Chapter 16
Chapter 16: Kaimon
After a night, Gu Jingyun still didn’t understand what he had to do to rehabilitate his uncle and put pressure on the Gu family, but this did not prevent him from determining the corresponding goals.
First, he has to be powerful!
There are only a few ways to gain power. One is the imperial examination, which means that you can earn an official position and move up step by step. Although it is slow, it is safe; the other is to join the army. Military merit has always been one of the best ways to get promoted. Military power is even more wonderful, but Gu Jingyun didn’t even think about it, he just skipped it, because his physical fitness was there, unless he could go back to his mother’s womb to regenerate once, or he would never want to join the army in this life; Long Zhi Gong, whether it is the first or the second method, is not as good as the third method, but it is also tasteless to him, because no royal family will go to the exiled land where this bird does not shit, and He also did not have the opportunity to contact the royal family.
Back to the capital?
I am afraid that he will only enter the city on the front foot, and Gu Jia will be able to kill him on the back foot.
Although Gu Jingyun is only five years old, he will not underestimate the Gu family who can force his mother into pregnancy and risk exile with his uncle.
So after all the calculations, the imperial examination is the most reliable, and if you want the imperial examination, you must study hard!
Secondly, he needs to have connections.
He doesn’t have to think about the resources of the Gu family’s side. After the Qin family was exiled, relatives and friends also had their own choices. Now, there are few uncle’s contacts, so he has to run a network of contacts by himself.
Finally, he needs money.
This last point was provided by classmate Li Baolu kindly.
After listening to Gu Jingyun’s revenge plan, Li Baolu took an active part in it after getting complicated, and made a very important suggestion.
“Money is one of the most beautiful things in this world,” Li Baolu said solemnly to Gu Jingyun, “It’s simple, you need money for food, clothing, clothing, housing and transportation, money for buying books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, money for participating in imperial examinations, money for making friends, Not to mention rehabilitating my uncle.”
“It’s complicated. If the first two points of imperial examinations and connections are not enough, we can still spend money,” Li Baolu said simply and rudely: “In this world, apart from reincarnation and ideals, money can’t be bought, and everything else can be spent. Money can buy it, as long as you have enough money.”
Gu Jingyun looked at her suspiciously, “How do you know?”
She is even younger than him!
Li Baolu said with a small face: “This is my real experience, listen to me, and include this.”
Gu Jingyun, who had never been worried about money, reluctantly added the third item, but he never took it to heart. It was just because Li Baolu was his conspiracy accomplice.
That’s right, this matter is still in the conspiracy stage of the two children, and it belongs to their shared secret!
Because Li Baolu had this secret with Gu Jingyun, the friendship between the two children was developing rapidly. At this time, Gu Jingyun didn’t mind Li Baolu sleeping in his room and flipping through his books, but Li Baolu was still strictly prohibited from touching his desk and pen and ink. And this is Li Baolu’s next goal.
Qin Xinfang came in with a pot of tea and saw the two little guys whispering together head to head again, and couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing. I used to think that Jing Yun was too precocious and was serious like an adult all day, but now I look at Jing Yun like a child. Most of the time it was because he didn’t have a playmate.
Qin Xinfang hoped that his nephew would become more and more cheerful, but he also had to learn cultural knowledge well, so he only sighed in his heart, then paced to the desk, interrupted the communication between the two children with a light cough, and watched them seriously “Okay, let’s start class now!”
Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu immediately sat upright with their backs straight.
Qin Xinfang was satisfied. First, he checked the words written by Li Baolu. No accident, there was a cloud of ink on it, and he didn’t mind. Touching her little head, he encouraged: “You are still young, you can’t hold the pen firmly, don’t worry, Jingyun also practiced calligraphy with a brush when he turned five years old.”
Li Baolu turned her head to look at Gu Jingyun in disbelief.
In front of him is his handwriting, which is crisp and handsome, and has begun to have a uniform and slender style.
Qin Xinfang took out a box of willow branches with her, and smiled: “You are still young, first practice with willow branches dipped in water, and you can also practice with a writing brush, but the time should not be too long, otherwise it will not be worth the gain if you hurt your hand. Now, Jing Yun has practiced this way before.”
It should be said that the children of the Qin family all study in this way.
Teach them to memorize the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Characters Text since they can speak, and teach them to recognize characters when they are older. They can practice calligraphy with wicker or other wooden branches dipped in water, which not only saves paper, pen and ink, but also protects children’s wrists.
Because to practice calligraphy well, wrist strength is very important. Gu Jingyun must be smart and hardworking, but Qin Xinfang also pressed him to hold a pen for a long time when he was five years old.
But people are smart as if they are excellent in all aspects, and so are words.
Gu Jingyun has only been working hard for half a year with the brush, and the words he has written have begun to take shape, which surprised Qin Xinfang.
explained that Li Baolu used willow branches to practice calligraphy, and taught her to recite a few lines of the Three Character Classic, so she went to the side to study, and Gu Jingyun spent the rest of the teaching time.
Gu Jingyun never forgets it, and he can draw inferences from one case, so he roughly studied the Four Books early. According to the teaching plan, Qin Xinfang should teach him the Five Classics, but considering that his nephew is still young, Qin Xinfang suppressed this matter and put the “History Books”. “I took it out and gave him a rough explanation. After the “History Book”, there are “Spring and Autumn”, “Han Book”, “Later Han Book”, etc. In short, the historical story is used first, but the older the person, he will explain it in depth. Four Books and Five Classics, and further study the history books of various dynasties, in addition to arithmetic, ritual music, astronomy, topography and other disciplines, no matter how smart Gu Jingyun is, he will not be able to learn these in ten or eight years.
has a smart and ambitious nephew, Qin Xinfang has a heavy teaching task, and Li Baolu doesn’t even know the word, which makes him ignore each other.
Li Baolu was so happy and at ease, she turned over and over again in the Three Character Classic, and after recognizing the characters in it, she grabbed a willow branch and dipped it in water and wrote it stroke by stroke on the table.
Tired of writing, she propped her chin up and raised her head to listen to the historical stories Qin Xinfang told Gu Jingyun. Although she could not understand the classical dialogues in it most of the time, she could also guess when Gu Jingyun and Qin Xinfang asked questions and answers.
Besides, Qin Xinfang would ask Gu Jingyun to translate it most of the time, and it would be difficult for her to understand.
But studying with these two people, Li Baolu felt that she had been hit hard. After all, she also went to university in her previous life, and she also worked as a volunteer teacher for three years. Why did she come here to make her look like she was illiterate?
Illiterate Li Baolu’s confidence was fatally attacked. After class, she walked out with Gu Jingyun with her head down.
Gu Jingyun glanced at her lightly and said, “You don’t have to be sad, some things are born, and I don’t despise you.”
“…” Li Baolu asked, “How do you know what I’m thinking?”
“It’s written on your forehead.” Gu Jingyun turned around and went to the backyard. He was hungry and wanted to eat.
Li Baolu caught up with him and said, “Just say such hateful and irritating words in front of our family. You can’t be so hated when you go out, everyone will hate you.”
Gu Jingyun despised her, “They have no relationship with me, why should I be friendly to them?”
So you were not despising my IQ or showing off your intelligence just now, but were you trying to explain me?
Li Baolu’s good temper could hardly be maintained, she glared at him with bulging eyes.
Gu Jingyun was not affected at all, and greeted her: “Come on, the food will be cold if you dawdle. You are already stupid enough, and your health can’t be any worse.”
Li Baolu decided to eat up all the vegetables in a while and leave him nothing.
He Zipei had prepared the meal early, and Mr. Qin Xinfang, who left them to do their homework and left early, also sat at the table and ordered a water basin when the two children came in, “Hurry up and eat.”
With the presence of adults, Li Baolu had no chance to eat all the dishes, but most of the food on the table still went into her stomach.
Qin Xinfang and He Zipei pay attention to keeping health, and their appetite is not very good, so they put down their chopsticks after eating a small bowl of rice.
Not to mention Gu Jingyun, he eats cat food, and puts it in his mouth like counting rice grains, completely different from Li Baolu’s style of painting.
Li Baolu can eat when she is a child. When her grandfather and parents are around, she can chew and swallow whatever is fed into her mouth, so even if she is a fool, she is also a fat fool.
Since her grandfather and parents passed away, her living standard has dropped sharply. Every day is either porridge or wild vegetable buns. Even if Li Baolu is not a picky eater, her appetite is still a lot worse, so she lost a lot of weight.
Although she lost weight, she was still fat in the thin Qin family. At this time, there were fish, meat, and fresh vegetables on the table. The key was that the vegetables were still delicious. Seeing that everyone only ate that much, Adhering to the principle of no waste, Li Baolu directly cleaned the dishes on the table.
Gu Jingyun stared at her with wide eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Qin Xinfang and He Zipei were also surprised. The surprise was followed by a surprise. They smiled happily: “Okay, okay, it’s a blessing to be able to eat, Baolu is really good.”
He Zipei even took the person into his arms and rubbed it, and said with great interest: “You like to eat the dishes made by my aunt, and my aunt will cook more for you in the evening.”
Qin Xinfang turned his head to teach his nephew, “Jingyun also works hard to eat more, otherwise my sister will be taller and stronger than you.”
Gu Jingyun slowly closed his mouth and said lightly: “This is my sister’s talent, envy cannot come.”
Li Baolu: “…” What should I do if I really want to beat someone up?
A smile flashed in Qin Xinfang’s eyes, and just as he was about to speak, He Zipei slapped his nephew on the head, defending Baolu and said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Baolu is young and growing, shouldn’t she eat more? Besides, she is weak, so she should make up for it.”
Gu Jingyun looked at the chubby Li Baolu and said nothing.
Li Baolu glared back confidently, her body is indeed weaker than before, why, any opinions?
Gu Jingyun turned his head away and stopped talking.
