Meet Gu Changle’s parents?
Old Man Gu paused slightly, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "The old man knows that you are a good and filial boy."
"But Changle's parents passed away and were buried quite far away."
"When you have the opportunity, let Changle take you to pay homage to them."
"You don't have to think too much now, just settle down and live a good life for the two of you."
In ancient times, it was difficult for ordinary people to travel far away.
One is that the traffic is too slow and there are too many unknown things that will happen on the road.
Another very important reason is the road guide.
Ordinary people want to leave their hometown to go elsewhere, but those with academic status or above can directly pass through customs with their identity documents.
And those who have no fame need something called a road guide.
People without road guides are not allowed to pass the customs.
This road guide needs to be issued by the local government.
Unless you are a businessman, you usually don't get such a good deal.
So, did Gu Changle's parents go away on business before and had an accident?
In ancient times, it was too difficult to transport coffins, and it was not easy to return fallen leaves to their roots.
So it can only be buried elsewhere.
Su Yu sighed softly in his heart.
He had thought that this was the case before, so he never had the nerve to ask.
Now that Old Man Gu said it, he regretted his recklessness.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry..."
Old Man Gu smiled lovingly: "It's okay."
"Grandpa has looked away a long time since he was old."
"Now I just hope you two are safe."
"With you protecting Changle, grandpa will be able to rest assured a hundred years from now."
Su Yu said seriously: "Grandpa, what you said is wrong."
"I may not be reliable."
Old Man Gu said "Huh?", his face full of confusion.
What's the meaning?
Did he hear wrongly?
What Su Yu just said was human language?
Why doesn't he seem to understand?
"So grandpa must live a long and healthy life and always look after us."
Old Man Gu was stunned for a moment, and then said in a funny tone: "You are a young boy, and you are still talking to the old man."
Su Yu also smiled and said, "In short, grandpa, you have to keep watching us from the side, so that you can personally see whether we are safe or not."
Old Man Gu laughed loudly: "Okay, as long as you don't bother me anymore, old man."
Old Man Gu was amused by Su Yu and beamed with joy. The sadness that had just arisen was diluted before he had time to taste it.
He will definitely protect such a good grandson-in-law.
Just like what I told Mr. Zhao last time, he will satisfy whatever you want!
but……
Old Man Gu suddenly thought of something.
Su Yu stood up and said, "I'm going to study at the Fu School in a few days, so I have to go back to the study to warm up my books first."
"In case the Master asks you questions then I won't be able to answer them."
Old Man Gu was only thinking about his own affairs and waved his hand directly: "Go ahead, business is more important."
...
Gu Changle took Hongying out for shopping.
When the two came back, they saw Old Man Gu sitting in front of his coffee table with some worry.
When I got tired of thinking, I picked up my own little teapot and filled it up in one gulp.
I swallowed it with a gulp and clicked my tongue, wondering if it tasted like anything.
"Why does Grandpa look like he's worried?"
Gu Changle spoke out, and Old Man Gu looked over.
He waved and asked Gu Changle to sit next to him.
Hongying gave him a slight salute, then took the things and went to the kitchen at the back.
"Changle..."
Old Man Gu hesitated: "Autumn is next year, less than a year away. How sure is your husband?"
It's so good, why are you asking about Qiu Wei?
Gu Changle thought for a while before replying: "You should be pretty sure, right?"
"After all, everyone says that if you come first in the college examination, there will be no problem in the basic provincial examination."
Old Man Gu grinned: "Then..."
"Then your husband is number one..."
Didn't Zhang Xuezheng open the back door and be sent to that position?
This is not an unheard-of thing like first place in the college examination and then finding out that he failed in the provincial examination.
But no matter what, the candidates themselves will suffer a lot.
"Why don't we wait until next year to see which examiner the emperor appoints to come to our place to invigilate the exam, and I ask you, Grandpa Zhao, to do it as a favor?"
Gu Changle said in astonishment: "But that's the provincial examination..."
The hospital tried to go through the back door, it was really not a big problem.
Even if the court finds out, the most they can do is turn a blind eye.
But the importance the imperial court attached to the provincial examination was not comparable to ordinary things.
Hastily intervening in this regard may push their Gu family to the forefront.
Gu Changle never imagined that her grandfather would really have such thoughts because of her husband.
"Didn't you say before that it would be enough for my husband to pass the hospital examination?"
"The following matters should be left to the husband to consider by himself?"
This was indeed the thought before.
But Old Man Gu didn't expect that his grandson-in-law would be so in line with his wishes.
He wouldn't be happy to see such a brilliant person get hit because he failed the exam.
Old Man Gu was a little reluctant, like a brainless parent who doted on his children.
"Your Grandpa Zhao has nothing to do all day long, wouldn't it be a good idea to find something for him to do?"
Gu Changle said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhao, with his status, will not help you do such a thing."
"And even if Qiu Wei fails, my husband will not be hit by such a thing."
"Grandpa, you'd better relax."
Old Man Gu also knew that he was impatient.
He coughed slightly embarrassedly.
In fact, he doesn't necessarily need Old Man Zhao to help him. Just because of his status, he can be a bit mean-spirited everywhere.
It's just that those literati all pride themselves on their integrity and are the most difficult to deal with.
That's why this matter is a bit difficult.
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean he can't do it.
It's just that he is so old and has been calm all his life, but today he suddenly became irritable.
He was probably also affected by the conversation he had with Su Yu just now.
"I'm impatient."
He returned to his smiling face and poured Gu Changle a cup of tea.
Gu Changle only had one drink and then went to the study to find Su Yu.
She stood up and spoke to Old Man Gu, then disappeared into the main room.
Old Man Gu muttered: "I can't even sit with Grandpa for a while longer."
"I just came back and said a few words, and I'm going to find her husband."
Little did he think that he had just been thinking about arranging the exam for Su Yu.
Not long after Gu Changle left, there was a sudden knock on the door of his home.
The young couple are in the back, and Hongying is in the kitchen.
Fu Bo wasn't around either.
Old Man Gu could only condescend to get up and open the door.
outside the door.
A rather careless young man appeared outside the door with his servants.
The person who came was none other than Wang Yuanfeng.
His father said that the government school was about to collapse, and most of the students who went home to worship their ancestors were back.
Ask Wang Yuanfeng to invite his classmate who is the head of the case and other classmates who have passed the hospital examination to come home to have a gathering.
Wang Yuanfeng thought of Su Yu's repeated rejection of his invitation and felt very reluctant.
But he couldn't defeat his father, so he could only bring people to invite him.
When he knocked on the door, Su Yu would inevitably reject him again.
Wang Yuanfeng decided to strike first.
With his head raised high, the old man who opened the door said arrogantly: "Old man, is this where Su Yu lives?"
"I have something to do with him."
