Chapter 945: The House Exam
The Great Prince is dead.
Regardless of the opposition of the courtiers, the Chu Emperor sent the Fuhu Army to drown the eldest prince directly, and did not allow him to be buried in the imperial mausoleum, and removed the eldest prince from the jade, which was completely regarded as not having this son.
The eldest prince's two sons who could just walk also died, and the eldest prince's mansion did not leave a single man. However, a daughter survived and was taken into the palace to be raised.
And this is the result of the Queen Mother's request.
Because of the matter of the eldest prince, the Emperor of Chu was killing in the capital again, which made people panic, and everyone walked around the execution ground in those days, and did not dare to approach the execution ground at all.
The princes, courtiers, families, nobles, and even palace concubines were all terrified by this.
Emperor Chu's brutality this time was beyond their imagination, and he even killed his own son and grandson.
Qi Yi, as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, was also chilled by Emperor Chu's move. He knelt outside the palace gate and knelt for two days, trying to ask the Emperor of Chu to keep the eldest prince alive without success.
In the end, he fainted and was carried back by his family.
After waking up, looking at his wife's tearful and worried face, he was distressed, sat up forcefully, hugged her and said, "Ah Shu, I'm worried, it's mine." ”
Grandma Qi said: "Don't talk to the father-in-law, you take care of it, I and the children are fine." ”
It's the same sentence again.
Over the years, because of Emperor Chu's violent temper, he has killed a lot of people and copied a lot of noble homes, and he has not knelt down and begged once or twice, every time he faints and comes back, although Ah Shu is worried and sad, he says that it is okay and asks him not to worry about his family.
But she is his wife and the person he likes in his heart, how can she worry about him year after year?
Qi Yi finally relented and promised: "Ah Shu, I will start arranging the transfer to the capital, and I will not be impulsive in the future." ”
It's not that he's young, he has a family and a room, even if he wants to be a pure minister and wants to paint the ground for Da Chu's liver and brain, but the master can't do it, and he can't drag the whole family to the funeral.
Grandma Qi cried with joy when she heard this, Xianggong finally figured it out, but she shook her head again and said: "Xianggong doesn't have to be like this, I know your ambition in your heart, you don't have to worry about your family, go to achieve your ambitions." ”
Qi Yi didn't nod this time, but insisted on leaving a way back for his family.
……
The capital has been bleeding like a river, but Ha'an Mansion has been very lively recently, just because the government has taken the exam, and candidates from all counties in Ha'an Prefecture are pouring into Ha'an Mansion to prepare for the government exam.
Gu Dexing, Gu Qingliang, and Gu Qingtian also came, and they came with the Xu family's carriage.
Old Man Xu wanted to be good friends with the Gu family, so he personally drove the carriage to pick them up and let them follow the Xu family to Fucheng.
Originally, he wanted to invite them to live in the Xu family's house, but Gu Jinli's family had a house in Fucheng, so Old Man Xu had to send them to the Gu family.
Although Xu Zhaoming is a noble son, after being taught a lesson by his grandfather, he also understands that some people are not something you can suppress if you want to, since you can't compare to others, then befriending the other party is the wisest way.
So Xu Zhaoming listened to his grandfather's words and went to the Gu family to apologize.
This time, I also came, and the Gu family saw Gu Jin'an.
Gu Jinan is a person who understands the world very well, and knows that Xu Zhaoming was also picked up when he tried in the county, so he did not embarrass him, but sincerely befriended him: "Brother Xu, do you have a guarantee with someone?" I still have one less person to settle the insurance with my cousin Ming, if you haven't settled the insurance with someone yet, why don't you join us. ”
The rules of the prefectural examination are similar to those of the county exam, and candidates have to settle the insurance in three or three.
When Old Man Xu heard this, he immediately said: "It's really a coincidence, my family is worried that I can't find a student who can settle the guarantee, Brother An, you have solved my family's urgent need." ”
This is a kind word, with the Xu family's ability, it is easy to find someone who is sure.
Xu Zhaoming saw that his grandfather had said it, so he nodded: "Okay." ”
Old man Xu stared at him with hatred of iron and steel, are you a saw-mouth gourd? Or is it a big girl raised in a deep boudoir, so she can't say a few more words? is so shy, how can he make friends in the same year and get married to the township party?
Gu Jinan took the initiative to talk to Xu Zhaoming for a while, and agreed to send the Xu family away after reading the book together tomorrow.
When Chen saw Gu Dexing, he rushed over and asked, "Brother Xing, has your knowledge grown recently?" You have to be admitted, if you can't pass the exam, it's not easy to say goodbye. ”
Without waiting for Gu Dexing to answer, he thought of the Xu family again and asked, "Has the Xu family kid been studying with you recently?" Have you ever been to Xu's house? Can you see the ladies of the Xu family? Isn't it good-looking? If you like it, if you ......"
"Second aunt, don't say it, the Xu family hasn't gone far yet, what should I do if I am heard?!" Gu Dexing was so anxious that he looked back at the carriage of the Xu family, and only after seeing the tail of the carriage did he exhale with relief.
Chen gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "Cut, you are still shy with your mother, you are not young, the Xu family is good, and there are girls of the right age, if you can ask for marriage, it will also be your blessing." ”
I also felt that it was very cheap to say this, so I added a sentence: "It is also the blessing of Miss Xu, you will be an official in the future, this identity is no worse than Miss Xu!" ”
Gu Dagui really wanted to kick Chen's foot, so he hurriedly came over and said, "Don't say it, hurry into the house and let Brother Xing and them have a good rest." ”
I know to talk about it, didn't I see Brother Xing'er's head about to be buried in the ground?
Chen was scolded, so he had to suppress the conversation and let Gu Dexing rest in the house.
But she was not convinced, and scolded Gu Dagui: "Are you your own uncle?" How old is Brother Xing'er, his mother is gone, and the eldest brother doesn't know the situation of the daughters in each family, who will give him Zhang Luo if I am an aunt? ”
After Gu Yumei's death, Chen felt that he had not taken good care of their brother and sister, and was afraid that his sister-in-law would find her to settle the ledger after his death, so he was very dedicated to Gu Dexing's affairs, and asked the rich families and official girls in the entire Tianfu County, the neighboring county seats, and even the Fucheng several times, as long as it was suitable for Gu Dexing, they remembered it.
Gu Dagui scolded his mother in his heart, why couldn't he win this mother-in-law every time?
However, seeing that Chen was good to Gu Dexing, he was still very happy. His eldest brother is just a baby, but he has to be treated well and can't make mistakes.
After Gu Dexing and the three of them came, the big guy had a good meal that night, full of meat and vegetables, and ordered a few famous dishes from several restaurants in Fucheng to let Gu Dexing and them eat.
There was a sandwich dim sum among them, and after Gu Jinli read it, he suddenly asked Gu Jinan: "Big brother, when you took the county exam, did you break the food sent to you by the yamen and watch it?" ”
Gu Jinan nodded: "I've broken it open, but many people don't know how to break it, and that broken thing is not easy to eat." ”
Gu Qingliang said: "I didn't break it, I put it up after I got it, and I took it out to eat when I was hungry." ”
He took the county exam to practice his hands, and he never thought that he could pass the test, so he was very casual and would not check his food very carefully.
After Gu Jinli heard this, he reminded: "Eating is the best way to carry things, you must break the food sent to you by the government when you enter the examination room in the future, and make sure that there is nothing in it." ”
He also said: "This is a major event related to the future of your life, and even your life, and you would rather eat broken things than just ignore it." ”
After hearing this, Gu Jinan and the others immediately nodded: "Don't worry, Xiaoyu, we have written it down." ”
And Gu Jinli's reminder really saved their lives.
