Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the beginning of August, and it was time for Gu Yunji to take up his post in the Imperial Academy.

Gu Yunji woke up early in the morning, still a little unconscious, yawned and laughed at himself: "The comfortable days these days really make people lazy, but even if they wake up early, they still feel a little uncomfortable. In the past How can you be so slack during the imperial examination? The rooster crows three times and it’s already too late.”

Xu Shuhua helped him put on his official uniform, and said with a smile: "Where are you now? When it was the Shuo Wang Dynasty in the first month and the middle of the month, you got up earlier than now. And it was only twice a month. If the grade is at four You have to get up so early every day to attend the morning court. You will not get used to it at first, but you will get used to it later on."

After tidying up the crown belt for Gu Yunji one by one, Xu Shuhua smoothed the edges and corners of his official uniform, until she was neat and energetic from head to toe, then she nodded in satisfaction: "Well, it's done."

The days when newlyweds first got married were mostly sticky, and they wished they could stay together all the time, and Gu Yunji was no exception.

Although it was time to go out, he still didn't want to be separated from Xu Shuhua, so he simply wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his arms, saying softly: "I don't feel very well, I always feel uncomfortable, why don't you help me any more?" have a look?"

"What's uncomfortable?"

"It's uncomfortable everywhere, especially here, it's the most uncomfortable." After speaking, Gu Yunji put her hand on her heart.

Xu Shuhua's fingertips burned, and he blushed and lightly reprimanded: "Not serious."

Hearing Gu Yunji's low laughter, Xu Shuhua was so ashamed that his ears were filled with pinkness: "I used to say that you were a gentleman who kept rules to the point of being rigid, and refused to take one step too far. Now that you're married, how can you On the contrary... on the contrary, you are so shameless."

Gu Yunji gently pressed his chin against her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's because I endured so hard in the past, so now that I got what I wanted, I can't control it now. Besides, you and I are already husband and wife, no matter what I do, I will always be with you." It's within the rules. As for whether you know how to be ashamed...the husband has a thick skin, so he probably doesn't know."

"Third Young Master, it's getting late, the Eldest Young Master has already been waiting..."

At this time, Qiu Xiao came in from the outside, and seeing the two hugging each other, she immediately closed her eyes and turned around, pretending that she didn't see anything.

Xu Shuhua was startled, quickly pushed Gu Yunji away, and coughed a few times uncomfortably: "Ahem, what...it's getting late, hurry up, don't miss the time."

Gu Yunji stretched out his hands to brush the broken hair around her ears, and said, "Then I'm leaving? You are well at home."

Xu Shuhua nodded: "Yes."

Outside the courtyard, Gu Yunxiao was already waiting there.

Seeing Gu Yunji procrastinating for so long, Gu Yunxiao, as someone who has been there, probably guessed why, so he couldn't help but cast a narrow look at him, and joked: "The third younger brother has come out, I don't know if he has taken care of it or not." ? Don’t wait until you arrive at the Hanlin Academy to find out that you are at home.”

Gu Yunji's ears blushed imperceptibly, and he said as if nothing had happened: "Cheng Yan must have been waiting for us outside the palace gate, let's go quickly."

After all, without waiting for Gu Yunxiao to react, he lifted his foot and walked out.

Gu Yunxiao shook his head and smiled, and followed.The two left Gu's mansion and came all the way to Donghua Gate. After meeting Cheng Yan, the three of them walked towards the Imperial Academy together.

This year's new officials outside the Imperial Academy have almost all arrived. Except for the three top-ranked Gu Yunji, there are more than 20 Shujishi, all wearing brand-new official uniforms, and all of them are full of energy.

Fang Zigui walked over to Gu Yunji, sized him up and down unscrupulously, with a playful expression on his face: "Yo, it really is a happy event, Mr. Gu is married now, and his whole complexion has improved a lot. Think It's the newlywed Yaner, and she and Madam Ling live a sweet life, so they can't bear to go out, right?"

Gu Yunji gave him a cold sideways glance, and didn't bother to pay attention.

Fang Zigui seemed to be unable to understand the wink, and moved closer, with a provocative tone in his tone: "Speaking of which, I can be regarded as half a month old between you and Xu Shuhua, after all, without me, you two It shouldn't be progressing so fast. If that's the case, you two are going to get married, why don't you even invite me to a wedding wine?"

Gu Yunji raised his eyes lightly, looked at him calmly, and said, "Fang Zigui, although today is our first day in the Imperial Academy, I don't mind giving you some flair. If you want to have a blue nose and a swollen face later If you go to see the Shangguan, you can continue to talk cheaply."

Seeing Gu Yunji pressing his fingers, Fang Zigui raised his eyebrows and didn't speak any more.

Not long after arriving, a Hanlin official walked up to several people and asked, "The three are Cheng Yan, Fang Zigui, and Gu Yunji, who are first-class in the new department?"

This person is also wearing a blue official uniform, but from the patch on the official uniform, it can be seen that his grade is not low, so the three of them are very polite: "Exactly. What is your name?"

The man said: "I'm Jia Daoheng, a lecturer in the Imperial Academy, and I was born as a first-class Jinshi just like you, but I was on the list in the last Enke, a few years earlier than you."

The three hurriedly saluted: "I have seen Mr. Jia."

"You don't need to be too polite. The Hanlin Academy is full of people who play with words and ink. They don't pay much attention to it. It's good to get along with each other naturally." Jia Daoheng smiled and waved his hands, and he was very easy-going. "Today is your first day in the Imperial Academy. I’m here to guide you to familiarize yourself with the environment and join the job, please come with me.”

After finishing speaking, Jia Daoheng turned around and walked in, and the three of them followed.

As he walked, Jia Daoheng introduced: "There are more than [-] people in the Imperial Academy, ranging from the highest official of the fifth rank, the Hanlin bachelor, to the unranked scholars. Most of the daily official duties are compiling history books, drafting edicts, Serve as lecturers for the banquet for His Majesty and the princes."

"You were born as a first-class Jinshi, and you were appointed officials after the palace examination. If there is no accident, you will have to stay in the Imperial Academy for at least two terms—that is, six years, before you will be sent to the Sixth Ministry to take up real positions."

As he said that, Jia Daoheng stopped and turned around: "Although life in the Imperial Academy is boring and there is nothing to gain, but you should not be lazy because of this. You must know that our Imperial Academy officials are the emperor's close ministers, and we have contact with His Majesty. This is both an honor and a risk for us, and any mistake or omission may be magnified. So even if it is a trivial matter such as proofreading and copying, we must treat it with caution."

The three respectfully said: "Your Majesty will keep this in mind."

Jia Daoheng nodded with satisfaction, and continued to walk in: "Every day at three quarters of the Mao hour, the on-duty is on, and the off-duty is at the You hour. During this period, the Imperial Academy will provide a lunch, which will be undertaken by Guanglu Temple. Over there is where the officials eat." If you don’t want to eat the food cooked by Guanglu Temple, you can bring your own food or ask your family to deliver it.”

Gu Yunji asked suspiciously: "Lord Jia, since Guanglu Temple can provide lunch, you can just eat it directly, why do you need to bring the meal or ask your family to deliver it? Isn't this superfluous?"

Jia Daoheng smiled meaningfully, without further explanation, just said: "You will know when the time comes."
