Bai Ko sent Gu Yun with a white eye, then got up and went to the table and took a pen and paper to write a letter to his eldest uncle, informing everyone who wanted to be reminded. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The palace chief returned home after finishing his errands, and when he heard the princess talk about the latest news, he also frowned, planning to discuss it with Gu Yun tomorrow, and at the same time, he also set up another person to check the housework of the Hua family, and only after the number of wives and children and related interests were checked clearly could he know what the motive of Hua Qingyu's initiative to show favor was.

Gu Yun also talked to his parents about this at night, so that his parents could be prepared in their hearts, so that they could send people in time if they needed manpower.

Early the next morning, Ning Peilan sent his cronies to deliver a letter to Tang Lin on behalf of Bai Ko, and handed the letter to the Tang family before they went out to do something.

The four bustard mothers and girls are important witnesses to the disaster relief in Dacheng Mansion, and their personal safety has long been taken care of by His Royal Highness the Prince, even if they are news dealers who claim to be omnipotent, it is difficult to inquire about matters that are classified as secrets and above by the imperial court, so even if Yang Mi is impatient, he must continue to wait patiently.

Time passed day by day, the day of the trial finally came, the night before Bai Ko personally cooked two tables of good wine and food, and together with the princess, I wished the palace chief and Gu Yun the title of the gold list.

After a few months, Gu Yun finally ate the craftsmanship of Bai Ko, after being full of wine and food, he went home happily to sleep, and the next morning, the family used the old lady's carriage to carry Gu Yun and Gu Jing, and then picked up the palace chief, took the luggage of the three people, and went to the tribute courtyard together.

The rules are still the same, the carriage cannot be parked directly outside the gate of the Gongyuan, it must be far away from the street, and the candidates walk to the gate of the Gongyuan with their luggage to line up, and they are released one by one.

Gu Daye Gu Yun'an is still the five pins of the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qing Officials Division, education and imperial examinations are his ministry, and he will try such a major matter, it is he who stands outside the gate of the Gongyuan to exercise the position of supervision, watching his son, nephew and palace chief Ji three people being inspected in turn, and walking into the gate from in front of him.

In the luggage that the candidates carry, almost everyone carries a hot water bottle, as long as it is the day of this kind of centralized examination, the Gongyuan itself will supply hot water, but this year is slightly different from previous years, after the candidates enter their own room, the first thing they do when they put down their luggage is to carry the hot water bottle out and turn on the water.

In the past, when there was no such thing, in this warm and cold February weather, it was difficult to drink hot water, even the children of the powerful did not have boiling water to drink anytime and anywhere, and generally took advantage of the opportunity to get rid of their hands and take a pot of boiling water back, and it was cold after a long time, and there were often unlucky people who were sent out of the tribute hospital because of their illness.

After Gu Yun and the three of them entered the Tribute Courtyard, they were separated because of the different numbers of the lottery, Gu Yun had participated in a meeting test, he had experience, and after entering his room, he calmly put down his bedding luggage, put on a hot water bottle and went to the boiling water room according to the guidance.

You have to queue up to turn on the water, regardless of whether you are powerful or civilian, but Gu Yun, the sons and brothers who stuffed money in advance, still have some extra preferential treatment, their boiling water is boiling water, and instant noodles and tea are suitable, while other people's boiling water is not necessarily, there are boiling and hot, and the water temperature depends on luck.

Gu Yun carried his hot water bottle back to the room, opened his luggage and took out a set of single tea sets, brewed a pot of tea first, then sorted out the cover, set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and finally drank the hot tea comfortably and closed his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the hustle and bustle outside to slowly fall silent.

Exam time is approaching.

The candidates entered the examination room, which decided their fate in April, and they were qualified to participate in the palace examination, so that they embarked on the road of life and had the opportunity to marry Bai Fumei in the capital.

The life of the people in the capital is going on as usual, and they have long been accustomed to the excitement once every three years.

Ning Peilan learned the news from Gan's that her second brother still succeeded in winning the property, in order for her sister to live comfortably and comfortably, Gan Yuwen was willing to spend money, when the court raided the house and confiscated the property, the house had been emptied, but Gan's own dowry furniture was ready-made, and there were also some idle furniture in the sister-in-law's house.

Although Mrs. Gu has a new house to live in, but the money is from her daughter-in-law's family, the money from the Ye Guogong Mansion was in her hands, except for her husband and son who took office and brought some money to herself, she didn't have a penny to buy a house, the owner is naturally not Gu Xu's name, she muttered in her heart but was helpless, thinking that when her husband and son are re-developed in the future, she will buy a new house and not live in the woman's house.

Mrs. Gu San also took a fancy to a few new houses in the confiscated properties sold by the imperial court, she was not as particular as a concubine, she only had one biological son, and the daughters under her knees were all going to get married, even Gu Shuo, when he grew up, he would have to stand on his own, so she didn't force a big house, enough for her to live with her son and daughter-in-law in the future, and she could live in Zhongfang, if her husband and son were promising, it would be auspicious to live anywhere.

The imperial court sold houses in batches, and it took time for craftsmen to repair the houses, although they were all houses that had been lived in before the confiscation, there were always places that fell into disrepair, and Mrs. Gu San let her family keep an eye on the movements of the government, and once she released the property she liked, she went to bid for it.

While waiting for Hua Qingyu's latest news, Bai Ko was busy with the business of the farm and the factory, and the stewards of the farm also rushed to the capital to attend the regular meeting once a month as agreed.

At this time, she received a notice from the Ministry of Works, giving her an address and asking her to look at the house.

Confused, Bai Ko went to the place mentioned in the address, which was Tianfufang by the moat, and the house she wanted to see was on the northwest corner, the back door was facing the tall square wall, and there was already a foreman of the Ministry of Works waiting for her outside the main gate.

Bai Ko greeted the other party, and then looked at the door in a daze.

"Mr. Bai, this is a house specially reserved for Mr. Bai, how many dignitaries want us to not let go, you must see it first. Take a look inside? The inside hasn't been touched yet, it's all as it is, and the above means that it will be renovated exactly as you want. ”

Bai Ko licked her lips, a little speechless, the foreman said everything about this, so this means that she can't do this house?!

"I thank you for your kindness, but I don't need such a big house by myself."

"But you are Mr. Bai, when you go out of the cabinet in the future, there must always be a banquet for guests, isn't it a place for the sedan chair to go out? A small house is not worthy of your identity. ”

"In other words, there are actually still small houses?"

"The small house is there, but it can't be sold to you, it's not what I said, the above means."

"How much is this house going to sell me?"

The foreman gestured, "Preferential price, eight thousand taels." ”

"Then how many slaves do I have to support this big house?"

"Well, there are almost a hundred people, mainly to clean the environment, so that there are more people, your own personal subordinates, that is your own casual, and then the housekeeper, the account room, the stewards and deacons at all levels, are indispensable."

"My monthly salary is only fifty taels of silver, and I support so many slaves, and my little money is not enough to pay their monthly expenses, not including the money they spend on eating, drinking, and Lazar every day."

Bai Ko rubbed her face, is it easy for her to make some money.
