Chapter 232: Knighthood
Old Madam Gu's words pierced the second lady's heart.
"Although he is famous in Jiangnan, he is far inferior to Brother Jin in the capital."
Old Madam Gu put her arm around Gu Yao's shoulder, "Brother Jin is not only hardworking, but also talented. I'm afraid that the eldest grandson will have an unbalanced mentality when the time comes, and the second family will enlighten him more, and it's nothing compared to Brother Jin, don't think about it. β
Gu Yao couldn't help laughing, the old lady's words were also very vicious, but she didn't sympathize with the second lady at all.
After all, she was the one who took the lead in provoking the war!
The second lady took a deep change of breath several times and said: "Jiangnan has a prosperous literary style and many talents, he can make a name for himself in Jiangnan, and he is no worse than the talents in the capital. β
"In this imperial examination, he is looking forward to competing with Brother Jin."
"Congratulations, grandmother."
Gu Yao got up and said, "The eldest brother and the third brother have such ambition and confidence, one door and two walls, and it is also a good story, you just wait for the commendation from the court." β
Old Madam Gu smiled for a while, and the wrinkles on her face were stretched, "Actually, I hope that the boss can earn the title back the most, and your grandfather has the title in his heart." β
The second lady's eyes rolled, "The second master also mentioned that the old marquis seems to have said that as long as the children of the Gu family can be re-knighted, who is the patriarch of the Gu family." β
Old Madam Gu leaned on the pillow and nodded: "That's right, these are the last words of the old man before he left, and this is also the last words left by the ancestors of the Gu family, but the words of the patriarch." β
After a deliberate pause, Old Madam Gu said meaningfully: "If the fourth elder is knighted, can the patriarch still hand it over to him?" β
"Poof."
The second lady laughed, "Mother said that she was laughing, how could the fourth uncle be knighted?" β
A gentleman who can't write and can't do anything, the emperor will give him the title when he is crazy.
"It's hard to say."
The corners of Old Madam Gu's mouth raised slightly, "Don't look down on the fourth daughter-in-law, don't talk about the side, but as far as Sheng Pet is concerned, even the eldest is inferior to him." However, the temperament of the fourth child is to be knighted, and I will not hand over the patriarch of the Gu family to him. β
The second lady said disdainfully: "Mother is really partial, only you have always thought that the fourth master can have ......"
"Old lady, old lady."
Mother Li hurriedly ran in, regardless of the shouting: "Someone from the palace came to pass the decree, it was for the fourth master, I heard outsiders say, the father-in-law who passed the decree said congratulations when he entered the door, congratulations to the fourth master, it should be a good thing, a great good thing." β
"Uncle, the second master has already gone to the front yard, and he also sent someone to call the third master who just went out."
"Uncle said to let you also bring your female dependents over, after all, this is a holy decree written by the emperor himself, let's not be careless."
Old Madam Gu sat up all of a sudden, grabbed Gu Yao's arm, "Quick, hurry up and go to the second gate, I'll ...... Even if the boss doesn't say it, I'm going to go. β
The house was busy, serving the old lady to refresh.
Gu Yao vaguely understood a little, Gu Siye saved the emperor, and after Emperor Longqing investigated clearly, how could he not reward Gu Siye?
The second lady pursed her lips tightly, how could it be? It turned out to be the emperor's will to Gu Siye?
She felt that her face hurt so much, and she was slapped left and right a few times by this holy decree.
It's a good thing to hear the news, and the second lady feels the ridicule of everyone.
Even the Qian family was busy in front of Old Madam Gu, flattering him vigorously.
The third lady hugged the second lady and said softly: "It's not good to say much now, mother, I will do it after taking the holy decree." β
The second lady nodded, she was not reckless, "You follow the old lady, you can't let the six girls snatch the scenery." β
The third lady is the concubine, and when Gu Shan and Gu Lu are away, she is the eldest granddaughter of the Gu family!
When Mrs. Gu arrived with her daughters, Gu Qing and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Where's the fourth?"
Old Madam Gu asked, "Why didn't you see him?" β
The corners of Gu Qing's mouth twitched slightly, and he said softly: "He drank too much, I have already asked someone to pour him sobering soup, and he will be there in a while." β
"Isn't it good to keep my father-in-law waiting?"
Old Madam Gu motioned to Gu Qingduo to give Feng Hong, and asked softly, "Do you know the specific reward?" β
Gu Qing shook his head and said, "My father-in-law refuses to say it, he only says it's a good thing." β
"Also, how can the emperor's will be easily revealed?"
Old Madam Gu said resentfully and proudly: "The fourth child is not serious, but he is the only one who voted for the emperor's favor." β
Gu Erye naturally heard this sentence and said with a smile: "The fourth brother can get the emperor's love, which is also the blessing of our Gu family, the ancestors accumulate virtue, to be honest, the son is very envious of the fourth brother." β
Gu Siye doesn't have to do anything, he doesn't need to study, he doesn't need to practice martial arts, and he doesn't even have to calculate in the officialdom.
"Second brother envy the master?"
Gu Siye's hair was still a little damp, and there was no trace of hangover on his face.
Second Master Gu said: "The fourth brother will take the holy decree first, and when our brothers celebrate the fourth brother in a while, we will speak carefully." β
"Don't let my father-in-law wait any longer."
"It's okay, it's okay."
The father-in-law, who was still a little arrogant, smiled flatteringly at Fourth Master Gu: "Fourth Master is busy, the miscellaneous family will wait for a while and don't worry, don't worry." β
Gu Erye: "......"
Gu Siye threw several red seals at the eunuch, lifted up his clothes and knelt down, "The minister accepts the order." β
The father-in-law accepted the red seal, "Thank you for the reward of the fourth master, and when the miscellaneous family finishes reading the holy decree, the miscellaneous family asks the fourth master for a cup of wine." β
Gu Qing and the others immediately knelt down, Gu Erye lowered his eyelids, and his fingers were tightly clasped to the ground.
The third young lady rushed ahead of Gu Yao and helped Old Madam Gu to kneel.
Gu Yao took half a step back and knelt with Miss Seven.
It should be the glory of Gu Siye, and no one can take it away.
The father-in-law unfolded the decree and officially read it, and it was naturally preceded by some clichΓ©s, and every decree had such clichΓ©s.
When Gu Yao heard: "Gu Zhan is loyal and capable, and he is worried about the king, so he specially named Gu Zhan as a viscount, and his name is Yongle." β
Viscount Yongle?!
Wouldn't Gu Siye be crazy?
The second lady and the others plucked out their ears together, did they hear it right?
actually made a viscount, or a title, Yongle, Yongle, isn't it the emperor implying that Gu Siye is happy all his life?
What did Gu Siye do?
How can you get such a title?
Although the title is not high, it is not as good as the earl and the duke, and it is not hereditary.
But the word Yongle highlights the emperor's attention and favor to Gu Siye.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
Gu Siye kowtowed, took the holy decree, and was secretly grateful to the person who set fire to the painting boat.
Without him, Gu Siye would not have saved Emperor Longqing, let alone obtained the title.
In the future, when he goes out to have fun, no one dares to say that he is prodigal.
Yonglezi - it would be nice if it was Bo, Yonglebo or Yonglehou would sound better.
The emperor is a little stingy.
Gu Qing was stunned for a long time, stroked his beard, helplessness, envy, jealousy and other emotions surged together.
"Fourth, I'm jealous of you."
