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

Chapter 767

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, he gave Qiu Yifan a strange look.

"I've read it before, and I still have the impression in my mind."

Qiu Yifan turned pale with shock. He saw that Gu Chengyu hadn't even found a book, so he started to compile it, so he naturally muttered in his heart.

He felt that without relevant books, could Gu Chengyu rely on his memory?

Hearing what Gu Chengyu said now, he felt that it was simply a fantasy.

But after all, he has been an official for several years, so it is naturally impossible for him to lose his composure.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu's memory to be so extraordinary. Could it be that Mr. Gu just has a photographic memory as the old saying goes?"

Qiu Yifan smiled, but after he blurted out, he felt something was wrong.

No matter how you listen to these words, there is a hint of irony. How can there be such a person in the world who has an unforgettable memory?Anyway, he didn't know it.

It is great to be able to remember a book with a good memory after reading it three or five times, otherwise the imperial examination would not be so difficult.

Although reading does not depend entirely on memorization, you must also have your own opinions and write good articles.But if you can memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, it shouldn't be too difficult to be a scholar, right?

But how many people can be admitted to the world as a scholar?Those who participated in the county examination were only among the best.

Qiu Yifan shook his head, maybe Mr. Gu has spent a lot of effort on these books, and it's not uncommon for him to memorize them by heart?

"I don't dare to do it, it's just hard work!" Gu Chengyu didn't intend to be too high-profile, and besides, it has nothing to do with being an official.

Those who are able work hard, they are too outstanding, it is difficult to integrate into these colleagues, and it also gives people a sense of arrogance and conceit, and it is difficult to get close.

In fact, what Gu Chengyu didn't know was that he had already become a man of the hour in the Imperial Academy.

Whether it's the holy family, or the tea tax and preface, not to mention the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, they all remember him, but that's pretty much the same.

After hearing this, Qiu Yifan couldn't help but feel that what he said just now was too harsh, so he quickly wanted to make amends.

Qiu Yifan has always been slick, and he is very good at speaking and doing things.But this time he lost his composure. Just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, a voice came from outside the door.

"I pay my respects to Mr. Qiu!"

Gu Chengyu listened to the voice and found it familiar.

"So it's Kong Shishu, come in quickly!" Qiu Yifan was not surprised by the visitor, and raised his voice to invite.

Kong Shishu came in with a stack of books, and saw Gu Chengyu sitting on the seat.

"Master Gu? Have you returned to the capital? I'll pay my respects to Mr. Gu!"

Gu Chengyu glanced at the stack of books in Kong Shishu's hand, and said with a smile: "I came back yesterday, this is Kong Shishu?"

"Look back, sir! This is the book I found for Lord Qiu, and it is related to the canon."

At this time, Qiu Yifan stepped forward and interjected, "Put all the books here! I am really sorry, thank you!"

Kong Shishu repeatedly said that he dared not take the position, "I can't afford to be thanked by the lord. It is an honor to be an official to share the worries and labors of the lord. In the future, if the lord still needs it, just order the next official to do it."

"Master Gu, these are books related to the Ministry of Rites, and I asked Kong Shishu to help find them." Qiu Yifan said, and went forward to pick up a book and began to look through it.

Um?Is there such an operation?Gu Chengyu was dumbfounded.

But then he felt that this might be the norm, and it was no wonder that everyone wanted to be a high-ranking official.You only need to order to do things, and there are plenty of officials below to share their worries and relieve their labor.

He forgot again, this dynasty has distinct levels, how could these officials do everything by themselves?
"Did Mr. Gu receive an errand from Mr. Zhang?" Kong Shishu turned around and saluted Gu Chengyu, and asked.

Gu Chengyu nodded, "Exactly! Received the sub-file from the Ministry of Punishment."

When Kong Shishu heard this, he quickly replied: "If you have something to do, just tell me, and I will try my best to complete it."

Kong Shishu had long wanted to curry favor with this venerable Mr. Gu, but Mr. Qiu was still here, so he was ashamed to do too much, lest Mr. Qiu would have prejudice against him.

Gu Chengyu chuckled, "I haven't started yet, if you need it in the future, please ask Kong Shishu for help."

This is the case in the officialdom, if Gu Chengyu directly rejects Kong Shishu, Kong Shishu will inevitably lose face.

Although Kong Shishu was a little disappointed, he was not discouraged, and there was still a chance next time.

After Kong Shishu left, Qiu Yifan put the book on the table, "Master Gu is not used to it yet? Things like this are commonplace. If Master Gu has something to do, he can order these subordinate officials to do it."

Qiu Yifan was a little surprised when he saw Gu Chengyu's face just now, knowing that Gu Chengyu had just entered the Imperial Academy not long ago, perhaps he didn't know the common sense of the officialdom, and probably thought that these things were all done by himself.

Gu Chengyu touched his nose and said with a smile: "I just think they are quite busy. I have read all these, and I can find books faster than them."

The corner of Qiu Yifan's mouth curled up into a smile, "They were originally going to help us complete the ceremony, Master Gu just ordered it."

Gu Chengyu secretly sighed in his heart, this is not much different from taking the credit for being a subordinate official to himself.

However, Gu Chengyu would not be stupid enough to argue.After all, he is also a layman.

After that, the two stopped talking and went about their own business.

When the sun was setting, Gu Chengyu ordered Mingmo to send Ye Zhiqiu back after his dismissal, while he went to Yin Kun's residence.

"Senior brother! You went to Yingnan Mansion to do business this time, did you meet the teacher's son-in-law, Master Yan?"

Gu Chengyu and Yin Kun talked about their return to their hometown, and then asked about Yin Kun's last errand to Yingnan Mansion.

"I see, but this time he was almost implicated in Xia Zhou's case."

Yin Kun poured a cup of tea for Gu Chengyu, frowning slightly.

Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. Could it be that the bottom of Yan Huinong's butt is really not clean?But didn't the teacher write to him before?

"But have you ever collected the money?" The senior brother didn't need to hide it before, so Gu Chengyu naturally opened up and said.

Yin Kun shook his head, "Not really, but he was implicated in this matter."

After speaking, Yin Kun slowly talked about going to Yingnan Mansion.

It turned out that Yin Kun went to Yingnan Mansion to arrest Xia Zhou under the emperor's order. Since Xia Zhou was a member of Xia Qing's family that Xia Qing was about to sacrifice, there would definitely not be any troubles, and the Xia clan would naturally cooperate.

It's just that Xia Zhou is not an idiot either, knowing that he was pulled out by Xia Qing and his clan to top the vat, how could he be reconciled?
Even though he was threatened by his family members with his family's life, he still put them together before he died.

His account books in the open have already been searched by his clansmen, but he has left behind.

The two account books left behind are not complete, but the content in them is enough to make the Xia family suffer a big fall.

What's more, the money he gave to Xia Qing every year is written in it, which is the amulet he left to his wife and children.

"The ledger ended up in your hands?"

Yin Kun said so much in one go, his throat felt dry, so he picked up the tea bowl and drank tea.

At the same time, I also want to hang Gu Chengyu's appetite, who wants Gu Chengyu to point it out directly.
