This year's ban in the spring is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for students who are hanging beams and thorns and dreaming of rising steadily.

On the day the news came out, many students gathered in the ministry on the second day, and surrounded the ministry with water.

Gu Yanzhen did not allow Gu Xiuzhi to go out.

Gu Xiuzhi didn't want to make trouble.

But he was sluggish, and he was in a trance, sitting without speaking.

Gu Yanzhen didn't know the inner reason, so he comforted him: "...... There is a big event in the court, and in two years, Enko will definitely be added. How young are you? Study hard, and you will definitely be able to be named on the gold list in the future, and then serve the court. ”

Gu Xiuzhi didn't hear his father's words.

He sat in silence.

Gu Yanzhen didn't care much. He himself was also selected for the lifting of the person back then, but he gave up because he couldn't endure hardships and didn't want to take the exam, so he couldn't understand his son's thoughts, thinking that the child was the same as him, and he didn't care about it in his heart.

After persuading his son a few words, Gu Yanzhen went out.

When his father walked out, Gu Xiuzhi's shoulders collapsed.

He buried his face in his palm and didn't move for a long time.

Then, a slight shrug of his shoulders can be clearly seen.

He didn't want to wait three years anymore.

It's so uncomfortable to live in this home.

But now, who is he going to beg?

He cried for a long time before he remembered his new uncle.

Gu Xiuzhi suddenly sat up straight.

He wiped his red eyes and stood up. He's going to find Uncle.

He remembered that his seventh brother-in-law, King Luyang, had told him that a person like him could be a small county magistrate. Like the Gu family, it is easy to ask the uncle to help him, and it is easy to choose a county order for him.

He is willing to go to remote places, as long as he can leave home.

He couldn't wait.

Then he thought: What is he?

Uncle doesn't necessarily remember his nephew.

The family is willing to help him speak, except for his father, who is his seventh sister.

My father was a little afraid of my uncle, and I was probably reluctant to ask for it. Gu Xiuzhi didn't want his father to be embarrassed.

Although the seventh sister is the daughter of her mother-in-law Song, she doesn't hate him as a younger brother, she is willing to watch her brothers be good.

The seventh sister is the princess of Luyang again, and the uncle gives face to the king of Luyang, and he can also listen to the seventh sister's sentences.

"Feng Tian, fetch water to wash my face." He rushed to the door and shouted to the servant who served him.

The little guy pushed the door in and said yes.

Clean-faced and changing, Gu Xiuzhi went out.

Before going out, he thought that the seventh sister was often on his mother's side. And not in the palace annex. Then he called out to the scholar again. Let him go over and ask first.

The scholar quickly turned back and said that the princess did not come over today, and was in the annex.

Gu Xiuzhi just went.

****

It has reached the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.

Gu Jinzhi remembered the last time he had the Lantern Festival in the palace. It was seven years ago.

That time they guessed the lantern riddle, Gu Jinzhi was the most clumsy, and he was afraid of guessing wrong, and he was shaken out by Zhu Zhongjun in front of him. Now that I think about it, it's a little warm.

She's barely in shape today.

The children were all there for her, talking to her.

I heard that I will also enter the palace tomorrow, and Yan Ying is very happy.

“…… Mother, there are a lot of fun things in the imperial grandmother's place. Yan Ying said happily, "There is a butterfly." It's so big, the imperial grandmother said, and the next time I go home, she will give it to me. ”

In the Queen Mother's Renshou Palace, there is a butterfly shelf in the side hall. There was a body the size of an adult rooster, made of tired silk, with thin eyelashes shaved with gold, and the dust was visible, trembling, and lifelike.

That's the treasure of Gangnam's tribute.

It is difficult to sturdy such a large and thin butterfly, and it is very challenging to make a craft, and the old craftsmen in Beijing can't make it.

The Queen Mother liked it very much, so she placed it in the side hall.

Yan Ying arrived at Renshou Palace and walked around, and he took a fancy to it.

The Queen Mother is not reluctant to do such a thing, but it is easy to break as soon as she moves, let alone carry it to Luzhou. If it was given to Yanying, it would be a waste of things, so he prevaricated the child with words.

Where do you know, Yan Ying always remembers.

Gu Jinzhi laughed, took Yan Ying in his arms, and said with a smile: "This is not good." That butterfly is the emperor's grandmother's beloved thing, and Yan Ying can't want it. ”

"Why? The royal grandmother said she wanted to give it to me. Yan Ying was puzzled.

Gu Jinzhi smiled, thought about it again, and said, "The tiger head shoes that my mother made for you, you give one to each of your brother and third brother, okay?" ”

Gu Jinzhi once made a pair of tiger head shoes and sleeping shoes for Yan Ying, and Yan Ying loved it very much. Although it is a bit bulky, Yan Ying likes it very much, and she wears it every day when she sleeps, and even brings it to the capital.

That's what he loves the most.

As soon as she heard this, Yan Ying immediately puffed out her mouth and looked at her brother and third brother with dissatisfaction.

Then he thought again, "Mother, I gave it to the eldest brother and the third brother, can you do it for me again?" ”

Gu Jinzhi shook his head.

Yan Ying also shook her head: "I won't give it." ”

"Then you can't ask for the Imperial Grandmother's things." Gu Jinzhi took the opportunity to say.

Yan Ying hesitated for a long time before she said, "But the imperial grandmother is willing to give me ......"

"The imperial grandmother loves you, so she is willing to give it to you. The imperial grandmother loves that butterfly like the tiger head shoes that your mother made for you. Gu Jin said, "If someone has to ask for your shoes, are you happy?" ”

"Not happy." Yan Ying immediately said nervously, "Mother, who wants my shoes?" ”

Then, he glared fiercely at Lao San Yanshao.

He is very smart, he knows the temper of his eldest brother Yanshan, and he will not rob him of things with him everywhere, and the only one who will rob him more is Lao Sanyanshao.

Because Yan Shao is still young and ignorant, every time he sees Yan Ying holding something fun in his hand, he will ask for it. Instead of anything important, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun will persuade Yan Ying to give Yan Shao to learn to share and be friendly.

Yanying is very domineering.

Gu Jinzhi taught him many times not to fight for everything, and to let his younger brother appropriately.

"No one wants your shoes, and a gentleman doesn't take away people's love." Gu Jin's way.

"Mother, mother......" Yan Shao stumbled on the side for a long time, and Yan Shan supported him. He fell twice, and now he fell again, crying in pain.

Gu Jinzhi asked Yanying to play by herself, and she hugged Yanshao.

"You and your brother go to play, my mother wants to rest for a while......" Gu Jinzhi was a little headache by his three sons. She gently rubbed Yan Shao's sore knee and said to Yan Ying and Yan Shan.

Yan Ying saw that Gu Jinzhi was still holding Yan Shao, so she said, "Mother, isn't the third brother going?" ”

Gu Jinzhi put Yan Shao on the ground. Let Yan Ying take Yan Shao and say, "The third brother will go too!" ”

Yan Ying felt balanced at this time.

Waiting for the three sons to breathe, Gu Jinzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her waist was a little sore.

The condition of this pregnancy continues, I don't know if this child is noisy, or the carriage fatigue in the previous two months, which made her body worse......

As soon as she wanted to lie down and rest for a while, the little maid on the second door came in and said, "Princess, the eighth uncle is here......

Gu Jinzhi had to cheer up again.

She asked the maid to invite Gu Xiuzhi in.

She thought about it for a while, and remembered that Zhu Zhongjun said the night before yesterday that the imperial court had banned this year's Enke. It was moved to three years later. The emperor was not at ease and handed over the responsibility of taking scholars to the crown prince.

Gu Xiuzhi seemed to want to pass the exam. Went to study at Hallym Academy. Stand on your own.

Gu Jinzhi also knew his situation.

Gu Xiuzhi has been preparing for the spring festival for so long, and it is about to be canceled, but he is afraid that he has nowhere to complain if he has suffering in his heart.

She felt that Gu Xiuzhi was not bored because she didn't have to take the exam, so she came to her to chat.

There must be a reason.

Gu Jinzhi thought of when he was raising a baby in Luzhou. I always feel lonely, and I don't even have personal visitors. Now that I think about it, I didn't know how to cherish it at that time.

Now it's time to think about a clean baby.

Compared with the last time her sister-in-law came, she felt okay today, but she was just messed up by the children, a little tired, but her mind was spiritual.

She got up and asked the maid to get her a silver-red coat to put on.

The maid invited Gu Xiuzhi directly to the banquet living room in the main courtyard.

Gu Jinzhi also rushed over.

Brother Xiu saluted her, and the sister and brother were polite.

“…… I heard that Enco will not be opened this year. There are also people who go to the ministry to make trouble. Gu Jin said, "You didn't go, did you?" ”

"I don't, Seventh Sister." Gu Xiuzhi said, "It's useless to go." If the troublemaker is caught. If you lose your fame, you won't be able to take the exam again after three years......"

Gu Jinzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the courage of the horseman." It seems brave, but it's actually stupid. If you really have backbone, don't take the road of scientific research. Since you have taken this path, you must understand the rules and abide by the rules. ”

Gu Xiuzhi said again and again.

Gu Jinzhi's point of view coincides with his.

His affection was a little relaxed: "I think so too......"

“… It is normal for students to have grievances. Gu Jinzhi said again, "Thousands of miles to the capital, some people almost come from home. If you return empty-handed like this, you can't stand your father. But making trouble is not the solution. In three years, not to mention the increase in Enko, the number of scholars will definitely be doubled to make up for the scholars and appease the scholars of the world. ”

"Really?" Gu Xiuzhi vaguely had this kind of guess, but when he heard the seventh sister say it, he felt different.

His mood brightened.

Gu Jinzhi said with a smile: "There is no ten, but also seventy or eighty." ”

She saw Gu Xiuzhi smile, and asked him again, "Brother Xiu'er, what about you?" The seventh sister knows that you have always had great ambitions, and now you have to wait for another three years, what are your plans? ”

Gu Xiuzhi glanced at Gu Jinzhi and stopped talking.

Gu Jin said: "It's okay for you to speak out. You know, Brother Xuan'er is less than half of yours, so our room depends on you, and you fight for your parents. No matter what you have planned, Seventh Sister will support you. ”

"I ...... I want to go to a remote place in the south and become a prefectural magistrate. Gu Xiuzhi said, "I am in my early twenties, and I have never traveled far except for studying at Songshan Academy. The boy reads 10,000 books and travels thousands of miles, and I want to go out and practice. ”

"It's easy, too." Gu Jinzhi said, "The laws of this dynasty, if you raise people to report to the Ministry of Officials, you can elect officials." But you must know that if you go to the Ministry of Officials to report for the election officer, you can no longer participate in the Spring Festival. Once you get the middle of spring, it is a better future, why should you be anxious about this time? ”

Gu Xiuzhi suddenly felt speechless.

It's the last day of the month, ask for a pink ticket. This is the first chapter, and there will be a few more chapters today.
