Chapter 1066
1066 Chapter 1066-Rou Jia
That night, Cai Xiaolian told Gu shouxin what she thought about during the day. She even smiled and said, ” “I’ve been trying to make money with Enzi, but in the end, I still have to tiptoe for little Xinxin.”
Gu shouxin knew that Gu en would write a story book for Gu Ren without doing his job properly. He had already found someone to help Gu Ren write it, so he would let Gu en write it by herself for the time being.
After all, Gu en was going to take the path of the imperial examination. He could not let Gu Ren, a future person with countless stories in his head, change his mind!
When Gu Ren heard Gu Xin’s idea, another thought appeared in his mind. Monthly magazine? then could he start kun city daily?
This thought only appeared for a moment before he rejected it.
The people who lived in kun city were not necessarily willing to spend money on newspapers, and not everyone could read. Most of them could not even read all the words.
It was much better to run a monthly magazine. If you took the manuscript out of kun city and brought it to the various state capitals, it would take at least a month to get there on a horse.
Hence, he readily agreed to Gu Xin’s suggestion and even urged Gu en to ask for half of the content from Gu Xin.
He could serialize and write short stories.
One book a month, even if one book had ten stories, it would not be much.
……
It was almost the end of March, and the sister and brother’s monthly publications had not yet finalized the final edition when someone from the capital came.
That morning, Gu Nian and Huo Yanyu were about to ride to the laboratory outside the city when they saw a group of people coming up the main road.
From afar, Gu Nian felt that the person in the lead looked familiar. After taking a few more glances, the horse began to speed up.
Gu Nian then realized that the person was none other than Xue Qianyu.
The morning sun shone on his body, making his entire temperament gentler than usual.
He still had that unsmiling look.
Xue Qianyu approached her on his horse. As he looked at Gu Nian, his expression softened.”Where are we going?”
Gu Nian’s heart was beating a little unsteadily as she replied, ” “Follow misty rain to the laboratory.”
Xue Qianyu pursed his lips and smiled. don’t go. Let’s go back! he said.
Gu Nian was confused.
Xue Qianyu looked at her confused expression and his smile deepened. “The Emperor has a decree for you. You need to receive it personally.”
“Oh,” Gu Nian replied.
Huo Yanyu teased,”second brother Xue, did you do it on purpose?” My brother wrote you a letter and told you about my daily life with sister niannian, and then you deliberately came to stop us so early?”
Gu Nian looked at Xue Qianyu.
Xue Qianyu replied calmly,”I just left early this morning.” I thought I should ask the city guard where your lab is so I can go find you first. Who knew that we would meet at the city gate.”
“It’s fate!” Huo Yanyu laughed.
Gu Nian and Xue Qianyu did not respond to her.
Xue Qianyu’s carriage team caught up with them. After verifying their identities at the city gate, the group returned to the Yamen.
Initially, Gu Nian had thought that Xue Qianyu had come with an imperial edict. To her surprise, there was a eunuch in the carriage. Gu Nian had never seen the eunuch before, but he treated her very well.
When they arrived at the Yamen, everyone in the Gu family had come out to receive the edict.
The emperor’s imperial edict granted three titles. One was Gu Nian, who was given the title of Princess Rou Jia, and the other were grandfather and grandmother Gu.
The Imperial edict meant that the old couple had taught their granddaughter well and allowed her to make cement, which was beneficial to the country and the people, so Grandpa Gu was conferred the title of Xi Bo and grandma Gu was conferred the title of fifth grade Yi.
Previously, after Gu shouxin became the top scholar, the Emperor didn’t know the Gu family’s status at that time, so he gave grandma Gu and Cai Xiaolian the titles of seventh-rank Merman and eighth-rank Merman respectively. Now, grandma Gu’s status had risen.
