Chapter 422: Lower education

Gu Jiu spent one hundred thousand taels of silver in one go.
The feeling of spending money is really cool.
No wonder people all like to buy and buy.
Master Gu is still shocked that my daughter is the big boss. I didn't even know that it was so irritating.
He, he needs to be quiet.
"Father, are you okay?"
Master Gu's whole person is not good.
Can he be okay?
How could he be okay!
He is very busy, okay?
He asked again: "You really did the Nanchengmen Outer Project?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
"You buy so much food for the refugees?"
Gu Jiu nodded affirmatively again.
"Is there any money to make? One hundred thousand taels of silver, I ate it all."
"When the wool comes out of the sheep, it will naturally earn it back."
When is her bazaar a display?
Or when her house is a decoration?
The houses sold to the refugees are indeed cheap, so low that there is not much profit. Profits are shared by infrastructure construction.
The second, third, and fourth phases of the project are the real profitable projects.
The price of a small house with the smallest area of ​​the second phase cannot be less than one hundred taels. If it is less than one hundred taels, she wrote Gu Jiu's name backwards.
Of course, what kind of price must have the same level of matching.
The second phase is definitely higher grade than the first phase.
If you are willing to pay, there is also a small garden, dear!
Master Gu looked complicated and entangled. Why didn't the officer know this girl from her family? Could it be the silly feeling of being dropped?
He really needs to be quiet.
"You, one day you are free, go back to your natal house. We father and daughter, have a good drink."
Master Gu needs time to digest, and then have an in-depth conversation with Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu blinked, "It may be three or four months before the child is born."
Master Gu looked at Gu Jiu's bulging abdomen, "Since you are about to give birth, don't run out all day, beware of accidents."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Thank you father for your concern. Should I send my father out?"
Master Gu acquiesced.
When he returned to his office, he recovered.
This is the Ministry of Households, his site, how did Gu Jiu send him?
Hey, Gu Jiu had a good time playing against the guest.
She didn't forget to nag with the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, "My father was a little irritated, and the adults laughed."
Hubu Shangshu laughed, "It's okay. Master Gu is still very practical."
After Gu Jiu pondered these words, it is estimated that Master Gu will have the advantage of being practical.
Master Gu did not have a heart of seven orifices, nor a keen sense of politics, superb skills, or even powerful in-laws. To be able to go to this day, it is really out of luck.
It is very likely that Master Gu's career in this life will end in the position of Minister of Household Affairs.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I'm tired of you."
Hubu Shangshu stroked his beard and laughed.
Master Gu is a great mallet sometimes. The daughter born has a seven-orifice exquisite heart, and her sons now look pretty good.
Gu's other skills are not good, the ability to have children is still possible.
After finishing his business, Gu Jiu left.
When she walked out of the yamen of the Ministry of Households, Gu Yu Gu Si Ge ran out and stopped her.
"Sister Xiao Jiu, are things resolved?"
Gu Yu has an eighth rank official in the household department to share the worries for Gu Yu.
Gu Jiu laughed, "Gu Si Ge, don't worry, I can come to the Household Department to buy food, and the problem has naturally been resolved."
"That's good, that's good. Some time ago, I was ashamed that I couldn't help with the Zhu family."
"Brother Gu, don't say that. The Zhu family's affairs are too special and sensitive, and I didn't even let him come forward. Fortunately, everything was resolved smoothly."
Gu Yu laughed, "When you have time, go back to the mansion and have a look."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Okay! I'll go back and have a look when I have time."
After hesitating for a while, she asked again: "Has Brother Gu considered his future?"
Gu Yu didn't understand why Gu Jiu asked this question.
"Is Brother Gu planning to do errands with his father in his life?"
Gu Yu gave a wry smile. He didn't want to be alone, "Sister Xiao Jiu, I'm just a man."
Moreover, his fame as a man is also mixed with water.
It's not that he has never thought of relying on Gu's family relationship to release the magistrate outside, and be alone.
Relying on the relationship of the Hou Mansion, the upper-class counties and the middle-class counties cannot work, but the lower-class counties can still operate.
The reason why he was still working in the household department was that Mr. Gu was used to him and refused to let him go.
Second, he has no money.
Even if the Hou Mansion is the backer, running an official position for him, it will cost money.
It wasn't that the official department obediently handled it as soon as the Hou Mansion spoke. The staff was not opened by the Hou Mansion.
The Hou Mansion could lend him money, but he didn't want to.
He is not good at reading, he is not a talented player anyway.
He is better at doing practical things.
He thought carefully that with his abilities, being a local parent official is still in the dark.
So he wants to get more experience, save some more money, and look for opportunities.
After listening to his thoughts, Gu Jiu couldn't help frowning.
"Brother Gu, you have to be an official as early as possible."
At other people's age, you have already begun to use your merits, and you are still running around the house to do chores, and you are abruptly thrown out of dozens of streets. How to catch up behind.
Gu Yu is not young anymore, a man in his thirties. If you get married early, you will soon be a grandfather.
Gu Yu laughed, "Thirty young scholars, fifty old Mingjing. I am a good age."
Gu Jiu shook his head again and again, "Gu Sige, your starting point is different from others. Others have 30 advanced scholars and start at the Hanlin Academy. Three years later, they will either be placed outside the local area or the ministry will be experienced. The strategy for brushing merit is readily available. If so. Good family background, backing, promotion speed is the same as flying.
Just like my father-in-law, backed by the Hou Mansion, he took the position of the household assistant after ten years of hard work less than others. Although it is very likely that this life will always be in the position of the minister of household.
You are a Juren, you cannot follow the path of a Jinshi. If you don't seize the time to catch up now, if you wait a few years, you really won't be able to catch up in your life. "
Gu Yu laughed at himself, "Juren couldn't catch up with Jinshi. If it weren't for my surname, I wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter the household department."
"That's how it is said, but there are always exceptions in the world. I will ask one question, if there is a chance, would Brother Gu be willing to leave his father and be alone outside?"
Gu Jiu's expression was solemn, obviously not asking casually.
Gu Yu also put away his careless attitude, frowning and thinking deeply.
"Sister Xiao Jiu, can I ask what kind of opportunity it is?"
"No! You just need to tell me whether you want to leave your father and not be sent by him."
"Naturally I am willing!" He dreams of being an official.
However, because of insufficient qualifications, he was born in Juren, so he was naturally lower than others.
Even if he is backed by the Hou Mansion, as a Juren, it is extremely difficult for him to get a good opportunity.
Gu Jiu smiled sincerely when he heard the words, with eyebrows bowed, "Gu Si Ge must remember today's words. When the opportunity comes, I hope you can seize it tightly, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation."
Gu Yu always felt that what Gu Jiu said was meaningful, but couldn't guess it.
Gu Jiu refused to disclose more inside information to him, only asking him to stick to his heart.
"Brother Gu, take a good job as a errand, I will go back first."
"I will send you out."
"No, my carriage is outside the door."
Gu Yu watched Gu Jiu get into the carriage, looking dazed.
He will really have a good opportunity. Will there really be such a day?
If it is true, he will definitely seize the opportunity firmly.
After getting on the carriage, Qingmei asked curiously, "Is the lady going to give Master Gu Yu a chance?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "He is very practical and capable." Even if his academic qualifications are lower, "He is also more sleek in terms of his conduct. If he can't be a senior official in the ministry, he can still be a parent official of a county."
For example, the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city can no longer be controlled by Gu Jiu after they settle in the capital. The court did not allow it either.
The people of the court naturally have to be in charge of the court.
It is very likely that the emperor will be a county outside of Nanchengmen.
The foundation of Gu Jiulian County Office has been reserved.
Once a county is established on the piece of land outside the Nancheng Gate, she will find a way to arrange Gu Yu as the county magistrate.
The second phase of her project has just begun. In the next few years, the focus of business will be outside the Nancheng Gate.
She will never allow a person who doesn't deal with her, a person who is not pleasing to her eyes, a person who is uncertain, sitting in the county office.
If there is no county, once a county is established, the county government must be in her hands from top to bottom. She doesn't allow anyone to trip her up.
The reason why I didn't tell Gu Yu was because I was afraid of leaks and being cut off.
Official Ministry, the first of the six.
Gu Jiu couldn't find a place to start.
Because no matter it's the Gu family, the royal mansion, or Liu Zhao, or other relatives, they don't have much contact with officials.
But to appoint Gu Yu as the county magistrate, the staff cannot be bypassed.
Regarding the appointment of civil servants, even the emperor must ask the staff for their opinions.
Gu Yu suffered a disadvantage because his academic qualifications were too low.
If she doesn't interfere, Gu Yu can't compete 100% with people with a Jinshi diploma.
In fact, before this, Gu Jiu also considered Su Zheng.
However, Su Zheng was okay in his studies. He hadn't done anything practical, and he couldn't control the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city.
If Su Zheng is the county magistrate and Gu Yu assists, can it work?
Gu Jiu shook his head, still not working.
Su Zheng is not qualified for the same problem. There is a diploma but no experience, so it won’t work.
"What is the madam worried about?" Qingmei asked in a low voice.
Gu Jiu smiled bitterly, "If Cousin Su was admitted to Jinshi three years earlier, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
So Gu Yu is the most suitable.
It is not easy to help Gu Yu up.
Gu Jiu felt tired after running the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households.
She leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes to rest.
The horse-drawn carriage swayed through the square market.
"Hey, that's Xie Shi." Qingmei whispered.
Gu Jiu opened his eyes and looked outside through the car window.
It really is Xie Shi.
Xie Shi walked into the cloth house with a woman.
Women dressed as women, you know they are young by looking at their figure.
She was a little curious, "Is Xie Shi married?"
Qiaomei nodded, "I was married in the first half of the year, and that is Xie Shi's lady. The two look very good."
Gu Jiu pursed her lips, "Xie Shi got married, did you invite his wife?"
The wife in Gu Jiu's mouth refers to Xie's.
This year she was pregnant again, and she was busy with the project outside the Nancheng Gate, so she didn't have time to pay attention to other trivial matters.
And since the New Year, she has never returned to Gu's house.
Qingmei knows the situation at Gu's house.
Qingmei said: "I invited my wife, and the wife took the four girls to the banquet."
"Gu Yue didn't go, right?"
"When Xie Shi got married, Grandma Sangu was in confinement."
When Gu Yue was in confinement, Gu Jiu remembered.
In the first half of the year, there was such a thing, and I heard Qiaomei mentioned a few words.
She was too busy to care, and forgot about it in a blink of an eye.
Xie Shi felt that someone was looking at him. He turned his head abruptly and recognized Gu Jiu in the carriage.
He hesitated for a while, said to the lady, then walked out of the cloth house and walked straight to the carriage.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows.
Xie Shi's move was unexpected.
She thought Xie Shi would assume that she hadn't seen her.
Xie Shi came to the carriage and greeted him first, "It really is the second cousin, looking at the carriage, she is familiar."
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Why didn't Xie Shiwei work in the palace today?"
"Take a holiday today."
Oh!
Gu Jiu looked at the little woman standing at the door of the cloth house, "That's your lady? Why don't you introduce it?"
Xie Shi didn't look back, "In an informal occasion today, I will introduce it to my cousin next time."
"Don't call my cousin, we are really unfamiliar." Gu Jiu looked at him with a smile.
Xie Shi didn't care, but she changed her words, "After the third cousin gave birth, the wife hasn't visited her yet."
The third cousin is Gu Yue.
Gu Jiu smiled, and said, "I'm busy and I've been vacant. But Shiwei Xie seems to care about the third sister."
"They are all in the palace, and they are relatives. Naturally, I have to care about her situation."
"Oh!"
Gu Jiu stared at him meaningfully, and suddenly asked, "How is Gu Yue?"
"Not so good!" Xie Shi was very honest.
Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Didn't she give birth to a son? How could it be bad?"
"The King of Chu has no shortage of sons. This year alone, the palace has added three young sons. Moreover, there are already two sons under the princess's knees, and the princess has been diagnosed as pregnant some time ago."
Xie Shi gave a quick glance.
Gu Jiu smiled, "You really care about Gu Yue, you really are a dear cousin."
She bit the word "pro", it sounded ordinary, and after careful consideration, it made people feel that there was something in the words.
Xie Shi's head jumped, his expression still rigid, "In terms of relationship, my wife and I are also cousins."
Gu Jiu looked at the other party, "Xie Shiwei deliberately talked to me, is it just for me to visit Gu Yue?"
"I'm just in charge of spreading the message. The third cousin wants to see you very much."
"Then tell her, I'm not free."
"Madam can also post to her, and she can also go to Ning Palace."
Gu Jiu shook his head, "No time. Xie Wei has fulfilled his duty to spread the word, you can leave and go back to accompany your lady. If you continue to open your eyes for Gu Yue, I really have to think about it, you and your cousins, Gu Yue How close are you?"
Xie Shi frowned. "Madam, please don't speculate."
"If you don't do unnecessary things, I will naturally not speculate randomly. Your lady seems to be impatient."
Xie Shi finally turned around and glanced at his wife.
Gu Jiu took advantage of the mechanism to get on the window and knocked on the wall of the car.
The coachman waved his whip, drove the horse, and walked forward slowly.
Xie Shi frowned and watched the carriage leave.
His wife came to the front, "Husband, what's in the carriage is..."
"Mrs. Zhao!"
"Ah!" His lady was shocked, covering her mouth, she couldn't believe it, "She is Madam Zhao, like a thunder. Why didn't Madam Zhao attend the banquet of Gu Mansion?"
So that she still doesn't know each other.
Xie Wu said with a face, "Identity is different, and ordinary banquets will naturally not attend."
His lady looked pity. I really want to meet Madam Zhao.
Xie Shi accompanied his wife to buy cloth and jewelry, and returned to Xie's house with a fruitful harvest.
Since Xie’s big room was separated from the second room, Xie’s house was divided into two, separated by a courtyard wall in the middle.
When the young couple returned home, Mrs. Xie was scolding Sang Huai and the second room next door.
Mrs. Xie is also a great person.
The two concubines, following the courtyard wall with one person high, you come and go, scolding happily.
When Xie Shi saw it, he couldn't help frowning, very upset.
His wife, the Miao family, is still a young wife who has just been in the door for a few months, and has not cultivated the ability to curse the street. Looking at this scene, I feel so embarrassed, but at the same time I feel nervous and afraid.
It's really tiring to be with such a mother-in-law.
While the mother-in-law didn't notice her, she hurried back to the bedroom on the excuse of being tired.
Xie Shi was also very tired, and talked to the housekeeper, and set off to work as an errand back to the palace.
When he returned to the palace and learned that Gu Yue was in the garden, he went to the garden.
"Cousin!" Gu Yue looked surprised.
"Call Xie Shiwei." Xie Shi was stern and serious.
Gu Yue looked hurt and sad, "Is there anything wrong with Xie Wei?"
"On the street today, I saw Madam Zhao and told her about your situation."
"What did she say?" Gu Yue was very nervous with her handkerchief in her hand, her small face jumping tightly.
Xie Shi shook his head, "She is not free."
"what?"
Gu Yue took two steps back subconsciously and almost fell.
Xie Shi sighed secretly, "You are too conflicted with her, she is not willing to help you."
Gu Yue bit her lip, heartbroken, "After all, she is a sister, does she really miss sisterhood?"
