Chapter 1049: Family
Gu Yun bounced home, and the gate was still blocked by the neighbors who came to congratulate, so he turned around, went back to the side alley of the kitchen, and entered the house through the back door of the kitchen, and handed the menu written by Bai Ko to Zeng Zhu, the kitchen manager.

The house was divided, Zeng Zhu stood firmly on the side of the long house, the second lady Gu completely lost control of this wedding cook at that time, Zeng Zhu no longer respected the old master, and only served the masters of the long room as her master, Gu Yun gave her the menu, and she recognized Bai Ko's handwriting, and Zeng Zhu would do her best without too many instructions, and she did not dare to change it indiscriminately.
After a simple explanation with Zeng Zhu, Gu Yun went back to Zhongming Courtyard to rest, changed into gorgeous clothes and went to the main hall in the front yard to entertain guests, Gu Jing had already greeted many decent guests there, and there were also female relatives of official eunuchs in the inner house who came to congratulate him, and his third aunt was also socializing with the eldest lady in Jicheng Hall.
Everyone was busy until nearly noon, the guests finally gradually few, took a nap, the family went out, sent the good news letter to the relatives' house, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is a new round of congratulations and banquets.
Gu Chan and Yang Mi naturally also received the good news of the Yeguo Mansion, Gu Yun and Gu Jing are both on the list, the three brothers are all Jinshi, and their parents and ancestors are also serious Jinshi, which is enough for the historians to write the glory of history with a large amount of pen and ink.
But for Yang Mi, who was degraded to a white body, such good news really hurt his eyes.
If it weren't for last year's lawsuit, he would have been one of the candidates this year, with his consistent results, maybe he would have hoped to be on the list, but the result ended like this, the glory of the family, the expectations of the elders, and his future were all gone.
Thinking of these things, Yang Mi's hatred for Gu Yun added to Mu Sanfen even more, which had reached deep into the bone marrow and integrated into the blood.
In the evening, after nearly a month in the official office, Master Gu finally went home, and after a good freshening, he sat in a warm and comfortable room, drinking tea leisurely, chatting with his wife and learning about the current situation at home.
Mrs. Gu naturally told her husband about her son's attitude in the morning, and Master Gu didn't care about Bai Ko's imagination of his husband and wife as so cruel, he was only a little surprised by Gu Yun's words that he made money to support his family and was as beautiful as a flower.
"He's as beautiful as a flower? A pig that looks as beautiful as a flower, isn't that still a pig?! ”
"My son is stimulated, and today he was pried into the corner of the wall in front of him."
"Bai Ko is so capable, it's common for other men to fall in love with it, my fair lady, good gentleman, who will pry the corner?"
"Qing Wang Gong Heng."
"King Qing? Oh, I probably know what it was for. ”
"King Qing wants to take Bai Ko to the south."
"Well, if you have the vision and publicly announce your cooperation with Bai Ko, King Qing's chances of winning will increase."
"Why is the South so special all of a sudden?"
"The southern sea is the hardest hit area of smuggling, and most of the goods smuggled in by Dacheng Mansion come from the south along the coastline, and the imperial court wants to take this opportunity to put a king of Zhennan, and bring the southern coastal area into the border, and open up the barrier from the inland to the southernmost coast, after the coastline is connected, the waterway from Dacheng Mansion to the capital can be used again, and it has nothing to do with smuggling."
"Yes, if you do it like this, all the bad things that are now will become good things in the future."
"Well, King Qing's mother, Concubine An, was originally from the southern clan, and she was one of the best beauties when she was young, King Qing wanted to be the king of Zhennan for his reason, there was the support of his grandfather, the location was favorable and the people were on his side, and other competitors were inferior to him here, if he got the support of Bai Ko again, took her to the south, and used business as a cover to do things such as lurking, spying, co-opting, and plotting against him, a few years later, this king of Zhennan might really be his."
"King Qing is young, but he also has great ambitions."
"King Yu lost power, no one can shake the prince's throne, rather than being an idle king in the capital who has nothing to do to eat and drink to death, it is better to leave the capital to fight, and if you fight well, you can also leave a foundation for future generations, and you can also leave a name in history, and future generations will commemorate his great achievements, and will not compare him with those mediocre princes."
"So our son is in a hurry, and as soon as he comes back, he will announce to me that no one is allowed to stop him and Bai Ko, our future daughter-in-law must be her, and it is useless for the family to object, he has money now, and he can fully support the wedding expenses alone, and the family has no way to take him."
"The question is, does our son know how to get along with girls? Bai Ko has always been his handmaid, he won't look at Bai Ko with the eyes of his servant, right? ”
"Don't worry, no, Bai Ko will beat him to death."
"Oh, that's good, then let them go, he deserves any setbacks and lessons, if he can't bear it here, how will he carry the dark side of officialdom in the future."
Of course, Ye Guogong and his wife are not interested in watching their son's jokes, but when there are jokes, the two of them do not contradict each other, Gu Yun will try to be on the list, indicating that the Ye Guogong Mansion will be prosperous in the next few decades, and it will be a pastime to watch a few jokes.
Gu Chen was also happy with the good news that his brother would be on the list, but he was a little lonely when he thought that he had not been admitted to the exam, so he studied behind closed doors in the house.
Gu Yun was also too tired this day, after dinner, he said goodnight to the elders and went back to the bedroom to rest early, there are new visitors tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow there will be a banquet for relatives and friends at home, so he has to be busy at home these days.
The next day, Bai Ko went to the workshop to busy her step by step, and announced to the workers and subordinates the good news that Gu Yun would try to make the list, so everyone was rewarded and rejoiced.
The palace chief and his wife spent the night in the palace of King Yan, and only then did they return to their own home, and as soon as they arrived home, they began to be busy entertaining visitors, and the eunuchs in the same square often walked around, Gu Yun and Gu Jing also specially went to the palace to congratulate the palace chief, and Ning Peilan went to the Yeguo Mansion to congratulate Mrs. Gu.
Yang Mi and Gu Chan went to the sister-in-law's house to see their mother, here they also got the news yesterday, Gan Shi notified her brother and sister-in-law after reading the letter, wrote a gift list overnight, and sent someone to go to the street early in the morning to procure, Gan Yuwen also instructed his wife to prepare a gift, Gu Yun will be the younger generation of the Hanlin Academy in the future, Gan Yuwen as a senior naturally has to take care of it more, and the business relationship will start from now on.
The three of them on the side of the second lady Gu are also preparing congratulatory gifts, Gu Xu will try to be on the list and the palace pilot as the second-class jinshi, and the long room and the third room have given generous gifts, now is the time to return the gift, the men's career prospects have to rely on their brothers, so even if the second Mrs. Gu is dissatisfied with the contradiction between the separation of the family and the concubine, she is still very willing to pay for this gift, and she doesn't want to be said that she is even stingy with this.
Everyone was busy, the time of the day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day of the list, and a banquet was held in the Yeguo Mansion, feasting relatives and friends, celebrating the two brothers in the mansion on the list, and wishing them good results in the next palace examination.
