Chapter 45 The hero is a scholar

Gu Wenjing knew that Luo Qingyi was still too innocent, and maybe he still had some defense against outsiders, but it was good for his family, and he never thought that his sister would have a bad heart for her.

He didn’t say anything bad about Luo Liuyi either. After all, Luo Liuyi has done nothing now, and speaking out is nothing but complaints.

Gu Wenjing said to Luo Qingyi in a slightly tough tone: “Since you are married to Gu’s family, you are the Gu’s wife. You must tell me in advance when you return to your family’s home, I will go back with you!”

He knew that he would be tougher for a woman like Luo Qingyi who is full of thoughts at home from her father to marry her husband, and she would not refuse to listen.

Gu Wenjing did not restrict Luo Qingyi’s contact with her natal family. After all, Luo’s family was the home where she was born and raised. He just did not intend to let Luo Qingyi go back to her natal family alone, as in the original plot. Luo Liuyi deceived and murdered.

Luo Qingyi nodded gently, not at all feeling that Gu Wenjing’s tone was too strong, on the contrary, he was happy. A man willing to accompany his wife back to his natal home every time shows that he values ​​his wife very much.

After Gu Wenjing brought Luo Qingyi back to the Gu family, Gu family’s life gradually returned to the right track, and Luo Qingyi also slowly integrated into the family.

Gu Linglong is not as bad-tempered as Gu Yuanyuan, the sister of Gu Wenjing in the last world, but rather well-behaved, sensible and filial. Gu Linglong and the gentle sister-in-law Luo Qingyi get along very well. They often do female celebrities together, and they feel like sisters.

Luo Qingyi, who got the permission of Gu Wenjing on the first day of the wedding, no longer cared about anything, and used his dowry money to improve Gu’s life.

The Gu family’s life, which was originally above the horizontal line, has become much more moisturized. In the past, he came back to eat after a few short runs of meat, but now he eats in a different way almost every day.

Gu’s father and Gu’s mother are not cheeky people, their moral standards are still very high, and they are ashamed of their daughter-in-law’s dowry.

However, Gu Wenjing did ideological work for them: “Father, mother, and the bridesmaid’s dowry silver, when I am hit in the future, all of them will be supplied to her. Even if we can continue to live the ordinary life of the past, we cannot ask the lady to be a lady Is it the same as us? If a family lives two lives, can it still be considered a family?”

Gu Wenjing’s words persuaded Gu’s father and Gu’s mother that they can’t make the family live apart for the so-called self-esteem. What is the taste of the mountains and the sea on the other side?

They are supposed to be the Gu family borrowing Luo Qingyi’s money, and in the future Gu Wenjing will pay it back.

As for whether Gu Wenjing can be chosen, no one in the Gu family will doubt that he can’t be won, not only because of the outstanding performance of the original owner, but also because Gu Wenjing’s self-confidence since the journey has infected them, making them unknowingly brainwashed.

The world that Gu Wenjing traversed this time was the same as the first world he traversed in an overhead dynasty, but it was roughly the same.

The Central Plains court he was in was the Daqi Dynasty. Outside Daqi there are some small small countries and the nomadic Xirong in the frontier fortress desert.

Nowadays, the Daqi dynasty is in a prosperous age, and the officials have a clear governance, and the people’s life is going well.

Daqi’s imperial examination system is the same as his first world imperial examination system, and the content of the examination is also similar. Gu Wenjing, who once passed the number one scholar, now has a great advantage, and it is naturally easy to take a test.

However, Gu Wenjing did not relax his vigilance, he still insisted on continuing to read the book in accordance with the study habits of the original owner. Although the imperial examination knowledge in this world is not much different from the first world, there is still a little difference after all. He didn’t want to mix up the knowledge of the two worlds because of his self-confidence, leading to overturning during the exam.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing now spends all his money on reading with Luo Qingyi’s dowry money, instead of busy copying books to make money like the original owner, just reading hard every day. Occasionally, he would go out to discuss knowledge with a few talents who were also planning to participate in the next rural examination.

However, Gu Wenjing was not interested in the so-called poetry club once, but because the original owner had already joined the poetry club, he always declined, so he had to go to the so-called poetry club a few times occasionally.

The people in this poetry club are all talents in Qingyang County who intend to continue to participate in the township examination, and Gu Wenjing is considered the youngest among them. But when he went to participate once to discuss knowledge with other talents, he found that these people are very average.

Anyway, in his opinion, none of these talented talents will be able to take part in the rural exams. But they still feel good about themselves, Gu Wenjing is embarrassed to be too good at the poetry club, so as not to attract jealousy.

But even so, most of the other talents were jealous of him. After all, he was young and promising, and married a beautiful girl with a rich dowry.

A talent in his thirties with the surname Zhang couldn’t help but ridicule him: “Nephew Gu Xian is still copying books? Oh! Look at my memory!” He pretended to be annoyed, “I almost forgot, Gu Xian. My nephew became Boss Luo’s son-in-law, and with Miss Luo’s generous dowry, where does my nephew need to copy books to make money?”

Gu Wenjing glanced at this Zhang Xiucai, and information about him quickly emerged in his mind.

Zhang Xiucai was admitted the same year as Gu’s father, only a few years younger than Gu’s father. His son is now about the same age as Gu Wenjing, but he can’t even pass the exam.

Gu’s father took the provincial examination every three years because of his family background. He had already given up on continuing the imperial examination and placed his hopes on his son Gu Wenjing, so the Gu family’s life was pretty good.

However, Zhang Xiucai has not given up on the examination. For three years and three years, Zhang’s family has tightened his belt to provide for his imperial examination. His son is about the same age as Gu Wenjing but is still not a wife because of his family’s poverty.

Zhang Xiucai was probably jealous of Gu’s father and Gu Wenjing, and couldn’t help but ridicule Gu Wenjing for eating soft food in front of so many people.

However, Gu Wenjing didn’t feel embarrassed and hurt his self-esteem at all. He ate soft meals without psychological burden.

“What does Brother Zhang mean?” A sturdy, black-looking talent in his twenties who looked nondescript in academic clothes stood up and glared at Zhang Xiucai. “When we established the poetry club, we said that we should meet on an equal footing. As a result, Zhang The brother deceived Gu Xian’s younger brother and called him a good nephew. Did he deliberately take advantage of him? Or did Zhang brother think he was a higher class than everyone else and could not be our uncle?”

The name of this young talent who didn’t save Zhang Xiucai’s face was why Zhengming.

He Zhengming’s family is a landlord, and his family is in a good background. Although he is not as rich as a merchant like Luo’s family, he is more than enough to study, and he can barely be regarded as a farmer.

He Zhengming is a classmate of the original owner, and He Zhengming helped to introduce the original owner to copy the book. After passing through, Gu Wenjing came into contact with He Zhengming several times. He felt that although this man had a violent temper, he was not like a scholar, but he treated people sincerely and was a accommodating generation, so he maintained this friendship.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Now Gu Wenjing was ridiculed by Zhang Xiucai, and He Zhengming was also the first to stand up to him.

Other talents, like Zhang Xiucai, were more or less jealous of Gu Wenjing and were unwilling to speak for Gu Wenjing. But with a few words, He Zhengming put Zhang Xiucai on the opposite side of the crowd.

Of course Zhang Xiucai did not want to recognize the hat He Zhengming buttoned. He defended: “Gu Wenjing’s father was admitted to the scholarship the same year as me, and the friendship is not shallow. How can I mess up the generations with Gu Wenjing? I, him, and everyone, All have their own opinions.”

Gu Wenjing smiled faintly: “Brother Zhang is right. He should have different opinions.”

Zhang Xiucai’s face suddenly blushed. He did have the meaning of relying on seniority to teach Gu Wenjing, but he has no actual relationship with Gu Wenjing, and now he is run back, and only feels ashamed.

He just wanted to argue something, when Gu Wenjing turned his head and chatted with He Zhengming about the knowledge in the book, completely ignored him, and left him there in embarrassment.

The other talents couldn’t help but smile as if nothing had happened on their faces. Although they are jealous and jealous of Gu Wenjing, it does not mean that they are on the same side of Zhang Xiucai. Zhang Xiucai’s popularity is not so good.

This poem meeting ended somewhat anticlimacically.

When Gu Wenjing and He Zhengming left together, He Zhengming mentioned Zhang Xiucai: “Don’t take the words of that old guy today, and don’t get angry with your younger siblings when you go home.”

Gu Wenjing smiled: “Brother He, don’t worry, I know what I want in my heart. Now I am indeed studying the imperial examination by the dowry of a lady. There is nothing to avoid. Now how much I owe to the lady will be doubled by the meeting. ”

His tone was flat but firm, and He Zhengming looked at him full of appreciation. It is not uncommon for wealthy people in this world to invest in young talents who are good at learning, but the talents who know how to report are rare. Most of them are scholars who turn their wives into concubines after becoming officials or cross the river to dismantle their wives.

Because of the huge gap between the status of officials and businessmen, many people only talked about how the business girl was worthy of the official prince. Even if the prince’s concubine was relegated to the concubine’s room, it was a matter of course to be retired to her natal family.

But no one dared to say that when the official was down, he was a poor scholar who couldn’t even make up the imperial examination travel expenses. He relied on his despised business woman wife to study the imperial examination. As a result, once he developed, he ungrateful and avenged revenge. It is really inferior. .

Gu Wenjing said to He Zhengming: “Thank you brother He for helping me speak today. I will invite Brother He for dinner!”

He Zhengming is very clear about Gu Wenjing’s family situation. The cost of going to a restaurant is a big burden for the Gu family. Perhaps now, with the Luo family’s money, Gu Wenjing can still afford it, but He Zhengming still refuses: “No need, I I have to go back to Wenshu. My father really wants me to change the door in one fell swoop in the village test.”

Gu Wen nodded his head at the scenic spot: “Well, when we are all on the list after the township examination, I will make up for today’s meal.”

He Zhengming laughed and said, “Then I will borrow your good words!”

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

The contradiction between Gu Wenjing and Zhang Xiucai seemed to disappear, and Zhang Xiucai’s troubles in the poetry society were also run back by him.

But afterwards that Zhang Xiucai did not let him worry a little bit. Qingyang County did not know when the rumor that Gu Wenjing ate his wife’s soft rice gradually spread, about how poor Gu Wenjing was before marrying his wife, and how the delicacies of the mountains and seas after marrying Ms. Luo Jia passed on. There are noses and eyes.

The rumor that suddenly spread made Gu Wenjing not believing that there was no one behind him.

Eating soft meals hurts the self-esteem of men the most. Many unscrupulous scholars divorced their wives after they have developed. They may not know the kindness of their wives to them, but that can’t match the shame in their hearts. It seems that only divorcing his wife can wash away the humiliation of eating his wife’s soft rice.

The Luo family feared that Gu Wenjing would also secretly hate those scholars, so that when he develops in the future, the Luo family will not only get no benefits, but will also have a prostitute’s eldest daughter.

So Luo Jinbao immediately found an opportunity to visit Gu’s father and Gu’s mother at the Gu’s family, and put his posture very low, trying to prevent Gu’s from hating Luo’s family because of the rumor outside.

Gu’s father and Gu’s mother did have lumps with Luo Qingyi and Luo Family because of external rumors. They knew it was not their fault, but it affected their son’s reputation and made them irritate them.

But now seeing Luo Jinbao’s low posture specially to come to the door to apologize, both Gu’s father and Gu’s mother sighed and said: “How can the words of the person outside Wenjing who have a red eye on Wenjing affect our relationship with our in-laws? Qingyi married into Gu’s family? Naturally, my family is my family. Don’t worry, my father-in-law will definitely not be upset to Qingyi.”

Luo Jinbao was able to get a little bit of relaxation after getting the permission of his father and mother.

Luo Qingyi also rushed to plead guilty to Gu’s father and Gu’s mother: “I did not know how to constrain and passed it out, so that outsiders have the opportunity to slander the husband.” Even if she uses her dowry money to support the Gu family, she has to subsidize it privately. Put it blatantly on the bright surface.

Gu Wenjing happened to hit this scene. He listened to Luo Qingyi’s words and sneered: “Only those men who are incapable and admire vanity play self-deception and deceive others! Why should the lady feel guilty? You didn’t do anything wrong, but gave my Gu family. Many people in the family remember your credit! As for those outsiders, just jealous of you and me, don’t you actually rely on your wife’s family? That Zhang Xiucai is still relying on his family’s mother, wife and children to get up and work in the dark for his imperial examination. Yeah!”

He is not like that Xiucai, who is old, and his children will be raised by his family as he should.

The reason why he is not thinking about how to make money now is because Luo Qingyi’s use of money to improve Gu’s living conditions was originally the Luo family’s investment in him, and Luo Qingyi did not affect his life because of this expense, and he did not need to fight for one. Tones have to make money on their own.

The Great Qi in this world has severe restrictions on businessmen. Businessmen are rich but have low social status, and imperial examinations are not allowed within three generations. Even the big businessmen are nothing but fat pigs raised by officials. They give them large sums of money as protection money, but when it comes time to slaughter them, the officials are not merciful.

Gu Wenjing didn’t want to leave this identity with a ‘stain’ of going through business in order to make money. This would be an obstacle to his future official journey.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

No matter how fierce the rumors and rumors from the outside world are, Gu Wenjing, the client, seems to know nothing, calm and calm. Those who spread the rumors were also embarrassed to talk about it in front of him, so Gu Wenjing was not affected at all.

Because Gu Wenjing was unaffected, the Gu family became less concerned about outside rumors.

Just like Gu Wenjing said: “Wait when I get a move, let’s see the turn of these rumors!”

Then he waited for the three-year rural examination.

In August, Qiuwei, Gu Wenjing was preparing to set off for the state capital in early July one month in advance.

Qingyang County is a bit far from the prefecture, so he plans to go ahead of time so as not to even rent a place.

Those talents in Qingyang County who plan to take part in this year’s examination are all determined to go to the prefecture in advance, so they decided to go together. There are many people and great power. Of course, it is a peaceful and prosperous age, but it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no dangers such as robbers and beasts on the road.

Both Gu Wenjing and He Zhengming agreed with the talents of the poetry club to go out.

The three women Gu Mu, Luo Qingyi and Gu Linglong were all at home helping Gu Wenjing to prepare salutes.

Gu’s father had participated in more than one township test. Gu’s mother was very experienced in preparing for the township trial ceremony. This time, Gu’s father also planned to go to the prefecture with Gu Wenjing.

Gu Wenjing knew that Gu’s father was worried about him, and he did not refuse. Luo Jinbao specially gave him a carriage for him to ride. There is a carriage to ride, and Gu’s father will not suffer too much from going to the state capital with him.

In fact, when he saw the carriage, Gu Wenjing thought of replacing the rubber wheels on the carriage with springs to prevent bumps. This is a big business opportunity, but he didn’t dare to take it out when he was just a young talent, and the Luo family couldn’t eat it. Can’t protect.

On the day he went out, Gu Wenjing looked at Gu Linglong and Luo Qingyi who were coming to see off. Both men in the family were going out, and there were only three women left. He was worried and told Luo Qingyi, “I ask my father-in-law a lot. Take care of you. You and your mother and younger sister should be safe at home. If you have any difficulties, send a maid back to your mother’s house for help. Don’t be afraid of losing face.”

Luo Qingyi nodded lightly, and said reluctantly: “Xiangong pays attention to safety all the way, and the concubine waits for Xianggong to go home as soon as possible!”

Gu Wen nodded at the scenic spot, then looked at Gu Linglong, and looked at the fourteen-year-old slender girl, he smiled slightly: “Wait for my brother to come back, choose a good husband and son for you!” Now Gu is the lowest in the family, but wait for him. After returning from the middle school, Gu’s family is about to change the door. As his only sister, Gu Linglong can naturally marry. He even wanted to hold off and wait for the end of the spring season three years later before choosing a good house for Gu Linglong. Three years later, Gu Linglong was only seventeen years old.

His words made Gu Linglong blush, but she still endured the shyness and said goodbye to Gu Wenjing.

After Gu’s mother and Gu’s father had finished telling what should be told, she walked over to say goodbye to her son.

The parting time is not long, but because Gu Wenjing’s destiny is related to the fate of the whole family, everyone is particularly worried.

Mother Gu sighed: “Wen Jing, no matter what, mother as long as you come back healthy and healthy!”

She remembered that Gu’s father once was ill in the examination room and he insisted on answering a question in order to get a good job, so that she finally lay down and was carried out by the officers and soldiers. That time she almost lost her life. He didn’t want his son to take his life seriously because of the exam.

Gu Wen nodded his head at the scenic spot: “Mother is at home, take care too!”

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

On the way to the state capital, there were a total of six scholars who accompanied them, but in addition to the scholars, there were also their own family and book children, who totaled a dozen.

Gu Wenjing saw He Zhengming with the book boy, and invited him to ride a carriage with him. Other talents did not receive such a good treatment. They had to spend their own money to rent a car. The one with more entanglement would rent a carriage, and the one with less entanglement would rent a donkey carriage.

A group of people started slowly.

Although it was an official road, the ancient official road was naturally incomparable to the modern cement road, and the speed of the journey was slow.

Fortunately, there is still a month left, enough for them to walk slowly to the state capital.

After spending half a month on the road, they arrived at the state capital.

The state capital is much more prosperous than a small county town in Qingyang County, and prices are naturally much higher. Especially now that it is the period of the autumn season, the scholars who come to the prefecture to participate in the township examination do not know where they are, and the prices are rising again and again.

A group of people found an inn with a lot of vacancies, and when they asked about the price of the hotel, they were shocked. An ordinary room costs 100 cents a night, which is simply a bright slaughter!

Among the six talents, He Zhengming is the best at home, but even He Zhengming feels that the price is so high that it hurts him.

So Gu Wenjing suggested: “Why don’t we rent a courtyard together!”

Renting an apartment is much more cost-effective than living in an inn, and the six talented people have family members or book boys around them, so you can trouble them to help with small things like cooking.

Everyone felt reasonable, so they went to Yahang to rent a house.

I found a few houses for rent, and finally chose the one closest to the examination room to rent it. The rent was shared equally by everyone, and the others were at their own expense.

Gu Wenjing and Gu’s father chose a room to live in. Gu’s father, an old man who has never done housework, is determined not to let Gu Wenjing organize the house at this time: “You have a good rest, father will do it! You must not delay your exam! ”

Gu Wenjing was forced to sit on a chair by Gu’s father and watched him clean up the house. Gu’s father was clumsy, but his seriousness made Gu Wenjing identify with his father in this life.

He quietly got up to help tidy up together. After Gu’s father made the bed and turned around, he found that he had cleaned the tables, chairs and windows, and said anxiously: “Didn’t you tell you not to do it? Just read the book!”

Gu Wenjing was directly blasted out by Gu’s father.

Standing in the yard, Gu Wenjing saw the room that Zhang Xiucai had chosen. Through the window, he saw Zhang Xiucai sitting in a chair like the uncle, waiting for his wife to clean up the house.

Zhang Xiucai’s age is a few years younger than Gu’s father. His wife is much younger than Gu’s mother. However, when Gu Wenjing saw Zhang Xiucai’s wife before, she felt that she looked older than Gu’s father.

Life grinds this woman into a yellow-faced woman, and Zhang Xiucai’s appearance does not seem to be the appearance of loving his wife. Perhaps Zhang Xiucai has not been successful, and his wife still has one day to make her first life. If he is successful, in the future, if he is successful, she might not be able to save her life if she becomes the wife of a yellow-faced woman in her arms in the future.
