Chapter 31: Strange Things

Gu Run waited until midnight with her eyes open and held her breath to look through the window. The lights of her home and Gu Laoshi's next door were turned off. She quietly got up and pushed the door out, carefully walked around to the backyard of her second uncle's house, squeezed hard through the gaps between the two fences, pried open the window of the small study in the west and crawled in. After staying for half a quarter of an hour, she slipped out of the window with her bulging sleeves in her head, sweating all over her head.
Just as Gu Runxin was terrified to drill into the fence, Li Zijun was also lying on the straw mat with his eyes open. He was so lazy that he couldn't read the books at all.
The moon rises to the treetops, and the cold air rushes into the bones.
In his house, the weather is only heavier in rainy days in midsummer, and it is still good when it is next to him, but after summer, it looks gloomy.
Li Zijun turned down, got up and picked up the black-faced cake that his mother had prepared for him and took a few bites.
The cake was already very cold and hard, but I was so hungry that I could barely get it.
Today when Gu Sanniang returned to the village, he saw a tall and powerful sergeant driving for her, as well as a car full of food and cloth and quilts.
At that moment, Li Zijun was extremely jealous.
Needless to say, the grain prices of grain in the county change three times a day. The affordable grain that the imperial court stipulates is only a little bit of it every day, not enough food for dozens of people.
Quilts are also priceless things.
He has been studying for many years. Although he usually doesn't understand the worldly ways and only reads sages, he is to avoid trouble and enjoy himself. He is not really "silly".
After so many hard days, he really regretted it. He should have coaxed Gu Xiang a little bit. With his current conditions, Gu Xiang is the best choice he can find.
Recently, his reputation in the village has become worse and worse. Everyone thinks he is lazy and unfilial. Obviously, his classmates are all as good as him. They only need to study hard every day, even if they are poor, they also have parents, brothers, wives and children to take good care of themselves. This is just a common sense in the world.
"Why!"
He still lives in the village and needs someone to protect his fame after passing the exam. Once he loses his reputation, his hard study over the years will be terrible.
After all, we still have to get married.
Li Zijun is very sober. He has good talent, but he is not a genius. Even if he can pass the exam successfully next year, he will not be able to get a success in three or five years if he wants to pass the exam.
Do you really want to stop like those poor scholars, go back to your hometown to run a private school, teach a few country boys, and pack up some ragged clothes as a slap?
He is absolutely unwilling to give up.
But his father died early, and he was only an old and sick mother. It was extremely difficult for him to be a scholar at home. In order to restore his reputation in the past few days, he did some things and took on the errands of copying books. He fished for three days and made money on the Internet for two days. He barely shared some housework for his mother at home. In this way, he was not only tired but also less time to study.
Thinking of how many people who were over forty or fifty years old could win the imperial examination, he was afraid that it would be impossible for him to be an exception, and Li Zijun had a headache.
After all, it is better to get married. When his wife comes in, he can be filial to him. His mother only needs to lie high and not have to go out to do rough work. Naturally, no one can talk about unfilial things anymore.
Thinking of marrying a wife, Li Zijun's eyebrows couldn't help but feel a little depressed and unhappy.
At the beginning, he didn't take this matter seriously. What's the point of Gu Sanniang's refusal to marry? That was her loss. Without Gu Sanniang, he could still find Wang Sanniang, Zhao Sanniang, and Li Sanniang. With his appearance and talent, what's the difficulty of getting married?
But when I really started talking about being close, everything was not going well.
It’s still the same. The girls in the village have a little flat head and a little upright. They either want to marry to the county town to live a good life or ask for a very high bride price.
The woman who was willing to look for him in the county town had some flaws.
Li Zijun was not satisfied with any of them. She was so scared that even the matchmaker was afraid of her and refused to tell him to kiss her again.
People speak tactfully, but they often suggest that they should focus on their studies, first pass the scholar and then consider the marriage, so they will naturally have more choices.
Li Zijun: “…”
Could it be said that others have said this? He just wanted to find a woman to take care of his family affairs and support him in school and to take the exam for scholars.
If Gu Xiang could be coaxed, how could there be so many troubles now?
It was creaking, and Li Zijun was sleeping in a daze when he heard the door ringing. He looked up and saw his mother walking into the door. Her face was unusual and her face was shining.
"Brother Jun, you told your mother, do you still want to marry Gu Xiang?"
Li Zijun frowned: "So what if I think about it? Gu Sanniang is now cold to her son. How could she marry her?"
Wang raised his eyebrows contemptuously: "That was the past, now, I just want to see if my son wants to marry or not, but there is no room for her Gu Xiang to argue with him."
As he said that, Wang mysteriously took out a stack of slightly yellow paper from his sleeve. Li Zijun took it over and raised his eyebrows, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Where did it come from?"
"Gu Sanniang is traitorous. Some people can't stand it, so they specially stuffed it into the crack of our house."
...
The biological clock that Gu Xiang developed in the military camp was very stubborn. Although she wanted to be lazy and sleep in, she woke up as soon as she wanted to sleep and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up and went to the kitchen to make food.
The remaining mutton soup last night was naturally not wasted. The farmers were most despised by the fact that food wasted. Gu Xiang first took the dry cook cake to clean the grease in the soup. The mutton soup had been absorbed and continued to steam it. The mutton soup rolled away again, and the clear and bright pot of good soup was a pot of good soup.
After the food was ready, Gu Xiang personally picked up the food box to deliver food to his grandfather and grandmother. When he entered the door, Gu Run sat beside his grandmother and made a fuss.
As soon as she saw Gu Xiang, Gu Run's subordinates shivered and their collars were tilted. She quickly lowered her head to sort out the messy lines. Gu Xiang said hello to Gu Run while setting up a job. She felt that Gu Run's instant change was quite strange. She blinked and opened the eye of insight after a moment of contemplation.
“…”
With just one glance, Gu Xiang raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. It was really strange that he encountered each other.
Gu Xiang himself is a time traveler. Well, he is a book-written person. At the moment, his cousin Gu Run also has a label - "Pseudo-Rebirth".
She should have gotten some fragments of information about her future, and overall she can also watch it as a rebirth.
Is there really something wrong with Gu’s feng shui?
Gu Xiang seemed to have some understanding, so Gu Run's madness was not crazy, but confusing the future with the present. So, in the future she knew, her parents and villagers died? Shouling was in chaos?
Compared to such a serious matter, Gu Run entered his study in the middle of the night and went to the Li family again, which seemed to be - well, it was also very important.
Gu Xiang first carefully recalled the "dangerous items" in his small study and sighed helplessly. The things had arrived at the Li family. Unless she immediately asked the old dog to go to the Li family to chop off Li Zijun and his mother, she would set the fire, otherwise she would definitely not be able to get it back.
Gu Xiang raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows: "Sanniang, Sanniang, there are so many things to do in the world, and life is so beautiful, why do you have to think about it? You only have to like scumbags. Look, you have trouble with it? This is why I don't care about reputation or not. If you change to another woman, you will be angry to death."
