Then the butler moved the large boxes of papers to Gu Ran's courtyard according to the grand master's instructions. The maid Yun Rong didn't understand what she meant, but she saw that her little lady had someone set up a chair, and there were fresh fruit snacks beside her. , just under this courtyard, reading one article after another with great interest and leisurely.

To be able to get the honor of Juren and dare to come to the Grand Master's Mansion to deliver the papers, they all have a certain talent or self-confidence.

A large number of beautiful articles of various colors, with different opinions and strategies, opened Gu Ran's horizons.

Not long after, she saw an article signed by Xie Yuanchen.

After reading the whole article, Gu Ran believed that this person should be Xie Yuanchen, the future Chief Assistant of the Zhou Dynasty in Yuanshen's memory.

It seems that he is still the right-hand man of the emperor Li Jingling. Gu Ran didn't mean that he really wanted to poach the emperor's corner, but since he met such a talent, it wouldn't make sense not to recommend him to Father Pei.

As for what will happen next, that is unknown.

She read the scrolls of articles for a long time until all night, but it was Yun Rong who persuaded her again and again, and Gu Ran couldn't resist the sleepiness before she rested.

It's a pity that there are not many talented people's names in the memory of the original body, especially when he was a noble concubine in the previous life, the emperor strictly forbade the harem from being involved with the previous dynasty. If it weren't for Xie Yuanchen's reputation, the noble concubine would not have noticed. After that, carefully read other people's articles. After picking and choosing, found a few good talents.

On the second day, which happened to be Taishi Pei's rest day, Gu Ran came to the study with the article.

Now she is a frequent visitor to the study, and even Father Pei ordered her not to be allowed to come in and out of this place. The other guards also know that the Grand Master pays more and more attention to the young lady's attitude.

Gu Ran smiled slightly, "Father, these articles are well written, why don't you read them."

Hearing what his daughter said, Father Pei became a little interested, and took a look. It was Ping Haice written by Xie Yuanchen, about maritime embargo and trade.

Although it can be seen from the article that it has not been polished by the government, its talent and far-reaching vision can still be seen, pointing out that the South China Sea and the East China Sea are not barren lands in the eyes of the world. Only fishermen hunt and gather pearls. The sea ban will build a fleet of ships to carry out trade and commerce, and will have rich sea areas and various resources to grab more wealth for the country. In addition, it is necessary to guard against Japanese pirates from small countries who plunder people and goods.

His words are concise and hit the nail on the head, and such a bold and pioneering idea is exactly what Grand Master Pei wanted.

He had long intended to open the sea ban, but he put it aside because of the unstable transition of the throne in the past two years. In addition, the power of the aristocratic family in the South China Sea and the East China Sea is rooted, and he needs to be prepared enough to break the shackles.

Grand Master Pei may not be so approachable, but he definitely loves talents, and this article made him notice the name Xie Yuanchen.

Xie Yuanchen, who lives in a small rented courtyard, has been studying behind closed doors recently. Occasionally, friends come to visit and ask him what happened to the travel documents delivered to the Grand Master's Mansion.Xie Yuanchen shook his head, and smiled bitterly in his heart, probably because an unimportant person like him couldn't get into Grand Master Pei's eyes.

Just when Xie Yuanchen was about to put this matter behind him, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the courtyard.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Xie Yuanchen?" The visitor is over forty years old, dressed in an upright and polite manner, cupped his hands and said, "I am in charge of Pei's residence. My grand master appreciates your son's articles and wants to invite you to see him at the mansion."

………

It is never uncommon for a scholar to become famous because of his splendid articles and being praised by a high-ranking official for his talent. But if the big man he is looking at is Grand Master Pei, it will be really enviable if it gets out.

And the name of this young scholar, Xie Yuanchen, quickly spread throughout Capital City and caught the attention of many forces.

This is not only high talent, but also excellent luck. How could Grand Master Pei notice the talent of a small student under the high position and power of the day? There are countless papers that have been submitted to the Grand Master's residence in the past. It is so difficult to stand out among them.

It happened that luck was so good that Grand Master Pei 'accidentally' read the article he wrote, and after that he saw it a few times, and was very fond of Xie Yuanchen.

Gu Ran was not surprised that Grand Master Pei showed appreciation for Xie Yuanchen, and even attracted people's attention.

When Yuan was a noble concubine in her first life, Xie Yuanchen became the youngest chief assistant of the Great Zhou, and was also known as 'Little Pei Zhou'. In addition to the praise of his talents, it is also inseparable from the fact that his ruling style and philosophy of governing the country are similar to Taishi Pei.

So after only meeting him two or three times, Grand Master Pei fell in love with this young scholar, and felt that it was very suitable for him.

But listening to Yun Rong's rumors and gossip, Gu Ran suddenly thought of something, perhaps Xie Yuanchen would not be valued by the emperor in this life.

Now everyone in Capital City knows that Xie Yuanchen is favored by Grand Master Pei, which means that from this moment on, Xie Yuanchen will be branded as Pei's.

Unless the emperor Li Jingling is really open-minded and tolerant, or there are some great changes in the future, it is impossible for him to dare to regard Xie Yuanchen as a confidant.

In this way, she recommended Xie Yuanchen's article to Father Pei, which can be regarded as indirectly cheating him.

Life is always unpredictable, such a thought will just flash in Gu Ran's mind, so it doesn't matter.

Gu Ran didn't expect that the melon would end up on him after eating it. On this day, Pei's mother suddenly came to her residence. After retreating from the crowd, she asked with a worried frown, "I heard that your father has been very appreciative recently. A young student."

"It seems to be the case." Gu Ran nodded indifferently.

Unexpectedly, Mother Pei's next sentence surprised her, "Your father is not planning to meet your husband-in-law for you, is it?"

This is also rare for Mother Pei to see Grand Master Pei value a young scholar so much. She has no doubts about Father Pei's vision. During these years in power, he has promoted officials all over the court and all over the world. It wouldn't be surprising if saw a young talent liked and cultivated as a candidate for future son-in-law.

It's just that with Pei's mother's attitude of being above the top, she still doesn't think much of being from a poor family. Not to mention marrying into the royal family, her daughter, who is so charming and beloved, at least matches with the noble family.

Gu Ran didn't expect him to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Mother, don't worry, father just appreciates that Xie Juzi, not what mother said."

At least not now.

"Next year will be the year of Jiji. After the ceremony of Jiji, it's time to marry you. If your father didn't suddenly..." Mother Pei still couldn't help but think about it, "The queen in the palace It’s not certain who the seat belongs to.”

But in a blink of an eye, she looked at her daughter with a loving expression on her face. "Don't worry, my son, there are many good men in this noble and noble family, and mother will definitely choose carefully for you."

The corner of Gu Ran's mouth twitched slightly: "...Mother has worked hard."

Mother Pei thought to herself that she should collect the list and portrait information of all suitable candidates earlier, so as not to be caught off guard again by Father Pei and betroth her daughter to a poor scholar.

After sending Mother Pei away, Gu Ran sighed slightly.

She didn't expect that just some rumors would make Pei's mother think so, but it reminded Gu Ran that it was time to make the next plan.

It is rumored in Capital City that there is a big winner in this bet, and he bet on His Majesty's first wife, Mrs. Su, and thus made a profit of more than one hundred thousand taels of gold.

In fact, it was Grand Master Pei who sent someone to clean up and wipe away all the traces, making it impossible for people to think of Gu Ran.

And in this way, Gu Ran has enough start-up funds, and it is convenient for him to do anything he wants.

Back to the original point, Pei Lanzhao's wish is to preserve the glory of the Pei family.

Gu Ran's first plan after time travel is to get the Pei family out of the battle for succession. Cutting off the thought of the Queen's position, there will be no such thing as Pei's mother or other Pei's family members committing family raids and extermination. But this is only to prevent the Pei family from being destroyed, and she has to ensure that the glory of the Pei family can be continued.

This is not about Grand Master Pei, but about the next generation of the Pei family.

So Gu Ran chose to be honest in front of Grand Master Pei, "My daughter doesn't want to marry and have children, and live a mediocre life by relying on others. My daughter wants to ask her father for another way to continue the glory for my Pei family."

She looked resolute, her tone was firm, and every word was as loud as steel.

In any case, she was also a candidate for the empress competition. In the future, she would marry into a rich family according to Pei's mother's idea, or marry an official under Pei's family or a young talent, but she could really live safely under Pei's protection For a lifetime, and then watched the Pei family fall into decline because of the death of Grand Master Pei.

Not to mention the failure of the mission, she is also unwilling to live such a life that can see the end at a glance.

In this matter, she needs Father Pei's support. In order to complete the task, I also seek freedom for myself.

The status of a daughter of the Pei family is noble, but she is too restrained in the back house of a high gate, and there is not much room for her to do anything except indirectly influence Pei's father's behavior.

"My daughter wants to be a man, and I will prove to my father that I can support the entire Pei family."

Pei Zhou looked at her deeply, "Have you thought about it?"

If Grand Master Pei really didn't know how to adapt, he wouldn't have been a powerful minister for ten years or so, and he hasn't returned to the emperor yet. He didn't really get angry even when he heard his little daughter's rebellious words.

He knew how smart his daughter was, with far-sighted eyes and a deep heart. It was not surprising that she would want to go out and see the vast world outside. Even he would feel wronged by restraining her.

Grand Master Pei sighed in his heart, he didn't expect his son Pei Zhou to be incompetent, but he gave birth to a good daughter.

After a long silence, Gu Ran finally heard Father Pei's voice,

"I'll give you three years. If you can't do it, then go home and be the daughter of the Pei family."

"Thank you, father." Gu Ran solemnly bowed to Father Pei.

With sincerity, would like to thank Taishi Pei for her approval, and also for this deep and heavy fatherly love.

...

Three days later, Pei's daughter left Beijing due to illness and went to the Pei clan's land in Hedong to recuperate.

The author has something to say:

In fact, it’s the third watch.
