A family of three travels through time together, and the golden finger is turned on
Chapter 470: On the list
"Xiao Ju, I missed you so much." After the results were announced, Wu He immediately rushed over with her family after learning that Gu Liang was on the list, and ranked first. They definitely had to celebrate today.
"Sister He, you're here by chance. Hahaha. I was just about to ask someone to bring you some snacks." Ji Xiaoju was also very happy to see Wu He.
One of the reasons why Wu He liked Ji Xiaoju was that after being polite at the beginning and after they got to know each other, Ji Xiaoju never called her "Princess". She was not the Princess of the King of Chu, nor the mother of the Crown Prince, but just Wu He.
"Hahaha, I knew this was such a happy occasion, you guys would definitely have a great time celebrating it."
"I haven't taken part in the palace examination yet, so it can't be too lively. I just thought of making some cakes to celebrate, and then inviting you over after the examination is over." Ji Xiaoju had 100% confidence in Gu Liang's ability.
But it is not customary to open champagne at halftime. If nothing else, it will make the emperor think that you are arrogant. No matter how talented you are, if the emperor does not select you, you will not be able to become the top scholar.
"I know you're not the type to show off, so just think I miss you. I've recently researched a new dish and can't wait to share it with you." Wu He didn't say much. She really loves cooking and has learned a lot since meeting Ji Xiaoju. She recently researched a tofu recipe and has been wanting to discuss it with Ji Xiaoju for a long time.
"Okay, then I must try it." Ji Xiaoju happily walked towards the kitchen hand in hand with Wu He.
The King of Chu could only look at Gu Liang sadly.
"Can you control your wife?"
"Is it possible that the princess is looking for our Xiaoju? Our Xiaoju is going to study hard and take the imperial examination. I won't let her be trapped in the kitchen all the time!" Gu Liang replied rudely.
"Hey, it turns out it's our Xiaohe's fault."
"No, it's your fault. Who told you to enjoy yourself so much?" Gu Liang still knew the root of the problem.
"Huh? What does that have to do with me?" The King of Chu was stunned.
"If you didn't love food, I wouldn't have married Sister He as my princess. If you didn't love food, you wouldn't have taken the food we made for Big Brother home with you. Sister He wouldn't have known about Xiaoju's cooking skills, and she wouldn't have been so eager to meet her. She wouldn't have..."
"Stop, stop, stop! You're such a shrewd eloquence! I hope you'll be just as articulate during the palace exam!" The King of Chu couldn't bear to hear any more. Could Gu Liang really tell the difference between a great prince and a lesser one? He was the King of Chu, the Emperor's younger brother, the most favored and most prestigious prince!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your good wishes."
"I didn't praise you!"
"I can hear it."
"Okay, okay, if I let you have a bite of food today, it will be considered as my generosity!"
"Then the prince must have enough stomach to support a boat!"
The Prince of Chu was already fifteen years old. He tapped his head with the fan. His father really couldn't tell the difference between the young and old princes. He had gotten away with it that time at the hands of Uncle Gu. Never mind. I can't stop him anyway. Forget it, I'll just go find Uncle Liu.
The Prince of Chu turned around and thought that his most reliable Uncle Liu had already started to add fuel to the fire.
"Cancan, how are you doing with your studies recently?" The prince looked around and found that the most reliable person in the entire Liu Mansion was actually this eight-year-old girl!
"It should be okay. No matter what I do, Uncle Liu always just praises me. I can't even tell if he's really good or just pretending." Gu Can was also helpless. She really wanted to hide her shortcomings. After all, she was only eight years old. She didn't expect Liu Fengan to be so unreliable.
"Then let's go, I'll go and show you." The Prince of Chu thought of Liu Fengan's love for Gu Can, and also thought of his own mother's similar state when she mentioned Gu Can. But who can blame this little girl for being so popular?
"Thank you very much, Prince." Gu Can looked at the several young masters behind the prince and could only sigh at the love between the King of Chu and Wu He. The couple had five children in total. The eldest was the Prince of Chu, who was fifteen years old this year. The youngest was the Princess, who was six years old this year. The second and third young masters were twins, who were eleven years old this year. The fourth young master was the same age as Gu Can and was eight years old this year.
The adults went off to chat, so it was natural for Gu Can to entertain this group of children.
Gu Can took them to the large study that Liu Fengan had prepared for her. It was funny to talk about this. Gu Liang and his team had already bought the house next to Liu Mansion. Of course, they also had the help of Liu Fengan and King Chu. Otherwise, it would be a pipe dream for ordinary people like them to buy a house here.
Even though the house paperwork had been completed and the renovations were complete, Liu Fengan threw a tantrum, crying and threatening to commit suicide, insisting they stay in the Liu Mansion. Even though they were separated by a wall, he still refused to agree.
Finally, there was no other choice but to open a door in the wall and merge the two houses into one. Knowing that the Gu family all loved to study, Liu’s house had a super large study room, which should be called a school!
The entire yard was used as a study for their family, and he also found a way to copy back various rare books that were available on the market or collected by wealthy families.
Naturally, they also accepted Liu Fengan's favor. Not only did they keep the house in order, but they also added low-level spiritual springs to the food they prepared to keep them healthy. Especially when they were working on a case, they would work day and night without eating.
Gu Can then had the task of delivering meals and supervising them while they were eating.
They were not unfamiliar with the library when they brought the Prince of Chu to it. After all, many of the rare books in it were donated by the King of Chu. There was no way the brothers would come to ask for it, and even if he refused, his wife would take it away directly.
However, since meeting the Gu family, he'd noticed that his own lively children had calmed down considerably. It was undeniable that the Gu family possessed a certain magical quality. Perhaps due to their early experiences, they cherished the ability to read and study. Simply being near them was a reminder of their vibrant vitality, and it was impossible not to follow their lead.
Given their family's status, he didn't ask for his child to be very successful. He would be thankful if he didn't become a dandy who looked down on others and took no prisoners. Now that he had met the Gu family, even his most boisterous little girl, the one he was most reluctant to discipline, had changed a lot.
This is also one of the reasons why the couple likes to bring their children to the Liu Mansion.
After reviewing Gu Can's homework, the prince found it was indeed very good, even better than his own. After a moment of frustration, he began to pressure his younger brothers and sisters to study together. Gu Can was determined to get the top scorer, so it was normal for him to work harder and excel.
Under the threat of the Prince of Chu telling his mother and Aunt Ji not to let them have lunch if they didn't study hard, the children had no choice but to sit down and read obediently.
"Cancan, after I finish writing today's big characters, can you continue to tell me the story that you didn't finish last time?" The Fourth Young Master looked at Gu Can eagerly.
"Then you have to write it carefully. If my brother the prince says it is not up to standard, I won't say anything." Gu Can answered very seriously.
"Don't worry, I will write it seriously. I will write it now." The fourth young master turned his head and glanced at the fierce eldest brother. Humph, he can't compare to Cancan, so he comes to bully them.
"We want to listen too."
"As usual, you have finished today's homework. I approve it. Cancan will tell you a story." The prince looked at his several troublesome brothers and sisters, and seriously displayed the majesty of an eldest brother.
