Li Hui stood quietly in front of the window, thinking about today's events in his mind, and his mood was very low. He felt like a mangy dog that had been beaten at the moment, and he could only hide and lick his wounds. This made him feel
I felt a great sense of frustration, and my heart was filled with anger and uneasiness.
At the beginning of the time travel, he knew that this peaceful and prosperous era of the Jin Dynasty was not a greenhouse garden, but a dark forest. But after all, he held hope in his heart and thought that he could cope with it all. But the reality is that everything here is worse than him.
It was much crueler than imagined.
I had only stayed in the Jin Dynasty for two months, and I already felt humbled and humiliated, and felt helpless in many things. Everything here was different from what I imagined, and I felt that I was being swallowed up by the wave of this era.
There is no room for struggle. The uncertainty and insecurity of fate make people very tormented and panicked.
Li Hui stood quietly in front of the window for a long time, his emotions slowly calming down.
He is a person with a tough character. The more he encounters a situation like this, the more his fighting spirit is aroused. After these things, Li Hui understands a truth more clearly. In this era, it is useless to feel sorry for oneself.
The Jin Dynasty had no sympathy for the weak. He must go all out to become a strong man and control his own destiny. That is what he should do.
Otherwise, you will be swallowed up and annihilated by this era, otherwise you may suffer today's humiliation or even more serious consequences at any time.
Today, Gu Qian has agreed to recommend himself to participate in the Zhongzheng review. Although this road will most likely not be smooth, it is better than no hope.
Moreover, before leaving Nanzhai, Gu Qian also said that participating in the Zhongzheng Review is useful. Even if there is no chance to become an official, getting the Zhongzheng Review itself is a way to enter the vision of the Jin Dynasty court and the nobles. Then
It is also a kind of recognition.
Gu Qian made it very clear that not everyone can participate in the Zhongzheng review. As long as Li Hui's review is not inferior, there will be many opportunities waiting for him. The aristocratic family recruits court guests, officials from Dajin counties, etc.
All have opportunities.
Therefore, the Zhongzheng review itself is an excellent opportunity and is not completely meaningless. There is absolutely no need for you to
The sun is setting in the west, the shadows of the trees are lengthening, and it is already dusk.
Li Hui left the window and came to the bedside to lie down undressed. He planned to go to bed early today because he was really tired today. He felt very tired both physically and mentally. A good sleep would help restore his mood and body.
.
Of course, it was also to avoid being interrogated by Gu Lanzhi who was about to return home, lest she see the scars on her face and arouse further inquiries and pity.
There was a loud knock on the courtyard door outside. Li Hui thought it was his mother who had come back, so he quickly covered his head and face with a thin quilt and pretended to be asleep. He heard Chou Gu limping and went to open the door, and heard the dark sound when the courtyard door opened.
A dull and unpleasant rubbing sound.
"Miss Qingning... Oh, why are you here? Did you go to the wrong door?" Chou Gu's surprised voice came.
Li Hui heard it very clearly. He opened the quilt and listened carefully.
"May I ask, aunt, does Li Hui live here?" A delicate female voice said.
Li Hui sat up quickly. That was Gu Qingning's voice. He tiptoed to the window and looked into the yard through the gap in the window. As expected, he saw an ugly aunt standing inside the courtyard door. In front of the ugly aunt, Gu Qingning was standing there.
Standing there wearing a goose yellow skirt.
"Yes, yes, this is the Li family. My young man's name is Li Hui. He is resting in his room. What's the matter with Miss Qingning?" Chou Gu asked.
"Oh, that's good. Could you please ask the young man from the Li family to come out and tell Qingning to have a few words with him?" Gu Qingning said.
Chougu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Miss Qingning, please come into the yard. I will tell Xiaolang to come and see you."
Gu Qingning thanked him and walked into the courtyard, followed by two maids.
The ugly aunt entered the house with a smile on her face, came to the door, knocked on the door and shouted: "Young man, young man, a guest is here and wants to see you."
Li Hui's voice came from the door: "I'm already asleep, Chou Gu, tell the guests to leave, I don't want to see them."
Li Hui's voice was so loud that Gu Qingning, who was standing in the yard outside, also heard it and looked blankly towards the window of the west wing.
Chougu smacked her lips and said in a low voice: "It's Miss Qingning from the master's south house who is here. She said she has something to tell you. Why don't you see her?"
"Who cares who she is? If I say you can't see her, you can't see me. Chou Aunt, didn't you hear what I said clearly? Please don't disturb my sleep when seeing off guests." Li Hui shouted loudly.
Chougu was startled. She had never seen Xiaolang speak in such a tone and was at a loss for a moment.
Gu Qingning heard it clearly in the yard and said softly: "Li Hui, it was Qingning who caused you to be bullied by them. Why can't Qingning apologize to you? You...why do you have to do this?"
Li Hui's voice came: "Miss Qingning, I don't blame you. You don't need to apologize. You shouldn't come to my house and cause trouble again. I'm not a man of steel. I can't stand you kicking me again."
How many feet."
When Gu Qingning heard this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he bit his lip and stood in the yard in a daze.
The ugly aunt hurriedly came out and bowed to Gu Qingning and said: "Miss Qingning, please don't take offense. My young man can't speak. I don't mean to offend. Let me persuade you."
Gu Qingning shook her head, reached out and took a small package from the hand of the maid next to her, handed it to Chou Gu, and said softly: "Please give it to your young man, I'm leaving."
The ugly aunt took it in a daze, not knowing how to persuade her.
Gu Qingning shouted towards the west wing: "Li Hui, I will go back to Kuaiji County early tomorrow morning, and Aweng will send someone to take me back. I know you have been wronged today. I still owe you a drink, and I will make up for it later."
It's you. Don't be angry, it's all my fault. I...I'm leaving now so I won't disturb you."
After Gu Qingning finished speaking, he looked at the window of the west wing with expectation, as if waiting for something. But there was no sound in the west wing, and Li Hui didn't say a word.
Gu Qingning stamped her feet, turned around and walked out of the hospital. The tears in her eyes couldn't help but roll down.
The ugly aunt followed and said in annoyance: "What...what's going on? What's going on? Miss Qingning must not be surprised."
Gu Qingning lowered her head and walked quickly, leading the two maids to leave the small courtyard and quickly left through the alley.
Chougu stood there for a long time, then turned around and saw that the window of the west wing had been opened at some point, and Li Hui's figure was standing in front of the window.
Chou Gu quickly approached the window and asked, "Xiao Lang, why do you treat Miss Qingning like this? Didn't you... offend her?"
Li Hui looked calm and said in a deep voice: "Chou Gu, don't worry about it. I have my own sense of discretion."
Chou Gu sighed, handed over the package in her hand and said, "She asked the old slave to give this to you."
Li Hui looked at the cloth bag and pondered for a moment, then finally reached out and took it.
In the dim light, Li Hui spread the parcel on the table. Inside was a set of brand new clothes. The texture of the clothes was very soft and silky. It was obviously either silk or satin, and it was very expensive. A piece of hair was tied in the bun.
The hairband still shines with golden luster in the dim light. It is a luxurious hairband inlaid with gold threads.
Next to the clothes is a bottle of black jade paste wrapped in a silk handkerchief. That silk handkerchief is the one that caused trouble before.
Li Hui frowned and pondered for a moment, then reached out and picked up a plain slip in the package, with several lines of beautiful small characters written on it. Li Hui recognized these words through the faint light from the window.
"Master Li Hui: What happened today all started with Qing Ning. Qing Ning felt very guilty when you were blamed. I sincerely apologize. You were injured today, and I feel very sad. I still need this bottle of black jade ointment."
I gave it to you, it can heal your pain. In addition, your clothes were torn by them, and Qingning also compensated you with a new set. Aweng asked me to go back to Kuaiji tomorrow, and I don’t know when we can see each other again. Just say goodbye.
, please take care. Qing Ning left a message."
After Li Hui read Su Jian, he was silent for a moment and sighed softly. Gu Qingning is indeed kind-hearted. She came to give her medicine and clothes. But isn't she afraid that giving these things will cause trouble for herself?
Li Hui thought of the situation when she left just now, and felt a little blocked. He felt that he had made a kind-hearted girl sad. In fact, this little girl had no bad intentions. She sincerely wanted to apologize and compensate. But he could not see her.
When I left Gu Qian's study today, what Gu Qian said before leaving was still in my ears.
"I can try my best to help you. Whether you will make achievements in the future depends on your own destiny. But I must remind you that I trust you, but I will not condone you. Although you have been wronged about what happened today, but if
Let's talk about the matter. The root cause is that you don't abide by the rules of Nanzhai. Even if Qing Ning asks you for help, you can refuse it. You didn't refuse, which makes me have to doubt your motives."
"I might as well make it clear. Qing Ning is my granddaughter. She is new to the world and has a simple and lovely temperament. I treat her like the apple of my eye and love her. I will never allow anyone to have any ideas about her. Anyone who wants to play tricks on her will
Qing Ning’s idea, I will let him die without a burial place. Her future is to marry into a rich family that matches my Gu family and live a carefree life. Li Hui, if you still hope that I can trust you, help
If you can help me make your future smoother, I will no longer have any wrongdoings and avoid Qingning from now on. Recognizing yourself, loving yourself and respecting yourself is the right path."
Gu Qian's expression was extremely serious when he said these words, and his eyes were sharp. Li Hui thought he was joking at first, because he had no wrong thoughts at all. He didn't even change a single thought in this regard. But
Gu Qian's look and tone were obviously not joking, but a serious warning.
Only then did Li Hui understand that Gu Qian had indeed doubted his motives. He suspected that he wanted to take the nepotistic route and wanted to use Gu Qingning as a breakthrough. Li Hui really couldn't laugh or cry about this.
At the same time, Li Hui also made one thing clearer in his mind. In front of the superior Gu family, people like him were like ants. They were not worth mentioning at all. Even Gu Qian seemed to be pretty good.
This is also true for enlightened and gentle people.
The so-called "self-respect and self-love" actually means reminding yourself to pay clear attention to your status and not to have any unrealistic illusions.
