"Yes!" Gu Youyou nodded and said.
"Do you know how they plan to deal with you?"
This was precisely what Gu Youyou couldn’t figure out. It’s just an uncle, a poor relative, so what if she, Gu Youyou, was snobbish and looked down on poor relatives, what could they do?
Besides, she, Gu Youyou, was not that kind of person. There were reasons why Erya and her brother did not acknowledge their father.
If she couldn’t figure it out, she would just put it aside. Gu Youyou sighed and said, "When the troops co, we’ll counter with generals; when the water flows, we’ll block with earth. Anyway, it’s not my Silver being spent; let’s see what Pri Minister Zhang plans to do with ?"
Counting the days, there should be about ten days left before Pri Minister Zhang’s house arrest is lifted, right?
He cannot leave his residence now. Before his house arrest is lifted, he cannot cause any trouble.
"Let’s go, we’ll first deliver this dicine to Madam Ru, and then check on how Jin Ziyuan is doing."
...
Zhang Shiyu was astounded to hear that Pri Minister Zhang surprisingly registered that little beggar to partake in the imperial examination.
She hurriedly found her father and said, "Dad, aren’t you being too kind to those two beggars? The old beggar keeps taking Silver from the Accountant’s Office every day, and it’s increasing day by day, do you know that?"
Pri Minister Zhang responded indifferently, "I know!"
Zhang Shiyu rolled her eyes and said, "Fine, the old beggar is for our grand plan. Dad already ntioned that this money is considered spent on big matters, so let’s leave it at that. But why did you register that little beggar for the imperial examination? What can a beggar possibly achieve by taking the exam? Can he demand more Silver by participating in the imperial examination?"
Pri Minister Zhang cast a cold glance at his daughter and said, "Since when did you beco so petty? It’s just a small effort on my part."
"Why help him? Look at that beggar father and son, strutting like they own the place in our ho, almost the equals of the masters."
"This is only temporary, Shiyu, you must hold your patience!" Pri Minister Zhang said calmly.
"But a beggar taking the imperial examination, and recomnded by you, Pri Minister Zhang? If he fails, wouldn’t that be so embarrassing? Dad, you rarely recomnd anyone for the imperial examination, and even the worst one you’ve recomnded beca a successful laureate. You can’t let your lifelong reputation be ruined because of your sympathy for a beggar. Dad, are you getting more muddle-headed with age?"
Pri Minister Zhang burst into a proud smile and said, "Since you know your dad is formidable, what is there to worry about? Your dad’s judgnt has always been accurate, there’s no mistaking it!"
Zhang Shiyu looked at Pri Minister Zhang incredulously and said, "So, does that an Dad thinks that little beggar has so scholarship? But isn’t he a beggar?"
"Silly girl!" Pri Minister Zhang slowly said, "There is no such thing as a born beggar. Look at Gu Shuisheng, how does he look like a born beggar? He fell into destitution only after experiencing so mishaps. Judging by his appearance, I believe he led a wealthy or noble life, and his knowledge isn’t too bad. He’s quite talented. This year’s candidates don’t have anyone exceptionally brilliant. Maybe if he’s lucky, he could even beco the top scorer."
Zhang Shiyu detested that beggar father and son, but has been tolerating them because of the need to deal with Gu Youyou.
Now, hearing her father praise that little beggar so, she felt uneasy.
She originally had a sense of superiority in front of the two beggars, but if the little beggar really lucked out and beca the top scorer of this imperial examination, how could she flaunt herself before them?
Pri Minister Zhang naturally understood what his daughter was thinking, and rely said, "If he indeed becos the top scorer, he will naturally be grateful for your dad’s recognition and guidance. It would only benefit us with no harm."
