"Hello, Mr. Gu."

"Master Gu is here."

Gu Jingyun had just stepped into the Imperial Academy, and all the officials hurriedly got up to salute him, Gu Jingyun smiled and nodded, and only stopped to salute when he met someone with an official position higher than himself.

The other party will return a half salute.

Who doesn't know that he accepted a noble grandson as his disciple yesterday?

Gu Jingyun walked to his office, and the subordinates inside hurriedly stood up and saluted, "I've met Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingyun nodded, smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Only then did everyone put down their hands, straighten their waists, stare at him and wait for the admonition.

"Everyone continue to do the work of the bachelor in charge today, and I will talk about it when I have an order."

Everyone agreed, and then they took their seats.

Huang Wei saw a slight smile outside the window, turned around and entered the door, cupping his hands and said, "Master Gu, Mr. Jin is here to invite you."

Gu Jingyun hurriedly stood up and bowed to salute, "Master Huang."

Huang Wei is his uncle's classmate and good friend. Although he is currently in the same position as him, Gu Jingyun wants to treat him as a senior.

The two went to see the head of the Hanlin Academy together, that is, Jin Wan, a bachelor in charge.

As soon as Gu Jingyun left, his subordinates immediately got together and said in a low voice: "The bachelor in charge calls for someone, just send a clerk to come. Why do you need Mr. Huang to come in person?"

"It's to remind Master Gu. Master Huang and Cabinet Qin are good friends in the same department. How many years do you think he has suppressed Gu Huaijin?"

"Lord Gu is really pitiful, his son has a higher official position than him."

"Fortunately, the undead just happened to overwhelm him. You said that when Mr. Gu and the emperor asked for an official position, was it unintentional or intentional?"

"Oh, why do you call him Master Xiao Gu again? Didn't he just get angry a while ago?"

"Isn't this for the sake of distinction?" the man said indifferently, "When the father and son were officials in the same dynasty, the son was not the younger father's generation?"

"That's the kindness of the father and the filial piety of the son. It doesn't apply to the Gu family. Be careful, we are still under Mr. Gu's hands."

The man rubbed his chin and said, "Since you can't call Mr. Xiao Gu, then you can only call Mr. Gu, otherwise, wouldn't it be a mess?"

Everyone's expressions became strange, and they all nodded in praise, "Good idea, good idea."

Officials in the Imperial Academy, even if they are just clerks, are better at reading than their peers.

Gu Huaijin was in high spirits when she was in high school, because she married a good wife and had a good brother-in-law, so she was even more popular than the number one scholar back then.

The No. 1 Scholar was only selected as the editor of the sixth rank, and he, the editor of the seventh rank, also walked in front of the imperial court. It can be said that he was both noble and showed his face in front of the emperor. officials intersect.

How many people hated him back then but had no choice but to interact with him with a smile on their face?

But looking at it now, Gu Huaijin is almost like a transparent person in the Imperial Academy. Even if he is only a small official of the sixth or seventh rank, when he sees him, he just takes a step back and respectfully, and he has no friends.

Many people expressed their understanding of Gu Huaijin's practice of divorcing his wife and dividing the boundaries between the Qin family. After all, the situation was fierce back then, and the emperor was extremely angry. No one knew whether it would affect the Gu family.

But understanding does not mean agreeing.

Facing his uncle who promoted him, and his wife who loves him deeply and has no regrets, he can just throw it away. Who would dare to believe him?

Moreover, Gu Huaijin's performance back then was too perfect, Qin Wenyin was the number one talented woman in the capital, and with such a family background, the capital is full of talents, except for the royal one, who would not want to embrace a beauty?

The Gu family is nothing more than a marquis, and in the eyes of scholars, it is not as valuable as a farming and studying family.

But back then, so many people blessed them because Gu Huaijin chased his wife vigorously, and his talent surpassed that of his peers, and he had a deep affection. A concubine, she does not accept a roommate, and treats Qin Wenyin wholeheartedly.

As a result, he remarried less than two months after divorcing his wife, and the new wife gave birth in June after entering the house. The premature son born in June looked healthier than Gu Jingyun, who was born prematurely in August. Who is to blame?

No matter how good and affectionate Gu Jingyun was before, how much everyone despised him after the incident happened.

All his former classmates and friends avoided seeing him, let alone these colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

It's okay on weekdays, but there are conflicts at work, and I can't help but sneer in my words, what are you afraid of, the Gu family is a military commander, and they have nothing to do with their civil official group, I'm afraid he's a bird.

Therefore, Gu Huaijin was the most unpopular person in the entire Hanlin Academy. If it wasn't for Gu Jingyun, everyone would have brought up the events of the past in front of him.

Gu Jingyun's subordinates are taboo, but Huang Wei is not. He said to Gu Jingyun: "Your father is my subordinate, and now your official position is still higher than him. Do you want to transfer him to you?"

"No need," Gu Jingyun curled the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile, "Gu Xiuzhuan is so talented, how can I steal someone's beauty?"

Huang Wei felt a little regretful. Seeing that he was about to arrive at Jin Wan's office, he stopped and said, "You don't have to worry. Although your qualifications are low, Mr. Jin will not make things difficult for you. Most of the Hanlin in the Imperial Academy are also I won't make things difficult for you. You can tell Mr. Jin clearly what you want to do."

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, "I know, because of the Qin family."

Huang Wei nodded, looked at him deeply and said, "That's right, because of the Qin family."

Because of the Qin family's prestige among scholars, the Imperial Academy would not make things difficult for him, and because Mr. Jin is Qin Wentian's student, he would not make things difficult for Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun bowed his hands to Huang Wei and walked into Mr. Jin's office.

As a senior member of the second rank, the head of the Hanlin Academy has a super-large office room, which is elegantly furnished. No one who looks at it would think that the person who arranged this office was just a landlord in the suburbs of Beijing forty years ago. Small sharecroppers of firewood.

If Qin Xinfang's life is a love-hate relationship between family and country, then Jin Wan is a very pure inspirational classic and a model of hardworking students from poor families.

Gu Jingyun entered the door and bowed to Jin Wan, "I have seen Jin Zhangyuan."

Jin Wan turned around from the window, looked at Gu Jingyun, who was tall and tall, and sighed slightly, with a smile on his face, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Sit down."

He sighed: "From your grandfather, you should call me uncle."

Gu Jingyun is as good as others, "Uncle Master."

Jin Wan's eyes were reddish, and he turned his head to the side.

Qin Wentian had taught many students, but in the real sense there were only twelve disciples. Apart from those who were no longer in this world, there were still seven existing ones, and he was the biggest one.

Not only is he an early teacher, he is also the oldest.

He was already twelve years old when he became a teacher, and Qin Wentian was only eighteen years old at that time, and had just entered Songshan Academy to teach.

Jin Wan used to be called Jin Wanliang instead of Jin Wan. His father was crazy about money, so he gave his brothers the same names. His second brother was called Jin Yinwan, and his third brother was simply called Jin Shan. up.

But no matter how good the name is, their family is just a tenant farmer, or a tenant farmer who doesn't even have a piece of land.

After a year's work, the land rent is paid, and the small tax is paid. The remaining grain can be eaten with chaff for a year when the year is good. Can only eat one meal.

Because he couldn't keep up with his nutrition, he looked seven or eight years old when he was twelve years old, and he had to herd cattle for the landlord's family during the slack.

Destiny is such a strange thing, there are so many cattle grazing places, he chose Niutou Mountain that day, and made up his mind not to go home at noon, so he met a group of people who couldn't make a fire but didn't bring servants He was invited to help start a fire for a picnicking kid from a rich family. Seeing how clumsy they were, he helped them cook.

They added to the chaos and said things he didn't understand.

He has always been courageous, and he would ask if he didn't understand, so the gentle and gentle man explained to him in detail what the poems they said meant and where the allusions they used came from.

He had never heard of those, and his greatest wish was to be able to eat a meal of dry white rice or white steamed buns.

He liked what they said very much and found it very reasonable, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.

So in order to understand, he deliberately drove the cow to a private school when grazing the cow in the future, tied the cow there, and secretly lay on the grass outside the private school to listen to the teacher's lecture.

He has learned several poems and can recite the "Three Character Classic". He thought he was proud of himself, so he went to Niutoushan to guard the group of rich children. Sure enough, he saw them again, so he ran to find the young man and told him I will recite it myself.

The young man smiled and gave him a copy of the "Three Character Classic", but he was illiterate and didn't know how to use the book.

Only then did the young man realize that he could only memorize and could not read, so he was silent for a while and said: "The heart of learning is more valuable than intelligence, and a child can be taught."

Then he asked him if he would like to study with him.

Forty years have passed, and Jin Wan can still remember his heartbeat and hesitation at that time. The young man did not force him, saying that he was willing to wait for him to make a decision slowly.

He is the eldest son in the family, and his family has no money, how dare he decide to study?

It is only possible for a family to give up a scholar with all their efforts, and that is still a family with land and property. Why should a tenant farmer in his family who has no real estate send him to study?

So he didn't decide to go, and the young man didn't force him, but started to teach him how to read. Every five days he would come to Niutoushan to teach him. In less than a year, he finished reading and memorizing the characters in "San Zi Jing" "Thousand Characters".

Then he brought gifts to visit his parents, took him out of the house and sent him to Songshan Academy, where he began to enroll.

He paid for his clothes, shoes, socks, board and lodging, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, and repairs since he was studying. He taught him to read, teach him to be a man, and even taught him how to support the family...

He is the oldest of the twelve disciples he has accepted, and he is also in the worst condition, but he expends the most energy.

Jin Wan has never dared to forget his teacher, and naturally he will not forget the teacher's only pair of children.

When something happened to the Qin family, he didn't intercede. He didn't even send a letter or a tael of silver to Qiongzhou in these years.

But both Qin Xinfang and Gu Jingyun respected him very much.
