As the sun sets, the clouds flowing in the sky are dyed red glows, which is so beautiful.
When the daughter-in-law of the Gu family saw that the dusk was rising, they went to the veranda and walked towards their respective yards while chatting.
"Zhao Jie'er has become a big girl, and she is more beautiful and can't help but be blinded."
Yang smiled and said to Zhao, "Sister-in-law is the most blessed. Brother Shu is good, and Sister Qing is also sensible."
Zhao took the peony bun and her phoenix eyes were slender. She smiled and said, "Xia Jie'er is smart and elegant, and she is also excellent."
Which mother doesn’t love her children? When Zhao heard such praise, his smile became deeper.
What if Yang Zhen is the daughter of the Pavilion Master? So what if she becomes the mistress of the third wife? The habit of the concubine in her bones will unconsciously compliment the legitimate family... Zhao actually also despises her a little.
"Xia Jie'er is still young, what can you tell..." Yang's laughter was crisp and pleasant.
Sun held Li Ju's hand and followed behind the two without answering the conversation.
Through the colorful Gu family back garden, there is an octagonal pavilion in front of it. The vine is winding on it, and it is about to bloom in buds, wrapped in pink jade, surrounding the octagonal pavilion into a flower wall.
When you reach the fork in the road, turn right and arrive at Jinxiuyuan.
Sun and the two said goodbye.
Yang waited for Sun to walk away and whispered: "...Second sister-in-law is such a pitiful person. If the second brother is gone, sister Han is a good friend..."
She sighed, feeling very pity.
Zhao snorted, lowered his eyes and sneered: "They are very lucky. Don't be sick every day, they may not be as long as we live."
"Sister-in-law?"
Yang was very surprised. Zhao said that fate was nothing more than Sister Han... This is the most taboo topic of the Gu family. The old lady would be unwilling to be the first one when she heard it.
"What are you afraid of?"
Zhao looked back at the girl and the woman who followed him, and they were all serving each other with a strict mouth. "She is tough and no one is allowed to tell her."
She doesn't like the way her mother-in-law looks like a second wife. She is obviously the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter are in the big house, so if she wants to be partial, it should be a big house.
Seeing that Zhao did not care at all in his words and that he did not want to offend her, Yang had to agree with her.
"Mother..." Gu Xia was led by the girl and chased after her from the veranda. The silver bells on the girl's bun kept ringing, and she said aggrievedly: "I've been looking for you for a long time, but Liushuixuan hasn't. So it's here."
As he spoke, he bent and bowed obediently to Zhao.
"What do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Yang held the girl's hand.
"Xia Jie'er wants to eat the auspicious and wishful rolls you made, but the ham meat made by the chefs is not delicious."
Gu Xia looked up at his mother and acted cutely, so cute.
Zhao rubbed the little girl's bun and smiled and said, "...Go, third brother and sister, don't be hungry."
Yang agreed and laughed at the girl: "You are naughty, you are so naughty, you have learned to pick on your mouth."
...
A light breeze blew, and the petals fell one after another.
After leaving, a man turned out from behind the Octagonal Pavilion, wearing a crescent white and thick straight face. He was Zhang Juling.
He was seen by Gu Linchuan, and passed by the garden and encountered the scene just now... It was inappropriate to come forward, so he could only hide.
The Hanjie they mentioned should be Gu Nuan’s sister. I met her in the afternoon and heard Gu Nuan call her name - Hanjie.
The girl's smile appeared before her... her face looked sickly pale.
Zhang Juling has always been close to Gu Nuan and knows about the news about Yitie and Second Room.
It is precisely because of understanding that I feel inexplicably sad.
When Mr. Gu passed away, she was still in her stomach... What does it have to do with her?
She is not doing well in the Gu family, right?
"... Master, please wait slowly, wait for me."
The servant Shuming followed Zhang Juling closely. He had been following the young master for a long time and knew what to listen to and what not to listen to.
However, the young master walked too fast and he couldn't keep up at all.
Lingboyuan Study Room.
Gu Lin sat on the chair of the Grand Master and drank tea. When he saw Zhang Juling coming in, he shut up the servant in the room.
“…Students meet Mr. Gu.”
Zhang Juling bowed and bowed.
"Well, sit down and talk."
Gu Lin finished a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Juling.
"Students dare not."
Zhang Juling thanked him and stood in front of Gu Lin.
Gu Lin gave up his seat again and again, and it would be fine to see that he refused.
He took a sip of tea and opened the right way: "I came to you to have a heart-to-heart talk... Some words have been kept in my heart for a long time, and it is time to say them."
"Three years ago, Zhou Ning and Zhou Censor rushed from Kyoto to Huguang to preside over the provincial examination. You were one of the students who took the exam. You were outstanding in your knowledge. The test papers of that year should be the top of the list. Zhou Censor also believed so.
But he is my student. Before that, we discussed that he would sentence you to fail.
Therefore, he also started a fight with another invigilator, Huguang, Qian Gong, who was upright all his life, was not afraid of the Beijing officials. He risked throwing away his black hat and scolded Zhou Jingshi for his favoritism and fraud in front of all the officials... Later, it was only when I came forward that I suppressed this matter."
Gu Lin said concisely, but Zhang Juling was stunned, "Why did you do this?"
The seventeen-year-old boy lowered his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes.
After experiencing the first setback after failing the exam, he already knew how to restrain his edge.
Gu Lin said something he did hear about, and he had a lot of controversy back then, and he also had grudges in his heart.
Gu Lin did not answer his question and asked back: "Have you ever heard of the story of "Sure Zhongyong"?
If you don’t teach your innate wisdom and just compare and show off your wisdom, you will only be lost in everyone.”
"...I'll delay you for three years to hone your conceit of becoming famous in youth.
The ancients said that great things were late, which meant that the middle-class talent was mentioned, but you were not. Your talent was like the capable ministers Guan Zhong and Xiao He. You could do great things and change the destiny of the country."
Gu Lin stood up, stood in front of the window of the study with his back to Zhang Juling, and instructed deeply, as if he was telling someone's grievances.
At this moment, like all the sages who cherish talent, he was eager to find good ministers who assisted the country.
When Zhang Juling was ten years old, he passed the exam for his reciprocity and agility.
He is not an exaggerated literati, and his love and love for Zhang Juling comes from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Lin was an official for decades. Although he was old, his blood was hot. His original heart was ultimately his country and compatriots who loved him.
"Mr. Xie's advice."
Zhang Juling knelt down and kowtowed. After years of mystery, he finally realized the sudden realization. Lord Gu’s intervention was to make him truly make a difference.
He really felt bitter when the test failed, especially the cold eyes that the child prodigy suffered after the distortion of his light...
Can a failure in an exam make him lose everything he once had?
The warmth and coldness of human feelings in the world are nothing more than this.
"stand up."
