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

Zhao Ning stayed in Gu Jingyun's house for half a night, and everyone who knew him the next day knew about Gu Jingyun's background. It didn't take long for the scholars in the inn to know that Gu Jingyun's wife was not only his childhood sweetheart, but also his classmate. .

Although he has a brilliant literary talent, he doesn't know much about the world. Although he is aloof but not arrogant, and because he is the youngest, everyone is used to giving way when getting along with him.

Looking at Li Baolu, who never left him at every step, it was not so unpleasant. The two children were unavoidably frightened when they left their homes, and it was understandable to rely on him closely.

The ages of Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu are too deceptive, not to mention that Li Baolu is only eleven years old, even Gu Jingyun is only thirteen years old.

Moreover, Li Baolu's chubby face is full of childishness, and she is wearing a double bun, which makes her look even smaller. In addition, Gu Jingyun's face is full of arrogance. When everyone looks at this young couple, it is really hard for them to think in a wretched place.

Everyone just opened their eyes and closed their eyes as if they couldn't see the disrespect of the two of them. Later, when Gu Jingyun habitually took Li Baolu's hand and walked away in public, the adults would read two love poems and laugh a little, However, Gu Jingyun was not shy, and instead responded with a sentence or two.

As time went by, many people discovered that Gu Jingyun didn't bring a single book with him, but he was able to catch up on what they were talking about. What surprised them most was that Gu Jingyun not only took up the conversation in the Four Books History Collection, but even talked about some of the things they talked about. You can interface with miscellaneous books, and the breadth and abundance of reading is shocking.

They are twice his age, some more, but they are far behind him. Some people are dissatisfied or jealous of him, but they know not to offend him. Such a talent, as long as he can live, will always come out ahead. one day.

Based on this, many people are happy to curry favor with Gu Jingyun and have a good relationship with him.

Zhao Ning already had a good impression of Gu Jingyun, and after seeing his potential, he worked harder to manage this relationship. Gu Jingyun also had a good impression of him, so he had the closest relationship with Zhao Ning in the entire inn.

Gu Jingyun's reputation quickly spread among the candidates. Many people took advantage of the opportunity to ask questions to watch Gu Jingyun, and some deliberately made things difficult for him. What Gu Jingyun is most afraid of is this kind of embarrassment. With these, his reputation will spread far and wide. Even the prefect of Guangzhou knows that there is an amazingly talented student among the candidates for this year's government examination.

"Is this really okay? What if the people in the capital know about it?" No wonder Li Baolu was worried, Gu Jingyun made the commotion too loud, and now many people know that there is a genius in Guangzhou.

Gu Jingyun said calmly: "Guangzhou and Beijing are separated by half a big Chu, and the news flow is lagging behind. How could they know? My father is afraid that he doesn't even know my name." He added: "Don't worry, as long as Guangzhou No one in the mansion knows that I am from the Zhongyonghou mansion in the capital. Who would deliberately spread the news to the capital? Guangdong is too remote, and the style of writing is far less prosperous than Shandong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There are more geniuses in those two places, and I am almost fourteen. Well, let’s put Guangdong as a young genius, let’s talk about it in Shandong and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, hmph, there are a lot of geniuses who are seven or eight years old.”

This is true, Li Baolu has also heard people talking about geniuses from other places in the inn, the most famous ones are Xu Jiuyan from Zhejiang and Qi Lekang from Shandong.

Xu Jiuyan was qualified as a child student at the age of eight, and was selected as a scholar at the age of nine. He is now the head of the case. This year, he is sixteen years old. It is said that he will take the provincial examination next year.

Qi Lekang also did not give up. He also passed the examination of scholar when he was twelve years old, and he was also the leader of the case, but he was most praised for his good handwriting.

He is only eighteen years old this year, but he has already developed another typeface from his face. Once a famous Confucianist read his handwriting and concluded that he would become a master in the future.

In addition to his self-created fonts, his first-hand facial features have reached the peak, and Xu Jiuyan's teacher Yan Daru said when he saw it: "In ten years, no one can match it."

You must know that Yan Daru is recognized as the best scholar of contemporary facial features, and even he said that, which shows how powerful Qi Lekang is.

Compared with these two, Gu Jingyun's current reputation is really not worth mentioning, because he became famous too late. Apart from solid academics, extensive reading, and outstanding literary talent, everyone has not discovered his other advantages.

Therefore, his reputation is only spread among the young scholars in Guangzhou Prefecture.

Li Baolu felt relieved, and continued to sit leisurely in the corner guarding Gu Jingyun as if she didn't exist.

Everyone doesn't know why the young couple stay together anytime, anywhere, as if they are inseparable. Speaking of Gu Jingyun going out to talk about history and Taoism, you are just waiting in the room, why do you have to be a follower?

However, Gu Jingyun knew that Li Baolu wanted to protect his safety, so he pretended he didn't understand everyone's veiled advice, and insisted on taking Li Baolu with him wherever he went.

And Li Baolu is a martial arts practitioner, and she often goes hunting with her master. As long as she wants to, she can quickly reduce her sense of existence to the greatest extent. Li Baolu would sit in a corner when they were arguing over an article, or when they spoke ill of someone behind their backs, remembering everyone's expressions and words clearly.

Li Baolu didn't want to remember it, but her memory was so good that she couldn't help being curious, so she accidentally wrote it down.

Gu Jingyun, who was full of gossip at night: "..."

And just when Gu Jingyun's fame was getting bigger and bigger, the government tried it.

The government test is a bit more difficult than the county test, but to Gu Jingyun, they are similar and equally simple. This time, he still did not hide his clumsiness, and still handed in the paper after finishing the examination early.

Now even the examiners couldn't help but look sideways at him, and the magistrate even read his exam papers directly, and couldn't help but applaud after reading it, "I didn't expect there to be such a great talent under my rule."

"It's just too arrogant," the deputy examiner shook his head and said, "Every time I only stay in the examination room for half a day, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk far if I'm so proud."

Confucianism pays attention to moderation, and depending on how talented you are, it is difficult to make people like you if you are so independent.

The magistrate smiled and stroked his beard and said, "It's hard to be proud of a talented person. I heard that he is not yet fourteen. It is rare for me to find such a talent in Guangzhou in a hundred years."

The deputy examiner knew that the magistrate wanted to focus on training him, so he couldn't help but remain silent.

Naturally, Gu Jingyun's literary talents are not to be mentioned, and his answers are all correct, the handwriting is good-looking, and the paper is clean and tidy, but because he is too arrogant, the deputy examiner discussed with several examiners that it would be almost enough to give him the third place. His arrogance.

But the magistrate said so, they can only mention him first.

As soon as the results were released, the shopkeeper of the inn immediately took back the rent paid by Li Baolu, saying that he covered all their accommodation, and only hoped that Gu Jingyun could write an inscription for his inn when he left.

Li Baolu counted their money, took the money bag decisively, patted his chest to the shopkeeper and said, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I'll let him do the questions after the exam."

The shopkeeper knew that Li Baolu could be Gu Jingyun's master, so he left with a smile.

Gu Jingyun stood behind Li Baolu and asked quietly, "Could it be that Master's words are only worth twenty taels?"

"It's not bad if it's worth twenty taels now." Li Baolu happily counted the money, and said, "You can write a piece of writing and sell it now. If you can sell it for one tael, it's just to please you. We will buy it for you. Staying outside for three years, only going out but not going in, can't you save some money? This month you spent twelve taels on treats and drinks, and that's not counting our food for this month. I'll have more in two days Going to the pharmacy to buy some standing medicines will cost a lot of money.”

Gu Jingyun frowned and said, "In a while, Qiongzhou should be able to negotiate a sum of money..."

Li Baolu shook her head, "Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself. Even if there is money to be made, let Zhang Yiyan keep it. Don't forget that uncle and the others are still there. Mother's health has always been poor, and we can't take care of it outside. Save more money? If something goes wrong, even if you throw money at it, you can make a way out, but if you don’t even have money..."

Gu Jingyun nodded, "I understand, you can keep the money."

Li Baolu put the money into the bag and hid the bag well.

They exchanged large sums of money for bank notes and hid them next to their bodies, but they also brought a lot of small change, and they were not light. They put it in a bag and Li Baolu carried it on his back.

Three days after the release of the results of the government examination, there was the hospital examination, so the candidates who passed the government examination all stayed in the inn and took the time to review, hoping to memorize more.

Some of the candidates who did not pass the government examination immediately checked out and went home, and most of them stayed in the inn to wait for the hospital examination, so as to get more news.

It's just that they failed the rankings, so they couldn't help but drink away their sorrows, and the quiet and noisy in the inn became different.

Gu Jingyun had no books to read, so he simply stayed in his room and played chess by himself, instead of going out to find someone to play with as usual.

He did so well in the exam, and all the people he saw when he went out were those who failed the exam. Isn't he looking for hatred?

Zhao Ning came to him with a book in his hand, and seeing him sitting leisurely at the table playing games with his left and right hands, he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You are so leisurely, I'm almost dying of nervousness."

"Your ranking is not low this time, why are you nervous?"

Zhao Ning smiled wryly, "There are still candidates who have not passed the previous exam. I may not be on the list, so I came to talk to you. You said I should read the manual in these three days?"

Zhao Ning brought a lot of scriptures, which he bought in the bookstore, and some of them were even bought by family members.

Gu Jingyun was silent for a moment and said: "You have read all these, and it is useless to read them again. After all, these scriptures belong to others, and you can't just copy them. It is better to find out the Four Books and read them again, and write down the source of the allusions inside. Just remember the meaning."

Zhao Ning's eyes lit up, and he decisively carried the books in his arms back to the house to change another pile. He smiled flatteringly at Li Baolu and said, "Please make it easier for me to find a place in the house to study my homework."

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun, then pointed to a chair beside the desk and said, "If Brother Zhao doesn't mind, you can sit there."

Zhao Ning quickly grabbed the chair and took out the books to read. He had already read the four books, but the depth of each reading was different. The meaning, allusion, word meaning, background, influence, no one knows what will be tested.

And there is always something he doesn't understand, he just hopes that Gu Jingyun can give him some advice when he has doubts.

Gu Jingyun was never stingy here, he answered all his questions, Zhao Ning was quiet and had little influence on him, although he would feel a little uncomfortable if the person opposite him was not Baolu, but he didn't mind after he was immersed in the chess game.
