127 and Lu (1st Shift)
King Anjun received a post from the Ding'an Hou Mansion that night.
King Anjun has been very low-key since he returned to the capital since he ended Chen Guo's proton career, and he has hardly interacted with people except for studying for the imperial examination.
Everyone in the capital knows the character of this King of Anjun, and they will not take the initiative to befriend him on weekdays, so looking at the post in his hand, King Anjun was a little surprised.
In order not to be abrupt, Gu Houye's post was given to King Anjun and Zhuang Caidie.
King Anjun was quite surprised, but he didn't seem so surprised to see Zhuang Caidie's name: "Gu Houye really raised a restless daughter." ”
You don't have to think about it to guess that Gu Jinyu did it.
It's just that King Anjun didn't expect that Gu Jinyu misunderstood his words and caused him to have thoughts that he shouldn't have, he just thought that she was wooing Zhuang Caidie, and by the way, he borrowed Zhuang Caidie's hand to invite him to the mansion to touch his light.
He sneered and threw the post on the table.
Wu Yang asked, "King Jun, what did the Marquis of Ding'an think?" Why did I send you and Miss Butterfly a post? ”
The relationship between the two sides is actually a bit complicated, the last time in the villa was an accident, there was no inn nearby when it was late, and he couldn't see at night, so he stayed in the villa of Ding'an Hou Mansion for fear of being exposed.
However, behind the Ding'an Hou Mansion is Concubine Shu, and behind Concubine Shu is His Majesty, aren't they afraid of arousing His Majesty's speculation if they are too close to the Zhuang family?
King Anjun sneered: "If someone really asks, it's just a relationship between the two younger daughters' families, not partisan power." ”
Wu Yang pursed his lips in disgust: "Don't go to this kind of mansion banquet!" When the old marquis was in power, he was not worthy of having a relationship with our banker, let alone now? ”
King Anjun said lightly: "Don't look down on the Ding'an Hou Mansion, the old marquis had great achievements in the past, and he was suddenly taken over by His Majesty, and he also handed over the dead soldiers he had secretly cultivated, and left Kyoto in a cold heart and traveled all over the world." Do you think that's the case? ”
"Isn't it?" Wu Yang asked.
King Anjun narrowed his eyes: "I have always suspected that the old marquis broke with His Majesty on the surface, but he actually took the opportunity to leave the capital and go to secretly cultivate troops for His Majesty." If the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is the open spear in His Majesty's hands, then the Ding'an Marquis Mansion is the hidden arrow behind His Majesty. ”
Wu Yang expressed his doubts: "But how can I look at Gu Hou Ye like he can become a big weapon, just rely on the strength of the old Hou Ye alone, how long can he last?" Is Your Majesty's bet crooked? ”
King Anjun's eyes were deep: "Gu Houye can't, Gu Changqing can." ”
Wu Yang: "This ......"
King Anjun didn't continue this topic, but said, "Miss Gu's birthday is also the same day, right?" ”
Wu Yang naturally understood that the girl Gu in his master's mouth was not Gu Jinyu, and he said, "It should be, there is also Gu Xiaogongzi." ”
King Anjun nodded: "Did they inquire about the residence in the capital?" ”
Wu Yang said: "I inquired, Miss Gu's father-in-law went to Guozijian to report the aisle and left his address, but it was just ......."
"Just what?" King Anjun asked.
Wu Yang said: "That house is the house that the king of the county once took a fancy to and asked his subordinates to buy, but unfortunately it was bought at ten times the price at that time. ”
King Anjun had a little impression: "You mean that the house that is very close to the Guozijian and has two super large courtyards?" ”
"That's right!" Wu Yang nodded!
King Anjun was puzzled: "How did they live in that mansion?" ”
Wu Yang said: "I heard that Miss Gu's father-in-law rented it for thirty taels of silver per month. ”
King Anjun became more and more puzzled: "It's only thirty taels? ”
Thirty taels is actually a lot, but if you know that the house was bought for ten times the price, you will feel that the rent is not worth mentioning.
All the houses in that alley were very close to Guozijian, but only the courtyard of the house was the largest, which was very suitable for people with small children, and she happened to have a three-year-old little brother.
Only, how did they rent it?
"Maybe it's luck." What Wu Yang really wants to say is that the person who bought the house is a fool, spending so much money to buy the school district house of Guozijian, and the result is to rent it out?
King Anjun shook his head: "Forget it, there is no need to delve into this, it is not bad that they live there, there are all students of Guozijian nearby, and nothing will recognize the Queen Mother." ”
"One more thing." Wu Yang said.
"What's the matter?" King Anjun asked.
Wu Yang said with a strange expression: "Does the county king still remember the recommendation quota of the county seat?" The subordinates inquired, and Miss Gu's father-in-law took two cases in the children's examination, and the total score ranked first in the county. ”
King Anjun said: "I know about this matter, it is because of his good grades that I persuaded my grandfather to find a way to reopen the country, so that he can enroll his family in school, and the queen mother can enter the capital without attracting attention." Any questions? ”
Wu Yang looked puzzled and said: "The quota recommended by the county seat is not him, he was admitted by himself!" ”
King Anjun snorted suspiciously, I don't know if he was more surprised that he had won the first place in the other township's test, or he was more surprised by the question of the quota.
"Who's the place?" He asked.
Wu Yang said: "I gave it to a friend of his, named Feng Lin." The subordinates have checked, this Feng Lin has no background, he ranked seventeenth in the provincial capital in the township examination, and the children's examination was in Song County, and he didn't even get the recommendation of the Guozijian somehow. ”
King Anjun sneered: "It's enough to buy the county order." ”
Wu Yang frowned: "However, the quota of Guozijian is handed in first, and then the results of the township test are made." Could it be that Xiao Liulang was confident that he could take the first place in the exam before the results came out, so he bought the county order in advance and gave up the quota that should have belonged to him to his friend? That's outrageous, isn't it? ”
It's really outrageous, after all, even King Anjun didn't dare to take this risky move easily.
But if it is said that there is another hidden secret, King Anjun does not believe it.
After all, Xiao Liulang's background Wu Yang has also checked, he is an orphan from other places, he lost his father since he was a child, and his mother raised him and his brother, but he and his brother died one after another, and in the end only he was left.
He fainted and was rescued by Gu Jiao at the entrance of the village, and then became a relative, and he also registered in the village.
He was very appreciated by Dean Li, and Dean Li unilaterally announced that he was his descendant disciple.
He himself never responded, but he did only improve by leaps and bounds since he became Dean Li's disciple.
He was only at the bottom of the class, who would have expected that in less than a year, he would soar into the provincial city of Xie Yuan?
King Anjun smiled faintly: "Dean Li and my fourth uncle were among the four great talents in the capital, and my fourth uncle has always been unconvinced, why Dean Li was ranked before him, and now there is an answer." ”
Is it really Dean Li's credit? Why does Wu Yang think that Xiao Xie Yuan is the real one?
But Wu Yang didn't say these words, he still knew the character of his own county king, he was resourceful and far-sighted, but at the same time, he also regarded himself as high, and he didn't think that anyone in the world could be smarter than him.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 18, the autumn was high and cool, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
The Hou Mansion was busy before dawn.
Today is not only Gu Jinyu's birthday, but also her ceremony.
Gu Houye originally meant to want Gu Jiao and Gu Yan to go back to the house for their birthday, but they were ruthlessly rejected by the sisters and brothers.
Gu Jiao didn't go back because he didn't think of himself as a person from the Hou Mansion, and Gu Yan didn't go back because there were few people in the whole mansion who really welcomed him.
His grandmother only has three older brothers in her heart, he is a sick seedling, he is unlucky, and he does not like his grandmother when he is young.
As for the three elder brothers, he also naively thought that he was really his brother when he was a child, and after being beaten a few times, he understood that he and they could never be a family.
Gu Jinyu's life experience is only known to the master of the mansion and some of his henchmen, and outsiders don't know that Gu Jinyu is the wrong daughter, and they don't know that the Yao family and the mother and son have returned to the capital.
It's just that as in previous years, only Gu Jinyu has a daughter who celebrates her birthday, but she doesn't have any doubts.
Yao gave the gift to Gu Jinyu last night, and she went to Guozijian early in the morning to accompany the dragon and phoenix fetus for her birthday.
Gu Jinyu couldn't care about the loss, because she had too many surprises today.
Concubine Shu couldn't come to the Hou Mansion because there was something wrong in the palace temporarily, so she asked the fifth prince to come instead of her.
The fifth prince also brought the emperor's holy decree and officially canonized her as the county lord and named Hui.
This is the first county lord from the Hou Mansion, everyone is honored, and Mrs. Gu also felt that her face was bright, and knelt down and thanked the emperor.
"Grandmother." Gu Jinyu helped Old Madam Gu up.
Old Madam Gu patted her hand with satisfaction, her eyes were full of doting: "I know that you are a competitive person, Your Majesty canonized you as the Lord of Hui County, this Hui word, it shows Your Majesty's appreciation of you!" ”
This is praising Gu Jinyu's intelligence!
Gu Jinyu bowed and said: "It's all my grandmother who taught me well, I have been under my grandmother's knees since I was a child, and my knowledge is all the credit of my grandmother." My grandmother didn't favor one over the other just because I was a daughter, and invited me so many excellent Mr. Xixi, without my grandmother, I would not have the name of Jinyu's county lord! ”
Hearing this, Old Madam Gu was overjoyed.
Old Madam Gu really loves Gu Jinyu, but if you want to say that it can't be compared with the three grandchildren, Mr. Xixi was invited by Gu Houye, and Old Madam Gu just didn't object.
However, Gu Jinyu is willing to put this credit on her, which shows her filial piety.
is not like the wild girl who grew up in the countryside, and she has been in the capital for so long and doesn't know how to kowtow to her.
It's a pity that it's not biological, and it's separated by a layer of belly.
"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the county lord!" Aunt Ling sent a congratulatory gift carefully prepared by herself.
Gu Jinyu didn't like Aunt Ling in her heart, but she understood that the old lady liked Aunt Ling, and she wouldn't save the old lady's face.
She personally received Aunt Ling's congratulatory gift: "Thank you, Auntie." ”
Aunt Ling took out another congratulatory gift: "This is what your eldest brother prepared for you, the military camp can't leave, he asked me to send you a gift first." ”
Gu Jinyu knew that this was actually prepared by Aunt Ling, and she was not disappointed, she couldn't become a big fat man in one go, the eldest brother had to take her slow change, she had already seen the signs, and I believed that in time, the eldest brother would definitely accept her from the bottom of his heart!
Gu Jinyu's salute was huge, and many powerful people in Beijing came, even the master of Guozijian also came!
Siye is the second official position in the Guozijian after the sacrificial wine, there are two main and deputy priests, and it is Lord Zheng who is the main secretary!
The young sacrificial wine has passed away, the old sacrificial wine has resigned and left Beijing, and everyone in the capital is rumoring that this Lord Zheng will be the next Guozi priest wine!
Gu Jinyu felt a great honor, and all the grievances she had suffered in the villa for half a year dissipated.
She really belongs to the capital, the capital is her place, here, she can shine!
If Zheng Siye's arrival made Gu Jinyu very honored, then the next figure can be said to make the entire Hou Mansion shine.
The person who came turned out to be a close confidant of the crown princess, and the crown princess sent a gift to Gu Jinyu!
Gu Jinyu didn't know what to say.
The crown princess is the future queen, second only to the emperor and the crown prince, and even the concubine dare not take Qiao in front of her, such a high-ranking and powerful figure actually sent people to attend her ceremony?
Gu Jinyu was flattered!
The chamberlain smiled: "Congratulations to the county lord of Hui, the princess said that if the county lord of Hui is free, you can go to the East Palace and play chess with her to relieve her boredom." ”
"Yes!" Gu Jinyu respectfully responded.
The waiter raised the dust in his hand and said with a smile: "It's not early, the princess is still waiting for the miscellaneous family to go back to her life." ”
"I'll send my father-in-law!"
"Lord Hui stays."
After the chamberlain left, Old Madam Gu and Marquis Gu both felt that this was not true, and overnight, they even dealt with the crown princess?
It may be an exaggeration to say that the deal is handled, and nine times out of ten, the crown princess took a congratulatory gift after seeing His Majesty's face.
But no matter what, this value is enough for them to be prominent in the capital for a while.
"Jinyu didn't disappoint her grandmother." Old Madam Gu originally had the last trace of Gu Jinyu's daughter who was not her biological granddaughter, so what did it matter if she was biological or not?
The people who walked out of their Hou Mansion will represent the face of the Hou Mansion in the future.
