The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 493
A good generation of loyal ministers was charged with unwarranted crimes, and even if he died, he would not be safe at the end of the day.

Then Song Shujing was wronged too!Exiled for thousands of miles, maybe he died on the way.Even if he didn't die, seeing his family fall apart and suffering, he would surely be living a life worse than death.

There is also Guo Shi, who always harms others and himself.If it weren't for his greed, he wouldn't have caused such disasters.Pitiful to his family, being implicated by him, and finally dying.

However, fortunately, the Guo family left three bloodlines earlier, and Gu Chengyu also left him a foundation for the Guo family.

Gu Chengyu felt chills all over his body. This political game involved innocent people and was treated as pawns by those who played tricks.

Only now did he deeply feel that this is the real supremacy of imperial power, this is the country of the Zhao family.

In this way, the First Prince would be punished privately at most, and it would be absolutely impossible for him to be dealt with in the open.

Made such a big mistake, but it was resolved in such an understatement, the emperor didn't want to investigate it thoroughly in the first place, right?Gu Chengyu has a new understanding of the eldest prince's favor.

"My lord! Just now the concierge received the posts, and they were sent by the Hu Mansion." When the steward of the outer court delivered the daily posts, he separated the posts from the Hu Mansion.After all, he is an official of the imperial court, and the others are invitations from the literary society.

"Oh? Let me take a look!" Gu Chengyu didn't need to guess to know that Hu Maoshen couldn't help it anymore. Hu Maoshen might want to discuss countermeasures with him, or he wanted him to produce stronger evidence.

Sure enough, Gu Chengyu opened the post, and it said to meet Gu Chengyu, but the place was at his restaurant, and the time was noon.Gu Chengyu pondered for a while, the matter has come to this point, even Gu Chengyu can't do anything, unless the emperor changes his attitude, otherwise the ending will be irreversible.

Not to mention that he has no evidence at all, no matter how unwilling Hu Maoshen is, he can't dig his own grave, right?
Although he didn't want to go, he had helped him before, no matter what Hu Maoshen's starting point was, it had helped him indirectly.

Besides, we will work together in the officialdom in the future, so we can't justify not seeing each other.

Gu Chengyu suddenly thought of the three children sent by Guo's mansion. He was too busy these days, so he forgot about it.However, the case is closed now, and the three children are temporarily placed in the market, relatively speaking, it is safer, and they are hiding in the city!
Only the prostitute is already 12 years old, she is not an ignorant child, she must know what happened at home.Now that Guo's mansion has been copied, if that girl did something unexpected, she might implicate Gu Chengyu.

"The three children who came out of Guo's mansion, you ask the guards to watch over them carefully, and don't let them run out." Gu Chengyu planned to wait for the news to pass, and then send the three of them away, far away.The old man of the Guo Mansion also prepared a lot of silver taels and expensive jewelry for the three children.

However, in order not to arouse suspicion, only the dowry was given to the female relatives in the family, and the rest was not dared to touch.

Otherwise, when the money is searched, no money will be found, and the right and wrong will be added in vain.

"By the way, the girl said that she wanted to see the young master and wanted to thank you in person! She said that she has something important for you."

Ming Mo almost forgot about it, it was the guards guarding the three who reported it to him, he was busy today, so he almost forgot, Ming Mo patted his head.

Gu Chengyu was a little strange, what did the girl want to see him for?Could it be that he thought he was capable of saving them?As for the important things, they are of no use to him anymore.However, he changed his mind and thought it wouldn't hurt to go and have a look.

"Tell her that I'll be there later, maybe I won't be there until Xushi." It's almost time for the curfew at Xushi, so it's so late that it won't attract attention.He has lightness skills, and it is easy to avoid patrolling soldiers.

It should be enough to talk with Hu Maoshen for an hour, but in fact it will not take so long, because there is no room for turning around this matter.

As soon as Youshi arrived, Gu Chengyu arrived at Juxianglou. Gu Wanqian got the news a long time ago and greeted him from the restaurant.

"Uncle! Master Hu is already here." Gu Wanqian was helping out in the restaurant recently, and Gu Chengyu felt that he could find something to do for him. There is a shopkeeper Niu in the restaurant, so there is no need for another shopkeeper.

"Well! Come to my house tomorrow. I want to do some other business recently. I need to find a workshop. You can buy me some servants. You will be responsible for this business."

Gu Chengyu entered the restaurant, ignored the crowded lobby, and went directly to the private room on the second floor.

When Gu Wanqian heard this, his face became a little more happy.He has been helping out in the restaurant for the past two years, and sometimes manages Yipinzhai's account books.He has learned almost the same, but his uncle has so much to do for a living, and he gradually feels that there is nothing to do.

His grandma dragged others to write a letter, saying that he was not too young and it was time to marry a wife.However, he rejected it. He felt that he was only 16 years old, and he was not too old. In the past few years, he had worked for his uncle and had saved almost 300 taels of silver.In another year or so, he will be able to buy a small house in Nancheng, and he will have his own nest.

Now my uncle has given me another errand, as long as I do well, I will get more rewards and monthly money, after all, he is also in charge.When he bought the house, he brought his grandma to the capital and lived with him.

Gu Chengyu is not very old now, and he hasn't considered major events in life yet.Even the letter from home didn't mention this matter, so it was impossible for Gu Chengyu to think of it.He never thought that everyone around him was old enough to get married and have children.

Therefore, he never thought about the major events in Gu Wanqian's life.After all, in his heart, 16 is still young!
Seeing that the private room was about to arrive, Gu Wanqian, who was leading the way, quickly calmed down, "Uncle! Then Master Hu is inside!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, opened the door of the private room and walked straight in.

"Master Gu!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu saw someone, Hu Maoshen called him.So he saluted Hu Maoshen, "Lord Hu!"

"I have an appointment with Mr. Gu today, Mr. Gu must have known the purpose of my visit." Hu Maoshen waited for Gu Chengyu to sit down, and then cut straight to the point.

Of course Gu Chengyu knew Hu Maoshen's intention when he saw him, but he smiled and didn't speak.Ming Mo winked and poured tea for Gu Chengyu, and added a bowl for Hu Maoshen.

Hu Mao frowned deeply. The last time Gu Chengyu was in a hurry, he didn't have the same attitude as today.Now that he is the anxious person, the taste is not so good.

"Master Hu, what happened last time is over, I don't know what Master Hu is looking for?" Gu Chengyu pretended to be confused, and he didn't plan to intervene in this matter anymore.The most important thing for him now is to prepare for the imperial examination. As long as he does not endanger his interests, he only needs to know about other matters in the court.
