishes will be served. After so long, the dishes are going to be cold." Shi Lu hurriedly ordered Gu Wan to go to the kitchen to spread the word, maybe Xiaobao will arrive I haven't eaten yet!
"Father! Mother! I'm back." Gu Chengyu jumped off the carriage, and as soon as he entered the main room, he was pulled by Mrs. Lu to ask for warmth.

"Why did you come back so late? Are you tired?" Lu's hand patted Gu Chengyu's body, seeing that his son was still in good spirits, he relaxed.

Papa Gu watched from the sidelines, feeling his teeth hurt, how old is Xiao Bao?Is my baby getting too used to it?
"Mother! Dinner is set!" Gu Wan shouted outside the house.

"You haven't eaten yet? Why don't you eat first?" Gu Chengyu thought that Mrs. Lu must be waiting for him!I felt a little sorry, because he was a little late in painting in the morning.

"Isn't that waiting for you? You said you came back for lunch." This has always been Gu Chengyu's habit, every time he comes back, he has to eat lunch at home.

Several people sat down around the table, "Second Sister! Is your embroidery workshop still in business?" Gu Chengyu bought a shop for Gu Wan in Fucheng. Plus Chunhua is learning embroidery.Later, Gu Chengyu thought that Ye Zhiqiu's sister and mother could do embroidery, so Gu Wan hired three of them as the embroiderers of the embroidery shop. Ye's mother's work can be taken back to do. Their skills are not bad, so the wages are higher. .

At the beginning, the business was a bit deserted, Gu Wan looked anxious, but later it was Gu Chengyu who came up with the idea, drew some unique patterns, and invented several kinds of buckles and ties, and then brought the business up, now Gu Chengyu Shixiufang is also well-known in the town.

Gu Wan also thought about several kinds of buckles at home, but fortunately there is a small pier in the town, and there are some merchants who come and go, and those merchants who are discerning will bring some back to sell, and the response is not bad.

"It's okay! But we need to renew the patterns frequently, otherwise the merchants will complain that someone has copied our products." Although the annual income of the embroidery workshop is less than the profit of the soap, it is all earned by herself Silver, she holds peace of mind.

"Shanhe Town is still a little smaller. If we go to Fucheng, the business will be different." It's a pity that Gu Wan is from a girl's family, so it is not suitable for development in Fucheng. These are nothing to worry about, anyway, it's impossible for Gu Wan to show her face, as there are shopkeepers in the shop.

"This time I'm going to the capital, when will I leave?" Father Gu calculated the distance to the capital, and felt that he had to leave a month in advance.

　Still ten thousand changes today!
