Chapter 104 Gu Zilu Returns Home
Everyone sat down in unison.
The Master said, "Is the poetry meeting over? Show me the poems you wrote."
Everyone looked at each other and only handed in two drafts of poems. There was no choice but to let Xie Huaiguang and Gu Ziyun do it, and the rest were fighting.
After reading the draft of the poem, the Master couldn't help but frown: "This one doesn't look like it was written by Ziyun."
Gu Ziyun's face suddenly stiffened.
It's not that it doesn't look like the real thing. This article was written by him himself.
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing, and everyone had different expressions.
In the eerie silence, only Gu Zixuan subconsciously stared at Gu Ziyun's back.
Could it be that Yin Zhengnan’s joke came true?
Was it all fraud in the past?
By the way, he seems to have been looking for Zilu recently.
Gu Zixuan also looked towards Gu Zilu's seat with a thoughtful look on his face.
**
A few days later, Brother Lu returned home.
Gu Zilu came back at night.
After entering the room, he washed off the blood on his body, then took a bath, and tidied himself up before coming to Liuting Pavilion.
He ordered the servants not to say a word to Su Jin.
The maid Xiao Tao looked worried: "What if the lady blames me..."
Gu Zilu wiped his hands calmly: "Just say it was my order."
Xiao Tao could only nod.
As the maid who served Fifth Brother closely, Xiao Tao could clearly feel the changes in Gu Zilu. Although Brother Lu used to be a taciturn person, he was always warm and gentle. But now, he seemed to be cold for no reason.
Especially when he came back covered in blood, Xiaotao was really scared.
"I'm going to my mother's place."
After Gu Zilu cleaned up and made sure that nothing was wrong, he entered the Liuting Pavilion.
Su Jin looked at his son with some confusion.
After all, she said that he couldn't come back without her order, but Lu Ge'er actually came back. A child who had always been well-behaved and obedient was suddenly disobedient.
Su Jin raised his eyebrows, well, that’s a good sign.
"Mother."
Gu Zilu knelt in front of her and said, "My son has an unreasonable request, I hope mother will agree to it."
"Tell me about it."
The young man raised his eyes, and his autumn-water eyes turned into a deep pool. The purity within was submerged in the depth, and finally turned into a calmness that no one could understand.
"My son wants to transfer a family from the farm to work in my yard. In addition, my son will study hard from today on and must win the sixth place in the imperial examination. I will personally fight for a first-class imperial edict for my mother."
At that moment, Su Jin's heart became excited.
Passing the imperial examination with six top marks? This is something that one would never dare to dream of. Throughout the entire ancient history, there have only been two people who passed the imperial examination with six top marks!
Gu Zilu, do you want to get six yuan in the imperial examination?
Moreover, he has to personally fight for the imperial edict for himself, so isn't he relying on Gu Ziyun?
I couldn't suppress the smile on my lips, and my mood was like the surface of water blown by the breeze, with ripples rolling up.
Gu Zilu has changed.
She was not surprised by Gu Zilu's change, but was just curious about what had happened in these few short days to make such a pure young man change so completely.
I guess something big must have happened?
"Also, here are the evidences of the village head who oppressed the tenants and took commissions privately. They are all accounts, loan notes, and IOUs. Please take a look, mother."
Gu Zilu held up the account book and documents with both hands, and Jin Chuan subconsciously took it and handed it to Su Jin.
In the end, Su Jin didn't even look at them. He just put them down and asked, "Brother Lu, what do you think the village head should do?"
The young man spoke eloquently, "Mother, the mansion is different now than it was in the past. Father and grandfather were always trembling when they went to court every day. We should not interfere in such matters and leave it to the government office to deal with them, so as to avoid giving people a chance to talk. In addition, several bandits broke into the manor last night, and one person died when the tenants rose up to resist. The people from the government office went to the manor early this morning, but mother, don't worry, your son will handle these things."
It's watertight.
Su Jin took a deep breath. She didn't know whether this change was good or bad. Would this child be misled by her?
The handsome boy in the TV series "Sound, Sound and Beauty" had a genetic mutation and grew up to be a dark and evil villain? ?
No no no, that won’t happen…
"Well, go and have a rest. Mother believes you can handle everything."
Gu Zilu bowed and left respectfully as before.
The peonies in the yard have fallen, but the peonies are in full bloom. Gu Zilu bends down, and gently holds up the delicate flowers with his clean fingers. There is a faint smile at the corners of his lips, and there is unstoppable tenderness in his eyes.
And when he stood up, all the tenderness in his eyes was suppressed, replaced by a dark darkness like the night.
What is the greatest honor for a scholar? What is the highest starting point?
He ranked first in the county examination, prefectural examination, academy examination, provincial examination, metropolitan examination, and palace examination!
Fortunately, in order to help Gu Ziyun succeed, he never took any exams. That was good, it was still in time.
Gu Zilu was in a good mood and walked straight to the back door.
There was a black-covered horse-drawn carriage at the back door, and inside was Tian Laosan's family of four.
Tian Laosan and his wife stared at the large courtyard in front of them in surprise. They had never been to school and were illiterate, so they had no idea where this place was. However, just by looking at the high walls and deep courtyard, they knew it must be the powerful family that they would never dare to dream of.
"I've already told mother that you guys will come to my yard to work. Erya will be a maid, and Daniu..."
He looked at Tian Daniu, whose fever had subsided. On the way here, he took people to the pharmacy. The farmer was in good health, and after taking a dose of medicine, he felt much better.
Tian Daniu's jaw dropped: "Your mother? Is this your home?"
"You should say the mansion. Forget it. Let me let you learn the rules first."
Erya curled up in her mother's arms. She would always remember last night.
Zhou Fu, the beast, was forcing her to take advantage. She had even prepared her scissors, thinking that she would stab Zhou Fu to death first and then commit suicide. At most, one life would be worth another. But Gu Zilu rushed in with his elder brother and stabbed Zhou Fu to death. Then, just like in a dream, a fire started. Then someone shouted that bandits were coming in, and everyone ran out to chase them. Then, in the chaos, she was taken home by her father. Before dawn, she took a carriage out, waited for the city gate to open, and then entered the city...
She is still feeling dizzy and even subconsciously touches her body to verify whether she is really okay and whether she is really alive.
"I am the fifth son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. Once you enter this door, call me Brother Lu."
He gave the order in a low voice, which caused the people in the carriage to suddenly widen their eyes. Then, without even getting out of the car, they all knelt down and kowtowed to Gu Zilu.
Although Gu Zilu was of noble status, who would have thought that he was actually the son of the boss, the fifth son of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion? !
Tian Daniu was stunned. Everyone knelt down, but he was so shocked that he just stared with eyes wide open and mouth wide open. Tian Lao San was so angry that he pushed people down directly: "Why don't you kneel down and kowtow!!"
Bang!
When this was pressed, Tian Daniu was unable to react. Everyone else was kneeling, but he fell heavily on the wooden board, prostrating himself on the ground.
Gu Zilu: ...
There is no need for such a grand ceremony.
