The next day, Yuyi sent her daughter to the palace to thank her, and gave out nearly 100 kaleidoscopes with great effort, and even the Queen Mother couldn't put it down. In the Jinluan Palace, the emperor held her filial five-clawed Nine Dragons gold-clad copper binoculars and kaleidoscopes, and joked happily, "What do you want this time?" ”

"You can inscribe a word to our housework."

"Just one? Don't want other shops? ”

"Danqing Pavilion?"

Uncle, do you dare to be ugly?

The emperor choked on, and pointed at her little nose and was speechless. However, it is still a pair of couplets with a big stroke, 'the ghost axe and the mysteries are changed by a thousand machines, and the ingenuity of the creation is better than the heavenly work', and the battalion was ordered to make a plaque and send it.

When the battalion commander Hong came in to obey the order, he saw Gu Ci sitting directly on the emperor's lap, and he also fed a piece of yellow dim sum into the dragon's mouth with his own hands, and he almost couldn't close his mouth. When I got home at night, I turned off the lights and lay down in the bed, so I told my wife Yin Yin that I must find a way to deal with my subordinate Mrs. Shilang, who was the mother of the third lady of the Gu family. At the end, he sighed with emotion, "I don't think the emperor has been so kind to his daughter." ”

***********************

The twenty-sixth year of Sejong's Layue came uneventfully, and there was no unexpected or bad news, except for Gu Yao's father and son, who couldn't come back, the others were as usual.

Yuyi was busy with family affairs and preparing for the marriage of her two sons. Gu Yi didn't have to go to the palace to study after the New Year, he couldn't see anyone all day long, and he didn't know where to go. Gu Ao and Gu Yi are still immersed in hard study. In addition to entering the palace or visiting Xiao Lu who is resident in Tiemei Temple from time to time, Gu Ci and Bajie idle down to nest winter.

But this year's entertainment is very much, from the first to the fourteenth day of junior high school, except for the candidates who should not be disturbed, Yuyi took Gu Yi to receive guests at home, and Gu Yi took Gu Ci out as a guest, and every day was not disappointed. Until the Shangyuan Festival, Gu Ci couldn't bear it, so he invited his mother and three brothers to go to Zhishuangzhai, which was specially closed for a day, to drink wine and enjoy fireworks, and have a good night's relaxation.

Before the first month, Yuyi settled the family affairs with the Wu family and the Ren family in a low-key manner.

Gu Ci didn't have time to give his second brother the opportunity to fall in love first and then get married, so he had to devote all his energy to preparing the test basket for the candidates. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone doesn't need her to worry about it, she has to prepare the seasoning block when she eats, separate the spicy and non-spicy ones, and put some spicy ones to warm up her body if the weather is bad. The meat of the cake and vegetables should be marinated to prevent the taste from changing, and the fresh vegetables should be marinated if they are not good. I thought of things like peanut and sesame paste, and I also prepared them. A copper-clad porcelain straw thermos cup, a large soup bowl that can be boiled and mixed, and a few small bowls, as well as a complete set of chopsticks, spoons and forks, and she also intimately prepared an inverted 'V' shaped anti-scald clip. As for what to wear, from thick wooden shoes, gloves to wool knee pads, and the mattress pads for sitting are all thick cotton pads, down cores and wool linings, and even a sleeping bag. Anyway, there are so many duck down and goose feathers on Zhuangzi that there is nowhere to put them, and these things in the satin pavilion have begun to sell well.

Gu Ao looked at the huge burden, both heartwarming and helpless, and finally brought it in.

She also asked the people of the Satin Pavilion to prepare the same thing and send it to Gu Ke, Gu Hong and Gu Xin, so that they didn't need to be left alone.

Gu Ao participated in the scene on February 9, and the night of the 10th suddenly cooled down, and on the 11th, many people with frostbite and fever were brought out. On the twelfth, Gu Ci waited at the gate of the Gongyuan with her heart, and Gu Xi and Gu Yi accompanied her.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, Gu Ao, who came out with the flow of people, saw Huang Chengcheng's princess honor guard at a glance, and the ink-dyed eyes rushed to his side, took the burden and helped him into Gu Ci's car.

Gu Ao couldn't talk to them, smelling the smell of mutton, he was suddenly so hungry that his eyes were full of stars, Gu Ao thoughtfully poured a bowl of mutton clear soup for him. A large piece of mutton and onions, from going out to boil until this time, the oil is all sucked off by the chicken minced chicken made of chicken breasts, the meat is crispy and delicious, and the milky white soup is fragrant. Gu Ao lay down and fell asleep after drinking, and he never woke up when he moved down to bed.

By the time he woke up the next day, it was lunchtime. In order to replenish his body, Gu Ci made all kinds of dishes that were beneficial to his brain. There are three fish alone, almond millet porridge, walnuts mixed with fungus, fried pig's head meat, peanut sesame paste, if it weren't for the fear that Yuyi wouldn't be able to accept it, she almost wanted to torture the cook to make pig brains to cook.

The first thing Gu Ao, who had eaten and drunk, did was to hug his sister and praise him, saying that the things she had prepared were really proper, he was not frozen at all, his whole body was very warm, and his finger-baring gloves did not delay writing. When I drank sesame paste at night, the fragrance was ten miles, and even the officials who patrolled the field were envious.

The overjoyed Gu Ci immediately took the peanut and sesame paste recipe to give gifts everywhere, especially picked a day off to go to the martial arts, and specially asked Gu Ao to pick it up.

***********************

The martial arts family is located in the Junzifang where hundreds of officials live, the houses here are not big, close to the Xihua Gate of the palace, a small house with three entrances, which is still enough for their family to live in, but it is really difficult to receive the princess's honor guard, so Gu Ci has never been invited to come before. If she hadn't wanted the two fiancés to meet this time, she wouldn't have bothered to cause trouble for others. Or Gu Xi gave her a good idea, divided the guards into four batches, each batch of twenty people, leaving only one group in the martial arts, one group patrolling in the outside of the house, and the other two groups went to the nearest West Market Gongqiao Pavilion to stay first, come to change shifts according to the hour, and then gather at the point of going home.

The Wu family received the news that Gu Ci was coming, and they were all waiting at home.

Wu Shangshu and his wife are both solemn and upright people, and they are a little worried about their daughter being the sister-in-law of the Yuanyi County Lord, who is the proud daughter of the sky, although she heard her daughter praise her a lot of good things, she is still afraid that the sister-in-law who is too high is not easy to deal with, and the girlfriend and sister-in-law are not the same thing after all. When I saw the real person, I felt that I had thought too much about it before. Such a delicate and beautiful little girl who doesn't look like a real person, softly and obediently greets and gives gifts, and apologizes for disturbing the people, who doesn't like it. Even Wu Shangshu couldn't help but smile and touched Gu Ci's head, making the martial arts brothers on the side stare at him.

Wu Shenqiu ignored Mrs. Su's reluctance to let go, took Gu Ci to his house, and solemnly thanked her first. When the eldest brother of the martial family, Wu Shenzhou, also bought a lot of warm down things in the Satin Pavilion, and Gu Ci's list was also shown to her, so this time it was quite smooth. I heard that not only were there a lot of people who came out that day, but after they came out, they fell ill again. There are few as easy as Gu Ao and Wu Shenzhou.

Gu Ci is here to be the pioneer of the second brother today, so he naturally leads the topic to Gu Ao. Wu Shenqiu's face was slightly red, and he poked her chubby face, "The family affairs have been decided...... Why are you saying so many good things today? ”

"This, you have to be willing, if it's like a stranger, it's not good after all."

“…… If you want to marry his girl in the capital, you have to go around Quzhuan Pond. ”

That's right. It sounds a little sour, it seems that the second sister-in-law likes the second brother quite much! Gu Ci was relieved, and picked up the snacks with a smile to eat and drink.

"Are you worried that I won't like your brother? Why don't you worry about me being in his eyes? Wu Shenqiu said jokingly.

"Your business is in the hands of the second brother, what am I worried about!"

Gu Ci adhered to the principle of focusing on selling his brother for twenty years, and began to talk to Wu Shenqiu about Gu Ao's preferences.

***********************

When it was time to go home as agreed, Gu Ao was accompanied by Wu Shenzhou and Wu Shenyang and waited at the second gate. The fiancé was generous when they met, but Wu Shenyang was a little shy and a little disobedient. After Gu Ao and Gu Ci said goodbye to Wu Shangshu and his wife, they made an appointment with Wu Shenzhou to invite their brothers and sisters to go to the spring, picked up Gu Ci and got into the car and left.

Wu Shenzhou, who returned to the house and sat down, was very surprised and said, "Jingxiang is really a favorite sister." ”

Wu Shenqiu disagreed, "Even the grandfather of the country is like this, doesn't it mean that even the emperor loves to hug Ah Luan?" ”

"Such a sensible little girl, I don't want to let go of it. The eldest princess Yuyi is really blessed to have such a caring little padded jacket. Mrs. Su echoed.

kissed her daughter and stopped doing it, "Mother, don't I be intimate?" ”

Mrs. Su snorted, "Although your father and I spoil you, we also teach you strictly." If you have three points to be favored like Ah Luan, and want to develop such a good temperament, I'm afraid it's impossible. ”

"Ah Luan has a clear vision, neither humble nor arrogant, and is a good boy." Wu Shangshu agreed with his wife's words very much, "Looking at the grandmothers and maids around her today, I think they are all servants of the Xiao Xie family, and they should not be from the Gu Mansion or the palace." ”

"Dad is right. But that's also Ah Luan's own struggle. We haven't been back to Beijing for a long time, and I only learned from Fuxiang that Ah Luan was not going well when he was a child, and he has only been fine in recent years. ”

Wu Shenyang asked, "But your body is not good?" ”

Mrs. Su glanced at her youngest son, and was joked by her sister that she wanted him to study hard so that he could go to the Protector's Mansion to propose marriage, but today she was uncomfortable when she saw the little girl, but unfortunately now she changes her relatives from time to time, and her sister marries in the past, and it will be difficult for him to marry in again.

"She was blind and lost her voice shortly after she was born, but she was cured by the rejuvenation of the master of the void. So before the age of six, no outsiders had seen her at all. ”

"It's rare to be sick for a long time without anger!" Wu Shangshu praised again.

"Mother Hu beside her said that Ah Luan has walked much harder than ordinary people since elementary school, even if she falls and is injured, she doesn't like to cry, and she doesn't love to be hugged, and Hu's mother hugs less, so Gu Jialang has developed this habit."

Wu Shenzhou said strangely, "Why did her grandmother say these words? ”

Wu Shenqiu explained, "It was a time when the lord of Yu County had a treat, and the lord of Jinjun saw Gu Qilang at the door and hugged Ah Luan out of the car, and made sarcastic remarks, Ah Luan was annoyed, and forced her to make a big salute to call her aunt, and also rewarded the grandmother of Zhongshan Wangfu with three slaps, saying that she had ill intentions, and she didn't squeak when she saw the Lord of Jinjun lose face, and directly asked the maids to stuff the lord and servant of Jinjun back into the carriage. ”

Hearing this, everyone laughed, and they couldn't see that the little county lord who smiled kindly and softly was quite majestic.

"Later, Lord Yu took advantage of Ah Luan's departure to ask Mother Hu, is it because Ah Luan's body is not strong enough, so the Gu family Langjun is so careful, we only know."

Mrs. Su praised, "This family is all painful, Qiu'er's marriage is really nowhere to be found with a lantern." It reassured me. ”

Wu Shenqiu didn't have much shyness, but said exaggeratedly, "I feel sad when I think of giving Ah Luan cheap to others in the future, I don't know how much the Gu family will dig into their hearts." ”

***********************

In April, Zhang Xingbang in Yangchun, Dayu's Jinshi only took 100 people, the first three people, the champion list looked at the flowers, the second class 37 people were Jinshi, and the remaining 60 people were the top three Jinshi.

The day before dyeing ink, she held the pillar of the apricot list early in the morning, Gu Ci was more direct, and ran to wait for the emperor to disperse, and before the outsiders of the Jinluan Hall had left, she went to the door and squatted.

The emperor reluctantly instructed Mu Wanqing to report the good news to the Queen Mother, and then took out the promised manuscripts of the hundred Jinshi and the comments of the master and handed them to her, pointing to the seventeen names in the second grade, which were Gu Ao's name.

Satisfied, Gu Ci went home with the emperor's reward.

When the Qingyi Yuan got the news, they were overjoyed, and Yuyi gave each person an extra two months of money, and asked people to prepare six baskets of copper coins to distribute to the children and the elderly outside the house.

Gu Ci lavishly added an extra month, and let all the properties under his name be discounted by eight days.

Gu Ao couldn't cry or laugh, Gu Yi joked to her, "If it's the champion, how many discounts?" ”

"Tanhua gives away wine, half price for the list, and the champion eats for free for one day!" Gu Xiaotuhao couldn't reach Gu Yi's shoulder, so he could only pat him on the arm and say, "Little brother, Seventh Brother doesn't count on it, it's up to you!" ”

The Protector's Mansion across the wall did not have such a warm atmosphere.

Gu Ke ranked seventy-two in the top three, and Tongjinshi, Gu Xin and Gu Hong did not make the list. Gu Hong just felt the atmosphere this time, and he didn't really plan to come back from the same jinshi, he would be killed by his father. Gu Xin heard that the things sent by Gu Ci were too big, so he only brought a few things, and he didn't do well in the exam due to cold and fever.

The second room was also happy, and the jubilant second lady gave money to the people to add food, and specially sent someone to thank Gu Ci. The subordinates of the Mansion all looked at Qingyi Courtyard and their eyes were hot. The salary is already high, and it will be paid for a few more months!

In addition to family members, there are many familiar names on the apricot list.

Wu Shenzhou's results were worse than Gu Ao's, ranking third in the second and third.

Sister Mosquito's newlywed husband won the last place in the second class, which is not bad!

The champion surnamed Gu, from Langya City, heard that after he won the champion, he first bathed and changed his clothes in the Danqing Pavilion, and begged the shopkeeper Jiang to allow him to incense the "Danqing Pavilion Preface" before going to the palace to the Qionglin banquet.

Bangyan's surname is Nong.

Tanhua's name is Song Yu.

No wonder the emperor ordered him to explore flowers!
