"Madam, this old servant specially sent the boy to the countryside. Gu Yi was quite sensible and took the initiative to go to Jingzhao Prefecture to change his household registration."
Nanny Su asked her son to investigate the matter thoroughly and then ran to report to Li.
"He also sold all the property given to him by the Marquisate and returned to his hometown with the money."
"After returning home, he studied hard, saying that he wanted to take the imperial examination and become a private school teacher in the countryside."
Nanny Su curled her lips, with obvious disdain in her eyes.
Scholar?
Humph, what’s a scholar?
As expected, as soon as this person left the Marquis' Mansion, he became an inferior person.
Even if one passed the imperial examination and became a juren or jinshi, one still had to start as a seventh-rank official.
And their Zhou family is a dignified marquisate.
The Marquis was promoted in the Ministry of Works and is now a fourth-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Works.
A fourth-rank official in Beijing is a height that scholars may not be able to achieve in their entire lives!
"It's great to be a private school teacher!"
However, Li was very satisfied with Gu Yi's approach. This man was indeed sensible and did not aim too high.
As a farmer's son who had received education but was not very smart, it was a great idea to pass the examination to become a scholar and become a private school teacher.
If Gu Yi said that he wanted to take the imperial examination and become an official, Li might mock him while also being secretly wary.
What she wanted was for Gu Yi to stay in the countryside peacefully instead of running to the capital and being an eyesore!
Although what happened back then has been dealt with long ago.
However, as the saying goes, even the most meticulous plans may still lead to omissions.
The position of the Marquis's heir had been successfully passed to his own son Zhou Ren.
Everything in the Zhou family will also belong to them and their son.
Li doesn't want any twists and turns.
"After all, he was raised in the Marquis' Mansion for more than ten years and has been my son for so many years. It can be considered a kind of fate."
Li was thinking about it in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She deliberately put on a kind and gentle look and said slowly, "Send more people to look after it from now on. If anyone needs help, please help!"
Nanny Su was not stupid, so she naturally understood the implication of her master's words.
Although she felt that Gu Yi was not a concern, as a qualified servant, the first and foremost thing she had to do was to be obedient!
"Yes! I've made a note of it! Madam, don't worry, I'll let the boy at home go out to the countryside more often!"
…
Gu Yi returned to the countryside and picked up his textbooks again.
Fortunately, he was not too "aloof" when he left the Zhou family.
He took away all the things he had used at the Zhou family, a total of three or four large boxes.
Among them are clothes, some purses, fan pendants, headbands, jade pendants and other small items.
But there are more books.
The Four Books and Five Classics, as well as classics by various sages, are all available.
The reason why Gu Yi chose to take the things away with such a thick face was also thanks to the "precognitive dream".
In the dream, his books were worth a lot of money.
When he really left the Zhou family and began to experience the suffering of the people, Gu Yi realized that for ordinary people, every penny is extremely important.
And those books cost several taels of silver, which ordinary farmers simply couldn’t afford!
There are also some unique and rare books, which are even more valuable.
"Haha, I used to think that the properties given by the Marquis' Mansion were valuable, but I didn't know that the most valuable ones were actually these books!"
It is true that "books are the golden house".
Gu Yi was secretly happy: Does this count as collecting the "interest" from the Marquis' Mansion in advance?
It's just this debt—
"Excuse me, is Prince Zhou here?"
Just as Gu Yi collected his thoughts and began to study hard, a voice was heard outside the door.
Prince Zhou?
What a distant name.
Gu Yi put down the book and walked out on his own initiative.
His biological parents are both very honest people who have never seen the world, so they should not be scared by the visitor.
"I'm Gu Yi!"
Gu Yi came out to greet him in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and happened to see a weak young man.
This person looks so familiar.
It seems like——
"Han, Prince Han?"
Gu Yi remembered that this person was Han Ding, the prince of Cheng'en Mansion.
Is he also the good son-in-law that Mrs. Li is most proud of?
When Gu Yi left the capital, nothing had happened to the Han family.
However, the countryside was isolated from the news, so Gu Yi did not know that a major change had occurred in the Han family.
He looked at Han Ding with some wariness, wondering what this man's intention was.
"Gu Yi? Are you returning to your roots so soon?"
Han Ding looked at the young man in front of him with some amusement.
When accompanying Zhou to her parents' home, Han Ding met Zhou Yi, oh no, it was Gu Yi.
But at that time, Gu Yi looked hunched over, with a sense of unease and inferiority in his bones.
He seemed out of place in the Marquis's Mansion.
It has only been a short time since we last met. At this moment, Gu Yi held his head high and chest out, looking much more energetic.
Well, this should be a kind of confidence!
Gu Yi has found his "home", and even though he is no longer rich, he is still proud and self-respecting.
This Gu Yi is quite interesting.
“…”
Gu Yi couldn't tell whether Han Ding's words were kind or malicious.
To be exact, he simply couldn't see through the person in front of him.
The powerful people in the capital all said that the second young master of the Han family was cowardly and weak, not good at either literature or martial arts, and was no match for his half-brother Han Nai.
However, Gu Yi met Han Ding twice, and each time, he felt that this man was very contradictory.
It gives people a more dangerous feeling.
And in his dream, he seemed to have dreamed about what happened in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion.
etc!
Cheng'en Palace?
Gu Yi hurriedly calculated the time in his mind. It seemed that it was during this recent period that Han Nai had an accident. Duke Cheng'en Han Yan could not bear the pain of losing his son. His hair turned white overnight and he also suffered a stroke.
