Li Baolu sat cross-legged on the couch and was sweating profusely while Gu Jingyun sat opposite her and watched her eat, suddenly feeling a little hungry.

Li Baolu glanced at him sensitively, took some from a small bowl for him, pushed it in front of him and said, "You can eat some too."

How can a fifteen-year-old boy not eat supper at night?

Gu Jingyun squeezed a pair of chopsticks to eat with her, he felt that as long as he was with her, he didn't have to worry about losing his appetite.

After eating and drinking enough, Li Baolu felt a little sleepy again, so Gu Jingyun turned around and went back to the inner room to take out a letter, "Uncle's letter has arrived, and the affairs of the capital have been dealt with. You can even hand it over to your family members.”

"Uncle must have disliked us for walking too long on the road," Li Baolu took the letter and opened it and said, "We have walked for 18 days and haven't arrived yet..."

"Ah," Li Baolu quickly glanced at the content of the letter, Gu Hou Ye resigned from the court for Gu Huaijin the day after Gu Huaijin left. The reason was that he was ill and could no longer be qualified for the work of the Imperial Academy.

The emperor threw the excerpt to the head of the Imperial Academy and agreed.

So Gu Huaijin is no longer an official, but a former Tanhualang who used to be an official.

At the same time, a censor impeached Gu Hou Ye for lax family management, and his son stopped his wife from remarrying.

The Qin family only reconciled with your son five days ago. Didn't the Fang family marry during their marriage?

As a loyal and brave Lord Gu Hou, he knew the law and indulged his son, which corrupted the atmosphere and had extremely bad influence.

The emperor didn't let Master Gu go up to defend himself, he didn't want the Qin family to be an excuse for the courtiers to fight water, even if the starting point was for the good of the Qin family.

Qin Xinfang also didn't have this hobby, and Gu Houye was very interested in praying for the remains, quit the court, and just became an idle Marquis.

The emperor asked him to stay twice and then agreed, so now Gu Huaide and Gu Huaixin are the officials of the Gu family.

Gu Huaijin, who had been given high hopes by the Gu family, was also abolished. Now that the Gu family has stopped, they can only place their hopes on the third generation, and the best of the third generation is Gu Lekang.

In the past, Gu Lekang was the eldest son of Tan Hualang, and the Fang family of his mother was related to Concubine Lan Gui. He had worshiped a world-renowned Confucian as his teacher, and he was also smart and quick-witted. He was simply a natural winner in life, but within two years, everything turned upside down .

He is still too young, and no one knows where he will go in the future. Obviously, the Gu family does not value him as much as before, otherwise he would not be allowed to return home with his parents.

However, Li Baolu still remembered the young man who was so radiant and so proud that he wished he could raise his head to the sky when he first met him.

She hated his arrogance at the time, but looking at it now, maybe for him, those days were the most beautiful, right?

Li Baolu sighed with joy in her heart, folded the letter and put it aside, "Master Gu is decisive, if he says to resign, he will resign, if he says to retire, he will retire."

"Unless he is willing to let his sons and grandchildren go to the battlefield and seek a way out with military merits, staying in the court is nothing but a joke." Gu Jingyun said lightly: "It's a pity that he wants to turn Gu's family into martial arts. This cousin's immediate skill is mediocre, and he only saves a few lives when he goes to the battlefield."

"If I were him, I would let a few grandchildren have children as soon as possible, and then focus on cultivating the next generation. If the children born still have no talent for reading, he can only let them practice martial arts in order not to completely defeat the Gu family, and then join the army. .Although you may die on the battlefield, you can still protect the prosperity of the Gu family."

Isn't Gu's glory now earned by Master Gu and his concubine brothers?

Gu Jingyun sneered at the corner of his mouth. It is rare for the Gu family to find a genius who can read. Master Gu devoted all his energy to cultivating him, and tried his best to marry him to his mother, but it was a pity that he made a wrong step. Efforts vanish in an instant.

With the Qin family around, it will be even more difficult for the Gu family to become a civil servant in the future. Unless they go into business and have solid achievements in the local area, it will be difficult to get ahead.

Li Baolu had already thought of this, she was relieved knowing that the Gu family would not be doing well, she quickly shifted her attention, touched the letter paper and said: "We have to stay in Kaifeng for two days, why don't we also write back to uncle Let’s let them know we’re safe and well.”

Gu Jingyun looked at her quietly.

"By the way, write a letter to my master. I want to ask him about the Kaifeng mansion. If the forces in Kaifeng's rivers and lakes are too complicated, I think we should bypass Kaifeng on our return journey."

"People don't fight with officials. I hold a fourth-rank official position. Why do you think those Jiang Hu people come to provoke us?" Gu Jingyun stared at his wife's head curiously, not understanding her brain circuit. It shouldn't be those people. Do people in the Jianghu avoid officials like them?

"Oh," Li Baolu sighed heavily, looking sadly at the dark sky outside and said, "You have to know that there is a kind of place in the world called 'Jianghu', and there is a kind of people called 'brain-damaged', you have forgotten our memories The one thousand and one stories of the rivers and lakes that accompany us to practice in the depths? Nearly half of the disputes in it are inexplicable. If there is a disagreement, the sword will be drawn. A kills B, and B’s son will go all out to kill A and avenge his father. , and then A’s son goes to kill B’s son, you finish killing me, and I kill you again, and it becomes a world feud in an instant, and the killing and killing will be endless..."

Gu Jingyun held his forehead with a headache.

"So," Li Baolu made up his mind with firm eyes, "As the three good citizens of the Great Chu, for our own safety, we will never seek out these Jianghu people who love to cause trouble most if we can hide."

"Your master is also from the Jianghu."

"Do you think a Jianghu person will go shopping with a child hanging around his neck all day, and bargain for some snacks?"

Gu Jingyun: ...

"My master has already been assimilated by us into a good man at home, don't compare me with a rough guy like a Jiang Hu person."

Gu Jingyun saw her look of honor, and couldn't help but asked with a smile, "Then, do you really want to find a teacher's wife for Master so that he can start a family and start a career?"

"This kind of personal problem should be solved by the master himself," Li Baolute said, "it would be better for him to marry someone he likes to be his master's wife, and there is nothing wrong with not having one. For the knights in the world, marrying a wife who has no common language is more painful than being single, and it will be fine if you hurt yourself, and you will hurt others and your children. Anyway, my master is still young, and this kind of issue can be considered slowly. "

The smile on Gu Jingyun's face gradually disappeared, and he thought of his mother.

Her age is indeed considered young in the eyes of the world, and anyone who gets married early can be a grandmother.

But in terms of the remaining lifespan she has left, she is still very young.

Even if she is in poor health, with the current ability of the Qin family, she can keep her alive for at least another twenty years.

He has Baolu to accompany him all the way, and he may have children in the future, so he won't be lonely, but what about her?

He didn't think that as a son, he could always be by her side. Everyone would be lonely, and he wouldn't say something to the wrong person.

Gu Jingyun looked at Li Baolu in a daze.

Li Baolu touched her cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"

The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he stood up and said, "I'll grind the ink for you and write the letter for you."

Li Baolu touched her cheek again inexplicably, and spread out the letter paper after confirming that there was nothing dirty.

Both letters were written by Li Baolu, and Gu Jingyun had never been interested in non-technical letters like reporting safety.

Seeing that Li Baolu had finished writing the letter and sealed it, he got up and said, "It's almost finished eating, let's wash up and go to sleep."

Only then did Li Baolu realize that her stomach was not full, but she was not sleepy anymore.

But at this time, the dew was deeper, and there were only a few low insects chirping outside. It was obvious that the nightlife in Kaifeng had long since ended. Looking at the dark circles under Gu Jingyun's eyes, Li Baolu obediently followed him into bed and lay down.

Li Baolu had been sleeping since noon, but Gu Jingyun had a normal schedule, so she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed, and only Li Baolu stared at the pattern on the curtain with her big round eyes until she painted the pattern on it. She turned her head to stare at Gu Jingyun again, but she was still not sleepy at all.

Oh, it's just distress, I knew I wouldn't sleep so much during the day.

Or maybe he shouldn't have been led to talk so much by Gu Jingyun just now, and should have climbed on the bed as soon as he was full...

But Gu Jingyun is so pretty, the baby fat on his face only left a little shadow, his face gradually opened up, and the corners of his mouth showed some sharp edges and corners, but now because he was asleep, his complexion was soft, and there was a kind of expression that she had never seen before. I have seen handsome and weak.

Li Baolu loved him so much, she couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed his cheek lightly, it was soft, fleshy, and had a faint fragrance...

Li Baolu's face turned red, she pulled up the quilt and buried herself in it, hiding herself like an ostrich.

Gu Jingyun was quite helpless in his heart, and his thunderous heartbeat gradually calmed down. He pretended to turn over and hugged the person under the quilt into his arms.

Li Baolu stayed stiff for a while, making sure that Gu Jingyun hadn't woken up, then secretly lifted the quilt and found a comfortable position in his arms to lie down, staring at the white underwear in front of her, her eyelids gradually became heavy...

If you sleep a lot, you get up early. Before dawn, Li Baolu woke up when the cock crowed three times. Seeing that Gu Jingyun was still asleep, she knew that he hadn't recovered from the fatigue of the journey. She quietly lifted the quilt without calling him. Get out of bed, change clothes and open the door to go out.

The entire yard was quiet, only some faint sounds could be heard from the inn in front, as if the guys in the inn were busy.

Standing in the dark, Li Baolu took a deep breath of the cool air, jumped up to the rockery in the courtyard, and sat cross-legged on it to practice internal strength.

She meditated for half an hour, the darkness gradually dissipated, first a little glow appeared in the sky, and then the red glow broke through more and more clouds, and within a quarter of an hour, half of the sky was dyed red, and the orange-yellow sun also came from the mountain. Pointed out a small corner.

Li Baolu took a deep breath, and was about to stand up and jump off the rockery when the work was over, when she noticed several eyes falling on her, she immediately stopped, and continued to sit on the rockery and look up at the sunrise in the sky.

When the whole sun came out and the door of their room opened, Li Baolu turned her head and waved to Gu Jingyun with a smile, "Husband, come and see, today's sunrise is very beautiful."
