The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Guan Shi said: "Zhou thought about it for a night last night, and felt that the request made by Xiao Xiao was too much. As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal. Whether my son can be selected mainly depends on his own good fortune. , but our intention to ask Xiao Xiaoxiong for advice is sincere! My master said that as long as Xiao Xiao Gongzi is willing to go to the provincial capital, everything else can be discussed!"

Gu Jiao glanced at him: "In other words, it's not bad for us to fail the test?"

Manager Zhou hurriedly said, "Not bad, not bad!"

Gu Jiao: "Silver?"

Steward Zhou: "Give it up! Give it when you go to the provincial capital! Never break your promise!"

Gu Jiao said, "You can go and talk to my husband directly."

Manager Zhou was helpless and said, "Why didn't you go? But little brother Xiao doesn't want to talk to us anymore! I also hope that Mrs. Xiao will sell Zhou's favor. You take the money first, and it will be yours!"

Gu Jiao took the brocade box that he handed over with both hands, and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if you have money or not, it's mainly because of your busyness."

Manager Zhou: "..."

Can you stop talking about greed for money so fresh and refined?

Steward Zhou is grateful, and Gu Jiao has repeatedly stressed that she is only a preacher, not a lobbyist.

Manager Zhou smiled: "It's nature! It's nature!"

Gu Jiao returned to the village with Yin Zi and Xiao Jingkong.

She counted it, five hundred taels in total.

This call fee is quite a lot.

After Xiao Liulang got out of school that night, Gu Jiao told him about seeing Steward Zhou during the day, without concealing a single word, and without adding fuel to it.

Xiao Liulang frowned when he heard it. Of course, he didn't blame Gu Jiao for going to see Steward Zhou, but he didn't expect Steward Zhou to find his home without giving up.

He said: "If someone comes to the door again in the future, don't leave with others easily. The manager Zhou I met this time is not a difficult person, but in case..."

Gu Jiao looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "You seem to be worried about something, is there still someone coming to look for you?"

Xiao Liulang opened his mouth and hesitated before saying, "I just told you to be careful about everything."

"understood.

Gu Jiao smiled, then looked at the box of silver on the table and said, "What are you going to do about the Lin family? "

Xiao Liulang knew the situation of the Lin family. It was the same as what Director Zhou said. If there were no more children in the family who could become officials, no one would be able to protect the Lin family in thirty years.

Of course, the Lin family can buy officials, but the officials bought are not big enough, and no one dares to sell them to the Lin family, so the imperial examination is indeed the only way out for the Lin family at the moment.

I heard that the master of the Lin family is about to turn himself into a small breeding pig in order to give birth to more useful sons.

Xiao Liulang pondered for a moment and said, "If you don't force the result, it's fine to go there."

After all, it's two thousand taels of silver.

Gu Jiao also felt that it was feasible. The provincial capital was farther than the prefectural capital. If the township exam had to be started more than a month earlier, it was hard to say whether it would be possible to find a suitable place to settle down after arriving there.

It would be much more convenient to live in the Lin Mansion.

And if you go earlier, you can adapt to the soil and water earlier, and you can also wait for work.

Gu Jiao asked, "Will it delay your own homework?"

Xiao Liulang said: "No."

Gu Jiao remembered that the dean had said that Xiao Liulang was an extremely intelligent person, but he just didn't want to go to Beijing to take the exam. It might not be a bad thing to let him walk around.

Gu Jiao nodded: "Then it's settled."

Xiao Liulang: "Yes."

She thought that the matter of going to Lin's house was settled like this, but that night, Gu Jiao had a dream.

She dreamed that Xiao Liulang agreed to Steward Zhou and was escorted by Steward Zhou and the guards of the Lin family to the provincial capital.

The Lin family really asked for advice sincerely, and didn't plan to play any moths. This time, it is reasonable to say that this incident is foolproof, but it is not as good as heaven.

The station where Xiao Liulang lived was flooded, and the group was swept away by the flood. Xiao Liulang hugged a driftwood. His life was saved, but he became seriously ill. Man has shed a layer of skin.

Fortunately, they set off early, and even after such a long delay, there are still two full months before the township exam.

Xiao Liulang was recuperating in Lin's house while tutoring Lin Liugong with his homework.

Lin Liugong is a person of good character, his brain is not extremely smart, but he is more diligent and persevering, and Xiao Liulang gets along well with him.

It's just that when the township exam was approaching, a big event happened: a cousin of the Lin family came to live in the Lin Mansion, and she was the niece of the Lin family's mistress.

The young lady fell in love with Xiao Liulang at first sight.

Whether Xiao Liulang is still a lame man makes people look at him, which shows how bad this man looks.

It's just that the family is a girl with a head and a face, and she can't do the thing of recommending a pillow seat as soon as she comes up, and it happens that the sixth son of Lin has caught the cold.

Miss Biao took this into consideration and persuaded her aunt: "Cousin is probably not able to pass the exam like this, it is better to let Xiao Liulang take the exam instead of cousin. Cousin writes his name, and he writes his cousin's name. My cousin has a better chance of winning."

Miss Biao said to her aunt that as a thank you, she was willing to be Xiao Liulang's concubine.

Mrs. Lin is from the past, what can't you see through? But it did speak to his heart.

Although the sixth son was not born to her, it was related to the future of the entire Lin family, so Mrs. Lin agreed.

Xiao Liulang sternly refused, and scolded the two.

Mrs. Lin is holding the attitude of giving it a try, if it doesn't work, forget it.

However, that young lady was a ruthless character, and she even gave Xiao Liulang a drug in a fit of rage!

In all fairness, the appearance of that young lady is not bad, and it can even be said that she is as beautiful as a flower, but even so, Xiao Liulang defeated the medicinal properties of aphrodisiac with his strong willpower.

But he also fell from the root of the disease.

After waking up, Gu Jiao was so pissed!

What messed up Miss Biao actually hit Xiao Liulang's head with a bad idea? What a blessing he and the rest of his life have been harmed by such despicable methods!

And this is not the blessing of him alone!

Tolerable or unbearable!

It seems that this Lin Mansion is impossible to go to.

That young lady is a frequent visitor to the Lin Mansion. As long as Xiao Liulang lives in, no matter how careful he is, he will definitely meet her.

The sky was slightly bright, Gu Yan and the old lady were still sleeping soundly in their respective rooms, Gu Jiao sat in the main room and had breakfast with Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong.

Xiao Jingkong finished eating first, and then went back to Westinghouse to pack his book bag.

Gu Jiao took a mouthful of porridge and hesitated how to speak to him.

He got up early in the morning and packed his luggage. Gu Jiao looked at the two bags on the chair with subtle eyes.

"That..." she said calmly, "I thought about the Lin family, do you want to reconsider?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Liulang looked at her in confusion.

Gu Jiao said sternly, "You have been away for so long, what will you do at home?"

Xiao Liulang was stunned: "We don't farm at home."

Gu Jiao continued earnestly: "I don't farm, but there are seniors and juniors. It's very hard for me to take care of me alone! Occasionally I need to go up the mountain!"

Xiao Liulang was confused, and he didn't seem to be helping him at home. He didn't do much work at all, mainly because she rushed to finish it. Logically speaking, it would be easier for her when he was not at home...

Gu Jiao: "I can't always trouble Xue Ningxiang!"

Xiao Liulang: "Then why don't you... hire a maid?"

The family can afford a maid now. He is a man, and it is not convenient to be under one roof, but if he is not there, there is no way to avoid suspicion.

Gu Jiao: "I'm not used to strangers living in the house."

This still can't convince Xiao Liulang, after all, she was the first to express her desire to go to the provincial capital yesterday.

Gu Jiao also understood, so she took another dose of medicine: "And I heard from Gu Yan that the Lin family has a lot of beautiful daughters. Who knows if you go there or not, and find me some younger sisters."

Gu Yan is the son of the Hou family, he is well informed, and it is not surprising that he has heard about the Lin family.

Moreover, Xiao Liulang would not go to Gu Yan to verify whether he had instilled some strange thoughts on his sister.

Xiao Liulang looked at Gu Jiao deeply: "So you are jealous?"

Gu Jiao: Can I say no?

Xiao Liulang scooped a spoonful of millet porridge: "I see, I'm not going."

isn't it? Talking so well?

Gu Jiao glanced at him with her small eyes: "Actually, I just mentioned it casually. The decision is up to you... As for the two thousand taels of silver, do you really feel pain?"

Xiao Liulang said calmly: "It seems that you have more pain in the flesh."

Gu Jiao embarrassed: "Is this so obvious?"

Then she said without changing her face: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the main reason is to save a young boy who is angry. Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now."

If you don't go to Lin's house, how can you make this money?

Xiao Liulang glanced at her, pretending that nothing had happened, I'm afraid he didn't know that his little mouth was so pouted that he could hang a pot of oil.

Xiao Liulang and Xiao Jingkong went to town. He first sent Xiao Jingkong to a private school before going to Tianxiang Academy.

Manager Zhou has been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Liulang, he greeted him with a smile on his face: "How is Xiao Xiucai thinking?"

Xiao Liulang said lightly: "I can teach your son, but I have a condition."

Manager Zhou was overjoyed: "Don't say one condition! Ten will do!"

Xiao Liulang said: "I don't want to go to the provincial capital. If your son sincerely asks for advice, let him come here. I will arrange for him to enter the academy and sit at the same table with me."

Manager Zhou opened his mouth: "Ah... this... how about I add some more money?"

Xiao Liulang said indifferently: "It's useless for you to add gold, I will teach you when people come, and if you can't come, you can ask for another brilliant."
