“You’re smart even if you don’t pass the exams.
“Don’t forget, you haven’t touched any books for two or three years. Later, ask your father to find a way to donate an official position for you, and you can still become a county magistrate.”
“What are you thinking about? The general exams just ended with more than two hundred scholars. It’s already enough. Do you think there would be an empty official position?”
Although Mrs. Liu was still somewhat unwilling after hearing this, she did not say anything else.
After Gu Chengen and his brother led the crowd far away, their group immediately rushed forward.
After Mrs. Liu and her son exited the carriage, Gu Chengrui brought the things back home.
Mother Qiu heard the commotion and immediately ran out. She was stunned when she saw Gu Chengrui. “Master, you’re back. I’ll go get the keys now.”
After saying that, she ran back home and quickly took out a key to open the door. “The house has been kept clean for the past two years. You can live in it as you did.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. By the way, isn’t Mistress back yet?”
“She’s pregnant. The journey is too far, so I didn’t let her come back.”
“She’s pregnant? Congratulations!”
“Thank you. You go ahead with your work. Let’s catch up after I’ve tidied up the house.”
“No problem, then this servant will return first.” After Mother Qiu finished speaking, she turned around and went home.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he opened the door of the main house and took a glance. Sure enough, it was spotless inside, just like before they left.
Then, he asked the coachmen to help move the things in. After paying the bill, he dismissed them.
After he was done, Gu Chenglin asked for the location of the toilet, grabbed two toilet papers, and ran away.
Gu Chengrui returned to his room and was about to sit down to rest for a while. “Third Brother, Third Brother, you’re finally back.” Gu Chengxi ran in excitedly. “What are you doing at home?” He asked. “Didn’t you go to school?” “We’re busy planting chili seedlings in the fields and don’t have enough manpower at home, so I took a few days off.”
“Where are the others?”
“Father, Second Uncle, and Big Brother are each on a boat and running around.
“Second Brother went to the capital, so I can only take over.
“But it’s almost over.”
“By the way, where’s sister-in-law? I’ve been wanting to eat her cooking for a long time.” Gu Chengxi asked.
“Do you miss your sister-in-law or her cooking?”
“Hehe, both. To be honest, the dishes at the restaurant are still a little inferior compared to sister-in-law’s cooking.”
“Then you’ll be disappointed. Your sister-in-law is pregnant, and it’s inconvenient for her to travel back and forth, so she didn’t come back. Oh, right, how’s Grandma’s condition?” Gu Chengrui asked him to sit down.
“To be honest, it’s not that good. Right now, she’s only relying on the precious medicinal herbs that you asked someone to bring back.
“Otherwise, I’m afraid that before the new year…”
“It seems that aunt’s death was a huge blow to her.”
“Indeed, after fainting that time, her body has been good and bad at times. By the way, I heard that my cousin has entered the palace as a concubine.” Gu Chengxi asked.
“Yes, Consort Xian, learn well. Try to participate in the next general exams. I’ll bring you to her then.”
Gu Chengxi shook his head. “To be honest, after the shakedown, I’m not interested in an official career. I might as well continue studying medicine to support my family.”
“Have you forgotten how the Qiao family suppressed you in every way? Without power, you can only suffer.”
“I remember that, so I listened to my father and entered the academy.
“It would be best if I could get into the academy, but I don’t plan to be an official after I get in. I want to find a school to teach or continue practicing medicine..”
