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

Gu Huaijin's face was ashen. Abandoning his wife at a time of crisis was the biggest stain in his life, and it was also the most criticized place in his scholarly circles and official circles. But his identity is here. Except for Wei Cong, no one really dares to show it like this. asked in his face.

Gu Huaijin wanted to get angry, but when she looked up, she saw Li Baolu's confused and curious face, as if she didn't know how vicious and sharp her question was.

He could only reprimand her with a straight face, "Take the time to read more about women's precepts, be careful in your words and deeds, and refrain from talking too much."

Li Baolu was bewildered, "I've read the Women's Ring. Don't you talk too much about your in-laws and uncles? So the rules in the capital are so strict that you can't ask questions if you don't understand?"

Zhao Ning made up the knife at the side, "Wouldn't that woman have to cut off her tongue so she can't speak?"

Li Baolu looked at Gu Huaijin eagerly, waiting for him to clarify.

Gu Jingyun twitched his face, this was different from the people he met in the past, Wei Cong didn't give him face, but he just mocked him openly, how could he discuss such mentally retarded issues with him?

Anyone with a bit of intelligence should be able to understand that he told her not to ask what she shouldn't ask, and not to ask what she shouldn't ask. Is this daughter-in-law pretending to be stupid, or is she really stupid?

At this time, Li Baolu completely regarded herself as a fool, and treated Gu Huaijin respectfully in her attitude, but she was mentally retarded in terms of IQ, and asked questions that should not be asked.

For example, "My daughter-in-law heard from my husband that he has a younger brother who was born to his stepmother, but the boy we saw yesterday? The family really knows how to raise children. He looks not only older than my husband, but also much stronger than my husband. Uncles, aunts and My mother-in-law has put in a lot of painstaking efforts to raise my husband, but my husband is always in poor health, so I don't know what secret the family has for raising children, my husband is still young, maybe he can also take care of his health."

There is no secret, Gu Lekang was born at full term, Gu Jingyun was born prematurely, and Gu Jingyun lost from the very beginning.

But can Gu Huaijin say this?

Obviously not.

So Gu Huaijin said: "The children in the family are all nursed by the nurse, but the food is finer. When you move back to the house, you can tell the kitchen what you want to eat and let them make it for you. It will be fine after a long time." .”

"But I heard that the big kitchen in the gate of the mansion is very busy. There are grandparents, two uncles and parents, older brothers and sisters, and younger siblings. My husband must be too embarrassed to argue with them. When it's our turn, the big kitchen has both intentions and powerlessness. Father-in-law, for the sake of your husband's body, why don't you build us a small kitchen? When the time comes, we will hire a cook who is good at medicinal food, maybe we can really regulate your husband's body .”

Gu Huaijin froze, wasn't he angry with her, why did she open her mouth to ask for favors from him in a blink of an eye?

"There is a small kitchen in every room, but it makes some snacks and soups, and rarely cooks meals. It's not impossible for you to cook for yourself when you come to the house. Let your mother arrange it for you."

Li Baolu was worried, "But that's stepmother-in-law, will she treat us sincerely?"

Gu Huaijin caught her breath, and couldn't help but patted the table, "Li Shi, your stepmother is dignified and loving, how can you slander her without evidence?"

"No, no," Li Baolu waved her hands in a panic and said, "father-in-law misunderstood. I didn't slander my stepmother. I was just worried. Didn't the people say that stepmothers would not treat stepchildren sincerely? After all, she still has a biological son. Even Uncle doesn't even have a small kitchen, would she be willing to prepare a small kitchen for your husband?"

"She will," Gu Huaijin interrupted her in a rough voice, "You don't have to use the heart of a villain to measure the belly of a gentleman."

Gu Huaijin didn't care about maintaining a gentleman's style anymore, he really wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave, but thinking of his mother's face before he came, he suppressed it and said in a deep voice: "Okay, go and pack your things, Jingyun belongs to our Gu family Bloodline, we will not wrong you."

"Father, please wait until your husband comes back. He has to make up his mind about the family affairs."

Gu Huaijin couldn't help but said harshly: "Didn't your parents teach you to be filial to your parents-in-law and listen to your elders?"

Li Baolu shook her head confidently, "My daughter-in-law's parents died in a shipwreck before I knew what to do. I was raised by my husband's child bride-in-law. My aunt and mother-in-law taught me to listen to my husband since I was a child, as long as I listen to my husband."

"..." Gu Huaijin was dumbfounded. He was curious about why his son got married so early. He thought of various reasons, including "Gu Jingyun's health is not good, and he needs to marry a wife early to pass on the bloodline so that the bloodline of the Qin family will not be cut off." "Such a reason.

But he never thought that his son would simply marry a child bride.

Looking at the clumsy Li Baolu, Gu Huaijin's 50% doubts in her heart went down to 3000%. Maybe this child is not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.

The Qin family took great pains to prevent them from intervening in Gu Jingyun's marriage, and even raised a child bride for Gu Jingyun.

Gu Huaijin looked at Li Baolu and was speechless. From now on, the daughter-in-law will only listen to what Jing Yun and the Qin family have to say, and they don't even have room to fight.

Gu Huaijin glanced at the sky outside. Gu Jingyun hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know why the emperor wanted to see him. Was it because he was Qin Xinfang's nephew?

Gu Huaijin's heart was complicated. He was born in Tanhua, but except for the first year when he was able to meet the emperor while walking in front of the imperial court, it was very difficult to see the emperor after that.

But when the Qin family was in trouble, he didn't even want to attend the annual palace banquet, and he was only a fifth-rank Hanlin, not even eligible to go to court.

Gu Huaijin almost forgot what the emperor looked like.

But Gu Jingyun was able to enter the palace to meet the emperor the first time he came to Beijing.

It's a blessing that the Gu family can't enjoy his glory, but if it's a disaster, the first one to be implicated by him is the Gu family.

Even though Gu Jingyun is not on the Gu family's genealogy, legally speaking, he is also Gu Huaijin's son and the blood of the Gu family.

If the Qin family commits a crime, he can divorce his wife for refuge, so can he also sever the relationship for refuge when his son commits a crime?

Obviously this is impossible.

Gu Huaijin immediately lost the mood to continue dealing with Li Baolu. Gu Jingyun's existence was a poison that flared up at any time for the Gu family. They were obviously hostile, but no matter what he did, he would always carry the shadow of the Gu family.

Gu Huaijin got up and said with an ugly expression: "Since that's the case, you can discuss with Jing Yun when he comes back, and I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Li Baolu blinked, why did she leave?

She also prepared a lot of topics, and their life in Qiongzhou, which she hasn't revealed to him yet.

Gu Huaijin was not in the mood to stay any longer, and turned to leave.

Li Baolu reluctantly sent him away, and when Gu Jingyun came back, she proudly said to him: "I asked your father to ask for a small kitchen, so that we can cook for ourselves when we live in Gu's residence. We used to think it was too expensive to eat and learn." You can order and eat everything.”

"for example?"

"For example, blood bird's nest, we can eat one bowl after another, morning, noon and evening."

Gu Jingyun was amused, nodded her forehead and said, "Blood bird's nest is so expensive, it's better to order abalone."

"But I'm tired of eating abalone." Li Baolu pouted: "Instead, it's bird's nest. Although I have eaten it, I have never tasted blood bird's nest."

Seafood is the most indispensable thing at the seaside. Even abalones are very expensive in the eyes of inland people. The abalones caught by fishermen cannot be sold at a high price. The Qin family is close to the water, and you can buy a lot of them for a tael of silver. .

So Li Baolu is really not greedy for abalone.

"That's fine, but everything is too much, you can give the surplus to the servants." Anyway, it was Gu's money, so he didn't feel bad.

"Is the emperor handsome?" Li Baolu skipped the topic and asked instead.

Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "What do you think of an old man who is nearly sixty years old and sick?"

"Then isn't he jealous when he sees you?"

The corners of Gu Jingyun's lips curled up slightly, "I have already made an agreement with the emperor, as long as Concubine Zhao is willing to testify for grandfather, the case of grandfather will be overturned, and the Li family will be able to return home."

"Will the sixth prince be willing to take this muddy water? Although the fourth prince is not as favored as before, his power is still not to be underestimated. At least for now, he is still the most recognized heir besides the prince."

"He can't help being unwilling," Gu Jingyun sneered, "his life was given by his grandfather."

"Okay then, I'll listen to you." Li Baolu immediately changed her tone, "Tell me if there is anything I need to do."

"Yes, you pack up your things first, we will move to Gu's residence tomorrow."

"Do you want to pack everything?"

"Just bring some important ones, and the rest will stay in the small courtyard. We will definitely come back to the small courtyard from time to time in the future, and when we arrive at the Gu Mansion, they will buy them for us again."

Li Baolu happily agreed and ran to collect the things.

The important thing is their books and some things for self-defense, just two rattan boxes will be fine.

That night, Gu's mansion spent the second sleepless night, and Gu Huaijin came to pick up Gu Jingyun early the next morning.

This time he soon saw Gu Jingyun, Gu Huaijin couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face gradually sank, "Did you come to the capital last year?"

Gu Huaijin's memory has always been good, and he has some impressions on people who have seen it once, not to mention that Gu Jingyun left a deep impression on him. Although he only saw one side twice, Gu Huaijin still recognized him quickly.

Looking at the location of the small courtyard where Gu Huaijin lived, not far from the flower market, there was something he didn't understand.

Gu Jingyun had entered the capital as early as last year.

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and gave Gu Lekang a high look. He thought that after he left the day before yesterday, Gu Lekang would tell the whole story about them last year. Now it seems that Gu Lekang didn't say anything. the capital.

Gu Jingyun did not deny it, and nodded with a smile: "Father has good eyesight. I did come to the capital last year, but I left quickly because of an urgent matter. At that time, I came and went in a hurry, and my son regretted not being able to visit."

You did it on purpose, if you came to visit at that time, it is not certain whether you will be able to take the provincial examination.

The Gu family can't do much in the capital, but it's easy to stop a scholar's career outside the capital.
