Chapter 237: Enlightenment

The sky is getting dark, and the palace lamps outside are lit up one by one, stretching out a long row of lamp walls, winding and twisting, very spectacular!

"It's so pretty!" Gu Wan said with a smile. //..

The palace lamps in Fengyi Palace are all purchased from Gu Wan's shop, and this batch of goods for the New Year has made Gu Wan earn a lot, almost comparable to the sales in the first half of the year, just for this, she has to praise a few words.

Liu Shi looked at Ah Ping, Ah An was playing around Liu'er, and if he didn't pay attention to it, Liu'er almost fell off the couch, but was caught by A-Ping and hugged him. She unconsciously softened a little between her eyebrows, and she didn't know what to think, so she suddenly turned her head: "Wan'er, how is Yingru doing?" I remember...... The day before yesterday, the palace gave a New Year's gift, and it was not easy for the mother and son. ”

Gu Wan shook her head in a daze, "I didn't pay attention." ”

She didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Liwang Mansion, but she thought that if Yingru people came with a child who could not inherit the palace, life would not be too easy, but so what, at least they would have no worries about food and clothing, and no one would go to trouble and practice people, which was already much luckier than thousands of ordinary people who might face oppression from the powerful.

If it weren't for the kindness of the Mu family, where would Miss Ying'er and her children have the possibility of survival?

Mu Si will end up like this, it is his own personality problem, there is a good saying, character determines fate, but no one can deny that Miss Ying'er also has some responsibility.

The Mu family is no longer accustomed to anger, and it is impossible for them to be free of resentment in their hearts.

Mu Yanxu is willing to let them enter Beijing, and he is willing to shelter them, which is already tolerant. is already for the sake of the dead Mu Yanye's face, and he can't still ask him to do his best to plan the future for the mother and son.

As far as Gu Wan is concerned, even Mu Yanye is not worth paying attention to. What's more, it's his concubine and concubine! Even if Ying'er gave them a New Year's gift to the palace, she didn't know.

On weekdays, Bao Sheng takes care of the trivial things at home, and only the more important ones are notified to Gu Wan. Obviously, the rituals in the palace of the king of Liwang are far from important.

Liu's face showed a little unbearable, and said with a wry smile: "The New Year has passed, Wan'er, you can find a gentleman for him to enlighten, how to say that it is also the blood of my Mu family." Don't waste your studies. "She is a mother in the end, and she always has a little more pity for her children.

Gu Wan nodded indifferently, it's just enlightenment, Jixian Pavilion can catch a top student at will, and he can be an enlightenment teacher for the prince. //.. What's more, a prince's concubine? Since the queen spoke, it didn't hurt for her to help, saving the queen from worrying about it.

After sitting and chatting in Fengyi Palace for a while, when he got home, Gu Wan casually sent a letter to Gu Nan, Gu Nan thought about it, it seemed that there were still two or three disciples under his hand who were not very lucky, and there were no disciples who had not entered the palace, so he simply recommended the little prince who went to the palace of the priest. Not to mention anything else, the Mu family has always been generous, and there will always be no less, the rice in the capital is expensive, and it is not easy to live in a big place, so you can add some input. It's also a good thing.

Not to mention how complicated Ying'er's mood was when she greeted Mr., it was the New Year in a blink of an eye.

Mu Yanxu also sealed it early, stayed in Daxing Palace to write the word 'Fu' to the ministers, speaking of which, at this time, there was no procedure for the emperor to give blessings, or in Yazhou back then, Gu Wan and Mu Qi first wrote a lot of blessing words to give away, and later Mu Yanxu also deliberately took time to write a few blessing words to give to his younger brothers in order to show his favor.

It's just that Mu Yanxu has regretted it a little recently, in the past, he only wrote to a few princes and relatives in the clan, Mu Yanxu wrote casually, and it was good if he could get it, but later the queen proposed that he also give it to his close ministers, and the emperor blessed it, the omen was good, and it was very decent, Mu Yanxu didn't take it seriously, so he agreed.

But as soon as he started writing, Mu Yanxu found that it was wrong, blessing could not favor one over the other, a group of people in the political affairs hall, plus other important ministers with relatively high status, as well as noble families, and even big families, if they really want to write the word blessing, if they don't spend a day or two writing it, they can't complete it at all, and if they bless the courtiers under their hands, the words they write can't be too bad.

Mu Yanxu's own calligraphy is average, but after two years, he was stunned to write the word 'Fu' so that even great calligraphers such as Bai Xuanqing, Shen Jing, and Gu Nan were willing to bow down.

This shows how many times he had to practice to achieve this!

Mu Yanxu just regretted it again, but so many people were looking forward to it, as long as he got the emperor's Mobao, he would happily offer it, and he was embarrassed to say that he would stop it.

It wasn't until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve that Mu Yanxu worked hard to send all the blessing characters of each family, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned his head to prepare for the big banquet. This kind of year-end banquet is that the queen is pregnant with Liujia, and she has to attend according to the rules, Gu Wan, as the seventh princess, sits in front, next to the queen, and just happens to be able to enjoy the warm and delicious food specially made by the chef for the queen, and you don't have to eat cold food like most guests. So this year's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Gu Wan had a good time.

Liu's heart was soft, and although Miss Ying'er definitely didn't want to participate in the night banquet, she invited Brother Yu.

Gu Wan glanced at him from a distance, the kid lowered his head, trembling and sitting among the children of the clan, almost no one talked to him, and the whole person seemed to not exist.

Liu sighed and specially gave him two bowls of vegetables, saying that he liked to eat, but in fact, he gave him a long face.

Brother Yu got up and thanked him, Gu Wan saw his face, this kid looks really good, although he is too cowardly between his eyebrows and eyes, and his temperament is a little worse, but his facial features are exquisite, and he actually combines the advantages of Mu Yanye and Ying'er, if he is more generous and lively, he must be a cute child.

When Liu saw his facial features, his heart softened a little, and he also rewarded him with a lot of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and even called him to his side, and Yin Yin told him to study and practice martial arts.

After such a toss, the people around looked at the child's gaze, and there was a little less twist. Gradually, there were people who talked and laughed with him.

Liu Shiwan'er pulled Gu Wan and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, a few Houfu ladies came into the palace to greet me, and said in a roundabout way, I also hope to invite a good gentleman for the child, it is about the news that you invited Mr. Yu Ge'er to spread out, and they also hit the idea of Jixian Pavilion." ”

Gu Wan also smiled. It's not necessarily that they can't find a good gentleman, they just want to take advantage of the momentum of Jixian Pavilion.

Jixian Pavilion is now famous, and those who come out are elites, with a high status in the government and the opposition, and anyone wants to get involved as soon as possible, whether they want to enter Jixian Hall in the future, or enter the official office, there is always a benefit.

It is the son of the noble family, and he does not have to participate in the imperial examination to enter the office, but the number of places is limited after all, and only the eldest son of the lord has such an opportunity, but who can have only one son? Besides, as the head of the family, maybe the son still has a beloved concubine, and as a parent, he naturally has to plan for the children.

Gu Wan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "There are still too few people who can read in our Daqing Dynasty. "Although Jixian Hall is said to be cultivated by the world's talents, after all, it belongs to the 'university', and only those who have achieved success in learning can enter, but it will not give people enlightenment. And the Guozi of the Daqing Dynasty can only be admitted after it has a meritorious name.

In various states and counties of the Daqing Dynasty, there are also official and private schools, but first, not ordinary people can go to study, and second, the number is too small to be enough.

Said that everyone in the world can read and reason, that is, the saint can not do it, foolish thoughts, in this era, is still very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the ruling class always feels, the common people read too much, it is not easy to rule, even if it is as enlightened as the Mu family, and then hope that the family and the Han Shi to achieve a balance, it is impossible to be willing to let everyone in the world read and reason.

Besides, there are many scholars, and there are not so many positions in the imperial court to place!
