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

Chapter 991 Definitely Keeping Him From Returning to the Capital
"You Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Isn't this the official position of the fourth rank?" Yao Mengxian frowned. Gu Chengyu was only from the fifth rank before, why was he suddenly promoted so quickly?
This is totally unreasonable, and I'm afraid there is something else they don't know about.

Seeing that her daughter was not overjoyed, the smile on Qing Dai's face restrained.

Lian Xin looked at the girl's frowning, and quickly asked, "Master Gu's promotion is such a happy event! What are you worried about, girl?"

Yao Mengxian shook her head, she just told Lian Xin and the others about this matter, they didn't understand, so it was useless to make them worry.

"Qingdai! You go and find out the reason for this matter. Lian Xin, you give Qingdai two taels of silver, if you go to inquire about it, it will cost you some silver."

Yao Mengxian put down the bandage in her hand, and cast her eyes on Lianxin who was still looking happy.

"Yes!" Although Lian Xin was a little reluctant, she obediently took the key and prepared to open the box to get the money.

Yao Mengxian knew that two taels of silver was quite a lot, enough for Qingdai to serve for a while.It's just that Qing Dai's appetite seems to be bigger now than before, she thinks it's time to beat Qing Dai.

She is going to be a child in a few months, and now she can't leave the house at all.Although she also secretly found someone to inquire about the news, Qing Dai is a child of the family, so she still has an extremely advantage in inquiring about the news.

So Qingdai still uses it like this.

"Qingdai, I heard that your mother has saved 200 taels of silver in a bank?"

Yao Mengxian looked at Qing Dai with cold eyes, and looked at Qing Dai's pretty face that was still happy.

Their family is all servants of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, and the monthly bills of a family of four are only two taels of silver. How long will they have to keep the 200 taels of silver?
Besides, in the mansion, you have to manage things up and down every day, and you can't save anything for two or two a month.

"Where did the girl hear about it? The maid's mother, I only counted money for a month, but I can't save anything. How could there be 200 taels of silver? The girl must have heard it wrong."

Qingdai's pale face forced a smile, and her heart was suddenly flustered.

Why did the girl know that her mother went to the bank to save money?Who the hell told the girl?
"Really? Maybe I heard it wrong. That's right, that's 200 taels of silver! Even I only have 300 taels in this box, and I have kept it for many years!"

At this moment, Lian Xin handed over two taels of silver, and Yao Mengxian smiled at Qing Dai.

Qing Dai suddenly felt that the two taels of silver were extremely hot, and she finally understood what the girl meant.

"Third sister!"

Suddenly, a clear and sweet female voice came from outside the yard.

Yao Mengxian suddenly realized that the voice belonged to Yao Mengdie, the fourth girl in the mansion.Yao Mengdie is so swaying, she is usually cold-hearted, when did that girl come?

It seems that Gu Chengyu's promotion is absolutely true, and even Yao Mengdie has got the news, which shows that the whole capital knows about it.

A bright and beautiful figure soon came into the house, "Third sister, why are you still embroidering handkerchiefs? You really can't stand it! Today, the news has spread all over the capital, Mr. Gu has been promoted three levels in a row, and now he is a fourth-rank one." official position!"

"I said at the beginning that Mr. Gu is very capable, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes an extremely human minister. The third sister is really lucky to be married to Mr. Gu! It's just that my sister doesn't know it yet, right? Mr. Gu was sent by the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River Disaster relief has gone."

Compared with the round face of two years ago, Yao Mengdie's face has lost the baby fat and has become a beautiful oval face.

There was an intriguing smile on her face, and the jealousy in her eyes thought she had hidden it well, but Yao Mengxian who was opposite her had already seen through it.

"What?" Yao Mengxian stood up in surprise, and didn't even notice that the bandage fell to the ground.

Yao Mengdie's facial features were almost distorted when he heard that Gu Chengyu had been promoted to three levels in succession.Unexpectedly, the third sister's fiancé is not only good-looking, but also a celebrity in front of the emperor.

No dynasty or generation has ever heard of an official being promoted three ranks in a row. How could such an honor not make her feel jealous?
When Gu Chengyu is successfully promoted to a member of the third rank in the future, won't the third sister have the order of a third rank gentleman?
All officials of the third rank and above in this dynasty can be granted the title of second to third generation by imperial edict.When Gu Chengyu becomes the third rank, not only can he be conferred on his mother, but even his wife can also be named a third rank gentleman.

Yao Mengdie was about to go crazy with jealousy at first, but then came the news that Gu Chengyu went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.

Who doesn't know that there is a flood in the south of the Yangtze River?It's gone and I can't come back.

Yao Mengdie's heart instantly regained balance, the luck of being promoted to the third level has to be enjoyed by fate, right?

In the middle of the night, the crickets in the grass sang cheerfully, making the originally quiet night noisy.

In the inner study room of Xia Mansion, the candlelight was weak, the two figures on the window seemed a little blurry, and there were murmurs from time to time in the room.

"Gu Chengyu has already left for the south of the Yangtze River. I am afraid that he will find out something. This person is quite capable. I am afraid that he will do bad things!"

An old voice sounded in the study, the words were full of gloom.

"It's just a kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet. Are you still afraid that he will fail?"

Another hoarse voice followed, but the accent of this person's speech was a little weird, and the words were not very clear.

Hearing the sarcasm in the words of the person opposite, the previous voice was a little unhappy.

"The master sent you here because he wanted you to assist me with my affairs. What's your attitude? Gu Chengyu should not be underestimated. If you don't take him seriously, you will suffer a lot in the future."

"Okay! Since you are so afraid of him, then I will deal with him, and he will not be able to return to the capital!"

"Very good! If this person is not dealt with, I will have trouble sleeping and eating!"

The next day, three steeds galloped along the official road, and where the horses' hooves stepped, the ground raised heavy dust.

"My lord! There is a tea house in front of us, let's rest our feet!" Ming Mo looked at the scorching sun above his head, and felt that his eyes were blurry, and he was really tired.

They started off in the afternoon yesterday and have been on their way until now, without closing their eyes all night.

I only ate two pancakes this morning, and it's already noon, so I'm so hungry that my chest sticks to my back.

Gu Chengyu shook the water bag hanging on the saddle, and found that there was no water in the water bag.With Ming Mo and the others around, it was difficult for him to pour water out of the space.

"Alright! We're too tired from traveling all night, we need to take a rest and get a good rest."

The three rode their horses to the teahouse, and the waiter in the teahouse saw this, and immediately greeted him with a happy face.

"Three guest officers, come to the small shop to rest!" With a smile on his face, he stepped forward to take Gu Chengyu's reins, and quickly tied the horse to a tree trunk beside him.
