Chapter 5 You Are My Mentor
"Harvest wheat and grow grain, pea bud grain. The cuckoo bird hidden in the bamboo forest chirped one after another, and it was midsummer in June of another year.
It has been two years since the last time the Immortal Sect accepted disciples, and Gu Cheng will be seven years old in two months.
In the past two years or so, a lot has happened in the Dongping Marquis Mansion.
Speaking of the three rooms of the Hou Mansion alone, a few days after Taixuanzong accepted the apprentices, her cheap father Gu Qiling continued to marry the step-family of Sun Ge Lao's granddaughter.
Last year, his stepmother Sun gave birth to a big fat boy, and soon after, Gu Qiling was promoted to become a waiter in the Ministry of Works. The three rooms of the Hou Mansion can be described as smooth sailing, and good things come in pairs.
However, these good things have nothing to do with Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng only knows that since her cheap father remarried Sun, the subordinates of Xiuzhu Courtyard have become more and more disobedient, the weeds in the yard have grown longer and longer, and the meals sent from the kitchen have become more and more perfunctory.
Gu Cheng's sister-in-law, Gu Qing, is protected by her biological mother, Aunt Yang, and the love of the old lady. Her cousin Gu Jiang was sent to her stepmother Sun to raise herself.
Her stepmother is a shrewd person, and the three rooms of the Hou Mansion are well managed, of course, Gu Cheng's bamboo cultivation courtyard is not among them.
"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time. This sentence is really a warning to the world, after the death of the Shen family, the only loyal subordinate by Gu Cheng's side is Yunxiu.
As for Shen's nurse, Mama Wang, now she also goes to help her stepmother Sun take care of the industry, and rarely comes back to repair the bamboo courtyard.
said that it was to take care of his stepmother Sun's industry, or to take care of Gu Cheng's mother Shen's dowry.
It's just that I don't know how much is left of that rich dowry after years of "taking care".
Shen borrowed Mama Wang from Gu Cheng, and told her that he was afraid that Gu Cheng's subordinates would not be enough, so he pulled out a little maid for her, and Gu Cheng named her Yanshui.
Gu Cheng is not a fool, why don't you know that the Sun family has put her eyes and ears here.
However, Gu Cheng doesn't care too much about these house fights, after all, she is a person with the potential to be a big villain, even if she can't be a-stirring stick in the immortal cultivation world, no, a big villain. She also didn't have the energy to fight with her stepmother.
After Gu Cheng knew that she could cultivate immortals, in addition to asking Yun Xiu to help her make a few small sandbags and tie them to her hands and feet. It is to stretch by yourself every day, do several sets of sit-ups, burpees, and push-ups in the house.
The Hou Mansion actually has its own martial arts arena and a kung fu master who teaches it, but no one in the third room goes to practice, but the young master in the second room of the big room often goes to practice.
Gu Cheng originally wanted to ask her cheap father for a martial master. However, the cheap father can hand over his mother's dowry to his stepmother Sun to take care of it casually, and he can see the cheap father's attitude towards himself, which can be summed up in three words - I don't care.
Gu Cheng also gave up the idea of looking for a martial master, and still practiced by himself first.
The rest of the time, Gu Cheng used to read and learn calligraphy with Qi Fuzi, and Qi Fuzi began to teach her to play the guqin.
Gu Cheng also learned the electronic piano and flute in his previous life, but he didn't stick to it, and in this life, he had the opportunity to learn the guqin, and Gu Cheng learned it very seriously.
Each fingering method also has its own mysteries, but Gu Cheng may not have a talent for music, and he has not started after studying for more than two years.
Qi Fuzi was also devastated by Gu Cheng, and said to her: "I have never seen such an unenlightened student as you."
Contrary to Gu Cheng's clumsy piano skills, her characters have begun to appear in style, with considerable pen power and momentum.
Qi Fuzi said to Gu Cheng: "Your talents may be in calligraphy, you should only practice calligraphy." ”
Gu Cheng said in his heart: Relive my life, why can't I practice this instrument well.
Qi Fuzi was filled with magic sounds every day......
In the past three years after Gu Cheng lost his mother, although he wore simple clothes from filial piety, he ate simple meals every day. But being able to talk with Qi Fuzi and laugh and play with Yunxiu is also very happy.
As for the house fighting scenes surrounding Gu Cheng's cheap father outside the Bamboo Cultivation Academy, Gu Cheng said that it has nothing to do with me.
Just a month ago, Gu Cheng's happy life was ended.
The lotus flowers of the May Marquis Mansion have leaked small sharp horns.
One day, Sun asked Gu Cheng to come over and speak.
Sun said to her, "Ah Cheng, I don't often play with your brothers and sisters, and how lonely it is to always stay in the yard." You're seven years old, so go to clan school with your sister. Your brother is about to be enlightened, and you can teach him too. ”
Gu Cheng said in his heart, he is not alone at all, and I can't stay in my yard.
He said to Sun: "Mother, I have been learning the piano with my master recently, but my talent is dull and I haven't started for a long time. I want to study with my master for a while, and then go to the family studies after a while. ”
"Ah Cheng is talented, your grandmother invited Qi Fuzi to you at that time to enlighten you, but she is not good at teaching and teaching, and the master in the clan is a good teacher. ”
"Your level is not good, my master's "Guangling San" is playing well. Gu Cheng muttered silently in his heart.
"Then let the Master teach me until the end of the month. Gu Cheng knew in his heart that he couldn't keep his master, so he replied like this.
Gu Cheng met Qi Fuzi early the next morning and told his master's stepmother, Sun, what he said.
Qi Fuzi also laughed: "Your stepmother is really shrewd, and the fate of the two of us as master and apprentice has also arrived." ”
"Gu Cheng, I know that you are ambitious, and your heart is not in this inner house, but do you know that this world is demanding of women. ”
Gu Cheng was surprised when he revealed his ambitions.
Qi Fuzi continued: "Words are like people, I see that you have been practicing words for three years and still don't know what kind of thoughts you have, and you have lived for so many years. Since the day we watched the Immortal Sect test together, your pen style has changed, and it has become more and more aggressive. ”
Gu Cheng was shocked, it turned out that she was still affected a lot.
She said that it was a lie to live a good life in the Hou Mansion for the past five years.
In the same Hou Mansion, others have fine clothes and fine food, and in order to find a chance to live quietly, they have to keep a great filial piety for the Shen family, and they have to have coarse tea and light food, and they have to dress plainly.
In order not to offend her stepmother, Sun, she had to give up her beloved master.
How willing she is, everything depends on people's faces, and she is only confined to this backyard.
After Gu Cheng learned that she was wearing a book, he also thought about staying in the secular world and living a peaceful life. After all, she knew that she didn't have Gu Cheng's excellent IQ in the book, and she didn't want to face the heroine.
In the past two years, she found that she couldn't stand being an ordinary person in feudal society, and her heart was extremely yearning for the bizarre world of cultivating immortals.
So I started tying sandbags and exercising. But it is constrained by identity and cannot do more.
She often wonders if she hasn't worked hard enough, whether she has been left behind a lot by the heroine.
Thinking about it, I was anxious.
"Gu Cheng, no matter what you want to do in the future, the master hopes that you can "take a broad view and make an appointment, accumulate thick and thin hair", don't worry, there will always be gains. The master looked at Gu Cheng and said.
After listening to the master, Gu Cheng bowed deeply and said, "Master, you are really my good teacher." ”
In an instant, it was the thirtieth day of May.
Gu Cheng took out a neatly folded 1,000 taels of silver tickets from his arms, and said to his master: "This is the 1,000 taels of silver that my mother left me, can the master help me exchange them for fifty taels of scattered silver, fifteen silver tickets of ten taels and eight silver tickets of one hundred taels." ”
Qi Fuzi said yes and walked out.
Gu Cheng has held these five thousand taels of silver tickets for the past three years, but he can't use them to guard Baoshan.
Mama Wang is untrustworthy, and Yunxiu is a person who can't leave the house.
The young lady of the Hou Mansion only has a monthly rule until she is six years old, and Gu Cheng only has five taels of silver a month.
After getting the monthly bill, I have to send monthly money to the little maid in the hospital, and there is not much money left in hand after the distribution.
As for Gu Cheng's brothers and sisters, most of the food and play in their hands are subsidized by their parents.
It's a pity that her cheap dad didn't even say a few words to her, let alone subsidize her.
Her stepmom is making up for her?
Looking at how lazy the handyman maid in this yard was, she knew what her stepmother had ordered.
Let Qi Fuzi exchange the silver ticket, Gu Cheng didn't dare to gamble before, after all, Qi Fuzi's monthly bundle was only ten taels, and the wealth was moving.
It wasn't until after the conversation a few days ago that Gu Cheng really trusted the master. Even if Qi Fuzi really took the money and left, Gu Cheng would not regret it, after all, Master had three years of teaching grace to him.
did not disappoint Gu Cheng, Qi Fuzi still came to the house as usual, and brought Gu Cheng scattered silver and silver tickets by the way.
Gu Cheng returned the eight hundred taels of silver tickets to Qi Fuzi, Qi Fuzi wanted to resign, but he couldn't bear Gu Cheng's insistence and accepted it, and forgot about this master-apprentice fate.
