The villagers all envied Grandpa and Grandma Gu. Not only did their son pass the imperial examination, but their son-in-law also passed it. This was especially true for some of the older men and women of the same age.
The daughter-in-law and granddaughter are good at making money, and the son-in-law's family is wealthy. What good deeds did they do in their past life to have such good descendants!
In early August, the Gu family finally received a reply from Gu Shouxin, saying that he had arrived in the capital and was already staying at the residence.
They brought several people from the village with them, so they didn't have to do anything themselves.
Two months ago, Meng Meng came to ask Gu Shouxin about it, carrying everyone's thoughts.
After a year, everyone was willing to work for the Gu family as long-term laborers and wanted to renew their contracts.
Meng Meng didn't sign; he said he wanted to go out and try his luck.
Since his fiancée Jiang Yao betrayed him, he has become a completely different person. He has feelings for Jiang Yao, after all, she was the fiancée his parents arranged for him.
He thought of Jiang Yao's words, and the thorns in his heart stung him.
So he asked Lu Zheng to find him a way out. Lu Zheng gave him a suggestion and wrote him a letter to take to Xie Nanfeng. Xie Nanfeng would then get him into the military camp.
In his previous life, Meng Meng was saved by him. In this life, he was directly sent to General Peng's command. Whether he can achieve what he did in his previous life is up to Meng Meng to fight for.
Gu Shouxin didn't stop Meng Meng and even gave him fifty taels.
...
After receiving the letters, Gu Xin took out her notebook and asked each person if they had anything to say to her parents. She would write it down.
She has a lot of experience writing letters; she receives several letters from Xie Zhiyi and Huo Yanyu every month!
Xie Zhiyi wrote only to her, while Huo Yanyu wrote to all four sisters, but Gu Xin wrote the replies.
Therefore, Gu Xin felt that she was very experienced.
Grandpa Gu: "Tell your father not to be nervous, and not to think about anything else. Grandpa believes in him."
Gu Xin, holding a notebook and charcoal pencil, said, "Grandpa, I don't think my dad will be nervous. He's very confident that he can pass the exam, so don't worry, Grandpa. Hehe, but I still wrote down Grandpa's instructions."
Grandpa Gu: "..."
Grandma Gu: "I asked him to prepare a yard for your grandfather where he could grow flowers and raise fish. We went there and started growing them right away. We asked him to arrange all the flowers in the house exactly the same way."
Gu Xin waited a moment, then nodded and asked, "Oh. Is there anything else, Grandma?"
Grandma Gu: "That's all."
Gu Xin: "...Okay, Grandma, I've got it. I'm going to find Uncle now."
Uncle Gu: Tell your father to be careful when he looks at the list. He's been told that those old men love to find a son-in-law right under the list, regardless of whether you're married or have children.
Gu Xin's eyes widened: "Really?"
Uncle Gu said in a serious tone, "It's true, that's what they say in storybooks and plays. Was your father handsome?"
Gu Xin nodded repeatedly: "Handsome!"
Uncle Gu: "Isn't that settled? Write down my instructions carefully, so your father doesn't get caught by those old men! Circle the words 'old men' in vermilion, make sure it's conspicuous, to remind him!"
Gu Xin nodded in deep agreement: "Okay, Uncle, I remember. Uncle, you're right. From now on, important things should be circled in bright red."
Uncle Gu patted Gu Xin's head: "Good girl!"
Then Gu Xin went to find Zhang Shi.
Zhang's words were simple: "Xinxin, tell your father to do well in the exam, he must become the top scholar!"
