Chapter 268

Gu Mansion.

Gu Hanlin put on the fuchsia official uniform and was planning to go to the Zhao Mansion.

At first he heard that Zhao Shun was the number one scholar in the Hanlin Academy, so his attitude towards Zhao Shun changed a little.

Never thought that this son would be so competitive, not only became the number one scholar, but also became the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Punishment in one fell swoop, almost on an equal footing with him.

It is now the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and there is only one and a half months left before the Chinese New Year. At the end of the year, the Ministry of Officials, who is in charge of promoting officials, will make adjustments to officials big and small, and at the same time, the election of the cabinet will begin.

Those who come out to be officials, no one wants to join the cabinet and sit at the very center of power.

Previously, Gu Hanlin got a promise from Minister of the Household Department Meng Jin that he would vote for him in the election of cabinet ministers, which made Gu Hanlin want to fight for it.

Right now, Zhao Shun's vote is also very important, and Gu Hanlin will naturally not let it go, which is why he made a solemn visit today.

Just when Gu Hanlin was about to go out, Gu Fangman came back from the outside with an unhappy expression on his face.

Seeing Gu Hanlin, Gu Fangman hastily complained.

"Grandpa, who are you introducing to me? Not only are they rude, but they are also not good-looking."

Hearing this, Gu Hanlin smiled and stretched out his hand and nodded her, "You, you really have a heart higher than the sky, but that's the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and you don't even like it here?"

"Hmph, he's crooked, even if he's a prince, I wouldn't look at him directly!" Gu Fangman raised her chin high, her attitude extremely haughty.

Gu Hanlin was a little helpless, and said slowly: "You have also reached the age of marriage, and I have introduced you so much, and I don't like this one, and I don't like that one, what kind of person do you want to marry?"

Gu Fangman rolled her eyes, and suddenly thought of something, she leaned over to Gu Hanlin and said, "According to the days, this year's palace examination should have ended, grandpa has seen who the number one scholar is, and how is his talent and appearance?"

Hearing Gu Fangman's words, Gu Hanlin smiled wryly, "Don't think about Zhuangyuan Lang. Although he looks good, he is indeed a man with a master, and you still know him."

"Oh? Who is it?" Gu Fangman wrapped her fingers around her hair, full of interest.

Gu Hanlin said carefully, "Shen Xian's husband."

Gu Fangman: "..."

At this moment, Gu Fangman's heart was crawling like a group of flies, and she regretted asking such a question very much.

"This wild girl is too lucky. If she marries someone casually, she will be the number one scholar?"

"Cough cough." Gu Hanlin coughed dryly, and reminded: "It's fine to say this kind of thing in private, and don't spread it to other people's ears."

After finishing speaking, Gu Hanlin shook his sleeves, and said as he walked, "Grandpa still has something to do, so I won't talk with you. If you have nothing to do, go and spend more time with your grandma."

Gu Fangman didn't speak, but looked at Gu Hanlin's back and let out a "Qi".

After learning that Shen Xian's husband-in-law was the No. [-] scholar, Gu Fangman felt uncomfortable for a long time. This feeling was worse than not being able to get married.

Back in Lan's room, Gu Fangman sat on the chair absent-mindedly, constantly thinking about how to return Shen Xian to her original shape, and become that wild girl that no one wanted.

Recalling Zhao Shun's appearance, Gu Fangman nodded secretly. The first time she saw Zhao Shun, she thought Zhao Shun was handsome and masculine.

It's just that later because of Shen Xian, he even hated Zhao Shun.

But today, Zhao Shun has become the number one scholar, this trivial prejudice is nothing.

Involuntarily, Gu Fangman thought, if she snatched Zhao Shun over, she would be the first lady, and could severely suppress Shen Xian's arrogance.

Just thinking about it, Gu Fangman asked her maid, "Do you think Miss Ben is pretty?"

The maid froze for a moment, she didn't expect Gu Fangman to ask such a question suddenly.

Gu Fangman has a melon-shaped face, and it is reasonable to say that her appearance is not too bad, but each of the five sense organs has its own ideas, and they look good alone, but when combined together, they look mediocre.

It can't be said to be beautiful, but it's not ugly either. As long as you work hard to whitewash it, it can be detached from the word beautiful.

"Beautiful, of course she is beautiful, and there are not many people who are as good as Miss in the whole capital."

The maid praised Gu Fangman without hesitation, and she definitely couldn't tell the truth at this time.

It's not shameful to say something against your will in order to make money.

And Gu Fangman didn't seem to be able to hear the maid's compliments on her, so she looked at the mirror with complacency.

"That's right, I also think I'm pretty, and I should be the wife of the number one scholar."

The maid was stunned, feeling that Gu Fangman was thinking a little too much, but it was too late to take back the water that was spilled when she said it.

"Yes, what Miss said is that whoever Miss wants to marry is her blessing."

Gu Fangman lost herself in the compliments of the maid.

"In this way, if I hook my fingers at Zhuangyuan Lang, he will bow down under my pomegranate skirt."

Maid: "Uh... yes, that is inevitable."

Being affirmed again, Gu Fangman laughed out loud.

"In this case, you can send an invitation to the Zhao Mansion for Miss Ben, and ask Zhao Tieshu to meet you at Zuiyun Tower tonight."

"Zhao Mansion?" The maid was a little dazed, could it be that the number one scholar is Shen Xian's husband?

Last time when Gu Fangman was taught a lesson by Shen Xian, the maid could still remember it vividly, but she never thought that Gu Fangman would dare to frown.

The maid wanted to persuade Gu Fangman to think about it, but Gu Fangman turned her head and looked at her dissatisfiedly, "Go, what are you still doing!"

"Yes……"

The maid had no choice but to leave the East Wing in a hurry to deliver the invitation.

Outside the gate of the Zhao residence, Gu Hanlin had already arrived at the residence.

Although Zhao Shun didn't like Gu Hanlin, he still greeted him with a smile.

"I have seen Master Gu."

Gu Hanlin quickly waved his hands, and said with a smile: "We are all a family, so just call me grandpa in private."

grandfather?You deserve it too?

Zhao Shun sneered silently in his heart, and then said respectfully: "I am not a talented person, and I was able to enter the official career because of the help of Mr. Gu. Only by calling you Mr. Gu can I show my respect in my heart."

Zhao Shun's perfunctory words, Gu Hanlin's ears are indeed full of face.

"Okay, okay, it's good if you have this heart, haha, when I met you in Yuhua Prefecture, I knew that you would have extraordinary achievements in the future, and now it really is as I expected."

Liu Qing was listening, secretly admiring Gu Hanlin's thick skin.

At the banquet in Yuhuazhou, Gu Hanlin deliberately targeted Zhao Shun, but now he seems to have lost his memory, and he puts gold on his face.

Zhao Shun chuckled and asked Gu Hanlin to go to the living room.

"Master Gu, let's talk while drinking tea."

Gu Hanlin nodded with a smile, and said slowly: "Alright, it happens that the old man also has something to ask you."
