Chapter 2132 Your Identity Is Convenient
May 5th, Dragon Boat Festival.
The third uncle brought Guo Rui and the twins to the Gu family to give gifts, and asked Gu Shouxin if he could send the twins to the Royal Academy.
The brother and sister are only one year younger than Gu Ren and older than Dugu Mingyue, so they should be able to play together.
The main reason is that the third aunt is particularly annoyed with these two children. Their eldest son Guo Rui is extremely obedient. Before Gu En was educated by Gu Shouxin, Guo Rui was the most obedient among the descendants of the Gu family.
Guo Rui is now thirteen years old. He returned to Qingzhou to take the exam last year and is already a young scholar. He is now studying at the Imperial Academy.
The idea of the third aunt and the third uncle is the same as that of the Gu family. It is enough to train Guo Rui. How the children behind will develop depends on their luck.
Therefore, the twins are very noisy at home.
At their age, they were not suitable for the Gu family's nursery, otherwise they would have been sent here long ago. The couple discussed it and decided to send them directly to the Royal Academy. They would go to the Royal Academy for a few years. If they could study, they would continue to study. If they couldn't study, they would learn something else. They would not starve to death in the future. Anyway, the Royal Academy was managed by Gu Shouxin, and the couple were not afraid that the children would be crooked.
What else could Gu Shouxin do? He had to agree. Anyway, he would manage one or two. He didn't believe that this pair of twin nieces could be more naughty than Gu Ren and Xiao Mingyue?
…
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather became hot.
That day, Gu Xin woke up from her nap at noon and was eating an ice bowl when she heard the maid come to report that someone from the government office had come.
She put down the ice bowl and hurried out.
The one who came was He Gang, who was around Lord Qin.
"I meet the third lady." He Gang saluted with his fists.
"Is there a case?" Gu Xin waved her hand and asked him to speak directly.
"Well. A case happened in Taizhou. It has been five days since the incident. The Taizhou prefect had no clue, so he reported it to the Ministry of Justice. After the Ministry of Justice reported it, the emperor asked Lord Qin to go there. Lord Qin asked me to ask the third lady to go back to the yamen." He Gang briefly explained the reason.
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Xin took He Gang out directly.
When they arrived at the Dali Temple, Zheng Qiu had already packed up his things in Lord Qin's office.
"This subordinate greets Her Royal Highness the Princess." Lord Qin stood up and saluted.
Gu Xin's rank is very high. She is a first-rank princess who protects the country. Most of the princesses in the whole Great Zhou are lower than her.
"Your Excellency, there is no need to be polite. Let's talk about the case!" Gu Xin turned aside and did not accept his greeting. He said, "For the Taizhou case, your Excellency is going to take me with you, right?"
Lord Qin looked at Gu Xin with a sharp look in his eyes, shook his head, and said, "No, this subordinate is not taking the princess with him, but I want to ask the princess to be in charge of this case."
Gu Xin was stunned.
This is not in the capital. If she has a case that she has not handled, she can ask the Dali Temple or the Ministry of Justice for advice. This is in the prefecture. Let her make the decision. Aren't you afraid that she will make mistakes?
Lord Qin said: "The princess handled the previous two cases very well. And this case, the princess's identity is more convenient. I believe that the princess can solve this case with her ability."
Gu Xin: "... Lord Qin, you say that, I dare not accept it! Tell me about the case first, let me see how my identity is convenient."
Lord Qin said: "The deceased in this case is King Donglin. King Donglin is the only king of a different surname in the Great Zhou. It is a hereditary title conferred by the previous emperor. He once held a large army and guarded Yunzhou. After Yunzhou was stabilized, he took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman."
