Chapter 83 Treat Me as a Cook
The Duke of England's Mansion had the money and the means to support Gu Changning's hobby, so the servants of the Duke of England's Mansion all said that the third master's yard was filled with the most books.

Although Gu Changning was physically weak, he was smart. He studied knowledge in books and the six arts of a gentleman all year round and became the best student in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion. He was already a student at the age of eight. If his physical condition had not allowed it, he would have passed the examination to become a scholar. But even so, he passed the examination to become a scholar three years later.

However, Gu Changning's journey to the imperial examination also ended here, not because of his lack of talent, but because he simply could not stand the full nine-day examination in the examination hall, which was too much for his frail body.

Whether he was taking the examination for a student or a scholar, although he got the first place, he would fall seriously ill after the examination. Especially when he was taking the examination for a scholar, he was carried out of the examination room in a coma and almost lost his life.

Everyone in the Duke of England's mansion was so scared that they dared not let him take the exam again. Anyway, the Duke of England's mansion didn't need him to pass the exam and become the top scholar to add icing on the cake. Even if he passed the exam and became the top scholar, his health condition made him unsuitable for being an official.

Gu Changning felt very sorry about this, but he was not too obsessed with fame and fortune. He just wanted to verify what he had learned, so under the firm opposition of his relatives and the tears of his mother, Gu Changning gave up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination again.

Despite this, Gu Changning's talent became known to the public. Those who knew him expressed regret after reading his articles. If it were not for his health condition, he would have become a pillar of Darong.

The dean of Mingxin Academy, Zhou Chengzhou, a great scholar with many students all over the world, was impressed after reading his article: This boy is very talented and has the potential to be the top scholar!
He then accepted him as his last disciple, and declared that none of his disciples could compare to this little disciple, and that he would pass on Mingxin Academy and his legacy to this last disciple in the future.

The disciples under Zhou Daru are not simple people. Each of them is a dragon and phoenix among men, with a bright future and his own achievements. Although they also want to inherit their teacher's mantle, they admire and care for this smart but in poor health junior brother, and it does not make any sense for them to do so.

He is cared for and loved by his family, protected by his teachers and seniors, smart and born into a noble family. It can be said that except for his poor health, he is simply a favorite of heaven.

However, physical reasons also led to Gu Changning's casual personality. Because he had to study with his teacher, and the beautiful environment outside the city where Mingxin Academy was located was suitable for physical cultivation, Gu Changning stayed in Mingxin Academy all year round and seldom returned to the Duke of Yingzhou's Mansion.

This year, because of the Autumn Examination, I did not go home on the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now that the Autumn Examination is approaching, Gu Changning has also returned.

Shu Yunfu had heard countless things about this brother-in-law whom she had never met, but it was not until he came back this time that she truly witnessed how much care and concern the people in the Duke of Ying's Mansion showed him.

The old Duke and his wife were so happy to know that their son had returned that they personally led their servants to clean Gu Changning's home. They also replaced many valuable ornaments and bedding with new ones, hoping that their son would feel comfortable living there.

Not to mention the food for eating. The old Duke had previously warned everyone to be low-key and not live too extravagantly, but this did not count for Gu Changning. All the top-notch food was sent to the kitchen, whatever was delicious and expensive was used, all of which were ingredients that Gu Changning liked.

Not only the old Duke's couple, but Gu Changting was also thinking about his younger brother. He sent a lot of good things to Anranju in succession for several days, and even found things on her head.

Knowing that the nourishing soup she stewed was effective, he specially sent her a bunch of supplements, just so that she could stew a bowl of nourishing soup every day when Gu Changning came back.

Shu Yunfu was plotting something. She kicked the person off the bed. Did he think she was a cook?

He also gave her a bowl of tonic soup every day. He had high standards and knew it was a good thing. But it was diluted with life condensed water. If it wasn't for the fact that he was her man, she wouldn't have given him this good thing. Now that she knew it was a good thing, she started to think about it. She really thought life condensed water was cabbage!
"Gu Changting, you think I'm a cook. I feel sorry for you, but you feel sorry for others, right?"

"A bowl of nourishing soup a day, do you know what I do? Do you know how precious the ingredients in the soup I stew for you are to have such an effect? ​​You ask me to stew a bowl of soup a day as soon as you open your mouth. Why don't you go to heaven!

"You only think about your brother and not me at all!"

As proud as Gu Changting was, he was kicked off the bed by a woman for the first time in his life. He was confused and a little embarrassed.

But before he could get angry, Shu Yunfu, who had her hair loose and was only wearing a tube top, put her hands on her hips and started scolding him, which made him dizzy.

"I'm not! I didn't!"

Double denial, a trace of guilt flashed across Gu Changting's face, he stepped forward and took the man who was so angry that his mouth could hang oil bottles into his arms and coaxed him gently, "I know your intentions, it's because the tonic soup you stewed is so effective, and my third brother is in poor health, so I thought it would be useful, and I ignored your thoughts for a while."

"I was wrong about this matter, please don't be angry..."

After coaxing for a long time, Gu Changting finally got the qualification to fall asleep in Shu Yunfu's arms again. The slight embarrassment of being offended had long dissipated under Shu Yunfu's fiery eyes, and he could not even remember it.

However, he forgot to be angry, but he still did not forget the health of his younger brother who had been frail and sickly since childhood and was diagnosed by the imperial physician as not being able to live long.

Even though Shu Yunfu was angry just now, he still tried to persuade her to stew a few cups of tonic soup. However, this time he didn't dare to say one cup a day. He only said to stew a few cups if there were leftover ingredients. If that didn't work, he could send the tonic soup to his brother.

The way he was thinking only about his younger brother made Shu Yunfu puzzled. She didn't realize that Gu Changting also had a brother-con side.

Even the two little ones, Gu Wenyu and Gu Qiuyi, came to see her specially because of their uncle's return. They wanted her to make a batch of delicious egg tarts for their uncle after he came home. They wanted to give them to his uncle.

This hustle and bustle made Shu Yunfu, who originally didn't intend to meddle in other people's affairs, become curious about the third master of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.

On the day Gu Changning came back, all the servants in the Duke's Mansion were tense and in a hurry. Even her Yizhuxuan had several people seconded because of the lack of manpower in the kitchen. Even Yuyan, who was beside her, was seconded because of her good cooking skills.
