She didn't think so in her heart. Ah Huan rolled her eyes at her back and followed closely behind her.

Master Gu was not at home, the study was slightly open, and there was no one outside, so Gu Qingzheng walked in brightly. There was a rustling sound behind the bookshelf, and she looked to see that it was the butler wiping the shelf.

"The third lady came to get the book again?"

Before Gu Qing could speak, the housekeeper had already seen her through her heart.

Well, shrugging helplessly, she was already a regular visitor to the study.

"Why don't you tell the others to clean up? ”

"Just do it yourself. What's more, the study is the master's place to deal with business, and there are some documents that are particularly important, and if I let someone else clean up, I don't feel at ease. The butler put down the feather duster in his hand, cleaned up the bookshelves, and walked to the bookcase to tidy up.

Gu Qing nodded, in response to him, and then walked left and right, rummaging around the bookshelf.

"What is the third lady looking for? The old slave remembers that the book you lent out last month has not been returned until now, and the old man was still talking to me last time, what do you want to borrow this time?" The housekeeper turned over the old accounts and showed her no mercy.

Gu Qingzheng paused his hands looking for books in a row, his mouth pouted, and he pretended to be disdainful in his heart, isn't it just a few books, it's really a lot of care.

"Recently, I suddenly wanted to study poetry, so I came to find out if there were any books on the subject. Still replied obediently.

"Poetry? "The implication is, Third Miss, don't waste your efforts if you don't have that brainpower.

The corners of his mouth tugged weakly, why did he even think so?

"If you really want to learn, Miss, the old slave will pay for you to hire a master. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he smiled thickly, feeling that his idea was really good, and he didn't care about Gu Qing's feelings at all.

“......”

"But then I still have to reimburse the master, I can't spend money in vain. ”

“...... I'm self-taught, and it's okay. It took a long time to squeeze out these words from between her teeth, Gu Qingqi's teeth were itching, it seemed that she had to use her housekeeping skills to let them see.

Flipping through the pages, she found a copy of "Lingyu Poetry Collection" on the third floor of the shelf, and flipped through two or three articles at random, which happened to be neat and beautiful ancient poems. Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction, wiped the dust off the book, carefully put it in his arms, and prepared to leave the study without saying a word.

The housekeeper was not stupid, he glanced at her tiptoeing, and said casually: "I have to return the book this time, otherwise the master will blame me for not tidying up properly." ”

Gu Qing stuck out his tongue so that he wouldn't answer him, and left in a blink of an eye with the book in his arms.

On the willow tops of the moon, the candles in the room had not been extinguished, and there was a small amount of fire reflected in the books, Gu Qing yawned and looked at the books boredly.

The sleepy worm had crawled up to her head, and there was a bowl of walnut porridge on her left hand side. Today, I was obediently reading a book in front of the bookcase, and Yu Niang was very surprised, feeling that her daughter had woken up from it, and hoped to be a decent lady.

But in fact, Gu Qing's eyes were dazzled when she was full of ancient poems and annotations, she looked at the pages of the book, and she had never turned a single one, and her mind was full of thoughts.

I wonder if I will see him at the banquet? I look forward to seeing him. After a chance glance on the night of Qixi Festival, a short glance has not been forgotten for a long time, Gu Qing feels that she has fallen in love with him.

The four days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Xiangfu banquet.

Gu Qing also didn't get Yu Niang's consent, so he just casually said that he wanted to go out with Ah Huan to see if there were any new rouge or other things in the neighborhood.

She insisted on going out, and Yu Niang had no way to stop her. But looking at her daughter in front of the bronze mirror, she asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly dress up today?"

Sure enough, Gu Qing was holding a pear hairpin in his hand, looking left and right, but he didn't know which side of the hair to insert.

For fear that Yu Niang would spy on her careful thoughts, she pretended to be careless and said: "I'm also a young lady of the Gu Mansion, so it's okay to pay attention to your image and dress up." ”

"You have a daughter's family, it's not good to go around playing. Yu Niang persuaded, "Just accompany me at home to get the soles of your shoes." ”

There is a large cabinet of soles in the room, all styles, colors, everything.

"Come on. Gu Qing waved his hand and inserted the hairpin in his hair at will, regardless of whether it looked good or not, it was important to escape from here first, "Mother, don't take the soles of your shoes, you should also take care of the flowers and plants in the yard, I saw weeds growing in it yesterday." As for me, go out and see the world, and see if there is any son and brother you like, so that I can bring one back for you to meet. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yu Niang could react and answer, Gu Qing pulled Ah Huan and hurriedly ran out.

In the past few days, she has read almost the poetry collection, although she has also put on some pretenses, but she still has an impression in her mind. She and Ah Huan did not take the carriage of the Gu Mansion on this trip, and the two decided to take a leisurely stroll to the Xiangfu.

When passing by a pond, the lotus leaves in it were unsalvaged and had withered, Gu Qing had a whim, after reading so many poems, she wanted to improvise a poem to see if she had this talent.

Ah Huan shook his head, and even his eyes revealed disbelief.

"Ahem. "Let her think about it, what's in this pond? withered lotus leaves, pond water, small fish and shrimp......? And floating?

Ah Huan stood behind Gu Qing for a long time, at first she looked at her with a thoughtful expression, and the more time passed, the more she found that she didn't seem to feel anything, didn't speak, and said that she was thinking, but it wasn't like it.

"Miss, have you figured it out?" asked Huan in a low voice, afraid of disturbing her train of thought.

After a long pause, those words turned around in my head several times, and I couldn't spell a complete sentence.

"Miss?" called Huan again.

Gu Qing cleared her throat, she looked at the book of poems in vain, but she didn't know anything when it was her turn.

“...... Let's go first, don't waste time here, you should be late for the Xiangfu later. ”

So she quickly changed the subject, she wanted to stay away from this pit she had dug herself.

"Miss, didn't you say you wanted to improvise?"

Gu Qing shook his calves and kept rushing forward, Ah Huan trotted up and asked with an undisguised sneer.

sighed silently in my heart, this girl, why can't I understand what she means?

"You know, I just have that little bit of ink in my stomach, so I have to save some money. ”

"Haha. ”

After Gu Qing finally admitted, Ah Huan's laughter came from behind her, and she could only spread her hands weakly.

After walking for half a pillar of incense, I came to the street where the Xiangfu was located, and the whole street was full of people, like a long queue of people winding to the end, all with smiles on their faces, all talking about the Xiangfu banquet.

"I heard that there was a beautiful singer at this banquet?"

"Not really. This singer was originally from the Beauty Workshop, but she was later bought by the Prime Minister, and she was even a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

"The prime minister bought the singer?

"Haha, no one can be sad about the beauty pass......"

Everyone was gossiping and talking in the crowd, and Gu Qing followed them in a long line, and also stretched out his ears to listen to their conversation.

"Eh, little brother, do you know why the Prime Minister's Mansion is holding a banquet today?" she asked, patting a man in front of her.

The man turned his head, looking like a scholar, and he spoke even softly, "How do we know the prime minister's thoughts?"

"Hehe, yes, excuse me. ”

At this time, it was already the third pole of the sun, Gu Qing stood on tiptoe and looked at it, not knowing when this team was going to be lined up.

On the right side of the line, people sometimes shook their heads and sighed, looking dejected. Gu Qing thought, this should be someone who can't pass the test, looking at their disappointed looks, he knows how much he wants to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion to participate in the banquet.

Prime Minister Murong, although he is young, cherishes talents very much, and has cultivated a group of outstanding pillars of talent, all of whom are all in the court or business, contributing to the country's going abroad.

He is a powerful emperor, a high and powerful position, and still cares about the people and the world, with clear sleeves and a sincere heart.

It is precisely because of this that there are countless people who want to break through the threshold of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and grovel in front of him for their little outstanding talents, hoping to be reused.

Gu Qing's heart missed a beat, what should I do if the ink in my stomach is not enough? If I can't write a poem at that time, won't it become a joke?

Ah Huan was also aware of this problem, and asked in her ear: "Miss, if you can't answer the poem, will others laugh at you?"

"I hope I'm doing well. ”

I don't know the bottom of my heart. She swallowed her saliva, glanced at the team in front of her again, and looked like ten people, and it was her turn immediately, and she suddenly became inexplicably nervous. She felt nothing if she lost face in front of others, but if Murong was next to her and she couldn't spit out a word, it wouldn't be like life.

Take a heavy breath, exhale, inhale again, exhale again.

Gu Qing pinched his cheeks and hooked a big smile, come on, come on, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and she is the same.

As time went on, the line became shorter and shorter, from ten to seven, to five, and now all ...... Alone.

The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion is closed, and there is a bookshelf on the right side of the door, and a gentleman is sitting next to it, and the one standing on one side should be a scholar, this is the examiner of this impromptu poem.

On the inside of the bookcase, there is also a screen.

The scholar who was writing a poem in front of him frowned and pondered for a while, and slowly protruded a sentence from his mouth.

The scholar was separated from the team by a certain distance, Gu Qing couldn't hear what he said, he only knew that the gentleman in front of the bookcase nodded with satisfaction, wrote down the poem on paper, and then handed it to the person beside him and handed it to the side behind the screen.

I don't know who it is behind the hazy screen, Gu Qing only saw that after the paper was taken in, he didn't think about it, the scholar passed the customs, and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly opened for him.
