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

Chapter 462

"I don't know, my son went to pay a visit to his house, but his father wouldn't let me see him!"

Gu Chengyu nodded knowingly, it seemed that he would not be able to meet Zheng Lun before taking part in the palace examination.

Zhu Pang suddenly thought of something, "That's right! I heard from my father that the rankings of this test will be readjusted. During the inspection process in Dali Temple, some candidates were found to have misbehavior. I think they will play to invite the Holy One." , to draw up a new list."

Gu Chengyu was originally No.1 in the test, but he was afraid that someone would take advantage of this opportunity and pull Gu Chengyu down.Although Zhu Pang didn't like to ask about these things, he had been influenced by his ears and eyes since he was a child, and he still understood the situation in the court.

In recent years, officials from the North, Central, and South factions have disliked each other. There are many aristocratic families in the capital, but there are also many Qingliu aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River.The first assistant, Xia Qing, was originally from Jiangnan. In the past two years, the officials in Zhongnan have gradually climbed to high positions, and many Jiangnan officials have been transferred to the capital and become officials in the capital.

Gu Chengyu is from the North, and he has taken the first place in the test. He is afraid that someone is gearing up to pull Gu Chengyu down, and pull the No. 2 named Min Feng up.

"I know, when I went to visit the elder brother today, he already told me that he would find a way for me."

Gu Chengyu thought of those top [-] people who had no foundation, maybe they would be pulled down, their rankings would be replaced by others, and they would miss the imperial examination in the future.

"It's good that you know it well. That No.2 is Min Feng, who seems to be a Jiangnan candidate, and has joined Xia Shoufu's school. You have to be careful, if you don't know if you will be a member of the Huiyuan, you will have to change someone."

Zhu Pang was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be relieved too early, so he quickly reminded him.

Gu Chengyu felt that what Zhu Pang said was very reasonable at the moment, and Min Feng had been fighting with him secretly, and regarded him as the number one opponent.And he always pushed Min Feng down, maybe Xia Qing would pull him down and replace him with Min Feng.

After all, without him, Min Feng is more confident of winning the title of No. [-] scholar.It can be seen that Xia Qing attaches great importance to Min Feng, and even asked Huang Junheng to take him with him to build momentum for him.

"If you want to plot against me, you also have to see if I agree or not."

Gu Chengyu sneered, everyone has shortcomings.How do you say that?He was willing to cut himself to pieces, and dared to pull the emperor off his horse.

And Xia Qing is so rampant, isn't it because what he does is within the range that the emperor can bear?At the moment, it seems that the scenery is unparalleled, but when the emperor does not need him, these will become his fatal incentives.

Zhu Pang didn't know why, but he believed that Gu Chengyu had such confidence.Gu Chengyu seems to have a well-thought-out plan in everything he does. In fact, he can achieve the effect he expected in the end, and it is exactly as he expected.

In fact, Zhu Pang admires Gu Chengyu in his heart. There are such people in this world, and he can't even get jealous if he wants to.In his father's words, Gu Chengyu is the proud son of heaven, and heaven really loves him.

There is only one thing Gu Chengyu can't do, and that is his bad background.Otherwise, it is impossible to only have such a little achievement, and he would have already stirred up wind and rain in the court.

In fact, what Zhu Pang didn't know was that Gu Chengyu had already extended his black hands to the court.

"By the way, let me tell you, there is a banquet in Tianxiang Pavilion tonight, do you want to go? I'll take you to see it."

Gu Chengyu felt very speechless, this kind of person was serious for a few moments, and immediately returned to his playboy style.

"No! You have to go by yourself. It wasn't because of you last time that I was dragged to Tianxiang Pavilion, which caused my couplet to be posted on the toilet. Oh! What happened last time? Why did you get so early in the morning? Just go to Tianxiang Pavilion to get drunk? And Zheng Lun? How did you meet Min Feng and the others?"

Speaking of this matter, Zhu Pang was also full of grievances.He originally wanted to cry with Gu Chengyu and the others, but as a result of such a big incident recently, he forgot about it.

No, when he goes back, he will tell his father that he doesn't want to marry Master Kong's eldest daughter.

"Chengyu! Come to my house tomorrow, please help me to plead with my father!" Zhu Pang wept, thinking that if he really married that woman in the future, it would be dark.

Gu Chengyu found it very funny, "What's going on?"

"Didn't my father promise me a kiss?" Zhu Pang picked up a jade wishfull on the table next to Gu Chengyu and played with it, feeling very depressed in his heart.

"I know you don't want to get married, but it's human nature to get married when a male college is married, and when a female college is married. You always want to get married." When Gu Chengyu said these words, a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Picking up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and let go of the weird feeling in my heart.

"Of course I know! So I didn't object later? But last time I heard from the eldest son of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion that the eldest daughter of Mr. Kong is a faceless girl, and she is also a pockmark. I begged my father to divorce, My father disagreed and beat me."

The last time Zhu Pang heard that the girl was ugly and begged his father, but his father refused to withdraw the engagement, so he drank his sorrows with wine.

Gu Chengyu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, he was a little helpless.

"How can you believe what you hear? Don't act recklessly. Since the marriage contract has been settled and the three ceremonies have passed, the tax will be paid immediately. That is a lady who has not passed the family. How can you call off the engagement? It's not ruined." Is it the reputation of other girls? You are too foolish, no wonder your father wants to beat you?"

Retiring an engagement is a great event. If a girl's family gets divorced because of her looks, then the girl will either die or spend the rest of her life with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha.This is what ruined the girl's life, and the two families will form a feud from now on.

Zhu Pang's father didn't beat Zhu Pang to death, which is a shame.

"That's what the eldest son of Zhan Yuanhou's mansion said. I don't want to marry such an ugly woman back." Zhu Pang also knew that there was no room for change in this matter. Just be more comfortable!

"Then, has the elder son ever seen other girls? Can he see girls easily? I don't know where I heard the rumors. It can't be said that the girls are beautiful and others are jealous, which is why they spread a bad reputation." .You! Don’t listen to the fact that the wind is the rain.”

Gu Chengyu felt that it was impossible for an official in ancient times to marry an ugly wife, and it was even less likely for their children to be ugly. Even if they didn't look like gods, they must have beautiful features, right?Of course, exceptions are not excluded, but the probability is very small.

Hearing Gu Chengyu's words, he also felt very reasonable, and nodded repeatedly.

"Stop acting like this, lest the family of Mr. Kong find out that Miss Kong has a prejudice against you in her heart. When you get married in the future, there will always be a knot between the two of you. Besides, you make trouble Everyone knows that Mr. Kong has a shameless face, and your father has to apologize for you."

Gu Chengyu's persuasion was also earnest, and he only hoped that Zhu Pang would stop hurting his face and make him unable to step down.

　Thanks to Situ Qianfan for the reward!
