Shi Wei is here to send invitations to Gu Jingyun. The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and the emperor wants to have fun with the people at Deshengmen. There is a stage built there, and there are also platforms for viewing around it. Not only can they book their own seats, but they can also bring some people with them.

Shi Wei thought of Gu Jingyun, so he asked two or three friends to send invitations to Gu Jingyun. The people who came were all who had been to Huguo Temple last time, so the topic soon turned to Gu Lekang.

Shi Wei smiled and said: Gu Daru doesn't say a word now, probably because Gu Lekang doesn't know the severity, and he doesn't know if Gu Lekang can come out to participate in the Double Ninth Banquet.

Gu Jingyun took a sip from his wine glass and asked, I often hear you talking about Gu Daru, but where does he live and what is he like?

Do you want to visit him? Shi Wei shook his head and said, I advise you not to go. Gu Daru is so famous that it is difficult to see him. He is a student who kneels outside the snow grass hut all the year round, but few people can see him. to him.

The corner of Gu Jingyun's mouth twitched mockingly, and he nodded, I'm just curious, I'll go to the entrance of Xuecao Hut to have a look some other day.

Could you be curious about my family first? Shi Wei smiled and said, I told my mother that I just met a beautiful younger brother. She was very excited and kept asking me when I could invite you over.

Gu Jingyun twitched the corner of his mouth and remained silent, the word beautiful was really not a good word for him.

Li Baolu interjected, Go back and tell your mother that he is married.

Shi Wei was stunned, then burst out laughing, and she went back to tell his mother.

Mrs. Shi laughed and said, Then invite his wife too.

Li Baolu asked Gu Jingyun at home, Are you going to socialize with the officials in Beijing?

No, it's not the time yet, Gu Jingyun said, I've found reasons to push it all away.

Many officials and family members in the capital have seen his mother. His face is too iconic. Once he appears, he will not be able to hide his identity if he reports his hometown again.

It's one thing for him not to be afraid of taking care of his family, but it's another thing to be exposed at this time.

Then you still tease Gu Lekang, you should have avoided him last time.

Oh, Gu Jingyun said indifferently: But I just hate him, and when I see him, I can't help but want to make trouble for him. Tomorrow, we'll go and listen to the snow grass cottage.

Would you like to see Gu Lekang's tragedy?

No, go and see how Gu Daru handles this matter, and then see how the Gu family will handle this matter.

The next day, the young couple hired a car and went to a wonton stall in front of Tingxuecao Hut.

Gu Jingyun took a bite of the wonton, and exhaled contentedly, It's much more delicious than the one you made.

Li Baolu pretended not to hear, looked at Tingxue Caolu on the opposite side and said: Where is this thatched cottage, it's obviously a Guangsha.

He likes the word Caolu, which has a scholarly integrity.

Li Baolu sighed, How hypocritical!

So Li An was very lucky. Gu Daru rejected the prince back then, and Gu Lekang was almost unlucky, but I don't know who chose this teacher for him back then. Gu Jingyun asked with a smile: Do you think Gu Daru knows that he has lost his foundation?

Li Baolu: I don't know, otherwise he can be so quiet?

Gu Jingyun burst out laughing, he likes to see people being stupid.

The two of them had just finished eating a bowl of wontons, when they saw an old man walking up the street with a young man carrying a thorn, and from time to time he whipped the young man with the thorn in his hand.

Gu Jingyun's eyes were always good, squinting his eyes for a while, he saw that the young man was Gu Lekang, he raised his eyebrows to look at the old man holding a thorn behind him.

Gu Lekang was pulled up from the bed early in the morning by Master Gu. His hair was uncombed, his face was unwashed, and he was dragged to kneel on the ground and smoked before he had breakfast. The whip hit the flesh, and the inner garment was quickly torn, leaving streaks of blood on the back and arms.

Gu Lekang looked at his grandfather blankly, not knowing what mistake he had made.

Gu Houye tied the thorns on him silently, and said in a deep voice: If you want to know where you are wrong, you should listen carefully.

Listen, what are you listening to?

Gu Lekang was dragged out of the Hou Mansion by Master Gu in a daze, and escorted all the way to Tingxue Caolu.

Early in the morning, there were already many people on the streets of the capital. It was not far from Zhongyonghou's Mansion to Tingxue Cottage. It only took two quarters of an hour by carriage, but it took more than an hour to walk. There were many common people on the road. Few scholars and petty officials, seeing Gu Houye escorting Gu Lekang to plead guilty, most of them said that it should be done.

Gu Lekang listened to everyone's discussion in a daze. In their hearts, it turned out that in their hearts, it was right for him to plead guilty to his master. In their hearts, it turned out that he was so disrespectful to the teacher...

Gu Houye escorted Gu Lekang forward, whipping him every so often, and teaching him as he whipped, Your master loves you, but you don't cherish the test papers your master has worked so hard for you, you know wrong?

Gu Lekang gritted his teeth and said, I know I was wrong!

Gu Lekang walked all the way from the Hou Mansion to the Tingxue Cottage, knelt down on the ground with a bang, looked at the plaque with red eyes, and kowtowed: Master, I know I was wrong!

Gu Daru, who heard the report from the subordinates in the thatched cottage, was filled with shock and anger. When he found out that Gu Hou Ye personally escorted him, he immediately knew that it was not good. Master Gu's shrewdness must be able to figure out the anger in his heart.

But even so, there's no need to be so aggressive and use this method to force him.

Gu Daru gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to come forward, the reputation he had built up over decades cannot be ruined overnight.

Gu Daru hurriedly got up and ran out of the hut, helping Gu Lekang up with a distressed face...

Gu Jingyun was not in the mood to watch them act as master and apprentice, so he got up and left after taking a look at Gu Houye.

Li Baolu hurriedly settled the bill and caught up with him.

If you lose your horse, you know it's not a blessing. If Gu Lekang can see this incident clearly... Gu Jingyun sneered, In the future, his achievements will be far greater than his father's.

Then are you angry?

Gu Jingyun tilted his head and thought for a while: Don't be angry, but just hate him. Not all members of the Gu family are as stupid as Gu Huaijin, we have to be careful, we will return to Guangzhou after participating in the Double Ninth Festival.

When the Double Ninth Festival came, Li Baolu changed into the most beautiful dress early in the morning and followed Gu Jingyun out to Deshengmen.

Shi Wei sent a carriage to pick them up, but the carriage couldn't move before it reached Deshengmen, the front was full of cars, and the sidewalk next to it was also full of people, so Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu sat in the carriage and waited for it with peace of mind. Move forward slowly.

Li Baolu took out a pack of snacks, I had expected that there would be traffic jams every big festival, not to mention that there would be an emperor who likes to join in the fun, so I made your favorite chestnut cake and my favorite Shaqi Ma, if you are hungry, fill your stomach first.

Do you think this fun with the people can be held smoothly?

What do you want?

I hope that the biggest trouble can happen, but this is just a wish. Whether it can be realized depends on how stupid the fourth prince is, but I don't think he is stupid enough for that.

This is not good. What about so many people onlookers? What if a stampede happens? I don't want to die so badly, I'm all a mess.

Gu Jingyun was disgusted for a moment, glared at her and said, You're still eating.

It's okay, I have a good appetite.

Gu Jingyun narrowed his eyes and said: I found that your eloquence has become better and better since you left home.

Li Baolu smiled at him, and said in a low voice, This is how I deserve you.

Gu Jingyun snorted and remained silent.

After the two of them wiped out all the pastries they brought, the carriage finally moved slowly to the front of the stand. Because of the limited seats, the Shi family didn't bring many servants, leaving only one for Gu Jingyun and the others to lead the way.

The seat arranged by Shi Wei was among a large group of students. The adults were very open-minded and knew that the children were impatient to follow them, so they gave them the seats and asked them to find acquaintances and book seats with them. In this way, the upper and lower rows are full of students of the same age, extremely youthful.

As soon as Li Baolu was led up, her face was covered by lively teenagers, and her ears were almost deaf.

Gu Jingyun was also very uncomfortable with this kind of noise, and almost turned around and left. Fortunately, Shi Wei kept paying attention to the entrance, and when he saw the two people appearing, he immediately greeted them, and pulled them in with a full smile.

Pulling him into the middle of a bunch of students, Shi Wei smiled happily and said, You have seen all these people, Brother Gu, play with them first, and I will introduce you to some friends after I have gathered them all.

Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, and Shi Wei handed over the person to his classmate, and continued to pick him up.

The upper and lower rows are all seats reserved by Shi Wei and the others, most of them are students of Qingxi Academy, coincidentally not far away is the seat of Songshan Academy, Zheng Xu saw Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu surrounded in the middle with a glance, He immediately ordered a few students who were tall and heavy to come over together.

The students of Qingxi Academy saw that their visitors were not friendly, so they stood in front of Gu Jingyun one after another.

Li Baolu couldn't help laughing at it, poked him with her finger and said, You've become a sweet potato.

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: It's just a dispute between young people's spirits. But one day they will find that today's fight is not in vain.

I'll wait and see.

Gu Jingyun raised the corners of his lips confidently.

Different from the excitement here, Gu Lekang shut the people sent by his grandfather at the door, buried himself in the pillow and wept silently.

In the past few days, all his cognition has collapsed.

It turned out that the teacher he had always been proud of didn't teach him with his heart, but used his family's resources to use him to earn fame; it turned out that the elite education he had always thought he had received was not even approved by his grandfather's staff...

His teacher didn't love him, let alone dote on him; the strengths he was proud of turned into weaknesses, and he himself became a joke in the capital.

How could Gu Lekang have the face to go out?

Gu Lekang buried himself in the pillow and cried sadly. Gu Houye, who came to pull people, couldn't help but sighed when he saw this, he reached out and touched his head and said, Son, you have to go out, let people see how you are doing That's great, otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke that people watched for so long?

Gu Lekang buried himself in the pillow and didn't speak, he didn't want to go out to see those strange eyes.
