Chapter 849
849 Chapter 849-pouring night incense
Cai Xiaolian and Madam li were talking about the incident at Liansheng Street. After their discussion, Madam li mentioned the two children.
Cai Xiaolian understood Gu Nian’s intentions and did not reject him like before.
Madam li was overjoyed and began to talk about her family’s plans.
Li Muyan would only turn eighteen in October, but Duke Rong and his wife had asked the royal family to contact an eminent monk and get him an amulet that could keep li Muyan safe for half a month.
Therefore, they planned to return to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If the Gu family agreed, they would start preparing for the wedding after they returned to the capital.
From Madam Li’s point of view, Gu shouxin would definitely pass. She had never heard of any batch of top scorer who did not pass the Imperial scholar examination, unless they did not take any reference.
Originally, Duke Rong and his wife had also told Madam li that if the Gu family agreed to the marriage, even if Gu shouxin’s ranking was not good, they would also inform the Ministry of official personnel affairs to give Gu shouxin an official position in the capital. By then, the two children would be in the capital.
Madam li didn’t say these words to Cai Xiaolian. She just felt that these words were a bit insulting. She regarded Cai Xiaolian as a good sister, so how could she say such words to her?
Mrs. Li was genuinely happy about the two children. She had also persuaded her parents that the Gu family was not what they thought. Since they had decided to be in-laws, they should not be so high and mighty. Even if they could not be in-laws, the Gu family was her friend. She did not want her biological parents to treat the Gu family like this.
Cai Xiaolian did not agree immediately. Instead, she said that she would go home and ask Gu Nian for her opinion.
After Cai Xiaolian and the Gu sisters left, the servant maids in the house ran to Madam Xie’s place and learned about the child’s marriage.
Duke Rong was angry again. that silly girl, Yusheng. She should have told us that we would give him an official position. If she had told us, the Gu family would have agreed immediately!
Xie Shi also felt that the Gu family was being pretentious. They only passed the Imperial examinations in their thirties. Although they were top scorer, how much future did they have?
Duke Rong was so angry that he called his attendants to find Gu shouxin.
At this moment, Gu shouxin was in the courtyard, examining Gu en’s homework. When he heard the knock on the door, he thought that his wife and children had returned. He happily went to open the door, but when he opened it, he saw Duke Rong, who had a bad expression on his face. They didn’t have good intentions!
He raised his eyebrows and did not let her in.
I don’t owe you any money! Who was he acting like this for?
Seeing that Gu shouxin didn’t speak, Duke Rong raised his head and chin, ” “You’re not inviting me in?”
“Who are you?” Gu shouxin asked expressionlessly.
“Ha, hahaha, Who am I?” Duke Rong was dumbfounded.
Gu shouxin closed the door directly.
Duke Rong didn’t let his servant knock on the door anymore, but instead, he banged on the door. He didn’t even realize that he had been very irritable recently.
Gu shouxin opened the door again and looked at Duke Rong, who was still raising his hand.
“How about the Minister counsellors of the six ministries?” Duke Rong asked with a frown.
In the great Zhou Dynasty, the counsellors of the six ministries were secondary rank 5 officials.
“High Duke, you’re doing the business of buying and selling official positions?” Gu shouxin sneered.
Duke Rong suppressed the anger in his heart. let Gu Nian and mu Yan get engaged. You will enter the capital’s general examination. No matter what your results are, I will give you an official position.
Gu shouxin laughed. It seemed that in his previous life, before he became nine thousand years old, the brothers of the Empress Dowager’s maternal family were also so arrogant. What did he do to them after he became nine thousand years old?
He thought for a moment and seemed to have asked someone to pour night incense in the capital! Every household that poured the night incense was responsible for it. If you dared to provoke me, I wouldn’t pour the night incense for your family and would fill your house with feces. You would be very similar to the high Duke who was as arrogant as the King of Heaven!
