The flowing water mat in front of the Splendid Pavilion was placed for three hours, and the number of people who went back and forth to the table and the table was unknown, but the laughter never stopped.

Bai Xiaowu, who came to congratulate him, sat beside his eldest brother and bowed his head and ate violently, and Brother Bai looked at him with satisfaction and said, "You have made the right friend." ”

Few people know why the emperor attaches so much importance to Gu Yu and Su Jin, but what is in front of him is the truth.

The person here only knows the results but not the process, but he knows the details of today's temple examination.

Gu Yu is indeed a talent.

And there is no pedantry of a literati, and there is an indescribable ruthlessness and courage in his bones.

When such a person enters the court, it is the green dragon entering the sea, and it is a matter of time before he takes off in the wind.

Bai Xiaowu had good luck and had dealings with such a person in advance, even if there were few important ministers in the Bai family in the court, but with a friend like Gu Yu, this naïve brother of his own family would never suffer a big loss.

The same thing happened to the Song family.

The eldest son of the Song family followed his father into the palace to participate in the Qionglin banquet, and Song Xiaoliu followed his sister-in-law.

Thinking of the rule that the ladies of the family do not sit at the same table with men, Su Jin also deliberately set up a table alone in the backyard where there are few people and accompanied him personally.

After three rounds of drinking, Sister-in-law Song said goodbye to Su Jin and left the Splendid Pavilion with Song Xiaoliu from the back door.

After she returned to the Song family, the first thing she said to her mother-in-law was: "Mother, Gu Yu and his wife are very human, and they will definitely be able to make a difference in the capital in time." ”

"No matter what Gu Xiang thinks, but our family first intersected with Gu Yu and his wife through Xiao Liu's hand, which is a good thing."

Su Jin is young and doesn't talk much.

Every sentence that can be said can be just right, and every seemingly inconspicuous detail reveals a perfect intention that people can perceive.

If she didn't know that Su Jin's background was not obvious, she would have suspected that Su Jin was a well-cultivated family girl in the family.

You must know that she has seen a lot of delicate daughters from wealthy families, and there may be few people with Su Jin's skill.

The old lady of the Song family smiled and fiddled with the Buddhist beads in her hand, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Who do you think is better than Gu Yu's wife and Lin Yun of the Lin family?" ”

Sister-in-law Song laughed out loud meaninglessly, and said leisurely: "Mother, you are laughing with your daughter-in-law." ”

"The girl of the Lin family was raised with shallow eyelids, but she has an empty life experience but she can't hold it on the table, Mrs. Gu Yu can have the ability of the emperor to marry in person, and the queen's mother can inscribe a plaque herself, this ability, how many girls can do it all over the capital?"

The old lady chuckled when she heard this, and said with emotion that no one could understand: "I heard that the eldest brother of Xiaoliu came back today and mentioned it, and he also praised Gu Yu, it seems that their little husband and wife are capable, no wonder Gu Ming and Zuo Feng value it so much." ”

"That's fine, since Xiaoliu and their husband and wife have the same temperament, they will have more contacts in the future, as for the Gu family, you don't have to pay much attention to it, isn't it just a continuation of the steproom, showing off your little skills everywhere, and you are not afraid of making people laugh when you say it."

Sister-in-law Song smiled and said nothing after hearing this, but when she thought of the words that Mrs. Gu said openly and secretly at Princess Ping's birthday banquet a few days ago, the ridicule in her eyes couldn't help but become a little stronger.

Mrs. Gu only thought that she would be able to prosper for the rest of her life by relying on Gu Xiuwen and Gu Xiang.

But she didn't want to think about how she found the opportunity to enter the Gu family's gate back then.

What is insinuated by opening and closing his mouth is that Gu Yu is unbearable to educate, Su Jin is vulgar and talentless, but looking at the entire capital, how many people really look down on this so-called Mrs. Gu?

Now Gu Yu has a bright future, and Su Jin has unlimited scenery.

I'm afraid that the taste in Mrs. Gu's heart is not very comfortable......

At the same time, inside the palace.

The Qionglin banquet was a banquet led by the emperor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had to come to participate.

Gu Xiang and Gu Xiuwen were naturally there.

Gu Xiang had already met Gu Yu during the palace exam, but he couldn't find a chance to speak at that time, and Gu Xiang would not lower his value and take the initiative to talk to Gu Yu.

Father and son met without saying a word, and the silence lasted until now.

Gu Xiang saw Gu Yu, who was introduced to the officials by Zuo Feng's side, even if he had an excellent temperament, his face at this moment was unprecedentedly ugly.

Everyone knows that Gu Yu is his son.

But Gu Yu didn't want to open his mouth to call Dad.

He didn't even mean to say hello, and completely ignored the Gu family's father and son throughout the whole process.

Gu Xiang witnessed the whole process of the palace examination, and he also came up with a few tricky questions, Gu Yu answered flawlessly, and everyone praised him.

Now there is a person who praises Gu Yu for his young and promising, and there are two people who are secretly poking at Gu Xiang's face.

Because everyone knows that the old fox is old and blind, and he has lost his eyes.

He underestimated Gu Yu's ability, and completely lost this son who was unwilling to be close to him.

This doesn't seem like a big deal, but who can say for sure, what Gu Yu's future will look like?

What the big family lacks the most is the talent that comes out, even Gu Xiuwen, who was praised before, is obviously inferior to Gu Yu.

With such a deeply favored son, but separated from himself, he has become an opponent, such a feeling, it is really heartache for anyone who thinks about it.

Sensing that Gu Xiang's mood was not good, Gu Xiuwen pinched his palm and forced himself to squeeze out a helpless smile, and said in a low voice: "Father, no matter what, the eldest brother is now the champion of the new department, and he will definitely be an official in the same dynasty in the future, it doesn't look good if it goes on like this, why don't I go over there and take a look?" ”

Gu Xiang's displeasure was even stronger in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Look? ”

"See what?"

"Go as he wishes, so that you can step on yourself and make a face for him?"

"He thought that if he had some talent, he would be able to come to the Zuo family without worry, but how could things in the world be so light?"

The higher you climb, the worse you fall.

A courtier with an unstable foundation is like duckweed in the water, why does Gu Yu think that he can go far?

Gu Xiang shook his hand with a gloomy face, Gu Xiuwen looked left and right, and followed with a wry smile.

Zuo Feng caught a glimpse of the movement here, and after a silent sneer, he said softly, "Hypocrisy." ”

After speaking, he raised the wine glass in his hand to Gu Yu, and said with relief: "If you can have this achievement, your mother will be happy if you have knowledge." ”

"When you get married to the brocade girl, take her to kowtow to your mother, she will be happy."

The eldest lady of the Zuo family is Gu Xiang's original wife, and after her death, she was restrained by the Gu family, and the tablet was also erected in the Gu family.

Zuo Feng has thought of countless ways over the years, trying to invite the tablet out of the dirty place of the Gu family, but he has never been able to do it.

Seeing Zuo Feng's melancholy, Gu Yu paused and said, "Uncle is relieved for the time being, when Ah Jin and I set up a mansion, I will try to bring my mother back to worship." ”

And the person who designed his mother's tragic death will also receive corresponding retribution.

That day will not be far away.
