"I don't cross the Buddha." Gu Liuye shook his small fan and said faintly.

The abacus in his hand crackled. This year's harvest has doubled compared with last year, and when the winter wheat is ripe in the spring of next year, I will send some to those families in Wangjing City, and when I go back next year, I can earn a wave of favors.

If the Han family's technology is greatly improved, he doesn't have to wait until next year, maybe he will be able to go back before winter.

After settling the account, he looked up at the desk, where Yun Xiu was holding a pen and tracing the wrong words.

Gu Liu picked up the ring ruler and hit her hand, mercilessly, Yun Xiu gasped in pain.

Fried shredded pork on a bamboo board, her father had never beaten her like this when he was alive, and glared at Gu Liu resentfully, didn't he remember what he said not to let him depict black, why did he start beating people if he didn't agree with him.

"It's useless to stare at me, my master explained it to you clearly before I started writing, and it was useless to write a stroke, and no matter how much I said, I didn't remember this board."

"Then did your husband beat people like this when you were studying?" Yun Xiu muttered, if the gentleman in the school was like him, who would spend money to find a board to suffer, and he would have dropped out of school a long time ago.

The voice was very small, but Gu Liu heard it clearly, nodded and said: "That's for sure, Master Yan is a high apprentice, when the master is studying, Mr. will go down the board, his hands will be swollen, and he will have to complete his schoolwork when he is swollen." ”

The little Song master of Gaoyang Academy, who was a person who got up early every day to beat the student board, the strength of the board, Gu Liu still wants to grin and cry out in pain in retrospect.

Seeing that Yun Xiu's hands were unhindered, he continued: "It is such a strict teaching method that can achieve the sixth place in the first class of Jinshi among the students in the world. The master beat you on the board, all for your own good. ”

"Master, are you a Jinshi?!" Yun Xiu was full of surprise.

Although she didn't know what Jiayi Sixth meant, she understood Jinshi!

There was a jinshi in their town, and I heard that it was more than a hundred years ago, and the jinshi was the official master, even if he saw the county master, he didn't have to kneel.

Yun Xiu was in a state for a long time, and asked cautiously: "Master, did your Jinshi be bought for you by your brother-in-law who was a big official?" ”

Gu Liu said that his brother-in-law was a big official in Wangjing, and he heard that those officials could manipulate people's life and death, and at the level of the sixth master, he might have gone through the back door.

The sixth master wanted to beat people angrily, he had worked hard all his life in the scientific expedition, this little girl actually questioned the results of her hard work, could it be that he was too kind on weekdays, so she kicked her nose in the face with connivance?

"The fraud in the imperial examination is to sit together, and the main culprit has to be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market to cut off his head, do you think the level of the master is enough to take such a risk to get a fake result?"

As soon as Yun Xiu turned her head, she saw Gu Liu staring at her sideways, hurriedly shrunk her neck, put down her pen, and came over with a dog's leg.

Haha said: "No, no, you misunderstood, I was in a trance just now, I don't remember what I said, you are such a good writer, I will learn to read and write with you in the future." ”

Gu Liu snorted coldly, turned his head away, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Since the last time Yun Xiu questioned his results in the imperial examination, Gu Liu's small bamboo board has been played more diligently, and he has to knock it if he holds the pen in the wrong posture, knocks it if the pen moves wrongly, and he has to be knocked if he is unstable in holding the pen.

Within two days, Yun Xiu's right hand became fat, and he raised his swollen little fat hand to show him in front of Gu Liu's face.

Gu Liu's bite of an ice grape was refreshing, and in the morning, he asked people to send the fresh grapes to the palace quickly, and when he was studying, he loved this kind of Xuanhua grape with thin skin and thick flesh.

Looking at the wind and sand in the capital, the grapes planted are stuffy, and the rain and rain are clear here in Runan, and in the first year of coming here, he set aside a piece of land to send grapes to the palace.

put a bunch of grapes in her hand, and said kindly: "It's cool, reduce swelling." ”

Yun Xiu said angrily: "Master, if you knock my hands like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to work in the field." ”

Gu Liu's mouth pouted, and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, the heavy work in the field is all done by paying people to do it, you didn't hide from the sun in the shed with the master that time." ”

Since this little girl began to learn to write with him, Aunt Li even did the work of feeding the pigs for her. The adults of the family expect the children to study hard, as long as they are for learning, they are always tolerant, Yunxiu is not much older than Xiaofuzi, and Aunt Li treats her like her own children.

There is no work in the field these days, except for when she harvests grapes, she follows to go around the field, and she has one thing left to write, so she doesn't have to worry about it, and the words written out are like dogs [harmony] crawling, and the small bamboo board knocks on her lightly.

Thinking of the few words written by Xiaofuzi that day, neat and vigorous, Gu Liu praised him for his muscles and bones, Yun Xiu lowered his eyebrows, and honestly entered the house to continue writing.

She and Xiaofuzi began to learn to hold a pen together, and after a few months, Xiaofuzi won the first place in the school when she studied, and her handwriting was more neat than her, and Xiaofuzi was younger than her.

She had always been envious of others who could read and write, but now that she has such good opportunities and conditions, she can't even compare to a yellow-haired child, and she doesn't blame Gu Liuqi for beating her, she deserves it!

If you are self-motivated, your progress will naturally be much more obvious.

Gu Liu looked at her handwriting, which was becoming more and more regular day by day, and nodded in approval: "The son can be taught, if you had worked so hard earlier, it would have saved the effort of the master to beat you." ”

After receiving the compliment, Yun Xiu was overjoyed, and dared to sit down and ask Gu Liuye some questions.

"Master, Uncle Liu came here and sent me a message."

"Hmm." Gu Liu snorted lightly and waited for her to continue.

"Zhang Erniu, who is striking iron in the east of the village, asked Liu Sanbo to propose marriage to my eldest sister. Zhang Erniu, you've seen it, the last time we planted wheat, he was shirtless and full of tendon meat, and he was the one who was tanned. ”

Gu Liu's brows furrowed, this girl has been talking about being a child for three days, how can she look at other people's tendons and flesh when she is born?

"You have a pair of big eyes every day, where do you look?"

Realizing that she said something that should not have been said by the girl's family, Yun Xiu's little face turned crimson. After holding it for a while, seeing that Gu Liu didn't tease her anymore, he continued: "I think Zhang Erniu is quite honest, and he doesn't have any gossip in the village. ”

Since Yun Dani couldn't walk on her legs, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, unwilling to go out and unwilling to communicate with people.

Yun Xiu said in her heart, if this Zhang Erniu ties the knot with the eldest sister, the two of them have hope for their lives, and they are happy in their hearts, it would be good if they were human beings.

"What does it have to do with what kind of person you think he is? You don't think it's important, you have to think it's good for your eldest sister. ”

Yun Xiu nodded, this is true, the matter of asking for a kiss, the eldest sister has to look at the right eye, which is the right reason.

"Liu Sanbo said that he hadn't told his eldest sister yet, Zhang Erniu told him to come and discuss with me first, my father and mother are gone, if the sisters in the family agree, this family matter will be pushed down the river."

"Slow" Gu Liu interrupted her: "That's not right, since Zhang Erniu has taken a fancy to your eldest sister, he should have quietly asked your eldest sister in private first, if both of them are interesting and willing to live together in the future, then they will use it to go to your sisters and say, how can you say that he is interested in your eldest sister first, but your eldest sister herself doesn't know the truth?" ”

After he mentioned this, Yun Xiu also muttered in his heart.

The people in the village have a good reputation (four sounds), and before he has even skimmed the two bulls, he shouts that everyone knows that he likes the eldest girl of the Yun family, and there are fewer gossips and gossip that have been heard in the past few years?

People are terrible, their reputation in the countryside is more valuable than life, isn't this the eldest sister who drove ducks to the shelves to marry him?

Gu Liu has seen a lot of this kind of thing, and the official eunuchs in the capital all say that the people in the village are simple and simple, but they may not all be stupid, and there are people with lively eyes everywhere.

Xu is the house on the mountainside of Yunxiu's family, or the land deed in the town that the Huang family sent back to the court, or just look at the three girls of the Yun family climbing the high branches, and want to come to the door.

Gu Liu couldn't tell her this, the little girl was stupid but small, and she could hide something in her heart and think about it for four or five days, but she was still a mess.

This kind of thing can't be understood by herself, Gu Liu can only knock on the side of the guide and let her think about it by herself.

"What does your eldest sister think? It's useless for you to think about this here, the key depends on your eldest sister's opinion, and you have to go home, sit there and have a good chat with your eldest sister, how to choose her own ideas. ”

Yun Xiu has been busy all day, but Zhang Erniu's matter still has no result.

Yun Dani felt that her leg was broken, and she had lived like this for the rest of her life, regardless of what she thought in her heart. If marrying Zhang Erniu can not cause trouble to her sisters, she is willing to marry.

After nodding in agreement, Yun Xiu didn't see a trace of yearning in her eyes.

There was no way, this matter had to be put aside first, and Liu Sanbo was also told not to say it, let them think about it before making a decision.

In autumn, the night is not so sultry, after eating, Yunxiu moved a chair, sat in the courtyard with her head tilted and looked at the stars, and the fan in her hand fell without noticing.

Gu Liu knew that he was still thinking about her eldest sister's marriage, and he also dragged the recliner and sat down beside her.

"See the brightest one? It was the North Star, and when the fishermen along the coast went out to sea, they all relied on it to guide the way. ”

Following the direction of Gu Liu's finger, Yun Xiu also found the North Star Star, which was the largest and most dazzling under a faint starlight. "It's so bright."

"That is, the North Star is bright and outstanding, so that people can see it at a glance." Gu Liu's words changed sharply, and then he said: "What did Zhang Erniu like about your eldest sister?" ”

Yun Xiu thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything that the eldest sister could make Zhang Erniu like. Although they are all people who live in the same village, they only go to the east entrance of the village to the town, and it is impossible for the eldest sister to meet after she goes to work in the town.

Later, the eldest sister broke her leg and never went out, and the only time the two intersected was when they planted wheat, and the eldest sister helped pour water on the ground. It should also be the first time the two have met.

Thinking of this, Yun Xiu also understood.

Turning his head and looking at Gu Liu, who was looking up at the stars with his neck up, and didn't forget to pet the cat in his hand, this person was really smart, he didn't seem to say anything, but he explained everything clearly step by step.

Sensing that the little girl was staring at herself, Gu Liu knew that she had only figured it out at this moment.

He asked faintly, "What do you feel in your heart?" ”

Yun Xiu replied: "Confused. ”

There are many things that are not what you want to do, and there will be such a choice.

is like her second mother, she likes that crooked neck, but the crooked neck is dead; After marrying his father, he was insulted again for the sake of his son; Pregnant with a child she hated to the extreme, but she didn't dare to beat it.

Even if you move cautiously, there will be a large number of irrelevant people who will stand up and point fingers.

In the eyes of the world, her eldest sister broke her leg, and if someone is willing to come to the door to propose, they should be grateful to Dade, but no one will think about whether they are willing to ask for this kindness.

"In fact, not all women have to live as people want to be." Gu Liu looked at her and said, his eyes were full of stars.
