The Emperor’s chosen student proved to be exceptionally skilled, demonstrating a firm grasp of concepts and a solid foundation in mathematics.
They completed the elementary school curriculum within just a week.
However, the pace slowed down when middle school geometry, physics, and chemistry were incorporated into the lessons.
Meanwhile, three months had passed since the court examinations, and Gu Chengye, seeing no job offer from the government, decided to visit the Marquis’ residence.
Zhou Ying, occupied with changing Chenchen’s clothes, received the notice and, after a brief pause, invited him to wait in the outer courtyard. She then carried Chenchen outside.
Gu Chengye stood up upon seeing them approach. “Sister-in-law, sorry to bother you,” he apologized.
“Second Brother, please have a seat. The child just woke up and is a bit fussy. I apologize for the wait,”
“No worries. Chenchen is growing quickly! It’s only been three months, and he’s already gained seven or eight pounds.”
“Indeed, he has quite an appetite. If not for the summer heat, he’d be a little plump by now,” Zhou Ying agreed. “Speaking of, are you here to see Chengrui today?”
“You can say that. It’s been three months since the exams, but the court hasn’t offered me any suitable positions. I wanted to ask if you had any insights.”
“I see. The Emperor previously spoke with you privately, so we assumed arrangements had been made.
“However, in all honesty, I haven’t been closely following court matters lately, as I’ve been busy with family, the manor, and our business.
“Chengrui, on the other hand, has been tirelessly teaching students under the Emperor’s orders. He wakes up earlier than a chicken and sleeps later than a dog, leaving him no time for court affairs.
“Therefore, we haven’t paid much attention to your situation. Nonetheless, since we’re aware now, we’ll try to help you ask and update you if there’s any news.”
“Thank you. I’ll leave it in your hands then. I’ll head back now.”
“Alright. I won’t accompany you out with the child in my arms,” Zhou Ying replied before instructing Qiuxiang to bring him out.
Later that night, Zhou Ying informed Gu Chengrui about their visitor. “What are your thoughts? Should we try to help?”
Gu Chengrui, visibly surprised, responded, “Not yet. I believe the Emperor has something else in mind for him.”
After a moment’s hesitation, he added, “Why don’t we send him a letter tomorrow? If he’s available, he can assist me temporarily. I don’t believe the Emperor will keep him waiting indefinitely.”
“Do you think he’ll object to helping you?” Zhou Ying questioned.
“If he does, then let it be. Things have changed since four years ago. Many scholars are still waiting for their assignments. He’ll have to be patient.”
“Alright, I’ll inform him of that first.” Zhou Ying responded before promptly calling for food service.
Upon receiving the letter the next day, Gu Chengye readily agreed without hesitation. He arrived at the hospital that morning and observed his brother, Gu Chengxi, working diligently.
A pang of envy washed over him. He then proceeded directly to the backyard and located Gu Chengrui’s office. Finding him alone, he knocked on the door.
Gu Chengrui looked up, saw him, and stood up, saying, “Second Brother, come in and have a seat. It so happens I have something for you.”
“Oh, what is it?” Gu Chengye inquired curiously.
“These are some complaint letters,” Gu Chengrui explained, pushing a small box towards him. “Please help me sort them out and summarize the issues..”
