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

Li Baolu happened to see Wan Zhihe on stage when Li Baolu wandered to the piano art competition venue. Most of the competitions in this competition were girls, and there were only a few boys.

Qin Wenyin and a temperament teacher were sitting on the stage to comment. After a contestant played a piece, they would evaluate the score on the spot.

In this way, you only need to add the scores and arrange them in the end.

The courtyard next door was the venue for the calligraphy competition. When Li Baolu wandered over, he saw Gu Jingyun standing behind the table frowning and evaluating the accepted entries.

She couldn't help but stop, pursed her lips and looked at him happily.

Gu Jingyun saw her as soon as he looked up, nodded slightly to her, and speeded up the movements of his hands calmly.

In all competitions, results were given on the spot, and the calligraphy competition was the same. Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang, who were specially invited to be calligraphy referees, had just drawn out a copybook, while Gu Jingyun had already drawn two in a row.

The two couldn't help being slightly taken aback, and looked up at Gu Jingyun.

Gu Jingyun was earnestly assessing with lowered brows, dotted two red characters on the big paper just opened, and then drew a circle, then put the paper aside for Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lefu to review.

This is for one person to use for two people. The corners of their mouths twitched and they asked, "Brother Gu, in a hurry?"

"It's almost time for lunch."

The two of them didn't need to raise their heads, they could roughly know the current time just by feeling the sun. Hearing this, their foreheads jumped and they said, "Brother Gu eats so early?"

Gu Jingyun remained silent, and handed them the corrected papers, "When you are free some other day, I invite Brother Xu and Brother Qi to the Zhuangyuan Building."

It seems that they are really in a hurry. Although the three of them are Jinshi on the same list, they seldom do activities together due to their different identities.

As soon as Gu Jingyun was awarded an official, he was a lecturer of the fourth rank, while Xu Jiuyan was the editor of the seventh rank, and Qi Lekang was admitted to study in the Imperial Academy, and was just promoted to the editor of the seventh rank this year.

Gu Jingyun was three ranks higher than them, and he had no intention of political power, so he rarely appeared in the Hanlin Academy, not to mention inviting them to dinner, and he rarely even attended the gatherings of his colleagues.

Because the restaurants and teahouses where everyone gathers have special services, it would be good for Gu Jingyun to attend once out of ten times, and that time he will definitely leave early.

So the three of them had never eaten alone.

Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang looked at each other, and they both quickened their movements in order to show off Gu Jingyun's face.

After the results were counted, Xu Jiuyan let out a sigh of relief, raised his head and was about to rub his neck when he saw Li Baolu who was in the crowd.

The round face made her look a bit delicate, she was smiling and looking at the stage affectionately, the most important thing was that she was not wearing the school uniform of Qingxi Academy, and she was wearing a woman's hair bun.

Xu Jiuyan followed her gaze and saw Gu Jingyun who was standing not far away announcing the results. He couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, reached out and poked Qi Lekang and said, "It turns out that a beautiful woman has an appointment, no wonder it's so urgent."

Qi Lekang followed his gaze, couldn't help but blushed, and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Brother Xu, it's better not to look at evil."

It was only then that Xu Jiuyan remembered that Qi Lekang was not married yet. He glanced up and down at Qi Lekang, lowered his voice and chuckled, "Brother Qi is too shy."

Qi Lekang kept his face sullen and didn't speak, but his ears were blushing.

"It's no wonder that Brother Gu got married early, but the wedding was just recently made up. It should be a consummation, a newlywed." Xu Jiuyan glanced back and forth between Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun, and sighed softly: "I used to think he could It was a fluke to get the first prize in the exam, but I have been in the Imperial Academy all these years, and I really feel sorry for him, I just thought that he has come through all hardships, but now it seems that he is very lucky."

"Not everyone in the world can get such a good wife," Xu Jiuyan's voice was barely audible, "Just the reopening of the women's school shows her breadth of mind and wisdom."

Qi Lekang put away the things silently, then turned around and handed the things to Gu Jingyun.

They were invited by the academy to be referees, so these things should naturally be handed over to Gu Jingyun, and the janitors would hand them over to Gu Jingyun to take them back for statistics and seal them up.

After the results came out and the proctors in the morning were over, Gu Jingyun said goodbye to the two of them, "How about inviting the two when I have free time?"

Qi Lekang and Xu Jiuyan responded with a smile, watching Gu Jingyun walk towards Li Baolu.

Li Baolu showed him a big smile, walked up to him reservedly and asked, "Are you tired?"

Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly, "I have been a calligraphy referee in the morning, why am I tired?"

The two walked out side by side, and the students next to them had already seen the strangeness, but Qi Lekang and Xu Jiuyan admired their boldness, even if they were husband and wife, they shouldn't get so close in public.

Xu Jiuyan felt more truly the tolerance of Qingxi Academy and the benefits of reopening the women's school.

Qi Lekang is even worse. He comes from Shandong, a province with a large imperial examination. There are more girls studying there, and the rules for girls are stricter. Similarly, there are more girls with "rebellious" thoughts than other places.

And no matter how rebellious the girls are, no married woman or girl would dare to walk side by side with a man so close, even if that man is her husband or father.

"It will take effect from top to bottom, and within ten years, the bondage of folk women should be lighter."

Xu Jiuyan nodded slightly, but his eyes were a little lost, and his complexion couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

"Aren't those two people from the Academy just now? I've never seen them before." Li Baolu asked curiously.

Gu Jingyun nodded, "One is Qi Lekang and the other is Xu Jiuyan. They are both Jinshi in the same class as me. Xu Jiuyan's husband, Taifu Yan, has a good relationship with Su Shanzhang, and his calligraphy is also very good, so the academy invited him to be the referee, and Qi Lekang ,"

Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "He is most famous for his facial features. In ten years, I am afraid that he will be able to form a family of his own. Among the three of us, he is the one with the best calligraphy skills."

Gu Jingyun stretched out his hand to hook her fingers, Li Baolu immediately withdrew his hand, crossed his hands in front of his belly, and gave him a dark look.

Today she is wearing a narrow-sleeved hufu, without wide sleeves to cover her, she will be spotted as soon as she holds hands, she doesn't want people to watch.

The two of them just walked to the front of the Chunhui Courtyard, and there was a loud exclamation from inside, Li Baolu couldn't help but pause, "How many competitions are there in the Chunhui Courtyard today?"

"It seems that there are only three in the morning, do you want to go in and have a look?"

"Go in and have a look."

There are very quiet competitions in Chunhui Courtyard, one is embroidery, the other is chess, and the other is painting.

Li Baolu was very curious why there was such a loud exclamation in such a quiet event.

Gu Jingyun followed her in, and just after turning the corner, the two of them were stunned by the scene in the courtyard.

There were six rows of stools lined up on the front lawn, and a contestant was sitting on each stool. They were holding an embroidery shed in their hands, and they were embroidering a pot of crabapple flowers in front of them with flying needles.

What made the two feel twinkling was that the four sitting in the middle of the first row were boys, and they should not be too conspicuous among a group of girls.

Li Baolu looked at them in amazement, only to see that their movements were not slow at all, they took the embroidery shed brush and began to tie down, and the thread was quickly formed on the embroidery shed.

Li Baolu stood on tiptoe slightly, stretched her neck to look at it, her eyes couldn't help flashing amazement, although the flowers hadn't been embroidered yet, they already had a shape, it looked much better than her embroidered ones.

Gu Jingyun also commented: "It looks better than you."

Li Baolu twitched her mouth and turned her head to look at the painting competition field behind the Moon Gate. There were only contestants and referees there, and all the students onlookers came here, apparently attracted by them.

Li Baolu said softly: "No matter what, they are brave. This is something to be admired."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "But I'm curious why they learn this, do they still do embroidery at home?"

"Maybe it's interest?" Li Baolu glanced at him and said, "Shouldn't people be allowed to be interested?"

"May!"

The two stood on the sidelines watching the game. The students onlookers were all too excited. In addition, the two of them were about the same age as them, so no one discovered their identities for a while, and only thought they were the same students as them.

There are really too many students onlookers, both boys and girls.

Because in this day and age, girls learn riding and archery are rare, but there are some, which is not uncommon. But it is too rare for boys to be able to embroider.

Especially the boys of Qingxi Academy, they are rushing to the imperial examination, have you ever seen any official embroidering with an embroidery needle?

Just thinking about them gives me chills!

Therefore, among the onlookers, most of the boys looked contemptuous, a few were silent, and only a few were secretly cheering them on.

But among the girls, it was the opposite, most of them were cheering them on, some of them waited and watched curiously, their attitudes were mixed, and only a very few were contemptuous and ridiculed.

But the four people in the field seemed unaffected, and they were flying needles with their heads down. Now that the field was over, they naturally made psychological preparations in advance.

Although I didn't expect so many people to come to the game.

Gu Jingyun glanced at the noisy onlookers, frowned slightly, pulled Baolu, and went forward to find Mr. Cheng as the referee and Mr. Liu as the supervisor.

"Two gentlemen, does the competition venue allow the students to be so noisy?"

The two gentlemen looked at each other, and Qi Qi returned the salute to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu: "I also ask Mr. Gu and Mr. Li to help."

Gu Jingyun frowned slightly, then nodded in response, turned around and looked at the students watching, and slightly raised his voice, "Quiet!"

But no one listened to him.

It should be said that few people heard him speak in the noise.

Gu Jingyun frowned and looked at Li Baolu.

Li Baolu's face darkened, and he glanced at the audience coldly, raised his spirits, and said in a deep voice, "Quiet!"

The sound rang violently in everyone's ears, and everyone was stunned.

Li Baolu glanced at them in displeasure, overwhelmed them with power, and said in a deep voice: "Where have you learned etiquette? Embroidery, painting and chess all require quietness. The academy didn't make specific requirements, so don't you?" Do you know that you need to respect the contestants, sir, and the game?"
