Gu Zuo was stunned for a long time, then smiled and said, "Senior Sister Li, I'm here to see you."

Li Twelve stared at Gu Zuo for a long time, and finally moved in.

When Du Zimei, Zheng Qian and Wei Jun first saw Li Twelve, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak. They stood up each other, and they were so nervous that they were at a loss what to do.

Li Twelve came to Gu Zuo, looked at the curtain opposite, and after a moment said with a straight face: "Let's go, I will take you to see him."

Gu Zuo didn't know why: "Ah?"

Li Twelve pursed his lips towards the other side: "See Mrs. Guo Guo."

Gu Zuo's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

Li Twelve's stern face suddenly smiled: "Of course."

Gu Zuo did not hesitate: "Let's go!"

Li Twelve smiled even more, and decisively left the private room, leading the way. As he passed various places along the way, he attracted a steady stream of exclamations: "Twelve Mother..."

Li Twelve ignored her and walked faster and faster. He came directly to Mrs. Guo Guo's private room and worshiped a Yang man who was guarding the door: "Little girl Li Twelve, I came here to pay a visit to Madam."

There was no need for the announcement of the offering, the people inside had already heard it, and immediately invited with a smile: "Twelve Mothers, come in quickly!"

Li Twelve turned around and called Gu Zuo: "Come in..." He saw Gu Zuo grabbing someone's arm and dragging him this way. He couldn't help but be shocked: "This is..."

Gu Zuo replied: "This is Du...Brother Zimei, stop inking..."

Li Twelve gritted his teeth and went in. Gu Zuo dragged Du Zimei to follow him. Unfortunately, Du Zimei was only in the early stage of foundation building and had little fighting experience. She couldn't stand up to Gu Zuo, so she was dragged in by Gu Zuosheng.

After entering, Du Zimei seemed to have accepted her fate, no longer struggling, and stood beside Gu Zuo with her head bowed. After Li Twelve finished the introduction, Gu Zuo stepped forward and saluted: "Gu Zuo from Huaixian Pavilion, I have met Madam."

Mrs. Guo Guo looked at Li Twelve, then at Gu Zuo, covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Master Gu, please take a seat."

Li Twelve had already sat next to Mrs. Guo Guo and said, "My junior brother has heard of Mrs. Guo's name for a long time and has long wanted to meet her. Today is the right time, so I took the liberty to bring her here. I hope Mrs. Haihan will do the same."

Mrs. Guo Guo looked at Gu Zuo and said: "Where is there such a famous name that makes Master Gu laugh? Has Master Gu always been in Beijing? How come I haven't heard Twelve Niangs mention it before?"

Gu Zuo replied: "Gu just came to Beijing yesterday, and today I get to see my wife. I am really lucky." He stretched out his foot and stepped on Du Zimei who was next to him, and then Du Zimei bowed in greeting.

Gu Zuo saw that he couldn't even fart, so he worried for him and simply pointed out: "This is my friend Zimei brother, Zimei brother... um..." He pulled Du Zimei again, thinking that there was no chance.

I’ve given it to you. You should show it to me. Aren’t you very good at composing poetry? Hurry up and write one!

This tug finally woke up Du Zimei. Du Zimei paid homage to Mrs. Guo Guo. He took out three documents from his arms and said to Mrs. Guo: "I heard that your majesty is holding a grand ceremony in the suburban temple. Du is not talented and would like to go to ""

I heard three poems including "Presenting to the Taiqing Palace", "Going to the Imperial Ancestral Temple" and "Something Happened in the Southern Suburbs". I paused in fear and hoped that my wife would spare no effort to write the letter."

When Li Twelve heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he returned to his calm and calm look. Gu Zuo couldn't even laugh or cry, thinking that it was him who was dirty and misunderstood, and Du Zimei was doing it to surrender.

Qian Ye, please ask Mrs. Guo Guo for help.

Apart from laughing, he was also a little sad. Gu Zuo knew a little about the reputation of Mrs. Guo Guo. With Du Zimei's temperament, he actually went to this step and turned in the papers to Mrs. Guo Guo. It can be said that he was forced to do nothing.

.

The smile on Mrs. Guo Guo's face did not change. She seemed to have expected it. She shook her fan and said: "Actually, I am a woman, how can I take care of these things, and my poetry and writing are simple and crude. If you leave me to write, you are not going in the wrong direction."

The connection?”

Pointing to a noble lady beside him: "Isn't there a great god sitting in front of me? This is Wei Shi. The official of Pengcheng County worships Shangshu Youcheng. The most beautiful thing is that he has beautiful articles. Instead of worshiping her, you worship me. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse?"

"

The noble lady laughed with her: "Everyone in Chang'an knows that no one can say a thousand words, but one word from my lady can't be worth it."

Du Zimei just lowered his head, holding the scroll in both hands, and said nothing. Gu Zuo could understand his aggrieved mentality, but he couldn't help but shake his head. The first step had been taken, so why should he begrudge the second one just because he cherished his body?

Step? If you fail in the imperial examination, you will submit it; if you fail in the examination, you will be attached to the imperial examination. This is the way for scholars to make progress nowadays. Even if you don't want to, you should wait until you become an official, right?

To be honest, Du Zimei and Gu Zuowei didn't really have a close relationship. They were just sharing the same table so far, and Gu Zuo never thought about what the other party could bring him in return. In the impression, he later became an official, but he was very dissatisfied.

, with his life of poverty, he has no ability to repay himself, and there is really no benefit in helping him.

But there are all kinds of reasons, but they can't get around one sentence - he is Du Zimei!

After thinking for a while, he reluctantly took out the half-que poem written by Du Zimei from his arms, presented it with both hands and said: "Just now, I, Senior Sister Li, was dancing with the sword, and Brother Zimei was able to write twelve lines of poems in an instant. His talent is evident, and I would like to ask Madam to take a look at it.

"

Since he presented it, he was treated differently from Du Zimei. Mrs. Guo Guo looked at Li Twelve, nodded with a smile, and asked the maid next to her to take it away.

Gu Zuo added another sentence: "Zi is beautiful and talented, Madam can tell at a glance."

Mrs. Guo Guo raised her eyebrows, took it from the maid's hand, unfolded it slightly, and saw five large flying tickets worth a hundred dollars sandwiched inside.

Although the five hundred guan was only one-third of the reward she gave out for watching the dance today, it was indeed a lot. More importantly, submitting the paper in this way was in line with her rules.

Then he handed a copy of the poem to the maid beside him: "Read it and listen."

The maid began to recite it on the spot. After reciting it, Mrs. Guo Guo and Wei Shi both praised it. Li Twelve also leaned over and thanked Du Zimei.

Du Zimei finally spoke, but said: "I don't dare. Huaixian has to start the first two sentences before he can follow up."

Gu Zuo lamented, secretly thinking, Brother Zimei, if you really don’t want to talk, why don’t you just say nothing at all? I’m doing a pilgrimage for you. He said: “Throwing bricks to attract jade, throwing bricks to attract jade.”

In order to avoid being asked to compose a poem on the spot, he also told the embarrassing story about his inscription "Gu Huaixian was here for a visit", which made Mrs. Guo Guo and Webster laugh.

Mrs. Guo Guo asked again: "What about the rest of this poem? Why are there only twelve lines?" She said she didn't understand poetry, but how could it be possible?

Gu Zuo stopped Du Zimei and answered on her behalf: "I think the twelve sentences are just right, just in line with Senior Sister Li. This is God's will."

Everyone laughed again, and after laughing, Mrs. Guo Guo finally put away Du Zimei's submission and said: "I don't know whether this article is good or bad. I will present it to Your Majesty when I have the opportunity."

At this point, Gu Zuo and Du Zimei bowed to say goodbye, and Li Twelve sent them out.

After returning, Zheng Qian and Wei Jun were waiting. Gu Zuo said succinctly: "Madam has accepted Brother Zimei's travel document and promised to present it to the emperor."
