They are all poor families in the Ye clan, he came to the capital to study, and the clan also made up some silver taels for him to count as entanglement. For this, he is not ungrateful in his heart.

If he can choose the younger generations from the clan to do some trivial things for him, he will also save himself from doing everything himself. He doesn't say anything about being rich and expensive now, but he can afford to give some money for a month.

Gu Chengyu smiled knowingly, this method is not bad. Ye Zhiqiu has no one around him to take care of him, and there are some things that he is inconvenient to do in person, and now he is an official, and it is a little unreasonable to do things without an entourage.

"This is not impossible, and it is good for your people. It's just that we are all in the capital now, and the clan just wants to send people over, and I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

Ye Zhiqiu groaned, "Don't we have a provincial leave?" I'm waiting! I didn't want to go back, but it seems that I still have to go back. ”

Because Ye Zhiqiu had already brought Ye's mother and the others back to Beijing, he didn't care if he went back or not. But he thought of his eldest sister who was far away in Jingyuan Mansion, and felt that it would be better to go back and have a look.

"Then if I go back first, I'll bring someone for you! Go back and repair a letter and explain it to the clan. ”

The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight pours on the earth, as if putting a hazy coat on the earth. The carriage ran on the bluestone slabs, gurgling.

It's an alley, and unlike the bustling streets outside, it's very quiet.

"My lord! It's almost time to get to the house! Mingmo drove the carriage and didn't look back to the tunnel.

"Hmm!" Gu Chengyu responded lightly, rubbed his eyebrows, everyone was in high spirits tonight, and they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses. It's not that he can't drink, but he is smoked by the smell of alcohol on his body.

The carriage drove to the gate of Gufujiao, and the gatekeeper who guarded the door heard the sound of the carriage, opened the door and saw that it was really his own carriage. Hurriedly opened the door and let the carriage in.

When Steward Chen of the outer courtyard saw that his master was coming, he took the post sent to the house today and followed him to the inner courtyard.

Gu Chengyu smelled the wine on his body, and planned to take a bath and rest first. There are a lot of things going on today, and he has to calm down and analyze how the emperor arranges the secret fold.

"My lord! I have received a lot of posts on the house today, and one of them is from the eldest princess's mansion. Steward Chen saw that Gu Chengyu was about to enter the house to rest, so he hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh? The Eldest Princess's Mansion? Gu Chengyu was a little confused, he had no contact with the eldest princess's mansion, why did the eldest princess's mansion give him a post?

Gu Chengyu took the post suspiciously and opened it. It is indeed from the eldest princess's house, and there is also the eldest princess's private seal on it. Looking at the content again, what kind of cherry blossom viewing party is held.

After all, the eldest princess is a model of a noble lady in the capital, and her husband is the Duke of Qin, so naturally there are many large and small banquets held in the mansion every year. Among them, the annual cultural meeting attracted many young men and girls from the family, and even young officials participated.

To put it bluntly, it is a blind date conference in disguise. However, it's just a clever name for everyone to get together and have fun! If you really talk about marriage, you still need the words of your parents. Even if you want to look at each other, you have to agree with the elders of both sides before you can come to the door to propose.

Any behavior that is not for the purpose of proposing marriage is a hooligan.

However, Gu Chengyu was not interested in such a banquet, and for some reason the post was sent to his house. He thought about it, maybe it was because he was quite famous in the capital before, and he was young, so he was sent by others, right?

He is a little conflicted, if he doesn't go, I don't know if he will offend the eldest princess? I looked at the date, and it was on the ninth day. He calculated, it turned out to be his own day of rest, which was really a coincidence.

However, at that time, he may have gotten the letter and can return to his hometown to visit his relatives. So it was useless to worry about it now, he took the post in his hand and prepared to turn around and go inside.

"My lord! Then these posts, the small ones put them away. ”

Steward Chen asked as usual, there are always posts in the house every day, as little as three or five, and as many as a dozen. Most of them are former classmates of adults, as well as those scholars who admire the humanities of adults, and want to invite adults to participate in some poetry meeting.

Gu Chengyu nodded, he usually didn't reply to those posts, and they were all shelved. After all, there are too many posts, if he replies one by one, it won't take up a lot of his time? Besides, it's customary for people who don't want to associate with them not to reply to posts.

Those people say behind their backs that he is an official, and they forget about his former classmates, or they are arrogant and disdain them, so let them say it. is a person who has no intersection, and he can't be guilty of wronging himself for fear of criticism behind others' backs.

Gu Chengyu sent Steward Chen, went into the house, and instructed Lichun to prepare bath water for him.

Mingmo parked the carriage and came to Gu Chengyu's house to report what Gu Chengyu explained before he went to answer Mao today.

"My lord! According to your instructions, I have asked Ming Yan to bring a few good hands to Hechuan Mansion to find a place to take care of Miss Ji. As soon as Mingmo entered the house, he watched Lichun take Gu Chengyu's clothes and go out, and then reported the matter to Gu Chengyu.

"Hmmm! Remember to let those people take a good look at her, and when the matter here is over, find a place far away from the capital and marry her. ”

For the sake of her niece, Gu Chengyu will also prepare a dowry for her. In the future, there will be no contact. No matter what Ji Furui's purpose was, if he sent people away, he didn't plan to care about the previous matter.

"Yes! My lord, the people who went to Yingnanfu today have sent a message. Mingmo watched Gu Chengyu walk into the inner room and stood at the door of the inner room.

When his son-in-law bathes, he doesn't like outsiders to be around. When he saw that Lichun was coming, he waved his hand and asked Lichun to go out and wait outside the house.

As soon as Lichun saw it, he knew that Mingmo had something to discuss with adults. Therefore, he glanced at the room, heard the sound of water inside, and turned and walked out.

"Oh? Tell me about the situation. When Gu Chengyu heard this, he couldn't help but become interested.

Mingmo stared at Lichun's back for a while, and when she heard Gu Chengyu's question, she turned her head and replied respectfully.

"That old man is indeed your second uncle, Gu Changbai's family, the second old lady gave birth to two sons, the eldest son went out to do business with people a few years ago, was robbed by thieves, and was killed because he refused to obey. left the eldest son Gu Wanfang, the second daughter Gu Qian, and the youngest son Gu Wanke. ”

"Gu Qian also had a big granddaughter before, who was taken away by Pai Huazi when she was five years old, and these circumstances are true. The second son gave birth to a son and two daughters, and now they are all in Yingnan Mansion, making a living from farming. ”

Mingmo took a breath and told Gu Chengyu about the situation.

"Some time ago, the second old lady suddenly came to the capital with the children left by the eldest son and the second old lady."
