The husband's son-in-law

As soon as Gu Zhao left, people from the surrounding villages and towns had no information and rushed over to celebrate.Fortunately, Gu Zhao made an agreement with his father and Zhou Zhou before leaving.

Zhou Zhou is still in confinement, don't worry about these nosy things, leave it all to Dad.Before the spring of the new year, find a time when the weather is good and set up a banquet. Those who come to congratulate the year ago will tell the time, and don't refuse to accept the gifts.

If dad is too busy, then go to the Gu family to find my dad and uncle, and the village chief can also help.

As for Li Guihua's jealousy of the town squire's gift of money, Gu Zhao also beat it up, saying that if you dare to take it, you will do it if the town squire asks for help in the future. I will not help at all. If you don't believe me, try it. try.

First it was a big stick, and then he said: "Now I have passed the Juren examination, and I have a long way to go to become an official. I am now entering the Li family, and changing the lintel is also changing the Li family, but if I get up, mother Don't you still have Gu Chen here, you should think about it, is it a few dozen taels of silver incense now, or is it better for you to rely on Gu Chen to become an official wife in the future?

It's not considered empty-handed painting.

Gu Zhao never thought of being alone, and it is impossible.He is in the early stage alone, regardless of his relatives, reputation is one aspect, on the other hand, you are rich and rich, and your relatives are still not in the early stage. Over time, there will always be other activities behind the scenes to stab him.

It's better not to worry about it, the younger generation of the Li family and the Gu family are still young, and he doesn't have enough energy, so he can only give a little advice, and the next step will depend on the talent of the younger generation.It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son, and it is difficult for a single tree to support in the officialdom. If the Li family and the Gu family can have newcomers in ten or twenty years, it will be considered good.

Li Guihua's face was chilled from being beaten with a big stick, she knew that the former was cold in her bones, if she said she would not help, she would definitely not help her, and if something went wrong with her, she would not save her.Immediately afterwards, he heard that Xiao Chen could also be an official in the future, and that his son was better than the previous one when he became an official. He immediately showed a gleam of joy, and promised that he would never mess around to collect money. I listen to you, Zhao'er. Don't forget your brother Yunyun.

Gu Zhao controlled the situation with a few words, thinking about it, there was nothing else to do, so he felt relieved.

As for the business in the prefecture and county, he and Zhou Zhou also discussed it.There is a high probability that their family will not be able to do business in the prefecture or county, and the transfer of officials will avoid the place of origin. Even if he has a small official, he will be transferred to a local official elsewhere, and it has been less than a year since the transfer of the governor.

It turned out that the previous year had already been promoted.

Li Ji Luzhu in Ningping County will either close its doors completely, and wait for his job report to come down and know where to go before opening.

Li Zhouzhou has been doing stewed stew for many years, and he has developed some friendship with the diners. It used to be closed for a long time, and the customers would be eager to think about it. In fact, he still wants to reopen the shop and let others do it.After he finished talking about his thoughts, Gu Zhao added a few more sentences, and finally settled down.

In this way, Zhou Zhou's business can be regarded as a good agreement, so Gu Zhaocai left steadily.

The middle of the first month is Chinese New Year.

Li Zhouzhou sat for a full month and a half. His body was well maintained, his skin was rosy and his complexion was good, and he could walk around. It happened to be Chinese New Year. Grandma Gu brought three sons, daughters-in-law and a large group of grandchildren to visit. The female relatives went into the back room, Grandma finished watching Zhou Zhou and Fu Bao, praised and praised, said not to worry, you were exhausted before, and you are the most loving during confinement, let your mother-in-law work harder, and wait until the new year Then end the month.

Before Li Guihua agreed, Liu Huaxiang smiled and said that she was there, and the in-laws were at ease.

In the end they all stayed.

It’s easy and trouble-free for two people to work together. Besides, Li’s food is good. He washes laundry and diapers with hot water, and he doesn’t feel too hard to serve him. , Liu Huaxiang also made a circle.

After the new year, Li Zhouzhou confinement is over, and Fubao is three months old.

Fubao's full moon wine happened to be when the sky was freezing cold, so he was afraid that the people coming and going would give Fubao a chill, so he simply moved it to the Hundred Days Banquet, and held it together with his father's banquet.

In the first year of the new year, Li Da, the four brothers of the Gu family, and the village chief started to buy. Three pigs were killed, not to mention dry goods and wine were piled up in the grain storehouse. Everyone in the village came to help join in the fun.

In the room.

Fubao is dressed in red, with a red tiger hat on his head. The hat is soft and has two small ears, with a king character embroidered in the middle. He is wearing a small red short jacket with open red cotton trousers. Wrapped in diapers, lying in his father's arms, his eyes turned curiously when he saw everyone.

"Little Fubao looks so beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than Xiao Fubao in ten miles and eight villages."

This is to praise him.

Xiao Fubao seemed to understand, and smiled.

People who come here are very surprised: "Hey, you laughed, it's really pleasing."

Little Fubao's clothes are not considered expensive, they are worn by ordinary dolls in the village, but wearing them on Fubao adds a bit of extravagance. Anyway, people who come and go will praise Fubao when they see Fubao, and they will look at it rare , no one touched it.

It was mainly because Li Zhouzhou blocked it with his arms and body.

Before when Xianggong was at home, when he was in confinement, Xianggong washed his hands first and held Fubao cleanly every time he hugged Fubao, because Fubao would lick his mouth and spit bubbles. Xianggong said that people's hands are not clean, if there is something dirty Things, Fubao will eat them in his stomach.

Li Zhouzhou remembered that when everyone came to see Fubao and praised Fubao, he smiled and thanked him, but he didn't let people hug and touch Fubao's face easily, and it was easy to find excuses. As the old saying goes, you can't pinch your child's cheeks. It broke.

In the past, maybe the villagers didn't like it, and they would chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that Li Zhouzhou was so majestic that he couldn't even touch him, so he was just a brother.But now it's different, Li Zhouzhou is the husband of Master Juren, the day Fubao was born was fine, and his father who was prosperous was elected.This is a rare thing, and everyone knows it.

"Look, someone's fortune is worth more than a boy in the village."

"It can't be compared, Fu Bao's father is an official, can he be the same as our mud legs?"

When setting wine and eating, if Fu Bao wakes up and is in good spirits, Li Zhouzhou will be wrapped and carried out to meet the guests. Fu Bao will be happy to see people, waving his small hands and clenching them into small fists.

"It's said that Fubao from Mr. Gu's family looks good, like a boy from all over the world, and it's true when I saw it today."

Li Zhouzhou praised it modestly.

When the villagers saw him, they were a little dazed. Li Zhouzhou was not like this before. He didn't like to talk or join in the crowd. Now he treats people generously and speaks like a scholar. Anyway, I can't describe it.

The running water mat has been set up for ten days.

Fubao collected a lot of small clothes, shoes and hats, all of which were gifts from relatives and elders in the village.As long as it is not valuable, Li Zhouzhou will keep it and write it down in the booklet. He doesn't know when he can pay back the favor, so he should remember it.

In March, the weather became warmer, and the villagers continued to eat meat and meat at the Li family's flowing water mat during the Chinese New Year. Everyone's face was shiny and full of energy, so they went to fertilize the fields.

Until April, every family in the dry field finished feeding and could rest for a few days.

Brother Xing came to the door, hesitantly said: "Forget it, I won't do it. There are so many fields at home, and the sister-in-law's children are still young and can't do it now. If Shitou and I go to prefectures and counties, we will work in the fields." I can't be too busy."

"However, when I went back to talk about the business you mentioned, my father-in-law and mother-in-law thought that I had the idea of ​​dividing the family. Although they didn't say anything about me, the elder sister-in-law really thought that our second room was taking advantage of us. , Now I don’t think about it that way, there are many dolls in her house, and there are only three boys, but all of them are small, and Shitou can do three by himself. As soon as I said it, she became anxious, what should we do if we leave her house.”

"I know you're thinking of me for my own good." Brother Xing was also in a dilemma, but he married into the Wang family, and the family lives without separation. The man is filial, and there are no major problems in the house. Why did their second wife go to the prefecture to do business.

Li Zhouzhou saw that Brother Xing wanted to go, but he couldn't stand the whole family by himself, so he said: "There are connections in the prefecture and county that you can rely on, so that you won't suffer too much. You two are doing small business. It’s no problem to earn a hundred taels of silver a year, and you can buy a yard and settle down in four or five years if you work harder to eat and eat, and send Yuanyuan to school.”

"If you don't go now, you won't be successful."

Brother Xing was in a hurry. In fact, he was selfishly thinking about whether it would be successful in a few years.

Li Zhouzhou was patient with Brother Xing, and explained: "Yuan Yuan is the right age to study now, but in a few years it will be inappropriate. You eat in the same pot, and you say send Yuan Yuan to study and read, you My sister-in-law is definitely not happy, think about it again, if there is only one child like Yuan Yuan in the future, who will be delayed?"

"Why not in a few years?"

"After my family's husband, a small official will be transferred to another place. We can't go to the prefecture. We are not in the prefecture. You don't have a backer to do business. We are far away. If there is anything, we won't be able to help you for a while. Tell me, the stewed recipe is sold to the Jinyu restaurant in the prefecture. You just drive to the west and don't disturb each other."

Boss Zhu of the pork shop likes stewed stew, but the distance is so far that he can’t stop working for a day. He only needs his apprentices to buy water to eat, so he eats diligently every day in winter, because he can keep it for one night, and endure it in summer. The apprentice came to buy it to relieve his greed.

If Brother Xing opened his shop on the west side, it would be enough to patronize the business there. It would be enough for his family to chew on the head for a year and still make money, just buying braised pork heads would be enough.

There is another point that Li Zhouzhou didn't say.Mr. Xianggong said that the Zheng family has sent high-cost materials for so many years, and now they sell them to Jinyu Restaurant, and the Zheng family can continue to supply them. The quantity is large, and they will earn back from Jinyu Restaurant for a long time.

"Zhou Zhou, I actually want to go. I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth in the future. My mother-in-law has been talking about me for three or four years, but my stomach hasn't moved. If only Yuan Yuan will be alone in the future—" Brother Xing became more and more afraid the more he listened. .

"You and Wang Shitou have settled the matter. The work in the field makes money, so you can spend money to hire someone to do it."

Li Zhouzhou was worried about Brother Xing, the bigger Yuanyuan was, the older Brother Xing's mother-in-law would be able to study hard, and wanted a second grandchild, but it was not easy for him to conceive, what if he couldn't give birth?

The days go from one moment to the next. Li Zhouzhou didn't expect Xianggong to win the exam so quickly. At that time, he advised Brother Xing and Dafang to relax, and there was nothing he could do about it. Bear with it, but now there is a better way to go. Then work around.

After a few more years, the Dafang family will be established and the family will be separated. What will happen to Brother Xing?

"I, I'm flustered, why can't you say anything, or I'll call Wang Shitou over and you'll tell him?"

"You say it yourself." Li Zhouzhou refused, "You used to be quite good at speaking, why are you so stupid now? What your mother-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law are worried about is splitting the family and working in another place. You can solve it. "

There is no separation of families, and people are hired to do the field work.

It's not good enough.

Wang Shitou is not a person who wants to be filial, otherwise he would not have secretly bought the stove behind his mother's back.The main contradiction is resolved, and everything else is easy to talk about.Brother Xing'er's family earns more than a hundred taels a year, and he keeps half and gets half back. Not to mention his father-in-law and mother-in-law, even Dafang's family is happy.

"You give your sister-in-law some benefits. She has many children and you earn more money. She will take a step back for her own children. There is no separation of families. The food your family eats in prefectures and counties will leave you in slack. The eldest brother will also give it away, and everyone will be more kind, regardless of being too deep, and the days will definitely become more and more prosperous."

"Don't be stingy and underestimate your sister-in-law, just learn from that." Li Zhouzhou said more seriously.

Brother Xing thought of Li San, shook his head immediately, and said, "I'm not that kind of person!" His father gave him cheap food for so many years, and he was so angry, how could he do the same thing as that bad embryo.

After returning, Brother Xing talked to Shitou first, but before he finished speaking, his mother-in-law heard him first, saying that he was in trouble again, and he had to work hard when he had free time to give Yuan Yuan another companion.Brother Xing was wronged, and he was even more determined to go out, otherwise he would not be able to give birth, and this family would not be able to stay in the future.

So I made it clear according to what Zhou Zhou said, and said that there would be no division of family, one hundred taels of silver a year, they would keep half of it, and take the other half back to the family, so that if the sister-in-law wanted to read and write, the money would be enough...

Sister-in-law's heart moved.

Who in the village doesn't envy Gu Zhaozhong's prestige as Master Gu?

It doesn't matter if the family is separated, the two old members of the Wang family can listen to it calmly, let Brother Xing talk about it, what Li Zhouzhou originally said, and make it clear.

As a result, after hearing it, Li Zhouzhou really pointed out a good way for Brother Xing, and swept away all the bumps and bumps encountered on the way to make a living.

"Can you really earn a hundred taels a year?" Wang's mother-in-law asked.

Brother Xing said: "Zhou Zhou said that he worked with his uncle in the first year. He sold everything every day and there was nothing left. After the monthly expenses were deducted, his family's husband went to school. There was 90 taels and 100 taels." , Zhou Zhou believed in me and said these words to me.”

It's no wonder that the Li family came back with a lot of gifts these years, even the running water banquet of Fubao's [-]-day banquet is also a big deal.

"Father, mother, elder brother and sister-in-law, if you don't trust us, can we sign the letter and draw the letter?" Brother Xing said, he is open and honest, and he will not lose his sister-in-law, "It's hard for me to conceive a child. Yuan one, I really don’t want to lose Yuan Yuan.”

Wang Shitou felt sad, and swore along with the curse, saying that he would never be like Li San, otherwise he would have no children and grandchildren, and then he was beaten by his mother first and talked nonsense.

She knew that her son could never be a wolf-hearted thing like Li San.

In the end, it was negotiated, and even the big house had nothing to say, and they all supported it.

At the beginning of April, Wang Shitou, Xinger and his wife first went to the prefecture with Uncle Li.Li Da took Gu Zhao's letter and drove the couple with him in a mule cart. The lease of the yard in his prefecture and county was to be waived, and there were still things that needed to be packed up. He was the one to do it.

Things were resolved neatly.

Seeing Li Dalai, shopkeeper Xu of Jinyu Restaurant first bowed his waist and smiled congratulatingly: "Master Gu Juren's father, congratulations." Hearing what he wanted, he immediately invited the boss.

Li Da had trouble dealing with the boss, so he sent Gu Zhao's letter directly.

The boss is a good person, it is impossible to swallow the whole business, and it is not a loss to have a good relationship with Gu Juren, so he agreed without even thinking about it. Gu Juren said in detail in the letter that the other party is selling in the west, and he is doing his expensive business. He can also arrange banquets, and he earns most of the money.

Wang Shitou and Xing Geer saw that the uncle was handling things, as if he had changed himself, took them to rent a yard, and even called the boss of the pork shop Zhu the lively and intimate relationship, and they almost didn't know that this was his quiet and boring gourd. uncle.

Why change as much as week to week.

The yard of the couple is more spacious than the one rented by the Li family before, but at the time the Li family map was close to Qingping Academy, so it was more expensive. They live in a residential area on the west side, less than two minutes’ walk from the butcher shop, and the yard is huge. It is open and lively, and the annual rent is 11 taels.

Wang Shishi gritted his toothpick for two years, and he brought the money.

This yard was introduced by Boss Zhu, and I am not afraid that the owner will not rent it if I renew the contract later.

Boss Zhu was very enthusiastic when he knew that this was a relative of Li Fulang's family, and he was even more happy to know that he would make stewed stew in the future, so that it would be much more convenient for him to eat stewed meat in the future.

Li Da has arranged everything for the two younger generations. The tables, stools, and large iron pots used in his family's business have been brought in, as well as beds, wardrobes, tables, and so on.It's not worth a lot of money to sell it, and it's definitely not worth pulling it back. It's all for the two of them.

"Do it well, don't feel bad about the leftovers, if it's broken, you'd rather dump it than sell it, and you have to be diligent and clean when cooking..."

Brother Xing heard Zhou Zhou talk about his experience when he came, but he listened honestly when his uncle told him again.When everything that needs to be done is done—the business of Jinyu Restaurant is not under the name of Su Gouwa, so naturally there is no need to pay taxes, and Brother Xing's business and taxes are paid by Brother Xing.

It's impossible for the Li family to settle everything, and the Li family has to pay taxes.

Li Da said everything, the two memorized it, and took the couple to do business for another seven days. Seeing that the ingredients were in the right order and the taste was right, they were relieved, and said: "Yuan Yuan will be there when the time comes." I will send it to you, and it is estimated that Zhao'er will come back in another month, and I will have to go to the prefecture and county."

During the seven days of business, the anxious hearts of the couple felt at ease when they saw that the business was selling fast, they closed the store and counted the money.Same as Zhou Zhou said.

When the uncle was about to leave, Wang Shitou and Brother Xing gave the uncle the money they had earned in the past seven days.

Li Da waved his hand, no, "From now on, just live a good life, even if it's just Yuan Yuan alone, don't make any mess."

"I know Uncle, I won't mess around." Wang Shitou said.

No one knows that with Gu Zhao's arrival and Li Zhouzhou's intervention, in the previous life, because Xing Ge'er could not give birth to a second child, under the urging of his mother-in-law, Xing Ge'er's temper became more and more bad, and he was with her all day long. Wang Shitou fought and argued endlessly, and became a resentful couple.Now far away from the gossip in the village, the mother-in-law gave birth, the couple worked hard for business, and the Li family's restraint, Wang Shitou didn't dare to have other thoughts, and he accepted his fate to have a son.

Li Da didn't go back directly, but went to Yan's Village to help Zhou Zhou deliver a message to Xiaoshu.

It was already the end of the month when we arrived in Xiping Village.

"...Xiaoshu is pregnant, it's been more than five months." Li Da came back to see Fubao first, washed his hands and held Fubao, Fubao kept screaming, cherishing it, and took time to talk to Zhou Zhou Two sentences.

Li Zhouzhou counted the days, and immediately said: "..."

It was asked for when Xiao Shu accompanied her to Wannan Prefecture for the exam last year, and it should be while waiting for the announcement of the results.

"I told you how to deal with the business in the prefecture and county. I gave him the money, but he didn't want it at first, so he cried when he heard it. He said he still wanted to do business with you, but I don't know where his man will be transferred in the future." Li Da laughed The creases of his body were deep, and he held Fubao high, Fubao giggled happily, and Li Da also laughed, "Our family Fubao is very courageous, so we are not afraid."

Fu Bao giggled.

Li Zhouzhou sighed, he also wanted to do business with Xiaoshu.

But there is no way.

He sold it to Jinyu Restaurant and got 800 taels of stewed recipes. Li Da listened to Zhou Zhou and gave Xiaoshu 100 taels of silver. Li Zhouzhou said before that he would give Xiaoshu a share, but now he can’t do it, and it may not be possible in the next few years If I didn't see you once, I wrapped the money and gave it away.

The whole friendship.

"I gave it to you forcibly. What's the birth share between you and your brother Zhou Zhou? Didn't you treat Brother Zhou Zhou as a family? As soon as I said Xiaoshu, I took it."

Li Zhouzhou laughed.

It's the end of April, is it time for Xianggong to have a palace test?

The capital, the imperial palace.

In the Zhengji Hall, Emperor Kang Jing sat on the dragon chair, and the great eunuch Wang Zetian handed over the list, "Your Majesty, the results of the palace examination have been released."

"Hmm." Emperor Kang Jing took the list and looked at it casually.

Wang Zetian then understood, and shouted loudly towards the outside of the main hall: "All Jinshi enter the hall." The voice was long and went straight to the square outside the main hall.

There are more than 200 Jinshi waiting outside the main hall.At the end of March last month, the 55-year Juren of Dali Kangjing gathered in the capital to take the Gongshi Examination. It was different from the process of the previous dynasty. In the past, as long as you passed the Juren, taking the Gongshi Examination was a process. The probability is Those who can't be brushed down are all Jinshi.

Just before and after the ranking.

The Dali calendar is different, it has been changed, half of the candidates are selected for the Jinshi examination, and the remaining half is the life of the candidate, and the place of transfer starts from the lowest nine-rank sesame official, which is probably the life of the ninth or eighth rank, but it is better than donating. The official is strong and has room for promotion.

If you pass the Jinshi examination, the minimum is a seventh-rank official.

This is the gap.

In Kangjing’s 55th year, there were 410 candidates, and half of them were selected as Jinshi. Gu Zhao, Zheng Hui, Yan Jinxin and the Yuan Juren were all among them. I learned the previous rules for a day.

After that is the imperial examination.

In April, when the weather was fine, the palace examination was held in the square outside the Zhengji Hall, and they took the examination for about an hour. After collecting the papers, they waited outside.The examination papers were graded by the Taishi with a group of members of the Hanlin Academy. First, a score list was drawn up, and then handed over to the Holy Majesty, who would review and determine the final ranking.

There are three in the first class, the number one scholar, the second place in the list, and Tanhua, and they are awarded the Jinshi and the first place.

Twenty of the top two were awarded Jinshi background.

The top three are the rest, and they were born with Jinshi.

Under normal circumstances, the position of the top three will not change, and the emperor bestows the top one, which will be selected from the top ten.

Two hundred and five Jinshi entered the hall in a proper manner, kowtowed and kowtowed three times and shouted long live.There was a cry from above, and everyone stood up, staring at the toe of the shoe with their faces downcast, and they were not allowed to face the holy face unless they were summoned.

Gu Zhao's position is fairly advanced, in the second row and third from the left. This is based on the rank of the Gongshi. The first row in front of him is the second brother Yan diagonally in front of him, and the bottom of the first row is Zheng Hui.

Among the three, his position is the last.

The hall was quiet, only the sound of flipping papers. Gu Zhao guessed that Emperor Kang Jing was flipping through the papers and stopped after a while. He was planning to call someone.Sure enough, the eunuch Wang Zetian called several people to come out, and they were all in the first row.

Gu Zhao was listening in the second row. If nothing else happened, he should be a second-class Jinshi, which is enough.When it was Brother Yan's turn, Emperor Kang Jing asked a few questions during the school examination. Gu Zhao listened carefully and felt that the voice of the Holy One was quite satisfactory.

As I said before, his articles are down-to-earth, Zheng Hui's articles are beautiful, and the second brother Yan is good at both, and he writes good poems and prose.

A poem was written on the spot.

Gu Zhao smiled inwardly after hearing this, this high-ranking flatterer probably made the Holy Dragon very happy.

Sure enough, the Holy Majesty immediately selected Yan Jingxin as the champion, and even joked, saying that Yan Jingxin was lucky to have a good knowledge of poetry and prose, otherwise he would not be able to choose Tanhualang based on his appearance.

It seems that the second elder brother was in the third place in the first examination results, and only then did Kang Jingdi make jokes.

There were ten people in a row, and even Zheng Hui was asked to answer a few words. Gu Zhao listened in a well-behaved manner, nothing to show off, and the elder brother's voice was a little tight, he should be nervous.

The second place ordered another one.

It's Tanhualang.

Emperor Kang Jing didn't seem to be very satisfied. He looked at the entire first row, and then moved backwards. He even called the people next to Gu Zhao. At first glance, he seemed a little satisfied, saying that his appearance was worthy of Tanhua, but this knowledge—

After asking a few questions, the other party answered well.

Gu Zhao thought in his heart, how could this ancient courtier still look at his appearance.

"Gu Zhao from Ningping County."

Gu Zhao: ...

He stepped forward and waited in good order.The superior Wang Zetian handed Gu Jinshi's paper to the Holy One. After reading it, Emperor Kang Jing showed nothing on his face, but asked Gu Zhao to raise his head to speak.

Gu Zhao: ...

If Emperor Kang Jing hadn't been 62 this year, and he wasn't a fool, Gu Zhao would have been in a trance just by hearing the words 'raise your head' and the black lines were messy.

You can also raise your head to pay attention to the law, but you still can’t look directly at the holy face, which means that you are not allowed to look at Emperor Kang Jing, you just look forward, Emperor Kang Jing sits in a high position on the dragon chair, he can see you, but you can’t see others.

"It looks like a beautiful flower lover."

Emperor Kang Jing was very satisfied with his appearance.Gu Zhao thought to himself.

Where he didn't see it, the chief eunuch Wang Zetian found out Gu Jinshi's birthplace and life survey, and respectfully handed it over.The Holy Majesty was a little interested in this Gu Jinshi, and a slave should be able to wink.

Like those who asked before, Wang Zetian did not hand over this.

Gu Zhao waited for the Holy One to ask. From the ranking of the eldest brother, it can be seen that now he likes the articles of Huatuan Jinxiu and the happy style. He means to flatter the emperor in the prosperous age, and he also wants to shoot fresh and not greasy, but he really is not bragging. Rainbow fart master - apart from bragging about his family Zhou Zhou, this is the truth from the heart.

He quickly made up his mind, and decided to answer pragmatically with three points and seven points—the most infallible person is Tian Gen, and there is a template in front of him, the idol of a humble scholar, Mr. Chu.He decided to paint a picture of the joy of harvest in the farmland for Emperor Kang Jing.Blow with your mouth.

As a result, Emperor Kang Jing asked: "Your surname is Gu, and you are the son-in-law of the Li family?"

Gu Zhao: ...

Why do you ask other students about poetry, poetry or political aspirations, why is it his turn to have a good face and gossip about marriage.

"Returning to the Holy Lord, Gu Zhao did indeed enter the Li family and become the son-in-law of the Li family."

"As a scholar, you become the son-in-law, aren't you afraid of losing your reputation and being ridiculed by scholars all over the world?" Emperor Kang Jing's voice was neither cold nor cold.

……

At the end of May, the weather turned hot.

Fubao is short of one day and six months, and now he can sit. He likes to sit on the kang, babbling and talking to Dad. This meeting is the same, holding a cloth tiger in his arms and feeding it to his mouth.

"Yah~"

Li Zhouzhou coaxed his son in his arms: "Fu Bao is hungry, right? Let's drink milk."

"Can you give the tiger's head to Dad?" He asked for it.

Fubao in his arms looked at Dad, obediently gave his big tiger to Dad, and even waved his arms, babbling, Li Zhouzhou understood, meaning that Dad wanted to play with Dad.

"Fu Bao is so cute."

Li Zhouzhou fed his son a small bowl of goat's milk, picked it up and patted it skillfully, Fu Bao lay on his father's shoulder, and burped out a milky burp. The fleshy legs in Father's arms straightened.

"What's the matter? Is there something uncomfortable?" Li Zhouzhou wondered, he was fed like this before, why is Fubao so happy and cheerful, excited, and even kicked his feet away.

"Yeah!"

Fu Bao kicked his legs and legs, the tiger-toed shoes almost fell off, and his fat feet were held by his father.

Suddenly there was another voice in the room: "I haven't seen you for more than five months. Why are you so chubby? Don't kick it anymore. Your father can't hold you anymore."

Li Zhouzhou, who was putting on shoes for his son, was stunned, then his arms were empty, and when he looked up, he saw Xianggong holding Fubao, looking at him with a smile, and stroking his cheek with one hand.

"It's rounder and looks better." Gu Zhao praised Zhou Zhou.

Li Zhouzhou first smiled, then his eyes turned red, and he wanted to cry.It's the cry of happy miss.

"Don't cry when you come back—"

Before Gu Zhao finished speaking, Fu Bao waved his arms and babbled like a disco in his arms, and threw his fleshy body into Zhou Zhou's arms. He hurriedly protected him with both hands, and Li Zhouzhou was also startled, threatening Fu Bao , "Father is fine, you are not allowed to make trouble, be careful not to fall."

Fu Bao was beaten fiercely by his father, so he pursed his mouth and pretended to be crying.

"There is no fierce fortune treasure, father is worried about fortune treasure." Li Zhouzhou couldn't do anything about this trick to his son, it was exactly the same as when Xianggong acted like a spoiled child.

Fu Bao became happy, giggled, and asked Dad to hug and kiss Dad.

With Fubao making such a fuss, the sensational sadness of meeting again after a long separation is completely gone.Gu Zhao sat down and talked with Zhou Zhou and his father, "Second brother Yan and I are both top-ranked scholars. He is the number one scholar, and I am the first-ranked scholar. Brother Zheng is from the second-class Jinshi."

"The three of us stayed in Beijing. My second brother Yan and I entered the Imperial Academy. The second elder brother was editing the seventh-rank Hanlin. I reviewed it from the seventh-rank Hanlin. The elder brother went to the Ministry of Rites and became Yuanwailang. He was slightly higher than us. Six grades."

Li Zhouzhou was delighted to hear that, and the main point to focus on was: Did everyone stay in Beijing? !Very good.

Then I forgot to ask why Xianggong and Second Brother Yan are the first, but how to be an official is not as good as Brother Zheng.

"Great, count the days, the little tree will be born in a month or so, and the road to the capital after confinement will be tiring and tiring."

Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He only heard from his second brother that after the results were announced, he and Zheng Hui went to the capital, and Zhang Ma, sister-in-law Liu Fulang and the three of them were escorted back by their college students who were taking the same exam. It's too much trouble.

The delay in going to Beijing was more than half a year.

Thinking about it this way, the second brother probably didn't know that Liu Fulang was pregnant.He arrived home a day or two early, probably either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the second elder brother has also arrived in the village, and there is some excitement, but it's a pity that he can't see it.

Let the elder brother and the second elder brother laugh at him!

A string of firecrackers exploded at Zheng's house in Ping'an Town.

Last year, Zheng Hui Zhongju already had a lively banquet, and now there will be another firecracker battle. The servants of the Zheng family were beaming, and sent happy money to passers-by who watched the excitement and said auspicious words, and said crisply: "My family's second youngest Jinshi was born in Beijing. became an official."

He didn't know what Jinshi background was, he learned it from his master.

Anyway, if you are an official in Beijing, you must be powerful.

Zheng's courtyard is in the main room.

"I'm a second class, and I've been blessed to have entered the Ministry of Rites and become a member of the sixth rank."

Zheng's father knew that Gu and Yan were top-ranked, one was the first-ranked scholar and the other was the first-ranked scholar. He envied him, but he was not jealous. He patted his son on the shoulder with satisfaction, and excitedly said three good-bye. Taste.

"Isn't it ranked higher than you?" Zheng's family was puzzled, because the size of the official is not as good as his family's.

Zheng Hui then explained: "Today's elders, everyone is from Hanlin..."

The author has something to say:

I caught the bug, and revised the total of 410 candidates in the whole country. It was indeed too few before. Half of them were selected as Jinshi, and the top two were twenty.

The official positions of the three brothers were changed. Zheng Hui, the host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, was from the sixth-rank member Wailang, and he strictly believed in the revision of the seventh-rank official of the Imperial Academy.

In fact, I originally wanted to write that Gu Zhao was a second-class student who was admitted to the Imperial Academy, but he was still given the golden finger.

And Yan Jingxin is a figure of god of learning, with inherent talent, comparable to the former Lord Chu.If Gu Zhao hadn't come, he would have been a top-notch type of rigorous and trustworthy, but he and Xiaoshu were in the status of a husband and wife who respected each other as guests, and they were the type of people who devoted their entire lives to serving the country and the people.

Zheng Hui was influenced by Gu Zhao, but the butterfly is bigger
