"Then I'll go into the ear room and wait!" After Yao Mengxian finished speaking, she led Lianxin to prepare to enter the ear room.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, the cousin girl was the old lady's heart, and she didn't dare to offend the cousin.

Gu Chengyu teased his wife a few words, and the big girl Pearl came in, saluted Gu Chengyu, and walked into the old lady's ear and said something. The old lady nodded, but did not reply, and Pearl straightened up, said no more, and then went out of the room.

Gu Chengyu felt that something might be wrong, so he hurriedly got up to leave.

"But have something to do? If you have nothing to do, you can eat in the house. ”

Ning likes Gu Chengyu very much, not only because he is smart and studious, and he looks good, but also because he has great respect for his elders. In the past, when my granddaughter didn't come, she often came to the house to relieve her boredom.

"Today, I will go to the prefect's mansion to pay a visit, and a banquet will be held in five days, so my wife will come with the teacher to sit down that day!"

Gu Chengyu had already told the teacher just now, and the teacher said that he would go to the table that day, so Gu Chengyu invited his wife by the way.

It's just that the woman's family may not necessarily go out, and it is inconvenient for the woman to go out, after all, it is still far away.

"Then I won't keep you, where can my old bones withstand the bumps? I'm afraid I won't be able to go, so let your teacher drink a few more cups for me. ”

Gu Chengyu saluted and withdrew.

Yao Mengxian walked out of the ear room and looked at the cyan back in the distance, it was Gu Chengyu. They knew each other well, so she could easily recognize them.

Gu Chengyu left the Liang Mansion and went to the Jiang Mansion.

"Coming?" Jiang Mingyuan hurriedly rolled up the pictures on the table and put them in the dark compartment on the bookshelf.

Gu Chengyu came to Jiang's mansion and was not hindered, and was directly taken to the outer study.

"The student has seen Master Jiang!"

When Gu Chengyu came in, he saw that the painting seemed to be a woman, and it was rolled up too fast, and he didn't see it clearly.

"There is no need to be polite between you and me, I haven't congratulated you on being admitted to Xie Yuan." Jiang Zhifu looked at Gu Chengyu with a smile, he knew that this kid would definitely be able to pass the exam.

However, it is not easy to be admitted to Xie Yuan.

"It's just a fluke." Gu Chengyu hurriedly said modestly.

Jiang Mingyuan nodded, not arrogant or impatient, with a calm temperament, and was not carried away by Xie Yuan's title.

"I can't go to your banquet, and after the end of the year, I will go back to Beijing to report on my work, and we should be able to see you in Beijing next year."

Jiang Mingyuan will transfer next year's official position to Gu Chengyu in advance.

"Then the adult is going to be promoted next year? I think I'll stay in Kyochu, right? Congratulations to the students. ”

Gu Chengyu had long known that Jiang Mingyuan would be promoted, but if he could stay in the capital, he must have been active.

Otherwise, it is not easy to vacate positions in Beijing, and there are many officials who want to stay in Beijing, so how can it be so easy to stay in Beijing without trusting relationships?

Although the experimental field was successful and the imperial court was overtaxed, the official was promoted to two levels and compensation had already been made.

"Don't spread the word about this matter, it's not yet finalized."

Jiang Mingyuan acted cautiously, and generally did not say anything about things that were not yet certain. Saying this is because he doesn't treat Gu Chengyu as an outsider and is happy.

"That shouldn't be far from ten, until you are promoted, students should keep their mouths shut."

What Gu Chengyu thought was that Jiang Mingyuan didn't know which way to go, so he was promoted. It seems that there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and they have not moved their nests in the past few years, but this time they should have changed masters, or maybe they did not have a master.

"I have been taken care of by adults before, and the students have not thanked me!" After Gu Chengyu finished speaking, he stood up and shook it to the end.

When Governor Jiang saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, "What is this for?" You are gifted and intelligent, and I didn't teach you anything in reading, only a few more words in human affection. But you have spared no effort to help me in the experimental field, but I want to thank you. ”

Jiang Mingyuan knew in his heart that he took such good care of Gu Chengyu because he helped him a lot, and because he was the man's son.

"The student just did what he did, my lord, my mother also came to Fucheng today to buy my second sister's household belongings. The student was afraid that his mother would buy it and wait in a hurry, so he said goodbye first. ”

Gu Chengyu and Jiang Zhifu didn't want to mention more private affairs in addition to official affairs. Coming here from the Liang Mansion, I'm afraid it's almost more than two hours, and it's close to two o'clock at this time, so his mother should be in a hurry.

Jiang Zhifu heard Gu Chengyu mention his mother, and swallowed the words that were about to blurt out, and muttered for a long time, "Then you go back quickly!" Don't keep your mother waiting. I won't keep you today, and the next time you come to Fucheng, we'll talk about a game. ”

Gu Chengyu got up from the outer study to say goodbye, and followed the external steward out of the courtyard. When I walked to the corner gate, I ran into Cui Ming, who was about to enter the house.

"The old slave has seen Young Master Gu!" Cui Ming saw that it was Gu Chengyu, and hurriedly saluted.

"Aunt Cui doesn't have to be polite!" Gu Chengyu glanced at her, the basket was covered with a cloth, and she didn't know what she bought.

"The old slave can't be called that by the young master." Cui Ming glanced at the foreign steward, then stepped aside and made way of the way.

Gu Chengyu didn't reply, only smiled, and went out with the foreign steward.

Cui Ming watched Gu Chengyu walk out of the corner gate, got into the carriage waiting outside the door, and didn't return to the house until he was far away.

Hibiscus is a good fortune after all, originally favored by the master, although he did not become an aunt, but married a country widower. When that happened, the sisters who served together in the main house also felt sorry for her.

She was forced to calculate the hibiscus. There is a sister who has a good relationship with Aunt Cheng, and she will always take care of them in the future. How could she calculate her for no reason? She wasn't jealous yet, and it was impossible for the lord to take a fancy to her anyway.

But now, Mu Hibiscus has become a mother by mistake. What about peasant women, who are also free, and the wives of the main house who are the masters of the house are better than those whose lives are in the hands of their masters, right?

Unexpectedly, the blessing of hibiscus is still to come! If her son becomes an official in the future, maybe he can earn her a life. These former little sisters were all married to the steward of the house, and few of them were released from the house.

She thought of the wife in charge who was no one or a ghost in the house, this is a bad fate. When I was a girl in front of me, I was honored with gold and jade, and I enjoyed endless glory and wealth. Who wants to marry for many years, but has no heirs? Now, she is still crazy, with such a face, scars all over it, which makes her look terrible.

Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo to go to the teahouse first to see if his mother was waiting there.

"Xiaobao!"

Gu Chengyu arrived at the bottom of the teahouse, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Gu Chengli waving in the private room upstairs.

"Big brother! What about the mother and sister-in-law? Gu Chengyu entered the private room, but found that only Gu Chengli was in the room, and no one else was there.

"The things were almost bought, and my mother remembered that she wanted to add some jewelry, so she asked your sister-in-law to accompany her, and Ming Yan put the things in the teahouse, and drove the carriage to send them."

It should be something for the woman, and it is really inconvenient for Gu Chengli to follow. Gu Chengyu glanced at the things in the room, and found that they were all cloths, small ornaments, some rouge gouache, washing and dressing utensils, all of them, a lot of them.

Gu Chengyu supported his forehead, so much, how to take it back.

Gu Chengli also seemed to be surprised by the woman's purchasing power, and there were some large items, and the shopkeeper of the shop said that he would ask the guy to follow the goods to the door and give some money for the car.

All right! It's not all here, and his mother is still buying, I don't know if two carriages are enough, if not, I have to rent a carriage to go back.

His mother insisted that the things in Fucheng were good, and they should be more fashionable than the county, so they all kept them in Fucheng to buy them. If you want him to say, in addition to the style is better, the material should be similar to the county.
