Thinking that the crown princess actually had other plans for giving her a gift, Gu Jinyu felt a little disappointed.

"Miss, the crown princess invites you to enroll, will you go?" The little maid on the side asked.

"I don't know."

Women shouldn't show their heads, but this is another opportunity to make a name for themselves, stay in the house, her fame is limited, she is eager for more people to see her talents, there is no more ideal place than the academy.

But she was worried that Mrs. Gu and her mother would not agree.

Mrs. Gu's thinking is relatively old-fashioned, and her father lobbied her for a long time when she invited Mr. Xixi.

If she learns that she is going to study outside—

Gu Jinyu frowned.

was distressed, and the next person reported that the Hou Ye had returned home.

Gu Jinyu hurriedly went to the door to greet him.

Gu Houye has been busy in the Ministry of Industry for several days, and the whole person has taken off a layer of skin.

He stepped out of the carriage haggardly, and when he entered the house, he saw his daughter walking towards him with a smile on her face.

"Daddy!" Gu Jinyu called sweetly.

Gu Hou Ye felt that the exhaustion of his whole body had dissipated in this father, he smiled, and glanced at his daughter who came to his side dotingly: "It's so cold, what are you doing when you come out?" ”

"I'll wait for Daddy!" Gu Jinyu said with a smile.

Gu Houye was satisfied: "You are the most intimate!" By the way, how is your mother? Is she in the house? ”

"Yes, my mother just rested." Gu Jinyu said.

Gu Houye frowned: "I rested so early, is there something uncomfortable?" ”

As soon as the words 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 Gu Houye: "The crown princess has run a girls' school and wants me to go to school." ”

Gu Houye opened it and looked at it: "What did your mother say?" ”

Gu Jinyu said softly: "Mother is resting, I haven't had time to tell her, what does Daddy think?" ”

Gu Houye said: "If your mother thinks it's okay, then you can go." ”

Gu Jinyu hesitated: "Grandmother's side ......"

"I'll just say it." Gu Houye didn't think there was anything difficult about this, thinking of something, Gu Houye asked, "Did you only give a post?" Can you say how to get in? ”

Gu Jinyu said: "Just a post, the person who sent the post, the noble girl who is known as a talented woman in Beijing is admitted without examination, if there are still people who want to enroll, they can pass the exam." ”

"Still have exams?" Gu Houye frowned deeply, that girl can only farm, and she can't read a single big word, how can she pass the exam?

"Is there a way to get another spot?" He asked.

Gu Jinyu asked innocently, "Does Daddy want my sister to also enroll in school?" I asked, if I could, please ask the crown princess to give my sister a place too, if there is not much, I am willing to teach my sister to read and write. ”

"I'm afraid that if you are willing, she still doesn't appreciate it. Forget it, you can collect the quota yourself. Gu Houye returned the post to Gu Jinyu, and when he saw that she wanted to stop talking, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Jinyu said in a low voice: "My father hasn't come back for a few days, so I probably don't know that something happened in the house." ”

Gu Houye asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes, pinched her handkerchief and said, "Third brother...... and the second brother were imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the eldest brother. ”

Gu Houye gasped: "What did they do?" No, your second brother is no longer guilty, isn't it your third brother? What did he do again? ”

Gu Jinyu's face was embarrassed: "It seems to be ...... It was the third brother and his sister who had a little unhappiness and were beaten by their sister, and the third brother was seriously injured. ”

"How can that girl beat anyone?" Gu Houye had a toothache, rolled up his sleeves, and said coldly, "That girl has returned home?" ”

"Sister......

"The eldest lady hasn't returned home yet."

Gu Jinyu was only halfway through her words when she was interrupted by Mama Fang, who appeared nearby at some point.

Mama Fang saluted the two of them, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The third son bullied the little boy and caused the little boy to have a heart attack, and the eldest lady was angry, so she gave the third son a lesson. The third son suffered skin injuries, which is not worth mentioning compared to the little son. ”

It's really a skin injury, the kind that can't get out of bed for a month.

Gu Yan was already jumping around, Gu Chenglin's torment had just begun, he was in pain every night, and taking medicine didn't work.

Mama Fang sighed: "The third son has always been pampered, and he also cries for his father and mother when he has skin injuries, but the poor little boy doesn't cry or make trouble when he has a heart attack, how disheartened he is, but some people think he is fine." ”

Gu Jinyu's face was hot.

Mama Fang's words not only satirized Gu Jinyu, but also buttoned a hat for Gu Chenglin, even if Gu Houye saw Gu Chenglin crying for a while, he would only think that he was squeamish.

Gu Houye frowned and said, "Have Yan'er and Chenglin met?" ”

Mama Fang sneered: "It's also a coincidence, the three sons actually entered the same academy, on the first day of school, the third son recognized the little son, the little boy didn't know him, he was abducted and tied up in the firewood room and locked up for a whole day, and then he had a heart attack, and he only picked up a life after nine deaths." ”

Gu Houye was furious: "Rebel! Let him kneel in the ancestral hall for me! ”

Coldly said, Gu Hou Ye didn't look at Gu Chenglin's injury, and got into the carriage and went to Bishui Hutong to see Gu Yan.

Only Mama Fang and Gu Jinyu were left on the lawn.

Gu Jinyu opened her mouth.

Mama Fang bent her knees: "Second Miss, it's not too early, you should go back to rest, and the slave and maid will also go back to serve Madame." ”

"Mama!" Gu Jinyu stopped her, "I'm ...... That's what Fang was going to say. ”

Mama Fang nodded: "The slave maid understands that although the second miss is not born to the Hou Mansion, but in the end, it was the lady who pulled the and urine, how could the second miss not help the lady and help others?" Isn't that too wolf-hearted? ”

Gu Jinyu's face turned pale.

Mama Fang smiled faintly: "The slave is a subordinate and can't speak, please take care of the second lady." ”

Gu Jinyu didn't know what to say, she felt that she was being scolded, but Mama Fang didn't say a word at her.

Mama Fang is Yao's confidant in the end, so Gu Yan can be angry with her, and Gu Jinyu, as a good girl, can't.

"Mama's words are serious." Gu Jinyu said, "Mama go take care of my mother." ”

Mama Fang said earnestly: "Second Miss may wish to remember Madame's words, don't associate with the three sons of the first lady, they will not accept Second Miss, and they will not become the second Miss's reliance in the future." With all due respect, the only people who can really be relied on by the second lady are the lady and the eldest lady. ”

Gu Jinyu smiled slightly: "I remember, Mama." ”

A girl who grew up in the countryside can only dig in the field, why did she become her backer?

Do you understand Yuan's lame relationship with that high school?

Mama is indeed old.

--

Gu Hou Ye went to see Gu Yan, Gu Yan was no longer in trouble, but he still pretended to be about to die.

Gu Hou Ye was angry, and when he returned to the mansion, no matter how Old Madam Gu came to look for him, he resolutely refused to go to Gu Changqing to release Gu Chenglin!

Mrs. Gu asked people to give Gu Chenglin charcoal.

"What charcoal to send? Freeze him to death! ”

Gu Chenglin's charcoal was confiscated by his father in this way.

Regarding the matter of female study, Xiao Liulang also heard a little rumor in Guozijian.

This matter is actually slightly different from what is rumored in the circle, it is not advocated by the crown princess, as early as more than ten years ago, the Empress Dowager Zhuang proposed to open a women's school, but it was unanimously opposed by His Majesty and cabinet ministers.

This is the end of the matter.

Now that the old thing is brought up again, it is most likely His Majesty's idea.

Mrs. Zhuang led hundreds of officials to plead for the reopening of the country, and his prestige in the eyes of the court and the people increased sharply, and His Majesty wanted to accumulate prestige for the royal family, so he opened a women's school in the name of the crown princess.

Since it was run by the imperial court, the quality of women's studies must not be too bad.

At dinner, Xiao Liulang talked about the female school at the dinner table.

Xiao Jingkong wowed: "Female student? Isn't that Jiaojiao also able to go up? ”

The old lady vaguely felt that the word "female study" sounded strange, she recalled it seriously, but she couldn't think of anything, but this did not prevent her from supporting Gu Jiao to study: "You can go." ”

Gu Jiao: ...... Didn't want to go.

Someone who has experienced a series of cruel exams such as the college entrance examination in his previous life said that he never wants to turn the book again in his life.

The family didn't force her, after all, the taste of being forced to go to school was too sad.

Xiao Liulang, Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan, and Xiao Jingkong all have a deep understanding!

After eating, Xiao Jingkong suddenly looked at Gu Jiao cutely: "Jiaojiao, I want to eat sugar gourd!" ”

Gu Jiao slapped his little tiger head hat: "Okay, I'll buy it for you." ”

This is the advantage of living on the street, you can buy whatever you want to eat at any time, and you don't have that when you are in the country.

"I'll go." Xiao Liulang said.

"It's not very far." Gu Jiao said.

The old lady waved her hand: "Okay, you two go together!" Grinding and chirping! ”

The two went to Chang'an Avenue together.

When I went out, the sky was not snowing, and halfway through, the snowflakes fell one after another.

Gu Jiao looked at the flying snow above her head and said with emotion: "The snow in the capital came so early. ”

Xiao Liulang said: "This year is not too early, sometimes it will be at the end of October." ”

"Oh." Gu Jiao asked, "Have you lived in the capital for a long time before?" ”

The two rarely asked each other about their secrets, and it was the first time that such a topic could be brought up so calmly.

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang snorted.

Gu Jiao didn't ask again, some topics were brought up unexpectedly, but they shouldn't go deeper.

She looked at the endless flow of streets: "The capital is so good. ”

Xiao Liulang looked at her: "Do you like the capital?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Jiao said, "The capital is lively. ”

She doesn't really like to be lively, but being in a lively environment will make her feel more clearly that she is still alive.

The snow was heavy, but the wind stopped, and the snowflakes fell quietly.

I remember that once in the town, on such a snowy night, they came out to buy osmanthus cakes and sat in front of the stall to eat two bowls of steaming rice balls.

It was a hard time.

She was reluctant to even buy herself a poached egg, so she only asked her boss to give him one.

Although the truth is that Gu Jiao doesn't like to eat poached eggs, Xiao Liulang doesn't know it, so he has been moved until now.

"Oops—how do you walk?"

Gu Jiao bumped into someone, and she was a young man in a hurry.

The young man was hit and almost fell, and fiercely slammed Gu Jiao twice: "Be careful!" ”

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

It was indeed she who hit someone.

She's not unreasonable, either.

She's occasionally very well-behaved.

She apologized.

The lad didn't say anything more, and walked away with a grunt.

Chang'an Avenue is full of people, and if you are not careful, you will bump into it.

Xiao Liulang glanced at her, and stopped talking.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was a hint of cold wind.

"Huh? Why don't you sell sugar gourds? I remember being around here during the day. Gu Jiao's little hand stiffened, she picked it up and put it to her lips and sighed.

Xiao Liulang looked at her hand, and his fingertips moved.

But in the end, he didn't reach out.

Gu Jiao sighed a few more times, and it was too cold.

Xiao Liulang finally mustered up the courage and raised his hand to hold her hand.

"Ahh Gu Jiaoyao pointed with her hand.

Xiao Liulang's hand fluttered into the air, Gu Jiao finished pointing, looked back at him, he switched seamlessly, quietly raised his empty hand, and touched his handsome head.

Gu Jiao walked over and asked for five strings of sugar gourds: "By the way, little brother, do your sugar gourds have less sugar?" ”

The peddler smiled: "Coincidentally, girl, there really is!" My little nephew is only one year old, and he loves to eat this, but his teeth are not good after eating too much, so I made a few that looked red and didn't actually put much sugar! ”

"So, can you give me two?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Okay!" The vendor took two strings of unsweet sugar gourds to Gu Jiao, "A total of seventy wen, and I'll give you a small one." ”

"Thank you." Gu Jiao took the sugar gourd and grabbed them all in one hand, so big that she almost couldn't catch it.

Xiao Liulang saw that she was struggling to grasp it, and said to her, "I'll come." ”

Gu Jiao shook her head: "No need!" I'll take it! ”

With that, he turned and walked back.

Xiao Liulang followed with a cane.

As he walked, suddenly a small soft hand reached over and took his hand.

Xiao Liulang was stunned.

Gu Jiao tilted her little head, blinked her eyes and said, "If you take the sugar gourd, you won't be able to hold my hand, don't you want to hold it just now?" ”

Xiao Liulang's face turned red, and he suddenly felt that his heart was full.
