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

As soon as Li Baolu set foot on the land of Guangzhou, she breathed a sigh of relief, and carried her family's luggage into their carriage.

Gu Jingyun bid farewell to shopkeeper He of Baolai.

Shopkeeper He said regretfully: "Young Master Gu, you really don't want to go to the other courtyard of the He family? It's very close to the Gong Yuan, and the area is full of students rushing for the exam. It's very convenient for Young Master Gu to exchange homework and go to the exam."

Gu Jingyun declined politely, "I made an appointment with the same subject when I came to take the college examination last year, so it's really not good to bother shopkeeper He."

Shopkeeper He could only watch them leave regretfully.

The He family is the largest firm in Qiongzhou, but it is not well-known in Guangzhou, barely ranked among the top ten.

Gu Jingyun has become a talent at a young age, if he can go one step further with him, there will be only advantages and no disadvantages with the He family.

His gaze swept over Li Baolu who was stroking the horse's neck affectionately, Gu Jingyun walked to her side, whispered to her twice, and was helped into the carriage by her.

The two stood together not like a husband and wife, but like a master and servant.

But Shopkeeper He didn't dare to underestimate Li Baolu. Last year, she dared to come alone to finalize Gu Jingyun's itinerary with him, and when Gu Jingyun talked to her, there was always a tenderness in his eyes unconsciously. At this time, Gu Jingyun was even more direct Sitting on the shaft of the car and waiting for her.

The shaft of a chariot has always been the place where the servants sit, who would condescend to such a talented scholar?

But whether it was last year or now, all he saw were two people sitting side by side on the shaft of the car.

It's just that I don't know if this young Mrs. Gu can occupy Gu Jingyun forever.

Shopkeeper He watched the two people's carriage disappear into the crowd before turning his eyes away. The second steward had been waiting by the side. Seeing Shopkeeper He come back to his senses, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Shopkeeper, there are quite a few ladies of the right age in the house. If Gu The young master has passed the examination, so it is not a loss for the young lady to marry into the Gu family."

It is said to be married, but in fact it is to be Gu Jingyun's concubine.

But the He family is a merchant, so they don't think there is anything wrong with sending a girl from the family to be a concubine.

"Mr. Gu is too young. He is deeply attached to Mrs. Gu and his wife now. I'm afraid it will backfire." Shopkeeper He said flatly: "Just wait a little longer. As long as we keep in touch with Mr. Gu, opportunities will always exist."

He paused and said: "The business with Qiongzhou cloth workshop is more careful. Although Mr. Gu didn't say it clearly, this business should be entirely his. Zhang Yiyan is just managing it on his behalf."

It's no wonder Shopkeeper He looked down on Zhang Yiyan. Zhang Yiyan was not only a criminal, but also lacked qualifications. He was like a newborn baby in front of Shopkeeper He.

Gu Jingyun, who was missed, went straight to the inn where they stayed last time. Before entering the door, a young man in white clothes trotted out and laughed when he saw Gu Jingyun, "Brother Gu, I knew it when I saw it from a distance upstairs." It's you, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, you don't know how hard I waited for you, you thought you were going to arrive during the exam..."

Gu Jingyun jumped off the carriage, shook hands and smiled, "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Ning grabbed his hand and said with a smile on his face, "Why are you being polite to me? Come on, come home with me."

The shopkeeper of the inn rushed out to stop him, and begged for mercy: "Mr. Zhao, don't compete with the little old man. Mr. Gu, your guest room has been prepared for you, and it is still the one you stayed in before. Don't worry. The cleaning is clean and refreshing. Your consumption in this store is free, I just hope you stay here until the end of Qiu Wei."

Zhao Ning said displeasedly, "I'm brother Gu in the same department. It's only natural for me to drag him to live with him. How can I compete with you for business?"

After Zhao Ning was admitted as a scholar last year, he rented a yard in Guangzhou to live in. While studying, he waited for Qiu Wei. His yard was quite big, so he invited Gu Jingyun to live there.

The innkeeper is naturally unwilling to give up Gu Jingyun's living advertisement. After Gu Jingyun left last year, many students came to live in his inn. Room, if Gu Jingyun gets good grades in Qiu Wei in his inn again this year, the innkeeper can literally see the money flying straight at him.

So even if he offends a student like Zhao Ning, he will snatch Gu Jingyun over.

Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth, turned his head and asked Baolu, "Where do you want to live?"

Only then did the two people who snatched people realize that there was such an important person as Li Baolu, and they all looked over eagerly.

The two of them were about to confess their love again when they heard Li Baolu say: "Stay with Mr. Zhao, don't you like to be quiet?"

Zhao Ning was overjoyed.

The innkeeper was so disappointed that he was about to cry.

Li Baolu couldn't bear it, so she turned her head and asked Zhao Ning, "Young Master Zhao, didn't you rent the yard, why are you still in the inn?"

"Students who passed the exam with us last year still live in this inn. I like to take books to read with everyone on weekdays. If there are any questions that I don't understand, I can ask for advice."

"This is a good idea." Li Baolu nodded, turned to Gu Jingyun and said, "You can come with Mr. Zhao in the future."

The shopkeeper of the inn lifted his spirits when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Then I will spare a room for Mr. Gu to take a lunch break. If there are any friends at that time, there will be a place to stay. Don't worry, I don't want any money, as long as Mr. Gu is free Just come to the inn and show your face."

Li Baolu twitched the corners of her mouth. She intended to reserve a table for Gu Jingyun so that she wouldn't have to wait in line.

Anyway, it is impossible for Gu Jingyun to stay at home and read alone all the time, and he will definitely follow Zhao Ning to the inn when the time comes.

However, Li Baolu happily accepted the innkeeper's kind words. After all, it was her family, Jing Yun, who took advantage of the convenience.

Seeing that they had agreed, Zhao Ning would not let them in at the door of the inn, so he immediately took them to the yard he rented.

The yard he rented was not far from the inn, and it took only half a quarter of an hour to take a shortcut to the inn, but the yard was deep in the alley, very quiet, and in broad daylight one could only faintly hear the voices of people coming from the other side of the road. On the contrary, the chirping of birds in the trees on the side of the road is louder and clearer.

Zhao Ning knocked on the door, and his book boy immediately came to open the door. Seeing his master leading Mr. Gu back who they had been waiting for, he happily called out "Mr. Gu, Miss Li", and quickly removed the threshold. Alright, let Li Baolu drive the carriage in.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances, the first entrance has three main rooms, the middle is used as the main room for entertaining guests, Zhao Ning himself lives in the east room facing the sun, and the west room is temporarily vacant.

There is a well in the first yard, and two wing rooms are built along the wall on the east side, one is used to store sundries, and the other is used as a kitchen.

The west side was turned into a stable. At this time, a mule was tied inside. When the mule saw the horse led by Li Baolu, it lowered its head to let out a sigh of relief, and moved to the side actively, leaving a large space for the horse. .

Zhao Ning led them to the second entrance. Compared with the common ones of the first entrance, the second entrance is much more beautiful.

There are three main rooms on the front of the second entrance, the one on the west side is used as a guest room, where Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu lived, and the one on the east side is used as a study room. The best thing is that the one on the east side has a large door When you open the window, you can see a mountain when you look out. The mountain is full of lush trees, and it looks very lively.

On the east side of the yard, a peach tree was planted, with many fruits hanging on it at this time, and on the west side, there was a clump of ordinary shelves, with many light green grapes hanging down from it.

When Gu Jingyun saw the two kinds of fruits in the yard, he turned the corner of his eyes to Li Baolu, and sure enough, he saw her eyes were bright, staring at the two fruit trees motionlessly.

He was quite helpless, turned to Zhao Ning and said, "The backyard is nice, no wonder you rent here."

"I found it after searching for a long time. The best thing is that our neighbor is a head catcher working in the government office. Robbers and thieves will stay away from here, and it is safe to go in and out at night."

He is not afraid even if it is not safe, Gu Jingyun glanced at his wife and thanked him with a smile.

Li Baolu carried their luggage into the house, and this time they brought a lot of books with them, as well as a lot of Gu Jingyun's notes, which was one of the reasons why she chose to live here with Zhao Ning.

There are too many things, and the inn looks cramped.

Of course, the main reason is that Gu Jingyun likes to be quiet.

Gu Jingyun, who likes to be quiet, leaned against the window of the study and looked at the distant mountains comfortably, and Zhao Ning's exclamation kept ringing in his ears.

"Brother Gu, where did you get this "Qin Xiu Zhuan Zhu"? It is said that it was compiled by Qin Daru for the students of Jinxiu when Jinxiu was just established more than 30 years ago. It contains not only the handouts of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also Some historical notes are one of the best reference answers to the imperial examinations over the years. It’s just that there were too few printed in those days, and they were only circulated in Jinxiu, so it’s hard to find a copy outside.”

Gu Jingyun glanced at it, and said: "It's left by our ancestors, Brother Zhao can make a copy if you like."

Zhao Ning was so moved that he almost shed tears, "Brother Gu, not only are you willing to lend me a copy, but you are also willing to copy it for me?"

Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded.

These are his grandfather's books, and there should be many left in the Qin family's ancestral house.

Zhao Ning put the book aside cherishingly, and picked up a copy of "University" to read. Seeing that it was full of annotations, he blinked and looked at it quietly, and found that each line was translated in Baiwen, and on the side was He immediately felt parched, holding the book in his hand nervously and asked cautiously, "Gu, Brother Gu, can I take a look at this "University"?"

Gu Jingyun was so noisy that he couldn't bear to look at the scenery. He turned around and glanced at the book in his hand, frowned, and nodded his head despite some reluctance.

Zhao Ning naturally also noticed Gu Jingyun's reluctance, but for the sake of the imperial examination, he pretended not to see it brazenly, and anxiously turned to the article he had been puzzled by. After he finished reading through the small-character translations, he read the annotations again. Not only that, but he also figured out related questions by inferring other cases from one instance.

Looking at Gu Jingyun who was as cold as ice, Zhao Ning sighed, "You don't need to talk to Jun, just reading your manuscript is better than reading ten years of books."

Zhao Ning stood up and saluted Gu Jingyun solemnly, "Thank you Brother Gu for your enlightenment."

Gu Jingyun's face turned weird, and said: "This book is not mine, and the annotations on it are not made by me."

"What?" Zhao Ning was stunned, and remained motionless while bowing.

Li Baolu, who had been silently arranging the books at the back, coughed lightly, raised her hand and said, "This book is mine, and it contains the notes I made."

Gu Jingyun seemed very happy, but he said to Zhao Ning with a look of disgust: "Brother Zhao laughed, she always didn't understand the ancient meaning when she was young, so she could only write down the translation sentence by sentence, and Mr. It's all written on one side, it's so messy, there are really dirty pages."

"No," Zhao Ning said blankly, "Sibling and sister wrote too well..."
