Chapter 2156 Granting an Officer
Qiong Lake is a famous large lake in the capital. Now that the lake has just thawed for a few days, it is the season for sailing and making ice lanterns. Many nobles will charter a boat to have fun.
Yu Changbo whispered to Gu Jin'an again: "There are also beautiful songs by beautiful women...Brother Gu, you can't live up to the beautiful scenery at this beautiful time."
Gu Jinan looked at Yu Changbo and felt that he was sick: "Brother Yu, just go and do it. I have been given a marriage, so I won't go to these places."
Yu Changbo frowned and said: "It is precisely because you have been given a marriage that you should go and see it before you get married. You are a farmer's son, and if you marry a noble girl, you will have to live your life in the future. , if you want to see it again, it will be difficult."
Hehe, Gu Jinan smiled: "Serious people are going through life. Brother Yu, go ahead and say goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and got on the carriage and left. He was walking so fast that the wheels almost ran over Yu Changbo, which made Yu Changbo half angry... Damn it, Gu Jinan was just a refugee fleeing the disaster. He started to be arrogant just after high school. His family However, there are also officials from prominent families in the Central Plains and in the court.
But Yu Changbo only dared to hate Gu Jinan, who had a poor family background, and he gave up when facing Zong Zhengyi and others.
Zong Zhengyi came over and said to him: "Brother Yu, the Qionglin Banquet has just ended. Don't go out to have fun tonight, lest the news spreads and the people in the capital think you are dissatisfied with His Majesty's Qionglin Banquet. Going to have fun again.”
This was a great disrespect to the emperor. After hearing this, the Jinshi scholars present all turned pale with fright and hurriedly said: "Brother Zongzheng is right, we are the ones who have become arrogant, so we will go back and rest."
Yu Changbo was also frightened and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Brother Zongzheng, for reminding us that we are not going to Qiong Lake. We will go back and rest now."
Zong Zhengyi nodded, got into his carriage, and went back.
Feng Yu had been paying attention to the situation here. Seeing that everything was okay here, he said goodbye to Huang Youchi and got in the car to go home.
After these noble sons from aristocratic families left, Yu Changbo felt that he had been too cowardly just now, and wanted to regain his face. He said to the Jinshi who had made an appointment before: "Fellow fellows, please rest tonight. We will do it tomorrow." Let’s go to Qiong Lake to take a boat ride later in the evening!”
You're lucky, but go ahead.
The other Jinshi did not respond and said: "Although we have been admitted to the Jinshi, our knowledge is boundless, so we should study quietly."
After saying that, they all said goodbye and left, no longer talking to Yu Changbo. They still hated Yu Changbo in their hearts, feeling that he didn't want to harm Gu Jinan, but wanted to harm them.
What if they followed Yu Changbo to Qiong Lake to have fun when they were just in high school, and when His Majesty found out, none of them were happy and refused to grant them official positions?
Yu Changbo's plan failed, and instead he was isolated by fellow Jinshi scholars. He was very depressed. Later, he spent a lot of money and gave valuable things to those money-hungry Jinshi scholars several times before he brought back a group of so-called friends.
…
Dou Shaodong's family already knew about Emperor Jing Yuan's marriage to Gu Jin'an. They took Qu Xiucai and the others and waited at the intersection of Xianning Street. When they saw the carriage, a group of people excitedly greeted it.
Lu Bai couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Gu, Brother Gu, Your Majesty has granted you and Miss Ouyang a marriage? Where is the imperial decree granting marriage? Let me see!"
It was an imperial edict that ninety percent of the people had never seen in their lives, and he wanted to see it.
Gu Jinan stopped the carriage, raised the curtain, and said with a smile: "Well, the marriage was given at the Qionglin Banquet, and the imperial edict was kept in the box. Let's take a look at it when we get back."
Qu Xiucai was also very excited. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Brother An is right, let's go, don't get stuck here, let's go back and read the imperial edict quickly."
A group of people came out in the cold wind and stood here stupidly for half an hour. After eating a meal in the cold wind, they stumbled back. It was really funny.
However, everyone was very excited and felt that the cold wind was worth it. After returning to the house, a group of people gathered around the marriage decree and looked at it again and again.
"This is the imperial edict. It is indeed made of brocade and soft satin, drawn with gold thread, and surrounded by dragons and clouds. It fully shows the dignity and majesty of the Holy One!" Qu Xiucai said with emotion, and hurriedly called to Qu Wenliang and Xu Zhaoming: "Quick, come with me. Kowtow to the Holy Edict."
The imperial edict represents His Majesty, and they should bow down to avoid it being reported that they are disrespectful of the imperial edict and causing trouble for An Geer.
"Hey." Qu Wenliang and the others immediately knelt down and saluted the imperial edict.
Qu Xiucai asked Gu Jinan to put away the imperial edict again: "This is a family heirloom. It must be kept well and not damaged."
"Hey." Gu Jinan responded with a smile, took the imperial edict back to his room and put it in the box.
Because Gu Jinan was given a marriage, everyone in the Dou family was very excited. Qu Xiucai's uncle and nephew and Xu Zhaoming were so excited that they didn't sleep all night. They got up before dawn and continued reading with dark circles under their eyes. .
And the news that Gu Jinan was granted a marriage by Emperor Jingyuan at the Qionglin Banquet spread throughout the capital in less than a morning. Every household was shocked, and the people in the south of the city where Xianning Street was located went crazy, all carrying congratulatory gifts. I came to Xianning Street to go to Dou's house to congratulate Gu Jinan.
But this time, the people in Xianning Street were surprisingly calm and did not let people from other streets in. Each house also sent a nursing home to stop people, saying: "We know that everyone wants to see Gu Tanhua, but if there are too many people, things can easily happen. , we at Xianning Street can’t afford it, come back, everyone, come back, whatever your wishes are, it will be done!”
No need to come in!
Their Xianning Street is inhabited by wealthy businessmen, petty officials, and prominent families from out of town. It can only be regarded as ordinary in the capital. It is not comparable to the place where aristocratic families, nobles, and royal families live. It was not easy for them to have a prostitute, and he was even granted a marriage by His Majesty. The people in Xianning Street were so proud that they came out to protect Gu Jinan.
With the protection of the families in Xianning Street, Gu Jinan finally had some peace and was not overwhelmed by the influx of congratulators.
However, Gu Jinan's scenery is not just that.
The next day, another imperial edict arrived at Dou's residence. Emperor Jingyuan personally gave him an official position and made him the official secretary of the royal family to write imperial edicts to Emperor Jingyuan.
Everyone in Dou's house was shocked, and Qu Xiucai was so excited that he fainted.
"Uncle, uncle!" Qu Wenliang was anxious and scared. His uncle fainted after reading His Majesty's imperial edict. Is this considered disrespectful to Your Majesty? Will he be beheaded?
Dou Shaodong's family quickly sent someone to take Qu Xiucai back to the house.
Gu Jinan said to the chief eunuch: "My father-in-law is making a joke."
After saying that, he handed the chief eunuch a thick red envelope.
The chief eunuch was very satisfied with this. Although Gu Jinan was a scholar, he was not pedantic and was very good at getting things done. He also made a pointer: "Gu Tanhua, this person in the royal library has always been a position that the noble children of the aristocratic families compete for." , was originally going to give you the second place in the rankings, but His Majesty, thinking of Qin Qianhu’s military exploits, overcame all objections and gave you this position."
The sons of the Duke of Wei conquered the three major states of Dongqing, and the Northeast was unstable. His Majesty was in urgent need of people who knew how to fight. However, Qin Sanlang did a good job in the Northwest. He made a fortune by arranging sick and wounded soldiers, and the Gu family and their relatives, and soon Win the hearts of soldiers.
His Majesty wanted to use Qin Sanlang, but His Majesty could not trust people more and more, so he could only keep Gu Jinan in the capital to contain Qin Sanlang.
Gu Jinan heard it and said: "I understand, I will live up to His Majesty's kindness."
