After the powerful minister was reborn, he married the delicate girl back home

Knowing that Gu Xingmo wanted to go home to recuperate, and after asking the doctor that his body was strong enough to withstand the bumps on the journey, Mrs. Lu rented two carriages and took the time to personally accompany Gu Xingmo back home.

Gu Xingmo is the savior of his family, and because his unsatisfactory son missed the annual government examination, it is really unjustifiable not to visit him, but unfortunately there are too many things going on recently, and Lu Yuanzhou is really overwhelmed. She, a womanly person, could only come forward first, and then let her whole family come to express her gratitude after the government examination.

Mrs. Lu's original name was Qin Wan, and she was born in the palace of the Duke of Qin in the capital of the Northern Dynasties. The title of Duke was passed down from generation to generation. During its glory days, there were also several queens and concubines... But I don't know when it started to decline. Now The Duke of Qin's palace was left with an empty name, not even a center of power.

Gu Xingmo sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain with his slender fingers, looked at the small carriage following him, and sighed softly. It was precisely because of the decline of his parents' family that someone in the capital dared to spread rumors about the daughter of the Qin family. Lu Yuanzhou took his wife away from the capital.

After all, things are unpredictable...

As he thought about it, he thought about Mrs. Lu's nephew again. It was rumored that Cui Chuanchuan was his favorite before he went to the capital. The young man had a good face, red lips and white teeth, and he was indeed attractive to people.

It's a pity that Cui Chuanchui likes her, but her father doesn't. He just thinks that the man is unlearned, stupid, and unworthy of his precious daughter, so he keeps biting his tongue and won't let go.

But Cui Yutao made a mistake that time. He was stupid, he just wanted to avoid the Cui family.

After Cui Chuanchuan got married, that man finally took part in the scientific examination with confidence, and even won the first prize in one fell swoop. He played a lot of role in bringing down the Cui family.

……

Thinking of the father and daughter gave him a headache. Gu Xingmo gently rubbed his temples with two fingers, and then began to take a nap again.

In this way, no matter how long it took, he finally arrived at Gu Xingmo's long-awaited hometown - Gujia Village. Looking at every plant and thing in Gujia Village, he felt familiar and yet strange at the same time.

Qin Wan asked people to bring out the gifts she had prepared, including century-old ginseng and tonics, various handkerchief patterns she drew herself, as well as sweet pastries and candies... They were all rare things in the eyes of country people. I watched with my eyes wide open, for fear of missing something good.

After entering the house, Gu Xingmo was helped to the original room to recuperate. Qin Wan explained what happened to the Gu family in detail, leaving a large pocket of money behind, and leaned over to kneel down.

This shocked the Gu family. The woman in front of them was gorgeously dressed. Just by looking at the silk and satin on her body, it was obvious that she was rich or noble. There was a lot of dust on the ground in the countryside. If such a good material was soiled by kneeling down, They were also distressed, not to mention that this was the person in charge of Gu Xingmo Academy. What would they do if they were forced to kneel down and put Xingmo's shoes back on?

Their family didn't have much culture, so they couldn't help Gu Xingmo except for money. They just asked not to cause any trouble for him.

Gu Xushi and Wang Cuiliu hurriedly stopped Qin Wan, saying, 'It doesn't matter', 'You are still young and you can afford to wait for a year'... But only their family can understand the loss in this.

After a few pleasantries, Qin Wan took the carriage back to Jingyang Academy without further interruption.

After she left, countless villagers came in one by one and asked what was going on with Gu Dashan and Gu Xu. After a few people briefly explained a few words, everyone found it boring and left spontaneously.

However, the fact that Gu Xingmo was seriously injured while saving others and missed the annual government examination was completely spread in Gujia Village, and Li Jiaorong was the last one to know about it.

After washing her clothes and returning home, Li Jiaorong took advantage of the opportunity before her father came back. She found some eggs that she had hidden before and planned to go to the Gu family to see Brother Gu early tomorrow morning. She knew that these eggs were not valuable things. , but it is already the best thing she can come up with now. She only hopes that Brother Gu will not dislike it.

And this is the reason why Li Jiarong stood waiting at the door of Gu Xingmo's house early in the morning.

Wang Cuiliu steamed a bowl of egg custard for Li Jiaorong, but Li Jiaorong refused to take it. She had already received too many favors from the Gu family, so how could she have the nerve to eat this bowl of yellow egg custard?

The little girl was extremely stubborn at the moment. She only lowered her head to break open the corn buns and gnaw on them, not even daring to pick up the pickles.

Seeing her like this, Gu Xingmo could only say in a deep voice: "Rong Niang, you said before that no matter what Brother Gu says, you will listen."

The little girl was stunned, then reached out to pick up the bowl of custard, and whispered: "Brother Gu, don't be angry, I'll eat it."

She ate very delicately. She picked up the spoon with her little hand, took a small mouthful and brought it to her mouth. She felt the soft texture of the eggs combined with the refreshing taste of green shallots, and seemed to have the mellow smell of sesame oil. Her crystal-clear and moist apricot eyes widened slightly. , seemed to be shocked by how delicious this bowl of custard was.

She was obedient, but she was so well-behaved that Gu Xingmo felt very uncomfortable. She was like this in the last life, no matter what he said, she would listen and believe whatever he said. She was so good that he never wanted to let go for the rest of his life, but the result was nothing. It hurt her.

Li Jiaorong obediently finished her custard and was looking at Gu Xingmo with a smile, as if waiting for his praise.

But Gu Xingmo was so focused on his own thoughts that he didn't notice the little girl's loss. When he came to his senses, Li Jiaorong was holding her chopsticks tightly again and remained silent.

Gu Xingmo looked at the empty bowl with not even a green onion left, smiled, and said, "Rong Niang has finished eating? You're so good."

This sentence made Li Jiaorong's heart surge. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Gu Xingmo happily. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyebrows were like broken mountains and rivers, looking innocent and compassionate.

Li Jiaorong had a good appearance, and she seemed to be like her mother who had already abandoned her husband and daughter and ran away. Regarding Li Jiaorong's life experience, Gu Xingmo had also heard a little bit:

Li Jiaorong's father is a migrant who makes a living by hunting. He looks fierce and tall, which scares the girls in Gujia Village. He has also hired many matchmakers, but none of them have succeeded, so he is very old. Not yet married.

Later, he picked up a peerless beauty in the mountains and came back. After rescuing her, they got married regardless of her wishes.

The Li family lived in the west end of the village, which was more remote than Gu Xingmo's home. Because the two of them got married, nothing was done, so that everyone only knew about it when the girl was about to give birth.

Although the girl didn't like Li Orion, she cherished the little girl he worked so hard to give birth to. She held her in his arms day and night. When Li Orion saw this, he thought she had accepted her fate, so he stopped locking her up. In the house, she was told to take good care of herself and hope that they would have a boy and a girl in the coming year.

Unexpectedly, the girl was stubborn. After naming the child, she ran away in the middle of the night.

That night, Gu Xingmo was still reading and hadn't slept for a long time. He heard someone knocking on the door, and then Gu Xu walked out. He didn't know what the two said. He only knew that the next day, Li, who was only one month old, Jiao Rong no longer has a mother.

Li Orion couldn't keep it off his face and told the public that her mother fell into the water and died. But everyone knew that the person ran away. Only the young Li Jiarong didn't know. No matter what others said, she always firmly believed that her mother was dead. He fell into the water and died, because no mother would have the heart to not have her own child.

Li Orion was a rough man. After his wife ran away, he also started drinking and gambling, leaving Li Jiaorong, who was only a few months old, unattended. Later, Mrs. Gu Xu couldn't bear it in her conscience, so she took the child back. Home is coming.

Gu Xingmo knew that his mother had let her mother go, and he had taken great care of her since she was a child.

But that Li Orion was not a human being. It must be said that the Gu family stole the child with ulterior motives and took Li Jiaorong back. Gu Xu was worried and went to check on her from time to time. Only then did Li Jiaorong grow up to her current height. Thirteen years old now.
