"aunt!"

On the way back to Yongshou Palace, Zhuang Yuexi couldn't help but stopped Concubine Zhuang.

Concubine Zhuang glanced at her sideways: "What's the matter?"

Zhuang Yuexi is a noble lady of the dealer, dignified and quiet, and the aunt just now was a bit gaffe.

Knowing that she was wrong, Zhuang Yuexi handed the flower basket in her hand to the court lady on the side, carrying the skirt to catch up with the concubine Zhuang, and whispered: "Yue'er has gone wrong, auntie please punish me."

Concubine Zhuang did not get angry and said prestigiously: "You have been wrong since you just saw Miss Zhuang. After all, what hate or resentment do you have with others?"

"There is no hatred." Zhuang Yuexi whispered.

Concubine Zhuang still doesn't know her niece? Since childhood, she has been the most distinguished daughter in the capital.

Gu Jinyu was not as famous as Zhuang Yuexi in his early years. However, he was first named the princess, and then shined in women's school, gradually becoming equal to Zhuang Yuexi.

Gu Jinyu is still not surpassing Zhuang Yuexi at the moment, but with Zhuang Yuexi's dignity, it is a failure to be with people.

Concubine Zhuang continued to move forward, and while walking, she said: "It's because of these things that you don't like County Master Hui? Auntie told you that you are the daughter of the dealer. You must have a high vision and a small pattern."

Zhuang Yuexi is not because of this.

Zhuang Yuexi lowered her eyes and said, "Auntie taught me a lot." After a pause, he said again, "But why does Auntie suddenly care about County Master Hui's marriage? Does Auntie want to be a matchmaker for her?"

Concubine Zhuang Gui smiled faintly: "My palace thinks, but she has to nod her head to agree."

Zhuang Yuexi was originally just trying to test her aunt, but she would get this answer: "Aunt...who do you want to marry her to? Big cousin? Or—"

Concubine Zhuang was silent but smiled.

Zhuang Yuexi's heart twitched: "Auntie, you don't want to marry her to your brother and let her be my sister-in-law?"

The dealer has several sons, but the only one unmarried is Jun Wang.

Concubine Zhuang did not admit or deny it.

Zhuang Yuexi's eyes suddenly panicked: "Auntie, she is not good enough for her elder brother! Is she a real daughter of the Hou Mansion, but a peasant girl from the countryside? Even if your majesty canonized her as the county head, it is just a good reputation. There isn't even a food town, what kind of county owner!"

Concubine Zhuang stopped, and the ladies of the court also stopped. Concubine Zhuang stroked a four-season osmanthus in the basket: "The county lord is indeed not worthy, but what if...she becomes the lord?"

Zhuang Yuexi was stunned.

On the other side, Mr. Gu Houye was once again called by Zhao Shangshu to the main hall where he handled official duties.

Gu Houye has been scolded badly recently, and his heart can't hide from the scolding again.

However, to Gu Houye's surprise, Zhao Shangshu's expression was so soft that he didn't seem to be scolding him at all!

Gu Houye: Huh?

When Zhao Shangshu saw Gu Houye, he showed his first brilliant smile in months: "Gu Shilang, how are you doing today?"

Gu Houye was bewildered by the look and tone of the boss's "do you eat well, don't dress warmly, travel inconveniently, and whether your child has difficulty studying".

He had no idea what the situation was.

Zhao Shangshu personally pulled Gu Houye's wrist and invited the person to sit down in a chair.

Master Gu Hou looked at the hand that was holding him, and wanted to tell him that a man or a man could not accept a kiss!

Zhao Shangshu said with a smile: "You are also true, you have given birth to such a promising daughter, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Gu Houye was completely out of the picture.

Zhao Shangshu smiled, and sighed: "You have made it difficult for me to hide it! What can I hide from such an important matter?"

"I, what am I hiding from you?" Gu Houye was confused.

Zhao Shangshu said: "The people from the military department just came here, and they asked me if the bellows was invented by your daughter?"

Master Gu Hou pointed to himself: "My daughter?"

Zhao Shangshu frowned: "Don't you know yet?"

Gu Houye shook his head like a rattle.

Zhao Shangshu said: "Then I ask you, do you have a daughter?"

Gu Houye nodded: "Yeah."

Zhao Shangshu continued: "Last summer, were you and your daughter in Qingquan Town, Youzhou?"

Gu Houye nodded again: "Yeah."

Zhao Shangshu said again: "Is your daughter Bingxue smart?"

Master Gu Hou nodded his head: "Yeah!"

His Jinyu must be smart! Play a little clever! If it weren't for women who were not allowed to end the imperial examination, his Jinyu could at least be a high school jinshi!

Zhao Shangshu patted the back of his right hand to the palm of his left hand: "Isn't this going to end? In that town last year, besides your daughter, is there any other daughter in the Hou Palace whose surname is Gu?"

Gu Houye understood what was going on when he heard this, and dare to believe that the court found a clue to the little girl.

But... haven't heard Jinyu say it before!

Gu Houye was not so eager for quick success and instant benefit to take credit for himself, so he decided to go back to the mansion to find Gu Jinyu to ask about the situation.

This matter was fermenting much faster than Gu Jinyu had imagined. She read only the sages' books and did not hear anything outside the window. She didn't even know what the invention of blast technology meant to Zhao Guo.

His Majesty seemed calm, but in fact he almost became a fool.

Liang Guo’s group of deflated calf gadgets only used a little inferior water drainage technology to replace their Zhaoguo mines. Although the two countries have not fought, this tone is even more unswallowable than defeated.

It's all right now, I'm proud of it!

Six parts have also been swept by this technology. Not only can it be used to make iron, but it can also improve the quality of metallurgy. How much is Zhaoguo? Gold mine!

Having said that, Zhaoguo has the lowest level of productivity among the six countries, so even if there are many mines, it is still a poor country.

Looking at the people's life seems to be going well, it is because the two emperors are still conscientious, did not squeeze the people violently, and have also given a lot of tax relief. The national treasury is actually too poor, otherwise, can you sell the degree from the Imperial College to Lin Chengye?

Half of the building donated by the Lin family to the Imperial College was taken into the treasury by His Majesty.

However, even though Gu Jinyu didn't know the movement of the court and Liubu, she also knew firsthand how people around her changed.

When she came back from the palace, the close-fitting maid told her that the female school officer had come, and asked her how well her body was recuperated, and when did she go back to class?

Gu Jinyu has been recuperating at home for so long, and the female officer does not come to the door early and late, but at this time, who can say that she was not instructed by the prince?

Could it be that the princess also heard about the bellows?

It's not surprising to think about it, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang have heard of it, can the Crown Princess not hear about it?

After that, several daughters who had made friends with her but were alienated from her because of her life experience returned. They came to visit her at the mansion, talking and laughing, as if the unhappiness had never happened before.

Why is this?

It must be their father, who was an official in the court, who sent them to her to find out about the truth.

If she is really the inventor of the bellows, no one can look down on her no matter how low her birth is. She has done a good deed that benefits the country and the people, and even your majesty will praise her.

But what if the real inventor comes out again someday?

Gu Jinyu fell into entanglement.

When Gu Houye returned to the Hou Mansion, Gu Jinyu was packing her big box.

The box was filled with small things she wrote, painted, and made by herself. Yao did not throw them away, but kept them for her.

She moved back to her yard and took out all the papers she had written. She wanted to see if she had actually been inspired by the bellows.

"Jinyu, what are you doing?" Gu Houye came into the room, looked at the manuscript paper, and asked wonderingly.

Gu Jinyu raised a slightly embarrassed face and said, "I'm looking for something."

"What are you looking for?" Gu Houye walked in, "Father will help you find it."

"Sketch." Gu Jinyu said, "a sketch similar to a bellows."

"Are you talking about this?" Gu Houye bent over and picked up a piece of drawing that was sandwiched between the pages of the book. On the drawing, a slanted box was drawn in a very tender way. There was something that didn’t know whether it was a handle or a lever. Three or two floors, at first glance, look a bit similar to the shape of the bellows.

Gu Jinyu doesn't even know what she painted.

But it's definitely not a bellows.

But...a bit far-fetched to go up, it is indeed like a prototype of a bellows.

"Jinyu, did you really invent the bellows?" Gu Houye asked.

Gu Jinyu didn't rush to answer Gu Houye's words, but said: "Father, what did the people in Liubu say? What clues did they find?"

Master Gu said: "It is said that it is a girl with the surname Gu, who is related to the Ding'an Hou Mansion. She should be the daughter of the Hou Mansion. Ah, yes, she is fourteen or five years old."

That's right, the Ministry of War has been to the front line, and there is a very useful age in the clues have heard.

This basically matches Gu Jinyu.

Gu Jinyu had a bold guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she went to Yao's courtyard.

Yao is making clothes for Gu Jiao.

"Mother." Gu Jinyu walked over. The excitement in her heart made her ignore Yao's clothes. She squatted down, grabbing Yao's hand and asked, "Has my sister been here recently?"

"What's wrong? Are you looking for something to do with her?" Yao asked.

Gu Jinyu shook her head: "No, I haven't gone to women's school for many days. I haven't seen my sister. I want to ask how she is doing."

The female school is next to the hospital. Gu Jinyu goes to school and occasionally meets Gu Jiao, but the two have little communication. In the hospital, apart from the Zhuangjia sister, no one knows that she is a sister with a medicine boy in the hospital.

Speaking of her daughter, Yao's eyebrows are full of spoils: "Your sister is pretty good, but recently your brother-in-law just finished the Chunwei exam, she was a little busy."

Gu Jinyu didn't care, what good fame can a poor boy in the country take the exam? Unlike Junwang An, he will definitely get the first place in the exam.

When King An gets the first place in the exam, the hairpin will be given to her.

"Is your body better? I heard that you entered the palace today." Yao said.

"I'm okay, I should have come to please my mother first, but Mother Qi urged me, so I had to go to see my aunt first, mother don't be angry with me."

"No." Yao said.

"By the way, mother, you didn't throw away my old manuscript paper, right?" Gu Jinyu took out a few pieces of paper that he used to paint when he was a child, "the same as these."

Yao asked, "Didn't you take it all?"

Gu Jinyu said, "I mean those in the villa."

Yao explained: "These are brought from the villa."

Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes: "Then... has Sister ever seen these things?"

Yao shook his head: "I haven't shown it to her."

Gu Jinyu raised her head to look at Yao Clan: "Then did she look at it by herself?"

Yao asked weirdly: "What did she do with your stuff?"

It's not a kid anymore.

Children wouldn't do this either. Gu Yan never looked through Gu Jinyu's things when he was a child.

Gu Jinyu smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. She is my sister. My sister has a cold face. I know she actually cares about me."

Yao said: "She cares about you and she won't turn over your things." Jiaojiao is a good polite boy.

Gu Jinyu stopped arguing with her mother, turned off the topic and said something else, before Yao was sleepy.

Yao is always sleepy lately.

Gu Jinyu gave her mother a good rest.

After walking out of the yard, Gu Jinyu suddenly muttered, "No matter who it is, it must be inspired by peeking at my drawings!"

Little maid: "Miss, what are you talking about?"

Gu Jinyu ignored her. She was convinced of her conclusions and never worried about revealing herself.

That's right, she is a genius girl in Zhaoguo, and others just stole her inspiration!

She is the real owner!

The next day, Gu Jinyu went to school.

Sure enough, the daughters who had alienated her all rushed to flatter her once again.

"Miss Gu, I heard that you invented the bellows of the imperial court. Is this true?"

"Yeah, yeah, is it true?"

"Hurry up and say something!"

At the gate of the female school, Gu Jinyu was blocked by the daughters. Although everyone was inquiring, the expressions in their eyes were already calm.

Otherwise, Gu Jinyu pretended to be ill at home for so long, wasn't it because he came to school suddenly?

Gu Jinyu smiled modestly and said, "Your Majesty hasn't announced it to the public yet, so please don't talk about it."
