"The old lady knows this place, but none of them have been here before." Gu Shaoyu explained, "This place belongs only to me, and it will only belong to us from now on."

That is the private property of the third house and has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion.

Xie Zhaozhao shouted "good" in his heart!

Xie Zhaozhao was in a good mood the whole time he was visiting the garden with him.

She doesn't hate Gu Shaoyu.

She was touched that he did so much for her.

Unlike her, Gu Shaoyu seemed calm, but he was actually a little distracted.

He took her to enjoy the garden slowly, she looked at the scenery and he looked at her.

In the sunlight, Xie Zhaozhao's skin became whiter and more tender.

Only when he was close to her did he understand what flawless white jade and beautiful lotus emerging from water were.

The indescribable fragrance on her body, delicate and sweet, wrapped around him softly like silk, making him intoxicated and excited.

There was a slight sweat on the tip of Xie Zhaozhao's nose, but her steps were always steady and her back was always straight.

So lovely!

He hired the most beautiful and best woman in the city.

A real lady.

Seeing that she was sweating, he took out his handkerchief and handed it to her. Xie Zhaozhao blushed and indicated that she had a handkerchief.

Gu Shaoyu was afraid that she would get sunburned, so he took her back to the island in the middle of the lake.

Tea was already prepared in the tea room. While the two were drinking tea, Gu Shaoyu talked about the resettlement of refugees, which was her greatest concern.

"After discussing with your majesty, I have planned to build a temple in Jiangnan. Anyone who participates in building bridges and dams, resettling disaster victims, and benefiting the local people can become a god in the temple according to their merits and enjoy incense for hundreds and thousands of years."

Xie Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. Can it be done this way?

But she understood it in an instant. How much food, clothing and daily expenses can a person have in his life? Even after death, how many graves can be worshipped by descendants every day? If a prodigal son appears, there may be no incense for him in his lifetime.

But being a god is different. Even if your tomb is gone and your family is gone, the throne will always be worshipped for thousands of years.

How many emperors wanted to be immortal? Wouldn’t they fight for such a good opportunity to become a god?

Gu Shaoyu knew that she would understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "Nowadays, those god positions are hard to come by. Many minor gods have been reserved, and a few major gods are still vacant. They are all like chicken blood, and even the officials in the court are vying for them!"

Xie Zhaozhao smiled happily. The fact that Lord Gu could become Lord at the age of 25 was definitely not because of the smoke coming out of his ancestors' graves, but because he was possessed by a god.

It is conceivable that in order to enjoy the incense from generation to generation, these people must have tried their best to build dams, bridges and roads, gather popularity, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Building temples and selling deities is an idea that is both mysterious and harmful, but it is definitely beneficial to the country and the people.

It was really rare for Gu Shaoyu to see her smiling so relaxedly, so he knew that she was extremely satisfied with what she had done.

In fact, he wanted to say that the inspiration for this idea came from her. She was called Guanyin Mian, so he thought of God, and suddenly he came up with this good policy of governing the country with the blessing of God and prospering the local economy.

Before noon, Gu Shaoyu personally sent her back home. She sat in the carriage and he rode a horse beside her. Many people looked at her sideways along the way.

On the way back to the palace, the carriage saw groups of students on the street, looking very excited.

Xie Zhaozhao asked through the curtains: "What's going on? What are these people doing?"

Gu Shaoyu said: "The results of the palace examination will be announced the day after tomorrow."

Yes, Ling Xun’s palace examination results are about to come out.

After returning to the mansion, Gu Shaoyu personally went to Wutong Garden to pay his respects to the old lady.

Send Miss Xie back safely and give the old man an explanation.

Old Madam Xie was very happy. She was very satisfied when she saw the heroic and extraordinary Lord Gu. When she went to the palace to talk to Concubine Xi that day, she said that this grandson-in-law was very good.

After Gu Shaoyu left, Xie Zhaozhao left Wutong Garden and returned to the yard.

Yuanyuan and Manman chattered away, telling Aunt Xu about the scenery of Yue Lake. The two little girls were extremely excited.

As Xie Zhaozhao thought about the imperial edict to be announced, his thoughts drifted to his past life.

In her previous life, Guan Yingying saved Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng. After becoming officials, these two people devoted their entire lives to her and were a strong force in building her business empire.

After the opening of the "Silk Road" trade route, the goods that Guan Yingying transported in included a large number of elixirs and addictive poison pills.

The addiction becomes stronger and stronger, and you will go crazy if you don't eat it.

Emperor Hui fell seriously ill because of the loss of his beloved minister Gu Shaoyu. The Crown Prince and Gu Chengyan, two cruel people, gave Emperor Hui a panacea.

In just a few years, the strong Emperor Hui's body was hollowed out, and he died tragically. The prince ascended the throne, and the Xie family's mansion was filled with graves.

……

Although she is tied to Lord Gu in this life, she does not want to let go of Gu Chengyan and Guan Yingying.

Thinking of this, go to the south room.

The south room is the guest room of Xie Mansion.

After Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng were rescued from Nancheng, they stayed in the clinic there for a day, and were then taken back to Xie Mansion by Yunhe and handed over to the palace doctor for careful treatment.

Already recovered.

Before the palace examination, Xie Anfeng and Xie Yu both sought out great scholars to give them special instruction and to recommend them to some officials in the court, so they were considered Xie Anfeng's disciples.

When Xie Zhaozhao arrived at the south room, Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng happened to be there. When they saw Xie Zhaozhao coming, they both bowed respectfully and thanked her.

"Miss, I will never forget your kindness."

"You are Welcome."

Xie Zhaozhao sat down calmly and asked, "Are you used to living in the mansion? What did the mansion doctor say about your injuries?"

Zhang Xiangsheng said respectfully: "Thank you for saving my life, Miss. I have already recovered."

Ling Xun: "The eldest master arranged for a great scholar to give us special guidance, which was of great help to us in this palace examination."

When their injuries recovered slightly, Xie Yu arranged for them to attend the top academy in Daqian, Yulong Academy. The students in the academy were all princes, princes, and children of the four major families, the top children in the Beijing circle.

Just by making friends with these people, the two of them will benefit endlessly throughout their lives.

"You will be appreciated by His Majesty at the Peony Flower Festival. If you write well in this palace examination, you should be able to win the first place."

"I dare not be arrogant."

"You don't have to be modest. My father and brother have tested your knowledge. It's not surprising that Ling Xun won the first place. Master Zhang will definitely be in the second place. We will know the result in two days."

She said it easily and her praise was genuine.

Ling Xun and Zhang Xiangsheng clasped their fists again, expressing even more gratitude to Xie Zhaozhao and the Xie family. They knew very well that the eldest lady was so sure that she must have helped them take care of it.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"Please give me some advice, Miss!"

The top scholar is rare, but not uncommon. The imperial examination is held every three years, and there is always a new top scholar. The Hanlin Academy has no shortage of top scholars.

If you want to succeed, you must have someone to support you.

"Ask your brother to take you to the Ministry of Revenue or recommend you to other departments for training. You can stay in the Imperial Academy or take up a post in a local government, it all depends on your own wishes."

"It's all up to the eldest master to arrange." Ling Xun said, "Yesterday, the prince found us and said that there were two unused villas on West Street and wanted to give them to us, but we declined."

"You are doing the right thing. You should avoid suspicion at this time. You are the emperor's disciples, so you must be loyal to him."

The crown prince is not the king, there is only one word difference, and they are very different.

Although they were not on the prince's side in their previous life, because "Tu Qianyue" was on the prince's side, they were loyal to Tu Qianyue and were indirectly used by the prince.

In this life, she would not let the prince control them again.

"There is one thing you need to do. If you do it well, it will be of great benefit to your future."
