Gu Jinyu was a little disappointed to think that the crown princess had a different plan to give her a gift.
"Miss, the princess asked you to enter the school. Will you go?" Asked the little servant girl.
"I don't know."
A woman should not be seen in public, but this is another chance to make her name famous. When she stays at home, the spread of her fame is limited, and she is eager for more people to see her talents. There is no better place than the Academy.
But she was worried that Mrs. Gu and her mother would not agree.
Mrs. Gu's ideas are more conservative. Her father lobbied her to invite Mr. Xi for a long time.
If you know she's going to study outside——
Gu Jinyu frowned.
Being distressed, the servant reported to the Marquis that he had returned to the mansion.
Gu Jinyu went to the door to meet him.
Marquis Gu has been working in the work department for several days, and his skin has peeled off.
When he came into the house, he saw his daughter coming towards him with a smile on her face.
"Daddy Gu Jinyu gave a sweet call.
Marquis Gu felt that all his tiredness had disappeared in his father's voice. He laughed and looked at his daughter who came to him fondly: "it's so cold. What are you doing out of here?"
"I'll wait for Dad!" Gu Jinyu said with a smile.
Marquis Gu said with satisfaction: "you are the most intimate! By the way, how's your mother? Is she at home
"Yes, my mother just took a rest." Gu Jinyu said.
Marquis Gu frowned: "it's so early. What's the problem?"
As soon as the voice fell, he caught a glimpse of the post in Gu Jinyu's hand, "what are you holding in your hand?"
Gu Jinyu handed the post to Marquis Gu: "the crown princess has run a women's school and wants me to go to school."
Marquis Gu opened it and said, "what does your mother say?"
Gu Jinyu said in a low voice: "my mother has rested. I haven't had time to tell her. What do you think of it?"
Mr. Gu said, "if your mother thinks it's OK, you can go."
Gu Jinyu hesitated: "Grandma's side..."
"For me, it is." Marquis Gu didn't think it was difficult. He thought of something. Marquis Gu asked, "did you give me only one post? Can you tell me how to enroll
Gu Jinyu said: "as for a post, the person who sent the Post said that the famous lady in Beijing is exempt from entrance examination. If anyone wants to enter, she can pass the examination."
"And a test?" Marquis Gu frowned deeply. The girl only knows how to farm the land, but she doesn't know any big characters. How can she get on the exam?
"Is there a way to get another place?" He asked.
Gu Jinyu asked innocently, "does my father want my sister to go to school? I asked. If I could, I would ask the princess to give my sister a place. If I didn't have more, I would like to teach my sister to read and read. "
"I'm afraid you will, but she doesn't appreciate it. Forget it. Put away the quota yourself. " Marquis Gu returned the post to Gu Jinyu. Seeing that she wanted to stop talking, he asked, "what's the matter?"
Gu Jinyu said in a low voice: "my father didn't come back for a few days. Maybe he didn't know something happened in the house."
Marquis Gu asked, "what's the matter?"
Gu Jinyu dropped her eyes, pinched the handkerchief and said, "the third brother... And the second brother are locked in the ancestral temple by the elder brother."
Marquis Gu gasped: "what happened to them? No, your second brother is no longer in trouble. Is it your third brother? What did he do? "
Gu Jinyu's face was embarrassed: "it seems that... The third elder brother and his elder sister were a little upset and were beaten by his elder sister. The third elder brother was seriously injured."
"How can that girl beat everyone?" Gu Hou Ye toothache, stroked his sleeve, cold voice way, "that girl back to the house?"
"Sister..."
"The first lady hasn't come back yet."
Gu Jinyu's words were only half said, and she was interrupted by mammy Fang who didn't know when she appeared nearby.
Mammy Fang saluted them and said, "the third young master bullied the young master and made him have a heart attack. The elder sister was angry and gave him a lesson. The third young master is suffering from skin injuries, which is not worth mentioning compared with the young master. "
It's really a kind of skin injury that can't get out of bed for a month.
Gu Yan is already alive and kicking. Gu Chenglin's suffering has just begun. Every night he is so painful that taking medicine doesn't work.
Mammy Fang sighed: "the third young master has always been spoiled. He cries for his father and mother because of skin injuries. I'm sorry for him. He doesn't cry when he has a heart attack. How disheartened he is, but some people think he's OK."
Gu Jinyu's face was hot.
Mammy Fang's words not only satirized Gu Jinyu, but also put a hat on Gu Chenglin. For a while, even if he saw Gu Chenglin crying, marquis Gu would only think that he was delicate.
Marquis Gu frowned and said, "did Yan'er meet Chenglin?"
Mammy Fang sneered: "it's also a coincidence that the three young masters went to the same Academy. On the first day of school, the three young masters recognized the young master. The young master didn't know him, so he took him to the Chaifang and tied him up for a whole day. Later, he had a heart attack, and only in his dying life could he recover his life."
Marquis Gu was furious: "rebellious son! Let him kneel down in the ancestral hall for me
Coldly speaking, marquis Gu didn't go to see Gu Chenglin's injury. He got on the carriage and went to Bishui Hutong to see Gu Yan.
Only mammy Fang and Gu Jinyu were left on the lawn.
Gu Jinyu opened her mouth.
Mammy Fang bowed to her knees and said, "second lady, it's late. It's time for you to go back and have a rest. Your maidservant will also go back to serve your wife."
"Mammy!" Gu Jinyu called to her, "I was just going to say that."
Mammy Fang nodded: "I understand that although the second young lady is not born in the Marquis's house, it is the wife who pulls up the excrement and urine. How can the second young lady not help the wife and others? Isn't that too cruel? "
Gu Jinyu's face turned white.
Room mother light a smile: "maidservant is a servant, can't speak, please two young ladies bear."
Gu Jinyu didn't know what to say. She felt that she had been scolded, but mother Fang didn't say a word to her.
If mammy Fang is Yao's confidant, Gu Yan can be angry with her. As a good girl, Gu Jinyu can't.
"Mammy, you're serious." Gu Jinyu said, "Mammy, take care of my mother."
Mammy Fang said earnestly: "the second young lady may as well remember what she said. They will not accept the second young lady and will not become her dependence in the future. With all due respect, the only reliable people for the second lady are her wife and the first lady. "
Gu Jinyu smile: "I remember, Mammy."
A girl who grew up in the countryside can only dig food in the field. Why can she become her backer?
Do you know yuan's lame husband from that high school?
Mammy is really old.
--
Marquis Gu went to see Gu Yan. Gu Yan was ok, but he pretended to be dying.
Marquis Gu was so angry that he went back to the mansion. How could old lady Gu come to find him? He also resolutely refused to go to Gu Changqing and let Gu Chenglin out!
Old lady Gu asked someone to send charcoal to Gu Chenglin.
"What kind of charcoal? It's freezing to death
Gu Chenglin's charcoal was confiscated by his father.
Xiao LIULANG also heard a little about the girl's study in the Imperial College.
In fact, this incident is a little different from that spread in the circle. It was not advocated by the crown princess. As early as more than ten years ago, Empress Dowager Zhuang proposed to set up a women's school, but it was unanimously opposed by her majesty and cabinet ministers.
It's over.
Now that the old story is brought up again, the most likely thing is your Majesty's idea.
In the eyes of the imperial court and the common people, the prestige of the imperial court increased sharply. His majesty wanted to accumulate fame and prestige for the royal family, so she opened a women's school in the name of the crown princess.
Since it was set up by the imperial court, the quality of the women's school will not be too bad.
At dinner, Xiao LIULANG talked about women's studies at the dinner table.
Xiaojingkong exclaimed: "girl school? Can Jiao Jiao also go up there? "
The old lady vaguely felt that the word "female learning" sounded strange. She recalled it seriously, but she couldn't remember anything. However, it didn't prevent her from supporting Gu Jiao to study: "you can go."
Gu Jiao: I don't want to go.
Someone who has experienced a series of cruel examinations such as college entrance examination in his previous life said that he doesn't want to open a book in his life.
She was not forced to go to school at home. After all, the feeling of being forced to go to school was too sad.
Xiao LIULANG, Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan and Xiao Jingkong all have deep experience!
After dinner, Xiao Jingkong suddenly looked at Gu Jiao: "Jiao Jiao, I want to eat sugar gourd!"
Gu Jiao looked at his little tiger hat: "OK, I'll buy it for you."
This is the advantage of living on the street. You can buy whatever you want at any time, but you don't have such conditions in the countryside.
"I'll go." Xiao LIULANG said.
"It's not very far." Gu Jiao said.
The old lady waved her hand: "OK, you two go together! Wheezing
They went to Chang'an Street together.
When you go out, the sky has not yet snowed, and half of the snowflakes fall down.
Gu Jiao looked at the flying snow on her head and said with emotion: "the snow in the capital comes so early."
Xiao LIULANG said, "it's not too early this year. Sometimes it's at the end of October."
"Oh." Gu Jiao asked, "have you lived in Beijing for a long time before?"
They seldom ask each other's secrets. It's the first time that such a topic can be mentioned so calmly.
"Well." Xiao LIULANG said.
Gu Jiao did not ask again, some topics were mentioned suddenly, but should not go deep.
She looked at the flowing Street: "the capital is so good."
Xiao LIULANG looked at her: "do you like Beijing?"
"Well." Gu Jiao said, "the capital is bustling."
In fact, she doesn't like lively, but being in a lively environment will make her feel alive more clearly.
The snow was heavy, but the wind stopped and the snowflakes fell quietly.
I remember once in the town, it was such a snowy night, they went out to buy sweet scented osmanthus cake, sat in front of the stall and ate two bowls of steaming tangyuan.
It was a hard time.
She could not bear to buy herself a pocketed egg, only let the boss give him one.
Although the truth is that Gu Jiao doesn't like poached eggs, Xiao LIULANG doesn't know, so he has been moved to the present.
"Oh - how do you walk?"
Gu Jiao bumps into someone. She's a young man on her way.
The young man was nearly knocked down, and Gu Jiao said: "be careful!"
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
It's true that she hit someone.
She is not unreasonable.
She's good from time to time.
She apologized.
The young man could not say anything more and left with a murmur.
People come and go in Chang'an Street. If you don't pay attention, you will bump into it.
Xiao LIULANG took a look at her, but he wanted to say nothing.
It snowed harder and harder, and there was a cold wind.
"Well? Why don't you sell sugar gourd? I remember it was around here during the day Gu Jiao's little hands were stiff. She took them up and put them on her lips.
Xiao LIULANG looked at her hand and moved his fingertips.
But I didn't reach out.
Gu Jiao had a few more breaths and was very cold.
Xiao LIULANG finally got up his courage and raised his hand to hold her hand.
"Ah - found - you see!" Gu Jiao pointed her hand.
Xiao LIULANG's hand fluttered empty, Gu Jiao pointed out and looked back at him. He switched seamlessly, quietly lifted his hand and touched his handsome head.
Gu Jiao went over and asked for five strings of sugar gourd: "by the way, little brother, do you have any less sugar in your sugar gourd?"
The peddler smiles: "coincidentally, girl, it's true! My little nephew is only one year old and loves to eat this, but it's not good to eat too many teeth, so I made some of them. They look red, but they don't put much sugar! "
"Well, can I have two?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Good!" The vendor took two strings of unsweetened sugar gourd to Gu Jiao, "a total of 70 Wen, and then send you a small one."
"Thank you very much." Gu Jiao took the sugar gourd and held them all in one hand. It was so big that she could hardly catch them.
Xiao LIULANG saw that she was struggling and said to her, "I'll come."
Gu Jiao shook her head: "no! I'll take it! "
Then he turned and walked back.
Xiao LIULANG clung to his crutch.
Walking, suddenly a soft hand stretched over, holding his hand.
Xiao LIULANG was stunned.
Gu Jiao tilted her head, blinked her eyes and said, "if you take the sugar gourd, you can't hold my hand. Don't you want to hold it just now?"
Xiao LIULANG's face turned red, and suddenly his heart was full.
