Chapter 126: And 笄 (one more) (1/2)
Chapter 126 and 笄 (one more)
Anjun Wang received the post from Ding'an Houfu that night.
Anjun Wang ended Chen Guo’s proton career, and has been very low-key since returning to the capital, except for studying in the imperial examination system.
The people in the capital all know the temperament of King An, and will not take the initiative to befriend him on weekdays, so looking at the post in his hand, King An was a little surprised.
In order not to be abrupt, Gu Houye’s post was addressed to Jun Wang and Zhuang Mengdie.
Anjun Wang was quite surprised, but it seemed not so surprising to see Zhuang Mengdie’s name: ”Gu Houye really raised a restless daughter.”
You don’t have to think about it or guess that it was Gu Jinyu who had taken the wrong place.
However, King An did not expect that Gu Jinyu had misunderstood her words, which caused Gu Jinyu to have undesirable thoughts about herself. He only thought that she was trying to win over Zhuang Mengdie, and by the way, he invited him to the house by Zhuang Mengdie’s hand. Dip his light on.
He sneered and threw the post on the table.
Wu Yang asked: ”Junwang, what did Ding'an Houfu think? Why did you send a post to you and Miss Mengdie?”
The relationship between the two parties is actually a bit complicated. The last time I was in the villa was an accident. There was no inn nearby when it was late, and he couldn't see things at night, fearing that his illness would be exposed before staying in the villa of Ding'an Houfu.
However, behind Ding’an Hou’s Mansion is Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shu is behind your Majesty. Isn’t it possible that they have too close contacts with the dealer to cause your Majesty’s speculation?
Anjun Wang sneered: ”If someone asks about it, it's just the relationship between the two younger daughters, and it's not partisanship.”
Wu Yang curled his lips in disgust: ”Don't go to the banquet in this kind of mansion! Lord Hou was not worthy to have a relationship with our dealer when he was in office, let alone now?”
King An said calmly: ”Don’t look down on Ding’an Hou Mansion. The old man was so successful that he was suddenly taken over by his majesty. He also handed over his secretly trained dead soldiers. He left Kyoto with a chill. Went around the world. Do you think this is really the case?”
”Isn't it?” Wu Yang asked.
King An squinted his eyes: ”I have always suspected that Master Lao Hou had broken with His Majesty on the surface, but he actually took the opportunity to leave the capital and went to secretly cultivate troops for His Majesty. If Xuanping Hou Mansion is an open spear in His Majesty’s hands, then Ding’an The Hou Mansion is the dark arrow behind your Majesty.”
Wu Yang expressed suspicion: ”But how do I look at Master Gu Hou who is not like a great weapon, how long can he last with the strength of the old man? Is your majesty's bet crooked?”
An County King's eyes are deep and quiet: ”Gu Houye can't, Gu Changqing can.”
Wu Yang: ”This...”
Anjun Wang did not continue this topic, but said: ”Miss Gu's birthday is also on the same day, right?”
Wu Yang naturally understood that the girl Gu mentioned by his master’s son was not Gu Jinyu. He said, ”It should be, and there is also Young Master Gu.”
Jun Wang nodded: ”Did they find out about their residence in the capital?”
Wu Yang said: ”I have inquired, Miss Gu’s father-in-law went to the Guozijian to report to the aisle and kept the address, but...”
”It's just what?” Jun Wang asked.
Wu Yang said: ”That house was the one that the county king once liked and let his subordinates buy it, but unfortunately it was bought at ten times the price.”
An impression of Junwang: ”You mean the house is very close to the Imperial College and has two large courtyards?”
”Yes!” Wu Yang nodded!
County King An asked in confusion: ”How did they live in that house?”
Wu Yang said: ”I heard that Miss Gu's father-in-law rented it for thirty taels of silver a month.”
Jun Wang became more and more puzzled: ”It's only thirty taels?”
Thirty taels are actually quite a lot, but if you know that the house was bought at ten times the price, you will feel that the rent is not worth mentioning.
All the houses in that alley are very close to the Imperial College, but only that house has the largest courtyard, which is very suitable for people with children in the family. She happens to have a three-year-old brother.
It’s just, how did they rent it?
”Perhaps luck is good.” What Wu Yang really wants to say is that the person who bought the house is a fool, and spent such a large price to buy the school district house of the Imperial College, and the result is to rent it out?
Anjun Wang shook his head: ”Forget it, you don't have to go into this. It's not bad for them to live there. There are students from the Imperial College nearby, and no one will recognize the Queen Mother.”
”One more thing.” Wu Yang said.
”What's the matter?” Jun Wang asked.
Wu Yang said with a weird expression: ”Does the county prince remember the recommended places in the county? The subordinates have inquired that Miss Gu's father-in-law took two case leaders in the children's test, and the overall score ranked first in the county.
King Anjun said: ”I know about this. It was because of his good grades that I persuaded my grandfather to find a way to reopen the Imperial College, so that he can enroll with his family and the queen mother can enter the capital without compelling attention. Any questions?”
Wu Yang looked puzzled and said: ”The place recommended by the county is not him, he was admitted by himself!”
County King An hummed in confusion, wondering if he was even more surprised that the other party got the first place in the provincial exam, or the question of the number of places he was even more surprised.
”Who is the quota given to?” he asked.
Wu Yang said: ”Give it to a friend of his, Feng Lin. The subordinates have checked, this Feng Lin has no background, and ranked 17th in the provincial capital in the township examination. The children's examination was taken in Songxian County. I didn't even comment, and somehow got the recommended quota from the Imperial College.”
An county prince sneered: ”It's enough to buy through the county magistrate.”
Wu Yang frowned: ”However, the quota for the Imperial College was handed in first, and then the results of the rural exams. Isn’t that Xiao Liulang confident that he can get the first place in the exam before the results come out, so he bought the county magistrate in advance. I gave my friends the quota that should belong to me? Isn't this too outrageous?”
is indeed outrageous, after all, even King An did not dare to take this dangerous move easily.
If there is another hidden truth, King An doesn’t believe it either.
After all, Xiao Liulang’s background, Wu Yang, was also checked. He was an orphan from a foreign country. He lost his father since childhood. His mother raised him with his brother, but died with his brother. In the end, he was the only one left.
He fainted at the entrance of the village and was rescued by Gu Jiao, and later became a relative. He also registered in the village.
He was appreciated by Dean Li, Dean Li also unilaterally announced that he was his direct disciple.
He has never responded, but it is true that he has made rapid progress after becoming Dean Li’s disciple.
He was only at the bottom of the class. Who could have expected that in less than a year, he was soaring to the sky to be admitted to the provincial capital Jieyuan?
