Lin Wulang boldly hugged Gu Yao's waist, lying in her arms and smiling happily: "I know that my wife is the best, but I don't have to work too hard at ordinary times, my family is already very good."

"It's not too hard in the Hanlin Academy, and there aren't too many things to do. I can still handle it."

And what Gu Yao said was right. After her travel notes passed into the hands of the academician, they attracted his attention.

Looking at the handwriting above, the academician sighed: "I didn't expect that Gu Dianji's handwriting is quite good. She deserves the title of Hanlin Academy Dianji. Moreover, her travel notes are quite detailed. Even if you don't go out, you can know what the situation in the south is like by reading this travel note."

Upon hearing this, Liang Shijiang said quickly: "Then the academician's travel notes should be distributed and sold in the study in the capital.

The academician smiled and said, "Of course you can, go down and arrange it, but give Gu Dianji the reward and give her the reward she deserves."

The academician is a very generous person. After all, although the Hanlin Academy is also an officialdom, most of its members are officials who like to be celebrities and read books, without the intrigues of the other six ministries.

Of course she was willing to give some rewards to Gu Yao, the people from the Hanlin Academy.

Upon hearing this, Yang Shijiang smiled and said, "Thank you very much. If Gu Dianji knew about this, he would definitely be even happier."

"Tell her to write more books that are beneficial to our court, so that the people of the world can read a variety of books."

"Mr. Academician, I will explain it right away."

Gu Yao was very happy to receive the reward and praise: "Thank you, sir. I will continue to work hard."

"Do your job well. The academicians have noticed your efforts and will not let you down."

Gu Yao was very happy. She suddenly felt that she had been very lucky along the way. The people she met were all nice. Although some of them had their own little thoughts, at least they were not bad people.

In fact, if Liang Shishuo had bad intentions in writing the travel notes, I would not get any rewards and would not be credited with any merit.

Looking at the cloths, snacks, and wine on the table, she thought that it seemed that her decision to join the Hanlin Academy was indeed a good one.

Although local officials can hold real power, someone like her without any background can only be sent to some poor places, and may not be able to accompany her family.

When Zheng Shuyi heard the news, he came up to her and said with a smile: "Ayao, that's great. You have done a great job. By the way, I have read your travel notes before. It is really good. Congratulations."

Zheng Shuyi was very happy. She didn't expect that her good sister would make such a contribution shortly after entering the Hanlin Academy.

I thought that she would definitely be evaluated by the end of the year, and it would be great if she could get a promotion.

"I just stumbled upon this. If I hadn't traveled to the south before, I might not have been able to write it."

Gu Yao looked shy, but it was because of traveling that she gained knowledge. She thought that it was no wonder that people in ancient times loved traveling.

Moreover, he was able to write a masterpiece every time he traveled. It is true that reading a book worth a thousand gold coins is as good as traveling a thousand miles.

After hearing this, Zheng Shuyi sighed: "If only I had traveled like you. I have only been to Beijing in the past ten years and have never been to other places."

It's no wonder, she is very experienced and has these insights because she has seen a lot.

"If we have a day off, we can go to the suburbs. We haven't seen the suburbs of the capital yet."

Zheng Shuyi's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's great, I haven't seen it, and we can also go to Wanfu Temple to burn incense. Wanfu Temple is the largest temple in Beijing. Many people like to go there to burn incense and see the scenery there."

Gu Yao thought that Wanfu Temple was indeed a famous place in the capital, and many women from high-ranking officials and upper-class families were willing to go there to burn incense and pray for peace.

"Let's go there when we have the holiday soon. No, I want to bring my family with me."

"You bring your family. I also want to eat the vegetarian food there. It will be more lively when we eat together."

Zheng Shuyi knew that Gu Yao was very good to her family and would always invite her family to join her wherever there was something delicious or fun.

She liked Gu Yao's loyal character. After all, it would be scary if a person was too heartless.

After returning home, Gu Yao told her family what she had done and the reward she had received.

Mother Gu was very excited when she heard this: "Ayao, good job. I didn't expect you to be so busy for this, and you even got a reward. Do you think you will be promoted by the end of the year? After all, this is really a great contribution."

Gu Yao shook her head and smiled: "That's hard to say. After all, I just wrote a travelogue. It's not a big achievement. It's just that Shangguan thinks I can do things."

"Even if you don't get promoted, at least you have a name in front of your superiors. It seems that you were right to want to be an official in the first place. Otherwise, you have made contributions not long after being promoted. It is really gratifying."

Father Gu smiled and said, "Today is another good day for our family. We will give the mansion two months' salary as a reward. Our A Yao has made great contributions. This is a great joyous event."

Father Gu became more and more proud. He never expected that his daughter would be so successful. This was something he had never dared to imagine before.

"Brother, our A Yao is really becoming more and more successful. Without her, we really wouldn't be able to live such a good life. When we go out and talk to others, they all envy our Gu family."

Little Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Lei were both flattering Father Gu. They were telling the truth. After all, they were Father Gu's biological daughters, and the thought of them made him envious.

However, they were also happy about their two sons who were becoming more and more like the daughters of wealthy families.

How could they not be happy when the child born from their belly is so outstanding?

When they thought that their two children would get married in a year or two, they felt happy but reluctant.

Seeing that Gu Yao had made great contributions, he thought that she would probably be promoted soon. The higher her official position, the better life his son would live.

Little Gu and Lei were thinking whether they should burn incense and pray for Gu Yao, asking the Bodhisattva to bless her to be a high official and have a smooth career.

That day, Father Gu asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food and filled the table.

"Today is a good day. Let's eat more delicious food. Our lives will get better and better in the future."

Gu Yao said: "Mom, I will take a rest in a few days. I have an appointment with Sister Zheng. I will take you to the temple to burn incense and have some fun."

Mother Gu smiled and said, "That's great. Your father and his family have been in the capital for so long and haven't left yet. Let's take a look at the differences between the temples in the capital and the prefectures and counties."

Xiao Gu and the others looked very happy. They mostly stayed in the backyard and seldom had the chance to go out.

Especially in the capital, they also knew that the rules in the capital were strict and men in the back house were not allowed to go out.

This is only possible if you only burn incense and attend banquets.

Now I heard that I can go to the temple to burn incense, and I am very happy knowing that this is a rare opportunity.

Ever since Gu Yao prepared to visit the temple, she has been working more actively.
