Chapter 140: The Imperial Examination
She stopped walking forward, looked at the scenery in the garden of the palace, and said quietly: "As you said, I really didn't like the deep mansion compound in the ancient mansion before, and I didn't like everyone in the ancient mansion, and sometimes I hated myself because I was in that place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info but...... Later, my grandmother loved me and doted on me, which made me feel the love of my relatives for the first time, and my second brother believed in me and took care of me, which touched me very much. My sister-in-law treated me very sincerely, and my second sister did not reject me, and then even my father, who had always hated me, gradually accepted me, although I don't know if my grandmother and Uncle Wang still hate me, but now they are not targeting me anymore. The important thing is that I still have Zhenzhen by my side, and with Ling'er, I am very satisfied. ”
Shi Chengyue looked at Gu Ya silently and did not answer.
Gu Ya continued: "Chengyue, I used to feel like an abandoned person, but now I find that there are so many people around me to accompany me, grandmother, father, second brother, second sister, sister-in-law, Zhenzhen, Ling'er, forget it, in fact, unconsciously, my feelings have been rich, and many feelings have been connected unconsciously. In fact, the house is not as cold as imagined, because among so many people, there are always people they cherish, and there are always feelings they need. So now I don't reject the ancient mansion anymore. ”
Shi Chengyue was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Do you really think so?" ”
Gu Ya nodded.
Shi Chengyue stared at Gu Ya quietly, and then turned her head to look at the blooming begonia in the distance, the sunset and evening shine, reflecting this begonia in a different way gorgeous and blurry.

Gu Shuru's death did make Gu Ya's mood low for a while, but in the past few days, there has been good news in the scattered small buildings.
The results of this year's imperial examination have come out.
Zhang Meisheng took the third place in the exam, Tanhua!
This is undoubtedly an exciting piece of good news, Xiaoqiu must be very happy, Xiaoqiu has suffered for many months with Zhang Meisheng, and now she has finally come out. Now that Zhang Meisheng has passed the examination for Tanhua, Xiaoqiu will be Mrs. Zhang in the future, which is a great happiness for Xiaoqiu.
When the old lady and the others learned that the poor sour scholar who Gu Ya married Xiaoqiu that day was this year's Tanhua, they were also surprised and happy, after all, Xiaoqiu was a girl who went out of the ancient mansion, and the girl's husband had face, so this ancient mansion naturally had face. The old lady also kept praising Gu Ya for having vision, and after Gu Weiyong learned about this, he also praised Gu Ya with a good eye.
Regarding this matter, Gu Ya just smiled silently, which was also Xiaoqiu's own intention and Zhang Meisheng's own efforts.
The ancient mansion has always experienced some unpleasant things this year, and this Xiaoqiu incident can be regarded as bringing some joy to the ancient mansion.
Now Zhang Meisheng was assigned to the Hanlin Academy by the emperor, and was appointed to study for a bachelor's degree from the fourth grade, which happened to be assigned to Shi Chengyue's subordinates to manage and compile all things. It doesn't matter if Zhang Meisheng was assigned to the Hanlin Academy, at least in the same place as Shi Chengyue, so that Zhang Meisheng and Shi Chengyue will get along more days in the future.
Gu Ya originally wanted to go to see Zhang Meisheng and Xiaoqiu earlier. But in the end, it is not good to go out, so when Gu Weiyong was free to visit Zhang Meisheng, Gu Ya took Zhenzhen and Ling Er to Zhang's Mansion with Gu Weiyong.
When Gu Ya took Zhenzhen and Ling Er to enter the hanging flower gate of Zhangfu, Xiaoqiu learned that Gu Ya was coming, so she hurriedly came out to greet her, at this time Xiaoqiu was wearing a honey-colored jacket, rose purple shoulders, and below was a blue-green gold embroidered butterfly love flower silk cotton skirt, this dress was worn on Xiaoqiu, adding a bit of beauty and gentleness. Xiaoqiu welcomed the Gu Ya people all the way into the house. Zhang Meisheng also came out to see Gu Ya, at this time Zhang Meisheng was wearing homely dark blue plain clothes, he was already handsome, after changing the poor scholar costume, the handsomeness on his face became more and more prominent.
The house where Zhang Meisheng lives cannot be compared with the General's Mansion, but the layout here is also elegant, and the place is quiet, which is the style that Quaint likes. Seeing the changes in their lives, Gu Ya felt relieved from the bottom of her heart.
Zhang Meisheng didn't say much, but it could be seen that he also respected Gu Ya. Xiaoqiu is a friend of Gu Ya and Zhenzhen, but Ling Er doesn't know Xiao Qiu, Gu Ya introduced Ling Er to Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu looked at Ling Er, and smiled at Gu Ya: "Miss's girls are all like this, if I am still by Miss's side, I really dare not see anyone." ”
Ling Er knew that Xiaoqiu was praising herself for being beautiful, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "You are also very beautiful, I just saw your husband, he is handsome, and with you, he just happens to be what he looks like." ”
She wanted to say "talented and beautiful", but she didn't remember this idiom, so she had to say it indiscriminately.
Xiaoqiu saw that Ling Er was beautiful, lively and cute, and liked it in her heart, knowing that Ling Er liked to eat, so she asked the girls to prepare melons and fruits. So Xiaoqiu talked to Gu Ya and Zhenzhen again, and Ling Er went to eat by herself.
When mentioning Gu Shuru's matter, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but feel sad, and said, "The eldest lady left at such a young age, and I was sad for a long time when I heard the news. ”
At this time, Zhenzhen said: "So Xiaoqiu, you have to pay attention when you are pregnant with a child, first, you can't move often when you're pregnant, and second, you can't fall." ”
Hearing this, Gu Ya couldn't help but smile and scolded Zhenzhen: "Look at what you said, how will Xiaoqiu be angry now?" Zhang Gongzi likes Xiaoqiu as much as he likes eyeballs. Xiaoqiu couldn't be happy yet, how could she be angry? ”
When Zhenzhen heard this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss is right, but I don't know what to do." ”
Xiaoqiu's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help lowering her head, her mouth full of warm and happy smiles.
After staying here for a while, Gu Ya heard that Gu Weiyong was leaving, so she left as well.
When he went back, Gu Ya tried to ask Gu Weiyong about this chapter of Mei Sheng's image, Gu Weiyong didn't like Wenchen very much, he preferred to like military generals, but now Gu Weiyong is not so extreme. I don't know what changed Gu Weiyong's concept, and today's Gu Weiyong is not so repulsive to civil officials.
When it comes to that chapter of Mei Sheng, Gu Weiyong didn't make too many comments, but he also nodded, and only said: "It's much better than many civil officials in the court who can only play tricks." ”
Although there is only one sentence, it can be heard that Gu Weiyong is still somewhat sure of this chapter of Mei Sheng.
…………………………………………………………………………
The ancient mansion is now a little busy with Gu Wanru's affairs.
Originally, Gu Fu wanted to marry Gu Wanru to Runan Wangfu earlier, but he didn't expect Gu Shuru to die in childbirth. Now the ancient mansion and the Runan royal mansion have just died. Mrs. Zhou thought that since this was the case, she could only postpone Gu Wanru's marriage until the spring of next year.
It's okay, it's been an eventful year as well. I am only looking forward to Gu Wanru's marriage next year, and I am full of joy.
Mrs. Zhou asked Gu Wanru in private what she meant, Gu Wanru has been immersed in the grief of Gu Shuru's death, and when Mrs. Zhou talked about her marriage, Gu Wanru only said: "Everything is decided by the mother, and Wanru has no objection." ”
Mrs. Zhou has always disliked Gu Wanru's weak temperament, but Gu Wanru is her own daughter in the end, Gu Wanru is so depressed, when Mrs. Zhou thought of Gu Shuru, she also became sad, and just sighed.
In addition to Gu Wanru, who fell into sorrow, there was also Yuwen Xiyu.
On this day, after Gu Ya went to the old lady to ask for peace, she and Shu Yue went to her Huanan courtyard, and when the two of them inadvertently mentioned that Gu Shuru when they spoke, Shu Yue couldn't help but sigh and said: "In the past, we all said that Shuru and the eldest aunt were not in harmony, and it was wrong for the two to be together, but I didn't expect that once Shuru really went, my uncle would be so sad." ”
At this time, Gu Ya sat on the Nanmu chair next to Shu Yue, and when she heard Shu Yue say this, Gu Ya also sighed lightly and said: "It seems that those harmony and discord are just appearances, and the two of them like each other in their hearts." ”
Shu Yue nodded, and sighed again: "That being said, once the other party is dead, isn't it too late to know how important the other party is in his mind?" I heard that the current eldest aunt can't even bear to look at Xuemei, and the person seems to have changed, which makes Princess Yang very worried. ”
Gu Ya gently tugged at the silk in her hand, thinking about the Yuwen recitation, and sighed a little in her heart.
Shu Yue played with a gold-inlaid jade bracelet on her wrist in her hand again, and said contemplatively: "Speaking of which, Shuru gave birth to a daughter, she has been married to Yuwen Xiyu for three years, and she finally got pregnant, but she was born with a daughter, it seems that Princess Yang loves Shuru on the surface, but I am afraid that she does not want to see Shuru in her heart." ”
Gu Ya looked at the silk embroidered with lotus flowers, and couldn't help nodding: "I can't say, the eldest sister is the concubine of the General's Mansion, and Princess Yang naturally wants to give face to the General's Mansion." In the past, the eldest sister had a bad temper, so the princess did not arrange for the eldest aunt to take a concubine at that time, and now that the eldest sister has gone, I am afraid that Princess Yang will have to renew the strings for the eldest aunt. There are three unscrupulous, no queen is the greatest, hey, I just hope that the eldest brother-in-law will marry a virtuous woman again, just don't marry a woman who is too scheming, otherwise the second sister will go to the palace in the future, and it will be difficult to adapt to the second sister's temperament, and the eldest sister's daughter Xuemei will also have a hard time. ”
Shu Yue joked: "Since Shuru is so worried about Wanru, she doesn't have to match Wanru and Ximo Gongzi from the beginning, and directly follow the example of Empress E's daughter-in-law, both sisters are married to the eldest aunt, first, Wanru has a home, second, the eldest aunt's sadness is less, and third, Xuemei will be taken care of." ”
Gu Ya smiled and sighed: "You think really well, but think about it, if you let the eldest sister and the second sister marry the eldest brother-in-law, even if the eldest sister and the second sister are willing, my father and mother will not agree." ”
Shu Yue said with a smile: "So I'm just joking, now the matter of Wanru and Ximo Gongzi is almost settled, and I have to marry Wanru in the spring of next year." ”
Gu Ya sighed lightly and said, "I just hope that the second sister will not fall into grief for a long time because of the death of the eldest sister at that time." (To be continued.) )
