Space peasant girl: madly criticizing Xianggong for being weak and bullying

Chapter 421

"In that way, more people can read books, practice calligraphy, and don't ask everyone to speak well, don't ask everyone to write beautiful articles, even if they just know how to write their own names, understand the principles of life, know good and evil, and understand things. All right."

After she left, the emperor contemplated for a long time alone in the palace, and then he made a decision that surprised many people—hand over a bookstore in the capital to Xiaoxiao for preparation.

The daughter of the general's mansion and the study house who grew up in the countryside sounded like two irrelevant things. If you insist on talking about it, it was the blood relationship between her and the Gu family that was so weak that it could be ignored.

For Xiaoxiao, she just took over the job of opening a library, but in the eyes of others, this is a great honor from His Majesty to her.

The capital has long had its own circle, and the noble ladies spread such rumors among themselves, and immediately became very displeased with Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway.

There are many talented people in the capital, and there are countless beauties. It is hard to manage a little reputation, but before you can find a satisfactory marriage, you are suddenly stolen by this person. Who can be convinced?
"Will you go on the day of Jiji ceremony? Anyway, I won't go."

"What are you going to do? It's a topic that I don't have friendship with and can't talk about. Could it be that I discuss how to farm with her?"

"Oh, if the Jiji ceremony was deserted, wouldn't this concubine of the general's mansion become a joke?"

But what does that have to do with them?
"I just don't know why, Yaju happened to be closed that day, otherwise I could go there to pass the time."

"You actually have a VIP post for Yaju? Where did you get it? I heard that if you don't have a post, you can't get in."

Jingcheng Yaju is a place for noble ladies to rest and relax. There are the most exquisite calligraphy and paintings, the most exquisite snacks, and the most expensive and rare new gadgets, such as watermelons brought from border towns, or can only be found in the store. Enjoy the cloud cake, and the birthday cake for VIPs only.

All this represents not only the enjoyment of words, but also the honor that others cannot touch. I don't know when, being able to get the VIP post to enter Yaju has become one of the content that the noble ladies compare with each other.

At this time, the girl who spoke has become the central figure that other people are vying to make friends with, and everyone naturally forgets about the general mansion holding a wedding ceremony for their daughter.

It's one thing to look down on this "Ye Luzi fake noble lady", but more importantly - who wants to see other people's glamorous appearance!None of them have been rewarded by His Majesty, and the Princess!Wouldn't that wild girl's status be more noble than theirs in the future?

All the noble ladies made up their minds, and when the post from the general's mansion arrived, they would say that something was wrong, or they were not feeling well, or they would say they were not at home and went out for an outing!Yes, just do it!
However, they actually thought too much, because the post of the general's mansion never appeared from the beginning to the end, Xiaoxiao didn't plan to invite these people at all.

Looking at the thin invitation cards on the table, Xiao Ran confirmed with her again: "Just invite a few people?"

Xiaoxiao shrugged: "That's not enough, relatives and friends are all there, and there is no one missing."

Xiao Ran thought about it carefully, and found that it was indeed the case. Seeing her, she was almost convinced, and the housekeeper hurriedly coughed lightly to remind: "Shouldn't you invite some young masters and young ladies who are about the same age as the young lady?"

Xiaoxiao smiled at her: "I don't know them, and they don't know me, so what's the point of asking, if I really posted, people might think I'm pretending to be familiar."

The housekeeper recalled the style of the young and young girls of these high-ranking officials and noble families in the capital, and found that he couldn't refute it.Those young masters and ladies are more arrogant than one, and one is more arrogant than the other. It is absolutely impossible to wrong the eldest lady who has finally found it, so it seems that it doesn't matter if you invite them or not.

Gu Changan waved his hand: "Listen to Xiaoxiao."

The post list is finalized.

Xiaoxiao continued to be busy with the study room. At the foot of the emperor, she didn't want to stuff books from the mall into it openly, but the study room was built much more spacious than that in Xijiang County.

As for the capital city, there are always more people who love to read than the county town. As long as a little speed change is added to it, it will always help those who really want to learn.

The building of the bookstore was just a name for Xiaoxiao, and the emperor would never ask a little girl like her to stay in a place where sawdust was flying all day, so Xiaoxiao studied at home and the menu for entertaining guests at the ceremony.

It is said to be research, but Gu Changan is in charge of it, so she just adds opinions and joins in the fun.

for example……

"Father, I heard that grandfather doesn't have a good appetite?"

Gu Changan thought about his words: "Your grandfather likes light food, but he doesn't like bland food. He likes novelty, but he doesn't like fancy food."

Xiaoxiao understood, the old man's mouth was a little bit stuck.

I heard that my grandmother was a good cook when she was still alive. At that time, my grandfather never refused to eat meals cooked by anyone other than my grandmother.

Gu Chang'an's expression was a little complicated when he said this, probably with resentment in his nostalgia.

Xiaoxiao knew that although her father and grandfather didn't hate each other and had never been in touch with each other, they had been silent for many years like strangers, but she didn't know what happened specifically, and whether she should ask.

Fortunately, she has a caring mother, and Xiao Ran dragged Xiao Xiao to chat for an entire hour that night. After that, Xiao Xiao knew something about the past, and also understood the knot between her grandfather and father.

It turned out that when Gu Changan took the scientific examination, it happened that Master Gu was busy with the emperor's errand to clear up a fraud case. At that time, Mrs. Gu was ill, and Master Gu didn't have much skills to spare, so he didn't take it seriously when he invited the imperial physician, but Gu Chang'an was told by the old lady to concentrate on studying, and was almost buried in the pile of books every day.

At that time, the autumn wind was blowing and the weather was turning cold. At first, the old lady just coughed a few times, and the imperial doctor said it was fine, so everyone ignored her. As a result, no one would have thought that her illness would never get better.

Gu Chang'an's scientific examination was about to come, and the family didn't want him to be distracted, so they all talked about it and kept it a secret.

He thought that after his scientific examination, the old lady would be able to recover, but unexpectedly, a seemingly ordinary typhoid fever took the old lady away.

When Gu Changan was shocked by the sad news, he didn’t even see his mother for the last time. Looking at the low-key mourning hall, he realized that everyone was still trying to hide it from him until then. He knelt in the mourning hall all night without eating. Do not drink do not sleep do not rest.

After the old lady died for the funeral, Gu Chang'an packed up a few simple clothes, left Gu's mansion, and never went back.

"Although your father doesn't say it, I know that he has been thinking about the Gu family all these years, and your grandfather is the same. He protected and helped your father overtly and secretly, but neither father nor son took that step first."
