The emperor appeared on the top stand with the princes and ministers. Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun knelt on the ground with their heads bowed, and didn't get up until the voice of the servants sang in the distance.

  Gu Jingyun raised his head to look at the top stand, and at a glance he saw an old man in a bright yellow dragon robe in the middle.

   Seeing that the other party was in high spirits, looking down at his subjects with a smile on his face, Gu Jingyun was slightly disappointed, he was almost sixty years old, how could he still be in such good health?

   Gu Jingyun, who yearned for the death of the emperor all the time, sighed in disappointment.

  Li Baolu continued to stare at the emperor with wide eyes, and after a while, she whispered to his ear: "The emperor's face is rubbed with powder."

   Gu Jingyun frowned.

   "It's a pity that I can't observe words and expressions up close, otherwise I'll know more."

  Gu Jingyun smiled and said, "There will always be a chance."

   This was a harmonious Double Ninth Festival. The people were happy, the officials were happy, and the emperor successfully completed the project with the people. Not only the guards, but also the yamen and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture were greatly relieved.

   After seeing the emperor enter the palace, he waved his hand and said, "Go to the streets to evacuate the people and step up patrols to prevent stampede incidents."

   Then the patrolling yamen found Gu Huaijin and his entourage Changshun who had been knocked out in an alley.

  The yamen officers pulled out the belt around Gu Huaijin's waist, and their expressions changed. This is something only honorable and noble can wear. They hurriedly carried people into the medical hall, and at the same time, they were on guard, for fear that someone would come to sabotage the Double Ninth Festival.

  The emperor has returned to the palace, but there are still many ministers and family members here at Deshengmen, and any accident can kill them.

  Li Baolu dragged Gu Jingyun to run, and stuck out her tongue mischievously after she got into the crowd. She lowered her voice excitedly and asked, "How is it, how does it feel to beat someone?"

  Gu Jingyun's eyes shone brightly and said, "Excellent!"

   Li Baolu breathed a sigh of relief and ordered a wax for Gu Huaijin in her heart.

When she saw Jingyun thinking of the dead little cousin, she was sad and self-blaming, for fear that he would have a heart attack, and she could not take revenge on the Gu family immediately, all she could do was beat the Gu family, and in all the Gu family Among the people, Gu Huaijin was the best and most deserving one.

   As soon as the emperor left with the princes, Li Baolu took Gu Jingyun and Shi Wei to say goodbye, and deliberately bypassed the exit on Xungui's side to wait.

  Gu Huaijin didn't like to hang out with nobles. He had his own social circle, so as soon as the emperor left, he also left.

   He is going to drink and write poetry with his friends.

  Because a large number of people gathered at Deshengmen, the carriage could not get in. Gu Huaijin could only walk out with Changshun, and then he could find his own carriage after going out.

   As a result, before the person went out, Gu Huaijin felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness.

  Li Baolu supported a person with one hand, and led the person to the depths of the alley with a straight face, and the two fell to the ground as soon as the hand was released.

  Li Baolu gave Gu Jingyun a big smile and said, "Beat it up."

  Gu Jingyun looked at Gu Huaijin tangled, "He's unconscious, so it's not easy to fight."

  Li Baolu thought for a while, then took off Changshun's coat, covered Gu Huaijin's eyes, and kicked Gu Huaijin's stomach, the person who was still asleep immediately woke up with a cry of pain.

   Gu Jingyun laughed, but he couldn't smile again when he looked down and saw the man on the ground ripping off the clothes on his face with those pampered hands.

   These hands are very white, slender and warm, with only shallow calluses on the knuckles, which are left by long-term use of the pen.

  Uncle's hands were like this before, but later, there were more and more calluses in the palms. In addition to bringing them down to the field to familiarize themselves with farming and mulberry, the tools, tables and chairs at home, and the uncle had to be repaired when the house was damaged.

When I was first exiled to Qiongzhou, my uncle didn't know how to do this either, so he could only take the money and ask someone to repair it, but after a long time, some small things were always bad, so he also asked someone to repair them. It's getting thicker and thicker, and now it's no longer obvious that it is the hand of a scholar.

   There is also my aunt, who not only has to cook for the family, but also cleans, washes clothes, and grows and dries vegetables...

  The smile on Gu Jingyun's face disappeared, and he stretched out his foot and stepped on his hand holding the clothes, and even because the hand was on his face, Gu Jingyun even stepped on his face.

  Li Baolu blinked and saw that Gu Huaijin was going to hug Gu Jingyun's leg with her other hand, and when her hand moved, a stone hit his wrist...

  Gu Huaijin only felt a pain in his wrist, and he lost consciousness in his entire hand.

   "Who are you, do you know who I am? The attack on the court official is woo woo..."

  Li Baolu took off Changshun's socks and shoved it in his mouth, and the noise stopped immediately.

  The soles of Gu Jingyun's feet ruthlessly crushed his white jade-like hands, crushing Gu Huaijin until he fainted in pain.

   Ten fingers connected to the heart, Gu Jingyun not only stepped on his hand, but also on his heart.

  Gu Jingyun withdrew his feet, looked at Gu Huaijin quietly for a while, then turned around and went out.

  Li Baolu put a foot on Gu Huaijin's waist, and then hurried to catch up with him. Seeing the patrolling yamen not far away, Li Baolu hurriedly dragged him and pretended to run as hastily as the teenagers on the road.

   Gu Jingyun vented his anger, went home with Li Baolu in a very happy mood, and taught her: "This kind of thing can never be repeated. We have to defeat each other mentally, and the physical torture is only temporary."

   "As long as you're happy anyway."

   "...Well, I'm very happy."

  The two prepared a sumptuous dinner like two little foxes and secretly had fun, but the Marquis of Zhongyong almost turned upside down.

   Lord Gu guarded his son's sobriety with a livid face, and the first sentence was, "Have you seen the person who attacked you?"

   asked again after his son shook his head, "Did you hear the sound?"

  Gu Huaijin continued to shake his head.

   "How many people are there on the other side?"

  Gu Huaijin continued to shake his head, "Father, the other party moved very quickly. I only felt a pain in my neck and I fainted. Later, they kicked me up again..."

   "Who have you offended recently?"

  Gu Huaijin shook his head blankly, "I have always been in harmony with my colleagues, but recently I have been thinking about going out, and I didn't offend anyone?"

Gu Houye looked at his hand and said thoughtfully: "There are at least two people on the other side, the one who kicked your waist is the other, the one who stepped on your hand is the other, the one who stepped on your hand hates you, you are Hanlin, the most important thing is one hand, if your hands are destroyed, your whole being will be destroyed.”

   Lord Gu said in an old manner: "Forget about the expatriation, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, I am afraid that you will die when you leave the capital."

   Gu Huaijin's expression changed, "Father, could it be the Qin family?"

Lord Gu shook his head, "Qin Xinfang is now in Qiongzhou, not to mention he wouldn't do such a thing, think about it carefully, who has offended someone recently, if you are young, you can attack and crush you. People must be no older than that.”

  Older people are used to hitting him in other ways, so there is no need to be so naive.

   And it is precisely because the other party is full of hatred and young Gu Houye that he is worried.

  Young people are always more impulsive. In the capital, he can guarantee Gu Huaijin's life. If he leaves the capital, the other party will be excited...

  Although Lord Gu doesn't like the second child, but that is also his son, he doesn't want him to die.

  The two children didn't know that a vent of their anger directly cut off Gu Huaijin's last chance to get ahead, and they were packing their bags and preparing to leave.

   Li An was quite regretful to keep them, "The township exam will not be until next autumn, you can wait until next summer to go south, why so hurry?"

   "My aunt is also going to give birth. This time I'm going back to my hometown to see my aunt and the new born child."

Gu Jingyun originally planned to stay outside for three years and return to his hometown after he passed the exam, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. Aunt Qin was pregnant, and Gu Jingyun was injured before and could not return immediately. Now that he has recovered from his injury, he has established a network of contacts. , the next stay in the capital is just to study and manage the relationship with the Prince's Mansion.

   But none of this is as important as seeing aunts and newborns.

   That's why Gu Jingyun had to go home. Of course, before that, he and Li An asked for two carrier pigeons, indicating that they could keep in touch.

   Knowing that Gu Jingyun was going back to his hometown, Shi Wei and Zheng Xu also came to say goodbye.

   They have all met Taisun, but they didn't expect Gu Jingyun to know Taisun too.

Li An nodded slightly to the two of them, took out a box from his subordinates and handed it to Gu Jingyun, saying: "This is the deed of the yard where you live. If there is a place to stay in Beijing in the future, I will send someone to give you the flowers and plants in the yard. Take care of."

   Gu Jingyun felt a little warm in his heart, nodded to Li An and smiled, "Thank you!"

   Gu Jingyun looked at Shi Wei and Zheng Xu again, clasped his fists and smiled: "Brother Shi and Big Brother Zheng don't need to send them any more, we will have a plan in the future."

   "There will be a period later." Zheng Xu and Shi Wei winked at him, and whispered, "Brother Gu, you really don't show your face."

  Gu Jingyun knew that they were talking about knowing Li An, he just smiled and did not explain.

  Li An not only gave them a house, but also a carriage. If Li Baolu hadn't insisted, he would have given them a coachman and some guards.

  Gu Jingyun stepped on the small stool and got into the car, while Li Baolu sat on the carriage and waved at the crowd before flicking the reins and leaving.

   It’s not that they didn’t come back, they came back after a year.

   Compared with the dreaded road to Beijing, they will be much happier this time they head south.

  Although the young couple hurried home and sometimes had to sleep in the wild, they were very particular about their food, and there were no outsiders, so they didn’t have to hide. Many of Li Baolu’s skills came into play.

When sleeping in the wild, she can not only hunt, but also find wild vegetables with high nutritional value. When passing by the village, she can also buy some vegetables, fruits and meat with the villagers. After the 20-day trip, Gu Jingyun not only did not lose weight, but also gained a little weight. .

   makes Li Baolu very happy.

  Gu Jingyun is counting the time of Aunt Qin's delivery with his fingers, "If it is full-term delivery, we may catch up, you are faster."

   "You can enter Guangzhou in the evening, but you may not be able to find a boat to enter Qiongzhou."

   Gu Jingyun felt a little urgency in his heart. He didn't know whether he sensed something happened or was just eager to return home. He just wanted to get home quickly.

   thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the treasurer of the Bora, he must have a solution."
