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

Chapter 933

Although I was horrified at the speed of Gu Chengyu's promotion, it was a matter of time for a capable minister like Gu Chengyu to be promoted.

Besides, he made a lot of credits before, so no one else can say anything about his promotion.

Yao Qinglan's complexion was extremely ugly, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to marry his prostitute daughter.

Before, he wanted to tell Gu Chengyu the second or third daughter in the mansion, but after seeing Gu Chengyu's potential, he thought that he still had an insignificant maid.

The maid in the outer room was about the same age as the fourth girl in the second room, and not two years younger than Gu Chengyu.

But that girl was born in an outside room, and this happened because of an accident back then.Otherwise, he wouldn't care about his face and keep some kind of concubine outside.

He didn't even think about taking that girl back to the mansion, he just planned to give some money to the girl when she was old.

Otherwise, if he takes him back to the mansion, wouldn't he lose face?

In addition, his wife was pregnant, so he couldn't bring her back.As time went on, he almost forgot about the mother and daughter.

His plan is good, let Gu Chengyu become his son-in-law, is he afraid that Gu Chengyu will not have one heart with him in the future?

Who would have thought that the son-in-law would really be a son-in-law, but who would have thought that the person he was going to marry was his own daughter-in-law.

He originally wanted to keep his prostitute daughter to marry into the aristocratic family, how could he let an official from the fifth rank marry him?It's still a fifth grade without any foundation.

How could Yao Qinglan's anger be smooth?Now those aristocratic families in the capital must be smiling behind their backs.

Compared with Yao Qinglan's livid face, the old man is much calmer.He was also shocked when he heard the content of the marriage offer just now, but Jiang is still old and spicy. Since it is a marriage offer, he has to be willing if he doesn't want it.

When others are mature, they can naturally control their emotions better.

Expressing joy and anger is a big taboo in the officialdom. If this matter makes him mess up, then wouldn't his years of officialdom be in vain?

"Thank you, Grandpa Quan, today is indeed a good day." After receiving the decree, the old Duke got up and asked the eldest son to put the decree into the ancestral hall to worship in person.

He took a step forward and signaled the followers behind him to take out the red seal.

As the Duke of the country, he naturally had to express his opinion, and the red seal was even more indispensable.

"The old man still has a doubt. I don't know if Grandpa Quan knows the inside story."

"Oh? I don't know what the Duke is puzzled about?" Xiao Quanzi was full of smiles. In fact, he knew what the old Duke wanted to ask.

"If the old man remembers correctly, isn't Mr. Gu an official of the sixth rank? When did you become a lecturer of the Imperial Academy?" Duke Zhen asked suspiciously.

"I'm afraid you haven't heard of it yet! This Master Gu is also a double blessing today. Not only was he promoted, but he was also given a marriage. What's more fortunate is that he married your family. What a happy event! It’s really coming one after another!”

Xiao Quanzi laughed, and then told the matter.

Xiao Huanzi who went to Gu Chengyu's place set off a little earlier than him, because there was an imperial decree for promotion, so he had to go earlier.

The decree here has changed Gu Chengyu's rank and official position, so the decree must be announced first.

"Oh! That's how it is." The old Duke's eyes flashed, he didn't expect Gu Chengyu to be so capable, even a fifth rank, and the emperor personally issued an order.

Isn't this move just to make face for Gu Chengyu?It seems that the emperor really valued this person.

Moreover, this person is so young, and he has been promoted to the fifth rank by his own ability. It has to be said that he is very talented and has a bright future.

The depression in the old Duke's heart has also improved a little bit. Apart from his background, he is simply impeccable.

The girls returned to the inner courtyard after receiving the imperial decree. As soon as they stepped into the inner courtyard, Yao Menglian looked at Yao Mengxian sarcastically.

"Third sister is really good at planning. Now you have your wish, right? It's just pushing others out to protect you from disaster. I don't know what kind of femme fatale it is."

Yao Menglian's tone was extremely sharp, which shocked Yao Mengxian who was still immersed in her own thoughts.

She quickly came to her senses, and when she saw Yao Menglian's distorted face, she couldn't help being furious.

"Second Sister, I don't know where to start. The marriage is decided by the Son of Heaven and King Jing. As a woman, how can my younger sister influence their decision? Right now, there are so many things in the house, so Second Sister must speak carefully. Be careful, so as not to bring trouble to the mansion."

Yao Mengxian felt that she had suffered an innocent disaster, how did she know that Prince Jing would choose her second sister as his side concubine?

Yao Mengxian knew who the second sister was thinking in her heart, but that was an extravagant hope after all, that wife would have to live for more than a year!
The second sister is already fifteen this year, can she still be exhausted?

She didn't know how the second sister persuaded the second aunt not to marry her, but she knew that there was absolutely no possibility between the second sister and that one.

Yao Menglian's face turned pale with anger, tears and cruelty glistened in her eyes.

"Hmph! It's just a fifth grade! It's worth the effort of the third younger sister to figure it out. Could it be that she secretly communicated with that person before?"

Considering that Yao Mengxian's grandfather was Gu Chengyu's teacher, and Yao Mengxian often stayed at his grandfather's house for a short time, maybe the two had already secretly learned each other.

What's more, she also heard about Liang Zhirui's entry into the palace from her mother a few days ago, what could Liang Zhirui enter the palace for?Isn't it for Sanya's marriage?
"Second sister, why bother to mock me like this? This decree is not something that my sister can control. If you say this, if it is spread, it will not ruin the reputation of my sister alone. We are both girls of the Duke's Mansion, and we are both honored. Everything is damaged. Could it be that the second sister got a marriage gift today, and she was so happy that she was a little out of choice?"

Yao Menglian's reckless attitude also annoyed Yao Mengxian. If this word spread, her reputation would be ruined.

Besides, this is a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself. Isn't the second sister saying that she is dissatisfied with the marriage?It is also disrespectful to the emperor.

This is no longer a quarrel between the youngest daughter's family, but a major matter related to the entire Duke's Mansion.

If it really got to the ears of the emperor or those officials, they will definitely be reprimanded by the emperor, and even affect the official career of the second uncle and father.

Of course, she didn't have deep feelings for the Duke's Mansion, because none of these people helped her in the dream, and some even made trouble.

For grandfather and father, everyone is because of the value that can be used in each other, how can they love her like a real junior?
She had no affection for the two of them, and she believed they had the same for her.

But she also doesn't want to see the Duke's Mansion being implicated right now. After all, she is not married yet, and she has to stay in the Duke's Mansion for two years, or even longer.

"Besides, the marriage was bestowed by the emperor himself. If Mr. Gu and I really had a private relationship, how could the emperor give the marriage to the two of us? The emperor is very discerning. Could it be that the second sister thinks that the emperor is confused? Is this the way to the emperor? To be disrespectful is simply audacious."
