"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: April 21, the thirtieth year of Huiming, Yance the world's tribute Gu Chengyu and other four hundred and three. Therefore, it is hereby indicated: Gu Chengyu, the first place in the first class, is given to the Jinshi and the first. ”

Daddy Gu and the villagers outside listened to it half-understood, what does this mean by taking the first place in the exam? Not to mention the Lu family, she was also confused.

When the dumb mother-in-law who was preparing the red seal in the house heard this, she hurriedly opened the purse containing fifty taels of silver tickets in her hand again. ruthlessly, he stuffed a hundred taels into it.

Daddy Gu didn't understand, but Uncle Gu knew, and he immediately smiled, and his excitement was beyond words. The mouth is still babbling; "It's amazing, it's amazing."

"Congratulations to your lord Gu Chengyu for being the champion of high school, and the Beijing Daily has been on the yellow armor."

This sentence was shouted three times in a row, and Daddy Gu understood it this time, and the two words of champion were shouted loudly. They couldn't understand anything else, they just had to hear the word champion.

It turned out that his Xiaobao had won the champion, no wonder there were many more officials this time than last time. Those who beat gongs and drums along the way, and tied a lot of red silk.

"Oops! The fifth child of the Gu family is really the champion! No wonder they all say that he is the reincarnation of Wenqu Star in the sky! ”

"The Gu family is going to rise! We're a village, so we can always get some light! "Someone immediately spoke sourly, just got the news, and this is going to be wiped out.

"Isn't that? In the future, who will dare to bully our village? ”

Father Gu and the Lu family were so excited that they didn't know what to do, and Li Zhixian could understand it when he saw this. This is the champion, and anyone will be excited if they change.

"Evergreen, quick! Please come into the house and sit down! "Uncle Gu is still relatively sober, although he can't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, but with so many officials, he has to let the family have a light meal before leaving! It's noon at this time, and it is an honor for the Gu family to invite so many officials!

"Yes, yes, all the officials, please go to the front hall to rest." Father Gu led people into the outer courtyard, and with the experience of the last time, he did not panic.

Let the subordinates in the family serve tea, and Father Gu was pulled aside by Uncle Gu, "Evergreen!" Those people, it's noon, you have to eat and drink, right? There is no preparation in this house, how can this be? ”

Daddy Gu heard it, didn't he? I didn't know in advance that these people would come to report the good news, but there was one in the vegetable field, but there was no meat! I had to go to the town to buy it, and I had to burn it if I bought it, which delayed a lot of work. There are few people in his family, so he can't be busy at all!

"Big brother! Quick, let the sister-in-law call some women in the village, set up a few stoves, and let's hold a banquet. It's not too late, call for more help. Let the villagers raise chickens, ducks, geese and big fat pigs, send some over, and promise not to let them suffer in the money. ”

Father Gu thought about it, and asked Sister-in-law Gu to find someone in the village to help Zhang Luo with food, and Aunt Wang entered the courtyard of the Gu family at this time. She is good friends with the Gu family and often comes to the Gu family. Therefore, in the envious eyes of the villagers, she entered the courtyard with her head held high.

"Second Brother Gu! But to help? "Aunt Wang guessed that so many people came, it was still noon, and they always had to eat. Last time, it was also her who helped Lu Shi Zhang Luo's meal.

"Brother and sister came just in time, quickly! You go to the baby and his mother, and you quickly prepare the meal. ”

At this time, the Lu family came to the main room, and the dumb mother-in-law handed the purse to the Lu family. Lu Shi then opened it and looked at it, "One hundred taels? ”

She exclaimed, "Isn't that too much?" ”

Lu Shi was a little distressed, but he only gave thirty taels last time! That's two hundred taels at this time!

"Old lady, this time the situation is different, the fifth master has won the champion, our Gu family can't talk about the same day! The fifth master must be an official at this time, but he can't lose the face of the fifth master. ”

Those messengers came from the capital, and a hundred taels was still less. The dumb mother-in-law sighed secretly, after all, it was a Zhuang family, and the old lady was also a little angry. When I went to the capital in the future, I was afraid that I would embarrass the fifth master.

The dumb mother-in-law made up her mind to break Lu's temperament well.

No matter how distressed Lu Shi was, he had to stuff the silver ticket into it again. Then, for the little red envelopes that the dumb mother-in-law brought over, it wasn't too painful. There wasn't much silver in those little red envelopes, and it only added up to sixty-seven taels!

Father Gu stuffed all the red seals that Lu Shi brought over to those messengers who reported the good news one by one, and left everyone for lunch.

"Master Gu, this meal is free! The official is also going back to the yamen. "Li Zhixian knew that before they came, they didn't send anyone to inform them, and they were all here, so it was not good to ask people to prepare meals.

"Your Excellency, you must stay for a light meal, the meal has been prepared, and the table will be opened later." Uncle Gu hurriedly stepped forward to help with the reception.

Li Zhixian excused himself again, but seeing that it was difficult to refuse, he had no choice but to stay. Of course, he stayed for Gu Chengyu's sake. Gu Chengyu is now an official from Liupin, of course he has to be close to the Gu family.

Gu Chengyu didn't know that his family had received the official document, and it had been three days since he came to the Hanlin Academy. Zhang Hai also assigned him some chores, such as finding typos in the actual records of what was compiled or the history books that were edited. Of course, these books are old books.

It's not a history or record of books that are being compiled right now. However, Gu Chengyu was not discouraged, he had just entered the Hanlin Academy, and he would definitely not arrange any important work for him to do. Not only must he not have any grievances now, but he must be diligent and uncomplaining.

Otherwise, Zhang Hai would definitely look down on him even more.

"Jinyu, your family has brought you food." Ren Ge has been familiar with Gu Chengyu for the past two days, and directly shouted Gu Chengyu's words.

The imperial court does not provide food to officials, if the officials are close, they can go back to eat, and there is half an hour of meal time in between. If the home is far away, you can only call the family or subordinates to deliver the food. Of course, if you have money, you can also go to a restaurant or a small restaurant.

The colleagues of the Hanlin Academy all live far away, most of them are in Nancheng, so they all ask their families to deliver meals. It's not practical to go to restaurants and restaurants every day, just order a lot of money, and eat every day and don't you have to be poor? But not all officials have a good family.

Gu Chengyu can't be special, and he also asked Mingmo to send him food. But when it's hot, it's fine, but if it's cold, then send it over, and the oil on the dish will condense.

Will those officials not be able to think of a way? Of course not. There is a small tandoor in each room, and you can also heat your meals while heating the water every day. However, charcoal is required to burn the stove, so everyone has to pay for the silver to divide it evenly.

Gu Chengyu walked out of the house, and when he saw it, it was Ming Yan who brought the food today.

"Are you hungry?" Ming Yan handed over the five-layer red lacquer gold painted box in his hand to Gu Chengyu, he couldn't enter the room, so he could only stay outside and wait.
