Chapter 395: Beating
Those who came to participate in the competition looked at her a little strange for a while, probably thinking that she entered the finals because she knew the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and walked through the back door. There was a lot of discussion all around, and some of them were very piercing to the ears.
These people who rely on their crafts to eat, although their status is not high, they are all a little arrogant, and they are the most difficult to see through the back door.
Guo Wenying felt a headache, but she couldn't tell the difference, so she just didn't hear it and stepped aside.
At this moment, two officials came out of the gate of the Ministry of Works, and told them to line up to enter, and in the far left room inside, someone was registering the drawings handed in, each with their names written on them, and then affixed with seals.
Guo Wenying was relatively backward, and it took her turn for a long time, she handed in the drawings, and the registered official glanced at her with disdain, "Xu Zhong?"
Guo Wenying nodded, and the official buried his head in writing the word Xu Zhong, pasted it on the seal, and then asked people to take it to the inner room and put it.
After handing in the drawings, there will be nothing to do. Coming out of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he raised his eyes and suddenly saw Guo Wenyun coming this way, he was obviously a lot haggard, the original noble son, but now he is like an eggplant beaten by frost, and he can't even walk straight.
Guo Wenying was stunned, if he hadn't glared at her angrily, he would have thought that he had recognized the wrong person for a while. I can't help but wonder in my heart, how did Guo Wenyun become like this?
She has been in the palace all the time, and she rarely cares about the Guo family, and she doesn't know anything about Guo Wenyun's dismissal.
Guo Wenyun said that he was impeached by the imperial history, saying that he wandered around the flower streets and willow alleys all day long, ruined his reputation, and lost his official dignity in order to fight for a singer and a mouthful. But because of this, he was dismissed, and the punishment was too heavy, not only that, but even his position as the son of the world was in jeopardy. The third uncle, Guo Yinian, is now in the capital, and he is bent on letting the eldest brother give up the title and his son Guo Wenqian inherit the title.
Compared with Guo Wenyun, a prodigal son who has obtained an official and a half-position with the shadow of his ancestors, and only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, Guo Wenqian is obviously much better, he is a scholar in the imperial examination, the fourth place is passed on, and he just entered the Hanlin Academy this year to make a book, although the grade is not high, but it is very promising. In addition, he is talented in his own right, can write poems and lyrics, and also paints good paintings, and is very famous among literati.
Now the Guo family intends to cultivate him, and is preparing to ask for the title of excerpt, abolishing Guo Wenyun's position as the son, and Guo Wenqian will inherit the title.
This matter is also supported by the Dingguo Gong of Dongfu, and if the Guo family wants to carry it forward, it is not possible to rely on some gentlemen who can only spend time drinking. Therefore, the two governments jointly discussed and launched Guo Wenqing and Guo Wenqian to focus on building, and devoted the whole government to support the two.
Because of this incident, Guo Wenyun's life in the Guo family was particularly sad, his father Guo Yixian was ordered by the emperor to think about it behind closed doors, and he didn't even dare to go out, and he couldn't speak at all. At this time, the Yongding Marquis Mansion had already been occupied by the third uncle, and he lived in the mansion in a grand manner.
For Guo Wenyun, this is a catastrophe, once he loses his title, he will be nothing. But for Mrs. Fu, the palms and backs of her hands are all meat, and the two sons and grandsons are all biological, so whoever inherits the title is the same. Under her deliberate favoritism, Guo Yinian became more and more rampant, not only uniting with the clansmen of the Guo family in Yongzhou to help Guo Yiqian, but also wanting to drive Guo Wenyun out of the Guo family.
So Guo Wenyun is now a rat crossing the street, and he can't find any foreign help. It is also because he doesn't know how to be a man on weekdays, and his popularity is too bad, which has caused everyone to push the wall down now, and a bunch of people want to oppose him. In this atmosphere, it's no wonder that he can be so good.
He originally went to the Ministry of Industry today to see if he could find another errand, although he couldn't have a grade, he had some money to take. I didn't expect to see Guo Wenying here.
He was already angry with Guo Wenying, seeing her at this time was really like seeing an enemy, his eyes were about to burst into flames, if he hadn't known that he couldn't beat her, he would have pounced over and bit her hard.
Guo Wenying's face was calm, she nodded to him slightly, and was about to leave, Guo Wenyun stopped her and said hatefully: "Dead girl, what are you doing here?"
Guo Wenying ignored him and wanted to leave, but he was lazy and stopped to death, she couldn't help but say: "Guo Wenyun, what do you want?"
Guo Wenyun sneered, "You are a female official in the palace who actually ran out of the palace without permission and lingered here, don't you still want to participate in some hundred crafts competition?"
He said it casually, but when he saw her face change color, he couldn't help but be very proud, and said even more rampantly: "It's already a crime for you to deceive the king by pretending to be a man in the court, and now you are disguising yourself as a man and mixing into the Hundred Workers Competition, what is the world of Nanqi, are all the men in Nanqi dead?"
These words are really heart-wrenching, Guo Wenying has pretended to be a man for so many years, no one has ever said such things to her, and she also knows that her every move is not tolerated in the world, but as a modern person with the idea of equality between men and women, she actually doesn't feel that she has anything wrong. Even subconsciously, she is competing with men.
However, she also knew that once this matter was exposed, it would be a breakthrough, how could those defenders who claimed that the court was a man's world allow her to be a woman to point fingers and point to the country. Or those who hate her so much behind their backs are not unaware of the inside story, but they are looking for an opportunity, an opportunity to bring her down at any time.
Thinking of what Guo Wenqing said to her that day, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, I am afraid that there are not a few people in the world who think like Guo Wenyun.
At this time, she was really afraid that he would suddenly shout, so she whispered: "Second brother, let's talk about it when I go home, it's all a family, there's nothing to talk about." ”
"Family?" Guo Wenyun jumped up, "None of you treat me as a family, all of you want to harm me, you can't call me dead, I can't get better and won't make you better, let alone make the Guo family better." ”
Seeing that he didn't speak like crazy, Guo Wenying was also angry in her heart, saying that she didn't treat him as a family member, how could he ever treat her as a family member?
At this time, some people came out and went in from time to time in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, afraid that he would make a fuss out of control, so Guo Wenying glanced at Pi Xiaosan in the back.
Pi Xiaosan had already seen that this kid was not pleasing to the eye, their head was like a golden dumpling, very fragrant, how could it be bullied casually?
He stepped up with an arrow and punched Guo Wenyun in the stomach, seeing that he bent down in pain, he hurriedly held on, and pretended: "Alas, brother, you can't drink and drink so much, look at the station can't stand steadily, come, brother will help you go home." ”
When he said this, others who didn't know really thought that there was a drunk here, and no one cared. Guo Wenyun was so painful that he couldn't speak, and he was almost dragged onto the carriage on the side of the road. Throwing him into the car, he followed him, and there was a ping-pong in it, and it seemed that the fight was not light.
