Chapter 167 Rich in Personality
Chapter 167 Rich personality
Author: Emei Swordsman
"I heard that you went to Xu's house to visit Xu Chengyu, the mountain director of Luxi Academy, just the second day of your arrival in the capital. Since you know you want to visit your teacher, why don't you come to visit our family and relatives?"
Gu Mingxuan stared at Gu Yunji with his eyes fixedly, and the questioning in his eyes was too obvious, as if he was calculating the accounts.
Gu Yunji was so guilty that he asked, and said with awkward smile: "Uncle is the chief examiner of this year's examination. My elder brother and I are the candidates. The reason why we did not come to visit is to avoid suspicion, and we also have letters..."
"What about me? I'm not an examiner in the exam, so there's no need to avoid suspicion, right?" Before he could finish speaking, Gu Mingxuan interrupted, "There are many tribesmen in the capital of the Songjiang Gu family, although most of you don't.
It’s so familiar, but you should know me, right? Since you have come to the capital, don’t you say that you will come over to see my dear cousin?”
When you go out, the first thing is to visit old friends and relatives. Gu Yunji and his brothers naturally understand this principle. However, Gu Mingxuan has been an official for many years, and Gu Yunji and Gu Yunxiao are not very familiar with him. In addition, their family did not accept it before Gu Yunxiao passed the imperial examination.
He attached great importance to it and had very little contact with the Gu family in the Fucheng City. His original body still met Gu Mingxuan once or twice when he was a child, so his relationship was not very close.
The most important thing is that Gu Mingxuan is now the son-in-law of the Prince of Pingyang and lives in the Prince's Mansion with his wife, Yonghe County Lord. Without an elder like Gu Yuanhui as the leader, Gu Yunji and the others really couldn't rashly climb the gate of the Prince's Mansion, so they kept dragging them down.
I didn't go to see Gu Mingxuan, but who knew that he had actually found him.
Although he thought so in his heart, he could not say that on his face. Faced with Gu Mingxuan's questioning, Gu Yunji was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer.
Gu Yunxiao stood up and explained: "When we first arrived in the capital, it was the end of the twelfth lunar month. The Prince of Pingyang was very prestigious among his relatives. During that time, many guests should have visited him. The mansion must be very busy and it is difficult to disturb him well.
My cousin is busy with official duties on weekdays, and it is rare to have free time in the first month. All our cousins in the capital have been arranged, so I thought I wouldn’t cause trouble for you.”
Gu Mingxuan refused to let go when he heard this, but instead sighed and looked sad: "After all, I have neglected you over the years and made you feel grudges, so I am worried about this and that. If I really treat me as my own.
People rushed to the county prince’s mansion directly, how could they care about so many people?”
Gu Yunji's eyebrows were beating wildly when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "What is the saying of Cousin Mingxuan? We are cousins, we are all from the same clan of our family. How could we treat you as an outsider? This time it's me and my elder brother.
If you are negligent, you will be free one another day, so we will come to the door and apologize to our cousin."
Gu Yunxiao was afraid that Gu Mingxuan would be really hurt, so he quickly added: "There is no need to be another day. Why not stay here for a meal today? I'll order a banquet now!"
"That's not necessary."
Gu Mingxuan sniffed, and his sad expression was immediately cleaned. His face became as fast as reading, and his expression instantly returned to calm. He said seriously: "I made an appointment with my wife today to go to the river to enjoy the flowers.
Let's go someday."
He pretended to be in love just now? He almost tricked him into that sad look. His acting skills were really good. Gu Yunji gritted his teeth, and his expression almost didn't hold back.
Gu Mingxuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he had forgotten how sad and true feelings he was just now. He said as if nothing had happened: "There is no need to eat, so I will wait for you to come to visit me before I can talk about it. Today, I am mainly entrusted by my cousin to serve him.
Let’s see you and tell you a few key points of the test.”
It turned out that Gu Mingxuan not only did not take their negligent visits to heart, but even took the initiative to visit them. He just came on behalf of Gu Yuanhui. He felt a little guilty just now and felt that he had let Gu Mingxuan down. In fact, he didn't care at all, but instead
It was him who was self-indulgent.
No matter what, Gu Yuanhui still has to give him face. Gu Yunji suppressed the speechlessness in his heart, barely maintained the kind smile on his face, and looked at him with a gentle look: "Cousin Mingxuan, please speak."
"Cough cough." Gu Mingxuan put down the teacup and cleared his throat. He was about to speak, but looking at the two serious and focused eyes in front of him, he suddenly lost the desire to speak, so he picked up the teacup again:
"Forget it, it's all a cliché, something that's all about answering questions carefully, don't be dirty... I guess your ears are calloused, so I won't waste my mouth. You guys pay more attention to it yourself."
He waited for a while with his ears pricked up, but only waited for this sentence. Gu Yunji almost hanged up in one breath.
It is one thing whether they love to listen or not, but it is another thing whether Gu Mingxuan says or not. How could he come from all over the world just to say "You should pay more attention to yourself"? He doesn't bother.
No wonder Xu Shujing was so bad when he first saw Gu Yunji. He had to change his face among his colleagues who was good at changing faces, spoke annoyingly and had excellent acting skills. He would still be tortured crazy, so he would naturally catch and bite whoever he caught.
As if he noticed that Gu Yunji was talking badly in his heart, Gu Mingxuan glanced at him with a glance and asked casually: "I heard that Yunji's cousin took Jie Yuan exam last year?"
Gu Yunji calmed down and smiled again on his face: "Yes."
"It's really good to be able to pass the Jieyuan exam at the age of seventeen." Gu Mingxuan nodded in appreciation, "If my cousin can win this exam in one go, that's the first genius of the Gu family in a century."
Gu Yunji's smile froze, fearing that his ears would break: "...what, a hundred years...the first genius?"
Gu Mingxuan's expression remained unchanged and explained seriously: "I passed the imperial examination at the age of 17 and passed the imperial examination at the age of 20. I am known as the first genius of the Gu family in a century. My cousin also passed the imperial examination at the age of 17 and is currently ranked second genius.
This time you won the Jinshi, your speed is better than me. You deserve it as the first genius of the Gu family in a century."
Gu Yunji took a deep breath and looked at Gu Mingxuan with a little admiration. How did Gu Mingxuan calmly say such exaggerated and shameful words as "the first genius in a century"? Still speaking so calmly?
The name of genius has always been given by others, and no one will take the initiative to take care of himself. Moreover, although it is rare to pass the Jinshi at the age of 20, it is not rare in the world. Even if it is placed within the Gu family, it can only be regarded as in recent decades.
A better one, not enough to reach the first genius in a century.
It seems that the gap between Gu Mingxuan and Gu Mingan is not as big as Gu Kaili imagined. At least in terms of his face, the two brothers are so thick that they are comparable.
Before Gu Yunji could think of how to reply, he saw Gu Mingxuan looking at the sky outside and suddenly stood up and said, "It's not too late, I should go back and enjoy the flowers with my wife. I wish my two cousins a try at this meeting.
After getting the answer, he turned around and left without waiting for the two of them to react.
Looking at Gu Mingxuan's back as he left, Gu Yunji finally came to his senses after a while and spoke a little hard:...My cousin Mingxuan's temperament is really unexpected..."
