Chapter 314: Living is annoying, and dead is annoying
Mr. Zhuzhi was quite speechless, but seeing that everyone looked calm, especially Gu Zilu who was also very interested, Mr. Zhuzhi could only shut up completely.
Forget it, just go.
Just think of it as a way to relax the kids.

On the day the results were announced, there were crowds of people surrounding the imperial edict.
Whether they were candidates taking the exam or passers-by who did not, they all crowded to the list. Everyone wanted to take a look to see if Gu Zilu was the first.
There were even a few passers-by who walked over leisurely, muttering: "No need to look, Gu Zilu must be the first."
"Oh, first place? Gu Zilu didn't even take part in the palace examination, so how could he get first place?"
Many people sneered in low voices. It turned out that there were still some people who didn't know about this. As a result, many people who didn't know the truth were shocked.
"Why didn't you go? You've won five first places, and you're only missing the last one. Why didn't you go?"
He didn't even go to the palace examination. Isn't this Gu Zilu a little too arrogant?
Many people felt resentful in their hearts, and even many people who had bet on Gu Zilu to win first place were cursing him in their hearts.
Who is this person? Why didn’t he come to the palace examination?
Seeing that some people really didn't know, passers-by started to popularize the information, and everyone then knew that Gu Zilu's biological father was gone.
"The master of the Marquis' Mansion is gone? How come I didn't know?"
"I haven't heard of it either. When people kept talking about this Brother Lu who won the sixth place in the imperial examination, I thought that I would be able to encounter such a rare thing in my lifetime. Who would have thought that it would be gone!"
Many people had lamentations on their faces, and their expressions were more regretful and aggrieved than if they could not take part in the palace examination.
After all, the entire capital city was full of expectations, thinking that everything would be alright this time, and that the Wenquxing star who had won the top six places in the imperial examination had finally come down to earth. But when this kind of thing happened again, some people even began to murmur.
"Why die at this time when you can die at any other time?"
"This Yong'an Marquis Mansion is really holding us back..."
Everyone felt that the Yong'an Marquisate was really holding back.
As they were talking, someone shouted, "It's General Gu, General Gu is here!"
“Wow!”
The crowd was in an uproar.
“Shh…”
There was a hiss and everyone fell silent. They turned around and saw Gu Zilu sitting in the carriage and Gu Zixuan riding a tall horse in a martial arts robe.
Both brothers were wearing mourning clothes, which constantly reminded everyone that they were still descendants of the Yong'an Marquisate.
People looked at them quietly. Both brothers were very handsome. One had handsome features and healthy, bright wheat-colored skin. His black eyes swept over. His eyes, which had experienced war, were filled with bloodthirsty hostility. Just one glance made everyone lower their heads and avoid his sharp edge.
As for the other one, she had a gorgeous appearance and fair skin, and her eyes were especially like Su Jin's. When they were cold, they were like ice chips, without a trace of emotion, which made people tremble with fear.
What a good pair of brothers, both civil and military.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Zixuan killed the enemies immediately and became notorious. It was said that as long as the Huns heard Gu Zixuan's name, they would rather take a detour to avoid this evil god.
What about Gu Zilu? He is a genius. If he had not been in mourning, he would have been the youngest person in history to win the top six places in the imperial examination. There would be no one to dispute with him!
Both of them are outstanding. I can only say that Su Jin is really good at giving birth to such two good sons.
Some people couldn't help but sigh: "Yong'an Marquis Mansion, it's amazing!"
"What does it have to do with Yong'an Marquis's Mansion? It's all because of Miss Su Liu's good teaching. Yong'an Marquis's Mansion is in trouble now. Everyone has died..."
Everyone started whispering.
How to say it, the old marquis passed away last year, and Gu Changqing also passed away this year. The old lady Zou is bedridden, and when the Huns attacked this time, many people also died in the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. It was a tragic case.
The Yong'an Marquis Mansion seemed to have been cursed in the past two years. To be honest, it has been on a downward trend since Su Jin left the mansion.
Everyone was talking about it.
"I think Miss Su Liu is a good person. Otherwise, why would the retribution fall on the Yong'an Marquis Mansion now..."
"Yes, it's all retribution..."
While everyone was discussing, another carriage came up from behind. The young master of the Grand Princess's mansion was personally escorting the carriage. The young master was riding on a tall horse, and he would lower his head from time to time to talk to the people in the carriage.
"This is delicious, try this."
"I'll take you to eat delicious food later. Mother said there are tribute mangoes, which are very sweet and can't be tasted by others..."
"Why, are you tired? Then just sit in the car and avoid the wind. I will accompany my brother to see the list..."
Everyone watching: ...
Suddenly, he was fed a mouthful of dog food. He knew with his toes who was sitting in the carriage. It must be Yin Zhengnan's fiancée, the fourth lady of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Gu Suiyu.
When the women around heard this, they couldn't help but feel sad. They were all women, but their own men were always treating them like a nose or a eye, finding fault with them, saying this was not good enough and that was not right. But now look at Gu Suiyu, they are so envious.
Some were so jealous that they couldn't help but say, "They only dote on me now, but after we get married, you will find me dissatisfied with everything!"
"Absolutely. For men, the best ones are the ones you haven't gotten yet. So, shouldn't you pamper him now?"
"Alas, no matter how rich this fourth girl is, she can't escape the tragic fate of all women!"
Gu Suiyu is very rich.
Her wealth has nothing to do with the Yong'an Marquisate.
What Gu Sui Yu held in her hands were all her own properties, and some of the farms that Su Jin had given her the capital to buy. However, Su Jin's money had nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion.
When Gu Suiyu gets married in the future, the Marquis's Mansion will give her a dowry, and Su Jin will also give her a portion, and that's all money!
Many people were envious and said that marrying Gu Suiyu was no different from marrying the God of Wealth. Isn't she the richest girl in the capital?
Oh, there is also Ning Ruolan, she is also very rich, but Ning Ruolan is a concubine’s daughter, her mother is just a maid in the mansion, so her dowry is less than Gu Suiyu’s!
People were whispering and calculating. Yin Zhengnan frowned, looked over suddenly, and scolded: "If you have nothing to do, go home and work. I will treat my wife well for the rest of my life. Just wait and don't slap me!"
The gossiping women were startled. They backed away in fear of Yin Zhengnan's status and position, but as they backed away they found it funny. They could only say that he was just a child who dared to say anything.
As for the gambling in the capital, those who bet on Gu Zilu to win the sixth place naturally lost.
After all, Gu Zilu didn't even take the exam, so there was no question of him winning.
But despite this, no one hated Gu Zilu. Instead, they felt that it was Gu Changqing of Yong'an Marquis Mansion who was at fault for dragging down several children before his death.
Some people are annoying when they are alive, and they still annoy people even after they die. They are really despicable.
