In the afternoon, when Zhulan wanted to lie down for a while, Changzhong left the main courtyard to look for Yuwen's niece. When the girl motioned for her niece to be in the study, Changzhong asked in surprise, "You are actually painting?"
Yuwen took the pen, "Why can't I paint?"
"I haven't seen you come to the study a few times."
Yuwen washed her hands and motioned for the girl to wash her pen, "Is there something wrong with the little uncle who came to find your niece?"
Changzhong put down the post in his hand, "Look at it."
Yuwen picked it up suspiciously, then put it down and said, "Zhuo Guyu not only plots Gu Sheng's reputation, but also wants to destroy Gu Sheng's marriage."
Not everyone can accept Gu Sheng's paintings. If you really appreciate Gu Sheng's paintings, Gu Sheng will become famous in the capital.
Changzhong, "I think it's pretty good."
Yuwen was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Gu Sheng doesn't care if you want to come."
Chang Zhong thought that if Gu Sheng cared about it, he would not sell paintings. Gu Sheng is very practical, "I heard that Gu Sheng bought a shop again?"
Yuwen, "Where did little uncle hear about it?"
The little uncle hasn't seen Gu Sheng for a long time, maybe she hasn't been stared at for a long time.
Chang Zhong smiled, "His shop was bought by the future concubine."
Wu Shiheng's temperament is very good in the capital, and he is the future concubine. He has a bit of face everywhere. The shops in the capital are not easy to buy. Gu Sheng has no such connections, and the future concubine is helping.
Yuwen, "It's only been so long, Young Master Gu is very good at saving money."
"Yeah, it's a man who lives."
At the time of the Xiayamen, at the entrance of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng hated Zhuo Guyu the most, and every time he found him to speak, he was at the Xiayamen, because there were the most people.
Zhuo Guyu couldn't help smiling, "I'm waiting for Master Gu."
Gu Sheng had a half-smile on his face, "I'll be there on time."
Changzhi heard someone laugh out loud, and looked back, the two sages were snickering, and when he noticed that his eyes were no longer smiling, he looked at Zhuo Guyu, "The official will be there on time."
Gu Sheng mentioned it in his heart. He knew that Lord Zhou didn't care about his paintings. He wasn't sure whether Lord Zhou cared about his paintings being appreciated. Seeing Lord Zhou nod his head at him, Gu Sheng loosened his clenched palm. sweating.
Zhuo Guyu smiled at Gu Sheng, turned away and left where there was still a smile on his face, he didn't understand, how did Gu Sheng get into the emperor's eyes?
In recent years, the end of the year is approaching, and there is no major event in the court. The emperor has asked Gu Sheng to study in the palace many times, but he has not caught it once.
Gu Sheng waited for his elder brother to pick him up. Recently, elder brother picked him up.
Gu Yan saw his brother's expressionless face, "But what happened?"
Gu Sheng told Zhuo Guyu's invitation, and Gu Yan turned to look at his younger brother, "You have saved a lot of money in the last half year. I beg you to stop selling paintings in the future."
Gu Sheng, "The emperor knows about someone begging me to paint."
Gu Yan was stunned, "Huh?"
Does the emperor know about this?
Gu Sheng recalled the day when he knelt down and pleaded guilty. The emperor was not angry, he let him get up with a smile, and said that he would live his life. being brought up to speak.
He really doesn't care that Zhuo Guyu appreciates his paintings, he is not happy to be calculated.
At the entrance of the household department, Zhou Shuren saw the fat face on the window of the Wang family's carriage, and he twitched his beard, but walked forward, "You didn't go home from the yamen, why did you turn to the household department?"
Wang Chi, "Come up, I'll take you home."
Zhou Shuren, "...It's always my son or grandson who takes me home."
Wang Chi, "..."
Zhou Shuren laughed and got on the carriage. Wang Chi glared at Zhou Shuren, "How old are you, and you still take advantage of me."
Zhou Shuren snorted, "How old can take advantage of you."
Wang Chi snorted, "I'm here to find you on business."
"I knew I wouldn't be sent home for no reason."
Wang Chi took out a book from the compartment of the carriage, "This Mr. Fengqing is my sister-in-law!"
Zhou Shuren drank tea to warm his body, "You guessed it and asked me?"
Wang Chi held the book, "More than one volume, what about the others?"
Zhou Shuren drank the tea slowly, "Wait."
When Wang Chi put the book back, he thought that he would not wait. Anyway, there was his grandson-in-law, "A lot of people must guess who Mr. Fengqing is?"
Zhou Shuren sneered, "There are a lot of smart people in the capital."
Several princes have learned these books since childhood. A person’s secret is a secret, and it’s not a secret if many people know it, but if they know it, they won’t publicize it, and they won’t ask him for answers. To put it bluntly, they don’t want to be compared by women. So I don't want to talk about it.
The more the emperor promotes, the more they will keep silent.
Wang Chi touched the book, "It's a pity sister-in-law."
Zhou Shuren rolled his eyes, "Can the Wang family study use this book?"
Wang Chi, "Of course I have to learn. I have already inquired that it will be sold in the bookstore in seven days."
Zhou Shuren touched the deed in his arms, feeling better.
Wang Chi asked, "Will there be changes to the imperial examinations in the future?"
Zhou Shuren asked back, "Is there any change?"
Wang Chi was silent, and then said faintly: "You said that there is innovation before change, so change is right."
It's just that he was a little uncomfortable after inheriting it for a long time.
Zhou Shuren smiled in his eyes, "With changes, there will be a better future."
It's not bad to stick to the same rules, but progress requires change.
At the gate of Zhouhou Mansion, Wang Chi looked at Zhou Shuren who got off the carriage, "I've already taken you to the door of the house, won't you invite me to dinner?"
Zhou Shuren waved his hand without looking back, "If you don't ask, you can leave."
Wang Chi silently watched Zhou Shuren enter the mansion gate, and then looked at the book at hand, Yang Shi was really surprised, and then she sighed with emotion, how could she be a simple person who can manage a few Zhuangzi so well, someone who knows the inside story , a lot of people can't sleep.
In the main courtyard, after reading the deed, Zhulan raised her head when she heard footsteps. Shuren had already changed her clothes and came out, "Give me two hundred taels every year? Did I read it every year?"
Zhou Shuren, "Yes, every year."
Zhulan pointed to the deed and said, "As long as the Zhou family's sons are here, UU reading will have two hundred taels every year."
If the Zhou family suffers a great disaster in the future, with this deed, as long as the dynasty does not change, the royal family will recognize it. Two hundred taels a year can afford the scholars and live a rich life.
And this is not a disguised guarantee that the Zhou family will not rebel and will not exterminate the clan, and the descendants will have a way back. This is a guarantee left to the descendants.
Zhou Shuren felt lighthearted because of the contract book, "This is what I negotiated with the emperor. The emperor wants to give you a sum of money."
He was so stupid that he made a one-shot deal. These books were sorted out by his daughter-in-law. People's memory is limited and they are not unforgettable. Many topics in the book were compiled by the daughter-in-law, and he had to study various books. There are many books on the bookshelf, all of which are hard work.
Zhulan put away the deed carefully, "I will ask the kitchen to cook a few more dishes that you like to eat. You are the hero today. Let's have dinner later."
Zhou Shuren smiled and watched his daughter-in-law pull out the box, and saw her brooding, "What's wrong?"
