Chapter 117: Ren Shu Arrives
Chapter 117 Ren Shu arrives
The New Year flies by.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it is the time when the lights are everywhere.
For Gu Fu, today is not only a Lantern Festival, but also a long-awaited happy day.
Old Madam Gu smiled so much that the wrinkles on her face trembled: "Third child, is it really a letter of appointment sent from the capital?"
Master Gu San only nodded stupidly, his eyes did not leave the edict in his hand [19], and his hands kept rubbing the big gold characters and muttering to himself: "Wailang of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang of the Ministry of Rites...... Hahahaha, my Gu Ye has finally been promoted!"
Mrs. Gu San was happy, but she was not overjoyed, she had a bigger goal - one day Master Gu San would be able to worship the five products and earn a life for her.
As the head of the family, Master Gu was not happy, and he was a little depressed in addition to being happy.
Mrs. Gu, who always paid attention to her husband, naturally looked at it in her eyes and asked softly: "Master, what's the matter, the great joy we have been looking forward to for a long time has finally come, do you think there is anything wrong?"
A room full of people looked at the old man suspiciously, what was wrong, how could such a good thing be wrong.
Master Gu shook his head: "It's not that there's anything wrong, I just remembered the three girls." ”
Three girls, Gu Ruxuan?
This time, instead of unanimously showing disdain and sarcasm, everyone was silent.
There is no other reason, naturally because of the best auction that everyone talked about a year ago.
Now everyone in the streets and alleys knows that the third lady of the Gu Mansion is a genius in the sky, and her amazing painting skills are close to those of the Changyu layman, and even surpassing.
As soon as the New Year passed, in just a few days, they Gu Mansion didn't know how many worship posts and invitations they had received, all of which were for Gu Ruxuan, either for Gu Ruxuan herself, or for Qiu Gongzi.
"I knew this was the case, and the candidate for marriage... Should think again. Master Gu sighed.
He really regretted it a little, thinking about this Gu Ruxuan, it is really not simple, those related to her are not ordinary people, the noble girl in the capital, the Qiu Gongzi in the house, oh, now the Qiu Gongzi brothers and sisters no longer live in the mansion, the Imperial Doctor Liang who has returned from glory, and herself who is in the limelight this time, how much help this is for the entire Gu Mansion.
Besides, not to mention anything else, Gu Ruxuan, who has gained weight, is even more amazing than he imagined, thinking that as long as she doesn't look too miserable, she can successfully marry the Lin family, but she didn't expect to become a beauty like a flower.
With such a appearance, even if you don't understand everything, it would be a pity to marry a fool, of course, a fool like the Lin family is definitely not a loss.
But if such a appearance is coupled with a famous talent, there is hope for climbing into a powerful family, such as Li Youxiang's family, being a concubine should be worthy of the lintel of the Li family, and they are still innocent people, and even have an official body, maybe they can be a noble concubine and a good concubine.
"If you want me to say, what's the pity," Mrs. Gu San endured it, but couldn't help but say sarcastically, "That painting must have been painted by Qiu Gongzi, how could that wild girl make any painting, maybe it was coerced by Qiu Gongzi's life-saving benefactor." ”
Gu San patted his thigh: "Surely, if she can draw, wouldn't I be able to win the championship!"
All:...... Is there anything to do with painting and winning the top prize?
However, it is obvious that Mrs. Gu's statement has been unanimously agreed by everyone, in fact, they didn't believe that Gu Ruxuan really could paint, and she could paint so well.
So Master Gu only regretted it a little, after all, the current reputation is also Gu Ruxuan's, and many things have become true if they are fake.
"Okay, don't mention the mourning star!" Old Madam Gu spoke, she always remembered the account of the beloved screen, and now she is still blocked when she looks at the third daughter-in-law, let alone the mourning star, oh, her heart hurts again, her screen ......
No, she had to think about happy things, turned her head and asked with a smile on her face: "Third child, hurry up, see when it says when you will go to Beijing to take up your post?"
Master Gu San also smiled instantly: "Early May, early May this year!"
"So, we're going to move to the capital?" Old Madam Gu was full of chrysanthemums, "I can finally reunite as a family!" The grievances of the three sons and only two sons are by their side for the New Year, and she doesn't want to suffer anymore.
Master Gu nodded: "Yes, mother, my son has already planned, these days, let's sort out the shops and fields in Linzhou, except for this house, everything that can change hands has been sold, March 3 is just the Qingqing Festival, let's leave for Beijing on that day, let's go to the capital to take root!"
"Huh? ...... It's all sold?" Old Madam Gu stammered a little, for the older generation, the fields are the lifeblood, if they are all sold...... It's very insecure.
"Mother, everything in the capital is expensive, if we want to gain a foothold in the capital, we must have a lot of silver, although we are rich, but we can't afford to spend a lot, besides, the future of the third brother ......" Master Gu paused and said, "But if you want to pile it up with silver, I'm afraid that no matter how much money you have, it won't be too much." ”
In addition, their Gu Mansion is in Linzhou, and no matter how many days they have, they can see the end, so it is better to go to the capital to fight.
The rays of sunlight in the afternoon cast mottled marks through the window lattice, and the figure of the bookcase struggling to write is thin and straight.
"Master, will you take a break?" Banxia persuaded, I don't know why the master has been holding up the pen in the past few days, and he must come to the Chengnan Manor.
Mingxuan turned a deaf ear, and once again stained the brush in her hand with dark green ink, yes, it was dark green ink.
This is the special method that Qiu Mingfu said, the method used to hide important news.
It is made by pounding several special herbs to extract the juice, and then mixing it with ink according to a certain proportion, and the handwriting written with this ink can be invisible.
It's not that Mingxuan doesn't want to rest, but she found that she always feels like she's in a trance lately, and she feels like she has to leave this body at any time and return it to the original owner.
Thinking of the rumors that everyone had circulated before, Miss Gu San's crazy heart, and thinking that even if she returned her body to the original owner, she could still know the original owner's every move, and couldn't help but think that it was better to let the original owner know some of the things he had done, so as not to be confused by the original owner.
So, Mingxuan immediately took advantage of the fact that she was still sober now, and according to Qiu Mingfu's method of transcribing the previous training plan, she picked up everything she could say from the moment she met the original owner's mother in Wanqing Courtyard to the recent events into this book.
After the last word was written, Mingxuan handed it to Banxia: "Banxia, I've been a little uncomfortable recently, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick recently," noticing Banxia's painful face, he comforted, "It's okay, there won't be a worry about life, it's just the same as before, there may be some problems with memory." ”
Mingxuan pointed to the book handed to Banxia and said: "Remember, this is a very important thing, I will hand it over to you for safekeeping now, I will take the initiative to ask you for this book every day, if I wake up one day and forget to ask for it, you will take the initiative to hand it over to me and tell me how to read this book." ”
Banxia nodded solemnly: "Okay, the slave knows." ”
Edict [19]: A document for the conferment of an officer, a letter of appointment.
