Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 88 Promotion

He does not have the idea that a man's virtue lies in his lack of talent. Even if a man is untalented, he should be allowed to read and write so that he will not be deceived by others in the future.

What's more, Han Yuqing has learned all the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has the temperament of a scholar.

So I thought that if my son could also read and learn characters and skills like him, he would be able to live a good life after he gets married.

Seeing how much Gu Yao valued Gu Ning, Lin Liulang was very happy. He held Yueji's hand and said excitedly, "Yueji, look, my wife still has me in her heart. She doesn't hate me, right?"

He was terrified during this period. His family background was not high to begin with, and he was able to become the second husband only because the Gu family was poor. Therefore, he was particularly scared when Gu Yao ignored him during this period.

He was afraid that Gu Yao would let Han Yuqing surpass him as the second husband, and he would be the third husband. If that happened, his son would have no dignity.

Now his wife is no longer angry with him and will come to accompany him.

Moreover, looking at the way he treats Gu Ning, doesn't it mean that he should also read and write?

Moreover, Lin Wulang had said before that his wife might find a male tutor for the girl, which made me very excited just thinking about it.

He didn't let his son lose his mother's favor because of him. He should still listen to his brother in the future. Don't offend his wife, otherwise his child will not have a good life.

"Of course, husband, from now on we just need to serve the mistress well.

You see, the lady still likes you very much, and our young master will marry into a good family in the future.

He didn't want his husband to act so harshly anymore. What if he acted too harshly and his wife wouldn't even enter their yard?

Lin Liulang's tears fell and he nodded: "You are right, I will listen to you. Let's take good care of Aning from now on."

Lin Liulang knew that Gu Yao was not that cold-hearted and was somewhat fond of him.

Before they came to the capital, Huan had left a good impression on his wife, and sometimes he would serve her for several days.

He is like this now because he has done something wrong. He must serve his wife well in the future and restore their previous relationship.

Father Gu knew everything that happened in Gu Yao's backyard.

But he didn't care. After all, he was not deaf or dumb, and he didn't have to be an old man. He just wanted to live his life well.

What's more, A Yao's doctor will naturally take care of it, so he should not interfere.

However, he was still very kind to his grandson, and asked the servants around him to bring some cloth and snacks to the child.

Let the servants serve the young masters well, and don't think that the masters will be careless in serving the young masters.

Although their family was born as peasants, now that they have become an official family, they have to establish rules to prevent the servants in the house from bullying his granddaughters and grandchildren.

After settling her family affairs, Gu Yao turned her attention to officialdom. Time quickly came to the end of the year, and this time she was promoted.

Now she has become a Doctor of the Five Classics at the rank of Zhengbaping, and she was very happy when the imperial edict came down.

Zheng Shuyi came to see Gu Yao after she got promoted: "Ayao, congratulations on your promotion. You are the first one among us to get promoted. Work hard. Maybe I will need to rely on you in the future. But I have to rely on you now, after all, you are now an eighth-rank official."

Gu Yao had thought that she could be promoted two more levels, but she didn't expect that she could only be promoted to the eighth rank.

But after thinking about it, she didn't have any background after all. Although she had made some achievements by publishing the travel diary, it was just a game after all, and it was not enough to allow her to level up twice.

Besides, it was already good enough for her, a person without any background, to be promoted to the eighth rank. Didn’t she see that many people in the Hanlin Academy cast envious glances at her?

The people who were promoted with her were all senior members of the Hanlin Academy. There were three of them in total, all of whom were promoted to the eighth rank. The others were also promoted one level, but it had nothing to do with her.

"You should also work hard and strive for a promotion. After all, the salary in the Hanlin Academy is relatively low, and one more promotion will increase the salary."

Now her salary has increased to ten taels of silver. Although it is not a big deal in the capital, it can still supplement the family expenses.

It can be said that the salary of the Hanlin Academy is the lowest, but the salaries of other departments are very high, so it is no wonder that many people with connections want to go to the other six ministries instead of the Hanlin Academy.

If the Hanlin Academy could be promoted to the fifth or sixth rank, the salary would be very high. However, for a small official like her with no background, she would have to wait a long time to be promoted to the fourth or fifth rank.

Fortunately, there are some hidden benefits in the Hanlin Academy, and those who want to use their connections or curry favor with you will also give you some gifts.

Some officials from other places would also deal with people in the Hanlin Academy and give them some bribes. This is also an invisible bribe that the academicians would not care about.

She also received bribes, but they were relatively small, only fifty taels of silver in total, but this amount of silver was already very good.

Fifty taels of silver could buy them a nicer house in their hometown county.

Gu Yao didn't take these bribes seriously. She didn't want to accept them at first, but Qian Xiumin was right. If everyone else accepted them but she didn't, others would think she was aloof, and she would not be able to survive in the Hanlin Academy.

There will be no fish in clear water. Don't be so self-righteous. After all, he is just a person without background. If she doesn't accept people from the Hanlin Academy and other departments, he will definitely not be able to stay in the capital.

Fortunately, she didn't charge much, only fifty taels, while others could charge seventy or eighty taels or even several hundred taels.

Although other people also received a lot of bribes, the main reason was that the prices in the capital were too high, so those people still did not have enough money.

When they got home, Gu's mother and others were very excited to hear that Gu Yao had been promoted.

Especially Father Gu, tears fell down: "Ayao, you really got promoted, that's great, I know my daughter is the best."

"I was just promoted today. Now I am a regular doctor of the eighth rank. Although it is still a minor official of the eighth rank, it is already very good. I am the only one in the Hanlin Academy who was promoted among the people who took the imperial examination this time."

Mother Gu rubbed her hands together and smiled: "That's great. As long as you move up slowly, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital."

The three husbands looked at each other. To them, the higher the status of their wives, the higher their status.

When they go out to make friends, they will be respected by others. Although they are of the eighth rank, they are still officials after all.

You have to know that in their circle, there are many wives of people who have no rank. They just work in the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Wulang thought about the last time he went out to visit someone's house. The host asked about Aning.

But he would not agree. After all, his wife was not of any rank, and her family was poor. How could she be worthy of their Aning?

The wife also said that Aning would have a lot of dowry when she got married. If she didn't find a man of equal status, wouldn't Aning have to use his dowry to support their family?

Ever since Gu Yao got promoted, things have been going better and better at home, and Lin Wulang's belly has been getting bigger and bigger. It's almost five months pregnant now.

Gu's mother and the others were happy to see that Lin Wulang's belly was getting better and better, and she hoped that her Gu family would have many children and grandchildren.

Although having three children was much better than others, she still felt it was not enough.

Moreover, wealthy families usually have six, seven, or even more than ten children. Her daughter also has three husbands, so it cannot be less than four or five.

But Gu Yao didn't think it was a big deal. She felt that one or two good children were better than quantity. If the baby turned out to be a prodigal son, it would be better not to have any.

What's more, Gu Ping and other children in her family are all good people.

Gu Yao looked at Gu Ning standing aside and thought that it seemed necessary to speed up the process of finding a male tutor for him.

He is now one year younger than Gu Ping, so Gu Ping is already receiving enlightenment, and he is also slowly receiving enlightenment.

For boys, it is more reliable to find a male tutor.

Gu Yao thought about Qian Xiumin. She thought that since she had stayed in the capital for so many years, she should be very familiar with the teachers there.

Thinking that other people's families also have a male tutor, she thought about it and went to Qian Xiumin's house during her break to ask her about this matter.

Qian Xiumin smiled and said, "You want to find a male tutor? I think the palace maids or palace boys are fine. If you want, the palace will let them out in a while. In this case, you can invite one or two palace maids to live in your house and help you teach your boy."

After hearing this, Gu Yao thought about Momo in the palace and felt that it was indeed good.

They represent education, and there are many etiquette and rules after staying in the palace for so many years.

Even Momo and Gong Nan in the story can read. Although they can't play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, they have read some books.

It is a good idea to let them teach the men in the family, so these kind of men are hard to come by.

"But I am only an eighth-rank official. Would those people be willing to come to my house?"

Qian Xiumin smiled and said, "Of course they are willing. After all, although most of these people will be hired as tutors by officials after leaving the palace, some of them can only return to their ancestral hometowns. Do you think those who return to their ancestral hometowns will really live a good life? The better ones will be raised by their relatives or become concubines for others, but the worse ones will just die of old age. Their ending is not good. That's why I said that if you really want to hire a male tutor, you might as well hire one from the palace."

After hearing what she said, Gu Yao understood and said, "Then I'll trouble Sister Qian. My family will hire two momos. After all, my doctor Lang will also have a baby in the future. If he gives birth to a boy, we can hire one each and there will be no favoritism."

"You're right. It would be more convenient if we have two momos. My family is also planning to hire two. We have two boys, so it would be more convenient if we hire two."

Qian Xiumin was naturally envious of the maid who came out of the palace, and thought that if she also invited her good sister, it would be even better if they both invited her together.

After all, both families were not short of money, and she didn't believe that those sisters were unwilling to come to their families because of money.

Lin Liulang was very happy when he heard Gu Yao say that she would invite two little ones to come home to teach Gu Ning.

He said excitedly: "Thank you, my wife. I knew that my wife had Aning in her heart. I thank you on behalf of Aning."

Lin Liulang didn't dare to speak casually, for fear of making Gu Yao unhappy again, and then she would punish him by not letting him come to his room.

His heart has long been with Gu Yao, so he likes her very much.

He was worried because she couldn't come to his room before, and he couldn't sleep every night, for he was afraid that Gu Yao would no longer like him from now on.

Now, listening to Gu Yao's plan for Gu Ning, he was so excited that he cried.

Seeing him crying, Gu Yao felt a little embarrassed, wondering if the punishment that day was too severe.

Just thinking about his temper, Gu Yao did not regret it. After all, there is no order without rules.

She was just a minor official in the capital and had no support.

Therefore, they dared not make even the slightest mistake. If someone with Lin Liulang's temper was not punished properly, and if he went out and talked nonsense or did some random actions, the Gu family would have long been hated by others.

"When the time comes, please take some time to tidy up Aning's room. By the way, I will also ask Xiaoshu to renovate the yard next to his room. Then he can study in that yard with the two little ones. He is getting older, so we really need to start doing this. By the way, I will find a good teacher to teach him how to play the piano and chess.

Her family is wealthy, so she is willing to pay for some of the expenses in raising the child.

Nowadays, many parents will enroll their children in various classes.

In ancient times, men could not make a career, so they had to cultivate themselves in some art books. I am willing to do that, so that my children will have something to pass the time when they grow up.

Lin Liulang became even more excited that day. He didn't expect that Gu Yao would be so considerate of Gu Ning.

He thought that he must take good care of his wife in the future and not let her down.

Then Lin Liulang leaned in Gu Yao's arms and said softly: "Thank you, my wife. I know that you are doing this for our own good. Don't worry, I will supervise Aning well and will never let him down."

Lin Liulang drew some circles on Gu Yao's body, obviously hinting at her to do something.

I didn’t expect Lin Liulang to be so bold, but Gu Yao thought that he was her husband after all.

Besides, she is not without affection for Lin Liulang. After all, they have been together for so many years.

She rested in Lin Liulang's room that night. After all, he was the father of her son, and she didn't want to neglect him too much.

As long as Lin Liulang knows his mistakes and is willing to correct them, she is still willing to give her some chances.

"It seems that our A Yao still has some feelings for A Tong. It would be good if he doesn't let her down." Father Gu and Mr. Lei, the author of the young Gu family, casually chatted about Lin Liulang.

After hearing this, Gu smiled and said, "No matter what, he is Aning's father. It is impossible for Ayao to do anything to him. Besides, they have been together for so many years, so they still have feelings for each other."

Father Gu smiled and said, "I just hope that Atong can wake up. Our family is not a wealthy one, and we don't want to have a daughter who is full of bad intentions. If he makes trouble again in the future, I will punish him."

It wasn't for Aning, he didn't want to make Gu Yao unhappy. He was unhappy with what Lin Liulang did before, thinking that it was because of his poor background that he had these little thoughts.
