Gu Junwen, a lazy girl who inherited billions, spent every day living off her inheritance and waiting to die. One day, she accidentally transmigrated into a power-struggle novel, becoming Gu Junwen...
"I've been working so hard for a long time. It's time to go to bed."
Gu Junwen stretched his body, and despite the "are you kidding me" looks from Chen Ze and Chen An'an, he opened the door and saw the guests off in one go, which even stunned System 101.
Drink today and be drunk today, worry about tomorrow tomorrow. Troubles come every day, so don't miss your sleep.
Without mobile phones, computers and other electronic sleep assistants, eating and sleeping are not pleasant at all. Gu Junwen was panting heavily and still muttering to himself.
But when System 101 got closer to listen, it could only hear Gu Jun's long, even breathing. 101 twitched its mouth helplessly. Never mind, it was used to it, so it would just go with the flow.
As night falls, the stars shine, and the moon gradually dims. Tomorrow will be a new day.
It was a new day, and Gu Junwen was awakened by the roar of the roof being blown off. Well, it was actually just her subordinates discussing this morning's news.
"Hey, have you heard? Today the imperial court ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of War's accounts. We can return to the northern frontier soon."
"Really? I've had enough of this place. No horse racing, no wrestling, and you have to speak softly. I'm going to suffocate to death!"
"It's still early, I heard..."
Zhang Xing and other typical northern men, tall and strong, with broad shoulders and waists, and loud voices. They still remembered to care about their "delicate and weak" major general and tried to speak as softly as possible.
Unfortunately, a group of big men had naturally loud voices, and they happened to be standing in front of Gu Junwen's door. When they got excited, their voices were earth-shaking and deafening.
Even the fish in the small pond in the courtyard were startled and scattered when they heard the sound. As you can imagine, Gu Junwen, a lazy fish, was not immune to the noise even though they were separated by a wall.
Forced to turn on the computer, Gu Junwen, whose brain was still blank, sat up dazedly and rubbed his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what day it was.
It rains when the roof leaks, and it rains all night, and the boat is broken and encounters headwinds. Suddenly, like a thunderclap, Gu Junwen's door was violently slammed open. Shen Anan's loud soprano voice came from far away, suppressing the noise of Zhang Xing and others, and pulling back Gu Junwen's still unclear mind.
"Master, wake up! Wake up! It's urgent! Chu Yun is here!"
Gu Junwen frowned subconsciously at the whirring sound. The cold wind poured in through the crack of the door, and Gu Junwen, who had just put on his shoes, woke up instantly.
Hearing this, her enthusiasm for going to the Ministry of Justice to report for duty was instantly extinguished. She simply sat down and waited patiently for Shen Anan to continue.
"The Regent brought His Majesty's oral instructions, saying, saying..." Shen Anan's anxiety reached its peak, but she calmed down and her voice became much more soothing. "The Regent said he had something to do and had to leave first. Please tell you that he will personally come to the mansion to supervise your homework starting tomorrow."
"Oh, he left...what?" Gu Junwen was completely confused.
The regent? To urge her to do her homework? Did she hear it wrongly because she was still asleep?
Gu Junwen had finally survived nine years of compulsory education and three years of high school. As a veteran who had endured mountains of books and oceans of questions, she had never expected that she would have to continue studying after she transmigrated into a book.
There is really no end to learning... She wanted to disobey the order.
"What is Chu Yun up to? Forget it, what should I learn?" Gu Junwen was powerless to resist the reality. He sat on the edge of the bed, waving his hands weakly and sighing sadly.
"A gentleman's six arts are: propriety, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and art. The Regent also said that he had read three of your great works, which were indeed exquisite. But the handwriting in one of them was not very good, so he will start with calligraphy tomorrow." Shen Anan counted and recalled carefully on his fingers one by one, trying to make sure there was nothing missed.
The Prince Regent came in person? It sounds like he has bad intentions. There are countless private school teachers and literary scholars in the capital, all of whom can write well. It is no small matter to be able to ask the Prince Regent for help.
Gu Junwen tilted his head slightly to the right, blinked hard, and secretly recalled the reason why he was targeted by the Regent.
Was it because of the visitor from the northern frontier? Was it the Emperor? It couldn't be because of the nonexistent tiger talisman of his son, right?
However, the top priority at the moment is that the "happy" office worker Xiao Gu is going to be late for work.
"An'an, this is the first time I realize that being late for work is wrong." Gu Junwen got up and dressed quickly, mumbling to himself. Anxious and dawdling.
"Hurry up, young master, it will be too late if you don't leave now." Shen Anan really didn't feel like listening to Gu Junwen's nagging. If Gu Junwen was late again, her father Shen Ze would have to follow her around and nag her for half a day.
In order to keep her ears clean, Shen Anan smiled mysteriously at Gu Junwen: "My lord, I'm sorry."
That day, everyone in the Gu Mansion saw the young general display his lightness skills and run out of the door.
"The Young General is truly a role model for our generation!" Zhang Xing, who was standing in the corridor eating melon seeds, stared at Gu Junwen's receding figure and expressed his feelings.
He tried to use the newly learned classical Chinese to express his feelings, but unfortunately he was confused for a long time and finally managed to say: "Come on, brothers, let's practice!"
"Yes." The morale of the soldiers was high, and they were practicing a set of tiger-catching fists on the training ground. How could they be lazy when their major general took the lead in practicing diligently?
The spies everywhere could no longer sit still amid the loud training horns. Secret reports were scattered into various mansions like snowflakes, and one of them was emphasized: the Gu Mansion had frequent morning exercises recently, and there would be unusual movements.
What the hell is going on? Looking at the sweeper who passed by his door for the eighth time, Gu Junwen was too tired to complain.
After all, she really had to thank her upgraded mind-reading ability. She didn't expect that there were so many hidden talents around her. Even the old man sweeping the floor was a spy from the family of the former Minister of War.
"Uncle, come here and ask whatever you want to ask. I'll tell you everything I know." Admiring the spy's spirit of working diligently despite his staggering legs, Gu Junwen kindly brought a plate of cashews and shared it with the sweeping uncle who passed by for the ninth time.
"Your Excellency has good eyesight." The old man sweeping the floor threw down his broom, his waist stopped bending, and his legs stopped shaking. His voice was gloomy, like a gust of cool wind coming out of the cold alley.
"What are you going to do?" Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Gu Junwen subconsciously retreated tactically and took an offensive stance.
