The farmer has a mall

Chapter 522 Yu Ci's Rank

In the palace examination, the examiner first marks the papers, and then picks out the top [-] and presents them to the emperor, and then the emperor selects the No. [-] scholar and Tanhua.

Gu Congyuan was able to take the third place in the exam even though he failed the paper, which shows that his knowledge is not inferior.

As long as you don't make any big mistakes in the palace test, you can still be in the top ten.

Lu Qing had no objection to Gu Congyuan, his nephew, and he was very pleased to hear that he did so well in the exam.

He laughed twice, and said in a happy mood: "It seems that my general's mansion needs another talented man."

He looked at Gu Yao, and couldn't hide his joy on his face: "Father, it's a good story to be a second-time Jinshi. You just wait for the bankruptcy."

If there is a Jinshi in a mansion, the whole street will come to ask for money, especially if they are from such a family, colleagues and friends will also come to congratulate, and red envelopes will be indispensable at that time.

It's not about breaking the bank!

Mrs. Gu was also very happy. Although she didn't want to see the West Courtyard, it was Aunt Qiu who she didn't want to see the most.

Now that Aunt Qiu is gone, she has no objection to Gu Congyuan, a junior.

"If you lose your money, you will lose your money. I hope they will be more successful and bring back the title of No. [-] Scholar Tanhua. At that time, even if they lose their fortune, they will be rewarded!" Mrs. Gu laughed.

Gu Yao was originally afraid that his old wife would mind Gu Congyuan's identity, so he was relieved when he heard her say that, and laughed along with him.

He stroked his beard and said: "Don't be greedy, a second Jinshi has already given us a lot of face, and besides, my general's mansion is the home of generals, what kind of champion do you want?"

After Gu Yao finished speaking, he cleared his throat, straightened his back, and couldn't hide the pride on his face.

Obviously duplicity.

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, they followed him.

After Gu Nanyan laughed, he became a little interested in No.2.

She looked at the worried boy, and asked kindly, "What's the name of the second one?"

The smile on the boy's face froze, he looked up at Gu Yao, and said awkwardly: "The second one is... the eldest uncle."

Uncle?
Yu Ci?

Gu Nanyan raised her eyebrows.

Yu Ci's knowledge is indeed good, and he was once a famous figure in the capital.

It's just that compared to Gu Yunze who has been pressing on top of his head, it's still far behind.

As soon as the boy said this, the room was suddenly quiet.

Gu Yao's originally happy expression also faded.

For Yu Weisheng's son, Gu Yao didn't have a deep impression, he only knew that he was his grandson's classmate, so he didn't feel bad at first.

The reason why he agreed to help Sanfang withdraw his marriage before was because the third daughter-in-law brought Gu Peiling to beg him before leaving the house.

He thought that what Gu Zhengkang did had nothing to do with her, and he agreed to help because of Gu Congyuan.

Unexpectedly, her eldest daughter caused a scandal when she turned around, and finally married.

He was getting older, and his energy was not as good as before. When he knew this, he just sighed and didn't ask any more questions after that.

But a few days ago, a colleague came to me and said that Gu Peiling had sued Yu Ci, and the colleague wanted to ask him what he meant.

Gu Yao was confused.

After asking, I found out that Gu Peiling borrowed money from outside and couldn't repay it, causing debt collectors to come to the door, making the house restless, and almost demolishing the house.

In anger, Yu Ci wrote a letter of divorce.

Gu Peiling didn't want to, she immediately made a fuss, crying endlessly outside the gate of Yu's house.

Her tossing made Yu Zhi even more annoyed, and he was determined not to take back the divorce letter.

Gu Peiling had no choice but to gnash her teeth and file a complaint, which will be brought to court for abandoning her poor wife.

Although it is disgusting to abandon a poor wife, there is no law that prohibits this.

In addition, Yu Ci had already entered the examination room, so he might be a student of the emperor in the future. The government didn't want to cause trouble, so he sent the complaint back and refused to accept the case.

Gu Peiling was not reconciled, so she asked some expert for advice, and sounded the drum of grievance again. This time, she didn't talk about divorcing her wife, but asked the Yu family to return the dowry to her.

According to the laws of the Jianan Kingdom, the dowry is a woman's private property and cannot be taken by her husband's family.

Although Gu Peiling's dowry was given to Yu Ci voluntarily by her, no one else knew about it.

They only know that since Gu Peiling came in, Yu Ci's life has become more prosperous.

Not only are food and drink expenses no longer tight, but I also have spare money to go shopping and drink flowers and wine with a group of scholars from good families.

That's right, drinking flower wine.

When Yu Ci cheated Gu Peiling of money, he was talking about exchanging ideas with his classmates, but in reality the experience was exchanged in the flower building.

Everyone knows what kind of experience can be exchanged there.

Gu Peiling didn't know this, Yu Ciguan would give her money if she wanted it, and borrow it if she had no money, which also made him happy for a long time. His daily expenses ranged from a dozen to 20 taels to hundreds of taels.

The Yu family was ransacked at the beginning, and there was not a penny or a piece of paper left. How could there be so much money?
After Gu Peiling's disturbance, the people who eat melons suddenly realized.

Feelings are all his daughter-in-law's dowry!
But Gu Peiling insisted that Yu Ci stole her dowry silver without her knowledge, and she didn't ask for reconciliation, only for the dowry to be returned to her.

Her trick can be described as brilliant.

Why did Yu Ci take her dowry money?

Datou naturally took it to clear up the relationship, so that he could stay in the capital temporarily.

Can you talk about this?

Certainly not!
Not only was he unlucky when he said it, but also the officials at the cash register.

At that time, they must not unite to take revenge on him.

Since it can't be said, where did Gu Peiling's dowry go?

Say you don't know?

What if Gu Peiling dies and tells the story?

Yu Zhi definitely didn't dare to take this risk, and he couldn't pay her back the money. The only way was to withdraw the divorce certificate, as if the divorce had never happened.

When Gu Yao learned what had happened, he stood at the gate of the palace without making a sound for a long time. The colleague looked at him and did not ask any further questions, just waiting on the sidelines.

After a long while, Gu Yao said slowly: "This old man is a martial artist, so he can't settle cases. Just follow the rules. You don't have to talk about this family's affairs with this old man again."

When the colleague heard what he said, he immediately understood what he meant, and received the pleading paper after returning, which was equivalent to interrogating him after he came out of the examination room.

So on the day when the examination ended, he was taken away by the officials as soon as he walked out of the examination room.

What happened after that, Gu Yao didn't ask specifically.

However, I have completely lost my affection for this person, and I feel disgusted when I suddenly hear his name.

After hearing this, Gu Nanyan found it quite interesting.

Gu Peiling told Yu Ci, and she still wanted to get cheap from the Min family, so there was no delay on both sides.

But it has nothing to do with her, just listen to it.

……

The results of the general examination were released, followed by the palace examination.

On the day of the imperial examination, the elders of the Gu family had a rare conscience and sent Gu Nanyan and the Guo family as representatives to send the Gu family brothers to the imperial examination.

As for the other masters of the Gu family...

Just sent them to the carriage symbolically, and went to do their own business.

Gu Nanyan didn't want to complain anymore, so she and Mrs. Guo sent the two into the palace, and found a nearby restaurant to wait.

During her son's palace examination, Mrs. Guo was not nervous at all. Instead, she took Gu Nanyan to eat and drink all morning, listening to storytellers in the lobby of the restaurant. It was very pleasant.

In Guo's words, the General's Mansion is already in its prime, so things like icing on the cake are dispensable.

Of course, it would be better if you fail the exam, so as not to gain too much limelight and make people jealous.

Gu Nanyan: "..."

Gu Yunze studied hard for ten years, but what he got in return was such an indifferent attitude from the Gu family, it makes me sad to think about it.

There was only one question in the palace exam, and the candidates were released from the palace at noon.

Different from the general examination, every candidate looked nervous.

The palace examinations are generally about current policy, and there is no fixed answer to this kind of thing. It all depends on the likes and dislikes of the examiner and the emperor, and the final result is hard to say.

Perhaps because he knew what the Gu family was thinking, Gu Yunze, who was not under any pressure, still looked relaxed.

In contrast, Gu Congyuan was a little nervous, after all, he shouldered the burden of the whole third room.
