"He's a good citizen?" One of the beggars scoffed and said: "Some time ago, he was Gu Siming, the leader of the autumn test, I thought he would be an official in style, who would have thought that he would cheat in the field and be demoted to a beggar by the chief examiner King Pingnan, and he will not be allowed to enter the office for the rest of his life, you shouldn't have even heard of this, right?" ”

Hong Ying was stunned, she was busy taking care of Chu Luo during this time, and she didn't even care about the imperial examination, but she didn't expect her cousin Gu Siming to be caught by someone and expelled from the officialdom. Knowing that the person was Gu Siming, Hong Ying would not stand idly by, she looked at the ragged beggar fearlessly and said: "You have to spare people and spare people, I hope you will see my face and let him go." ”

The beggar leader saw that she was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and asked her cautiously, "I don't know where the girl's house is?" ”

"I am the desperate beauty Chu Hongying, and my father is the prime minister of the dynasty!" Hong Ying felt that her father's official position was very imposing when she moved out, and sure enough, when the beggars heard this, they all looked at each other, and finally the beggars looked at the beggar head and asked him, "What should we do?" ”

The beggar leader was only slightly alarmed, then calmed down, and said softly: "It is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so that others will not be able to find our heads." ”

Gu Siming naturally heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said to Hong Ying: "You go quickly, they want to kill people." He would rather be a beggar than ask Hong Ying for help, just because he didn't want to burden her and didn't want her to look down on her, but now, he actually stood in front of her with such a humiliating appearance and let her come to the rescue, even if he survived, he would not have half a face at all, it was better to fight with this group of beggars and save her life.

The beggars, hearing his informant, smashed their fists on him more intensively, punching harder than punch.

Hong Ying looked distressed, and she shouted: "Stop, stop quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." "The tiger is not powerful, is it when she is critically ill, although her fist and foot skills are not as good as Sima Ting and others, but she is also Lin Qing's personal disciple, and it is more than enough to deal with some little hooligans.

The beggars didn't listen to her, this action annoyed Hongying, who put the pastry on the ground, rolled up her sleeves very indecently, pulled one of the beggars aside, and smashed her fist on the artery in his neck, and the beggar rolled his eyes and fainted.

The blow succeeded, Hong Ying became more confident, she easily avoided the beggar's violent thin fist, lifted her foot and gently hooked another beggar, knocked him to the ground, pointed at his temple, knocked him unconscious, and then shook the fist that was slightly numb by the anti-shock force, pouted cutely, and said: "It turns out that fighting is such a fun thing, no wonder Yue'er likes it, it's just that her hand hurts~"

Gu Siming seemed to be stimulated by her, and suddenly knocked out the two beggars from behind, picked up a stone at his feet, smashed it into the pile of beggars, and ran to a crowded place with Hongying.

Hong Ying asked him worriedly as she ran, "Are you okay?" Looking at the bruises and bruises on his face, she felt a little distressed, her cousin had never suffered like this since he was a child?

Gu Siming didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he said: "I'm fine, I'm a dignified seven-foot man, this little injury is nothing." ”

Hong Ying looked at his red and swollen side face: "......" She didn't quite understand why Chu Luo, Sima Ting, and Gu Siming all liked to use seven-foot men to live on their own, but they were all less than seven feet tall.

Finally avoiding the group of beggars, Hong Ying stopped Gu Siming, who was panting, and asked, "Cousin, what happened to you to become like this?" ”

Gu Siming looked up to the sky and sighed, and said, "It's hard to say!" ”

"It's hard to say, then to make a long story short, with your talent, there is no reason to cheat in the field at all." Hong Ying still admires Gu Siming's knowledge, so she won't believe the official nonsense.

"Officialdom is dark, and you don't know it." At the beginning, Sima Yue kindly mentioned him, but he was conceited and knowledgeable, and did not take the Lin family and King Pingnan in his eyes, but now, he was indeed murdered by King Pingnan.

Gu Siming briefly informed Hongying.

It turned out that on that day, Gu Siming could not disobey the warm invitation of the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Building, so he lived in Qingfeng Building, and the next day, a maid found him and said with a smile: "Childe is the Gu Gongzi of Wen Dou Lin Qiwen yesterday?" ”

Although Gu Siming had doubts in his heart, he still replied politely: "I am, I don't know what the girl has to do?" ”

"My young lady is invited." The maid was very aura, just squinted and smiled, which made his heart flutter and could not control himself, and it didn't take long for the maid to lead him to a beautifully decorated boudoir, in which was sitting a woman in white, with eyes like lotus, elegant and good, but the bottom of her eyes was a little alienated and indifferent, covered with a white veil, so that people could not really see her face.

Gu Siming politely saluted her and said, "I don't know what Miss is looking for Xiaosheng, what is it for?" ”

The woman didn't speak, just quietly watched the rain beating the plantains outside the window, as quiet as a virgin. The maid didn't seem to be able to stand such a silent atmosphere, and said to her, "Miss, Gu Gongzi has brought it." ”

"Oh, sit down." Words and deeds, all have the temperament of everyone's ladies, and their words are neither humble nor arrogant, but they bring an innate coldness and dignity.

Gu Siming was quite curious, so he sat down as he said, and the woman asked the maid to serve tea, and suddenly said directly: "Unknown son, has he ever been married?" ”

"Xiaosheng hasn't married a wife yet." Gu Siming clearly remembered that he had promised Hong Ying that he would marry her and treat her well, and he couldn't break his word.

"That's good, the little girl wants you to enter the palace, I don't know if you are willing?" The courage and boldness of the woman in white suddenly surprised Gu Siming, he sat up straight and refused, "No." ”

"Why?" Jin Bingbing's clear eyes were dyed with a layer of gloomy, and this trace of fire made her look a little bit like the smell of fireworks in the world.

"Because... Because Xiaosheng already has a marriage contract, he can't break the contract. Gu Siming found a reason to send the woman away. Who knew that the woman didn't eat his set, but revealed her light smile from her eyes, I don't know whether it was ridicule or confidence: "This is simple, you don't recognize it, not to mention that if the son enters my mother's family, the title of the gold list, and the official is in a high position, it's just a matter of my father nodding." ”

"Xiao Sheng thought that the girl was super vulgar, but I didn't expect that she was also a mortal." She is better than Hongying, she really can't compare, she is indulged in the beauty of the city and the country, but she is actually vulgar and dirty in her bones.

The corners of Jin Bingbing's mouth shallowly hooked up the pear vortex, hidden in the depths of the white veil, a little mysterious and a little bright: "I think there is no dispute in this world, but the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, under the whole world, where there are people, they don't want a clean place, since the son is clean and self-conscious, why do you need to go to the troubled waters of the imperial examination?" ”

"I only believe that good will be rewarded." Gu Siming took a firm position, but he was unwilling to marry her and enter the palace.

Jin Bingbing didn't have to be him, she just came up with such a trick in order to deal with her father's forced marriage, she thought that Gu Siming was only eight buckets high, and she offended the Lin family, she knew that she could easily obey him with emotion and reason, but she didn't expect him to be even more difficult to tame than the stinky and hard stone in the pit.

In that case, why should she cover him and care for him?

This negotiation broke up unhappily, and when Gu Siming was leaving, Jin Bingbing threatened him: "If you step out of this threshold, it will ruin your life." ”

Gu Siming was young and vigorous at that time, and he didn't understand the world, so he didn't take the woman's words to heart, who knew that as soon as he arrived in the room, his entanglement was gone, and the shopkeeper was more like a different person, knocking him out of Qingfeng Building.

He was desperate, so he wrote for others to earn some money, who knew that Lin Qiwen frequently sent people to harass his business, so that he was not "full" at night, fortunately there were these beggars who thought he was a strange goods, so they quietly helped him, and finally survived the autumn exam, he answered the test papers, and he was still at the top of the list three days later, and was taken in by a small hotel.

The culprit, Jin Bingbing, asked him for the last time: "Do you want to be prosperous and rich, or do you want to be poor and old." ”

Gu Siming didn't answer, because in his heart, he had already hidden a person, so even if he was poor to death, he would not be far from her. It was precisely because he completely offended Jin Bingbing that he was sentenced to begging, and he had the opportunity to be bullied by the group of beggars who thought he was a strange commodity.

Hong Ying sighed when she heard this, she looked at Gu Siming sympathetically, and said, "I didn't expect that these days, cousin, you have suffered so much, and Hong Ying will definitely seek justice for you!" ”

Gu Siming felt very shameless when Hongying knew about his troubles, so he simply talked about his experience, and did not elaborate on the pain of life and death in those days, but just like that, it also made him feel that he was not capable of protecting her and taking care of her, he was not worthy of being her cousin, and he couldn't give him the sense of security he wanted to give her.

Hongying took him to wash up, bought a shirt for him, and looked at the Xiaoxiao young man with a red and swollen face, she planned for him: "Since my cousin has nowhere to go now, go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with me!" She thought that Sima Yue would be very happy.

Gu Siming hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, no, I will find a way to avenge my grievances." ”

"Cousin, we are a family, the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, and it is a shortcut to avenge you, not to mention that in the Prime Minister's Mansion, King Pingnan doesn't dare to do anything to you." What Hong Ying said was very reasonable, and Gu Siming also knew that this was a shortcut, but he really couldn't pull his face and relied on Hong Ying to get on top.

Hong Ying didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that he was embarrassed, so she said again: "What's more, if my cousin is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I can also have someone to rely on." "With her cousin here, she doesn't believe that she can't cure Chu Luo.

Gu Siming saw that what she said was true, and was slightly moved, but a manly husband couldn't eat food in front of a beautiful woman he admired, so he still refused: "Your kind cousin understands it, cousin thanks you for saving my life, let's say goodbye." ”

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Hong Ying stomped his feet angrily and shouted, "Gu Siming, you stop for me." As soon as these words came out, Gu Siming subconsciously paused.

Hong Ying hurriedly caught up and said, "With your own strength, how can you compete with King Pingnan?" You have no power or power, how can you protect me? You are my only blood relative in this world, and if you are like this, who can I count on? ”

Gu Siming was very ashamed of what she said, he didn't dare to look at her gloomy eyes, but what Hong Ying said was also the truth, if there was no Prime Minister's Mansion, he would have to bear the responsibility of fraud in the field and bear it for the rest of his life. In this case, what kind of face and qualifications does he have to take care of her?

Thinking so, Gu Siming agreed to Hongying and took refuge in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
