Chapter 133 Gu Ping Passes the Examination to Become a Scholar
He thought that although Xiaolan was in charge of the servants in the courtyard, she was married.
After all, he was thin-skinned and wouldn't know what to do if he couldn't subdue that servant, so he had no choice but to let him take over all the affairs of the yard and continue to manage them during this period of time.
He exercised his courage and dignity in the yard.
In the future, Xiaolan will still serve him by his side. With him as a backer, people outside will not look down on him or mistreat him.
Then Sun Tao will treat him well, even if Sun Tao will have other men in the future.
"Xiao Lan, get along well with your wife after you get married, and have a few more children. Then you will have a firm foothold in the Sun family. But you still have me. I will support you. If Sun Tao does you wrong, come back and tell me immediately. I will let your wife teach her a lesson."
Xiaolan cried, "Husband, I will be fine, I will stand firm, I will not let anyone bully me, what will you do if you lose face?"
He knew that he must have done good things in his previous life by following Han Yuqing, otherwise how could he have such a good life.
He was a slave, but he had never suffered in the Han family, and even in the Gu family he lived well. Now there is such a good marriage, and he feels happy just thinking about it.
But once she gets married, she will have to focus on her family. Although she will be by Han Yuqing's side, the times will be different after all.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she felt. She lay on Han Yuqing's legs and cried for a long time.
Han Yuqing was also reluctant to leave him. After all, they had depended on each other for so many years, and he couldn't bear to suddenly leave Xiaolan.
In the end, Xiaolan found out that Han Yuqingqi was pregnant and couldn't worry about it for fear of hurting his body.
In the following month, people in the mansion got married, some redeemed themselves, and even Xiaolan got married.
Yue Ji's engagement would naturally come later, after all, Gu Yao still had to find someone for him who would not mind having him be a servant.
Thinking that Yueji was Lin Liulang's maid after all, if he found someone from a poor family, he would probably make a fuss.
Fortunately, Yueji is a nice person and knows what's going on. In the end, he was talking about a shopkeeper of the Gu family.
These wedding banquets were lively and let outsiders know that the Gu family was a good family. Even the servants were willing to host their wedding banquets for life.
After the excitement of the wedding banquets was over, another good news came from Meicheng: Gu Ping passed the imperial examination and even ranked first.
The release of the official report caused a sensation in Shicheng. After all, she passed the examination for a scholar in Meicheng, and the value of her certificate was much higher than that of Shicheng.
Shicheng's literary style is still not well-known, so even a scholar cannot compare with others.
Shicheng does not have enough teachers, although Gu Yao is trying to invite people with achievements from outside to teach. But it is not the right time yet, so Gu Guping, a scholar, is admired by people in Shicheng.
"I said that Miss Gu is worthy of being the daughter of Master Gu. She is equally outstanding. I think she will pass the provincial examination this time."
"Yes, yes, Lord Gu is so kind, and his daughter is so capable. It is an honor for us Shicheng. Now Miss Gu is also from Shicheng. When she goes out, she represents our Shicheng, so we will all be honored by her."
But they were wrong. Gu Ping would not continue to take the exam. After all, her knowledge was still a little poor. So they thought about waiting for another three years.
Three years later, she was exactly sixteen years old, and a sixteen-year-old juren was something people looked up to.
Naturally, everyone in the Gu family was going to celebrate. After all, this was a thirteen-year-old scholar, and the thought of it making people happy.
"My husband is so kind. Our eldest daughter has become a scholar. She is a thirteen-year-old scholar. She is the talk of the town wherever she goes. Moreover, she is your biological daughter."
Ding Miao was happy in her heart, she knew that her husband was a blessed man.
My husband is so capable, and now even my daughter is so capable too. Who wouldn't envy him when he goes out?
My husband already has a son and a daughter. It would be great if he could have a daughter. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have one yet and I don’t know when he will have one.
Lin Wulang sat aside and sighed: "I don't know how Ah Ping is doing now. I know that the imperial examinations are very tiring. My wife almost lost half her life in the imperial examinations. Fortunately, the book boy beside her was also careful."
"The eldest lady will surely be able to have smooth sailing. Maybe she is already planning to take the provincial examination, and by then she will be a juren."
"My wife has already told me that Ah Ping will be back soon. There is no rush for her to take the exam. After all, she is still young. Even if she passes the exam, she will still be too young and His Majesty will not give her an official position. It is better to wait a little longer."
Ding Miao knew that the eldest lady must have her own ideas, and even the eldest daughter did too, so he didn't want to say too much.
He felt it was a bit of a pity. If he had passed the imperial examination, he would have been a juren at the age of thirteen, which would have been really glorious.
"If it's true what the lady said, that even if I pass the exam, I won't get a job, then it's better not to take the exam and wait a little longer. After all, our eldest daughter is already very good, and it's very glorious for a thirteen-year-old scholar to go there."
The whole Gu family celebrated at home. A few days later, Han Yuqing was finally going to give birth. It took a day and a night to give birth to a boy, which also made Gu Yao happy.
Gu's father was a little disappointed. He didn't expect it to be another boy. There were already three or four boys in the family. He only had one girl, which made him unhappy.
"Brother, do you think I should find another servant for A Yao? They are really useless. Most of them are boys. We only have three girls in our family."
He thought about it and felt unwilling. After all, having three was not a guarantee. After all, they had many children in the Gu family and could afford to raise them. Why were there so few girls?
Although all the girls in the family were needed, as a grandfather he really wanted to have more granddaughters.
Xiao Gu also felt that the men in the family were useless and wondered if it was because of the young servant.
"Why don't we get a few more servants for Ayao? Our house is big enough. The men in the family either have children or can't get pregnant. We should get a few more to take good care of Ayao when the time comes."
In young Gu's heart, the Gu family is where he will live in his old age. If there are too few girls and something unexpected happens, he and his son will not have a good time either.
To be on the safe side, it is better to hire a few more servants.
When Gu's father heard that Xiao Gu also supported him, he was very happy and told Lin Wulang the news the next day.
"Just remember this and clean up the other rooms so that the new servant can live there. You should also urge the other men to take good care of A Yao and give birth to more children."
This was the only advice Father Gu could give. After all, Lin Wulang was a good guy, and he didn't want to embarrass him.
Lin Wulang felt sad, and said with a forced smile: "Yes, Dad, I know, I will arrange it later."
Lin Wulang also felt that his pregnancy was unsuccessful. You know, his father had four children, but he only had two, and he couldn't even afford one now.
