After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

On the second day, Gu Tingye asked Zhu Manniang to help him dress, gave her a few simple instructions, and then prepared to go to the Gu family to retrieve his deceased mother's belongings.

After Gu Tingye and Shitou left, Zhu Manniang had strange thoughts and tried to sneak out, but she was stopped by Nanny Chang and sent back.

Then he devised another plan. He pretended to dissuade Sister Rong from going out to buy candy, but in fact he secretly opened the bolt of the back door.

Afterwards, Rong Jie'er sneaked out without anyone watching, and Nanny Chang was so anxious that she just looked for someone.

Zhu Manniang took the opportunity to look for the child, escaped from Nanny Chang's sight, and ran to Ningyuan Marquis Mansion with Rong Jie'er in her arms.

He pretended to throw the gold lock necklace that Rong Jie'er was wearing in front of the Marquis's Mansion.

As a result, this scene was seen by Xiao Qinshi and the maid at the side door. They not only picked up the gold lock, but also arranged for people to capture Zhu Manniang and her daughter.

On the other side, after Gu Tingye and his companions finished packing their things and came back, they ran into the anxious Nanny Chang. After they discussed it, Gu Tingye realized that Zhu Manniang was probably captured.

He immediately brought the stone and made a scene at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. In the hall, the father and son finally had a falling out.

Gu Tingye was furious and pointed out that Marquis Gu married Bai in order to get a generous dowry from the Bai family to make up for the deficit of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and he deceived the entire Bai family, including Bai.

Gu Yankai refused to talk about this matter and only said that "no one has ever lied to her", but she did not dare to stop Gu Erlang from leaving.

Finally, he couldn't help but think: "Who started this argument with him?"

In a room next to the outer hall, Gu Tingyu, supported by his wife Shao, watched from afar what was happening in the front hall.

"Oh my god! When Erlang gets mad, he's terrifying even to the gods and ghosts! It's terrifying!"

"If Sanlang hadn't gone out for a drink, he would have been frightened and cried."

Mrs. Shao supported her husband and looked at what was happening in the front hall with a lingering fear on her face.

"He's so majestic. If he and I were born of the same mother, I would feel at ease leaving all the affairs of this hospital to him."

"What a bad fate. He was born to that bitch who killed my mother. Cough cough cough..." Gu Tingyu was so angry that he could only cough when he talked about this.

Speaking of this matter, the root of the problem actually lies with the late former Marquis of the Gu family and the current Marquis Gu Yankai.

The Gu family was in serious financial difficulty at the time, and in order to make up for their extra expenses, they set their sights on the Bai family, a wealthy salt merchant family in Yangzhou.

The old man of the Bai family has only one daughter, and the future family business will be handed over to the Bai family. For this reason, the old marquis of the Gu family asked his eldest son Gu Yankai to divorce his first wife, Da Qin.

As a result, Daqin died of shame and depression, while Bai married into the marquis's mansion and gave birth to Gu Tingye.

However, the person Gu Yankai loved most in his life was Da Qin. He often treated Bai, who was his wife, and Gu Tingye, who was his child, with coldness and indifference.

Later, he brought Da Qin's younger sister Xiao Qin into the mansion to take care of her. Xiao Qin often taught her sister's son that Bai was the one who killed his biological mother.

Therefore, Gu Tingyu extremely disliked Gu Tingye, the son of Bai, and often framed him.

Later, Bai accidentally learned about this and questioned Gu Yankai. After a big quarrel, the pregnant Bai suddenly went into premature labor and suffered hemorrhage and could not be saved.

In the end, in order to make up for the Dongchang Prefecture where Da Qin was, he helped his sister Xiao Qin become the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion, and she gave birth to the third legitimate son, Gu Tingwei.

This tangled and difficult matter can be said to be a tragedy caused by the old Marquis of the Gu family, Gu Yankai, and a group of elders of the Gu family.

Gu Tingyu himself doesn't know that he has been deceived yet, and just wants to kick Gu Tingye out of the Gu family as soon as possible.

Seeing Gu Tingyu coughing in anger, Shao hurriedly comforted him: "My lord, don't be sad that there is no successor. I have found a good girl for you. On a certain day..."

Before Shao could finish her words, Gu Tingyu interrupted her impatiently: "Forget it!"

Then he softened his tone and said, "My body is like a reed in the wind. Please don't bring harm to others."

"I feel so ashamed for marrying you. I am a burden to you."

Gu Tingyu looked at Shao with increasingly gentle eyes.

"No!" Shaw's voice choked.

"Being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life. No matter what you say, I will obey you."

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu patted Shao's shoulder with a look of satisfaction, and everything was said without words.

"We finally managed to defeat the second-in-command, so let's not say discouraging words." Gu Tingyu said with a faint smile.

"Hmm..." Shaw followed with a smile and nodded.

"I have a good appetite today. Please tell the kitchen to add two more dishes for dinner."

Gu Tingyu gave an order and walked into the room weakly and sickly.

"Hey!" Shao agreed.

. . . . . .

In Yinyanxuan, Han Mansion, Han Ming was busy looking through various documents related to politics, economy, military affairs, education, culture, social livelihood, etc. since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

These are the collections of books sent by my grandfather Han Zhang, my father Han Shipu, and even Han Zhang's uncles and aunts.

It was to enable Han Ming to have a broader understanding of the entire Song Dynasty and prepare for the upcoming palace examination.

Yes, it’s the palace examination.

The provincial examination, the metropolitan examination, and the palace examination are the three major components of the ancient imperial examination system.

Those who pass the provincial examination are called Juren, and the first one is called Jieyuan; those who pass the metropolitan examination are called Gongshi, and the first one is called Huiyuan; those who pass the palace examination are called Jinshi, and the first one is called Zhuangyuan.

Winning the first place in the provincial examination, metropolitan examination and palace examination is called "Sanyuan Jidi". Winning the first place in the provincial examination, metropolitan examination and palace examination consecutively is called "Lianzhong Sanyuan".

Passing the imperial examinations in the imperial examination system was the highest honor that ancient scholars aspired to obtain, but only a few ancient Chinese scholars were granted this title.

Among them, the palace examination was presided over by the emperor and tested policy questions.

Those who participated in the palace examination were the tribute scholars who passed the joint examination, and those who passed were called Jinshi.

The palace examination is divided into three classes. The first class is awarded the title of Jinshi, the second class is awarded the title of Jinshi Chuan, and the third class is awarded the title of Tong Jinshi Chuan.

Three people are admitted to the first class, the first one is called the top scholar, the second one is called the second place, and the third one is called the third place.

Han Ming was on the road to "three firsts in the imperial examination". He had already achieved the first place in the provincial examination and the first place in the metropolitan examination.

In the next palace examination, once you gain the recognition and selection of the current emperor, you will be able to achieve the first place in the palace examination and become the top scholar.

Even time travelers like Han Ming could not resist the glory bestowed upon this scholar.

In order to better achieve his goal, Han Ming also rarely cheered up, closed the door to visitors, and studied hard.

This made the entire Han family unanimously supportive. Even the serious Han Shipu rarely smiled and kept praising his son.

Han Ming lowered his head and flipped through various documents from the Zhenzong reign. The more he read, the more he frowned: "Heavenly Book Movement? Fengshan?"

"Tsk tsk, why bother..." Han Ming muttered to himself, with a hint of speechlessness in his eyes, but some things cannot be said out loud, just know it in your heart.

Just as Han Ming was immersed in the first-hand information about the history of the Song Dynasty, Yong Zeng suddenly accelerated around a corner from the outside, then braked suddenly and stopped at the door.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious?" Han Ming stretched his waist, picked up the tea and asked while drinking it.

"Something happened in the Gu family, brother..." Yong Zeng quickly told Han Ming what he had heard outside.

After a cup of tea, Han Ming sighed helplessly: "Everyone's fate is different, Zhong Huai will be fine..."

"Pick a few smart and capable people to keep an eye on that person called Zhu Manniang. If she makes any unusual movements, don't make any noise and report back to me."

Han Ming narrowed his eyes, and when he thought about the other party taking Chang Ge'er away, he couldn't help but be wary.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Yong Zeng clasped his hands together and saluted.

"By the way, I remember that you, Yong Zeng, have a younger brother. His name seems to be Yong'an, right?" Han Ming thought of something else and asked hurriedly.

"Yes." Yong Zeng couldn't help but smile when he heard Han Ming mention his brother.

"I heard that he is doing well in the Cao Gang?" Han Ming smiled slightly, feeling that the fate in this world is truly wonderful.

Gu Tingye has a personal bodyguard named Shi Tou, and his brother and sister-in-law are small leaders in the Cao Gang.

Yong Zeng and his younger brother Yong An, who were by his side, were also from the Cao Gang.

There is a one-year age difference between the two. Compared with Yongzeng's steady and reliable personality, the name Yong'an does not suit him at all. He is a smart and energetic man.

But the person Yongan has trusted the most since he was a child is his own brother.

"Thanks for your concern, brother. Yong'an is a big shot now. He has become the boss of the Jianghuai area." Yong Zeng laughed.

"Is he familiar with the salt gang near Yangzhou?" Han Ming asked.

"I don't know about that, but I'll write him a letter later to ask." Yong Zeng didn't quite understand what his young master meant.

"Okay, there's no rush for this matter, but you have to pay attention and make sure it's done." Han Ming gave an order and sent Yong Zeng away.

"Salt...blue and white salt..." Han Ming had a mysterious smile on his face.
