The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

"Sir, I'm very busy with official duties, and you need to look after my grandson! You must not let him do anything foolish!"

Song Pu sighed slightly.

Although his two sons have now become important officials.

But the eldest son is a little dull and lacks talent.

The youngest son is indeed cruel and vicious, but his methods seem to be as sinister as those of a woman in the harem, which is not presentable. His achievements are destined not to be great.

What worried him most was his grandson. He was too cynical and liked to use the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion to fool around. Who knew if he would turn into a tyrant one day?

Upon hearing this, Master Wu hurriedly bowed and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely have someone keep an eye on the young master."

"Well!"

Song Pu nodded, then his eyes turned slightly colder. "Also, we can't let our guard down over Gu Jingzhi either. The palace should find a solution. I feel like this is quite unusual!"

"Yes! Prime Minister!"

……

Gu Jingzhi carried some food and a jar of wine and slowly returned to his home.

Before entering the door, he saw Lao Huang standing outside. When he saw Gu Jingzhi, he hurried forward and asked while taking the things in his hand, "Sir, why did you take so long?"

Although Old Huang was just a servant, he knew something about the procedures after the horse parade. Gu Jingzhi had been out for almost two hours, which was much longer than before.

"Your Majesty is testing me on knowledge, it's a little late!"

Gu Jingzhi just replied lightly, then smiled and said: "Come, I bought some food today, let's have a good drink!"

When Old Huang heard this, he immediately laughed out loud!

The emperor's examination of his son's knowledge shows that his son's talent is deeply loved by His Majesty, which is a good thing.

The master and servant packed up briefly. It was already late, and Gu Jingzhi was a little hungry. He took out two bowls and filled each with wine: "Come on, Old Huang! Congratulations on your son's admission to high school!"

"hey-hey!"

Holding the wine bowl, Old Huang said shyly, "I'm just a servant. Drinking the wine poured by the young master, this requires..."

"Alright, alright! We're the only two here now, why are there so many rules? Just eat and drink as much as you want!"

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, then picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.

Old Huang was still somewhat restrained, and his cautious nature in the Marquis' Mansion had not yet changed. After taking a small sip, he looked at Gu Jingzhi and said:

"Sir, if Madam knew you were in this situation today, she would probably be smiling in heaven!"

lady……

Of course, Gu Jingzhi knew that the lady that Old Huang was talking about was the biological mother of this body, Lin Wan.

After hearing Lao Huang mention it several times, Gu Jingzhi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Lao Huang, this husband... my mother, what kind of person is she?"

The original owner had almost no memory of his biological mother, only a vague figure.

When Old Huang heard him ask, he immediately smiled and said, "Madam has a gentle personality and is well-educated. Her knowledge is not inferior to those talented men. She would have been a famous talented woman in her time!"

"Young Master has won the first place in the imperial examination today. Perhaps he has inherited Madam's intelligence..."

Uh……

It sounded like he had said something, but it also sounded like he had said nothing.

Gu Jingzhi didn't think too much about it. After all, his biological mother passed away early, leaving no memory of the original owner. He held the bowl and said:

"Come on, let's have another drink! From now on, we won't have to endure the wrath of that marquis's mansion anymore!"

"Hey!"

Old Huang held the bowl in both hands and clinked glasses with Gu Jingzhi again.

Drink it!

Old Huang wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "Young Master, you have passed the imperial examination today. If you have nothing else to do, you must go to Ningzhou to pay homage to your wife and comfort her spirit in heaven!"

"Ningzhou?"

Gu Jingzhi frowned. "Why do we have to go to Ningzhou? The Gu family's ancestral tomb isn't there... No, my mother's tomb?"

"He didn't enter the Gu family's ancestral tomb!"

Old Huang's brows seemed to be filled with both sadness and anger. He said, "After my wife passed away, the Gu family actually sent her coffin back to the Lin family in Ningzhou, which is also my wife's family..."

"what?"

Gu Jingzhi put down his chopsticks with a clatter, and said with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "Isn't my mother Gu Heng's original wife? How come she can't even enter this ancestral tomb?"

"But I don't know!"

When this matter was mentioned, Old Huang's eyes turned red: "I have never been able to understand this from the beginning to the end. And you, my lord, have been treated poorly in the mansion many times..."

"and many more……"

Old Huang's words reminded Gu Jingzhi that even if he, the eldest son of the Ning Marquis's mansion, was not well-liked, it was unreasonable for even his biological mother to...

He looked at Old Huang and asked, "Old Huang, tell me, when my mother passed away, were there any rumors in the mansion?"

"This……"

Old Huang shook his head: "Apart from Madam Song's rather disrespectful words, there are no rumors in the mansion that are unfavorable to Madam Song."

"Then why is it so?"

Gu Jingzhi frowned. After hearing Old Huang talk about this matter today, he was 100% sure that there must be some hidden secret.

Otherwise, as the eldest son, he was not treated well and even his biological mother's grave was sent back to her parents' home for burial. How could this be possible in the world?

Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, we have never seen such a thing!

Old Huang still shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

He simply said, "Since the Madam passed away, you have been practically confined to your home. Even my uncle from Ningzhou, who wanted to visit, was stopped outside the Marquis' Mansion and not allowed in!"

"Snapped!"

Gu Jingzhi slammed his hand on the table and gritted his teeth, "Is there such a thing?"

"Sir, it's more than that!"

Old Huang smiled bitterly and said, "The Ningzhou Lin family was once a wealthy family, but since the young lady passed away, they have been getting worse day by day. And because Ningzhou is so poor, they seem to have fallen on hard times now!"

As he said this, he lifted the bowl and took a big sip.

"From the old man down, the Lin family is a rare family of good people. Although they are a large family, they never bully their neighbors. This reputation is excellent, but I didn't expect..."

"Ugh……"

Old Huang sighed again, looking a little lonely.

Gu Jingzhi listened, but kept organizing the information about Ningzhou in his mind.

Ningzhou is located in the northwest of Daxia. When Daxia was founded, it belonged to a small country called Yunguo at that time, with a land area of neither large nor small.

It seems that twenty years ago, there was an unusual rebellion in the Yun Kingdom, which led to internal division, and no one from the royal family was left alive.

The territories of the six states close to Daxia were returned to Daxia, while the territories of the nine states further north were all given to the northern Beili Dynasty by the rebel generals of the Yun State at that time.

Gu Heng was the general of Yun State who brought the six states of Yun State to submit to the Great Xia Dynasty. He was also granted a title of nobility because of these six states.

Ning Hou... Ningzhou...

The marquises of Daxia, except for the king, only have titles and salaries, but there is no such thing as fiefdoms.

But this Marquis Ning...

"Old Huang, the Gu family is from Ningzhou?"
