After dressing as a widow

Although in Kyoto, there are still a small number of people who study, and those who can be admitted to Tongsheng and become scholars from Tongsheng are even rarer.

The rest of Mrs. Yu's family heard that Gu Lin answered Yu Dalang's words that he was a scholar, and looked at him frequently.

Yu Dalang was still very surprised and couldn't help asking: "Are you also a scholar who was admitted last year?"

Gu Lin said: "No, he is a scholar who has been in Ganhui for 42 years."

In the 42nd year of Qianhui, that is four years ago, it was a full three years after Yu Dalang said that the person who just became a scholar last year, because the restaurant selling fried chestnuts had a big banquet, Yu Dalang listened to it A lot of things about the imperial examination.

Knowing that after becoming a scholar, he would continue to take the provincial examination every three years, Yu Dalang suddenly remembered that when he asked Gu Lin how many years he had been studying, Gu Lin said seven years ago, and Gu Lin was only 11 years old four years ago, and he was already a scholar It means that he has been admitted to Tongsheng after three years of study, and has crossed from Tongsheng to Xiucai.

As for the scholar who sells fried chestnuts, I heard that he hired a good teacher to teach him at home when he was three years old.

Yu Dalang swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously and tentatively, "You, did you take part in the provincial examination last year?"

Holding the chopsticks with her slender fingers, Gu Lin gave an affirmative answer: "I participated, and got some rankings."

"Click——" The chopsticks in Yu Dalang's hand fell on the table, he stammered, thinking that he was sitting with a gentleman, he couldn't speak clearly, "Really, really not Sorry, I didn't know you were a Juren master."

As soon as the title "Master Juren" was spoken, everyone in the Yu family looked at Gu Lin, and the atmosphere changed instantly.

Gu Lin looked at Yu Dalang, "I'm just a guest of your house, living next door to your house."

Lin Zhen also smiled and said to Mrs. Yu and elder brother Yu who were stunned: "This kid still has a little talent in reading, and this time I came to the capital to take him to participate in the hospital examination in April. Miss Yu, elder brother, don't just think about it." Look at him, he has nothing to look at."

Mrs. Yu and her husband felt that Lin Zhen and Gu Lin were not the kind of people who would put their tails up to the sky after they became famous and look down on merchants like them.

After a while, Lady Yu finally looked away from Gu Lin, and said, "If I knew that Gu Lin was a juren, I wouldn't have dared to invite you to my house."

Lin Zhen smiled and said: "Then I won't have the good fortune of today, and I won't be able to eat this table of delicious food cooked by you, Madam Yu."

Madam Yu sighed in her heart, she couldn't restrain her affection for Lin Zhen beyond gratitude, he was so pretty, kind-hearted, and sweet-mouthed, who could not love him.

After dinner, when Lin Zhen and Gu Lin walked out of Yu's courtyard, Madam Yu whispered to Lin Zhen, "This child is really promising, should he have already arranged a marriage?"

"It's settled." Before Lin Zhen could speak, Gu Lin had already answered.

Lin Zhen looked at him, turned his head and smiled slightly and said to his wife, "It was decided last year."

Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "That must be a very good girl or brother. If there is fate, I will go to drink his wine."

"Okay." There was a wall between the two families, Lin Zhen and Gu Lin bid farewell to Mrs. Yu and Nvniang, and walked to their own house.

Looking at the backs of the two, Madam Yu couldn't help thinking that she didn't know what kind of life experience Gu Lin had. Even her parents were not around, and only one uncle was with her. If they didn't know about it, they would have thought they were two...

It wasn't until seeing the two of them enter the house with her own eyes that Madam Yu turned and went back to her home.

Lin Zhen said that Mrs. Yu's cooking is delicious. It's not polite. Mrs. Yu's authentic Kyoto dishes are very suitable for Lin Zhen's taste. Chen Xing, Zhong Yan and the others came to visit.

Gu Lin, who was walking side by side with him, took her hand and looked at him in the dim moonlight: "Do I look good?"

"?" Lin Zhen was confused.

Soon he realized that Gu Rin asked this question at this moment because of the sentence he said just now that he has no food to look at.

He couldn't help but laugh, and looked up at him: "Gu Shuanzi, you are not ashamed, and you got involved with a table of vegetables."

Gu Lin hugged his waist, "Do I look good?"

Lin Zhen smiled sullenly: "Look at you, look at you, what kind of food can compare to you."

"I don't think you will be able to make it to today. With a table of vegetable vinegar, what kind of old vinegar are you?" The more Lin Zhen talked, the more he felt that such a Gu Shuanzi was extremely cute, and he tiptoed to grab His shoulder, pecked at his chin.

Gu Lin hugged his waist with one hand, bumped his butt and sat on his arm, and Lin Zhen, who originally needed to step on his feet, suddenly stood taller than him.

Lin Zhen, who was almost used to this kind of hug, was not as caught off guard as before. He put his hand firmly on his shoulder and pecked his forehead.

Before the fire started, Lin Zhen quickly patted Gu Lin, "Sleep, there will be many things to do tomorrow."

Gu Lin's jaw was tense, and his Adam's apple twitched violently, but he nodded, carried Lin Zhen directly to the bed, and turned back to his room.

Of course Lin Zhen found out that he had lost hope, but the two of them are not suitable now, and even when Gu Lin was drunk, he remembered that the two were not married, so he couldn't do that, let alone when he was sober.

sleep.

Lin Zhen took off his robe and closed his eyes.

Then I heard the sound of Gu Lin taking a bath very clearly...

The next day, Lin Zhen got up and thought about the things he had to be busy with in the past few days. The most important thing was to deliver the powder, flower dew, and lipstick of the three customers, and then Write out the trick book and give it to the old class master, and give the old class master a gift by the way.

There is a regulation, and Lin Zhen is very busy. There are several kinds of powders ready-made, and they can be packed in porcelain boxes. In addition to plum flower dew, other floral dews are also made. There are four colors of lipsticks in total.

Bright red, orange red, tomato-like red, and light water red suitable for everyday life.

It does not take long to distill the dew, but you need to watch the heat from time to time, and then steam one kind of dew to prevent the smell from changing, and clean the device thoroughly before extracting another one.

The lipstick is much simpler, and it took half a day to finish it all.

Packed a complete set of things and put them in a new custom-made packing box.

It is said that people should be respected first and then people. Lin Zhen changed the indigo collar that Gu Lin bought with a jade-colored shirt, and rented a sedan chair to go to Mrs. Shi first.

"Go to the Shifu." Lin Zhen got on the rented sedan chair and said to the four people who carried the sedan chair.

When the leader heard that he was going to the Shifu, his eyes widened slightly: "Go to the Shifu?"

Lin Zhen looked at him: "Why, brother, don't you know where the Shifu is?"

The leading man said: "There is only one Shifu in Kyoto. If Fulang remembers correctly, we know where it is."

As he said that, the man looked at Lin Zhen, he didn't expect that someone who could be related to Shi Fu would come to rent their sedan chair, it's really strange.
