Chapter 40 Uncle
The visitor looked him up and down with a little appreciation, and said, "Be polite and dignified, um, not bad."

Gu Yunji didn't know this person, but somehow felt that his appearance was a little familiar. From the official uniform, it could be seen that his rank was not low, but he didn't know the official position of the other party, so he had to ask: "My lord has a high reputation. Dare I ask what your name is?"

The man laughed: "You shouldn't call me my lord, you should call me uncle."

"Uncle?" There are many relatives in the Gu family, and Gu Yunji didn't realize for a moment which uncle this person is.

"I'm Gu Yuanhui from the second room. Your father Gu Kaizhen is my cousin. If you don't call me cousin, what do you call me?"

The second son of Gu Zhenglu, the second-bedroom old man, Gu Yuanhui, who is currently the minister of the Ministry of Punishment?Gu Yunji remembered, and hurriedly saluted: "Yunji met Tang Shu. I didn't recognize him just now, so don't take it to heart."

Gu Yuanhui didn't care, and said with a smile: "You haven't seen me before, it's normal not to know each other. I heard that His Majesty wanted to come to Luxi Academy to meet a student, so I thought it was some kind of boy who tricked His Majesty with his persuasive words. , is actually a descendant of our Gu family!"

Gu Yunji scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer.

Gu Yuanhui stepped forward and clasped his shoulder affectionately: "I just said, how can the boys from other families have the ability to win His Majesty's favor? Sure enough, we must be the children of our Songjiang Gu family to have this ability! That's the way it is, now Can His Majesty remember you, won't your future official career be more accessible?"

Judging from what Gu Yuanhui meant, before he knew who the emperor wanted to see, he should be very opposed to it.It turned out that after the emperor found out that the person he met was his own child, his attitude immediately took a big turn, and he immediately affirmed and praised Gu Yunji, and he didn't think it was wrong for the emperor to come to Luxi Academy.

What a double standard, Gu Yunji silently slandered.

Seeing that Gu Yunji was not arrogant or impetuous after being personally interviewed by the emperor, Gu Yuanhui became more and more satisfied: "A few years ago, our family had Gu Mingxuan, a 20-year-old Jinshi, I already think it's pretty good. I didn't expect it to be so long, and then appeared again." You, Gu Yunji, are even more amazingly talented. It’s true that the waves push the waves forward, and our Songjiang Gu family is really going to prosper."

"Your grandfather and the others only heard that you were accepted as an apprentice by Xu Shanchang, but they probably haven't heard the news that you were received by His Majesty. I will write a letter to them personally in two days. They will definitely be happier when they know."

Speaking of grandfather, it also reminded Gu Yunji of his family members whom he hadn't seen for several months. He couldn't help being aroused with nostalgia, and said with a little melancholy: "Yeah, they will be very happy when they find out. When I arrived at Luxi Academy, I never went back home."

"You might be able to go home soon." Seeing Gu Yunji's puzzled eyes, Gu Yuanhui continued, "Your elder brother Gu Yunxiao is getting married, maybe around the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Brother is getting married? When will it happen? Why don't I know?"

Gu Yuanhui said: "Not long ago, I heard that you worshiped Xu Shanchang as your teacher. Your father wanted you to study hard without being distracted. He didn't tell you when he was engaged, but when you get married, you I definitely have to go back, maybe Xin is already on the way, I just let you know in advance."

Before Gu Yunji left, he hadn't seen Gu Kaizhen and Mrs. Wang discussing marriage with Gu Yunxiao, so they're getting married so soon?He was a little curious: "Which family is the girl from?"

"The daughter of Zheng Haifeng's concubine, whose boudoir name is Xiuyun, has just been born. I heard that she is beautiful and lovely, and she matches your elder brother very well."

Gu Yunji's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and he asked, "But the aunt's niece? I've heard my uncle mention it before."

Gu Yuanhui nodded: "Exactly, it is said that this matchmaking was facilitated by your uncle."

During the Dragon Boat Festival last year in Fucheng, Gu Kaili enthusiastically wanted to match Gu Yunxiao, and he was talking about Zheng Haifeng's daughter, Zheng Xiuyun.Unexpectedly, after a year passed, a girl whom he casually mentioned at that time would really become his sister-in-law. The fate is really wonderful. Thinking of this, Gu Yunji was filled with emotion.

At this time, the attendants outside the room where the emperor was resting in the distance were suddenly busy. It turned out that Emperor Jingfeng had finished talking and came out with Pan Shiliang and the others.Seeing this, Gu Yunji and Gu Yuanhui stopped talking, and hurried over to wait on them.

Emperor Jingfeng came out and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the mountains. He felt refreshed immediately, and he came up for a while, and said to the crowd: "I think the scenery here is quiet and beautiful. Why don't we just stroll around in the academy for a while?" ?”

Xu Chengyu was about to go forward to lead the way, when a thin and rigid old minister said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, officials of all sizes from the Hangzhou government are still waiting for you to summon at the foot of the mountain. This academy official saw that it was nothing more than a school There is nothing to visit in the dormitory and so on, let's go back earlier."

Emperor Jingfeng frowned when he heard the words, the corners of his upturned mouth drooped, and he shook the fan in his hand with a sullen face, without speaking for a long time.

At this time, Gu Yuanhui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's too late. The journey down the mountain will only take more than half an hour, as long as you meet the officials before night falls. And this Luxi Academy is a famous institution in Hangzhou. This time, to welcome His Majesty, the government also specially allocated money to repair it. Your Majesty is willing to stay here for a while, which shows that the local officials are doing things properly, and this is also recognition and encouragement to them."

"What's more, it's rare for your Majesty to have such an elegant mood. It's just a casual stroll. Why should Mr. Zhou stop it?" Speaking of this, he gave the skinny old minister a meaningful sideways glance.

"Gu Qing is right. I'm just strolling around, so I can't delay anything." Emperor Jing Feng was very unhappy when his proposal was rejected, and he was short of someone to stand up and agree with him. Seeing Gu Yuanhui's agreement at this time, he felt happy again. Can't wait to walk in front and start to stroll, the people didn't dare to object when they saw this, they hurriedly followed.

Although Gu Yuanhui was in favor of the emperor, he himself seemed to have no interest in visiting, so he followed the team not far or near.

Cabinet scholar Fang Shu walked up to him and said, "Didn't you particularly object to your majesty coming to Luxi Academy before? How do you think that you don't object now, and you also wish your majesty could stay a little longer?"

Gu Yuanhui didn't look sideways, ignored him, and just walked his own way leisurely.

Seeing him smiling and not saying a word, Fang Shu suddenly thought of something, and said suspiciously: "The boy His Majesty wants to see is surnamed Gu, he can't be a distant relative of your family, right?"

Gu Yuanhui said leisurely: "What kind of distant relative, that is my cousin."

"Good old fox Gu!" Fang Shu suddenly realized, "I said, why did you change your attitude so quickly? It turns out that the boy is the younger generation of your family! No wonder you are always smiling today. The children in the family are promising. Let's bloom early!"

Gu Yuanhui said politely: "Where is it, your son Fang Zigui is also very good, Jieyuan in the provincial examination. It is just that he lost to my little cousin in the apprenticeship competition."

"The dog is still... Hey! You are praising your nephew in a different way!" Fang Shu heard his first few words, and was about to be humble, but he didn't know that the other party was still showing off his son.

The two often quarreled, Gu Yuanhui was not surprised by his hopping, pretended not to hear, and walked to the front quickly, Fang Shu stopped bickering with him when he saw this, and followed.

The sun was gradually sinking, and it would be difficult for Emperor Jingfeng to stay here, so he and the others prepared to go down the mountain, and before leaving, he encouraged Gu Yunji: "You have to work hard, I'm still waiting to see you in the next imperial examination!"

Gu Yunji replied respectfully: "Yes, the students will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Seeing this, everyone cast envious glances at Gu Yunji, and Gu Yuanhui even stroked his beard with a proud face. His Majesty valued him at such a young age, and his future was boundless.
