Alright, Eunuch Fu has made a note of Gu Shouxin. If this family can really get into the capital through Gu Shouxin's imperial examination, then he must treat them well and see how much the emperor likes them.
Yesterday, when he saw that the Emperor was interested in that young lady, Eunuch Fu thought that the Emperor was thinking of bringing her into the palace. Now it seems that the Emperor is also interested in the young lady's mother and her young wife.
All my interests stem from Gu Shouxin!
Fortunately, there were many concubines in the harem who were favored by the emperor, otherwise he would have suspected that the emperor wanted to secretly take Gu Shouxin back to raise him.
Speaking of which, Gu Shouxin looks quite handsome. Although he is a bit old, his simple clothes cannot hide his natural charm!
Gu Xin thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Ye, my father might not be able to pass with the highest score of six. He might only pass with the highest score of three."
The emperor was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Why do you say that?"
Xue Qianyu twitched his lips. Had his emperor learned the Qingzhou accent from this little girl?
Gu Xin pursed her lips and turned to look at Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian.
The mother and daughter looked at Gu Xin with blank expressions, not knowing what she was going to say.
Gu Xin assumed that since her mother and sister hadn't stopped her from speaking, it meant she could say so. She then said, "I know about the 'Six Yuan Ji Di' (a high-ranking scholar in the imperial examinations), which includes the 'Minor Three Yuan' and the 'Major Three Yuan.' My father can only achieve the 'Major Three Yuan,' not the 'Minor Three Yuan.' The 'Minor Three Yuan' requires passing the county, prefectural, and provincial examinations; only by achieving first place in these three exams can one truly qualify for it. My father might not even pass the county examination, alas!"
The emperor blinked, as if he had misheard: "Why? With your father's abilities, passing the county examination would be a piece of cake! Unless your county magistrate is blind, he wouldn't be chosen as the top candidate."
Gu Xin looked at him with a "you guessed right" expression: "Uncle Ye, let me tell you a secret, our family has offended the magistrate of Taoyuan County."
Cai Xiaolian thought to herself: As expected of the female lead, she even knows to complain to the big shot! She'll definitely choose the one with the biggest leg to cling to!
Ha ha ha ha……
Aunt Gu was taken aback: "Xinxin, when did this happen? When I went back to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, didn't I hear that you were going to discuss cooperation with them? How did you offend them? Is it because you didn't plan to cooperate that they got angry?"
After asking the question, Gu Sangu looked at Cai Xiaolian and Gu Nian.
Gu Nian lowered her head in grievance, and Cai Xiaolian also looked indignant and didn't want to speak.
Gu Xin said, "Uncle Ye, you've already said my father is your brother and I'm your niece, so I'll kindly remind you, whatever you do, don't go to Taoyuan County. That Lord Cheng is wicked. My father said he's a hypocrite with a sanctimonious facade!"
In his heart, Eunuch Fu silently gave Gu Xin a thumbs up. "Little girl, you're amazing! If I didn't know your family background, I would have suspected that you were pretending not to know the Emperor to come and complain! You're so lucky!"
Xue Qianyu shared the same thought as Eunuch Fu. If he didn't know that the Emperor's Dragon Scale Guards would never misjudge information, he would also suspect that the Gu family did this on purpose. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
The Emperor raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What happened? Tell your uncle, let him hear how hypocritical and sanctimonious this Taoyuan County Magistrate is. In the future, I'll stay away from him, or secretly get back at him to avenge my little niece."
Gu Xin looked around and whispered, "Lord Cheng, Madam Cheng, and the eldest son of the Cheng family are bullying our family. They want my sister to become the eldest son's concubine, and they even said that my sister likes the eldest son."
