Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Feast

It was luck, and it must have been his luck.

This exam is all decided by the main examiner, and each examiner has his own preferences, and Gu Hai just happens to be right about the temper of this examiner.

But for him? Because it's in his way again?

Luck? Where did his good fortune come from?

Gu Yu stood outside the window of the conference hall, quietly looking at the branches of tender shoots emerging from the corner of the house, his face became more and more porcelain-white, and his eyes became more and more cold.

He turned around and strode away from the window, and all the men and women he saw on the way, whether they were slaves or relatives, men, women, and children, greeted them with envy and respect.

Not to mention that he is the second place, the top ten in this exam will be sought after in Jiankang City.

Gu Yu's expression was faint and he walked away quickly, without the slightest joy in his eyes.

The conversation in the room ended here, no matter whether everyone was surprised or envious, the fact that Gu Hai was the head of the case was beyond doubt.

In any case, the students of their Gu family won the first and second place, which is a great joy.

According to the usual practice, everyone in the examination has to hold a banquet to celebrate.

"That's it, the public will pay for the banquet for Brother Hai." Gu Changchun stood up and made a decision.

There's no need to ask for advice, presumably no one will object, I'm afraid that each will have more congratulatory gifts.

The king is powerful, and the followers are numerous, this is the situation of the world, and there is nothing to blame.

"Grandpa...."Someone suddenly spoke.

Gu Changchun looked at it with a little dissatisfaction, "How?" ”

"Well, when I just came, I saw that the fourth old man's house had already set up a banquet, and I said that it was a flowing water banquet," the man said with a smile.

Gu Changchun's face froze, where did they get the money? Do you have to slap a swollen face and become fat?

He snorted, and was about to speak, when the man held out three fingers in a trembling manner.

"They also said that it would be ...... for three days."

Gu Changchun's words were blocked in his throat, and he almost choked and coughed.

The banquet was really placed on Gujia Street, no matter whether relatives and friends or acquaintances, as long as you came to sit down and eat.

When Gu Changchun arrived, the Cao family was surrounded by a group of women talking and laughing, and the words of praise and congratulations almost lifted her to the sky.

Cao was said to laugh and shed tears.

Gu Changchun glanced at the little girl standing aside, she was wearing a long jacket with a colorful collar in stone blue, a light smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were calm and calm.

He coughed, and Gu Bainiang turned her eyes and looked at him indifferently.

"This is a little bit of the clan's heart..."Gu Changchun said, he felt very uncomfortable, obviously he came to congratulate and send money, but how did he beg them to accept it.

The elders behind him laughed and responded, and the two little servants stepped forward with a tray covered with red cloth.

Gu Bainiang's gaze swept over.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your kindness." She said lightly, and the words changed, "It's just that there is no such rule in the clan, and it will be criticized, so please take it back." ”

Refused? The crowd was a little surprised.

"Since you're here, please have a glass of water and wine before leaving." Gu Bainiang smiled and said, "There are few people in the family, and the affairs are complicated, so I am out of company." ”

After that, he turned around and sprinkled away, but he didn't say a word to them again.

Thinking that our mother and son were isolated and excluded at the beginning, none of you people said a fair word, and the cold eyes and cold words of the past could be warmed up with a few good words and a smile.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, when I am humble, you can trample on it at will, so when I am flying, can I not despise and disdain you?

"This kid, why is his temper so stubborn...."Someone laughed dryly, and his eyes fell on Gu Changchun.

Gu Changchun's face was ugly, he sneered, waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then take it back." ”

Isn't it just a little test case, I really think that I will win the Toad Palace?

Gu Leshan, who had been standing behind and observing his words, was busy coming over at this time.

"That's... Grandpa....Spice Shops....Look...", he whispered hesitantly.

Gu Changchun snorted, "Can you write articles and do business?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. looked at the lively banquet outside, and was even more depressed, "How can you keep your business if you are so extravagant and squandering?" ”

Gu Leshan breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Bainiang's words that day were not taken to heart by him, and he forgot about them when he turned his head, but suddenly Gu Hai actually hit the case, which made him surprised.

This is really unexpected, I am afraid that the patriarch will really use this to transfer the spice store to them, and the money is also one thing, the key is that he Gu Leshan's face will be lost.

"That's it, that's it, one will try the first case..."He said with a smile, "My fisherman is still second, and he has only been studying for a few days, if it is even a month earlier, where will the head of the case get him..."

Speaking of Gu Yu, Gu Changchun's face was much better, he nodded, indeed, this child was also very unexpected to him, when he heard that he was smart, he didn't believe it, with Gu Leshan and those children in front of him, it was really difficult for people to believe it.....

I didn't expect that I only entered the school for a month, and I was the second in high school, and the most difficult thing is that this child looks good and knows how to be grateful.....

"Your.." Gu Changchun glanced at Gu Leshan, as far as his eye could see, Huang Shiying, who was dressed in a plain and elegant body, came with Gu Yu, "Be careful when you speak.."

Gu Leshan said with a smile, he didn't care in his heart, it was originally his body that flowed, but he Gu Leshan's blood, this is not a father, and it can't change his happy and proud thoughts, he has long forgotten that until a few months ago, he has always wished that this child had never come to this world....

When Gu Yu walked into Gu Hai's room, Gu Hai was surrounded by a group of students who asked him to eat and drink.

Gu Hai shook his head and refused.

"Ten years of cold window, this is the first step, the coming days are long, you and I can't squander and slack off.." He said with a smile.

"Life must be happy, why not be happy every day?" Gu Yu said with a smile.

Hearing the voice, everyone turned around and saw Gu Yu, who was uncovering his cloak and revealing a dark cloud pattern satin robe.

"Good come, good come.." Everyone laughed, reached out and pulled him over, and stuffed him with a glass of wine.

"You are two brothers in the family, and the list of tanhua is all occupied, and it is intolerable if you don't eat and drink."

Everyone laughed.

"Thou shalt not say so. . . It's just that I'll try...."Gu Hai hurriedly waved his hand.

"You just eat, everyone knows that you are upright and down-to-earth, and you are not afraid that this glass of wine will ruin it." Gu Qian smiled, reached out to wrap his hand around his shoulder, and poured a glass of wine into it.

"Young Master." Lingbao walked in with a smile.

In order to celebrate, Gu Bainiang made new clothes for everyone in the family, and Lingbao and Lingyuan were naturally no exception.

At this time, Lingbao was wearing a goose yellow shirt and a lazy makeup bun, she had lived a worry-free life in the past few months, her face was ruddy, and she looked pretty and cute.

Everyone in the room looked over, except for Gu Yu and Gu Qian, who just glanced at it casually and looked away, everyone else looked at the little girl with interest.

"The young lady said that the opera troupe has arrived, and she wants the young masters and sons to go to the garden to listen to the play." Lingbao said.

"Okay, I got it." Gu Hai replied.

Seeing Lingbao go out, the teenagers retracted their gaze and teased Gu Hai.

"It turns out that there is also a red-sleeved companion..."

Everyone knows the conditions of Gu Hai's family, but what they saw when they entered the house this time was completely different from the legend.

The garden is clean and tidy, the table is properly matched, although there are few servants, the advance and retreat are decent, the mother is dignified and gentle, the younger sister is delicate and quiet, and there is even a beautiful little girl. If Hanako lives like this, then they will all become Hanako

For this kind of joke, Gu Hai didn't show the shyness of a young man, just smiled.

"She is not my slave, so don't be abrupt." He said.

Everyone believed it or not, laughed for a while, ate a few glasses of wine, and went out to watch the play.

Gu Hai cast his eyes on Gu Yu, Gu Yu was also looking over, raising his glass at him and smiling, Gu Hai also smiled, raised his head and ate.

“.. Senior brother has a slight advantage this time.." He took a few steps closer, looked at Gu Hai and smiled.

“.. Gu Hai sighed a little, thinking back to everything now, a year ago they were still living in a poor corner of the countryside, living by selling money, and their studies were about to be broken, and in the blink of an eye, everything changed since his sister woke up after being injured.....

According to what my sister said, I should be no longer alive now, where can I still stand here, brightly dressed, high-spirited, accepting everyone's congratulations and envy, and there is a better future looming ahead.

The emperor is lucky, Gu Hai only feels that his heart is heavy, he can only live up to God's love by being a down-to-earth person and doing things.

Suddenly, a cold gaze fell on him, Gu Hai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, looked at Gu Yu opposite, but saw that he had already turned his gaze, and his hand slowly turned the wine glass.

“.. The junior is amazingly talented, and he will be able to make a splash...."Gu Haisi thought for a moment and said with a sincere smile at him.

This is what he said in his heart, when Gu Bainiang said that Gu Yu was Lianzhong Sanyuan, he still didn't believe it, how could it be, such a person who had never entered the school...

But after this exam, he was convinced that this person was really not an ordinary person

He couldn't help but look at Gu Yu, the young man was handsome and handsome, and his actions were calm and elegant.

Sensing his scrutiny, Gu Yu turned his gaze and raised his wine glass to Gu Hai, the smile on his lips increased a little, his lips moved slightly, as if he had said something, Gu Hai couldn't help but look at Gu Yu again, threw the wine glass, put the cloak on his hand, and sprinkled it away.

The teenagers had already shouted and walked out to watch the play, and Gu Hai stood behind the people with a solemn expression.

He said, "Your good fortune ends here."

The wine banquet was hearty, the gongs and drums on the stage were lively, and everywhere you saw was laughter and noisy.

"Fourth brother and sister, this time the cost is not small, right? There are not many mistakes," a woman who was good friends with the Cao family asked in a low voice.

Cao was also shocked by this banquet in his heart, and his face also showed a little panic at this time.

Of course, at this time, there are many people who hold banquets in Jiankang City, and there are many people with higher specifications than their families, but their families are a little special, orphans and widows have no industrial land.....

Cao's gaze involuntarily looked at Gu Bainiang on the side.

"Money is meant to be spent, and it is earned when it is spent." Gu Banniang turned her head and said with a smile.

Although this sentence is short, it is not easy to listen to in the human ear.

"Eighteen Niang, how do you earn money? Tell the aunts and aunts too, let us learn too..."A woman with a cheerful personality was pushed out and asked jokingly.

"It's just opening a pharmacy and selling medicine." Gu Banniang knew what they meant, and replied happily.

"Apothecary? Do you have a pharmacy in your house? When the women saw that she was willing to speak, they hurriedly asked.

Gu Bainiang had said this sentence before, but at this time, these women repeated it again, and their tone was much more solemn, obviously no longer treating this as a joke.

Gu Bainiang nodded and didn't speak, not because she didn't want to say it, but because there was a congratulatory sound outside.

This time it was a list of names of the medicine store, Gu Bainiang got up and went out, since everyone came for her face, she also had to give face to these people.

Hearing the names of these medicine shops, the woman in the house closed her mouth in surprise, it turned out that everything was true, and the Cao mother and daughter did not laugh.

They are no strangers to those medicine stores, and this sample pharmacy is worth paying so much attention to these big medicine stores?

The news soon spread to every household of the Gu family with the end of the banquet.

“？ Is she a disciple of Liu Gong? Gu Changchun asked when he heard the news, his face was a little strange.

Someone has already told Liu Gong's origin, status, deeds, and so on.

"My natural way is that Liu Gong is a human being," Gu Changchun interrupted the man impatiently, his fingers tapping on the table, "She is Liu Gong's senior apprentice?" ”

He said to himself and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Ridiculous" he smiled, anger condensed between his eyebrows, "Let's not talk about her age, just talk about her identity, Gu Leyun was once an official of the imperial court, and the Cao family was born in a pure family of poets and craftsmen?" Will they let their daughters become craftsmen? is willing to starve to death, I don't think the Cao family will let her go to worship craftsmen as teachers and fall into this way. ”

Craftsmen are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations, and they are not allowed to jump into the Shiliu clan.

It is not even as good as the status of merchants, because many craftsmen are controlled and public or private workshops, and to put it bluntly, craftsmen are no different from slaves.

Of course, except for those famous craftsmen, those who get mixed up with them are their own shopkeepers, and they will no longer be controlled by others, and no one can make them sign a life and death contract.

But so what, they're still craftsmen.

"Gu Leyun has been obsessed with fame all his life, and the Cao family abides by women's morals, will the daughter of the Shili family become a craftsman after the official eunuch? In the future, I will only have to marry a craftsman? Gu Changchun said with a smile.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, this is indeed incredible.

"Maybe I didn't apprentice, but I was just instructed?" Someone said.

"That's a high-ranking apprentice?" Gu Changchun sneered.

That's right, the name of master and apprentice is the most important among these craftsmen, who dares to admit the master-apprentice relationship if they don't worship their ancestors and masters, and they don't have a big entrance ceremony.

"So what's going on?"

“.. Are those so-called Liu Gong's medicines fake? ”

“… You think those medicine stores are opened by fools....."

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

Gu Changchun waved his hand to stop everyone from discussing, "Needless to say, call the Cao family to come over and ask, I'm afraid that this matter is not good....."

Swindle....

Everyone thought of this, if this Gu Bainiang really committed fraud to get such money, then once the incident happened, not to mention that Gu Hai's future would definitely be ruined, even their Gu family would inevitably be implicated.

What is a clan, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

"If this is the ..... of such audacity to commit fraud" Gu Changchun's expression was gloomy, he stood up, and looked around at everyone, "Then open the ancestral hall and remove the genealogy." ”
