Chapter 299 300. Parade
Gu Benluo stared at the people below and kept calling "Daddy", and he actually succeeded in making Gu Wenheng hear his voice.
Gu Wenheng reined in his horse, stopped, looked up, and waved at them.
Gu Benluo opened his arms and wanted to pounce down, which frightened Li Qiu so much that he quickly stepped back holding the person. Unexpectedly, the little guy actually started crying.
Jin Qianqian was also startled just now. She quickly took the child and put him on the ground, then slapped his butt, "This is the second floor. You will get hurt if you do this."
"Dad, yes, dad, I want to ride a horse." Gu Benluo wanted to run to the window, but Jin Qianqian grabbed him by the collar.
"If you want to ride a horse like your father, that depends on your ability." Jin Qianqian was amused. "When that day comes, mother will also come here to see Luo Luo's majestic side."
"Today, Dad will take you to show off," Gu Wenheng pushed the door open at this time, looking at the mother and son with a smile in his eyes.
"Why are you here? Isn't there still a parade down there?" Jin Qianqian looked closely at Gu Wenheng, who was wearing the top scholar's robe, and her eyes almost sparkled with stars.
Gu Wenheng walked over and picked up Gu Benluo, "I'll take Luoluo with me. You can have someone wait at the palace gate later."
Because there was a palace banquet at night, Gu Wenheng could not send the child home directly.
Jin Qianqian asked with some concern, "Is it okay to take him with you?"
Gu Wenheng looked at her deeply and said, "Actually, I would rather take you with me."
Jin Qianqian's cheeks flushed, and she no longer cared about those things. She pushed him and the child out together, "Then you should pay attention to this kid, he's always moving around.
Don't even think about waiting until the palace gate. I'll let Lin Dapeng and the others follow. If you don't want to play anymore, just hand the person over to him."
Gu Wenheng knew that the team below was still waiting and didn't dare to delay too long. He responded and ran down directly with the child in his arms.
When they saw the number one scholar who suddenly disappeared and then reappeared with the little boy in his arms, everyone believed that the legend that the number one scholar already had a wife and a child was true, and the child was already this big.
Gu Wenheng held Luo Luo in his arms and sat on the horse's back. He looked up and waved at Jin Qianqian who was looking out the window.
"Fortunately, you are still young," Jin Qianqian nodded at her little son who was still sleeping, "Just wait for your brother to show off to you in the future."
Soon, Gu Wenheng's official rank was also lowered. He was the editor of the Hanlin Academy, a direct sixth-rank official.
The second and third place winners were also appointed editors of the Hanlin Academy, which was the seventh rank.
Hua Shunming did not deny them the vacation they deserved, and allowed them to return home in glory to comfort their families.

"You three, father and son, only know how to get things done. It was so lively in Beijing the past two days, but we missed it." With the silver compensated by the Xu family's daughter last time, their lives are a little better now, and Wang Caiyue also has the energy to gossip with others.
"If we don't do anything, will everyone just starve to death?" Gu Yuanmu took a big gulp of water. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and he had to drink a lot of water every time he got home. The woman was lazy, so they had to wait for them to come back to fetch water.
"Go away. That's because you don't know that this year's top scholar is also named Gu. How come your fates are so different? Others are top scholars with a promising future, but you are still working yourself to death for a few copper coins."
Gu Yuanmu now doesn't like Wang Caifeng as much as before. This woman is really getting lazier and lazier. "Gu, there are many people with this surname in the world. Besides, if we weren't destined to have this fate, we probably wouldn't marry a wife like you."
"What's wrong with me as a daughter-in-law? That's because you are incompetent. Our two sons are already so old, but now you can't even be someone else's son-in-law."
Hearing his mother bringing up the past again, Gu Lehuan didn't even wait for dinner. He got up and walked straight out the door.
Wang Caiyue, "What are you doing? You're giving me a cold shoulder..."
Gu Yuanmu, "You should say less. You keep saying 'son-in-law' and 'son-in-law'. Do you think you are such a mother?
I've already said that the matter is over and no one is allowed to mention it again."
Wang Caiyue muttered in a low voice, "I'm just saying this to get things off track. Besides, you're already an adult, aren't you anxious to have a grandchild?"
Gu Yuanmu glared at her, "Shut up! If you keep making such a fuss, then our family won't stay here anymore. Let's just buy some dry food and walk back by ourselves."
Wang Caifeng snorted and added more fire to the stove, "You always bring this up. If you were a relative of the number one scholar, we wouldn't have to stay here.
But I remember that your seventh brother also passed the examination for a Tongsheng, and I don’t know if he made it any further, even if he became a Xiucai, that’s fine.”
"Seventh Brother?" Gu Yuanmu frowned. "Do you think that reading is really that easy? If Seventh Brother hadn't met the old scholar who taught him for a few years, how could he have passed the examination and become a student?
As for the pens, inkstones, and tuition fees, even if the brothers worked together to provide them, they still couldn’t afford it.”
"That's true. Your family is not destined to have this fate."
“…”

Gu Lehuan ran all the way to the moat, looked at the row of weeping willows beside it, and sat down directly against a tree.
Although he had come to the city that everyone longed to visit, his life these days was even more frustrating than when he was fleeing from famine.
There is endless work to do every day, and I have to endure being ostracized by others.
What he couldn't understand the most was that his mother seemed to have become a different person for some reason, becoming somewhat sarcastic and mean.
"Don't be ungrateful, little girl," an obscene voice came from my ear, "Anyway, you are the only one in your family now. It's better for you to follow me than to live in fear all day and night."
"Get out! I'm telling you, my servants will be here soon, so you won't end up with something to worry about," a familiar voice came into Gu Lehuan's ears.
"So what? When they come and see us hugging each other, they will definitely call me brother-in-law." As he said this, the man smiled smugly.
"You, you are despicable."
Gu Lehuan now heard clearly who it was. No wonder he felt the voice was familiar. It turned out to be the girl from the Xu family.
"Bah, my mother came to propose marriage a few years ago, and the old woman in your family was so arrogant, saying that even if she wanted to find a son-in-law, she wouldn't choose someone like me. Now I really want to let her see that in the end, she still fell into my arms." The voice became more and more arrogant, and it might have thought that there was no one around, and finally laughed twice.
"Li Laizi, stop right there. Even though I am the only one in my family now, I can tell you that I am not someone you can easily mess with.
You've really pushed me to the limit. Even if it means sacrificing my reputation, I will go to the government to sue you."
Xu Nuo didn't expect that even after he said that, the other party would still press forward step by step. Seeing that they were about to retreat to the edge of the moat, sweat broke out on his forehead.
Seeing her like this, Li Laizi became even more excited. "Then go ahead and sue me! I can tell everyone that you and I are clearly in love and have even reached the stage of discussing marriage, but you are here looking down on the poor and loving the rich.
Tell me, what do you think of what I said? Do others believe you or me?
