Chapter 67: The Restaurant
Mingshu propped her chin and squinted and looked out the window.
-- It's still the same scenery, just looking at it condescendingly, it's always more pleasant. It's probably from the perspective of not tasting the suffering, just watching the fun.
The guy came up with Dian Hong, smiling brightly, "Slow use of the two!" He was a little curious about the little lady with the hat, and couldn't help but look at it more.
Gu Huali's eyes were cold, and his swarthy eyes could almost penetrate people's hearts. The guy was cold behind him, and he lowered his head in a hurry.
Mingshu looked out with a sideways face, "Fifth brother, if you become a big official in the future, will you come back to see me?" β
As she said this, the little girl had turned her face to look at him. The morning light outside the window shone brightly, and the tooth-white veil became a layer of fine white mist, and the outline of the girl's eyebrows and eyes was faintly revealed in this layer of white mist, which was very vivid and vivid.
Gu Huali could feel Mingshu's sense of admiration and dependence on him, and when he asked him like this, he was a little naΓ―ve and curious, and more timid and afraid of being left behind.
He Mosuo held the Ru kiln white porcelain bowl in his hand and said, "Why don't you come back to see you?" β
Mingshu frowned suddenly, and turned his face away a little unpleasantly, no matter what he said, he always liked to hold the initiative in his own hands. For example, now, it is customary to ask her rhetorically.
But after being angry for a while, Mingshu still said, "What if you don't want to pay attention to me and my grandmother?" β
After a pause, Mingshu said directly: "Fifth brother, the eldest aunt said that the second brother will participate in the township test next autumn, will you also participate?" β
Gu Huali took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Ling Ling, I won't ignore you." He raised his eyes and looked at Mingshu, "The second brother wants to participate, so I will participate?" β
Mingshu was observing his expression, but it was a pity that he had been in the cracks since he was a child, and he had learned not to show his clues.
didn't see any emotion, Mingshu was a little frustrated. He was still so safe that he didn't reveal anything, just waiting for her to speak first, and Mingshu was too lazy to speak for a while.
The two were silent for a while, and the man came up with the pastry again.
The cream pine cake sells very well, and when it comes up, Mingshu throws her little emotions out of the clouds, one chopstick, and she is very happy to pick it up.
Gu Huali: "......"
After a while, Gu Huali coughed dryly and said, "If I am in Chang'an at that time, I will participate." β
Mingshu's hand holding a piece of pastry paused, hesitated, and stuffed it into her mouth in one breath. After swallowing it, Ming Shu said, "I'm just curious, the fifth brother is always so busy...... But no matter how busy the second brother and sixth brother are, they are only busy with reading. So, does the fifth brother want to be admitted to the Jinshi or not? β
Mingshu always felt that Gu Huali would answer himself ominously on this kind of topic, and hurriedly added: "Don't fool me!" He felt that his tone was inevitably tough, "You can say it well." β
This became a little girl coquettish to her brother, Mingshu coughed dryly in her heart, and made a straight face.
"There is no scholar in the world who does not want to be admitted to the Jinshi." He lowered his eyes, not to mention, he wanted to climb to the pinnacle of power more than those people.
The little girl in front of her was thoughtful, and seemed to have forgotten to eat the pastry. Gu Huali took advantage of the backlight and looked at her quietly.
At first, he helped her. He thought that she was seeing that he was useful, so he came up and wanted to rely on him to help her support her in the Li family, so he kicked him away when he returned to the Gu family.
It's not like that.
Mingshu suddenly understood that she regarded herself too much as a child now. If you think about it with the thinking of an adult, it's actually very simple.
Gu Huali grew up in that kind of environment, and it didn't matter what he liked. For him, how to rise faster is more important.
He is a powerful minister, not a loyal and compassionate person. What he wanted was to go to that high position and act recklessly from then on.
Obviously, relying on referral and military merit is much faster than taking the Jinshi exam step by step. Even later, because of his birth in the cabinet, he was slandered by the Manchu Dynasty.
In fact, he didn't necessarily care, and even thought of these things when he walked such a path.
Mingshu couldn't say what she felt in her heart.
She thought she knew, but she hadn't really tasted it.
Knowing that you can't do it. Carrying the spurning and contempt of thousands of people, from the darkness full of mire, unscrupulous and lonely climbed.
Every step was dripping with blood and a bruise. The darkness and despair that follow you are always shrouded and tearing at you.
Mingshu thought about it, and the chopsticks pierced a cream pine cake and handed it to him. smiled and said: "Fifth brother, then you can be admitted to the Jinshi, you will definitely be able to pass the top prize...... At that time, the horses will be paraded in the streets, and the hairpins will welcome the spring breeze, how glorious! β
Gu Huali only thought that Mingshu was a child's words.
"How can the champion be so easy to test?"
Mingshu just bent his eyebrows and smiled, for him, it couldn't be simpler. The doubts about his entry into the cabinet in his previous life were completely suppressed for a while because of his sparse needle, outstanding demeanor, and plain language.
Without the thorough familiarity and flexible use of the Four Books and Five Classics, I would not have been able to write such a good article anyway.
"Others can't, but Fifth Brother definitely can."
Gu Huali put the pastry back on Mingshu's plate and coughed lightly, "Eat." β
Mingshu always felt that she heard something off-string - you can't stop your mouth when you eat?
At this time, the rest of the dishes began to be served one after another, and Mingshu was really gagged by the dishes, and did not talk to Gu Huali again.
Gu Huali didn't move his chopsticks.
Ling Ling always pays attention to too many things inexplicably, and that is where others never pay attention. Even for some things, there is this inexplicable obsession.
For example, he was afraid that he would hate her and the Gu family, and for example, he tentatively hoped that he could be admitted to the Jinshi.
He could even be sure that Ling Ling had no bad intentions. But how could a teenage girl think about this?
Mingshu felt that something was wrong, and as soon as she raised her face, she looked at Gu Huali with an inquiring look in her contemplation.
She was stunned.
"Fifth brother?"
He still had an indifferent and calm expression, "Huh? Gu Huali's heart rose to irritability, and he unconsciously began to guess the order.
Mingshu doesn't like this kind of guessing.
"How's the business at Po Wah House? I heard that the pearl tain of the Baohua Building is very well bought, and it has become a trend in Kyoto. He quietly digressed the subject.
"It's very good-" Mingshu swallowed the food in her mouth, put down her chopsticks and said, "Did the fifth brother tell Lin Sanye about the horse kicking?" β
Gu Huali nodded, and said concisely: "Lin Jiamian is doing business in the northwest border area, and I don't know if the news has reached him. β
Mingshu also nodded, "Northwest border pass business?" Do you do business with the Huns? β
"It's not." He glanced at Mingshu unexpectedly, "If it is feasible, he will make it directly, and the reply will also be sent to Kyoto at this time." β
