The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 50: A Pile of Trivia

Guo Nuan became the No. [-] scholar, and his friend Pu Shangxuan became the No. [-] candidate. In a courtyard of the Princess Mansion, he won the first two places. This news immediately caused a sensation in the whole city.

In just a few days, the threshold of Princess Shengping's Mansion was almost smashed by the upper class people in Chang'an City.Every time the servant who chanted the congratulatory gift read aloud with the congratulatory list, Guo Nuan, the number one scholar at the side, would tremble uncontrollably.

"Master Li, servant of the Ministry of Officials, presents fifty catties of tea and three hundred bolts of white silk to congratulate!"

"Zhang Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, forty catties of Jiangnan tea, fifteen South Sea pearls"

"Lord Yuhao of Hexi County, a pair of gold silk belts and a jade pendant carved with topaz."

. . .

Guo Nuan was secretly surprised. So many gifts were sent to her in boxes and bags.

On the second day after posting the list, Guo Nuan made a private visit to the office of Jingzhao Mansion. Jingzhao Mansion is located in the southeast corner of Guangde Square in the west of Chang’an City. The location is considered a prosperous area, and the mansion is spacious enough. The few large courtyards are a little dilapidated.

The old walls of the mansion were covered with ivy and ivy, and the flower beds were overgrown with weeds. It was very dilapidated, and even the signboard hanging above the gate of the mansion was also painted off.Not to mention the drums, they have already been beaten to pieces by the people who came to hand over the lawsuits in an endless stream.Jingzhao Mansion Yin has been short of people for more than a month, and the official documents of the case have been squeezed in the government archives, and there is no way to try it.

On the day of Weifu's private visit, Guo Nuan was lucky enough to meet an old acquaintance. At that time, seeing Yan Ruoshui who was working in Jingzhao Mansion, Guo Nuan was very happy, and walked around in front of Yan Ruoshui pretending to be an official seal.

"Ahem, Brother Yan, oh no, it's Sister Yan, oh...Yan Butou, um, you heard about the recent incident." When Guo Nuan met Yan Ruoshui, she was wearing a tight-fitting yamen servant's flying fish uniform. With a heroic face, Guo Nuan almost yelled the wrong thing and called her a man.

"Well, good morning, my lord." Yan Ruoshui had a calm face, and ordered a few servants to clean up in the deserted yamen, preparing to welcome Guo Nuan, the new official, to take office in four days. Surprised, but the attitude is still the same as before, lukewarm towards Guo Nuan.

Yan Ruoshui is the head arrester of Jingzhao Mansion and concurrently serves as Shao Yin, the second person in Jingzhao Mansion and Guo Nuan's deputy in the future.

Guo Nuan didn't know where he had offended Yan Ruoshui before, but he was very happy. After all, this woman was his savior twice, and she was also the daughter of his calligraphy idol Yan Zhenqing. Besides, there is a saying that men and women match each other Not tired from work, Yan Ruoshui looks so heroic in men's clothing, Guo Nuan thought, if she put on a girl's clothing, she should not look bad.

Come on, seeing that there will be acquaintances in the mansion in the future, Guo Nuan will not be too lonely, so she went back to the princess mansion.I plan to rest for a few days, and then go to work in Jingzhao Mansion on the day I take office.

Winning the No. [-] prize gave a different feeling. Guo Nuan had always kept a low profile when entering the city, but when he arrived in the city, many people immediately recognized him.That was a huge crowd.In particular, the Confucian scholars kept crowding around Guo Nuan's new carriage, and they all asked for Guo Nuan's autograph.

By the way, people in the Tang Dynasty also liked celebrity signatures very much. Guo Nuan found that this phenomenon is very similar to modern times.However, people in the Tang Dynasty asked Guo Nuan for calligraphy signatures. The thin gold style has become popular in the city recently, and there has been a trend of learning Guo Nuan thin gold style calligraphy in the circle of scholars. Not a lot.

According to gossip from an unknown corner, if anyone can make Guo Nuan accept him as an apprentice, the next number one scholar will most likely be that person.Immediately, the apprenticeship fee increased to 8000 taels of gold, but Guo Nuan, who was always greedy for money, still endured and confiscated the next apprentice.

As a new official, there are still a lot of things to be busy. How can I have time to recruit apprentices to teach others calligraphy? Maybe when I am old, Guo Nuan will consider opening a library to teach apprentices. Thin golden body, this must be from Guo Nuan Li was carried forward in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the limelight would have been stolen by Song Huizong, the real inventor of the thin gold script, and Guo Nuan would not let go of such a good opportunity to be famous forever.

Of course, apart from the arrival of officials from Chang'an to congratulate him, Guo Nuan's mother, Mrs. Wang, was also present. Mrs. Wang's face was full of joy all day long, and when she learned that her son had won the championship and came back, she immediately looked radiant and rejuvenated. teens.It is said that the old man Guo Ziyi in Mobei has been sent to urgently notify the old man Guo Ziyi. I believe the old man will hear the good news of the six sons soon.

Furthermore, Shengping was also happy for her husband, and took the initiative to help Guo Nuan entertain guests in broad daylight, behaved reasonably and respectfully, and acted like a virtuous and virtuous wife in front of others, which gave Guo Nuan some face.

Another interesting thing is that the night before Weifu’s private visit, it is said that when the nanny went out to pour the chamber pot, she saw a sneaky shadow sneaking out from the attic where the princess slept. Immediately, the big and round nurse rolled up her sleeves and casually grabbed a rake placed in the corner of the wall, and galloped up to the guy wearing only a pair of underpants, and threw a rake at his butthole abruptly.

"Oh, nanny, it's...it's me, son-in-law. My ass!" At that time, the night was still dark, and the nanny couldn't see who the guy in the yard opposite was. When he called out, it was extremely high-pitched and passionate in the clean courtyard.

When the nanny heard this voice, why was the voice so familiar, she walked closer and saw that it was incredible, the eyes of the nanny's chubby face were wide open, and she looked puzzled: "My son-in-law, you came here to do something in the middle of the night. Well, why do you look like a thief?"

Just as Guo Nuan was clutching his sore buttocks and jumping around, he was embarrassed for a moment, he didn't know how to answer the nurse's words, his anxious face was like a monkey's red buttocks.

"Uh, that, uh, me..." Guo Nuanyi oh oh, standing in front of the nanny, just couldn't hold back a word.

Immediately, the carved wooden window on the second floor of Cuiyan Pavilion where Shengping lived creaked open. Shengping held up a white candle and stuck his head out of the window. Seeing the pain in her buttocks, Guo Nuan whispered to the nanny in a shy tone: "Nurse, you misunderstood the son-in-law, I... asked him to come here"

Oh, it turned out that there was a black light in the middle of the night, and the feeling was that the son-in-law and the princess had a tryst in the boudoir.As a person who has been here, the nanny suddenly smiled cheaply.The concubine congratulated the concubine, and retreated with a comprehensible face.

The next day, the news spread in the manor, and everyone talked about it with great joy, and gossipers even guessed whether the princess and her son-in-law's first child would be a boy or a girl.

The story about the consort's tryst with the princess spread, but the nanny got anxious and explained to hundreds of servants in the mansion that she didn't spread the news, but she really didn't just say it.The explosion of the chrysanthemum with a rake the night before yesterday, followed by the shocking cry of the son-in-law, spread throughout the entire Princess Mansion, and everyone knew about it.

In short, there have been many happy events in the princess mansion recently, and Guo Nuan has not been appointed yet, so he is really tired from tossing about other trivial matters.
