This is luck, this must be his luck.
This exam was all decided by the examiner. Each examiner had their own preferences, and Gu Hai just matched the examiner's temperament.
But why him? Why was he blocking his way again
luck? Where did his good luck come from
Gu Yu stood outside the window of the meeting hall, quietly looking at the budding branches sprouting from the corner of the room. His face became paler and his eyes grew colder.
He turned around and strode away from the window. Everyone he saw on the road, whether servants or relatives, men, women, old and young, all saluted and said hello with envious respect.
Let alone the second place, the top ten in this exam will be highly sought after in Jiankang City.
Gu Yu walked away quickly with a calm expression, without any joy in his eyes.
The conversation in the room ended here. Regardless of whether everyone was surprised or envious, there was no doubt that Gu Hai was the leader of the crime.
No matter what, it is a great joy that students from the Gu family have won both the first and second place.
As usual, everyone who passes the exam will have a banquet to celebrate.
"Let's do this. I'll pay for it and give Brother Hai a banquet." Gu Changchun stood up and made a decision.
There is no need to ask for opinions. No one will object, I'm afraid everyone will pack more gifts.
When you gain power, you will be followed by many people. This is the way of the world, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Grandpa..." Someone suddenly said.
Gu Changchun Xun Sheng looked with a bit of dissatisfaction, "How is it?"
"Well, when I came here just now, I saw that a banquet had been held at the fourth master's house, and I said 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 want to make a fool of yourself and pretend to be fat
He snorted and was about to speak when the man held out three fingers tremblingly.
"They also said that it would take three days..."
Gu Changchun's words were stuck in his throat and he almost choked and coughed.
As expected, the banquet was placed on Gujia Street. Regardless of relatives, friends or acquaintances, just come and sit down to eat.
When Gu Changchun arrived, Mrs. Cao was surrounded by a group of women talking and laughing, and their words of praise and congratulations almost lifted her to the sky.
Mr. Cao laughed and cried at the same time.
Gu Changchun glanced at the little girl standing aside. She was wearing an azure multicolored cross-collared long coat. She had a slight smile on her lips, but her eyes were calm.
He coughed, and Gu Shiba Niang turned her eyes and looked at him indifferently.
"This is a little bit of the family's wishes..." Gu Changchun said. He felt very uncomfortable. He was obviously here to congratulate and give money, but somehow he seemed to be begging them to accept it.
The elders behind him laughed and responded, and two young men came forward holding a tray covered with red cloth.
Gu Shiba Niang glanced at him.
"Thank you Clan Chief for your kind words." She said calmly, changing the topic, "It's just that there is no such rule in the clan. It will be criticized by others, so please take it back."
Refused? Everyone was a little surprised.
"Since we are here, I would like to invite all the elders to have a glass of water and wine before we leave." Gu Shiba Niang said with a smile and gave a brief salute to everyone, "There are few people in the family and the affairs are complicated, so I will excuse you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without saying another word to them.
I remember when we, mother and son, were isolated and ostracized, and none of you could say a fair word. How could a few kind words and a smile warm up the cold words we once had.
The hustle and bustle of the world is all for benefit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for benefit. When I am humble, you can trample on me at will, so why can't you despise and disdain me when I am high
"Why is this child so stubborn..." Someone laughed dryly, and his eyes fell on Gu Changchun.
Gu Changchun looked ugly, sneered, waved his hand and said: "In that case, take it back."
Isn't it just a small master who knows how to test cases? Do you really think that you have won the title of toad palace
Gu Leshan, who had been standing behind and watching everyone's actions, hurriedly came over.
"That...grandpa...the spice shop...look..." he whispered hesitantly.
Gu Changchun snorted, "Can you do business if you can write articles?" Looking at the lively banquet outside, he felt even more depressed, "How can we maintain a business with such extravagance and squandering?"
Gu Leshan breathed a huge sigh of relief. He didn't take Gu Shiba Niang's words to heart at first and turned around and forgot about them. But suddenly Gu Hai was the head of the case, which made him shocked.
This was really unexpected. I was afraid that the patriarch would really use this to transfer the spice shop to them. The money was also on the one hand. The key was that Gu Leshan would lose all his face.
"That's right, that's right, what's the point of being a good case master..." He laughed and said, "My Yu'er is still the second best. He has only studied for a few days. If it had been a month earlier, how would the case chief have gotten him?" ….”
When Gu Yu was mentioned, Gu Changchun's face improved a lot. He nodded. Indeed, this child was also very unexpected. When he heard people say that he was smart, he didn't believe it. With Gu Leshan and those children in front of him, he couldn't believe it. It’s really hard for people to believe…
Unexpectedly, I only entered the school for a month and ended up second in high school. The most difficult thing is that this child is good-looking and knows how to be grateful...
"What's yours..." Gu Changchun glanced at Gu Leshan, and as far as he could see, Huang Shiying, dressed in simple and elegant clothes, came with Gu Yu, "Be careful what you say..."
Gu Leshan said yes with a smile, not caring about it in his heart. It was Gu Leshan's blood that was flowing on his body. This could not be changed even if he didn't call him dad. He thought happily and proudly. He had forgotten it until a few months ago. Before, he had 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, all asking him to drink.
Gu Hai shook his head and refused.
"After ten years of hard work, we have just taken the first step. The future is long, and you and I can't just squander it..." he said with a smile.
"To be happy in life, you must have all the fun, so why not have all the fun in one day?" Gu Yu said with a smile.
Hearing the voice, everyone turned around and saw the handsome and handsome Gu Yu taking off his cloak, revealing a black moiré satin robe.
"Well done, well done..." Everyone laughed, stretched out their hands to pull him over, and gave him a glass of wine.
"You two brothers, both the top two and the top two, are not allowed to drink wine."
Everyone laughed.
"You can't say that... I'm just trying..." Gu Hai waved his hands hurriedly.
"Just eat it. Everyone knows that you are upright and down-to-earth. You are not afraid that this glass of wine will ruin you..." Gu Qian smiled, put his arm around his shoulders, and drank a glass of wine.
"Master." Lingbao walked in with a smile.
In order to celebrate the occasion, Gu Shiba Niang made new clothes for everyone in her family, and Lingbao and Lingyuan were no exception.
At this time, Lingbao was wearing a goose-yellow jacket and a carefree bun. She had been living a carefree life for the past few months. Her face was rosy and she looked pretty and cute.
Everyone in the room looked over. Except for Gu Yu and Gu Qian, who just glanced casually and then looked away, everyone else looked at the little girl with interest.
"The young lady said that the theater troupe has arrived and wants the young masters to go to the garden to listen to the opera." Lingbao said.
"Okay, I understand." Gu Hai replied.
Seeing Lingbao go out, the boys looked away and teased Gu Hai.
"It turns out that there is also a companion reading of Hongxiu Tianxiang..."
Everyone knew the conditions of Gu Hai's family, but what they saw when they entered the house this time was completely different from what was said in the legend.
The garden is clean and tidy, the tables are well arranged, there are few servants, but they move and retreat appropriately, the mother is dignified and gentle, the sister is delicate and quiet, and there is a beautiful little girl. How can this be what they call a beggar-like family? If beggars lived like this, they would all become beggars.
In response to this kind of joke, Gu Hai didn't show the shyness of a young man, he just smiled.
"She is not my servant, so don't be rude." He said.
Everyone either believed it or not, chatted and laughed for a while, had a few glasses of wine, and wanted to go out to watch a show.
Gu Hai turned his gaze to Gu Yu, who was also looking over and raised his glass of wine with a smile. Gu Hai also smiled and raised his head to eat.
"...Senior brother is slightly better this time..." He took a few steps closer, looked at Gu Hai and smiled.
"...God's good luck..." Gu Hai sighed quite a bit. Thinking back to everything now, a year ago they were living in poverty in a corner of the countryside, relying on selling off their property to survive, and his studies were about to be interrupted. In the blink of an eye, everything changed after my sister woke up after being injured...
According to what my sister said, I should be no longer alive now. How can I still stand here, brightly dressed, high-spirited, accepting everyone's congratulations and envy, and there is a bright future ahead.
God is so blessed, Gu Hai felt his heart heavy. Only by being down-to-earth and doing things can he live up to God's love.
Suddenly feeling a cold gaze falling on him, Gu Hai couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He looked at Gu Yu opposite him, only to see that he had already turned away and was slowly turning the wine glass with his hand.
"...Junior's talent is astonishing, and he will definitely become a blockbuster..." Gu Hai thought for a moment and smiled sincerely at him.
This was what he was saying. When Gu Shiba Niang said that Gu Yu had won three yuan in a row, he still didn't believe it. How could it be possible for such a person who had never entered the school...
But after this exam, he was convinced that this person was indeed an extraordinary person.
He couldn't help but look at Gu Yu. The young man had a handsome appearance and acted calmly and gracefully.
Sensing his scrutiny, Gu Yu turned his gaze and raised his glass to Gu Hai. The smile on his lips was a little brighter. His lips moved slightly, as if he had said something. Gu Hai couldn't help but his expression condensed, and then Looking at Gu Yu, he threw the wine glass away, threw his cloak casually, and walked away.
The teenagers were already shouting and heading out to watch the show. Gu Hai stood behind the crowd with a solemn look on his face.
He said your luck ends here.
The banquet was in full swing, the stage was buzzing with gongs and drums, and everywhere you looked there was laughter and noise.
"Fourth brother and sister, the cost this time is not small." A woman who was close to Mr. Cao asked in a low voice.
Cao was also shocked by this banquet in her heart, and her face showed a bit of panic at this time.
This is indeed too expensive. Of course, there are many families holding banquets in Jiankang City at this time, and many of them have higher standards than theirs. However, their family is a little special. The orphans and widowers have no property or land...
Mrs. Cao's eyes couldn't help but look at Gu Shiba Niang beside her.
"Money is for spending, and you just earn it after you spend it." Gu Shiba Niang turned her head and said with a smile.
Although this sentence is short, it is not simple in human ears.
"Eighteen Mother, how do you earn money? Tell the aunts and sisters, let us also learn..." A woman with a cheerful personality was pushed out and asked jokingly.
"It's just a drug store to sell medicine." Gu Shiba Niang knew what they meant and answered readily.
"A drug store? Does your family have a drug store?" Seeing that she was willing to talk, the women hurriedly asked.
Gu Shiba Niang had said this sentence before, but now when these women repeated it, their tone became much more solemn, and they obviously no longer regarded it as a joke.
Gu Shiba Niang nodded and said nothing. It wasn't that she didn't want to say anything, but the sound of congratulations came from outside again.
This time, a list of names of medicine shops were reported. Gu Shiba Niang got up and went out. Since everyone came here for her face, she had to give these people face.
Hearing the names of these medicine shops, the women in the room opened their mouths in surprise. It turned out that everything was true. The Cao family and her daughter were not joking.
They are no strangers to those medicine shops. What kind of medicine shop should be opened that deserves such attention from these big medicine shops
The news soon spread to every household of the Gu family as the banquet ended.
"What? She is Liu Gong's disciple?" Gu Changchun asked with a strange look on his face after hearing the news.
Someone has already told Liu Gong's origin, status and deeds, etc.
"Who is I, Mr. Liu, the natural way?" Gu Changchun interrupted the man impatiently, tapping his fingers on the table, "Is she a disciple of Mr. Liu?"
He said to himself, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Absurd." He stopped laughing, with anger condensing between his eyebrows. "Not to mention her age, let's talk about her identity. Gu Leyun was once an official in the imperial court. The Cao family came from an innocent family of poets and craftsmen? They would let themselves Even if his daughter would rather starve to death, I don’t think Mr. Cao would let her become a craftsman and fall into this trap.”
What is a craftsman? He is not allowed to take part in scientific examinations or join the scholarly clan.
It is not even as good as a merchant, because many craftsmen are controlled by public or private workshops and businesses. To put it bluntly, craftsmen are no different from slaves.
Of course, except for those famous craftsmen, those who have reached their level are their own shopkeepers. They will no longer be controlled by others, and no one can make them sign a life and death contract.
But so what, they are still just craftsmen.
"Gu Leyun has been obsessed with fame all his life. The Cao family adheres to women's ethics. Will the daughter of the Shili family become a craftsman? Will she have to marry a craftsman in the future?" Gu Changchun said with a half-smile but not a smile.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you. This is indeed incredible.
"Maybe he didn't become a disciple, but just received guidance?" someone said.
"What kind of master is that?" Gu Changchun sneered.
That is true, among these craftsmen, the most important thing is the name of master and apprentice. Who dares to admit the relationship between master and apprentice without paying homage to the ancestor and receiving the initiation ceremony.
"Then what's going on?"
"...Are those so-called Liu Gong's medicines fake?"
"...You think those medicine shops are opened by fools..."
There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Gu Changchun waved his hand to stop everyone from talking, "Needless to say, just ask Mrs. Cao to come over and find out. I'm afraid it's not good..."
Fraud….
Everyone thought of this. If Gu Shiniang really got such money by committing fraud, then once it happens, not to mention Gu Hai's future will definitely be ruined, and even the Gu family will also be affected. It is inevitable to be implicated.
What does it mean to be a clansman? We all depend on each other for blessings and misfortunes.
"If you are so bold and reckless to commit fraud..." Gu Changchun looked solemnly, stood up, and looked around the crowd, "Then open the ancestral hall and remove the family tree.
