Liu Zhao didn't let go of his hand until the excitement died down.
Gu Jiu gave him a sidelong glance, feeling extremely jealous.
Liu Zhao said righteously: "How shameless!"
Princess Huyang laughed so hard that her body shook, and the hairpin on her head swayed with it.
Gu Jiu blinked, "The tradition formed spontaneously by the candidates must be respected."
Liu Zhao chuckled twice, "Such immoral words and deeds, you don't care about it?"
Gu Jiu looked innocent, "How can I manage it?"
Liu Zhao snorted, "Anyone caught streaking will be disqualified from admission. Your Highness wants to see who dares to streak again in the future."
Gu Jiu said, "My opinion on this matter alone does not count, and it is not in line with the school spirit of Shanhe Academy."
quibble!
Liu Zhao stared at Gu Jiu with a hurt look on his face.
Gu Jiu was helpless, "Don't look at me like that."
Hu Yang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
She laughed and said, "Liu Zhao, you're too jealous. Let me tell you, there are quite a few people here to watch the fun today. As far as I know, several princesses and princesses are here. And several of your sisters-in-law have sneaked out. Oh, and the ladies in the palace have heard about the excitement here and want to go out to see the fun. This must not be forbidden. If it is forbidden, life will lose a lot of fun."
"Ridiculous!" Liu Zhao was very dissatisfied.
In fact, Liu Zhao didn’t care whether those candidates had to run naked or not.
What he cared about was that Gu Jiu actually came to watch the fun early in the morning.
Are those scholars' figures as good-looking as his?
As strong as him?
As tall as him and as long-legged as him?
Did Gu Jiu dislike his ugly figure and deliberately run out to look at other men?
It's so infuriating!
Liu Zhao was burning with jealousy.
Gu Jiu had to stand up and lean over to Liu Zhao's ear to put out the fire.
A few sweet words made Liu Zhao very happy.
"real?"
"Of course it's true." Gu Jiu was extremely sincere.
Liu Zhao chuckled, "Tonight..."
Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "You go and do your work. My aunt and I will go back to Xiaozhu after we have tea."
"Okay then!"
Liu Zhao left the teahouse private room with satisfaction.
Princess Huyang laughed out loud, "It really is true that there is always someone who can conquer you. Today I am convinced. This kid Liu Zhao will obey your management."
"You're joking, Auntie. I can't control him."
"If even you can't control him, no one in this world can. Okay, okay, I know you have to save face for him."
Princess Huyang looked out the window and said, "Every time I come to Xinmin County, I can see the changes here. Unlike the capital, it remains unchanged for ten years."
"Xinmin County is just a small place, not worth mentioning."
Gu Jiu added water to Huyang's teacup.
"You're being modest!" Hu Yang pointed at Gu Jiu. "Creating a county town out of thin air? Ask the court officials, who has the ability to do that?"
Gu Jiu continued modestly, "I just happened to be there. Without tens of thousands of refugees as a foundation, Xinmin County could not have been built."
"That's true. The common people in the capital don't want to do those hard and dirty jobs."
When the construction outside the South City Gate began, it was extremely poor and everything had to start from scratch.
A large number of people are needed every day to do hard labor, dig ditches and build infrastructure.
Just building a sewer system cost countless manpower and financial resources.
At that time, there was no easy work, all work was hard and tiring.
Start working before dawn and continue until sunset.
Ordinary people in Beijing really cannot do such labor with such intensity.
It’s so bitter!
The wages are low.
Only refugees who can't even afford to eat would accept doing the heaviest physical work for low wages.
Over the past few years, Xinmin County has become better and better.
Gu Jiu said, "I never imagined Xinmin County would be what it is today. At the beginning, I didn't think so far ahead."
At the beginning, I just wanted to make use of the land and the idle labor force to make some money first.
Who would have thought it would get bigger and bigger.
Later, I had the dream of building a city.
There was laughter coming from downstairs.
A group of middle-aged women were chasing the naked candidate with brooms and sticks.
The candidates fled in a panic and returned to the county government office.
Everyone on the street burst into laughter.
"Run! They're chasing us."
"Where are my clothes? Who saw my clothes?"
"You playboys, you dare to bully me? If I don't teach you a lesson today, you guys are so ignorant. Sisters, fight!"
“Hit him!”
For a moment, brooms flew everywhere.
The examinee lay on the ground naked.
"Wow, your butt is so round and perky!"
Hu Yang leaned on the window frame, laughed loudly, and even whistled, teasing directly.
Those candidates who dare to run naked have all mastered the essence of shamelessness.
When he heard the whistle, he raised his head and waved to Princess Huyang and said hello.
Hu Yang stamped his feet and clapped his hands, and the table was shaking with excitement.
Gu Jiu took a look and found it really eye-catching.
I have to wash my eyes when I get home.
There was chaos on the streets and people were cheering loudly.
The streets were full of people, a sea of heads, as if everyone in the capital had come.
Huyang shouted and screamed, wishing he could join this naked streak feast.
Gu Jiu held his forehead and called Xu Yousi over, whispering, "Give the order to control the situation and stop running."
Xu Yousi suppressed his laughter, bowed in response, and quietly left the teahouse private room.
Soon, yamen runners were dispatched to maintain order on the streets.
All the streakers were taken away.
The chaos is finally over.
Huyang Jun was still thinking, so he gulped down a cup of tea. He had just shouted and yelled, and his voice was hoarse.
She said to Gu Jiu, "I'll come again next month when the results are announced. I might as well buy a house here. Are there any houses in Phases 4 and 5 still for sale?"
The houses in Phases 4 and 5 are nestled against the backdrop of mountains and water, creating a tranquil environment. They are located on the other side of an official road, which separates Phases 4 and 5 from Xinmin County.
The smallest houses in Phases 4 and 5 cover an area of ten mu, while the larger houses cover an area of one to two hundred mu.
Some luxury houses cover an area of five to six hundred acres.
The house is well built, large enough and priced high enough.
There is no shortage of rich people in Beijing.
The houses in Phases 4 and 5 have not yet been put on the market, but they have already been secretly sold out.
Gu Jiu said to Hu Yang, "There are no vacant houses in Phase 4. I have reserved ten houses in Phase 5. If you like them, I will transfer one to you."
Hu Yang laughed, "It's better to be lucky than to be early. Let's go look at the house while we still have time."
Gu Jiu readily agreed.
I'm free anyway, so it's a good time to go house hunting.
Coincidentally, as soon as they went downstairs, they met Gu Ting and Pei Man.
"Why are my brother and sister-in-law here?"
Pei Man's cheeks were red and she felt a little embarrassed.
Gu Ting grinned and said, "I heard that there will be a lot of fun on the day of the college's results announcement, so I brought Xiao Man here to join in the fun. It's really unique and eye-opening. People nowadays really know how to have fun, even more than when I was a playboy."
Gu Jiu blushed. He said guiltily, "I don't know when this tradition started. These students just do whatever they want. My brother and sister-in-law treat it as a joke."
Pei Man blushed and whispered, "Today's excitement is quite interesting. Gu Ting, let's come again next month, okay?"
After saying that, she shook Gu Ting's arm.
Gu Ting: “…”
He chuckled and said, "As you say, we'll come again next month when the results are announced."
Then he winked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu: "..."
Don't look at her, she has no control over this matter.
If you want to find the culprit, look for him, Huang Qubing.
Only a dandy person would think of streaking. It was just a casual remark, but the candidates took it seriously, and thus the tradition of streaking on results day began.
Gu Jiu suddenly felt that he had made the wrong friends.
Hu Yang said cheerfully, "From my high vantage point, I can clearly see the bodies of the streakers. Two of them have the best figures..."
"aunt!"
Gu Jiu had to interrupt Hu Yang's showing off.
"Let's go look at houses."
"Yes, yes, let's go and see the house. The house is the most important thing."
"Does the princess plan to buy a house here?" Pei Man asked softly.
Princess Huyang was delighted and said hurriedly, "It's much more lively here. I plan to buy a separate courtyard and stay here for a few days when I have time."
Pei Man smiled and said, "The houses here are quite valuable. I heard that the prices have been rising. Gu Ting, why don't we go house hunting with you? If we find something suitable, we can buy one and put it there."
Gu Ting: “…”
No money!
Houses are very expensive.
He took out all his money as a betrothal gift.
He is now a pauper.
Pei Man smiled and lowered her head. Gu Ting frowned, and she knew what he was thinking.
She whispered to Gu Ting, "Don't worry about the money. I have money."
Gu Ting: “…”
What does it feel like to marry a rich woman?
It feels good.
The four of them took three carriages and went to Phase 5 to look at houses.
After crossing the official road, it feels like entering another world.
On the other side of the official road is Xinmin County.
The city is full of life, with all kinds of activities and chaos.
On this side of the official road, there is a huge artificial lake with sparkling water and several gorgeously decorated ships.
It was still early, and the ships were all moored at the shore.
Several small boats were floating on the lake, and some people were sitting on them fishing, looking so leisurely and comfortable, which was enviable.
Along the lakeshore, there are artificial greenways, clusters of flowers and beautiful scenery.
Every hundred steps or so, there is a wooden chair for people to sit down and rest.
The wooden chairs face the lake, allowing you to enjoy the lake scenery at will.
There are many viewing platforms, pavilions and towers along the shore, which are great places to drink tea and chat.
The carriage traveled several miles along the road beside the lake.
A big door blocked the way.
There are guards on duty.
After confirming my identity and passing through the gate, I finally entered the fifth phase of the territory.
Houses covering a large area are neatly arranged on both sides of the street.
White walls and black tiles, and a deep courtyard.
"Is it safe here?"
"There are patrols twelve hours a day. The identities of all unfamiliar vehicles entering and leaving will be verified." Gu Jiu got off the carriage and introduced the situation of the fifth phase.
"Our guards undergo at least six months of training. Their backgrounds and qualifications are impeccable, and their salaries are high."
Gu Jiu led everyone into the idle house.
"For unused houses, there will be someone to clean and maintain them."
"This house is so nice." Pei Man was very excited.
Gu Jiu could see that she was moved.
Princess Huyang was quite calm.
After looking at five houses, I finally decided on one.
"I want house number eight. Nephew-in-law, can you calculate how much it will cost for me?"
