Chapter 663



663 please don’t

The Academy exam was on the 18th of August, and there were a total of nine days. If they passed this exam, they would have the title of a scholar, and they wouldn’t even need to kneel in front of an official.

As soon as August arrived, the children took the initiative to ask Gu shouxin to arrange a month’s task for them to be examined at the end of the month.

It was fine for his sisters, but Gu en needed someone to watch over him.

Gu shouxin originally thought that watching a child’s homework would not affect him at all, but who knew that Grandpa Gu was so serious that he called Lu Zheng over and asked him to take a look at Gu en’s homework this month.

Although Lu Zheng had never participated in the Imperial examinations, he could still understand the homework of Gu en’s level and could explain it to her.

Gu en asked, ” brother ah Yuan, if you’re so good, why don’t you take the scholarly examination? ” Sister Xinxin said that you want to go to the battlefield to protect the country, but that’s so dangerous. Being a civil official and working for the people is another kind of protection.

Lu Zheng then told Gu en about the civil servants and generals.

His experience was different from Gu shouxin’s, so what he told Gu en was naturally different. However, Gu en’s thoughts would not be confused because the two of them had one thing in common, which was that they were very decisive in their work. They would not leave any leeway for people they did not care about.

Just like that, the eldest grandson of the Gu family was taught by these two people from a young age how to survive in the officialdom.

Gu Ren had nothing to do and listened to Lu Zheng telling Gu en about things. He was extremely glad that he was not the first boy in the Gu family. He did not want to shoulder so many responsibilities.

He had to cheer for en Zi. If en Zi was awesome, things would be much smoother for him in the future.

……

On the 3rd of August, Gu Nian received li Muyan’s reply.

The letter was not brought back by the Li family’s manservant, but by third lady Meng.

In the letter, li Muyan said that other than the decorations in the store, everything was ready. He would send someone to bring the sample over for Gu Nian to look at tomorrow.

He told third lady Meng to close the cold drink shop, calculated the accounts and attached them to the letter.

He then designed the interior of the store and asked Gu Nian to make any changes that she wanted to. She could then hand it over to the servant who would bring the goods over tomorrow.

Li Muyan also talked about what he had been doing recently, and he was full of nonsense.

Gu Nian read through it patiently as she was afraid of missing out on important news.

After reading it, she was speechless. This li Muyan must be a Chatterbox. He could even write so much.

Gu Xin observed Gu Nian’s expression from the side. After she finished reading the letter, she smiled and said, ” “Sister, what did brother mu Yan say to make you so helpless again? What’s with that expression?”

you little girl, ” Gu Nian said as she glanced at Gu Xin, ” you’re quite a gossiper!

gu xin smiled cheekily, ” i’m just concerned about my sister! I’m afraid that brother Muyan doesn’t know how to speak and will make sister angry! that’s why i’m concerned.”

“It’s not that he doesn’t know how to talk, but he talks too much. Xinxin, I’m telling you, in the future, don’t become a Chatterbox. You’re too Chatterbox, my head hurts!”

Gu Xin,’sister, it’s good to be a Chatterbox! Chatting will make you happy! he’s not talking all the time.”

little Xinxin, ” Gu Nian said, ” tell me honestly. Are you trying to match us together? ”

Gu Nian was shocked when she heard the question.

Oh my God, could she resist the love line of the little koi fish?

please don’t!

Gu Xin shook her head,’I’m not trying to matchmake you! I just think that brother Muyan is not bad. Of course, I hope that sister will be with the brother-in-law that she likes! Her uncle had said that it didn’t matter how outsiders looked at this matter. Only she knew if her shoes fit. Even if the shoes were stinky, it was fine as long as they were comfortable to wear! No matter how good the shoes look to others, no matter how fragrant they smell, we can’t wrong ourselves because of other people’s opinions! So, sister, I won’t control your thoughts.”
