Chapter 216 The Wind of Scrolls

When he came out of the palace, Guo Hao felt that his clothes were soaked. The day in August was still very hot, and Guo Yongning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband, why did you speak so much to your father just now? Are you not afraid that he will hit you?"

"I'm afraid, why aren't I afraid? But you don't think about it. We have two mansions in the future. Where do you want me to live?"

"this……"

Guo Yongning wanted to say that it would be fine to go to Li Fu's place, but she swallowed it again. She had just gotten married and really couldn't bear to separate from Guo Hao.

"It's hard to choose. Fu'er has been with me for so long, and Yang Mei is still so young. If I leave her behind, will you bear it?"

Guo Yongning subconsciously shook her head. She was not the kind of selfish person, so Guo Hao had to be prepared. Although Guo Wei gave a mansion, the whole family was going to be together.

"Okay, let's go home first, don't think so much. To be honest, I have raised the chefs in my house little by little. Fu'er and the others are used to my taste. If I change to a new place, I will still have to raise them again."

Guo Yongning nodded. She had eaten the food in the Guo family and the taste was really good. In terms of food, Chinese people have never stopped studying, so Guo Hao can proudly say that he is ahead of this era for thousands of years.

There are many dishes that Guo Hao taught step by step and could not cook outside. Chen Lin also said he wanted to open a restaurant, but Guo Hao said, "You ask me to accompany you in the chef?"

Chen Lin heard Guo Hao's tone and felt that it was really useful. Their current business is enough to make money, and catering is indeed not suitable now.

However, although Guo Hao was unwilling to say that, he still gave Chen Lin a recipe, but many of the ingredients needed to be collected, and many of them have not been passed on to China now.

When the two of them returned home, they heard hearty laughter, "Who is Chen Lin?"

Guo Hao walked into the room and saw Li Fu and Li Wanniang sitting together, while Chen Lin was holding a delicate little mirror and teasing Mei.

"Look at who this is?"

The little girl Mei obviously had never seen such a clear mirror. She frowned and looked at the person inside, and stretched out her little hand to grab it.

"Go, you think my daughter is a kitten, go and tease your son."

Guo Hao said as he snatched the mirror, looked at himself, and said happily: "Has it been successful?"

Chen Lin nodded with a smile: "It's successful. The method you mentioned is really useful. In addition to the mirror, there is also this one!"

As he said that, Chen Lin opened a box on the table, which contained a set of crystal clear glass cups. Guo Yongning was stunned.

Guo Hao walked up, picked up the glass, looked at the sun, shook his head and said, "It's not perfect, there are bubbles inside, but now it's just the beginning, and it will get better and better in the future."

Chen Lin nodded when he heard this. He was calm on the surface, but in fact he was very excited. That was not glass, it was clearly a treasure pot!

Guo Hao put down the glass, then looked at the few people, and said, "I said, why are you all looking at me? Is there any flowers on my face?"

Guo Yongning laughed at him, then felt a little abrupt, then walked to Li Fu and pulled the two into the inner room.

At this time, Chen Lin smiled and walked to Guo Hao: "Gangmaster, there is something I don't know if I should say..."

"If you don't know if you should say it, don't say it. The glass has come out. Shouldn't you go to the workshop to stare at it!"

"Don't worry, our brothers are watching, but a few fellow villagers came to me and they gave me a few poems and essays. I looked pretty good, why don't you take a look too?"

As he said that, Chen Lin took out several scrolls with names on them. Guo Hao didn't react for a moment, so he took them over and saw that there were several poems.

"The exam hasn't started yet, what are they doing for me at this time!"

Chen Lin said with a smile: "When the exam begins, it will be too late."

"How could it be..."

Guo Hao was halfway through his words, and suddenly understood what Chen Lin meant. He threw several scrolls on the ground, and snorted coldly, "What do you mean?"

Seeing this, Chen Lin was stunned and then reacted, saying, "It's nothing else, just a few fellow villagers from Jiangnan. I heard that I have a good relationship with you, so I want to ask you for advice."

"Please give me advice? I think I'm going to go through the back door. How much did you charge them!"

Chen Lin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he stuttered: "No, not much."

"Not much is much!"

"Each person, each person is five hundred stale..."

Bang!

Guo Hao slapped Chen Lin with one hand, which scared him to death. Guo Hao pointed at Chen Lin, got up and walked two steps.

"Chen Lin, Chen Lin, you didn't make enough money in business. Why do you still need their money!"

Chen Lin felt dizzy and hurriedly said, "I, I am just for the sake of my fellow countrymen. Moreover, the book of the book is the custom of imperial examinations. I am just the beauty of adults. If you don't want to, I can return it."

When Guo Hao heard the word "成成" and calmed down, he sat back in his seat, and then signaled Chen Lin to sit down.

Guo Hao had just got angry, but Chen Lin dared not sit there. He just put his butt on the side, and Guo Hao continued to say it.

"This is the first encore in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is of great importance. I am deeply trusted by Your Majesty. How dare I cheat?

The custom of running scripts has existed since ancient times, but don’t you think it is a bad habit?

If you want to pass the imperial examination, you must have a powerful bureaucrat to recommend it to the examiner so that the candidates can have hope of success. Therefore, before the examination, they are busy paying attention to the courtesy, presenting articles, and giving gifts, and also calling it "seeking friends".

Some people even simply ran to the bureaucrats' chariots and horses to show their sincerity. Can they write their articles well and express their ability?

Those students can become officials with recommendations, but what should those poor children do? They have no money and can’t give gifts, and no one recommends them. Should their talents be buried like this!"

Guo Hao was a little sad, and he didn't even know why this happened. Maybe it was out of responsibility, or maybe it was because he couldn't stand some unfairness.

"But sir, even if you don't accept these papers, there will still be others who will accept them. And during the time when you are busy getting married, some people say that the rankings have been set."

"impossible!"

Guo Hao slapped the table again, and the glass on the table fell to the ground, and it shattered with a bang. Three screams came from the room, but Guo Hao didn't even blink.

"I am the chief examiner, and I will also participate in the review of the papers in the future. I will not let people get away with it!"

Guo Hao put down this sentence and turned back to the study. Chen Lin stood there in a state of laughter and cry. He really couldn't understand why Guo Hao did this.

Li Wanniang walked out with the child, Li Fu and Guo Yongning followed behind, looking at the glass fragments on the ground, feeling a little distressed.

"Mr. Chen, we women don't understand the affairs of the court, but since my husband said that, there must be his reason. It's getting late. Please take Wan's wife back first. Xiao Chusheng is also sleepy. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

"All right."

On the way home, Chen Lin kept thinking about what happened today. It was the first time he saw Guo Hao getting so angry, and it was for a conventional habit. Even if their business failed, Guo Hao never blamed him.

Li Wanniang saw her husband's loss and persuaded her: "Husband, I think Mr. Guo is right."

Chen Lin looked at Li Wanniang in confusion. Li Wanniang continued, "You have been rich since childhood, and you may not understand the suffering of poor families. My younger brother also thought about studying when he was a child. It was because he had no way to do so that he felt that studying was useless.

Mr. Guo comes from a poor family. In fact, he is working hard to achieve his current status. You don’t know that when we rescued him, his heartbeat and breathing were gone.

Lord Guo has experienced so much, and with his talent, he can change his path, but he knows that the path cannot be done, so he can only work hard.

And how many people like Mr. Guo can have in the world, so I can understand his feelings. He is speaking for the poor."

"Talk for the poor..."

Chen Lin fell into deep thought. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Guo Hao has always attached great importance to ordinary people.

Whether in business or imperial examinations, Guo Hao never forgot about the people. He said that the people are the largest consumer group, and those high-ranking officials are likely to be just a temporary glory.

Guo Hao is right, tea has indeed penetrated into the people's homes. Although everyone makes not much money, small profits but quick turnover, and the benefits are indeed considerable...
