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

Chapter 635 Provocation
He nonchalantly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, ignoring Liang Zhirui's and Wu An's frowning brows, and continued: "Besides, if the performance is too mediocre, how can the emperor value his junior so much? How can there be perfection in this world? Too If you are too deliberate, you will miss a great opportunity.”

Hearing this, Wu An was about to refute immediately, but Liang Zhirui waved his hand.People have their own ambitions, and there are tens of thousands of people in the world, and there are thousands of ways to live.

Liang Zhirui felt that Gu Chengyu's temperament was somewhat similar to He Jisheng's, but he was more upright than He Jisheng!Even if Gu Chengyu had a desire for power, it was relying on his own ability, never going crooked, let alone losing his conscience.

"By the way, teacher, I received a post from the Princess' Mansion, saying that a flower viewing party is going to be held, but I have two days to go back to my hometown."

Gu Chengyu originally didn't intend to ask today, but he was afraid that he would not have time to come over tomorrow, so it was not a big deal.

"Huh? From the eldest princess's mansion? I didn't expect that the eldest princess's mansion would post a post for my junior. After all, you are young, so it's good to go to gain knowledge."

Before Liang Zhirui could speak, He Jisheng asked in surprise.

The flower viewing party held by the eldest princess has another purpose. Young boys and girls in the capital all want to go to the flower viewing party.The princes and girls of the aristocratic families flocked to it even more, and the wives who received the post would also go there with pleasure.

This is a good opportunity to meet the girl and the son of the family secretly, how can those wives let it go?

He Jisheng's eldest son and second son are not very old, so of course they will not receive the post.But his purpose is not to see his daughter-in-law, but to let his wife go and make friends with those wives.

After all, he is only a fourth-rank official, and those real aristocratic families don't think highly of the fourth-rank official.

Liang Zhirui pondered for a moment, "When is the flower viewing party? But it delayed your return home?"

"It just so happened that on the third day, my house also received a post." Hearing what Gu Chengyu said, Wu An remembered this.

He has three daughters. The eldest daughter and the second daughter are both old, and there is a newborn daughter who is still in her infancy. The post sent by the eldest princess mansion has named the names of the two daughters.

"Then you can postpone going back for a day! After all, you are the eldest princess, so you just go there. If you have nothing to do, you can leave earlier."

What Liang Zhirui didn't say was that the eldest princess is not a friendly person, if Gu Chengyu didn't go, she might offend others, after all, she made a special post.As for the acquaintance, forget it, Gu Chengyu has no elders to go, he just joins in the fun!
Gu Chengyu nodded. Anyway, it was morning, and he took his lunch, so he saw the right time to say goodbye.After all, he was going back to his hometown, so the master wouldn't be so unreasonable, right?Besides, there must be some people who left halfway.

The four of them talked for a while about the tea tax, and Wu An said he had something to say and left.

This was exactly what Gu Chengyu wanted, and he had to go back earlier to deal with Gu Wanfang's affairs.Therefore, he also bid farewell.

"Teacher, I still have something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first. I'll come to see you and my teacher when I'm free. At my teacher's place, please ask the teacher to apologize for me, so I won't go."

Liang Zhirui originally wanted Gu Chengyu to stay and persuade him, but Gu Chengyu had something to do, so he could only wait for another day to talk about it.

"You take some time to come over these two days, I have something to tell you." Liang Zhirui confessed to Gu Chengyu.

Gu Chengyu glanced at Liang Zhirui and knew that the teacher had something to say to him.

He Jisheng, who hadn't moved a step aside, cast his eyes on Liang Zhirui, and with just one glance, he followed Wu An out of the outer courtyard.

Gu Chengyu got into the carriage and asked Ming Yan to return home directly.

"Second Senior Brother, I will ride with you in the same carriage." He Jisheng smiled at Wu An, and climbed into Wu's carriage first.

Wu An was a little strange. When He Jisheng came here, he was riding in a carriage in his own mansion. Could it be that he had something to say to him?He guessed that what He Jisheng was about to say might have something to do with Gu Chengyu.

"Junior Brother, do you have something to say?" Wu An got into the carriage and didn't even bother to exchange greetings, so he got straight to the point.

He Jisheng frowned, "Brother, did you know about the tea tax beforehand?"

Wu An shook his head, "No!"

He Jisheng leaned against the slightly bumpy carriage wall and glanced at Wu An.

"I think the teacher knew about it beforehand, and I don't know if the senior brother knew about it."

He Jisheng thought of Yin Kun who went to Yingnan Mansion to investigate the case. In fact, he felt that Yin Kun didn't know about it.If the emperor had known about the tea tax in advance, he would definitely not have kept his eyes on the Xia clan's money.

Gu Chengyu must have talked about the tea tax with the emperor not long ago.Yin Kun was sent to Yingnan Mansion only after the case of Xia Zhou came out.Therefore, Yin Kun is mostly unaware.

However, he wouldn't tell Wu An that he didn't believe that Wu An didn't resent the teacher in his heart.

Back then when the teacher was still the first assistant, Wu An had only achieved the fourth rank, and even became a local official. Didn't Wu An have any complaints in his heart?

If the teacher had put in some effort to find a good job for Wu An back then, Wu An wouldn't be still a fourth-rank up to now.

Wu An looked at He Jisheng, his eyes were dark, he just stared at He Jisheng, and then looked away.

"Eldest senior brother went to Yingnan Mansion, so he probably didn't know about it. Before Jinyu submits the memorial, it's not uncommon to ask the teacher to have a look."

Wu An sneered in his heart. Is He Jisheng trying to provoke the relationship between himself, his teacher and Gu Chengyu?
His temper is rigid, but it doesn't mean he is stupid, otherwise why should he secure the position of the fourth-rank official?

The teacher and Gu Chengyu have a close relationship, and before Gu Chengyu goes to court, he must discuss this matter with the teacher, so as to know where there are deficiencies.This is not surprising, and he is not the kind of person who can't figure it out.

I just didn't discuss it with him, firstly because the relationship is not so close, and secondly because the emperor has not announced it yet, so the less people know about this matter, the better.

Besides, it was impossible for the brothers and sisters to tell all the secrets about themselves before. Could it be that he, He Jisheng, told them some secret things?
As for himself and others, Wu An also concealed a lot from his teacher, let alone his brothers.Could it be that such a shrewd person as He Jisheng would tell the whole story to their brothers and sisters?

His mother said that although Gu Chengyu was still a teenager, Gu Chengyu's future prospects would not be bad.

He and He Jisheng have known each other for many years, and he knows what kind of character He Jisheng is.This is a person who has no profit and can't afford to be early, but he is not very broad-minded, so after Wu An became a Beijing official, he didn't often associate with He Jisheng.

He also can't understand such a person.

He Jisheng's heart skipped a beat at Wu An's glance, and he didn't need to explain, it would be bad if he said too much.

"Junior brother is really good at it. He is very capable. I'm afraid that in the future we will have to rely on junior brother to draw us as seniors."

He Jisheng smiled all over his face, as if he was joking.
