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

Chapter 567
Ming Mo took Gu Chengyu's order, took out 20 taels from his purse and put it in his arms, ready to go to the front yard to send those two away.

The adults of his family asked him to put some silver taels on him in the outer courtyard earlier, because he often did things for the adults.However, when he went to the outer court to get money, he also had to register with the management office of the outer court.

It's just that the adults treat him and Ming Yan kindly, their monthly salary is ten taels of silver per month, and they will be rewarded with extra silver when they finish their errands. After all, following an adult, sometimes the work is very dangerous.Therefore, he would never use the errand money he received from the Outer Court without permission, and his eyelids would not be so shallow.

Gu Changbai and Gu Wanfang were led into the hall in the front yard to wait, and they were sitting anxiously at the moment.It was Gu Wanfang's first visit to Gu's residence, and she was very nervous.

"Master! We have been waiting for half an hour, why is the little uncle you mentioned not coming?" Gu Wanfang sat on the chair, feeling very awkward.It's really an autumn wind when they come to the door like this.

"I've already inquired about the time when he's on duty, so I think he's already in the mansion by now. Wait a minute, if you still want to study, you can't wait for this idea? The nobleman is busy, so let's wait and see." What matters?"

Gu Changbai felt that his eldest grandson was a little restless, and he was also unhappy.However, they still comforted him a few words, after all, the purpose of their coming today is to ask Gu Chengyu to help recommend a school.

If Brother Fang couldn't hold his breath and spoke disrespectfully to his official nephew, wouldn't they be here for nothing today?Gu Chengyu said that they would not be able to confirm their identities until the people sent to Yingnan Mansion had inquired about them, but it had been several days.

He also knew that it would take a long time to get from the capital to Yingnan Mansion, but he was anxious to wait, so he couldn't help but come again to test out Brother Fang's matter.To this day, he hasn't done the first thing that the mysterious person told him. Since he came to the capital, that person has only shown up once, and he hasn't even seen Xiaoyao.

Gu Changbai sighed deeply in his heart, it is really a person sitting at home, the disaster comes from heaven.Originally, although their family lived in a poor life, they can always live well.Unexpectedly, because their nephew became an official, they would be involved in these right and wrong.

There is also the eldest granddaughter, who has not been seen so far.At that time, the old bustard said that his granddaughter had been redeemed by his nephew, and he was a little worried.What can this man do to redeem a woman from a brothel?Have the eldest granddaughter and Gu Chengyu ever had a physical relationship?If there is, isn't it incest?These two are uncles and nephews.

Gu Changbai suddenly thought about this in the past two days, and his thoughts on finding his granddaughter faded.She had already become a brothel girl, and now she was redeemed by her cousin. If there was still that ulterior relationship with her cousin, even the old ancestor would be ashamed to crawl out of the ground.

Come today, he will definitely have to ask about this matter, and he doesn't know how to deal with his eldest granddaughter.

Ming Mo had already arrived outside the hall just now, but when he heard that the two of them happened to be talking about his lord, he slowed down his steps.When I heard Gu Changbai talk about Gu Wanfang's study, I knew the purpose of these two people coming here today.

Ming Mo came from the left side of Chaoshou corridor, so the two people in the room couldn't see him.I wanted to hear what the two of them had to say, but after Gu Changbai reprimanded Gu Wanfang, he stopped talking.

Ming Mo amplified the sound of his footsteps, and the two people in the room thought it was Gu Chengyu who had come.Standing up quickly, Gu Wanfang was about to salute, but seeing Ming Mo coming alone, he realized that it was a follower's attire, and felt a little disappointed, it seemed that he would not see the little cousin today.

Regardless of how Gu Changbai and the others returned without success, Gu Chengyu got up earlier the next day than usual.Opening the window and seeing that it was still gray outside, he began to do his daily homework.

Even after becoming an official, Gu Chengyu did not stop practicing calligraphy and painting every day.It's a pity that since he entered the Hanlin Academy on duty, he has less free time, and his painting has not made any progress during this period.

Zhang Hai went to the Imperial Academy early in the morning, and the prefaces submitted by Gu Chengyu received unanimous praise from six parts, so he submitted them to Xia Shoufu for review in the next noon.Although this matter is the head of the Six Departments, they are still compiled by the Imperial Academy after all, and the Six Departments only provide some classics and suggestions.

The work of the Hanlin Academy is very heavy, not to mention other congratulations, edicts, inscriptions, and sacrificial inscriptions that need to be compiled.There are also compilation records, hadiths, Benji, jade documents and other book histories, such as "Jiaren Shilu", "Huiming Shilu" and so on.

Now with the addition of "Da Yan Hui Dian", all the officials of the Imperial Academy, even if they do not stop throughout the year, it will take many years.

In addition, according to the feast day, the Holy Majesty has fewer summons than before.The so-called lectures on the feast day are to read the classics and history for the emperor, explain the meaning of the text, and analyze the government affairs, so as to provide the emperor with a strategy for governing the country.

The original lectures on the feast day had to be from February to the Dragon Boat Festival, and from August to the Winter Solstice, and they were served on a single day, and they took turns to give lectures.But now that the emperor is often sick, it has become the emperor's summons, which also makes them easier for the Hanlin Academy.

Not to mention that he was the examiner or examiner at the time of the provincial and general examinations. If he did not meet officials from other government offices designated by the emperor, the Imperial Academy would have to transfer officials to serve as examiners.However, not all officials of the Imperial Academy can go there if they want, and they need to pass the exam before they can take this job.

Immediately, he thought that Gu Chengyu's ability was not bad, so he must be assigned more work in the future.Zhang Hai thought about it in his heart, but he still had to find someone to teach Gu Chengyu to learn more.

Gu Chengyu still doesn't know that his future life will be in dire straits, and he is listening to Ming Mo's report of the purpose of Gu Changbai and his father's visit yesterday.

"You mean, they came to me yesterday because they wanted me to introduce them to an academy?" Li Chun was smoothing out the wrinkles on Gu Chengyu's official uniform, and Gu Chengyu put on the black gauze hat, ready to go to the Imperial Academy for admission.

The two girls Banxia and Liandong who just arrived at the side couldn't get in, so they had to stand aside and wait.

Gu Chengyu frowned, he dressed himself every day when he got up early, and Lichun only tied his hair, but he didn't expect Lichun to tidy up his clothes today.

Ancient buns are very difficult to comb, and Gu Chengyu's long hair has grown to his waist.As for the hair bun, Gu Chengyu has always been handicapped, so it was Mingmo and the others who helped before, but now it's Lichun.

"Yes! Master Gu told me yesterday that he wanted to ask you to help me with this matter." Ming Mo respectfully reported to Gu Chengyu.

"Those small private schools are just more expensive to repair. Didn't I give money? If you want to go to a big academy, then you can only forgive me for being helpless. You have to take a college entrance examination to enter an academy, and I can force him into it." ? If they are still looking for this matter, you will send them away like this."

　There will be more tomorrow!
