Chapter 53 Banquet
"If the thief is handed over to the government, the students will feel relieved. As for what happens next, they don't need to worry about it!"
After hearing these words, Governor Jiang was very surprised. Did Gu Chengyu really know the truth, or had he already guessed the connection behind this matter? Was he not curious at all? Or was he so sensitive to court matters?
"Sir! It's already the beginning of the Youshi period! The dinner is about to begin!" At this time, Manager Yu's voice sounded outside the door.
"I know! You go over first! I have to wait a moment!" Governor Jiang was afraid that others would misunderstand that they have a personal relationship, so he asked Gu Chengyu to go to the banquet first. If he and Gu Chengyu appeared together, it would inevitably cause misunderstandings from others.
In Jingyuan Mansion, he can't do whatever he wants. After all, there is Judge Wu Tong!
"Yes! The student resigned first!" Gu Chengyu knew about Magistrate Jiang's concerns. When he came out of the outer study room, he was led to the flower hall by Manager Yu.
"Sir! I just sent you here. The other candidates have already arrived. Please come in, sir!" Manager Yu brought the person to the flower hall and stopped.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Chengyu smiled and thanked him!
"Young Master, you are serious! I have some errands to do, so I'll excuse you!" The adults in his family seemed to treat Mr. Gu differently, so he had to be more polite. Seeing that this young man has an extraordinary bearing and is well-dressed,
What’s even more elusive is that he looks exactly like that one!
Gu Chengyu stepped into the flower hall and saw that it was a small banquet hall. The other candidates had already arrived, and Gu Chengyu was the last to arrive!
As soon as he entered, the voices of conversation in the flower hall stopped, and the expression on his face was very subtle.
"Some people are so ignorant that they even dare to be late for a banquet hosted by the prefect! If they think they have won the first place, they will not take others seriously!" One of the candidates held a tea bowl in his hand and did not look at Gu Chengyu.
He said sarcastically.
When Ye Zhiqiu saw that the man was taunting him, he immediately helped him. Gu Chengyu did come with him, but Manager Yu asked him not to tell anyone about Gu Chengyu's meeting with the magistrate. He sat here for most of an hour, those
The talents arrived, and it seemed that their invitations were at least an hour earlier than others.
"Chengyu has been here a long time ago, and he came with me!"
Gu Chengyu glanced around and saw Ye Zhiqiu sitting alone in the corner with no one to talk to. Ye Zhiqiu was shy and introverted, he knew it, but he had changed a lot in the past two years. If someone talked to him, he would usually
How could no one pay attention to the response? It seems that they have been isolated by others.
"You said he has been here a long time ago, but what about the others? He can't go to see the prefect, right?" The candidate found it funny that he was a guest at someone's house and could walk around privately without the host's permission? Do you think they are fools?
Gu Chengyu was speechless, brother! Your guess was so accurate! Didn't you just go to see the prefect of Chiang Kai-shek?
"Senior Brother! Senior Brother Ye and I came here together. Manager Yu in the mansion can vouch for this. I just remembered that there was something I had not done, so I turned back. Isn't it too late to come here now?
After all, the banquet hasn’t started yet!”
As soon as Gu Chengyu finished speaking, one of the examinees pulled the person, "Oh! We are all in the same year, this is fate! The prefect is coming soon, and I just want to discuss knowledge, so let's wait until next time!"
Gu Chengyu glanced at it. This candidate was also a talented person. The original sarcasm turned into a discussion. He didn't know which words they said were related to the discussion of knowledge. However, this person told lies with his eyes open, and everyone would not
Just go and break it down.
Gu Chengyu also planned to keep the matter quiet. After all, it would be ugly to cause trouble in someone else's house. But he didn't want to let them go just like this, otherwise wouldn't it be like picking on the weak?
"What everyone is saying is that the prefect is very knowledgeable, so we should wait until the prefect comes before continuing the discussion!"
Just now he glanced at Gu Chengyu who was trying to persuade him. Are you waiting for the magistrate to come and you still want to file a complaint? Is it reasonable for you to be late? It seems that although the first place is just a baby, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
In front of the prefect, the number one person would be shameless, but people like them would inevitably act like villains.
The candidate laughed awkwardly. Anyway, they didn't agree with him, so the blame couldn't be placed on them.
There was a cool breeze blowing in the night today, and people felt a little bit cool. Gu Chengyu came out of the lively flower hall to get some air. The banquet was full of flattery, and he became a little irritated after hearing too much about it. Plus, he
I don’t know how to drink, and I find it quite boring, so I take the opportunity to go to the toilet to blow off the smell of alcohol on my body.
The boy leading the way was holding a lantern, and Gu Chengyu was walking slowly behind him. He was coming out of the palace and walked to a garden. As he walked, Gu Chengyu thought of Gu Wanhua, who had been busy these past two days.
I wonder if Gu Wanhua has gone back.
Suddenly, a woman's cry came faintly in front of her. It seemed that she was not far away from Gu Chengyu. The garden was full of flowers and plants, and there were some trees planted around it. He could only see the trees, so the woman must have been blocked by the trees!
Gu Chengyu's footsteps paused, then the speed of his feet increased, and he urged softly: "Hurry up! I feel a little dizzy, let's go to the flower hall quickly!"
The boy also heard the cry at this moment, and he was a little scared, and his feet were shaking. He lowered his voice, swallowed his saliva, and asked tremblingly: "Mr. Gu, is that a human or a ghost?"
Ah! It's really scary! It's pitch black, and hearing this sound is so creepy!
"Don't ask random questions! Let's go!"
Gu Chengyu didn't know what kind of bridge this was. It was already dark. This was the outer courtyard. According to the rules of officials, the inner and outer courtyards should be locked at this time. But now there is a woman crying here. What do you think?
No! He didn't think it was a ghost or anything. Needless to say, it must be a matter of the inner court. As a foreigner, it's not easy for him to get involved in other people's family affairs!
Gu Chengyu pushed the boy and told him to walk faster and leave the place of trouble. Maybe someone would come over later.
But the more they walked forward, the sound got closer and closer to them. Gu Chengyu suddenly stopped, no! The woman was already in front of them, and Gu Chengyu could see the woman's appearance. Although it was night, he could see at night.
, he quickly grabbed the boy and walked back. Even if there was no other way here, it was a wise move to return to the Gongfang!
Gu Chengyu was afraid that the boy would scream, so he covered the boy's mouth and carried him all the way to Gong's house.
I took a quick look just now and saw that the woman was well dressed, at least she was a capable girl by the master's side. The most important thing was that her clothes were messy, her bun was loose, and a hairpin was stuck crookedly in her hair.
Chapter completed!
