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

Chapter 589 Posts from the Princess Palace

All of them in the Ye clan were poor. When he came to the capital to study, the clan even pooled some silver taels for him to pay for.For this, he was not ungrateful.

If he can choose a junior from the clan to do some trivial things for him, it will save him from doing everything himself.He doesn't talk about being rich and powerful now, but he can still afford to pay some monthly money.

Gu Chengyu smiled knowingly, this method is not bad.Ye Zhiqiu had no one around to take care of him, and it was inconvenient for him to do some things in person, besides, he was considered an official now, so it was unreasonable to do things without an entourage.

"This method is not impossible, and it is also good for your clan. It's just that we are all in the capital now, and it may not be easy for the clan to send people here."

Ye Zhiqiu pondered for a while, "Don't we have family leave? I'm waiting! I didn't want to go back, but it seems I still have to go back."

Because Ye Zhiqiu had already brought Ye Mu and the others back to Beijing, so he didn't care if they went back or not.But he thought of his eldest sister who was far away in Jingyuan Mansion, and thought it would be better to go back and have a look.

"Then if I go back first, I'll bring the person for you! You go back and write a letter to explain this to the clan."

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight pours on the earth, as if covering the earth with a hazy coat.The carriage ran on the bluestone slab, making a grunting sound.

This is an alley, different from the busy streets outside, it is very quiet here.

"My lord! It's almost time to arrive at the residence!" Ming Mo drove the carriage without looking back.

"Yeah!" Gu Chengyu responded softly, rubbing the center of his brows, everyone was in high spirits tonight, so they inevitably drank a few more glasses.It's not that he can't drink, but that he is smelled of alcohol.

The carriage drove to the corner gate of Gu's Mansion, the gatekeeper heard the sound of the carriage, opened the door and saw that it was his own carriage.He quickly opened the door and let the carriage in.

When Chen Guanshi from the outer court saw his master coming, he took the post that he sent to the mansion today, and followed him to the inner court.

Gu Chengyu smelled the alcohol smell on his body, and planned to take a bath first and have a good rest.There are a lot of things going on today, and he still has to calm down to analyze how the emperor arranges the secret book.

"My lord! The mansion received many posts today, and one of them was sent by the eldest princess' mansion." Seeing that Gu Chengyu was about to enter the house to rest, Chen Guanshi hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh? The eldest princess's mansion?" Gu Chengyu was a little confused. He had no contact with the eldest princess's mansion. Why would the eldest princess's mansion send him a post?
Gu Chengyu took the post suspiciously and opened it.It is indeed from the eldest princess's mansion, and there is also the eldest princess's private seal on it.Looking at the content again, it turned out to be some kind of flower viewing party.

After all, the eldest princess is a model of noblewomen in the capital, and her husband is the Duke of Qin, so naturally there are many large and small banquets held in the mansion every year.Among them, the annual literary meeting attracted many young men and girls from aristocratic families, and even young officials participated.

To put it bluntly, it was a blind date meeting in disguise.However, this is all a coincidence that everyone gathered together to have fun!When we really talk about marriage, we still need the words of the matchmaker at the order of our parents.Even if you want to meet each other, you need the consent of the elders of both parties before you can come to propose marriage.

Any behavior that is not aimed at proposing marriage is playing hooligans.

However, Gu Chengyu had no interest in such a banquet, and for some reason the post was sent to his house.He thought about it, maybe it was because he was quite famous in the capital before, and he was young, so he was sent here?

He has some conflicts. If he doesn't go, he wonders if he will offend the eldest princess?Looking at the date, it was on the ninth day.He did the math, and it was a coincidence that it was his day to rest.

However, at that time, he might get a letter of approval and be able to go back to his hometown to visit relatives.So it's useless to worry about it now, he took the post in his hand and was about to turn around and go into the house.

"My lord! Then these posts, the little ones will put them away."

Chen Guanshi asked as usual, there are always posts in the house every day, ranging from three to five to more than a dozen.Most of them are your former classmates, and those scholars who admire your literary talent, and want to invite you to some poetry meeting.

Gu Chengyu nodded, he usually doesn't reply to those posts, and puts them all on the shelf.After all, there were too many posts, if he replied one by one, wouldn't it take up a lot of his time?Besides, it is customary for people who do not want to associate with them not to reply to posts.

Those people said behind his back that he had forgotten his former classmates after becoming an official, or that he was arrogant and dismissed them, so let them say.People who have never met before, there is no need to wrong yourself for fear of being criticized behind others.

Gu Chengyu dismissed Chen Guanshi, went into the house, and ordered Lichun to prepare bath water for him.

Ming Mo parked the carriage, came to Gu Chengyu's room, and reported on what Gu Chengyu went to answer Maoqian today.

"My lord! According to your instructions, Ming Yan has already brought some good men to Hechuan Mansion to find a place to guard Miss Ji." As soon as Ming Mo entered the room, he watched Li Chun take the clothes for Gu Chengyu and go out. Only then did he report the matter to Gu Chengyu.

"Well! Remember to let those few people take good care of her. When the matter here is over, find a place far away from the capital and marry her."

For her niece's sake, Gu Chengyu will also prepare a dowry for her.In the future, there will be basically no communication.No matter what the purpose of Ji Fuqu is to send people away, he doesn't intend to care about the past anymore.

"Yes! My lord, the person who went to Yingnan Mansion sent a letter today." Ming Mo watched Gu Chengyu enter the inner room, and stood still at the door of the inner room.

When his young master takes a bath, he doesn't like outsiders around.Seeing that Lichun was coming, he waved his hand and asked Lichun to go out and wait outside the house.

When Lichun saw it, he knew that Mingmo had something to discuss with the adults.Therefore, I only glanced inside, and when I heard the sound of water inside, I turned around and walked outside.

"Oh? Tell me about the situation." Gu Chengyu couldn't help becoming interested when he heard this.

Ming Mo stared at Li Chun's back for a while, and when he heard Gu Chengyu's question, he turned his head and answered respectfully.

"That master is indeed your second uncle, Gu Changbai's family. The second old master gave birth to two sons. A few years ago, the eldest son went out to do business with others, and was robbed by bandits. He refused to obey him and was killed. Stay behind The eldest son Gu Wanfang, the second daughter Gu Qian, and the youngest son Gu Wanke."

"Gu Qian had an older granddaughter before, who was taken away by a Huazi auctioneer when she was five years old. These facts are all true. The second son gave birth to a son and two daughters, and now they are all in Yingnan Mansion, farming for a living."

Ming Mo took a breath, and told Gu Chengyu about the situation.

"Some time ago, the second old man suddenly came to the capital with the child left by the eldest son and the second old lady."
