"I have only been in the capital for a short time. I am also a newly-appointed Jinshi in February this year. I am currently working on classics in the Hanlin Academy."

There was no need for Gu Yao to lie to her, so she just told the truth. After all, she was indeed a Jinshi.

"I didn't expect that Lord Gu is actually a newly-appointed Jinshi. It seems that I still know too little about the things in the capital. I have been traveling for study before, so I just came back this year."

After Lu Shuyi finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Gu Yao.

Gu Yao quickly asked her to get up: "Just call me Madam Gu, I am just an ordinary person now.

Lu Shuyi was deeply moved after reading it, because she was a juren and had not yet taken the spring examination.

Before, she was just a little concerned about her ranking, and she was also afraid that she would fail the imperial examination this time, so after passing the examination, she had been studying outside and had never returned to the capital.

She also came from a family of officials. Her mother was a minor official of the sixth rank in the Ministry of Revenue. A sixth rank official was already inconspicuous in the capital.

Fortunately, her family had a lot of land, which allowed her to travel outside all the time.

Now, hearing that Gu Yao was already a classic at such a young age, she really admired him.

The eighth rank official position is small, but at least the imperial examination tests one's ability and luck.

Moreover, listening to Gu Yao's words, we know that she was just a peasant girl before. It is obvious that she has paid a lot to climb from a peasant girl to the eighth rank.

Although Lu Shuyi has the arrogance of an official family, she does not think that she is first and others are second.

Her family only relies on her mother, and her sisters are not yet grown up.

Her younger sister is just a scholar, so she still wants to make friends with Gu Yao.

"I have always liked people with books, and it is my great fortune to meet Madam Gu today."

"It is fate that I can meet Madam Lu. If it weren't for Madam Lu, I probably wouldn't be able to step into this teahouse today. After all, this teahouse is packed every day. Even now, you have to make a reservation in advance to enter the teahouse. It seems that the economy of the capital is still very prosperous."

"This teahouse has been built for almost ten years. It has always been in a very prosperous area of ​​the capital. I heard that the owner of this teahouse also has an official background, otherwise there would be no one looking for trouble."

Lu Shuyi is very familiar with this teahouse, and it should be said that she is also quite familiar with the capital city.

As a native of the capital, it can be said that there is nothing she doesn't know.

After a while, the people from the teahouse came and served the eight people a few plates of dim sum.

This is also the feature of the teahouse. Looking at these snacks, Gu Yao felt that the ancient people were very smart. They could make anything they wanted to make.

After all, being the upper class in ancient times meant enjoying life, and there was nothing they couldn’t do, except what you couldn’t imagine.

Moreover, the prices in this teahouse vary. The first floor is considered cheap, while the second and third floors are expensive.

Especially when a plate of dim sum costs one or two hundred coins, a cup of the most expensive tea sometimes costs several taels of silver.

She had heard of this teahouse, but had never been there. Usually she and her friends only went to some small teahouses.

I didn't expect that today I would have the chance to go into the teahouse with Ms. Lu to try something new.

The two of them talked a lot in this room, not only about their study abroad experiences, but also about their scientific expeditions.

After hearing this, Gu Yao sighed: "I didn't expect that Madam Lu actually went to so many places to study. It's really admirable. I only went to the south."

Lu Shuyi exclaimed when she heard it: "No wonder I always felt that Madam Gu was more familiar. It turns out that the Southern Travel Notes was written by Madam Gu. I really admire her. I also bought many copies of this Southern Travel Notes and gave them to relatives. They all said that it was very useful. They can see the customs and practices of the South without leaving home. Even my nieces like it very much."

"I just thought at the time that since I had seen the world, I might as well write about my study abroad experience so that other people can see the scenery of the south."

Gu Yao originally wrote this game partly for commemoration and partly to make a contribution to himself in the Hanlin Academy.

She didn't expect that so many people would buy it. It seems that what she heard before was correct.

Books in ancient times were very expensive. Even a travelogue would be very expensive if it sold well.

The Hanlin Academy is not as rich as the other six ministries, and even the benefits are very little. The students are willing to go to the Hanlin Academy just to climb up the career ladder.

Now Hanlinyuan is gradually becoming richer, and it is reasonable to give them more benefits.

I heard that many officials who borrowed money have found their lives much better and are no longer so poor since the Hanlin Academy improved their welfare.

"No matter what, this travelogue has been of great help to me. I seldom went to the south before, but this book has given me a lot of inspiration. I want to go to the south again to study."

Lu Shuyi looked at Gu Yao and thought that she shouldn't have just started at the eighth rank, but should continue to move up.

After all, if he continues to improve himself, he will probably write better books.

"I believe in Madam Lu's experience. She will be on the list of candidates for the imperial examination in three years. I hope to see her in the Imperial Academy next time."

Lu Shuyi was also very happy to hear Gu Yao's words. This was also the right blessing.

Moreover, I benefited a lot from talking with Gu Yao for a few hours. It turns out that being an official is different.

Gu Yao and Lu Shuyi were discussing some inspirations and talking. Looking at the night sky, Gu Yao said embarrassedly, "Madam Lu, it's getting late. I have to take my family back. After all, I have children around me, and I can't let them stay out too late. Please forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shuyi said quickly: "Madam Gu is right. It's getting late and I should go back. If I have time, please treat me again."

Lu Shuyi thought that this girl was already an official, but she didn't expect that she was so considerate. It really made her happy. It was a great honor to meet such a girl.

"Next time, please let me invite Madam Lu. I'll have to trouble you to explain more about the scenery of the capital to me then."

"Of course, I will wait for the girl's invitation when the time comes."

After Gu Yao said goodbye to Lu Shuyi, she went next door and told her mother that she wanted to go back.

Lin Wulang and his friends had a lot of fun today. Not only did they guess the lanterns and get fascinated by the lantern festival, they even got to taste tea and desserts from a famous teahouse in the capital, which made them reluctant to leave.

They knew it was getting late and it was inappropriate to go outside, especially with the children around.

Looking at Gu Ping and the others, they were indeed almost asleep. She then arranged for the servants and her family to go downstairs and immediately returned to the Gu Mansion.

Gu Yao is naturally suitable to rest with Han Yuqing tonight. She has three husbands, and sometimes they take turns to come. After all, the rules cannot be broken. Once they are broken, there will be trouble later.
