196 Hundred States (4)

The distance between Jinhuitang and Humble Administrator's Hall spanned most of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, Gu Qingwan thought about Xiao Sun's routine for a while, and then asked people to carry the soft sedan chair and slowly went up in the direction of Jinhuitang.

When Gu Qingwan arrived, Xiao Sun's was sleeping sweetly, and when she heard Poria come in and spread the word, saying that Princess Rui was asking to see her outside, her hazy eyes and confused face were cold.

Xiao Sun's has a problem that is not a big one, that is, as the saying goes, "get up gas". If it weren't for special circumstances, the maids of Jinhuitang didn't dare to disturb when Xiao Sun's rest.

The maids who were waiting around Xiao Sun's side didn't know about her problem, but it was revealed by the six girls.

At that time, in order to respond to Gu Qingwan, the Xiao Sun family was very good to the six girls who came out of the concubine for a period of time, and the treatment was comparable to that of the five girls. The sixth girl is a person who can't be admired, and seeing Xiao Sun's attitude like this, she did it for a while.

That day, the six girls learned a new needle method, embroidered a purse for Xiao Sun's family, and came to Jinhui Hall to show Xiao Sun's family.

Xiao Sun was taking a nap at the time, and the person on duty next to him was Xiuzhu. Seeing that Xiao Sun's love for the six girls was very much during this time, and he couldn't resist the temptation of real money after all, he really went to Xiao Sun's to talk to him.

When Xiao Sun asked the reason, his whole face turned blue, and he only said lightly: "Let the sixth girl go to the east ear room and wait." ”

The sixth girl waited for four hours, and within a few days, Aunt Zhang, the biological mother of the sixth girl, was scolded by the little Sun family for finding a reason, and the six girls were not treated much by the little Sun family. It was wilted for a while.

It was Xiuzhu who delivered the message for the six girls, and was later sent to Zhuangzi by Xiao Sun for a reason.

It has only been a month since this incident happened, and Poria, as the big girl next to Xiao Sun's side, naturally sees it in her eyes.

Since then, there has been this unwritten rule in Kam Hui Tang. If it weren't for the matter of the old lady and the second master of the Gu family, try not to disturb the little Sun family when they are resting.

But now there is one more variable, this is Gu San, the current Princess Rui.

Although Xiao Sun is the second lady of Gu, this third girl Gu is indeed the daughter of the main room. Now she is even more expensive as a princess. Xiao Sun's shelf couldn't be put up in front of her at all.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Sun took the handkerchief handed over by Poria and wiped his face, and then got up. The thin shirt made her look even weaker, but there was a slight coldness on her face. But it doesn't fit in with her weak appearance.

"Please ask my aunt to go to the side hall." Xiao Sun changed into a dress. Only then did he turn his head and order Poria.

Poria's eyes flashed. Only then did he continue: "The princess is already waiting in the side hall." ”

Xiao Sun let out an emotional "um" without half an emotion, and went straight to the side hall.

When Xiao Sun arrived, Gu Qingwan was sitting on the main seat in the side hall. I just took the tea presented by the cloves in my hand. Seeing Xiao Sun come in, she only smiled, put the tea cup on the table next to her, and said to Lilac: "Quickly serve tea to the second wife." After that, he pointed to the seat beside her and said to Xiao Sun, "The second wife is late, let's sit down." ”

There was no intention of getting up between the lines, and she was even more like a master than her.

"Don't worry about it." Xiao Sun reluctantly spoke, glanced at Lilac who was standing aside with his head down, and raised his voice, "Go to the small kitchen and bring some snacks." ”

"I'm not hungry, and I use a lot of it for the exquisite lunch." After that, Gu Qingwan clapped her hands as if she suddenly remembered, "I almost forgot about business after waiting for so long, I hurried over at this hour just to see the second wife." ”

"When the banquet was held just now, I saw that the second wife was not at the table, so I asked one more question, only to know that the second wife was actually sick, and the fifth sister was also serving by the second wife's side." Gu Qingwan smiled, "Originally, I wanted to come and see the second wife after the banquet was withdrawn, but it happened that the eldest sister wanted to say a few words to me, and it was not easy to excuse herself, so she came a little late." ”

"I heard Poria say that the second wife was just taking a lunch break, but I disturbed you?" Although it is an apologetic statement, the tone does not feel apologetic at all, but there is a sense of schadenfreude that is about to come out, "The fifth sister has not yet left the cabinet, the fourth brother is still young, and the second wife must take care of herself." ”

Xiao Sun couldn't help but feel depressed.

She didn't have any illness, but seeing that Gu Qingwan had a bad attitude, she was afraid that she would make some kind of moth, so she simply avoided it. But Gu Qingwan's tone was like she was suffering from some incurable disease.

"By the way, why don't you see the fifth sister, isn't she serving in front of the second wife, why can't you see anyone?"

Xiao Sun's eyelids jumped, and then he said, "I saw that Yan'er was also tired, so I asked her to go back and rest first." ”

Gu Qingwan nodded noncommittally, and chatted with Xiao Sun about other words. During this period, Xiao Sun's frequently covered his mouth and yawned, but Gu Qingwan only pretended not to see it and continued to talk nonsense with Xiao Sun.

The person in front of her is no longer the third girl who can be manipulated by her and vacant emotions, but the first-class wife of Da Zhou, who is the younger sister-in-law of today's son. If she is young or old, he will bow to her. Therefore, although Xiao Sun was sleepy, he didn't dare to interrupt Gu Qingwan's words.

After talking for a while, Gu Qingwan's mouth also became a little dry, so she picked up the cup of morning and warm tea sent by Lilac and drank a few sips.

There is no appearance of everyone's ladies at all, if it weren't for Yan'er's name of not being a foolish princess, how could it be her turn to be here to be powerful.

Xiao Sun lowered his head and sneered, but he heard Yuzhu come in and spread the word, saying that the second master Gu Mingli took the second master and the fourth master to Jinhuitang. She was stunned, and then hurriedly said, "The master has drunk wine, so hurry up and bring up a cup of strong tea." ”

"I've already made the decanting soup for a long time, so I brought it with me in a food box." After that, he asked Hongjin to bring up the food box and put it on the table.

Gu Qingwan's words clearly told Xiao Sun that she came for Gu Mingli this time.

After a while, Gu Mingli stepped into the side hall. Xu was a little red because of the wine, and when he saw Gu Qingwan, he opened his mouth a little unexpectedly, but he couldn't say the words when he came to his mouth.

There has already been a deep gap between their father and daughter, and it is not something that can be repaired in a moment.

What's more, there is still a thorn in the middle of them. Therefore, Gu Qingwan just glanced at Gu Mingli lightly, and never got up, only called "father".

Gu Mingli nodded, and wanted to pose as a patriarch, but it can be seen that Gu Qingwan's cold eyes can't be put up in the end.

When everyone arrived, seeing Gu Mingli and Gu Cunke drinking the sobering soup, Gu Qingwan said: "Today, I waited for my father to come over, one is to ask for peace, and the other is to ask my father to agree on one thing." ”

Gu Mingli pondered Gu Qingwan's words for a while, and then said cautiously: "Oh, let's talk about it first." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't answer Gu Mingli's words, only glanced at Gu Cunke, and saw that Gu Cunke shook his head slightly, and then said, "Cunke is now sixteen years old, and Mr. Gong in the family school also said that Cunke who he can teach has also learned." A few years ago, I entrusted Dong Shanchang, the head of Bailin Academy, and after a while, I sent Cunke to Bailin Academy to study. ”

Bailin Academy is an institution of learning, with strict rules, and there is no shortage of contemporary Confucian gentlemen employed. In any case, Gu Cunke is Gu Mingli's flesh and blood, although Gu Mingli's personality is very confused, he is not ambiguous about this matter, and only laughs loudly: "If Cunke really has the opportunity to study in Bailin Academy, it is very good, and I naturally agree with this matter." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Sun's eyes shining at him, and Gu Mingli remembered his other son.

In Gu Mingli's heart, Gu Cunzhang is much better than Gu Cunke no matter where he is. If it is thanks to the relationship between Mrs. Dong, Gu Cunke can enter Bailin Academy like this, so how can Gu Cunzhang not.

Turning his head and seeing Gu Cunzhang's face of admiration, Gu Mingli's heart became lively.

"Cunke is young in the end, and his foundation is not good, if he enters Bailin Academy, it will be very difficult for him to catch up." Gu Mingli paused, and then said, "It would be better if your fourth brother also went with him." With your fourth brother here, if Cunke can't catch up with the progress, he can still help. ”

Gu Qingwan sneered in her heart, but did not speak.

"Mr. Gong said that your fourth brother is very talented." He looked at Gu Qingwan, as if he was expecting Gu Qingwan to bring it up in person.

"In this case, when the mountain gate of Bailin Academy opens in May, my father will send the fourth brother to try it." Gu Qingwan answered expressionlessly.

The history of Bailin Academy is older than that of the Song family in Gangneung, and from the previous dynasty to the present, the acceptance of students has been very strict. The top three jinshi in each imperial examination, three or four out of ten are from Bailin Academy.

Gentlemen who have taught at Bailin College for three years can sponsor a student for admission. After being examined by the chief of the mountain, he can enter the academy only if he has good character and learning. And every year, the academy opens its doors in May, but it only accepts dozens of people, and these few opportunities are reserved for ordinary people.

This is a rule that everyone in the family knows.

Those families that have lasted for hundreds of years have externally hired Xixi at home. If you want to go to school, in addition to Guozijian, there are two other major academies. If you want to enroll in Bailin Academy, you can naturally get a sponsorship place from the instructors of Bailin Academy.

Of course, Gu Mingli knew this rule, and as soon as he heard Gu Qingwan's words, he knew that Gu Qingwan was stabbing him with words, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

And Gu Qingwan continued as if she hadn't seen it: "It's just that now Cunke is still white, and he hasn't even passed the child test. ”

After that, she glanced at Gu Mingli, with obvious reproach in her eyes, "The children's test will be in February, and the government test will also be in April, so Cunke will naturally come to an end." If you enter Bailin Academy after passing the children's test, you will have some confidence. I thought that the two uncles were very good at learning, so it was better to let Cunke live in his uncle's house for a few months, which would only be good for Cunke. ”

"What does Father think?" Gu Qingwan saw that Gu Mingli was silent in thought, and asked again. (To be continued......)
