Gu Shuixiu looked at the excited look of her family, smiled helplessly, and persuaded: "Father and mother, you have to get used to it, now you are Yong Anbo, your status and status are not as good as before, and the days to come will be longer. You can calm down just thinking about it like that.”

"Yes, yes..." The Gu family couldn't help nodding in agreement, looking at Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu, somewhat restrained.

Dong Chenghu had a gentle expression on his face, he even started to do his homework, looked at Gu Donglin and the others, his eyes flashed, "Have these children ever studied?"

Gu Mingde looked at Gu Donglin and the others, the smile in his eyes deepened, and he replied with a smile: "Back to the emperor, these children have been studying since childhood. Well, I haven't had any hardships!"

"Hahaha..." Dong Chenghu laughed a few times, "It doesn't matter if you haven't endured hardship, since you are a scholar, you should know what the purpose of reading is. Nowadays, the country is in shambles, and the court is in urgent need of talents. I don’t worry about using strangers, you all work hard! If you can stand out from the imperial examination, the Gu family will be able to stand in Jiankang in the future.”

Dong Chenghu didn't say it clearly, but Gu's family knew it. The meaning was obvious. As long as these children have the ability to enter the dynasty and become officials, their future careers will definitely be smooth.

Gu Mingde excitedly took his family and knelt down to give thanks, and Gu Donglin was the happiest.

"But what happened, grandfather is so happy?" Dong Qinyan's voice came from outside the hall.

Gu Mingde and the others turned their heads and saw a Pingting girl walking out of the light, with picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful woman in autumn water, dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, walking, like a fairy falling into the world , the Gu family were dumbfounded.

Until Dong Qinyan approached, Gu Mingde, Zhao Shi and others could not fully recover.

Dong Qinyan had already walked to their side, and after saluting Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu, with Dong Chenghu's tacit approval, supported Gu Mingde and Zhao's family, and asked mischievously, "What happened to my grandfather and grandmother? Don't you know Niuniu?"

"Niuniu! It's really Niuniu! I didn't even dare to recognize it!" Zhao said in amazement, as expected, people rely on clothes, Buddhas rely on gold clothes, Dong Qinyan was born well, Putting on this gorgeous palace costume again, the aura of the whole body can really shock people.

Dong Qinyan pursed her lips and snickered, jokingly said, "Grandma, no matter how I change, I'm still your Niuniu!"

When Mr. Zhao heard this, he was so stunned that he couldn't see his eyes with laughter.

Everyone was happy, Gu Shuixiu asked people to prepare meals, and specially reserved them in Mingxiu Palace to eat before asking the palace servants to send them home.

At Mingxiu Palace, without the Gu family, Dong Yuanjie and Dong Yuanzheng immediately reported everything that happened along the way to Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu.

Dong Qinyan listened quietly to the side, and suddenly said: "Father, you said that the imperial examination will be held, but the date is set?"

Dong Chenghu nodded lightly, "It's almost New Year's Eve, and the time is set for the spring of next year. Many scholars will come from all over the world, so the edict will be promulgated at the palace banquet this year, and in June next year. It will also give those people time to hurry. Why is Niuniu suddenly concerned about this imperial examination?"

Not only Dong Chenghu was curious, but Gu Shuixiu and Dong Yuanjie were also puzzled.

Dong Qinyan pondered for a while, then changed her mind, and still explained honestly: "Father, you don't know, before the mother and the queen intended to marry the cousin Huijun of the eldest uncle's family to brother Junchi, but just The aunt has been hesitant, but now that brother Junchi took Nian'er back to Linhai County, the matter was delayed.

In the past, the eldest uncle's family climbed up the Zhang family, but today is different, the grandfather was sealed as Yong Anbo, and the Gu family is no longer a commoner. The marriage is still satisfactory. Now the grandfather and grandmother are the ones who take care of the family. If brother Junchi can participate in the imperial examination and win the ranking, presumably the grandfather and grandmother should be satisfied with the marriage. "

Gu Shuixiu nodded to Dong Chenghu, and said elegantly, "Niuniu is right, I just thought that the two children were on the right side, and because of their temperament, I always wanted to put them together. It's just that Yang Qiong always felt that Zhang's family was in Linhai County, and she had been relying on Huijun's child and couldn't be separated from her, so there was no follow-up on this matter, and when we arrived in Jiankang, it was even more out of reach."

Dong Chenghu's face sank when he heard the words, "Junchi, this child was taught by us, and it is no different from our own son. In the future, the eldest brother-in-law will inherit the position of Yong Anbo, and Yang Qiongruo is still the same. If you can't stand up like this, could it be that you want your brother-in-law to inherit this position?"

Dong Chenghu's words were serious, Gu Shuixiu's face changed, he thought about it for a while, and said, "Well, now there are only Junchi and Nian'er left in the Zhang family, these two The children were brought up by me, so we simply recognized Junchi as our adopted son, and we did not need him to enter the palace to thank him. When the imperial examinations began, let him go to the official career and come to Jiankang with his own efforts. As for him My next marriage decree with Huijun is, is this okay?"

Dong Chenghu's face turned a little darker, and he looked at Gu Shuixiu and sighed softly, "Yizhi, you don't have to leave, I'm here to give you the marriage, as for Yang Qiong, the queen may have to put more effort into it. At that time, she still can't take up the position of Mrs. Yong An, and I have to think about the person who succeeds the throne!"

Seeing this, Dong Qinyan hurriedly made a joke and said with a pouting mouth: "Father, no matter it is the eldest uncle or the little uncle, they are the brothers of the mother and queen. It's all the same. If the big room can't work, then come to the second room, why should you be angry? Besides, my grandfather is still very healthy, and it will not be a problem to live another twenty or thirty years. If the time comes, my aunt is still like this , even if you gave the position to the second uncle, the eldest uncle must have nothing to say, right?"

"You can see through!" Dong Chenghu laughed, teased his daughter, and then went to the imperial study.

As soon as he left, the smile on Gu Shuixiu's face began to gradually subside, her eyes were deep, and she didn't know what to think.

Dong Qinyan hurriedly persuaded: "Empress mother, it's not because of you that the father was angry just now, don't care."

"Of course I know it's not against me, but your aunt is really outrageous. The mother should find some time to beat her." Gu Shuixiu was worried that, If Yang Qiong goes on like this, the title that should be the big house will be gone, what will the children of Donglin think, and how will the big house and the second house get along in the future?
