How old are you older than us, we reluctantly call you uncle, Gu Jingyun is so much younger than them, what's the matter with calling him uncle?

Li Baolu became excited in an instant, looked at the two of them with piercing eyes and said, "So it's my nephew, come on, call me auntie and I'll listen."

Zheng Xu twitched his lips and said, "Sisters, don't make trouble, we and Brother Gu are of the same generation."

Wei Cong sneered, "Your scholarly family actually ranks seniority with a warrior? Come, teach me how you rank uncle?"

Zheng Xu \u0026amp;amp; Shi Wei: "..."

How else can they be ranked, according to age, and whether it is counted from Gu Huaijin or Gu Lekang, they are the same generation as Gu Jingyun.

Wei Cong insisted: "Families like us naturally only compare seniority with the scholarly family. From the Qin family, Gu Jingyun is your uncle, call him uncle!"

In order not to make Wei Cong go crazy, Zheng Xu and Shi Wei called out aggrievedly, "Uncle Gu Shi!"

Gu Jingyun smiled lightly, "My good nephew, uncle didn't bring any good things with him today, so I'll make up for the gift next time we meet."

The two of them stared at him secretly, keeping their noses away from their faces.

However, Li Baolu took out her purse and poured out two unique gold nudes, "Come here, nephews, your uncle doesn't have one, but my aunt has one here. I originally wanted to keep it as a collection, but seeing that you are so cute, I reluctantly parted with it." You guys."

Under Wei Cong's gaze, the two of them gritted their teeth and took it, "Thank you, Auntie."

Li Baolu smiled until her eyes narrowed, "No thanks, no thanks."

With Wei Cong present, Zheng Xu and Shi Wei were cautious and did not dare to mess up the topic, for fear of offending him with any sentence.

Their uncle's insanity is well-known in the capital, even their father doesn't want to mess with him, let alone them.

The two pretended to be quails, but Wei Cong didn't let them go.

The younger brother first arrived in the capital, and he was unfamiliar with the place of life, so of course he had to check for him. He looked up and down with scrutiny, scanning Zheng Xu and the others inside and out, and learned that Zhao Ning was the same year as Gu Jingyun all the way, and followed him all the way. From a scholar to a Jinshi, they went to the capital together.

The satisfaction with him reached a new height in an instant, and he was temporarily let go. A pair of eyes focused on Zheng Xu and Shi Wei.

The two of them immediately straightened their backs, and waited for the monks to serve the food without looking sideways, but they complained endlessly in their hearts, and kept praying in their hearts: "Don't go crazy, don't go crazy, but don't go crazy..."

"Have you both passed the provincial exam?"

The two nodded seriously.

"Do you want to try again next year?"

The two shook their heads together, and replied rigorously: "My nephews are not good enough, and the family asked us to wait for the next subject."

Wei Cong nodded knowingly, "That's fine, if you are more confident, you can save ten years of detours with your family background."

This is the first time Zheng Xu and Shi Wei have seen such a serious Wei Cong. In their impression, Wei Cong has always been cynical and crazy, but in the mouths of their parents, Wei Cong is a rare genius. Gu Lekang at that time was a child of someone else's family.

As much as Zheng Xu and Shi Wei were jealous of Gu Lekang, their parents were more jealous of Wei Cong, but no one thought that Wei Cong would be reduced to this point.

Some people gloat over others' misfortune, but more people regret and reject the Wei family.

Back then, the prince was involved in the Kaiping case, and the prince's mansion was besieged, and the Gu family was not the only one who did wrong.

The parents kept this secret. Although Zheng Xu and Shi Wei didn't know the details, they guessed that part of Wei Cong's insanity was due to the Wei family. In addition, the parents all showed a three-point respect to Wei Cong. Zheng Xu and Shi Wei Wei didn't dare to make mistakes, they would answer whatever Wei Cong asked.

Wei Cong touched his chin in satisfaction, patted them on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If I don't pass this exam, let's work hard together in the next exam, and then our uncle and nephew will be in the same class, hahaha..."

Zheng Xu was startled, "Uncle Wei Shi is willing to refer?"

"My junior brother is about to take part in the test, so naturally I, as a senior brother, can't fall behind too much."

This can be regarded as big news. You must know that Wei Cong passed the examination when he was only thirteen, but he has been unwilling to participate in the examination.

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei looked at each other, thinking of his absurdity these years, he suggested tactfully: "Why should Uncle Wei be in a hurry, why not wait for another three years, and finish with us in the next subject, so we can be more confident."

Wei Cong shook his head, "You guys are waiting for the exam to compete for a good ranking, but I don't care about the ranking. To me, there is not much difference between the first place in the exam and the bottom one."

He sneered and said: "The emperor will not take me into the Hanlin, let alone let me walk in front of the imperial court. As for the six departments, who will want me? I will also be released if I want to be an official. What is the difference between the first place and the bottom one?"

Everyone was silent.

Back then, Wei Cong ran madly outside the palace to scold the emperor, directly knocking the emperor out of anger, but the emperor had to pretend to be generous when he woke up, and turned around to let Wei Cong's father sit firmly in the household department for more than ten years The position of Zuo Shilang is neither promoted nor demoted.

The emperor's petty mind must still remember Wei Cong. If Wei Cong really became an official, it would be better to leave the capital.

Wei Cong didn't care, turned his head and told Gu Jingyun, "Junior brother, if you want to take the exam, you should work hard to pass it. Although the emperor is small-minded, he still has three old feelings for the teacher. Just because you were raised by an uncle, he will do it." It will not hinder your future, as long as you have the ability, you can do it even if you are a Marquis or Prime Minister."

He sneered and said, "Don't learn from your father. He hasn't made any progress in fifteen years, and he ruined all his good cards. Back then, he was born in Tanhua, and when he was an official, he directly entered the Imperial Academy. In less than three years, he has been promoted from the seventh rank to the fifth rank, which can be said to be a steady rise, but look at it now, fifteen years later, he is still only a first and fifth rank."

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei's eyes widened, and they cautiously went to see Gu Jingyun, but saw his face was indifferent, as if Wei Cong was not talking about his father.

But did Gu Huaijin even walk in front of the imperial court?

This is too arrogant, you can enter the Hanlin Academy and walk in front of the imperial court, so what is the difference from the reserve cabinet?

The two of them lighted wax for Gu Huaijin at the same time in their hearts, and then lost it after possessing it.

Qin Xinfang has been exiled for fifteen years, but her influence on the imperial court is still so great.

Thinking of the two ancestors of the Qin family, Zheng Xu and Shi Wei knew it well, not to mention the head of Qin Shan, nearly half of the officials above the fourth rank in the court are from his sect, and Qin Shoufu is the elder of the three dynasties, even the emperor It was taught by him personally, not to mention his connections.

Even if most people only have superficial affection for the Qin family, but if everyone thinks of superficial affection, Gu Huaijin will not be able to turn around.

In the same way, everyone thought of the Qin family's superficial affection, and Gu Jingyun's official career went much smoother than others.

How did Qiongzhou grow up? What about the criminal's nephew?

As long as the Qin family is here, he will have more opportunities than others.

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei paid more attention to Gu Jingyun's three points, and helped him out with a smile, "Brother Gu was taught by Mr. Qin, even if he learns, he must learn from Mr. Qin. Uncle Wei Shi, don't worry."

Wei Cong and You Rongyan nodded.

The monks knocked on the door and came in, offering vegetarian food.

Huguo Temple's vegetarian food is famous all over the world, Li Baolu had eaten it once last time, if it wasn't for the high price of a table of vegetarian food, she would really like to eat it every day, even if there is no meat.

Li Baolu, a carnivore, is so respected, which shows the delicacy of the vegetarian food in Huguo Temple.

As soon as the dishes were served, Li Baolu picked up her chopsticks and looked at Wei Cong who was sitting up. After Wei Cong opened the chopsticks, she picked up two of Gu Jingyun's favorite dishes in front of her, and then concentrated on eating her own.

Wei Cong has been paying attention to them all the time, seeing that sometimes Gu Jingyun just raised his eyebrows after eating a chopstick, and Li Baolu helped him pick up vegetarian dishes that he couldn't pick up, and seeing Gu Jingyun's expression, he was used to it and was very satisfied.

Obviously what Li Baolu picked up was exactly what he wanted to eat.

Gu Jingyun also took care of Li Baolu from time to time, and the two had an incomparable understanding, as if they excluded everyone.

After eating, several people drank tea and rinsed their mouths, Li Baolu picked up the teapot, and Gu Jingyun handed over the teacup.

Holding the tea, Wei Cong lowered his eyes, took a sip of the tea and smiled: "Junior brother wants to study, and junior sister can come and play with your senior sister-in-law if she has nothing to do at home. She doesn't know much, but she knows the capital very well. When the time comes Let her show you around."

"Thank you, brother." Gu Jingyun glanced at Li Baolu and said, "She is studying with me. I will take her to pay my respects to my sister-in-law someday."

Gu Jingyun doesn't want to stay at home alone to study, he is used to going in and out with Baolu.

Wei Cong didn't force himself, he was satisfied to see his junior brother today, knowing that the teacher is still safe.

He said enthusiastically: "I also want to study, why don't we brothers and sisters be companions together. We can discuss together if we have any doubts."

Gu Jingyun glanced at Zhao Ning, nodded and said: "I have a small courtyard in Lingsheng Street, Beijing, and brother Zhao lives there now, if you want to find me, you can go there. I would go there to study during the day.”

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "Brother Gu, no, Uncle Gu Shi, I wonder if we can go."

Gu Jingyun smiled, "Welcome very much."

"Reading has never been done behind closed doors, but you should listen to suggestions widely. There are many bookstores in Lingsheng Street, and there are scholars coming and going. It's just right to study there." Gu Jingyun turned his head and smiled at Zhao Ning: "Brother Zhao is going to trouble again, and the rest Let’s renovate that guest room, and then we will sit and talk there.”

Zhao Ning looked at Gu Jingyun gratefully, patted his chest and assured him: "Brother Gu, don't worry, I will clean up with Shunxin when I go back."

The most wonderful thing about Gu Jingyun's small courtyard is the quietness in the middle of the noise. In the depths of the alley, you can't hear the noise outside, but as soon as you step out of the alley, you will be full of scholars. It's all about learning and government.

It can be said that among all the gifts from the grandson, this small courtyard is the most favored by Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu.

The young couple had already planned that when they left the Gu family, they would move into the small courtyard for a long time.
