Annex.

Su Xiaomu recently has a new hobby, which is to go shopping on the street when he has nothing to do.

The most thing she has around now is money, and in the past two months, Fucheng has sent her a silver ticket every half a month.

Although the above amount is not very huge, it is still enough for Su Xiaomu to squander a little in the capital.

Financial freedom, which was not achieved before, has been achieved by living again.

Su Xiaomu bought himself a lot of new clothes and jewelry, and also made some novel knick-knacks.

She also likes to visit some shops in the Western Regions, and bought a lot of Persona from the Western Regions for Gu Jingcheng.

Although Gu Jingcheng is now busy with the imperial examination and has no time to read these idle books, Su Xiaomu adheres to the principle of helping each other as a family and helps him read them all.

In the evening, the two sat down to eat together, and Su Xiaomu also shared with him what she saw and heard on the street today, and shared the stories she saw in the book and the truths she learned.

But this time was a little different from the previous nights.

"There was a bully in the capital today, he was beaten somehow, and he was beaten very badly, his head was broken and he bled a lot, and his arm was broken, and he went to the hospital in a very twisted way to fold back."

Su Xiaomu looked at Gu Jingcheng's unfazed face, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and said slowly: "After being so seriously injured, that bully also reported to the official." ”

"Reporter?" Gu Jingcheng revived Xiaomu's words.

"That's right, I was beaten so badly, don't you have to report to the official?"

Su Xiaomu's eyes were sharp, and Gu Jingcheng saw the bruises on his wrists as soon as he entered the door.

She grabbed his arm, her eyes fixed on his palm-sized bruises and a few scrapes, and said, "That bully was beaten, what about you?" It is impossible for such an injury to fall on the road, so is it also a beating? ”

"I just can't see others hurting you, I want to use my own strength to protect you, that person is a bully, since he is used to countering violence with violence, then it doesn't hurt me to beat him."

Gu Jingcheng looked at Su Xiaomu's gaze as gentle as ever, he held her soft palm instead, and his tone was gentle and gentle: "As long as I am here, no one can hurt you." ”

"But don't be so impulsive next time, it's too dangerous, and I don't mean to belittle you, it's just that you think about the fact that you only did one thing in the first half of your life, and you must be inferior to that evil person in terms of strength, and use your own shortcomings to compare the strengths of others, don't you never do such stupid things?"

Su Xiaomu persuaded Gu Jingcheng bitterly, she was very moved by Gu Jingcheng's protection of her, but it was still not advisable to solve the problem with brute force.

What's more, now that Gu Jingcheng is at the threshold of the exam, she doesn't want Gu Jingcheng to have any extraneous branches.

"Okay, I'll promise you whatever you say."

Gu Jingcheng rubbed Su Xiaomu's palm, and the smile on the corner of his lips did not decrease: "I will definitely be tactful next time." ”

"I'll figure it out myself, you forget I'm not a dumb person."

Su Xiaomu had his own arrangements for the bully.

But right now, she hasn't prepared this bully yet, and before Gu Jingcheng's exam, Su Xiaomu wants to go back first.

She was worried about going home, and she lowered her eyes and thought for a while before she said to Gu Jingcheng: "Yesterday I received a letter from Fucheng, there was something wrong with the business over there, and I plan to go back to see the situation, so I have to say goodbye to you today." ”

Su Xiaomuyuan was also thinking about whether to say goodbye to Gu Jingcheng in person or leave him a letter when he left.

After all, the two of them have had a good relationship recently, and it is inevitable that they will be a little reluctant to separate.

"Will you come back, then?" Gu Jingcheng's hand tightened, his body first stiffened, and then looked at Su Xiaomu pitifully, "You promised me to accompany me for the exam." ”

"Of course I'll come back, I won't forget what I agreed with you, I'm just out for too long and want to go back and take a look, and by the way, arrange some new things for them, don't worry."

Su Xiaomu solemnly promised Gu Jingcheng.

After the two of them finished eating, Gu Jingcheng went to the study to read.

Su Xiaomu was busy packing up his things in the bedroom because he was going back the next day.

Outside the window, there was the sound of wind, birds, swaying leaves, and the sound of people trampling dead branches and fallen leaves that Su Xiaomu didn't hear.

Zhou Lin went through the window into Gu Jingcheng's study, he also bought an annex not far from this courtyard, and the two of them were still neighbors in this "wilderness".

Stepping on the moon, Zhou Lin wiped the dew off his head with a little irritability, he went into the house and found a place farthest away from Gu Jingcheng to sit down, and said with Gu Jingcheng with a bitter face.

"Your daughter-in-law will go back if she wants to go back, she will take the official road all the way, she can't do anything, but me, I haven't slept well every day in the past few days, and I'm worried that if I stay up any longer, I won't be able to see the sun tomorrow!"

The capital is rich and charming, Zhou Lin has been playing around with his newly met friends these days, and it can be said that he has seen a lot of the world.

No wonder everyone wants to come to the capital, and people who do business want to open their shops in the capital and receive customers from all over the world.

Those who study want to enter the Hanlin Academy, and the official worship scholar is soaring.

The capital is so tolerant, Zhou Lin has a lot of fun, and now he is a little reluctant to go back.

He spoke to Gu Jingcheng with a wave on his face, Gu Jingcheng naturally noticed the change in Zhou Lin's mood, if he still felt a little guilty about Zhou Lin at the beginning of this matter, then now, Gu Jingcheng felt that his arrangement was very right.

"Knowing that you stay up too late, go to bed early, besides, even if it is an official road, it is still dangerous for a woman to walk for a few days, so you have nothing to do now, it is better to help me send her back, your father wrote to me a few days ago, asking you how you are doing in Beijing, and now you just have a new consideration for your future, so I can't help you deceive you like before."

Zhou Lin was in the capital, and his father was not at ease after all.

But if he wrote a letter to Zhou Lin's son in person, Zhou Lin was unwilling to reply.

What Gu Jingcheng did between their father and son was this hub, passing on what their father and son had to say to each other, and he also helped Zhou Lin, a good brother, hide a lot of things from his father.

"I know you deal with the old man's annoyance, okay, okay, who made her your daughter-in-law and my sister-in-law, send her back and go back, just explain my affairs to my old man, and ......"

Zhou Lin came to Gu Jingcheng to make a little mistake, and he said to Gu Jingcheng with bad intentions: "I know that you are also worried that Su Niangzi will not come back if she goes, and you want me to help you supervise her, rest assured brother, I estimate that the time is almost up, and I will follow Su Niangzi to accompany you to the exam." ”
