Zheng Xu and Shi Wei secretly glanced at Gu Jingyun, and Wei Cong's expression on the side was extremely ugly. Gu Jingyun simply dropped the book in his hand, sat cross-legged opposite them, and said openly, "Look."

Zheng Xu and Shi Wei were a little embarrassed, and they looked at Gu Jingyun with sympathy in their eyes, "I heard that the Gu family is going to separate you, right?"

"yes."

Wei Cong slapped the table with a "slap", jumped up angrily and said, "Gu Xiu Neng, this old man is too deceitful!"

"Senior brother be careful, my grandfather is also doing it for my own good," Gu Jingyun said with a light smile, "I agree with this matter, but I'm more curious about how you all know."

"You don't know?" Zheng Xu thought that the public opinion outside was Gu Jingyun's handwriting. Seeing that his astonishment did not seem to be fake, he realized that he didn't push it, and immediately sighed: "It seems that my people in Dachu are living a happy life." It's really good..." This gossip has already spread to the market.

When Zheng Xu paid his respects to his grandmother yesterday morning, he heard them gossip, and only then did he know that the Gu family wanted to separate Gu Jingyun.

He didn't believe it at first, thinking that Gu Jingyun and the Gu family had filed another lawsuit. Anyway, he has been hanging out with Gu Jingyun for the past few months, knowing how much the Gu family gave way to him, and also how quietly Gu Jingyun pressed on the Gu family every step of the way. .

But who knows that it only took one day, when he came to the small courtyard this morning, he stopped halfway to let the book boy go to buy some food, and then he heard people at the food stall talking about it, and it turned out to be gossip about the Gu family wanting to separate Gu Jingyun.

"I heard that your two aunts were very angry. They went back to their mother's house and said they didn't want to divide the family like this, but it's useless for anyone to stop your grandfather if he insists on going his own way."

Gu Jingyun understood after thinking about it, and said with a sneer, "Then you must have never heard of my grandmother being fainted by Concubine Lan?"

Zheng Xu was stunned, "Old Madam Gu was stunned by Concubine Lan Gui! Why?"

"Oh, because my father-in-law's family has been framed by Concubine Lan Gui for nearly twenty years, and now my father-in-law's family has been wronged. My grandmother is very happy, but when she thinks of the traitorous concubine in power, she faints accidentally."

Zheng Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, this is too nonsense, Mrs. Gu is so righteous?

The anger on Wei Cong's face slowly subsided, and he said thoughtfully: "Gu Xiuneng did it on purpose, even if he wanted to tarnish the Gu family's reputation, he didn't want to involve Concubine Lan Gui."

Using the branch to divert attention, who would pay attention to such a trivial matter as Mrs. Gu's dizziness?

The smile on Gu Jingyun’s face remained the same, “It’s enough for those who should know to know. It doesn’t matter whether ordinary people know. Well, now that you know the inside story, can we read the book with peace of mind? There are still 18 days until the exam.”

"But I still have a lot of gossip that I haven't said. For example, your eldest aunt seems to have a little trouble with her natal family. My mother said that the two wives of the Tang family ignored you at the princess's plum appreciation banquet two days ago. Aunt..."

Gu Jingyun looked at him helplessly and said, "Brother Zheng, I don't think you are suitable for the imperial examination. It may be more promising to be a storyteller."

Brother Zheng looked at him with a hurt face, isn't it because of him that he is so tongue-in-cheek?

Shi Wei pursed his lips and smiled, put Gu Jingyun's shoulders on his shoulders and said: "The sour scholars in Songshan Academy all have this stink problem, so I suggest you come to our Qingxi Academy."

Zheng Xu was furious, stretched out his foot and kicked Shi Wei, "Get out, you're just sour, and all of you Qingxi Academy are so sour."

Li Baolu came in with two trays of dim sum and saw the two of them rolling into a ball. She immediately became angry, put down the dim sum in her hands, grabbed the two of them by their collars and threw them out, pinching her waist and angrily said: "You don't need to take the exam, Jing Yun My elder brother and senior brother Mr. Zhao still need to study, so you have to fight outside."

The two were still on the snow, not hurting at all, but they were stunned, how did they get thrown out just now?

Li Baolu turned around and served the snacks to the three people in the room courteously.

Zhao Ning held a book in his hand and muttered in the corner from beginning to end. Even Zheng Xu and Shi Weigun couldn't make him raise his eyebrows. Even Wei Cong admired his concentration. Not even thunder can affect him.

Gu Jingyun no longer cared about Zheng Xu and the others, and looked down at the book.

No matter how turbulent the outside world is, he just does not know and concentrates on reading. Master Gu sees it, and feels even more distressed and appreciated.

Feeling sorry for the loss of a good talent in the Gu family.

But he didn't want to see Gu Jingyun so outstanding, so the day before the exam, Gu Houye sent him the list of property that had been sorted out, "Take a look, if there is no problem, then divide it like this." Gu Houye's face was full Wearily said: "Your father doesn't want to divide the family like this, I forced you to do so. The elders of the family have chosen the eighth day of February to open the ancestral hall. Can you go then?"

Gu Jingyun flipped through the list, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "What does grandfather think?"

Gu Houye looked into his eyes calmly, "I'm afraid it will be difficult if you want Chunwei, who do you think will come forward for you?"

"You don't need to invite anyone else, just let Baolu go." Gu Jingyun closed the list, and pushed the list to Li Baolu, saying: "Although we can trust our grandfather, we should find out if money is involved. Baolu, you don't have to be polite, check what you need to do, ask what you need to ask, from now on, it will be our family's entire property."

Li Baolu's eyes sparkled, "You just go to the exam with peace of mind, I'm outside."

Gu Houye looked up at the grandson-in-law in surprise.

He came here with the purpose of disturbing Gu Jingyun's mood. Branching is a major matter, and division of production is also a major matter. With these two things on his mind, he doesn't believe that Gu Jingyun can take the exam with peace of mind.

He used this strategy openly, and he did not hide his purpose.

However, Gu Jingyun was bold enough to entrust such two important matters to Li Baolu, a young daughter-in-law.

But he didn't cheat Gu Jingyun either, the property promised to him was not small, but it was not so good in the Gu family's property, and the shopkeeper or shopkeeper of the shop was a bit difficult to deal with.

He has given the property of equivalent value, and the next step is to see if he can accept it.

Master Gu got up and left.

Li Baolu looked at his back and sighed: "This is an aboveboard conspiracy. If the old lady and the others can have such means, it will be much more difficult for us to achieve our goal."

Gu Jingyun snorted softly, got up and said, "Let's go, go to sleep, I have to go to the examination room tomorrow morning."

He didn't ask a word about the branch and property, and completely left it to Li Baolu.

Li Baolu didn't talk about it, but touched his arm and said: "It's really cold in the north, and fur clothes can't be brought into the examination room. The two sets of cotton clothes I prepared for you are specially enlarged at the waist. A rope, tied up when wearing it during the day, it is warmer, and untied at night, one set is spread on the bed, the other is covered next to the body, and the quilt provided in the examination room is covered on top of the cotton coat..."

Li Baolu babbled a lot, Qiu Wei was in the mid-autumn season when the autumn was breezy, and the southern region was still hot at that time, which made it uncomfortable, but for people like Gu Jingyun who lived in a cold system, Li Baolu's worries were limited, that is, he felt sorry for the lack of food he ate. good.

But Chunwei is different.

It was still snowing in February in the capital, so cold that people wanted to get into the fire, and Gu Jingyun was especially afraid of the cold. This was the first time they spent the winter in the north this year. Before that, she had bought him a lot of fur clothes and knee pads. This allowed him to spend the winter without disease or disaster.

Spring is here, and the tops of the trees outside are sprouting buds, but the weather is still cold, and there was a light snowfall the day before yesterday, how can she rest assured.

In contrast, the fact of branching and division of production is extremely small.

Amid Li Baolu's worries, Gu Jingyun went into the examination room with big bags and small bags.

Li Baolu brought him all the things he was allowed to bring into the examination room, especially things to keep out the cold. Erlin and Hongtao carried the things to the entrance of the examination room, and a group of people inspected them under the cannibalistic eyes of the yamen servants.

Then Gu Jingyun took out ten taels of silver to an idle yamen servant, and asked him to help send it to the number room.

The yamen servants who were still in a bad mood immediately helped with a smile on their faces. As long as they don't carry anything with them, they are still willing to help the gentlemen with such trivial matters.

Zhao Ning, who lined up behind him, was not so thick-skinned, so he went forward with his stuff and carried his things smoothly.

His things were also prepared by Li Baolu, she prepared them in duplicate, Gu Jingyun had some and Zhao Ning had them, so he also had a lot of things.

But he was also very obedient, seeing Gu Jingyun call the yamen servant for Yinzi to help move things, he did the same.

Wei Cong's things were prepared by his wife, because the crazy husband finally knew that he was making progress. Grandma Wei almost sent her husband to the entrance of the examination room with tears in her eyes. looking at.

Li Baolu stood beside her and watched her for a while, seeing that she hadn't looked away, she couldn't help coughing lightly and said: "Master, the sky is overcast, it might snow again, let's go back quickly."

Grandma Wei withdrew her gaze, nodded and smiled at Li Baolu, "My husband told me to take care of my sister before entering the examination room. If my sister doesn't want to live in Gu's house, why not go back to Wei's house with me for a few days, and then go back after the younger brother leaves the examination room." Not too late."

Li Baolu declined, "Thank you, sister-in-law, but I still have some things to do, I'll come and play with you when I'm done."

Grandma Wei hesitated, "You only have one girl to serve you, why don't you take one from me to serve you, and you can contact me if you need anything."

Li Baolu saw that she was afraid that she would be bullied by the Gu family, so she comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, no one in the Gu family will bully me."

With Gu Jingyun not around, she is less restrained, who can bully her?

Li Baolu had to check the accounts when she went back, so she didn't stay any longer, waved goodbye to Grandma Wei, and led Erlin and Hongtao back to the mansion.

"Heart, I think you already know that the third master and I are going to branch out. Do you want to stay in the Gu mansion, or go with me?"

Hongtao hesitated, of course she wanted to stay in Gu's mansion, her sister was still in the mansion, but the Second Madam was obviously more inclined to let her leave with Li Baolu so that she could continue to make eyeliner.
