Chapter 375 Rewards

"Hey, today, Mr. Gu will spend a lot of money. I will treat you to tea another day."

"Yes, yes, my wife is the best at making salted fish. The taste is amazing. If you have a chance, Mr. Gu must appreciate it and try it."

Gu Xian: If you have the chance, you must try it.

"I heard that Mr. Gu's son also took the imperial examination this year, and he will definitely be able to pass the high school. Which department does he like? How about the Ministry of War? If he comes, I will definitely take care of him."

Gu Xian: It's not bad for the Ministry of War, that kid is going to take the martial arts exam anyway.

"Our criminal department is also good, but we are usually too tired to investigate cases, and I don't know if young people are willing to come?"

Gu Xian: My son will not lose his talent if he goes to the Ministry of Criminal Justice with me.

"Our Ministry of Rites can also do it. The Ministry of Rites also has two vacancies this year. We are waiting for next year's palace examination to select some useful ones from the newly promoted Jinshi. If Mr. Gu's son is interested in the errands of the Ministry of Rites, he can also come over."

Gu Xian nodded in his heart. If there is a suitable position, Ming Xi probably won't object. The Ministry of Rites does not offend anyone, unlike his censor, who really hurts people with his mouth.

General Li said: "It's a pity that Mr. Gu's eldest son is a civil servant. If he is a soldier, our camp in the suburbs of Beijing is a good choice."

There was a faint smile in Gu Xian's eyes, very faint, and he couldn't find it unless he looked carefully, "Hey, it's a bit early to say this, we still have to see if he can pass the exam, if he can really win the Jinshi next year, how about If you can stay in Beijing to work, then you really have to entrust a few adults to take care of you."

The next few adults' topics all shifted to the imperial examination, which school in Beijing has outstanding talents, and which student in Jiangnan is most likely to win the first prize in next year's imperial examination.

Shopkeeper Zhang served the food very quickly. With a little effort, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies. These ministers also let go of their stomachs and chatted while eating. The atmosphere was really good.

Gu Xian saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he went downstairs to check out under the pretext of convenience, and when he saw Zhang the shopkeeper, he asked, "How much is the box at Tianzihao?"

Shopkeeper Zhang smiled and said, "A total of 73 halves."

It was so loud that all the guests in the lobby could hear it.

Some who knew Gu Xian were a little surprised. They had heard about Gu Xian all the time, but they didn’t expect that it was him who was the guest today, and they spent more than 70 taels for one flower.

And why do they think Mr. Gu's face is a bit ugly?
It can't be that I can't afford the money.

Seeing that Mr. Gu was about to take out his purse, shopkeeper Zhang quickly stepped forward, pulled Gu Xian to the place where he was carrying someone, and whispered: "Mr. Gu, our prince has something to say. As long as you come, you will hang up no matter what you eat or drink." on his account.

If you feel that it is inconvenient to come to our place to eat, you can also ask the servant to deliver a message, and we will send you home directly. "

Gu Xian: ...Forget that kid will come to trouble.He didn't want to take advantage of that kid, but if he doesn't even have such a little privilege as the father-in-law, then the son-in-law doesn't care.

Gu Xian didn't pretend to be courteous with shopkeeper Zhang, he walked up the stairs slowly while walking in all directions.

Pushing open the box, seeing that everyone had stopped their chopsticks, Gu Xian said, "Are you all satisfied? Do you need to add two more dishes?"

Minister of the Ministry of War quickly waved his hands, "Eat well, eat well, don't need to order any more, the time is almost up, let's hurry back to the Yamen for business."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice is a real person, "This table of wine and food costs dozens of taels, Mr. Gu has spent a lot of money."

Gu Xian waved his hand: "No fee, no fee, only 80 taels of silver. It just so happened that King Yujun saw that I was going to have a treat today, so he sent someone to pay the silver in advance. The official only found out when he went downstairs to pay the bill. .”

Everyone: ... Well, this is showing off your daughter and son-in-law. By the way, Gu Xian, when can you stop, shut up, you can be more cute.

Now they looked at Gu Xian and got angry, so they went downstairs one by one without saying hello.

Seeing the serious faces of these adults, the guests downstairs murmured in their hearts, could it be that Mr. Gu can't afford to invite guests and wants to share these adults equally, the adults are unwilling, so they stretched their faces one by one ?

They could see clearly that Mr. Gu didn't pay the money just now!
After the adults left, the word got out somehow, and it changed, "Oh, you know what a fart, the second nephew of my third aunt's family is the guard The palace gate, I heard him say, Mr. Gu offended someone for some reason, and those elders wanted to trick him. When he came out of the palace, Mr. Gu was put on the shelf by the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War. carriage.

As far as Mr. Gu's little family fortune is concerned, how can he spend a hundred and eighty taels for a meal?I heard that I still owe the meal money, so it would be a strange thing if I can still be happy like this! "

Anyway, these words were spread with nose and eyes, and it was okay to reach the ears of those involved. Everyone laughed it off, and then passed it directly to the emperor.

The emperor's ability to understand is also super strong, super touching!
How could Gu Xian be outraged?
Oh, it must be because I adopted the views he put forward to make those ministers have opinions on him.

He was also carried to a carriage and taken to a restaurant, where he was forced to treat him once?

How much is his annual salary?It cost 80 taels for a meal, which is obviously a trap!

Why is he also the minister of his humerus, he can do errands, and he has brains, how can he make him unable to pay for meals?

So, the emperor offered the reward with a flick of the pen. Anyway, he didn't need to find a reason to reward people. He rewarded people if he wanted to. Gu Xian did a great job in negotiating with Beiliang last time. He should have rewarded him a long time ago. In the end, Daxing was a private deal with the Shi family, so it can't be said on the face of it, this time it just happened to make up.

The last time I rewarded Gu Aiqing was to make a dowry for his daughter. I heard that up to now, the Gu family has not set up a shop in Beijing. Wouldn't it be possible to live on a bowl of noodles worth more than ten yuan every day on that little salary?

There is also money to be rewarded, why else would he spend it?

How embarrassing for an old man who can't even take out the money for a meal when he goes out!
There are also some cloth jewelry, so he won't have money to buy them.

There were all kinds of miscellaneous things, and the list of rewards was also written in a long note. When the court went down the next day, the things arrived at Gu's house together with the imperial decree.

Mrs. Gu, who understood the reason for the reward: ... She is so confused!
Although their family doesn't have much property in the capital, they really don't lack silver flowers. One is that when they were in the northwest, their family was well-off, so they saved some money.

The second is that the daughter is really filial, even if she doesn't go home, she will often send the servants of the house to deliver things, and it's just that there is no shortage of food, drink and clothing, and she will give her money in handfuls.

If the family doesn't accept her, they just call it "money is so easy to earn, my daughter can't spend it all, so my parents can help me spend some."
