Chapter 149 I also want to ask this question

Hearing the word homework, Liu Jin's wrist instinctively felt a little sore, but soon he smiled again, with his old face like a blooming chrysanthemum, and patted Gu Dayong's shoulder affectionately,

"We are joking with you, but you must not let us find a chance. In just ten days, we can make you behave as before, no, even better than before.

Hmm. Let's do the math. The imperial examination is just ten days away. I think Xia Huiyuan is busy entertaining guests and friends at this time, so he probably won't have time to pay attention to you. Even if he does, it doesn't matter. At worst, we will slowly look for opportunities in the future.

"

"Also, Zhang Yong, Qiu Ju, Ma Yongcheng, Wei Bin, Gao Feng"

The names of the eunuchs came out of Liu Jin's mouth one by one. He didn't stop until more than twenty names were spoken. Then Liu Jin pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, everyone in the East Palace can read and write."

My father-in-law, I have more or less helped His Highness copy books and do homework in the past few months.

You have the most leisure time in the whole East Palace, which is enviable. No matter how kind I am, I can teach you a word: when a wall falls, everyone will push it down, and when a drum is broken, thousands of people will beat it. This high wall of yours must be erected more firmly. You have such a big drum.

You need to stretch it more firmly, but don't..."

At this point, Liu Jin stopped at the right time and did not continue. Then he smiled and patted Gu Dayong's shoulder again, and then Shi Shiran walked away.

Gu Dayong stood there, his hand holding the tea cup unconsciously squeezing the porcelain plate, his face uncertain.

The personal name Liu Jin just mentioned echoed in his mind, and it really made him feel uneasy.

How could he not understand the principle of breaking a drum and beating it with thousands of people, and pushing down a wall, let alone all the eunuchs in the East Palace who could write had been given homework by him.

Speaking of which, there is really nothing we can do about it. It’s crazy to leave so much homework, and we often copy it eighty times or a hundred times. This is only a day’s work.

He wanted to leave it all to Liu Jin, but Liu Jin had only grown two hands and not eight claws at all costs. It would be impossible for him to do it in one night even if he was killed.

At most, Liu Jin was assigned twenty or thirty times, and the remaining eunuchs in the East Palace were assigned their own points. Each of them didn't get much, and they were exhausted two or three times.

However, Gu Dayong was the only one who had not allocated it to himself, which was what made him feel faintly uneasy. After all, everything in this world is about not having too much trouble, not too little, but not evenly.

Now that I am in the limelight, those eunuchs dare not say anything. Instead, they are still vying to fawn over them with smiling faces, but if one day...

Looking at the direction Liu Jin was leaving, Gu Dayong's eyes gradually became sinister.

Look, this high wall of ours is more stable than you think. Even if it does collapse one day, it will definitely hit your Eunuch Liu on the head!

——————————————————————

The noise gradually dissipated, and the waves of people who came to announce the good news dispersed happily after getting the good news. The front door of the house was full of messes, with debris from firecrackers everywhere, and the smell of sulfur was still lingering at this time.

Several servants in the mansion were cleaning at the door with brooms.

It costs more money to win the Huiyuan than to win the Jieyuan. The last time I won the Jieyuan, more than 30 taels of happy money were given out, but this time the top spot in the high school meeting cost more than 100 copper coins.

, converted into silver taels, it is more than one hundred taels.

But Xia Yuan was in a good mood.

Although I was given a lot of wedding money, I received a lot of congratulatory gifts. Wave after wave of congratulatory gifts were sent, and the gifts were given quite reservedly. I did not show up in person, but sent servants from my family to come over, put down the gifts and said

He left with a congratulatory message and opened the name card to take a look.

Well, I don’t know anyone above.

There were calligraphy and paintings, porcelain vases, gold and silver jewelry, and silk cloths in the open boxes one after another. Looking around, the entire front hall was dazzling. It was also piled up with boxes of all sizes, and it was almost impossible to find a place to put your foot down.

.

Except for those calligraphy and painting porcelain vases that are not very good at identifying, these gold, silver, jewelry, silk and cloth are worth at least a thousand taels of silver.

No wonder everyone in the world is sharpening their heads and studying hard, and everyone wants to be named on the gold medal list. Once you are named on the gold medal list, fame, wealth, status, power. Everything the world pursues will come one after another.

Xia Yuan felt that he would fall if he continued like this. Zhao Yuerong's little face was full of hesitation. Looking at these dazzling gifts, confusion flashed in his eyes from time to time, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It's like a drowning person splashing in the water and encountering a small boat. Before she can get on the boat, the small boat is running faster and faster and getting bigger and bigger.

The boat was running too fast, and she couldn't keep up. The boat became too big, and she couldn't climb on it even if she wanted to. She could only stare blankly in the water.

She didn't know how to describe this unspeakable emotion. She turned her head several times to look at Xia Yuan, and finally said weakly: "Husband, I'm a little scared."

"Why are you scared again?"

"." Her lips murmured for a while, but she didn't know how to speak. She didn't even know what she was afraid of, so she simply pursed her lips and lowered her head.

"Is it because there are so many gifts that you feel scared?"

"."

Seeing that she was silent, Xia Yuan couldn't help but start to worry again. He had a small chestnut and a small courage, which was completely inconsistent with the flat-chest theory.

As we all know, Xiong Xiaoxiao is very talkative.

Besides, it was the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty. He had seen the current emperor with his own eyes, and the impression given to him was that he was tolerant and kind. Although these gifts were indeed quite large, he was not an official, so what was wrong with accepting some gifts?

At best, it's just a piece of money collected, which has nothing to do with corruption and bribery, let alone a crime.

It's not like Lao Zhu had anything to be afraid of at that time.

But having said that, if he really lived during the Hongwu period of Zhu Yuanzhang, Xia Yuan would definitely be afraid of so many gifts and would never dare to accept them.

Lao Zhu is a bit of a psychopath. He also hates the rich. He hates rich people, let alone rich officials. He kills every one he sees.

As a dignified Jinke Huiyuan and a future quasi-official, he could not afford to take this risk.

A scholar became rich overnight just because he was a high school student. According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament, he would probably cut him into pieces like a roast duck and feed them to the dogs without even bothering to peel off the skin.

Of course, during Taizu's reign, no one would dare to send him gifts.

"Let's expand the picture a little bit. What do these gifts mean? You are no longer the little shepherd's nut you used to be. You are now Mrs. Huiyuan. When we go to the gambling house to exchange the money tomorrow, our family will still be a household worth ten thousand yuan."

"Brother, what about me? My sister-in-law is Mrs. Huiyuan, am I Huiyuan's sister?"

Seeing Xia Shu running in happily, Xia Yuan looked her over and said, "You are a Huiyuan girl now, but I don't know what you will be in the future."

As he said that, he noticed something again. He turned around and saw the two brothers who were looking at him expectantly, "What are you two looking at me for?"

"Brother, I want to be a Huiyuan brother."

".I want, too."

"There is no future. If you want to be a member, go to the network administrator and take the exam yourself. What future do you have as a Huiyuan brother?"

While he was talking, a middle-aged man in his forties stood outside and shouted: "Master, someone is here to congratulate you again outside the house!"

Congratulations mean sending congratulatory gifts. Unfortunately, there is no room for congratulatory gifts in the front hall. This is really a trouble for happiness.

"Steward Wu, please help me organize things and find a few people to move everything in the front hall to the inner courtyard."

With a warning, Xia Yuan stepped out and when he arrived in front of the mansion, he saw Gu Dayong standing at the door.

“Mr.

Gu Dayong had an extremely affectionate smile on his face. As soon as he saw Xia Yuan, he hurriedly greeted him. He was preparing a bunch of auspicious words to offer him, but as he spoke, his voice gradually became quieter until he paused, and then he lowered his head and looked down.

Look, look at your feet again,

"Master Xia, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, I'm looking at the gifts."

"Congratulations? Where is the congratulations?"

".I want to ask this question, too."
