Chapter 64 Court Chapter 8

So when Gu Beiqing received this invitation, although he knew that the identity of the prince of Xiangbei was like a hot potato, and he also knew that he had better not have anything to do with him, but for some reason, it was probably because of the sympathy for each other. Smile knowingly.

Along with the invitation, there are 300 taels of silver.

When Gu Beiqing was the magistrate, his annual salary was 100 taels of silver plus ten stones of rice, which was enough for seventy or eighty people in the family.

Now that he has returned to the capital, the former mansion has also been taken over by the elders of the clan. Needless to say, the property, and because he is currently a sinner, it is impossible to get these things back through the elders of the clan. In the end, the people around me were cut again and again, only seven of my family members and three maids who had been with my mother and wife were crowded in the rented hut, but although there were only ten people, they still lived very hard. Some days the wife even sold the dowry to make ends meet.

Although I sell some calligraphy and paintings incognito every day, but there is no business, and it is not an option to continue like this.

So seeing the three hundred grains of silver, Gu Beiqing was really moved.

What made him even more interesting was that the maid sent by the prince of Xiangbei was really good at talking. She said that she just asked him to go to the mansion to see the prince first. You can leave if you have any reason, and the 300 taels of silver will be given to him as travel expenses whether you accept it or not.

Hearing this statement, Gu Beiqing was extremely surprised. Of course, he knew that if he went to his house, he had only two choices, one was to accept Wenyin and accept him as a student, or the other was to return Wenyin himself and explain the reasons.

And he also expected that he would definitely go to his house because of these remarks, and Gu Beiqing really did what he expected, because he was really curious about what kind of wonderful person this Xiangbei Prince's son was.

Gu Beiqing tidied up, took the wooden box for things and went to the Shizi's residence.

I saw that the son's mansion was bought in the east of the city, where the land price is the most expensive, because it is close to the main gate of the imperial palace, and not in the middle of the downtown area, so it has always been the place where official residences and private houses are located.

A few days ago when Gu Beiqing was selling calligraphy and paintings, he also heard the news that Prince Xiangbei's son entered the city. Those who lined up at the gate of the city that day were lucky enough to see him all said that the language used by the prince was extravagant, saying that he was extremely handsome. Good-looking, with the same face as the person in the painting, and some said that he was rich and honored, and he was quite willing to bring countless tributes and gifts to celebrate His Majesty's birthday this time.

Gu Beiqing still doesn't know what this son looks like, but he can tell that he is very rich. It must have cost a lot to buy this house, and he has put his heart into it. From the many servants who bought it, it can be seen that this The prince intends to live forever.

That's fine, people who have such plans are indeed smart. Although they know that their situation is desperate, they don't give up on themselves. Instead, they try their best to make their lives better.

Gu Beiqing admired such a person very much.

After entering the main entrance with a few maids who led the way, he passed through the flower hall, the middle hall, and then passed the nine-curved corridor on the lake, and finally arrived at the courtyard where the prince lived.

The courtyard chosen by the prince is quite quiet, with plum blossoms and bamboo forests planted around it, with faint fragrance of flowers and mottled lights and shadows, it is really a good place for countless literati to yearn for.

Gu Beiqing couldn't help but stop and take a look, this place is really a bit of nostalgia, if you come to such a place every day to teach and work, it's not bad.

Seeing him stop under the shade of flowers and bamboos, the two servant girls also stopped and stood there respectfully waiting for him.

Gu Beiqing couldn't help showing a smile, the girl here is also well-trained, it seems that the prince of Xiangbei is really like him

As I thought, not only was there a gully in my heart, but I also had a good schedule in doing things.

At this moment, he saw that the expressions of the two maidservants changed a little, a little different from before. There were more smiles on their cautious faces just now, but their eyebrows became more restrained, and they even lowered their heads.

It seems that someone is coming.

Just when he had this idea in his mind, a smiling voice came from behind and said, "I wonder if Mr. is satisfied with the residence that this son has chosen for you?"

The voice was as clear as a spring, but quite warm, and it was very pleasant to hear. Of course, what surprised him the most was that the meaning of these words, could it be that the son meant that he chose this place for himself?

Thinking of this, Gu Beiqing's heart skipped a beat. The first emotion that surfaced was surprise, but he quickly realized that he turned around first.

I saw a young man walking slowly in front of him. He was dressed in a snow-white fox fur, only one face was exposed, even his neck was nestled under the warm fluff, and he was wearing a thick brocade gown underneath, showing his body The figure is slender, and the step by step is also quite elegant.The reason why he only showed his face is because he was holding a hand warmer in his hand. The hand warmer was wrapped in a brocade jacket that was open on both sides, and his hands were placed inside.

But it doesn't make people feel exaggerated at all, and it looks childlike.

Gu Beiqing glanced at his face, and knew why such rumors were spread that day, and it was not a rumor. After recovering from his senses, he lightly cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I can't afford it."

Chi Yuan had long expected that Gu Beiqing would have such an attitude. The smile on his lips still did not disappear, but he took Gu Beiqing to continue walking forward, and said as he walked, "Oh? Do you think the place here is not good, sir? ? If you think there is something wrong, just say it, and let them change it someday.”

Gu Beiqing didn't expect Chi Yuan and him to play a child's rascal, and couldn't help but think of the youngest son in the family, and couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he hurriedly waved away this thought, how could he put the eldest son and his own child together.Gu Beiqing followed Shizi's footsteps, and said: "Your Highness knows that what I said is not what I mean, this place is of course good, and it is the mansion that His Highness personally chose. It's just that he is wearing a sinful body next time, and he didn't think about it. Be a nobleman's doorman."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan looked up at him in surprise and said: "Sir, I misunderstood, this son just wants to teach me to read some words of saints, it would be better if I could know more about saints Yes, I never thought about raising disciples or anything like that."

In this way, I was thinking too much, Gu Beiqing thought to himself, but he never said that he wanted to be his husband.So Gu Beiqing said again: "His Royal Highness, may I ask why you chose Gu as your husband? Gu is now a grassroots person, and he was once a sinner. As for teaching and educating people, he has never done anything before. What's more, he is talented. Superficial, it is really difficult to take on such a heavy responsibility!"

At this moment, the two of them had already entered the courtyard. There were more than ten wing rooms, large and small. Chi Yuan walked into the study room that had been cleaned up. There are about four floors.

In ancient times, the value of books was very high, because the cost of paper was very expensive, and there were very few people who could read and write. It is comparable to gold.

Seeing this cabinet full of books, Gu Beiqing couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly. Although he wanted to bring all the books he treasured with him when he returned to Beijing this time, the journey was far away and he didn't have much money. It can only fit one car, even if it is so, it took all kinds of hardships to pull it back to the capital.

So seeing so many books, Gu Beiqing's mind has long been attracted, and then Chi Yuan said: "Don't I know Mr. Gu's talent? Mr. Gu was the first in the exam, and later After becoming an official, because of his outstanding achievements, he has been promoted again and again, and my husband deeply admires my son for his knowledge and talent. It is a great thing to have someone like Mr. as my teacher."

Hearing what the other party said, Gu Beiqing

I also know that this son has already checked all his experiences clearly, and what he emphasizes is not his exam results that year, but what he has done in his position. It is also obvious what the other party really wants to learn.

Because of this, Gu Beiqing's heart also jumped up. This prince should not be underestimated. There is not only a gully in the opponent's heart, but also the world, and his identity is still very dangerous. We shouldn't be wading through this muddy water.

However, Gu Beiqing still added one more sentence: "Oh, so to speak, His Royal Highness still has a lot to learn, but unfortunately, I cannot teach you. My identity is sensitive, and His Royal Highness is also so special, there is really nothing I can do."

Chi Yuan smiled slightly. He put the hand warmer cover on the table casually, arched his hands, and said very respectfully: "The student knows what Mr. The purpose of the students is just to find a way to live in the court and the court. Sir and I, and I and the husband are just teacher-student relationships. Besides, don’t you want to know more things from me? You are an interesting person My dear, since you have come here, sir, it is already an answer, right?"

Hearing this, Gu Beiqing couldn't help but smile on his face. Of course, he came here with a long-term plan. After all, although he is upright, he is not a pedantic person. Who can afford the 300 taels of silver? Well, just send a servant, and his wooden box does not contain the 300 taels of silver.
