Chapter 267 Smart Yuanbao
Xiao Yuanbao looked at Gu Yunyi seriously, as if to confirm whether what he said was true.
Gu Yunyi looked at Xiao Yuanbao's serious expression and always felt that he was really rude. However, looking at his eyes, he couldn't bear to say no, so he could only nod subconsciously.
"real!"
"Two!" Xiao Yuanbao answered the moment Gu Yunyi nodded. Although his voice was not loud, it was very clear without any ambiguity.
Then he was about to take Gu Yunyi to see Zhizhi, "Yuanbao, Zhizhi is still sleeping. When you wake up, uncle will let aunt take you there, okay?"
Xiao Yuanbao thought about it, pondered for a moment, then nodded, and ran to find Yun Sheng and Yun Mo.
Gu Yunyi looked at Xiao Yuanbao. He had heard from Fang Ziheng that Xiao Yuanbao had been in an accident before and had not talked much since then. The couple felt that he was a little stupid compared to other children of the same age.
But now it seems that this smart look is much better than other children of the same age. It’s just that Yuanbao doesn’t like to talk. In fact, his brain is smarter than anyone else’s.
After Gu Yunyi posted the couplet, he walked in. Mr. Shen was helping Fang Ziheng write the couplet, and Mr. Pei was not idle either.
Mr. Shen wrote that he hoped his family would be safe, while Mr. Pei wrote that he hoped he would pass the imperial examination next year.
After the couplet was written, Fang Ziheng couldn't wait to take a look at it. The two people's handwriting was different. One was delicate and elegant, but not without skill. Mr. Pei's handwriting was like him, bold and majestic, strong and powerful, and magnificent.
Then he smiled and said to Mr. Shen and Mr. Pei: “Thank you, sir and General Pei.”
Mr. Pei actually didn't know much about it. He just knew that he and his grandson passed the provincial examination this year.
So he asked, "Master Fang, are you planning to leave this year as well?"
"Yes, but I plan to stop this battle this year. If I can pass the exam, I will donate some money and become an idle official. If I fail, I can only fight again next year."
In this era, a juren could already become an official, but Gu Yunyi was stunned. After all, his knowledge was similar to his, and he would definitely be able to pass. So why didn't he continue studying? He didn't understand.
Mr. Shen had talked to Fang Ziheng before, and he was also a little surprised: "With your knowledge, you can continue? Why do you think so?"
"We've known each other for such a long time, but you didn't know that Brother Fang is actually a government official?" Gu Yunyi joked.
Fang Ziheng smiled bitterly and said, "How can I be obsessed with being an official? If conditions permit, I would rather be a young man who doesn't have to worry about food and drink and doesn't have to worry about making a living."
However, this wish is destined to be impossible. Although my parents passed away and left me some wealth, it is limited!
After so many years, the expenses have actually been almost the same, especially for Xiao Yuanbao. The two of them spent a lot of money to see famous doctors.
The large sum of money left behind was enough for him to use his academic achievement to buy a leisurely official position, so that he would not have to worry about his livelihood for the rest of his life.
As for taking further exams, or becoming an official in the court, he had never thought about it. All he wanted was to live a life of contentment with a small fortune.
His mother-in-law's family could actually provide for him, but he had never thought about it, not to mention that his wife was not the only one in his mother-in-law's family.
Although people outside thought he was a live-in son-in-law, he never spent much money on his mother-in-law's family over the years simply because he didn't want to cause any trouble.
After hearing this, Gu Yunyi thought, who wouldn’t want to live like that for the rest of their life! But I still feel it's a pity.
Mr. Shen felt the same way, and felt sorry for Fang Ziheng, but they were all outsiders and everyone had their own aspirations.
Gu Yunyi walked up to him and patted Fang Ziheng on the shoulder: "Then I wish Brother Fang's wish will come true and pass the exam this year!"
"I'll give you good words, I'll give you good words!"
"Yuanbao, let's go home." Fang Ziheng shouted to Yuanbao who was not far away.
Yuanbao heard his father's call and ran over with his short legs. Before leaving, he did not forget to tug at the corner of Gu Yunyi's clothes.
Gu Yunyi laughed for a while, it seemed that she had been thinking about it all the time, and then he asked someone to take the little guy away.
Fang Ziheng was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
"Nothing, this is a secret between us."
Seeing that Gu Yunyi was acting mysterious, Fang Ziheng didn't ask any more questions. Soon after seeing Xiao Yuanbao come out, he took the child back.
After Fang Ziheng left, Gu Yunyi began to think about his future life.
As for money, the family is not short of it, and it is estimated that there will be even less of it in the future. Not to mention Xu Qingmeng's business, even as the grandson of the Pei family, he does not have to worry about money anymore.
Although no matter whether he was spending his wife's money or the Pei family's money, given the rate at which his wife earned money, there was no need to spend the Pei family's money.
What's more, now because of the relationship with the Pei family, there is no reason not to go up to take the imperial examination. Even if he doesn't want to, he has to continue to go up for the sake of his family to no longer be threatened by others.
Gu Yunyi was destined to avenge his mother for everything Pei Qingwan had done to her.
However, right now in the court...
Gu Yunyi turned around, looked at Mr. Shen and his grandfather, and said to him, "Sir, if you have the chance, would you still want to return to the court?"
Mr. Pei looked at his grandson calmly: "Are you provoked by Mr. Fang's words?"
"Not really. I do have ambitions and have thought about showing myself in the court, but I am satisfied with the life I have now."
Mr. Shen looked at him, then looked at Mr. Pei and said, “It’s okay for you to be satisfied with the current situation, but have you ever thought about your current identity?”
Mr. Pei couldn't say such words, only Gu Yunyi's master, Mr. Shen, could say them.
"Yes, although you have the title of a scholar now, there are so many scholars in this city. If you want to stop here, what status will you have to be worthy of Meng Niang in the future?"
"Although I don't know much about the internal affairs of the Pei family, your mother would rather give up her identity as the eldest daughter of the Pei family and become an ordinary woman. As you can imagine, it is not that simple. Now that you have accepted it, how can you protect your family?"
Old Master Pei knew very well that as a big family, everyone in the family certainly had their own ideas. It was just that due to the respect that the current emperor had for the eldest branch of the Pei family, that is, Old Master Pei, they were somewhat wary, but there were very few small moves behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could his own daughter have been missing for so many years? How could Pei Qingwan possibly do it on her own?
"Youth can be poor, but ambition cannot be poor!"
Gu Yun was filled with shame, Mr. Shen’s words and his grandfather’s eyes were like a stick hitting him hard on the head.
