Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 222 Tang Qiu Arrives

Tang Erlang was a little worried when he heard this: "Will my wife agree? If she doesn't agree, what can we do? We are just servants."

Although Tang Erlang is sometimes lively and bold, he does not dare to challenge authority.

But he thought that she was his niece after all. If she passed the imperial examination, he and his brother would be more respected in the Gu Mansion.

"Why don't we give it a try? After all, Xiaoqiu is also a juren. Look, aren't the people from the Lin and Han families also in the Gu family school? What's more, Xiaoqiu is just staying here for a few days."

Tang Dalang thought about it and said, "Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, forget it. At worst, we can pool some money to send Xiaoqiu there and let her rent a good house in the capital so that she can concentrate on her imperial examinations. I'll send a few servants over to take good care of her."

In fact, Gu Yao is very good to the men in her family. She is willing to entertain them when they go out or when relatives come over. As long as they are not too rude, Gu Yao will turn a blind eye.

Butler Lin Wulang is the same. As long as they don't challenge his bottom line, he is willing to be nicer to them.

Two days later, when Gu Yao came to see him, Tang Dalang carefully told her about this matter.

"Wife, can I ask you for a favor? My niece Xiaoqiu is here to take the imperial examination, and I thought she has nowhere to stay. Can she stay at our house and attend classes at the Gu Family Academy for a few days? Is that okay?"

He was still very nervous, afraid that she would be unwilling or even scold him.

If he is willing, everyone will be happy. If he is not willing, he should just behave himself in the future.

Gu Yao was fine. She smiled when she heard his words and said, "Your niece has already taken the imperial examination and became a juren. That means she is quite talented. Let her live in Gu's house. She can also attend classes at home when she has time. Let her study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination."

Gu Yao likes to sponsor such scholars. After all, she knows that it is not easy to be a scholar, especially for a family like the Tang family.

I know that her family has risen now and has a scholar, but they cannot be compared with those people in the Lin family and the Han family.

Tang Dalang was very happy to hear that Gu Yao was willing to let his niece come to study at Gu's house, and thanked her: "Thank you, my wife."

He was really grateful to Gu Yao. He also knew that he was just a servant and his mother's family could not be considered as formal relatives of the Gu family.

His wife was still willing to let his niece come over, and he was very grateful.

"No need to thank me. She is your niece and she is also a scholar. I still want her to come to Gu's house. Please write to her and ask her to come earlier. Otherwise, if it is cold and snowy next year, he may not be able to move."

When Tang Dalang knew that she was willing, he immediately wrote a letter to the Tang family and asked Tang Qiu to come to the capital immediately.

Tang Qiu was very happy when she received the letter: "Mother, mother, my uncle asked me to go to the capital, and also told me to study at Gu's home school, and wait until next year to take the imperial examination."

Madam Tang was very excited when she heard this: "That's great, your uncle agreed. You must be discerning and careful when you go there. Don't cause trouble for your uncle, you know? After all, your uncle is just a servant."

"Yes, I know. I guess my family is willing to agree to this because of my uncle. I will live there well and won't cause any trouble to my uncle."

"We all rely on your two uncles for everything we have today. When we leave, I'll bring some things with me to send to your two uncles. Although our family doesn't have much money, we can still give them some things."

Since he became rich, he also gave gifts to Tang Dalang and the others.

Although the Tang family cannot compare to the Gu family, this is also their intention.

It also lets them both know that their parents’ home still remembers them.

The Gu family also knew that they had a mother's family. After all, they would send gifts almost every once in a while. They sent food and daily necessities. Although they were not worth much, their things were pretty good.

Tang Dalang and his friends also gained some face in the family and were happy.

Lin Wulang also knew that Gu Yao agreed to let Tang Dalang and his niece come to live in the Gu family, and it was said that she was also a juren.

"Ding Miao, I didn't expect the Tang family to get up as well. I still remember that when they came here, they were dressed in rags and looked pale and skinny. If they hadn't been living in the Gu family, they might have starved to death."

Lin Wulang knew that Tang Dakan's family was indeed poor before. They had a boy student, but it was worse than having no boy at all.

I had felt very sympathetic towards them before, but now I am happy for them.

Their children are also the children of the Gu family. If their in-laws are too bad and can't be helped, it will be a shame for the Gu family.

The Tang family became successful thanks to the Gu family, otherwise how could they have the money to send their children to school?

"It can be considered that their family has a talent for having a juren now, but it is still not as good as my cousin. My cousin is now a sixth-rank official and has a bright future.

Lin Wulang was happy to hear his words and said with a smile: "I hope so. It would be great if I could get pregnant with a child soon. I am only worried about him now."

"By the way, take some time tomorrow to clean up the yard next to the Han family in the front yard. The cousin of the Tang family will live there in the future. After all, they are scholars, and he will take the imperial examination soon. Send two more servants to serve there."

He was already very familiar with such matters, and he would not let his family lose face. After all, they came to visit the Gu family as a courtesy to the Gu family, not to mention that they were people of honor, so they naturally could not be neglected.

Fang didn't care whether the young servant was from his mother's family or not. Just like his wife said, having one more friend was always a good thing.

Maybe these people will be his daughter's helpers in the future, and he can't hold her back.

Ding Miao was already very skilled at this job. Now the Gu family had the children of the Lin family, the Han family, and now there was a person from the Tang family, so he arranged for people to clean up everything in a short time.

When Tang Dalang and the others saw this, they respected Lin Wulang even more. They thought it was a good thing to have such a doctor.

By the middle of next month, Tang Qiu had arrived at Gu's house and met Gu Yao.

Gu Yao glanced at Tang Qiu and smiled, "You look quite similar to your uncle and his family. Stay at home and ask the teacher if you have any questions. You can study at home for a few days. The rest is up to you. You will take the imperial examination next year."

Tang Qiu was very excited to see Gu Yao. After all, he was a fourth-rank official, and this was the first major hurdle she had encountered.

"Yes, Master Gu. I will work hard."

Gu Yao gave her a few more books and four treasures of the study and left. After all, she had a lot of things to do and it was good enough that he could come to see her.

Tang Qiu stayed at his aunt's house, and when he had time he would go to see Tang Dalang and Tang Erlang.

But they didn't meet often, after all, she was just a guest of the Gu family, and her uncle was a servant of the Gu family.

As an adult woman, it was not in accordance with the rules for her to meet Tang Dalang and the others every day.

Tang Dalang also knew this, so sometimes he and Tang Erlang would send her some things, but nothing else, after all, he still had servants serving her in his yard.
