『Chapter error, click here to report』
Mingmo took Gu Chengyu's order, took out twenty taels from his purse and put them in his arms, and prepared to go to the front yard to send the two of them.
The adults of his family had asked him to allocate some silver taels in the outer courtyard and put them on his body, because he often did things for the adults. However, when he went to the outer court to get the money, he also had to go to the steward's office of the outer court to register.
It's just that adults treat him and Ming Yan well, their monthly money is ten taels of silver per month, and there is an additional reward for errands, after all, with adults, sometimes the work is very dangerous. Therefore, the errand silver he received from the Outer Court would never be used privately, and his eyelids would not be like this.
Gu Changbai and Gu Wanfang had already been led into the hall in the front yard to wait, and the two of them were sitting anxiously and restlessly. Gu Wanfang came to Gu Mansion for the first time, and she was very worried.
"Master! We've been waiting for half an hour, why can't you come back from the little cousin? Gu Wanfang sat on the chair and felt very awkward. When they came to the door like this, it really became an autumn breeze.
"I've already inquired about the time of his dispersion, and I think I'm already in the mansion by now. Wait, if you still want to study, you can't wait for this idea? People are busy, so what's the point of waiting? ”
Gu Changbai felt that the eldest grandson was a little uncontrollable, and he was also unhappy in his heart. However, they still comforted him a few words, after all, the purpose of their coming here today was to ask Gu Chengyu to help recommend a school.
If Brother Fang couldn't hold his breath and was disrespectful to his nephew who was an official, wouldn't they have come in vain today? Gu Chengyu said that he would not be able to confirm their identities until the people sent to Yingnan Mansion inquired, but it had been several days.
He also knew that it would take a long time to get from the capital to Yingnanfu, but he was waiting anxiously, and he couldn't help but come to the door again to test it with Brother Fang'er's matter. Until today, he has not done the first thing that the mysterious man explained, since he came to the capital, the man has only appeared once, and he has not even seen Xiaoyi.
Gu Changbai sighed deeply in his heart, it is really a person sitting at home, and disaster comes from heaven. Originally, although their family had a hard life, they could always get by. Unexpectedly, because their nephew became an official, they were involved in these rights and wrongs.
And the eldest granddaughter, I haven't seen it yet. At that time, the old bustard said that the eldest granddaughter had redeemed her nephew, and he was a little worried. What can this man do to redeem a woman in a green building? Did the eldest granddaughter and Gu Chengyu ever have a skin-to-skin relationship? If so, isn't it incest? These two are cousins and nephews.
Gu Changbai suddenly figured out this matter in the past two days, and his thoughts about finding his eldest granddaughter also faded. has become a Qinglou woman, and now she has been redeemed by her cousin, if there is still that ulterior relationship with her cousin, even the ancestor will be ashamed to climb out of the ground.
Now, he is bound to ask about this, and he doesn't know how to deal with his eldest granddaughter.
Mingmo had already arrived outside the hall just now, but when he heard the two of them talking about his family, he slowed down his steps. When I heard Gu Changbai talk about Gu Wanfang's study, I knew the purpose of these two people coming over today.
Mingmo came from the left side of the verandah, so the two people in the room couldn't see him. I wanted to hear what the two of them had to say again, but after Gu Changbai reprimanded Gu Wanfang, he stopped talking.
Mingmo lowered the footsteps a little heavier, and the two people in the room thought that Gu Chengyu was coming. Hurriedly stood up, Gu Wanfang was about to salute, but when he saw that Mingmo was coming alone, he saw that this was the dress of an entourage, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, it seemed that he couldn't see Uncle Xiaotang today.
Not to mention how Gu Changbai and they returned in vain, Gu Chengyu got up earlier than before the next day. Opening the window and seeing that it was still gray outside, he began to do his daily homework.
Even if he became an official, Gu Chengyu's daily practice of calligraphy and painting did not stop. It's a pity that since he entered the Hanlin Academy, he has a lot less free time, and his painting has not made much progress during this period.
Zhang Hai went to the Hanlin Academy early in the morning, and the preface submitted by Gu Chengyu won unanimous praise from the six parts, and he waited for the next day to present it to Xia Shoufu for review. Although this matter is the general leader of the six departments, after all, it is still compiled by their Hanlin Academy, and the six departments only provide some classics and suggestions.
The work of the Hanlin Academy is very heavy, not to mention other blessings, edicts, inscriptions, and sacrificial texts that need to be compiled. There are also compilations of the Records of Cultivation, Hadiths, Benji, Jade and other histories, such as the Jiaren Shilu and the Huiming Shilu.
Now with the addition of the "Dayan Huidian", all the officials of the Hanlin Academy will be suspended all year round, and it will drag on for many years.
Coupled with the feast day, there are fewer summons in the saints today than before. The so-called lecture on the feast day is to read the scriptures and history for the emperor, explain the meaning of the text, and analyze the government and politics, so as to provide the emperor with a strategy for governing the country.
The original feast day had to be taught from February to the Dragon Boat Festival, from August to the winter solstice, and every single day to enter the service, and take turns to speak. But now that the emperor is often sick, he has become summoned by the emperor, which also makes them feel more relaxed.
Not to mention the examiners or paper readers at the time of the township examination and the general examination, if it is not for other officials designated by the emperor, the Hanlin Academy will have to send officials to serve as examiners. However, not all the officials of the Hanlin Academy can go if they want to, and they still need to pass the exam to receive this errand.
Immediately, he thought that Gu Chengyu's ability was still successful, and he would definitely have to send more work to him in the future. Zhang Hai thought about it in his heart, but he still had to find someone to guide Gu Chengyu to learn more.
Gu Chengyu didn't know that his future days would be in dire straits, and he was listening to Mingmo report the purpose of Gu Changbai's visit yesterday.
"You're saying they came to me yesterday to introduce me to a college?" Lichun was smoothing out the folds on Gu Chengyu's official uniform, Gu Chengyu put on the black gauze hat, and prepared to go to the Hanlin Academy.
The two girls who had just arrived on the side, Banxia and Honeysuckle, couldn't intervene, so they had to stand aside and wait.
Gu Chengyu frowned, he got up early every day to dress himself, and Lichun only tied his hair, but he didn't expect Lichun to pick up his clothes for him today.
The ancient bun was very difficult to comb, and Gu Chengyu's long hair had grown to the waist. For the bun, Gu Chengyu has always had a handicapped hand, so it was Mingmo who helped him before, but now he has changed to Lichun.
"Yes! Master Gu said to Xiao Xiao yesterday that he wanted to ask you to help me in this matter. Mingmo respectfully reported to Gu Chengyu.
"Those little private schools are just a little more expensive, didn't I give the silver? If you want to go to the Great Academy, then I can only forgive me for not being able to do it. Entering the academy is to be examined, can I still shoehorn him in? If they still seek it for this matter, so send them. ”
