Gu Chengyu had lunch at Yin Mansion and then returned to the mansion.
"Chengyu! Your second sister and I plan to go back today. Now that you are back, we are relieved." Sun Xian knew that Gu Chengyu was back home, so he came to say goodbye to Gu Chengyu.
"Brother Sun and Second Sister, please stay here for a while longer! With you and Little Baozi here, the house will become more popular. It's quite deserted for me to live alone."
Gu Chengyu was a little reluctant to part with Little Baozi, but he also knew that Sun Xian would not agree.
As expected, Sun Xian refused. There were no elders in this house. It was not good for them to live here all the time. There were no married aunts or uncles who would always stay at his brother-in-law's house. What's more, he didn't feel at ease because his mother was alone at home.
At this time, Gu Wan also came in with the little bun, "Brother Xian is right, my mother-in-law is at home alone. Although there is a mother-in-law and a girl at home, it is always inconvenient for her to be a woman. Besides, she has to make pickles.
, I have no time to spare all day long, and when I go back, I can still give her some help."
"Leave the little bun to play for a few days! I'll take him with you." Gu Chengyu picked up the little bun and pinched the little bun's cheeks. He felt that they were soft and felt so good.
The little bun made the little bun shake his head, squealed, and took a bite on Gu Chengyu's face.
Gu Wan took a look and hurriedly took the little bun from Gu Chengyu's hand, "You are doing it just for fun. You are about to take the imperial examination in a few months. Why don't you calm down and read more?"
Gu Wan saw that little bun's face was pinched red and glared at Gu Chengyu.
Gu Chengyu smiled, knowing that Gu Wan would definitely be reluctant to let go. Besides, the child would definitely be inseparable from his mother. If he cried at night, he would not be able to coax him.
"Xiaobao!" Gu Wan suddenly turned serious, then hesitantly spoke.
"Why don't you give up the imperial examination? It's already a big deal for our family to have a successful candidate. I heard people say that a successful candidate can donate to become an official. Look, how dangerous is this thing? We don't
I hope that the rich and powerful will live in peace and tranquility."
Gu Wan was really afraid of what happened this time. Yesterday, she even advised Sun Xian not to take the exam. In her opinion, it was already very remarkable to be a candidate for the exam. Even though the capital was so prosperous, in her heart, she still cared about Jingyuan.
The house is more friendly.
There are too many powerful people here, and if you accidentally offend someone, those aristocratic families and princes and nobles will kill you if you disagree with them.
"Second sister! Stop worrying unreasonably. What happened this time is really unexpected. You see, it is rare to happen once in a hundred years."
When Gu Chengyu knew what happened this time, Gu Wan was frightened. Since she came to the capital, Gu Wan has become much more depressed than when she was in Shangling Village. She used to stay in Shangling Village and rarely went to town.
Coming to Beijing all of a sudden, it may be difficult to adapt.
"But there are so many dignitaries in the capital. You don't know. Last time I saw an old lady selling vegetables on the street. Her stall was overturned by a group of young men who ran by on horseback. She was thrown to the ground and crawling.
You can't even get up, so you have to be helped by others. You don't even dare to say a word. These people are powerful people. I'm afraid that if something happens to you in the future, my second sister still won't be able to help you."
Gu Wan also knew that Gu Chengyu would not agree, but she still wanted to persuade her. Not to mention Gu Chengyu, it was impossible for Sun Xian to agree. She said it in vain, sighed, and held Xiaobao in silence.
Seeing Gu Wan's state, Gu Chengyu felt something was wrong! He looked towards Sun Xian and asked Sun Xian with his eyes what was going on, but Sun Xian also looked confused.
Gu Chengyu could only comfort Gu Wan, "Second sister, in fact, you don't go out often, and you have never seen the cruelty outside. No matter where you are, the law of the jungle is the prey of the strong. Even in Jingyuan Prefecture, the promotion of people is nothing, and it is no different from that in the capital.
.”
"Second sister! Don't worry, don't you still believe Xiaobao? I will be careful in the future." Gu Chengyu sighed, looked at Gu Wan and said seriously.
Maybe it was because she became a mother that Gu Wan had a sense of responsibility as a mother. In the capital, they were the only two siblings. If her parents were away, she, the older sister, should take care of Gu Chengyu. Knowing that it was useless to persuade her, Gu Wan stopped talking.
Already.
Brother Xian told her last night that Xiaobao is smart and is very likely to be in the top three. How could he give up his bright future? Even if Sun Xian himself failed to pass the exam this time, he will continue to take the exam next time.
After Gu Wan and the others left, Gu Chengyu planned to take a rest. In the past few days, he spent a lot of energy on the fraud case. Although he had made up his mind, he was still worried. Now that he was relaxed, Gu Chengyu felt a little tired.
As soon as Gu Chengyu entered the main room, Ming Mo came in to report that Zhu Pang was here.
Gu Chengyu hurriedly braced himself to cope. Maybe he knew that he was back and came to see him.
"I said, you have no conscience. It was useless for me to worry about you at home. I was so worried that I didn't even think about food and drinks. You came back and didn't even look for me." Zhu Pang entered Gu Chengyu's bedroom angrily.
Gu Chengyu smiled as soon as he saw him coming, "Didn't I ask my servant to deliver a message to you? I was planning to visit you at your house tomorrow! I have no time today, and I just want to take a nap now, so you can
coming."
Zhu Pang looked at Gu Chengyu and said, "It's okay! No bruises or swelling, no arms or legs missing, everything is fine!"
Gu Chengyu couldn't be angry with Zhu Pang anymore. He knew that this was his way of caring. This was the kind of harming friends mentioned in his previous life!
"I think you should eat more. Look at your body and face, they are as weak as a chicken." Zhu Pang looked at Gu Chengyu's face and hands, her pink face and peach cheeks,
No matter how you look at her slender, white hands, she looks like a girl.
Gu Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry. Zhu Pang often disliked himself and wanted to become that kind of burly, rugged man full of masculinity. But no matter how he practiced martial arts, he still had a chubby face, a slightly fleshy figure, and looked delicate
Cuteness has nothing to do with roughness.
"Don't talk about me, you can't even eat me! If I want to eat, I can eat at least two big bowls in one meal." Since Gu Chengyu started practicing martial arts, his appetite has become much larger. If he is hungry, he can only eat one meal.
You can also eat two big bowls of rice.
"You didn't suffer in prison, did you? I didn't expect that Wan Xuenian would dare to die to prove it. My father said that his death was in vain. As soon as he died, Mr. Hu came up with Guo Shi's confession. It's a pity."
Zhu Pang told the news he heard from his father, and in his words he felt sorry for Wan Xuenian.
"Who wants to die if there is a way?"
Gu Chengyu felt that the situation in the capital was changing rapidly. Yesterday, he was a wealthy family, but today he has become a prisoner. Without Wan Xuenian, Wan Mansion would probably go downhill, especially if there were no promising children in the Wan clan.
Gu Chengyu thought of Zheng Lun and wondered if he had been released from prison by his father.
"I haven't seen Zheng Lun for several days. Does his father still care about him?"
Speaking of Zheng Lun, Zhu Pang was a little angry. Even if his father was looking at him, he could always send a message, right? However, Zheng Lun was not a timid person. He was also worried about Gu Chengyu at the beginning, maybe it was him
