After talking about Wen Hansi, Gu Yu thought of the injured candidates and said, "Your Majesty, I am bold and want to ask for your favor."
This was the first time Gu Yu asked for something. The Holy Master asked directly: "What kind of grace?"
Gu Yudao: "There was a fire in the Gongyuan, and three people were seriously burned. They were innocent and their career was cut off. I would like to ask the Holy One to show mercy and reward them."
This was an important move to show the Holy One's love for the poor family. The Holy One said: "You are thoughtful and classify the three of them, together with the unconscious man, as Jinshi. Although they cannot become officials, they can still be regarded as honorable ancestors."
If nothing happens to those three people, they may pass the exam openly and enter official careers, but they may not pass the exam at all.
Nowadays, if a person is born as a Jinshi, he can exchange for an entire clan to be exempted from taxes and corvee, get rid of the farming family, and join the gentry.
Although they could not join the officialdom, it was the best result that Gu Yu could obtain for them.
Gu Yudao: "Your Majesty is kind!"
The Holy Master smiled and nodded, and couldn't be more satisfied with Gu Yu.
Having such a person by his side to advise him really made him worry a lot.
The Holy Sage said: "You have worked hard these days. Go back and rest early."
After saying that, the Holy Father coughed a few more times.
Gu Yu said: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I will retire first."
Gu Yu rushed home from the palace and washed her body from top to bottom.
As soon as she dried her hair and went out, Li Ruo and Sun Caiwei came to her door carrying meals.
Gu Yu was also very hungry and said: "Put them all down, I will eat them."
Then Li Ruo came over affectionately and helped set the meal. Gu Yu said to Sun Caiwei, "You go back first."
Sun Caiwei could not hide the disappointment on her face, but she still said: "Yes, husband."
On the way back, Sun Caiwei's maid Liu Ying complained: "Why did Madam Side just let that vixen stay there!"
Sun Caiwei said in a low voice: "She doesn't welcome me."
Of course she was referring to Gu Yu.
Liuying was extremely anxious and said: "Mrs. Side, after the results of the imperial examination are released, the young master's wife will come in. I heard that my cousin is as beautiful as a fairy. You have to think of a way to protect the young master before entering."
I have left a place in my heart. If you continue like this, even if you are granted marriage by the Holy Spirit, you will not be able to withstand this long-term neglect. The same goes for my young master. It is obvious that you are a side wife from a serious family, but she just can't dote on one.
The concubine’s room on the countertop.”
Sun Caiwei's eyes were a little hollow, and she said bluntly: "Liu Ying, I suddenly don't know what I want."
Before marrying Gu Yu, she thought that it was enough for her to seek peace by Gu Yu's side.
Gu Yu is a good person and helped her get rid of the troubles in the Sun Mansion.
Now she seeks to be pure and pure. She should be content, but she feels infinite emptiness in her heart.
Liuying said: "What don't you know about this? Of course you want the young master! Otherwise, why did you marry me when the young master's life and death were unknown! I want you to tell me, you might as well listen to the madam and let go.
Use some airs to please the young father-in-law."
Liu Ying did not dare to speak clearly. In her opinion, Mrs. Side was still a concubine even though she was called madam.
So Sun Caiwei always pretends to be a virtuous and virtuous wife, and as soon as she sees the vixen named Li Ruo, she leaves silently, which is very unnecessary.
But Sun Caiwei shook her head and said, "I think what I want is not what you said."
Liuying was so anxious that she said, "Mrs. Side! You can't keep refusing to consummate your marriage with me!"
Sun Caiwei walked in front of Liuying and didn't answer. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Gu Yu ate some of the food prepared by the two of them and looked satisfied.
Li Ruo said sourly: "Who cooks better, me or her?"
Gu Yu seriously commented: "Each has its own merits."
Li Ruo was unhappy and said, "Then you can eat what she cooks from now on."
Gu Yu smiled softly and said, "What you make is more in line with my taste."
Li Ruo muttered: "That's pretty much it."
Gu Yudao: "How are you these days at home?"
Li Ruodao: "In the past few days when you were away, people from the Sun family came to the door and asked Mrs. Side to go back. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Side was so stubborn that no one from the Sun family was seen. Later, Mrs. Sun came in person.
, the mother and daughter didn’t know what they said, and they made a big fuss in Mingxinyuan, and Mrs. Sun ran out crying.”
Gu Yu smiled and said: "She finally got her bearings."
In dealing with Zhao Chuan's matter this time, it was Gu Yu who was forcing Sun Caiwei to make a decision with the Sun Mansion.
The entire Sun family is unable to carry things, so Gu Yu can't help Sun Caiwei every time.
Li Ruodao: "After the imperial examination is over, my cousin will come in."
Gu Yu nodded and said, "Let's start preparing now."
Li Ruodao: "There is one more important thing. I found a few Goddess Cult believers in Kyoto who are preaching old doctrines. You told me not to act rashly before, but I didn't dare to investigate further."
Gu Yudao: "You have done a good job, don't act rashly."
Nowadays, the old believers of the Goddess Sect have become less popular, and now they suddenly appear, making people have to be careful.
Li Ruodao: "But, don't you care about them?"
Gu Yudao: "Now is not the time."
Gu Yu was able to confirm that the person who founded the Goddess Cult was related to someone in the palace, but this target was too difficult to find.
Anyway, she holds the Goddess Sect in her hands now, so she is definitely not the one who is impatient.
The enemy is overt and we are in the dark, so we can only respond to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged.
After Li Ruo left, Gu Yu thought that he would be able to have a good sleep because he was so tired, but when he lay on the bed, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
The white cat was still deliberately against her and kept purring under her window, which made Gu Yu extremely annoyed.
Gu Yu opened the window, took a plate and threw it at the source of the sound, but there was no movement there again.
He came back after a while.
Gu Yuzhi smashed all the tea sets before driving the cat away.
After struggling until late at night, Gu Yu finally met Duke Zhou.
But she forgot to close the window. Early the next morning, Gu Yu felt itchy on her face. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the white cat had jumped in from the window and nestled beside her pillow.
At this moment, he was looking at her with a pair of big round eyes.
Gu Yu didn't sleep enough and didn't have the energy to fight with the cat anymore. He said vaguely: "The ghost is still lingering", then turned over and fell asleep again.
When Gu Yu woke up again, it was already three o'clock in the morning.
After eating, Gu Yu looked for the three seriously injured candidates one by one based on the addresses written on their examination papers.
After the Gongyuan was opened, the three people were carried back to their addresses by the officials.
There hasn't been any imperial examination yet, but these three people are already confirmed to be Jinshi.
They were seriously injured, so they were inevitably worried. Gu Yu went over to give them a reassurance so that they could rest in peace and recover from their injuries.
Furthermore, this is the grace that Gu Yu asked for from the Holy One, and it is also the key to winning people's hearts.
