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

Chapter 411 The teacher wants to go back to the capital
Just two days later, Mingyan said that all the hidden guards around Zhuangzi had withdrawn, and Gu Chengyu was planning to return home.

There will be an examination in March, and the time between the palace examination and the general examination is very close. Even if Gu Chengyu memorizes the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, he dare not take it seriously.

Hui'an disappeared on Gu Chengyu's way back home.Gu Chengyu knew that someone had picked him up, so he didn't care.As for the pamphlet, he couldn't conclude that it was fake, Hu Maoqing would check it himself.

As soon as he arrived at the house, he heard the porter say that there was a letter from him.

Gu Chengyu went back to the study and opened it. It turned out that the teacher said that when the weather gets warmer in March, he will come to the capital to reunite with them.

He also said that he wanted to go back to the capital to live for a while, so he might not go to the government school this year.

Gu Chengyu is of course happy that the teacher is going back to the capital.The teacher didn't have anyone to inherit the incense, so staying in Fucheng felt a little lonely.Although she is accompanied by her granddaughter, she is a member of the Duke's Mansion after all, so she can't stay at her grandfather's house for a few years without going back, right?

The teacher mentioned in the letter that the Duke's Mansion had sent people to pick him up twice, but the teacher refused both times, saying that he would personally bring his granddaughter back to Beijing this year.

It doesn't matter whether the Duke's Mansion is out of face, or it really feels that it is inappropriate to throw Yao's daughter in the ancestral home.Anyway, Yao Mengxian returned to the Duke's Mansion, the teacher must be worried.

Miss Yao is already thirteen this year, and it's time to start talking about kissing.The teacher mentioned in the letter that he was afraid that people from the Duke's mansion would marry his granddaughter indiscriminately.

After receiving the teacher's letter, he couldn't help but think of his parents.In the first half of the month, he asked his servants to buy New Year's goods and sent them to Shangling Village.His parents still refused to come to the capital, they only said they wanted to watch the second brother at home.

When he returned to Beijing two years ago, his second sister-in-law, He Shi, had been divorced, and Erlang hated him for this.She thought it was Gu Chengyu's fault that his mother was divorced, and wanted Gu Chengyu to compensate him and bring him to the capital to study.For this reason, she kept pestering Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu ignored it directly, and went to his second brother to warn him.If Erlang is still obsessed with his obsession, then don't blame him for being cruel.How to ruin a scholar?There are many ways, gambling houses, brothels, with Erlang's weak will, how can he resist those temptations?

I don't know what his second brother told Erlang, but Erlang stopped after that.

Mrs. He was dismissed and returned to her mother's house, and she went to Gu's house every day to cry.Her good second brother really refused to return the loaned money, and he didn't admit it at all.When Mrs. He returned to her natal family, life was very difficult.

Naturally, her elder brother and sister-in-law couldn't tolerate her, so she was finally taken back to the rented yard in the town by San Lang.

In fact, Gu Chengyu didn't understand He's. Her natal brother and sister-in-law were only close to her because of her money, and they didn't treat her well before.But why is He's living a good life, insisting on posting it to her natal family?It's really puzzling.

At today's stage, that's what she did on her own, and she doesn't deserve sympathy.

It is worth mentioning that Wang Yueniang has some tricks.During the period when Gu Chengyi was recuperating from his injuries, he simply couldn't fight back when he was scolded or beaten.In the end, Father Gu proposed again that Gu Chengyi should accept her as a concubine, but Gu Chengyi did not strongly object, and directly acquiesced to the matter.

Wang Yueniang's son was brought to live in Gu's family by her, but he still followed the Yang family's surname and did not change it to Gu's.Because Mr. Gu and the Gu family disagreed with his son changing his surname to Gu.

After all, Wang Yueniang's method of entering Gu's family was disgraceful, and it was mostly for the sake of the baby in her stomach that she was able to accept her.

Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and wrote a letter to his family and teachers.I wanted to talk to the teacher about An'an, but I still didn't write.It's not clear on the letter, and besides, the teacher will come to the capital soon, let's talk about it when he comes to the capital!
Gu Chengyu tidied up and was going to pay a visit to the homes of several senior brothers.

Although New Year's gifts were given before, but today is the ninth day of the lunar new year, I think there should be fewer visitors to the senior brothers' house.

The prefect Jiang's performance appraisal at the end of last year was indeed excellent, and he came to the capital to report on his work before the end of the year, preparing to wait for this year's official transfer order.

The Jiang family bought a house in the capital, which is naturally in the north. Jiang Zhifu was originally a fourth rank, but now he is promoted at least from the third rank, so he must live in the north.

The second senior brother Wu An also returned to Beijing, and is also waiting for the transfer order from above.

Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo and the others to clean up, and was going to go to the elder brother's house first today.

"You haven't been here for a few days. Are you comfortable living in Zhuangzi? I'm going to try it out soon, so I need to put more thought into the books, so that I won't regret it when I use them."

Yin Kun set up the chessboard, ready to play a few games with Gu Chengyu.

"Brother, haven't you heard of combining work and rest? You need to relax after reading all day!" Gu Chengyu sat on the side of the short table obediently, waiting for Yin Kun to hand him the chess pieces.

"You always have these fallacies. If you fail the ranking, the people in the capital will laugh out loud!" Yin Kun couldn't stop the smile on his face. The two are now very familiar and often joke.

However, there was a bit of sincerity in that joke, what he said was from the bottom of his heart.Gu Chengyu has no way out now, he must be admitted to Jinshi, otherwise his reputation will be hindered.

Gu Chengyu said solemnly: "It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen! I'll do my best, brother, do you want white or black?"

"You were all white for the last few times, change to me this time! I have lost several times, so I won't be polite to you this time."

It turned out that Gu Chengyu didn't spend much energy on chess skills. He played against Yin Kun for the first time, and was killed without leaving a single piece.After two years of tempering, the current Gu Chengyu has far surpassed him.

"That's why senior brother let me go!" Gu Chengyu laughed, and took Heizi over.

While the two were playing chess, Gu Chengyu remembered what happened in the eldest prince's other courtyard.

The fact that he met the eldest prince in Zhuangzi, he couldn't hide it from others, and there was no need to hide it.Yin Kun will know sooner or later, so he might as well say it earlier.As for Hoi An, of course it cannot be mentioned.

Gu Chengyu ate Yin Kun a few times, and said calmly: "This time at Zhuangzi, I met the eldest prince."

Yin Kun's original attention on the chessboard was instantly drawn away by Gu Chengyu's words.

He suddenly looked at Gu Chengyu, scanned his face, and was relieved to see that Gu Chengyu's face was very calm and nothing unusual.

"How did you meet the First Prince?" He was extremely puzzled. He had heard that the First Prince was going back to Beijing two days ago, so he should be in the capital.

Gu Chengyu told Yin Kun what had happened, and concealed the matter of Jiang An, only saying that the eldest prince went to his village to search for assassins.

After hearing this, Yin Kun quickly scanned Gu Chengyu around.The eldest prince has a somewhat surly temper, and he usually doesn't pretend to be polite to people.Taking care of Chengyu said this, but he was very tolerant of him, which is not like the style of the eldest prince.
