Chapter 153: A dilemma

After a long time, she said again, "Sister Shan, are we relatives?"

Zhou Mingshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"If the relatives are in trouble, should they help more?"

Zhou Mingshan nodded again.

Seeing Zhou Mingshan so cooperative, Gu couldn't help but relax a little.

She pondered it in her mind for a moment, and then spoke, "You see, this is how it ......."

Gu Shi told Yuan Wei about his current situation, and then looked at Zhou Mingshan expectantly.

Zhou Mingshan was surprised.

She didn't quite understand what Gu meant.

Although the eldest cousin is from the same Jinshi, he is also the top three in the eight classics, and the aunt of this procedure for selecting and appointing officials is also right, and it is normal that there is no news at present, after all, everyone has to go through this procedure.

She asked tentatively, "What do you mean by ......?"

Gu thought she had understood, and when she saw her so good, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and leaned closer to her again, "Yes, that's what aunt meant, if you can help your eldest cousin with this, he will definitely remember you well for the rest of his life!"

Zhou Mingshan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Dare to love her aunt is to ask her to help find a way, help her eldest cousin dredge, and take office earlier.

But how can she influence the election of officials in the imperial court?

"Aunt, this ......" Zhou Mingshan said as tactfully as possible, "I'm afraid my nephew's daughter won't be able to help you with this matter, right?"

"Why can't you help?" Gu thought that her child's family didn't know about it, and explained again, "Originally, I should have gone to your mother for this matter, but she is like that now, and my aunt can't bear to let her work, but fortunately, your mother often says that you can do it, and you can be half of her family, even if you come to you!"

Looking for a mother?

Zhou Mingshan was even more surprised.

Mother has always been a foreign affair, what's the use of looking for her?

Wait, a flash of inspiration flashed in her head.

Could it be that my aunt actually meant to find my father?

By the way, it should be so, after all, my aunt is a family member. I can't go to my father to talk to me, I can only pass the word through my mother.

But the problem came again, my father was just a seven-grade editor of the Hanlin Academy, and he saw more people. How can you have such ability?

His friends who are the same age and are now just like his eldest cousin, waiting to be elected!

My aunt should know all these things, but why is she sure that her father can help?

In this case, Zhou Mingshan simply spread it out and said, "Mingshan really doesn't understand what her aunt means. My father and my uncle also know about it, and I ask my aunt to make it clear!"

Hearing Zhou Mingshan say it so loudly, Gu couldn't help but feel a little hot.

After all, she was the one who came to beg for someone.

However, I think it's Sister Shan'er who doesn't know anything about the outside when they are in the inner house, and they don't know what is going on in the limelight with their uncle.

She thought about it for a while, and slowly said what she heard from Yuan Wei and Yuan Zheng.

"Your father has won the emperor's appreciation, I heard that he is also like a fish in water in the Hanlin Academy, everyone is very face-saving, I heard that a while ago, even Lord Lang Jia, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, had a blue eye for him......"

Speaking of which, she finally remembered that she wanted to make a fuss before the Jia family. Then he didn't say this anymore, and turned to say, "Besides, you have entered the eyes of the concubine again, and as soon as she speaks, there are ten or eight things that can be done......

Hearing that the Gu family had talked about this, Zhou Mingshan subconsciously spoke to stop her, "Aunt be cautious!

Gu Shi froze for a moment, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

In the end, there are still no rules, and the elders interject casually.

"Look at you, kid, it's just our mother and son talking about ourselves. It won't spread to the outside world, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Mingshan pursed her lips and smiled, she was also in a hurry, a habit in her previous life.

But speaking of which. She understood, too.

Because she and her father Zhou Ze have been in the limelight recently, her aunt came to the door for help after listening to the rumors outside.

To talk about it, if you have the ability, it's okay to help raise your relatives, which is also human nature.

But the problem is that they can't do it!

Could it be that because she had face in front of the concubine, her father received a few words of praise from the emperor. Can you point fingers at the major affairs of the court?

Isn't that a big joke to tell?

She didn't understand what Gu Shi thought, and would actually make such a request?

She thought about it, but explained in a slow tone, "Auntie, although my father has received a few words of praise before, it is just what he deserves for his hard work, and as for the rest, it is estimated that he is not so faceless." Besides, the concubine Niangniang's side, not to mention the rules of the harem, just say that the mother is not feeling well now, and Mingshan is not good to disturb!"

Yuan was furious by what she said.

With my uncle's current face, how much effort can be made for such a simple matter, but it is just a matter of a few words. Not to mention the concubine Niangniang, a little sentence came out, I don't know how many people want to please? Why can't it be the turn of their relatives, and they also say that they are unwell, if they are unwell, your sister Shan still has to run to the palace when she sees Tian'er? Why are you not afraid of disturbing the concubine?

Gu had already decided in his heart that Zhou Mingshan just didn't want to help.

Just like the last time the Xianguo Mansion happened, although Yuan Zheng later explained to her why she couldn't go over, she had already left a knot in her heart.

She lowered her face and looked at Zhou Mingshan obliquely, "So, are you unwilling?"

Seeing that Gu's face was not good, Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly.

The last time the Xianguo Mansion incident was unhappy, this time my aunt is also a mother's heart, and besides, she and her second cousin have already made a marriage, she doesn't want her aunt to be too unable to come to the stage.

Besides, even if you want to help, my cousin can't do it in a sentence or two.

Otherwise, my grandfather also had some relationships before, how could it be delayed until now?

She asked Gu, "Auntie, is this your own idea, or is it your uncle's idea?"

When Gu Shi heard this, his face instantly darkened a little, "What do I mean, what does your uncle mean?" Sister Shan'er, doesn't you treat your aunt and me as elders?"

Not again!

She found that Gu was particularly capable of misinterpreting other people's meanings when he was angry.

But I can't deal with her at this time.

Zhou Mingshan smiled, "No, you misunderstood! The eldest cousin still needs to think about this matter in the long run, if this is your own meaning, Mingshan thinks you should go back and talk to the eldest uncle first, and then we will discuss it together, what do you think?"

She felt that she had said it tactfully enough.

But he didn't want to, Gu Shi sneered, and got up from the chair with a "huh", "Then you mean that you are determined not to help?"

Zhou Mingshan also stood up and said helplessly, "It's not that you don't help, it's that you don't have that ability for the time being!"

Gu's eyes were red, and he looked angry, "Hmph, you don't have that ability, I see that you are very capable, I'm afraid that you look down on our poor relatives and want to climb another high branch, right?"

Sure enough, I know!

Zhou Mingshan sighed secretly, thinking that why didn't the Gu family ask the guilt, it turned out that he was waiting here.

She tugged at the corners of her mouth and continued to persuade, "Auntie, one yard is one yard, you listened to me explain the matter before......

"Needless to say, your mother is not like before now, I think she feels that she is developed, and she doesn't even pay attention to her own eldest brother, and plays us like fools!

said that he could, but after counting the Yuan family, Zhou Mingshan was unwilling.

Gu Shi didn't give up, he didn't even want to listen to her explanation, who was he going to show like this?

"Uncle, my mother doesn't know anything, why do you want to climb her?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid of what others will say, why do you have to keep those unsightly thoughts, but you have to be stricter, others have ears and mouths! Okay, I don't want to say more, if you don't get an answer after three days, I think we should not do it!"

Gu Shi threw down a few words and left in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
