The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Gu Jinyu felt a little disappointed when she thought that the Crown Princess had given her a gift for something else.

"Miss, the Crown Princess invites you to enroll, are you going?" asked the little girl beside her.

"do not know."

A woman should not show her face, but this is another chance to make a name for herself. Staying in the house, her reputation is limited, and she longs for more people to see her talent. There is no more ideal place than the academy.

But she was worried that Mrs. Gu and her mother would not agree.

Mrs. Gu's thinking is relatively old-fashioned, and it was her father who lobbied for a long time to invite Mr. Xixi to her.

If she learns that she is going to study abroad—

Gu Jinyu frowned.

Just as he was distressed, the servant reported that Lord Hou had returned to the mansion.

Gu Jinyu hurriedly went to the door to welcome him.

Gu Houye had been busy working in the Ministry of Industry for several days, and his whole body had lost a layer of skin.

He got off the carriage haggard, and when he entered the house, he saw his daughter walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Daddy!" Gu Jinyu called out sweetly.

Gu Houye felt that all his exhaustion had disappeared in the sound of daddy. He smiled and looked at his daughter, who came to his side, dotingly: "It's so cold, what are you doing out here?"

"I'll wait for Daddy!" Gu Jinyu said with a smile.

Gu Houye said with satisfaction: "You are the most caring! By the way, how is your mother? Is she in the house?"

"Yes, mother just took a rest." Gu Jinyu said.

Gu Houye frowned: "Is it uncomfortable for you to rest so early?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of the post in Gu Jinyu's hand, "What are you holding in your hand?"

Gu Jinyu handed the post to Master Gu Hou: "The Crown Princess has set up a women's school and wants me to go to school."

Gu Houye opened it and looked at it: "What did your mother say?"

Gu Jinyu said softly, "Mother is resting, I haven't had time to tell her, what does Daddy think?"

Lord Gu said, "If your mother thinks it's okay, then you can go."

Gu Jinyu hesitated: "Grandma's side..."

"That's it for me." Gu Houye didn't think it was difficult, what came to his mind, Gu Houye asked, "I only gave you one post? Did you say how to get admission?"

Gu Jinyu said: "As far as a post is concerned, the person who sent the post is a noble girl who is known to be talented and famous in Beijing. If there are still people who want to be admitted, they can pass the test."

"You still need an exam?" Gu Houye frowned deeply. That girl can only farm the land and doesn't know a single big character. How could she possibly pass the exam?

"Is there a way to get another spot?" he asked.

Gu Jinyu asked innocently, "Does Dad want my sister to enroll? I ask, if possible, please ask the princess to give her a place. If there are not many, I am willing to teach my sister to read and study."

"I'm afraid if you want to, she won't appreciate it. Forget it, you can take care of the post yourself." Gu Houye returned the post to Gu Jinyu. Seeing that she hesitated, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jinyu said in a low voice, "Father hasn't come back for a few days, so he probably doesn't know that something happened in the house.

"

Lord Gu asked, "What happened?"

Gu Jinyu lowered her eyes, squeezed the handkerchief and said, "The third brother... and the second brother were imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the elder brother."

Gu Houye took a deep breath: "What did they do? No, your second brother is no longer in trouble, is it your third brother? What did he do?"

Gu Jinyu's face showed embarrassment: "It seems... the third brother and elder sister had a bit of trouble, and was beaten by elder sister, and the third elder brother was seriously injured."

"How come that girl beats everyone when she catches it?" Gu Houye rubbed his sleeves and said coldly, "That girl has returned to the mansion?"

"elder sister……"

"The eldest lady hasn't returned to the house yet."

Gu Jinyu's words were only halfway through when she was interrupted by a housemaid who appeared nearby at an unknown time.

Fang mama bowed to the two of them, and said neither humble nor arrogant: "The third son bullied the little son, causing the little son to have a heart attack, and the eldest lady was not angry, so she gave the third son a lesson. The third son suffered from skin trauma, Compared with the little son, it is not worth mentioning."

It's really a skin injury, the kind that can't get out of bed for a month.

Gu Yan was jumping up and down early, and Gu Chenglin's torment had just begun. Every night he was in so much pain that he couldn't even take medicine.

Mother Fang sighed: "The third son has always been spoiled, and he also cried when he was injured. Poor little son, he doesn't cry or make trouble when he has a heart attack, how disheartening he is, but people think he's fine. ."

Gu Jinyu's face was hot.

Momo Fang's words not only ridiculed Gu Jinyu, but also put a hat on Gu Chenglin. After a while, even if Gu Houye saw Gu Chenglin crying, he would only think that he was squeamish.

Lord Gu frowned and said, "Have Yan'er met Chenglin?"

Fang Momo sneered: "It's also a coincidence that the three young masters actually entered the same academy. On the first day of school, the third son recognized the little son, but the little son didn't know him, so he kidnapped him to the woodshed, tied him up and locked him up. After a whole day, he had a heart attack, and only one life was saved after nine deaths."

Gu Houye was furious: "Nizi! Let him kneel for me in the ancestral hall!"

After he said it coldly, Lord Gu Hou didn't even look at Gu Chenglin's injury, he got in the carriage and went to Bishui Hutong to see Gu Yan.

Only Mammy Fang and Gu Jinyu were left on the lawn.

Gu Jinyu opened her mouth.

Fang Momo bowed her knees and said, "Second miss, it's getting late, you should go back to rest, and the slaves will also go back to serve the madam."

"Mommy!" Gu Jinyu stopped her, "I... that's what I was going to say."

Fang Momo nodded: "The slave girl understands that although the second miss is not the real life of the Hou Mansion, but it is the wife who pooped and pissed her big, so why wouldn't the second miss not help the wife and others? Isn't that too bad-hearted? ?"

Gu Jinyu's face turned pale.

Fang Momo smiled lightly: "The slave servant is a servant and can't speak. Please take care of the second lady."

Gu Jinyu didn't know what to say. She felt that she was being scolded, but Fangmao didn't target her again.

Mother Fang is Yao's confidant after all, so Gu Yan can be angry with her, but Gu Jinyu, who is a good girl, absolutely cannot.

"Mammy is serious." Gu Jinyu said, "Mammy, go take care of my mother."

Mistress Fang said earnestly: "Second miss, you might as well remember Madam's words, and don't communicate with the first lady's three sons. They will not accept the second young lady, and they will not become the second young lady's support in the future. Pardon the blunt words, the second young lady. The only people who are really reliable are the lady and the eldest lady."

Gu Jinyu smiled slightly: "I remember, mammy."

A girl who grew up in the countryside, who only knows how to scrape food in the ground, why should she be her backer?

Did you know Yuan's lame husband from that high school?

Mammy is really old.

--

Gu Houye went to see Gu Yan, Gu Yan was all right, but he still pretended to be about to die.

Grandpa Gu was so angry that he returned to the mansion. How could Mrs. Gu come to look for him, and he was determined not to go to Gu Changqing to release Gu Chenglin!

Madam Gu asked someone to send charcoal to Gu Chenglin.

"What charcoal? He'll freeze to death!"

Gu Chenglin's charcoal was confiscated by his own father.

Xiao Liulang also heard a little bit of wind in the Guozijian about the women's school.

In fact, this matter is slightly different from the rumors in the circle. It is not advocated by the Crown Princess. As early as more than ten years ago, Empress Dowager Zhuang proposed to open a women's school, but it was unanimously opposed by Her Majesty and the cabinet ministers.

This matter is over.

Now that the old things are brought up again, the biggest possibility is His Majesty's idea.

Zhuang Taifu led a hundred officials to urge the re-opening of the Guozijian, and his prestige increased sharply in the eyes of the court and the people. His Majesty wanted to accumulate fame and prestige for the royal family, so he opened a women's school in the name of the crown prince.

Since it was run by the imperial court, the quality of women's schools would not be too bad.

During dinner, Xiao Liulang talked about the women's school at the dinner table.

Xiao Jingkong snorted: "Female school? Can Jiaojiao go there too?"

The old lady vaguely felt that the word "women's school" sounded strangely familiar. She recalled it seriously, but couldn't remember anything, but this did not prevent her from supporting Gu Jiao to study: "You can go."

Gu Jiao: ...I don't want to go.

Someone who has gone through a series of cruel examinations such as the college entrance examination in his previous life expressed that he never wanted to turn over the book again in this life.

The family didn't force her. After all, being forced to go to school is really sad.

Xiao Liulang, Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan, and Xiao Jingkong all have a deep understanding of it!

After eating, Xiao Jingkong suddenly looked at Gu Jiao cutely: "Jiaojiao, I want to eat candied haws!"

Gu Jiao moved his little tiger hat: "Okay, I'll buy it for you."

This is the advantage of living on the street. You can buy whatever you want, but you don't have that in the countryside.

"I'll go." Xiao Liulang said.

"It's not too far." Gu Jiao said.

The old lady waved her hand: "It's alright, let's go together! Momochi!"

The two went to Chang'an Avenue together.

There was no snow in the sky when I went out, but halfway through, the snowflakes fell one after another.

Gu Jiao looked at Feixue above her head and said with emotion, "The snow in the capital came so early."

Xiao Liulang said: "It's not too early this year, sometimes it will go off at the end of October."

"Oh." Gu Jiao asked, "Did you live in the capital for a long time before?"

The two rarely asked each other's secrets, and it was the first time that such a topic could be brought up so calmly.

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang hummed.

Gu Jiao didn't ask any further questions. Some topics were brought up suddenly, but they shouldn't go into depth.

She looked at the endlessly flowing streets: "The capital is so nice."

Xiao Liulang looked at her: "Do you like the capital?"

"Well." Gu Jiao said, "The capital is lively."

She doesn't really like liveliness very much, but being in a lively environment will make her feel more clearly that she is still alive.

The snow was heavy, but the wind stopped, and the snowflakes fell quietly.

I remember once in the town, it was such a snowy night. They came out to buy sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and sat in front of the stall to eat two bowls of steaming rice balls.

It was a miserable time.

She was reluctant to even buy a poached egg for herself, so she only asked the boss to give him one.

Although the truth is that Gu Jiao doesn't like poached eggs, Xiao Liulang doesn't know, so he has been moved until now.

"Oops—how did you walk?"

Gu Jiao bumped into someone, a young man in a hurry.

The young man was hit and almost fell over, and fiercely beat Gu Jiao: "Be careful!"

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

It's true that she bumped into people.

She is not unreasonable either.

She is also nice sometimes.

She apologized.

The young man couldn't say anything else, so he muttered and walked away.

Chang'an Avenue is full of people, and if you are not careful, you will bump into it.

Xiao Liulang glanced at her and hesitated.

The snow was getting heavier, and there was a cold wind.

"Eh? Why didn't they sell candied haws? I remember that Tian Tian was clearly around here." Gu Jiao's little hands were frozen stiff, she took them up and put them on her lips and sighed.

Xiao Liulang looked at her hand and moved his fingertips.

But he didn't reach out.

Gu Jiao breathed a few more breaths, it was too cold.

Xiao Liulang finally gathered up his courage and raised his hand to hold her hand.

"Ah - found - look!" Gu Jiao Yao pointed.

Xiao Liulang's hand fluttered, Gu Jiao finished pointing, looked back at him, he switched seamlessly, raised the fluttering hand quietly, and touched his handsome head.

Gu Jiao walked over and asked for five strings of candied haws: "By the way, little brother, does your candied haws have less sugar?"

The hawker smiled: "It's a coincidence, girl, there really is! My little nephew is only one year old and loves to eat this, but if he eats too much, his teeth are not good, so I made a few that looked bright red, but didn't put much sugar in it!"

"Then, can you give me two?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Okay!" The hawker took two strings of unsweetened candied haws to Gu Jiao, "A total of 70 wen, and I will give you a small one."

"Thank you." Gu Jiao took the candied haws and grabbed them all in one hand, so big that she almost couldn't hold them.

Xiao Liulang saw that she was struggling, and said to her, "I'll come."

Gu Jiao shook her head: "No need! I'll take it!"

After all, turn around and go back.

Xiao Liulang followed with a cane.

As he was walking, suddenly a soft little hand reached out and took his hand.

Xiao Liulang was startled.

Gu Jiao tilted her little head, blinked her eyes and said, "If you took the sugar gourd, you wouldn't be able to hold my hand, didn't you just want to hold it?"

Xiao Liulang blushed, and suddenly his heart was full.
