Li Yu has always been well-dressed and well-fed, and there is no shortage of vulgar things, even if his food is not as good as the famous family, he doesn't feel that he is inferior to the children of the family.

Li Yu, who was concentrating on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, never thought that the Hou Mansion had a difficult family, and he couldn't even afford the medicinal materials of his father and brother.

He used to despise dung and gold.

Mrs. Ninghou saw that her son's face was pale, and she was a little worried that Li Yu was worried, so she got up and helped her son who was hit by the cruel reality to sit down:

"Yu'er, it's not that the family can't eat and drink, no matter how we say that our Ninghou Li family is also a distant relative of the royal family and a hero of the founding of the country...... It's just that the Li family is not as rich as Yu'er wants. ”

She needs to worry about the future, Li Yu can't afford to take care of the housework, she has always been proud of her son, and she can't bear to tarnish her son's talent because of vulgar things.

The son is very talented in calligraphy and painting, dignified appearance, handsome appearance, and is recognized as a jade son in the imperial capital.

She was reluctant to let Li Yu suffer and suffer, as long as Li Yu could inherit the title of Marquis Ning and marry a daughter-in-law who could live a good life and had a rich dowry, her son could live a comfortable and honorable life in this life.

Even if Miss Guo wins Li Yu's heart again, she will be obedient to her, and she will never nod her head and let Miss Guo, who is not from the right background, enter the door.

For the sake of her son's second half of his life, she first aimed at Gu Mingnuan...... Although Gu Yan's family is not rich in money, Mrs. Jiang takes a fancy to Gu Yan's father and daughter, as long as Mrs. Jiang prepares a decent dowry for Gu Mingnuan, it will be enough for Ninghou Mansion to eat for a lifetime.

It is precisely because she is calculating that she knows that the Jiang family has always had business dealings with her son-in-law Lu family, and every sum of silver is tens of thousands of taels.

Gu Yan was reused by Emperor Chu again, and his career was proud.

Li Yu will have a father-in-law to take care of him in the future.

Later, she found out that Gu Mingnuan was too shrewd, Gu Yan was already a person that their Ninghou Li family couldn't climb, and the Jiang family also made it clear that they were not optimistic about this marriage.

Mrs. Ninghou didn't want her pampered son to be under the control of his wife, so she fell in love with Gu Mingxin, who was one level worse than Gu Mingnuan.

Although she is not ashamed of Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng is a very rich master, and she only has one daughter, Gu Mingxin, it seems that Gu Cheng only has such a daughter in this life, and all the money he earns has to be Gu Mingxin's dowry?

Gu Mingxin was born in a businessman, and he didn't dare to show Li Yu's face when he married into Ninghou's mansion. is surnamed Gu again, from Nanyang Gu's family, Gu Mingxin is Mrs. Ninghou and does not lose the face of the Li family.

I thought about it well, but my son didn't approve of her hard work.

She felt aggrieved.

"Mother. I can listen to your little sister if you don't marry it. Li Yu's eyes changed, "I can also participate in the imperial examination and get a ...... from birth."

Mrs. Ninghou exploded when she heard this, and her words were extremely fast, "How can you be a dignified prince of Ninghou to compete for fame with students from a poor family?" I must not let you lose your identity. ”

As long as Li Yu inherits the title. It is the hereditary marquis of the imperial capital.

Li Yu himself was not willing to compete for fame and fortune with the children of the Han family, and when he heard Mrs. Ning Hou say this, he instantly pressed his mind to take the road of the imperial examination, and said: "Don't do superfluous things in the future." ”

"Jade ......"

"I will marry a wife that satisfies you."

Li Yu didn't like Gu Mingxin at all, he was only affected by dreams and only had a good impression of Gu Mingnuan.

Fang treated Gu Mingxin well, but it was just his nature, and he couldn't see the girl hurt.

Mrs. Ninghou moved her lips, and finally nodded with a sigh, Li Yu promised not to marry Miss Guo to make her very satisfied, and she had to change Li Yu slowly. If she pushes it too hard, she will let her son be separated from her.

Back in the study, Li Yu thought about how to make money.

Without silver and status, what did he do to impress the Gu family?

He is good at calligraphy and painting, can identify Wenbao, but never thought about the way to make money, he has always been short of silver as long as he goes to the account room to get it.

After thinking hard all night and not thinking of a proper way to make money, Li Yu was a little discouraged.

In fact, even the Yushu son of the Xie family in Longxi is ready to enter the imperial examination, and he is far inferior to Xie Jue.

Xie Jue studied until the second half of the night, when the imperial examination was approaching. He hopes to win the top spot with real talent and learning.

In the past, his mind was mostly used to cultivate his taste in calligraphy and painting, and he rarely worked hard to read the subset of scriptures and history, thinking about governing the family and the country. The avenue of the flat world.

Reading more practical books, Xie Jue can better reflect on his past life.

In addition to the fact that he is too high and does not know people clearly, it is more that he only has empty talk except for Yushu Gongzi.

Qinqi, calligraphy and painting are just a small way, which cannot let him take root and gain a foothold in the court.

When the Xie family was down. His fame and beauty will become the plaything of the superiors, and he will not want to be treated despicably anymore, he will have to be self-reliant.

Ever since he became involved in the Xie family, his father often wrote to ask for his opinion.

His opinion could not determine the direction of the Xie family at this time, but he was already able to make his voice heard in the Xie family.

Mother and younger brother...... Don't dare to fool him at will anymore.

It was very painful to reflect on the previous life, and it made him very uncomfortable to be trapped in this life, but Xie Jue did not flinch, no matter how much he didn't like it, he had to go on.

After marrying Gu Mingfei, the burden on his shoulders will be heavier, and he only hopes that Gu Mingfei can ...... Forget it, she just needs to follow herself honestly.

Xie Jue didn't expect Gu Mingfei to help him.

******

The day of the sacrifice came as promised, and the night before, Gu Mingnuan was very worried, and I don't know who stuffed a letter into her house.

She tore open the letter and glanced at it, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips, which turned out to be Xiao Yang's letter asking her for help.

It said that she should not help Concubine Zhaoxian come up with ideas, Xiao Yang's business has lost 20% of her business this year because of Concubine Zhaoxian.

"Who wants the money you make?"

Gu Mingnuan whispered disgusted, but he remembered every word on the letter clearly, would Xiao Yang, who has always been omnipotent, also have a time to ask for help?

She must write it down, and she will shame him in the future.

Thinking so, she fell asleep, not thinking about the sacrifice to heaven at all.

When I got up early in the morning, the palace maids such as the waiter felt that Gu Ming's heating was very good, and secretly admired, Miss Gu was worthy of being the Miss of the Gu family in Nanyang, and this calmness of honor and disgrace alone was not something that ordinary people could do.

If you change people, you will definitely be nervous and anxious because of the Celestial Dance.

After the palace maids served her to freshen up and put on makeup, they were all stunned by the beauty of the girl in the mirror.

Even Gu Mingnuan was not surprised.

It turned out that she was not suitable for red and heavy makeup, and her solemn and solemn clothes set off her stunningly.

Gu Mingnuan touched the mirror lightly, and the beautiful and vulgar girl in the mirror moved, it really was her?!

When did she become so pretty?

The waiter praised: "Concubine Zhaoxian has a good eye. ”

Gu Ming's warm clothes, the upper and lower jewelry, and even the rouge gouache applied were all arranged by Concubine Zhaoxian herself.

At the same time, Xiao Yang squinted his eyes, and the handsome faces of the Jianghuai and Jiangen brothers were covered with a layer of sincere fear.

"I listen to your advice." Xiao Yang said the word "Jianyì" very seriously, "Show weakness to her...... If she misunderstood in the future...... Hum. ”

A humming word made their brother tremble. (To be continued.) )
