Chapter 198 Another Year of Spring
However, she did not expect to be promoted this time, and always thought she would have to wait a few years.
Fortunately, he got promoted. Their Gu family will be more valued in the capital, and the family members will be looked up to by others when they go out.
Her parents will be happy if she gets promoted. Although their family is rich now, the salary will increase after she gets promoted, and the benefits are still pretty good.
Lin Wulang was even happier when he heard that Gu Yao had been promoted, because with the promotion, the children in his family would also be favored by others.
Even if his son marries into the Lin family, he will be respected even more by his parents' family.
"Ding Miao, the whole government will give you three months' salary. Ask the kitchen to make some more delicious food tonight so that our family can celebrate."
The entire Gu family was in a joyous mood. Lin Wulang even thought about holding a banquet at home in a couple of days to appreciate the winter jasmine flowers. After all, it was spring already, and it was a good opportunity to get in touch with relatives and friends at home.
Lin Ye was very envious after hearing this. She didn't expect that her aunt had been promoted again.
This is a fourth-rank official, and if she is promoted again in the future, she will be a regular fourth-rank official. This is a threshold she has crossed, and she thought that her aunt would be able to become a second-rank or first-rank official in the future.
"Xiao He never thought that my aunt was such a powerful official. It is really my blessing that I can marry my cousin."
Lin He is Lin Ye's servant. He was happy to hear her words. The more powerful Doctor Lang's family is in the future, the better off his wife will be.
"Madam, why don't we buy something for our cousin? This will show your love and let him know that you always have him in your heart."
Jin Ye thought about it and said, "You are right. Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion later. The men there should like jewelry very much."
The Lin family is also rich now. Although not as rich as the Gu family, they can still afford some jewelry.
Her family gave her a lot of money when she came to Beijing this time. Although she couldn't afford to buy a house, she could still afford jewelry, fabrics and clothes.
It would be her intention to spend more money to buy her cousin some jewelry, or even buy something for other people in the Gu family.
When Gu Yao came back in the evening, the Gu family became even more excited, especially Lin Wulang, who looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.
"My wife, congratulations on your promotion. From now on, our house will be the residence of a fourth-rank official."
Wang Qiqi didn't expect that Gu Yao would be so good at being an official. Now she has become a fourth-rank official, the highest-ranking person in the entire Gu family.
Even her good friends were not as high-ranking as her, which made her happy.
I had heard from his mother before that his mother-in-law was a very good person and an official.
Before he got married, his mother told him that it was possible that his mother-in-law's official position was higher than the fifth rank, but he didn't believe it at first.
His mother has been an official for so many years, and it is very difficult for her to get promoted. After all, there are so many talented people in the court, and it is impossible for her to always be promoted.
It’s amazing how soon I’ve returned to the capital and I’ve already been promoted to a higher level.
However, the higher his mother-in-law's promotion, the better it will be for them.
In the future, people will look up to him when he goes out, and even his daughter will be the granddaughter of a fourth-rank official.
"No, no, it's just that the Shangshu-sama appreciated me. We've cooked so many dishes today, let's sit down and eat quickly."
The Gu family was bustling for a long time that night, and Gu Yao also rested in Lin Wulang's yard that night.
They have been in a cold war for so long, it is time to go back to his yard, otherwise Lin Wulang will be embarrassed.
She is now from the fourth rank, and Lin Wulang and others' imperial edicts will also be upgraded by one level.
Lin Wulang was so excited when he saw Gu Yao coming to his yard, his eyes turned red, and he quickly bowed to her.
"My dear wife, I was wrong before. Please don't be angry. I just want Ah Yue to be happy. My dear wife, please forgive me."
She didn't have time to watch him cry. In fact, her heart softened and she knew that Lin Wulang didn't understand what was in her heart.
He just felt that Gu Yue would be happier if she married Lin Ye.
Gu Yao held him in her arms and said, "I'm not angry with you, but you must tell me first if there is anything in the future. Don't act first and ask for my permission later. After all, we are husband and wife, and we are a family. If you hide everything from me, what will happen if something goes wrong in the future?"
When Lin Wulang listened to Gu Yao's words, he knew that she was still distressed, and he felt happy.
He nodded quickly and said, "My dear wife, I know I was wrong, and I will never do this again."
"Okay, let's get settled. It's getting late, and I have to go to court tomorrow."
Gu Yao became a fourth-rank official, and her position in the job would move up one step.
Although it is still outside the door, at least it is closer to the door, and it won’t be too cold even in winter, so I am still quite happy.
After watching and listening to Chao Gu Yao all morning, I felt dizzy and a little tired from standing. When I sat down at my office, I felt relieved and warm.
The Spring Examination is coming soon. Fortunately, she has nothing to do and the Ministry of Works will not be too busy, so she can do her own thing.
The Spring Examination is approaching and the Gu family is quite nervous. After all, there is a scholar in the Gu family who is going to take the imperial examination.
Gu Yue prays to Buddha every day, hoping that the Buddha can bless Lin Ye to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
He was not an ignorant person, so he naturally knew that after his mother gave birth to Guan Guan, the gap between his family and the Lin family became increasingly larger.
If Lin had not passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, some of his good friends might have laughed at him, saying that he had married a woman who was only a Juren.
Although he didn't care whether Lin Ye was a juren or not, it would be embarrassing to go out generally speaking.
After all, the Lin family was a poor family and they had worked hard to get back on their feet. What would they do if there was no one to become an official in the future?
In fact, he is also vain. After all, his eldest sister's family is an official. If he finds someone who cannot be an official, how will the brothers get along in the future?
Gu Ning was also busy, after all, he had to take the imperial examination since his dream began.
He was busy almost every day, but fortunately he was very confident in Congmeng's knowledge and believed that he would definitely pass the exam.
Moreover, she is pregnant now. Although she is busy, she has servants by her side, and they will naturally do the work. He only needs to sit there and give orders.
Gu Yao was also waiting for this news. After all, someone in their Gu family also had to take the imperial examination. One was her daughter-in-law, and the other was her future daughter-in-law. She felt a little nervous just thinking about it.
After the exam, Lin Wulang looked at Gu Yao worriedly and said, "My dear wife, do you think Ah Meng and Ah Ye can pass the exam? It would be great if they can pass."
"Let nature take its course. If they are admitted, their names will be on the list. If they are not admitted, it will be the same if they wait three years to take the exam again."
Lin Wulang was a little unhappy when he heard this: "After three years, won't it be a long time to wait? They are so old now, and they will be unhappy if they fail the exam."
He knew that Lin Ye had taken the exam twice, and if he failed again, people would really laugh at him.
Gu Yao said immediately after hearing this: "Okay. Believe that they can do it. Don't you know their abilities?"
Lin Wulang naturally knew about this, and felt much happier after hearing it. Then he went to worship the Buddha, hoping that the wives of his two sons would be on the list.
