Chapter 197: Promotion from 4th Rank
She also knew that she was a little fussy, saying that there was a chance that they were fine and that sometimes she was just worrying too much.
She couldn't get over the knot in her heart. After all, there might be a problem.
Even if it happened, she had no choice but to agree.
Later, the Gu family all knew that Lin Ye and Gu Yue were engaged and would get married in the future, which made the Gu family very happy.
Zhu Xin looked at Han Yuqing and smiled, "Husband, in fact, the doctor and the Lin family all agree, it's useless for you to object, even the third young master agrees. If you object, the whole family will be unhappy, even the third young master will be unhappy and think that you don't want him to be happy."
"It seems that Doctor Lang got what he wanted. I didn't expect that he would actually marry Yue'er back to his family."
"In fact, although the doctor is doing this for the good of the Third Young Master, it is also for the good of both families. After all, the Lai Le family now relies on the cousin. If the cousin does not pass the imperial examination, or if she becomes a minor official after passing, the Lin family will be nothing more than a castle in the air. But now that she has married our Third Young Master, the ladies in our family will definitely help her."
Although Zhu Xin had never been to school, she knew some things after listening to Han Yu for a long time.
Naturally, he knew that being an official was not something that could be accomplished by one's own efforts. His wife was so smart, but she was only a fifth-rank official until now. If she had someone to help her, she would definitely be able to achieve more than that.
Han Yuqing nodded: "No matter what, they are a family of scholars. My family had to go through a lot before they could take the imperial examination. It really doesn't seem fair when I think about it."
Han Yuqing also knew the current situation of his mother's family, but no matter how smart he was, he couldn't take the imperial examination, so he could only endure it and wait for the next generation to grow up. "
Zhu Xin knew what Han Yuqing was thinking, and quickly said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, my husband. Anyway, the Han family will be able to become a scholar family in the next generation. As long as they study hard, they will definitely be able to wait for that day."
In fact, Han Yuqing didn't dislike it, he just knew that only by studying can one be respected. Although the Han family is rich, if it weren't for the protection of the Gu family, the Han family would have been taken over by others long ago."
The Han family also had to spend a large sum of money to please the county magistrate, just to be able to live a better life in the county.
He felt that Zhu Xin was right. As long as they waited a little longer, their family would become a family of scholars. He would definitely be able to wait for that day.
When the children of the Gu family knew that Gu Yue was engaged, they were all happy for him. After all, everyone knew that Lin Ye was a rare talent and that he would definitely have a bright future.
"Third brother, congratulations on finding a good wife. You will definitely live a good life in the future. And since you are marrying into your grandmother's family, no one will look down on you or bully you."
Gu Xing was quite envious. He didn't expect that his younger brother was engaged. He wondered when he could also get engaged.
Gu Yue was a little shy, but still said: "As long as she treats me well, it's fine, and this is also the decision made by Daddy."
Gu Xing suddenly felt a little jealous of him. After all, he also had Lin family blood. Why didn’t Grandfather miss him? Was it because he was not Grandfather’s biological son?
He felt a little sad when thinking about his biological father. He had never been liked by his biological father since he was a child, just because he was not a daughter.
Fortunately, his mother liked him, and his eldest uncle was good to him. He knew he shouldn't be jealous, after all, they were brothers.
After he went back, he felt more and more upset the more he thought about it, so he just lay on the bed and cried for a while. The servants beside him were worried, but when they saw him crying, they quickly got him some water so that he could wash his face.
"Master, if you are not so happy, why don't we go out for a walk tomorrow? I heard that the Treasure Pavilion has received a new batch of jewelry."
The servants could only advise him like this. After all, they didn't know why Gu Xing was sad. They also thought that he could marry the eldest master, who was his biological brother and would probably persuade him.
Gu Xing wiped her tears and said quickly, "No need, go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to eat. I'm hungry. I was just thinking about the storybook I read before, so I cried. Don't tell anyone."
He didn't want others to know that he was a little jealous of his third brother just now. It was really inappropriate.
He believed that his mother would find him a good husband, so there was no need for him to be jealous. After all, she was happy for him, as he was marrying into a good family.
The Gu family celebrated Gu Yue's engagement with great fanfare, and Lin Ye was naturally happy.
She didn't expect that her aunt would really marry her cousin, and she swore in her heart that she would be good to her cousin.
It can be said that she is really marrying up to the Gu family. After all, the Gu family is much better than theirs, and he is the only one in their Lin family.
If she fails, even if your family is rich, it is estimated that there will never be another person who can become an official.
Her sisters were not very talented, and it was already good enough for them to pass the examination and become a scholar.
Ever since Gu Yue and Lin Ye got engaged, Gu Yue seldom went out. After all, after the engagement one has to start preparing for the wedding.
However, Gu Yao thought that since Gu Yue was already engaged, then Gu Xing should also get engaged quickly. Otherwise, how could the younger brother get married when the older brother hasn't yet done so?
Then she found Lin Wulang and Han Yuqing and said, "If there are any banquets during this period, you can attend more of them. Our Ah Xing is about to get engaged, so find him someone with a simple family background and good character."
This is always her wish for her children, so Lin Wulang and the others also know it.
Lin Wulang also noticed that Gu Yao seemed a little cold towards him since Gu Yue got engaged.
Most of the time he went to Han Yuqing's place, or to other servants' place, and sometimes he only went to his place for a short time.
He was flustered, wondering if she was unhappy because he insisted that Gu Yue marry back to his family.
He was still a little angry. He didn't understand why Gu Yao was always unwilling.
He and Gu Yao are considered an old married couple, so he is not afraid of Gu Yao's anger, he is just a little sad.
But fortunately he persisted, and his Yue'er got a good marriage, which was also the happiest thing for him.
Although he was sad that Gu Yao married another maid's room, he didn't care much. He already had a granddaughter, so what was there to be afraid of?
Gu Yao just couldn't get over that hurdle. She still felt bad thinking about if something happened to her son in the future.
After the Chinese New Year, Gu Yao devoted all her energy to work. The Gu family had a good time that year, but Gu Yao was the only one who was worried.
Han Yuqing and the others naturally saw it, but they didn't know how to persuade her, so they had to let the younger generation in the family dress up to entertain their parents and make Gu Yao feel happier.
Gu Yao felt much more comfortable because of the younger generation. She was also doing well at work.
And by February, Gu Yao was promoted to the fourth rank.
Upon hearing that she had been promoted, Gu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. She had finally overcome this hurdle. She had thought that she would continue to stay in the fifth rank after her daughter was promoted.
