Chapter 979 The Tian family gives away their daughter
The ancient prefect knew what Xue De and the others were thinking. He sneered in his heart and said to himself: Gu Jinan is the person Ming Shaoqing likes. You must not do this, otherwise you will die miserably.
The ancient prefect informed the people present about the rules of the college examination and the time when the college examination would be held, and then let them leave.
The children present stood up and bowed to the ancient prefect: "Students bid farewell to the prefect."
Having said that, people filed out in twos and threes.
The ancient prefect also prepared a return gift for them, one for each person, including Brother Cheng, who handed it to them by the Yamen who saw off the guests.
Brother Cheng was very happy to receive the return gift and said to Gu Jinan: "Brother, the prefect is so kind. He gave me a return gift. I wonder what's in it?"
"What, what, what? Ha, he is indeed a lower-level man. He speaks slang that cannot be considered elegant. Don't you know how to speak elegant language?" Xuede came to seek death again.
Gu Jinan's eyes turned cold, his gaze pierced Xue De, and he smiled coldly.
Xue De had never seen Gu Jinan like this before. He was startled. After he came to his senses, he said angrily: "What are you looking at, you idiot? Be careful, I will dig out your eyes and feed them to the dogs!"
Gu Jinan smiled as brightly as a spring breeze, and said to the children and government officials present: "Fellow fellows and brothers, you all heard it. Xue De said that he wanted to gouge out my eyes. This is against the criminal law. I will wait for someone to file a lawsuit." When Xue De commits murder, please be a witness."
Xue De's face turned pale and he said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just talking casually."
Gu Jinan smiled: "I just told you casually."
When he finished speaking, he put away the smile on his face, his handsome face was extremely cold, and he stared at Xue De and said: "Don't think that you can be presumptuous if I don't care about you. It's easy to destroy you. Just a piece of paper can make you Go to jail. Even if your family can rescue you, I can still ask people with official positions to help with the exam. If you dont cultivate your personal ethics, I will take away your reputation and make it impossible for you to even think about becoming an official in the imperial examination. !
So you'd better be smart and don't seek death.
After hearing this, Xue De's face turned pale and he was trembling when he spoke. But after he calmed down, he said angrily: "You asked someone with an official position to take away my title. How can you, a country boy, know any official family?" ?
Gu Jinans smile became even stronger, and he counted them one by one: County Magistrate Zheng of Tianfu County counts as one, Master Zheng of the Zheng family of Jinling counts as one, Master Shangguange counts as one
You, you still know Mr. Shangguange!
All the children present were stunned. Some people exclaimed: "The rumors are true. Gu Jinan is really on good terms with the eldest grandson of the Zheng family and the Shangguan family, and he even knows Lord Zheng and follows the official!"
With a bang, Xue De's legs were so frightened that he sat down on the ground and couldn't even speak.
Gu Jinan looked down at Xue De, but he was no longer interested in dealing with him: "It's useless. I'm scared before I even deal with you. How dare you be so brave with this little courage? Even in He'an Mansion, if you go If you go to Jiangnan or the capital, a fool like you will be killed by the descendants of wealthy families and high-ranking officials in less than a quarter of an hour."
After Gu Jinan scolded Xue De, he took Brother Cheng's hand and left.
Only then did Xue De come to his senses and begged behind Gu Jinan: "Gu, Brother Gu, please don't write to Mr. Zheng and Mr. Shangguange. Don't take away my honor. I got into the exam with great difficulty. If my fame is gone, I will be beaten to death by my family!"
The second to last one was also admitted, and this is the best result he has ever achieved. He must not lose it.
Gu Jinan ignored Xue De and left with Cheng Geer, Qi Kangming and others.
Xue De sat on the ground for a while before being helped away by others.
After the yamen servant returned, he told the ancient prefect about the matter and asked again: "Sir, would Case Chief Gu really write a letter asking Shangguan Ge Lao Shang Zhezi to take away Master Xue's honor?"
Gu Zhifu shook his head: "No, Gu Jinan is not that stupid to use such a large network of contacts for such a trivial matter."
The Zheng family and the Shangguan family all keep it for life-saving purposes. Unless Gu Jinan encounters a life-or-death emergency, it is impossible for him to seek help from the Zheng family or the Shangguan family. After hearing this, the Yamen servant was very happy. The Xue family will definitely send someone to find out the news. When the time comes, he can get at least ten taels of silver if he tells what the ancient prefect said.
The ancient prefect was talking to the prison guards of Dali Temple about the distribution of business documents today, and had no time to talk to the yamen. After hearing this, he sent him away.
The prison guards at Dali Temple were very satisfied with Gu Jinan's performance: "He is a smart and scheming person, not bad."
The master doesn't like those naive scholars, only those who have the will and opportunity to do things.
"Brother Gu, let's say goodbye first, and we will go to your house for a discussion tomorrow." Xu Zhaoming said to Gu Jinan. He came with Xu Liang and was not on the same path as Gu Jinan and the others.
Master Qu was also beside him and said, "I'm going to leave now. I'll follow my uncle and uncle Shang to find Brother Gu tomorrow."
Master Qus uncle Qu Xiucai was friends with Shang Xiucai. Qu Xiucai had served as Gu Jinans guarantor during the county examination. This time when Master Qu was taking the government examination, Qu Xiucai also came with him.
Gu Jinan smiled and said, "Brothers, see you tomorrow."
After saying that, everyone got into their own mule carts and went home.
There are guests at home, Yuan Jiagui and Tian Xiwang. They say they are here to thank the Gu family. If the Gu family had not helped, they would still be working as servants and would not be able to live a good life with a house and land.
Gu Jinan was a little surprised when he saw them. It was almost dark today, so even if he came to say thank you, there was no reason to stay until now.
Tian Xiwang was so happy when he saw him that he hurriedly brought his son up to talk to him: "Hey, this is the head of the Xinke case. He is really handsome. I heard that he hasn't been engaged yet, right?"
Tian Xiwangs daughter-in-law left in a hurry and headed towards the flower hall of the back house.
Gu Jinan frowned slightly, looked at Tian Xiwang, and said, "Hello, Uncle Tian."
Tian Xiwang was even happier and said hurriedly: "Hey, eh, ok, ok, ok."
He continued: "I'm nineteen now, but I'm a young man, so I have to hurry up and get married."
Lets talk about Gu Jinans marriage again.
Gu Jinan smiled, Tian Xiwang's purpose was a bit too obvious, but he didn't like the Tian girl, so he said: "Don't worry, I once swore that I would not marry until I passed the examination."
"What? How long do you have to wait? Even if you pass the exam in one go, you are still over twenty. How can we farmers get married so late?" Tian Xiwang said to Gu Dashan: "Da Shan, you can't let it go. Brother An is acting recklessly, so you have to arrange a marriage for him as soon as possible. Dont choose someone from a rich family. Those rich girls look down on us farmers the most. If you marry him, your whole family will be angry with her!"
Tian Xiwang was very excited. Tian Xiwang's daughter-in-law was even more excited than him. She pulled Tian Hui'er over and said: Hui'er, hurry up and see your brother Gu. "
Tian Hui'er felt happy when she saw Gu Jin'an. He was a handsome and capable man. He saluted and softly called out: "Hello, brother Gu."
Gu Jinli almost laughed out loud when he heard this, Brother Gu.
Gu Jinan was very unhappy and said in a calm voice: "Just call me the eldest son of the Gu family."
Brother Gu, it sounds disgusting to hear, and we are all adults, so shouting like this may be misunderstood.
