Shi Anxia had plans for Feng Shiyu.
It was true that she admired Feng Shiyu's kung fu, but more importantly, she wanted her to have something to do and stay away from the sad place of Beijing. Otherwise, she would always be in such pain.
She could still live on hatred before; once the Empress Dowager died, she would feel that life had no purpose, her energy and spirit would dissipate, and she would be gone.
To put it bluntly, Shi Anxia had to find her a job. If she felt needed, she could live a good life.
Shi Anxia said, "There is a student named Gu in our academy. He passed the imperial examination and won the title of third place in the imperial examination. He was sent by the emperor to Mozhou to serve as the prefect. He will stay there for at least five years. I thought that he is just a scholar and might encounter unexpected events there. It would be best if he had someone trustworthy and skilled to protect him. I wonder if grandma is willing to go to Mozhou with him?"
Feng Shiyu did not hesitate at all, "I'll go!" She clenched her fist and said proudly, "I don't even care about ordinary people. Don't worry, Xia'er, I will protect the third place winner!"
Apart from anything else, anyone who could escape death from the Queen Mother's Jingwei must have great kung fu skills.
Shi Anxia smiled and called out to the door, "Mr. Gu, come in."
Gu Boyan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. Now, looking at Shi Anxia, he had a new sense of mystery.
He felt that the reason why Miss Shi was different from ordinary people was that she must have some unknown abilities.
He is now completely convinced.
He would be grateful for the story of "Gu Ersha", whether she deduced it or she had the foresight to see through the direction of his life.
Now Shi Anxia has thought so carefully for him and found someone with great martial arts skills to protect him.
His uneasy heart finally settled down. He was a very timid person.
Originally, in the past few days, many wealthy and small families who came to Gu Boyan to discuss marriage had lined up, but as soon as the order came down, they all dispersed.
Which good person would be willing to marry his daughter to a prefect of Mozhou and let her suffer?
Isn't this fatal?
Gu Boyan didn't care. He wasn't thinking about marriage, so it was peaceful.
He took Feng Shiyu with him and prepared to take up his post.
Before leaving, Gu Boyan used the generous reward he received as the top scholar to buy two jade carvings of wild geese and gave them to the two couples as wedding gifts, wishing them a love stronger than gold.
Later he wrote another letter back to his hometown, to his greedy mother, saying that although he had won the third place in the imperial examination, he was transferred to Mozhou and he didn't know when he would be able to see his mother again.
If I really miss my son, I can come to Mozhou to visit him. If you want to stay, you can stay. If you don't want to stay, you can go back to your hometown.
Then he asked his brothers and sisters if they wanted to settle down in Mozhou. Although it was a little poor, hard, and scary here, it was rare for the family to be together in harmony. They were not afraid of being poor and hard, because the worst that could happen was death.
After his mother and others read the letter, they spat several times, stamped their feet in anger, and cursed the court for being blind and the emperor for being stupid for letting a top scholar go to a place like Mozhou.
Gu Boyan's brothers and sisters were also very angry. They felt that even if they went to Mozhou, not only would they not be able to take advantage of Gu Boyan, but they would probably have to pay money and even risk their lives.
How could that be? They all followed my mother and jumped up and down, scolding Gu Bainian for having studied for nothing and getting a third place in the imperial examination for nothing.
Because these words were uttered by Tanhua's mother and brothers and sisters, they immediately caused a wave of criticism in the local area that could not be concealed.
When the county magistrate heard this, he cursed the imperial court and the emperor! How could this be tolerated!
If these words were to reach the capital and reach the ears of the emperor, it would not only affect his promotion, but he would also lose his official hat.
The county magistrate quickly sent his men to arrest people. He brought all the people from Gu Bainian's family back to the yamen for the crime of insulting the imperial court and gave each of them twenty lashes of the cane to serve as a warning to others.
