Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 56: Variety

Gu Jingyun took Li Baolu out of that half-street and put away the sadness on his face. He tapped Li Baolu’s forehead and asked with a smile, “How does it feel to quarrel?”

“My heart beats fast, my face is red and my ears are red, and there is an anger in my heart that wants to find an outlet to vent.”

“Control it,” Gu Jingyun said with a faint smile on his face: “We can’t do anything too outrageous with our current status.”

Li Baolu’s mood was a little down, “Outside seems to be very contemptuous of women, and even she was discriminated against when she entered the bookstore.”

Gu Jingyun did not expect this, he could only comfort him: “I value you and respect you.”

Li Baolu couldn’t help smiling when she heard the words, took his hand and said, “This is what you said, but you can’t learn from these vulgar people.”

Gu Jingyun also nodded happily.

“However, our understanding seems to be deviated from that of the world. When I go back in the evening, I will find someone to chat with, so as not to be surrounded by people next time.”

Li Baolu nodded, she also noticed that there were a lot of people staring at them with strange eyes today.

Because of a fight, the two of them were not in a good mood, and they just went back after walking half a street.

There were a lot of people sitting in the inn eating and drinking. Obviously, it was getting dark, and the scholars had to relax.

Li Baolu held the Di newspaper that Gu Jingyun bought, and asked Xiao Er to bring her dinner to the room, and Gu Jingyun stayed alone.

The half-day experience made the young couple understand that Li Baolu’s stay here is not good for Gu Jingyun’s clichés.

As soon as Li Baolu left, Gu Jingyun’s eyes swept across the lobby, he found an empty table and sat down, let Xiao Er serve the food, and turned to look at the poems inscribed on the wall next to him.

As expected, it is an inn dedicated to entertaining examinees. Pens and inks are placed on the long table next to it, and scholars can write inscriptions on the wall at will.

Looking at the high-spirited poems, Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, in a slightly better mood, the scholar on the side rolled his eyes, handed him the pen in his hand, and said with a smile, “Why don’t you have one?”

Gu Jingyun shook his head and smiled lightly: “I have nothing to gain, why dare to show ugliness.” He raised his eyes to look at the words written by the scholar, and said with a smile: “The poems are not worth it, but the words are good, the muscles and bones are thick, and they have been practiced for a long time. After polishing, he said It may not be able to be published as a post.”

The scholar’s heart skipped a beat, and he was most proud of his good handwriting. His husband also said that as long as he could keep practicing and not lose his character, he would be able to post in twenty years, and thirty years later. A few years later, it might become a small family.

It is very important to know that a good handwriting is very important in the cultural world. Some people can stand alone in the literary world with only one handwriting.

He was amazed at Gu Jingyun’s vicious eyes, but also happy with his flattery, so he took the initiative to sit beside him and said, “Zhao Ning in Huizhou, this time I came to participate in the government examination, Xiongtai can enter the palace even at a young age. Take the test, you can see his abilities, but I don’t know where he came from?”

Gu Jingyun is indeed very young. He looks like he is only about thirteen years old. Most of the scholars in the inn are in their twenties, and those in their thirties who come to take the government exam are still young.

No way, education in Guangdong is generally not high. From the perspective of the Central Plains and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are all remote and barbaric places.

Most of the young geniuses appear in the Central Plains, Shandong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas. Among them, Shandong is the hometown of Confucius, and there are more such people. However, in Guangdong, occasionally one will be watched by all the people of Guangdong. When Gu Jingyun came in, some people muttered, everyone started from Haven’t heard of him, when did a young candidate appear in Guangdong?

Actually passed the county exam!

In addition, Gu Jingyun was able to bring the girl to take the test, and he lived in the house, which made people suspicious, thinking that he had bought the county test passed by the county magistrate.

However, no one dares to declare cheating in the imperial examinations. If there is evidence, they will pay it back. If there is no evidence, I am afraid that it will implicate the candidates of the same class, and they will be hated to death.

So everyone put their doubts at ease, and when they heard someone approaching Gu Jingyun, they all perked up their ears.

Gu Jingyun smiled and said, “Gu Jingyun is from Qiongzhou. Gu has just arrived and is young. If there is something missing, please forgive me.”

Zhao Ning saw that he was polite, and the smile on his face became even wider, “Qiongzhou? I haven’t been there, I don’t know what delicious food there is, fun…”

The two talked about customs from the aspect of eating and drinking, then from customs to poetry and songs, and finally jumped to the subset… The more they talked, the more they agreed.

Zhao Ning was amazed at Gu Jingyun’s knowledge. No matter what topic he brought up, Gu Jingyun could pick up on it, and he obviously knew more than he did.

The people nearby were attracted by the topic of the two people, and they joined in one after another. After a while, Gu Jingyun was surrounded by people. I don’t know who started. Several people got together to discuss.

After listening to it for a while, Gu Jingyun picked up some answers. Now not only Zhao Ning, but the others also came to their senses, shocked by his ability.

People in the world say that literati are disrespectful to each other, but that is only a small number of people, and more people will be very convinced as long as they can see the ability of each other.

At this time, the scholars in the inn were like this. Most of the people’s impression of Gu Jingyun began to improve. One of the upright scholars hesitated for a while, but still pulled Gu Jingyun’s sleeve and whispered: “Gu Xuedi, you shouldn’t If you bring a girl to take the exam, it’s better to buy a book boy.”

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows and said in his heart that after socializing for a long time, someone finally pulled it out, and if no one mentioned him, he would take the initiative to mention it. .

Gu Jingyun asked in surprise: “Why did you say this, senior brother? Bao, my wife is not a girl, she is Gu’s wife, doesn’t the inn allow female family members to stay?”

He blushed slightly and said with his head half lowered, “This is our first time going out, and we didn’t know this.”

The people surrounding him were completely dumbfounded, and looked at Gu Jingyun in a stunned manner.

Zhao Ning asked hesitantly, “Brother Gu, dare to ask you about your honor this year?”

Gu Jingyun rolled his eyes in his heart, and continued to say shyly: “One year old thirteen, false fourteen.”

Zhao Ning smiled awkwardly and said, “Gu Xuedi got married very early, is it the custom of Qiongzhou?”

Gu Jingyun shook his head, “No, it’s because my health is not good, and my family can’t accompany me to take the exam, so he married me early so that he can take care of my daily life and accompany me. It’s just that Qiongzhou is small and has less contact with the outside world. This time when we come out, people always look at us strangely, is it because there are few people in the outside world who are so successful at such an age?”

The crowd was embarrassed because they were also one of the strange-eyed people.

Knowing that they were not masters and servants, but husband and wife, everyone’s eyes became more normal in an instant, and they all said: “There are also many people who got married at the age of twelve or thirteen, but most of them are fishermen and farmers. People in the city probably don’t. How did you see it?”

Zhao Ning coughed lightly and said, “Everyone didn’t expect Xuedi Gu to get married so early. They all thought that the younger brother and sister were maids. Everyone is used to going out with a book boy, so when they saw you with maids, they couldn’t help but look sideways.”

Gu Jingyun felt that this was not the only reason, but at this time there were too many people and it was difficult to go into details, so he nodded and smiled.

Everyone not only answered the backlog of schoolwork, but also satisfied their curiosity and left satisfied.

Gu Jingyun pulled Zhao Ning and said, “Brother Zhao, Gu still has some questions to ask, why don’t you come upstairs with me, and let’s have some supper and talk?”

Zhao Ning realized that Gu Jingyun didn’t even eat dinner. The food on the table was cold. He felt a little guilty. If he hadn’t pulled someone to talk, he wouldn’t have done it, so he nodded and said, “Okay.”

Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning went upstairs together. Li Baolu had cooked the porridge and hung it aside. She glanced at the stairs just now and saw that they were patronizing and talking, the food on the table didn’t move, and Gu Jingyun’s critical eyes , the food that was spit on will definitely not move again.

Li Baolu didn’t get up when she heard the door slamming, and asked directly across the screen, “Would you like to ask the guy to bring some more vegetables? I just got you a pickle.”

“Come out and see Brother Zhao.” Gu Jingyun gave Zhao Ning an embarrassed smile and called Li Baolu out to greet Zhao Ning.

Li Baolu came out, gave Zhao Ning a blessing, and said with a smile, “Young Master Zhao, please take a seat, I’ll let the man bring some wine and vegetables.”

Zhao Ning bowed his head and returned a half-salute, and said crampedly, “Brother and sister, you’re welcome.”

He didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until Li Baolu went out. Gu Jingyun looked at him in surprise, “Brother Zhao, why do you all seem to be afraid of your wife?”

Zhao Ning coughed lightly and said uncomfortably, “After all, men and women can’t get along with each other, how can they get along better?”

Gu Jingyun has taught the village children to read since childhood. Men and women are mixed together. In the village, from the age of 80 to the age of three, all men and women are respectful when they meet him. He really doesn’t think there is any difference between men and women.

He realized that the outside world was a lot different from what his uncle said. He considered it for a moment before saying, “That said, as long as you observe the etiquette, you can communicate with each other. Is it because of the difference between men and women that you don’t talk and don’t communicate?”

“It’s not like this, but you should pay more attention.” Zhao Ning saw that he was ignorant, and he laughed: “This makes Gu Xuedi look like a thirteen-year-old boy. It seems that you have all been studying before.” He was ignorant. No wonder he held his wife’s hand when entering and leaving the inn. He probably didn’t know how terrifying this move was.

is also because he is young, if he is older, I am afraid that he will be reprimanded in person.

Gu Jingyun said blankly: “But I have never had such troubles in Qiongzhou. My wife and I have been classmates since childhood. Although my husband also taught us the difference between men and women, it has never been so strict. Do ordinary communication have to be restrained?”

Zhao Ning was startled and asked in surprise, “My younger brother and sister have even gone to school?”

“Aren’t the women in Huizhou not going to school?” Gu Jingyun said, “It’s okay for ordinary people, with limited family resources, don’t those with rich family resources not go to school?”

“Uh,” Zhao Ning choked, and said after a while, “Women read books, which can hinder their morality, so many people in the world do not teach women to read, and now there are very few women who read. Not only in Huizhou, but also in the whole of Great Chu. Qiongzhou Located on a promontory and separated by a sea, these remarks may not have passed.”

Now, Gu Jingyun was dumbfounded, “But isn’t there a women’s school in Beijing?”

Uncle and aunt had discussed before that if they went back to the capital to study, Baolu had better be able to enter women’s school, not only to make more friends, but also to gain some knowledge.

“The women’s school has been cancelled a long time ago. Even if there are still women reading and literacy, they are mostly taught by their fathers and brothers at home. There are very few people who come out to study.” Zhao Ning shook his head and laughed: “The news about Gu Xuedi is a lot behind.”
