Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

  Li Baolu happened to see Wan Zhihe playing when she arrived at the piano competition venue. There were mostly girls and only a few boys in this competition.

   Qin Wenyin and a gentleman were sitting on the stage to comment. After a contestant played a song, they assessed the score on the spot.

   In the end, just add the scores and arrange them.

   The next yard is the venue for the calligraphy competition. When Li Baolu walked over, he saw Gu Jingyun standing behind the table with frowning eyebrows and evaluating the accepted entries.

   She couldn't help but stop, pursed her lips and looked at him happily.

   Gu Jingyun saw her as soon as he looked up, nodded slightly to her, and calmly accelerated his movements.

   All competitions are given on the spot, and the same is true for the calligraphy competition. Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang, who were specially invited to be calligraphy judges, just drew a copybook, and Gu Jingyun over there has already drawn two in a row.

   The two of them couldn't help but froze for a moment, then looked up at Gu Jingyun.

  Gu Jingyun was drooping his brows and making a serious assessment, he clicked two red letters on the big piece of paper that he just opened, then drew a circle, and put the piece of paper aside for Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang to review.

   This is for one person to two people. The two twitched the corners of their mouths and asked, "Brother Gu is in a hurry?"

   "It's almost time for lunch."

   The two of them don't have to look up, they can roughly know the current time just by feeling the sun. Hearing that, their foreheads jumped and said, "Brother Gu eats so early?"

  Gu Jingyun was silent, and handed them the revised papers, "If you are free another day, please invite Brother Xu and Brother Qi to the Zhuangyuan Building."

   It seems that they are really in a hurry. Although the three of them are on the same list, they rarely do activities together due to their different identities.

  Gu Jingyun was a fourth-grade lecturer when he was appointed an official, while Xu Jiuyan was a seventh-grade editor, and Qi Lekang took the Shuji Shi exam and entered the Hanlin to study. This year, he was exceptionally promoted to a seventh-grade editor.

  Gu Jingyun is three levels above them, and he has no intention of being in power, so he rarely appears in the Hanlin Academy, let alone invite them to dinner, and he rarely attends meetings with his officials.

  Because the restaurant and teahouse where everyone was gathering had special services, it would be good for Gu Jingyun to attend once out of ten times, and he would definitely leave early on that occasion.

   So the three of them have never eaten alone.

  Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang looked at each other, and both quickened their movements, as if they were selling Gu Jingyun's face.

   Waiting for the results to be counted, Xu Jiuyan slowly let out a breath, raised his head and rubbed his neck when he saw Li Baolu mixed in the crowd.

   Her round face made her look a little pretty. She was smiling and looking at the stage with affection. The most important thing was that she was not wearing the school uniform of Qingxi Academy, and she was wearing a woman's bun.

  Xu Jiuyan followed her gaze and saw Gu Jingyun who was standing not far away announcing the results. She couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, reaching out and poking at Qi Lekang: "It turns out that the beautiful woman has an appointment, no wonder it's so urgent."

  Qi Lekang followed his gaze, his face turned slightly red, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Brother Xu, it's better to see no evil."

  Xu Jiuyan then remembered that Qi Lekang hadn't married yet. He glanced at Qi Lekang up and down, lowered his voice and chuckled: "Brother Qi is too shy."

   Qi Lekang did not speak with a sullen face, but his ears were all red.

"It's no wonder that although Brother Gu got married a long time ago, the wedding was held recently. It should be the consummation. The newlyweds are Yan Er." Xu Jiuyan glanced back and forth between Li Baolu and Gu Jingyun, and sighed softly: "I used to think that he could It was a fluke to get the top spot in the exam, but I have been in the Hanlin Academy for all these years, and I really sighed at him, I just thought that he had come through hardships, but now it seems that he is very lucky."

   "Not everyone in the world can get this virtuous wife," Xu Jiuyan's voice was barely audible, "Only the reopening of the women's school shows her mind and wisdom."

   Qi Lekang put away the things silently, turned around and handed them to Gu Jingyun.

   They were invited by the academy to be judges. Naturally, these things were handed over to Gu Jingyun, and their own janitors came to hand over to Gu Jingyun and took them back for statistical sealing.

  The results came out and the invigilators in the morning were over. Gu Jingyun said goodbye to the two of them, "How about inviting the two of you later when you have free time?"

   Qi Lekang and Xu Jiuyan responded with a smile and watched Gu Jingyun walk towards Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu gave him a big smile, walked up to him modestly and asked, "Are you tired?"

  Gu Jingyun shook his head slightly, "I was a calligraphy judge in the morning, how could I be tired?"

  The two walked out side by side, and the students next to them had long since noticed it, but Qi Lekang and Xu Jiuyan admired their boldness, even if they were husband and wife, they shouldn't walk so close in public.

  Xu Jiuyan more truly felt the tolerance of Qingxi Academy and the benefits of reopening women's schools.

   Qi Lekang is even more serious. He is from Shandong, which is a major province for imperial examinations. There are more girls studying there, and the rules for girls are stricter. Similarly, there are also more girls who express "rebellious" thoughts than other places.

   No matter how rebellious the girls are, neither a married woman nor a girl dares to walk side by side with a man so close, even if that man is his own husband or father.

   "Up and down, within ten years, folk women should be less bound."

  Xu Jiuyan nodded slightly, but his eyes were a little lost, and his face couldn't help but be a little heavy.

   "Isn't the two people from the academy just now? I've never met them." Li Baolu asked curiously.

Gu Jingyun nodded, "One is Qi Lekang and the other is Xu Jiuyan. They are both jinshis in the same class as me. Xu Jiuyan's husband, Mrs. Yan, has a good relationship with Su Shanchang, and his words are also very good, so the academy asked him to be the judge, and Qi Lekang was the judge. ,"

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "He is most famous for his face and body. In ten years, I am afraid that he will become a family of his own. Among the three of us, he is the one with the best calligraphy skills."

  Gu Jingyun reached out and hooked her fingers, Li Baolu immediately retracted her hand, crossed her hands in front of her abdomen, and glared at him secretly.

   She is wearing a narrow-sleeved beard dress today, without wide sleeves to cover it, and she will be discovered as soon as you hold hands, she doesn't want people to watch.

   The two of them just happened to walk to the front of Chunhui Court, and there was a loud exclamation inside. Li Baolu couldn't help but stop, "How many games are there in Chunhui Court today?"

   "There seem to be only three in the morning, do you want to go in and have a look?"

   "Go in and have a look."

  Chunhui courtyard is all about very quiet competitions, one is embroidery, the other is chess, and the other is painting.

  Li Baolu was very curious why there was such a loud exclamation in such a quiet competition.

  Gu Jingyun followed her in, and just after turning the corner, the two of them were flickered by the scene in the yard, and they were a little stunned for a while.

  I saw six rows of benches lined up on the lawn in front, and a contestant was sitting on each bench. They were holding the embroidery shed in their forehands, and the flying needles were facing the pot of begonia flower embroidery in front of them.

   What made the two of them feel flashy was that the four people sitting in the middle of the first row were boys, and they should not be too conspicuous among a group of girls.

  Li Baolu looked at them in amazement, and saw that their movements were not slow at all. The one holding the embroidery shed brush brushed them down, and the thread quickly formed on the embroidery shed.

  Li Baolu slightly stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look at it, her eyes could not help flashing surprise, although the flower had not yet been embroidered, but it had a form, and it looked much better than her embroidery.

  Gu Jingyun also commented: "It looks better than you."

  Li Baolu twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her head to look at the painting competition field behind the Moon Gate. There were only contestants and judges there. All the students onlookers came here, obviously attracted by them.

   Li Baolu said softly: "No matter what, their courage is commendable, which is something to be admired."

  Gu Jingyun nodded, "But I'm curious why they learn this, do they still do embroidery at home?"

   "Maybe it's interest?" Li Baolu glanced at him and said, "Aren't people allowed to be interested?"

"May!"

  The two of them stood by and watched the game. The students onlookers were all too excited. In addition, the two were about the same age as them, so no one found out their identities for a while, only thinking that they were the same students as them.

   There were too many students, both boys and girls.

  Because in this era, although there are few girls learning to ride and shoot, there are some, which is not too unusual. But it is too rare for boys to embroider.

  Especially the boys from Qingxi Academy, they are going to the imperial examinations. Which officials have ever seen embroidery with embroidery needles?

   Just thinking about them gives me chills!

   Among the students who were watching, most of the boys were contemptuous, a few were silent, and only a very few were secretly cheering them on.

   On the contrary, among the girls, most of them are cheering them on, some are waiting and watching curiously, and their attitudes are between the two.

   But the four people in the field seemed to be unaffected, and they were walking with their heads down and flying needles earnestly. Now that they had ended, they naturally made psychological preparations in advance.

  Although I didn’t expect so many people to come to watch the game.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at the noisy onlookers, frowned slightly, and pulled Baolu forward to find Mr. Cheng who was the referee and Mr. Liu who was the supervisor.

   "Two gentlemen, are students allowed to make such noise on the playing field?"

   The two gentlemen looked at each other, then returned the salute to Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu: "Please also ask Mr. Gu and Mr. Li for help."

  Gu Jingyun only frowned slightly and nodded in response, turned to look at the students who were looking around, raised his voice slightly and said, "Quiet!"

   But no one listened to him.

   It should be said that few people heard him speak in the noise.

   Gu Jingyun frowned and looked at Li Baolu.

  Li Baolu's face sank, she glanced at the audience coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Quiet!"

The sound of    rang loudly in the ears of everyone, and everyone was stunned for a moment.

Li Baolu glanced at them displeased, crushed them with power, and said solemnly: "Where have you learned your etiquette? Embroidery, painting and chess all focus on tranquility. The academy did not make specific requirements, so don't you Do you know to respect the contestants, respect the gentleman, respect the game?"
