Chapter 198 The Stingy Old Aunt (2)
When they were eunuchs, they were all stabbed. They lost their grandparents and grandchildren, and they had no hope in matters of men and women. Although they still regarded themselves as men in their hearts, they lacked a part, so they had no choice but to let go of that thought.Therefore, money is all the more important.

His face immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he said politely: "Miss Gu, you are too polite, this... I gave this old slave two rewards a day, this old slave can't bear it!"

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "Eunuch serves in front of the emperor every day, it's hard work, I don't have ready-made ginseng in my family, otherwise, I will give it to Eunuch to make up for him."

The implication is that the money should be used to buy supplements.

"In this case, the old slave is greedy for money." Eunuch Yao accepted the bank note with a smile.

Gu Qingmei said again: "Elder-in-law, there is tea offered by the fourth prince and concubine at home, please stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."

"No, the emperor returns to Luan tomorrow, and the old slave has to go back and watch them pack their luggage. When you go to the capital, invite the old slave to drink tea."

"Definitely!" Gu Qingmei sent him away with a smile.

Looking at those rewards, Gu Liushi was so frightened that her legs trembled, "Meizi, what's going on? Why does the emperor want to reward you for being so good? Could it be you..."

She couldn't help but think about that, for fear that her daughter would be taken a liking to by the emperor.

Although she is an ignorant woman, she also knows that if the emperor takes a fancy to her daughter, her own family has no money or power, and if her daughter enters the palace, she will only be bullied by others.

Gu Qingmei smiled and said: "It's okay, I just gave the emperor an idea to resist the Tartars, and the emperor gave me a reward."

When she saw her sister-in-law looking at her rewards, her eyes were red, so she said coldly: "Yun Shen, take the things to my house, and then make a book of them all, so that they can be stored away. Everything that the emperor rewarded you is worthless." Don’t throw it away, or you will be executed everywhere.”

"Yes!" Yun Shen agreed, and called the men in the family to help, moved the things to Gu Qingmei's room, and registered them one by one.

Although Gu Qingmei didn't take this imperial decree seriously in her heart, she still had to take care of her face. Hearing her uncle's suggestion, she put the imperial decree on the table in the main room and confessed.

Neither Gu Qingyang nor Gu Qinglei came back that night, and they didn't return home until the next morning.

As soon as Gu Qingyang came back, he went straight to Gu Qingmei's room.

Yesterday he and Gu Qinglei held a meeting overnight at the fourth prince's place to help Murong Yu study the regulations for building the city wall to protect the country. After hearing that this idea came from Gu Qingmei, he couldn't calm down for a long time.

In fact, regarding the fact that his sister's body was taken over by a soul from an unknown world, he was not without the slightest estrangement in his heart.

But he couldn't just kill his sister because of this?That was tantamount to murdering his own sister.

So he could only tolerate this woman's soul living in his sister's body, not only that, but also to protect her.

Fortunately, this woman's temperament is not bad, since she appeared, the family situation is different from before.

Gu Qingmei told him a lot, including Sun Tzu's military knowledge and other knowledge, and passed it on to him, so as not to reveal his secrets when he was really nominated for the gold medal one day.After all, I was bluffing and cheating under his banner. If the fourth brother is not as knowledgeable as myself, it will inevitably make people suspicious.

It had been several days since the emperor drove back to Luan, and Murong Yu and others naturally followed him.

Since knowing the news of Murong Yu's return to the capital, Gu Qingmei's heart has been empty.

Fortunately, she is very busy, taking care of Gu Qingyang's marriage and drawing pictures every day, so she doesn't have much time to imitate those idle daughters who have nothing to do.

Su Wei sent her the ledgers of several shops. She looked at them and found that they were all trivial journals, which were kept according to the ancient single-entry bookkeeping method.She taught Solvay how to keep accounts using simple double-entry bookkeeping.

After two or three days of busy work, I finally delivered the dowry to Tian Xiaomeng. With her hard work, it was not too embarrassing. I collected a total of 48 bags, invited the neighbors, and asked the third brother and Gu Qinglei to help. To Tian's house.

The next step is to wait until October [-] to get married on time.

Two days after the betrothal gift was given, a carriage stopped at the door of Gu Qingmei's house, and it turned out that Gu Qingmei's elder sister also came back with her two sons.

Gu Liushi hadn't seen her eldest daughter for several years, so she held her hand and cried.

After Gu Qingmei helped her mother welcome the person in, she went back to her room and took two silver ingots weighing twelve taels, and then went to Dongli Room.

Gu Qingmei's eldest sister is named Gu Qingyue, and she is the most pungent and capable person. Although her husband is only a seventh-rank county magistrate, she still wears gold and silver, and she has a compelling nobility.

Gu Qingyue has two sons, the eldest son and Gu Qingmei were also 15 years old when they were children, and the youngest son is 13 years old. This time when he returned to his hometown, he was preparing for the eldest son to take the children's examination.

In the past dynasties, the imperial examinations had to be done in the place where the candidates were born, and they had to obtain the qualification of being a child student, and then they could pass the examination level by level, and the examination was not just for everyone.

The examination for children is divided into three parts: the county examination, the government examination and the college examination. The county examination must be guaranteed by a local scholar and four villagers to obtain the qualification, that is, the admission ticket.

In the government examination, only one scholar and five villagers as guarantees can be qualified.

The last is the courtyard examination, and the courtyard examination requires that the reference candidates must have two scholars and six villagers as guarantees before they can participate.Therefore, if the popularity is not good, no one can be found in the village to guarantee him, and usually he is not even qualified for the exam.

After passing the college examination, the door of the scientific examination can be knocked on, and you can continue your studies and take the provincial examination, general examination and palace examination.

Although Gu Qingyue's two sons were about the same age as Gu Qingmei, they still politely called her aunt, so she naturally gave each of them a big ingot without hesitation.

The two brothers were at a loss when they saw this ingot, because they had always heard that the condition of their grandmother's house was not very good.

Gu Qingyue glanced at the clothes on Gu Qingmei's body. In the past few years, she has helped her husband socialize with the officials and wives in the officialdom, and she has gained some experience. Not only the materials of the clothes on the little girl's body are excellent, Even the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head was top-quality, so he said calmly: "Your aunt gave it to you, so hurry up and accept it!"

Only then did the two brothers say thank you for accepting it.

Gu Qingyue said with a smile: "Little sister is promising. When I left home, she was only four or five years old. Now she is a big girl. Did you kiss her?"
