As soon as Li Baolu set foot on the land of Guangzhou, she took a deep breath and carried her luggage into their carriage.

  Gu Jingyun said goodbye to the treasurer He of the Bora.

  He said regretfully, "You really don't want to go to the other courtyard of the He family. It's very close to the Gongyuan, and all the students who live in the area are students rushing to take the exam. It's very convenient for Mr. Gu to exchange homework and go to the exam."

   Gu Jingyun politely declined, "I made an appointment with the same department when I came to the hospital for the exam last year, so it's really not good to disturb Manager He again."

   Shopkeeper He could only watch them leave with regret.

  Hejia is the largest firm in Qiongzhou, but it cannot be ranked in Guangzhou and barely ranks in the top ten.

  Gu Jingyun is a young talent. If he can go further with him, there is only good and no harm with the He family.

   His eyes swept over Li Baolu, who was stroking the horse's neck intimately, Gu Jingyun walked to her side, whispered to her twice, and was helped by her on the carriage.

   Two people standing together are not like husband and wife, but like master and servant.

But Shopkeeper He didn't dare to underestimate Li Baolu. Last year, she dared to come alone with him to finalize Gu Jingyun's itinerary, and when watching Gu Jingyun talking to her, she always unconsciously brought two points of tenderness in her eyes. At this time, Gu Jingyun was even more direct Sitting in the cab and waiting for her.

  The chariot has always been the seat of the servants. Who would be so condescending and condescending to a talented scholar?

   But whether it was last year or now, all he saw was two people sitting side by side on the carriage.

   I just don't know if this young Mrs. Gu can always occupy Gu Jingyun.

Shopkeeper He watched the carriage of the two disappear into the crowd and then looked back. The second steward kept waiting. Seeing Shopkeeper He recovering, he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "The shopkeeper, there are quite a few young ladies of the right age in the manor, Ruo Gu It is not a loss for the young lady to marry into the Gu family if you are successful in the exam.”

   Said to be married, but in fact it was to be a concubine for Gu Jingyun.

   But the He family is a merchant, so there is nothing wrong with sending a girl from the family as a concubine.

   "Young Master Gu is too young. He is deeply in love with Mrs. Gu and his wife. I'm afraid it will backfire." Shopkeeper He said lightly: "Wait a little longer, as long as we keep communicating with Young Master Gu, opportunities will always exist."

   He paused and said: "The business with Qiongzhou Bufang is more careful. Although Mr. Gu didn't say it clearly, this business should be all his. Zhang Yiyan is just managing it on his behalf."

   No wonder Shopkeeper He looked down on Zhang Yiyan, Zhang Yiyan was not only a criminal, he was not qualified enough, he was like a newborn baby in front of Shopkeeper He.

Gu Jingyun, who was missed, went straight to the inn where they stayed last time. Before entering the door, a young man in a white shirt trotted out and saw Gu Jingyun laughing, "Brother Gu, I knew it when I saw it from a distance upstairs. It's you, I didn't read it wrong, you don't know how hard I waited for you, and you thought you were going to take the exam..."

  Gu Jingyun jumped out of the carriage, shook hands and smiled, "Brother Zhao."

   Zhao Ning grabbed his hand and said with a big smile, "Why are you being polite with me? Come and follow me home."

The shopkeeper of the inn hurriedly came out to stop him and said, "Young Master Zhao, please don't fight with the little old man, Master Gu, your guest room has been prepared for you, it is still the one you stayed in before, don't worry, It's clean and fresh. Your consumption in this store is free, just ask you to stay here until the end of autumn."

   Zhao Ning was displeased and said, "I'm Brother Gu and I'm in the same department. It's only right and proper for me to take him to live with me. How can I grab business with you?"

   Zhao Ning rented a yard to live in Guangzhou after he was admitted as a scholar last year. He read and waited for Qiu Wei. His yard was quite big, so he invited Gu Jingyun to live there.

The innkeeper is naturally reluctant to give up Gu Jingyun's live advertisement. After Gu Jingyun left last year, many students came to live in his inn, and this year, there was a local tyrant who rented the house where Gu Jingyun once lived at the rent of twelve days. In the room, if Gu Jingyun achieves good results in his inn again this year, the innkeeper will be able to see the money flying straight towards him.

   So even if he offends the student Zhao Ning, he will **** Gu Jingyun over.

  Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth, turned his head and asked Baolu, "Where do you want to live?"

  The two people who were robbing people realized that there was an important person like Li Baolu, and they all looked over.

  The two were about to confess again when they heard Li Baolu say, "Let's live with Mr. Zhao, don't you love tranquility?"

   Zhao Ning was overjoyed.

   The innkeeper was so disappointed that he was about to cry.

  Li Baolu couldn't bear it, so she turned her head and asked Zhao Ning, "Master Zhao, didn't you rent a yard, why are you still in the inn?"

   "The students who were admitted to the same subject as us last year still live in this inn. I like to bring books to read with you on weekdays. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can ask for advice."

   "This method is good," Li Baolu nodded, turned to Gu Jingyun and said, "You can come with Mr. Zhao in the future."

The innkeeper was refreshed when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Then I will make a room for Mr. Gu to take a lunch break. If there are friends at that time, there will be a place to stay. Don't worry, I don't need a penny, as long as Mr. Gu is free. Just come to the inn and show your face."

  Li Baolu twitched the corners of her mouth. Her original intention was to reserve a table for Gu Jingyun so that she would not have to wait in line.

   Anyway, it is impossible for Gu Jingyun to read alone at home all the time, and he will definitely follow Zhao Ning to the inn.

  However, the innkeeper was so eloquent, Li Baolu happily agreed, after all, it was her family Jingyun who was convenient, and she was the one who took advantage.

   Zhao Ning saw that they had agreed, the inn door did not let them in, and immediately took them to the yard he rented.

The yard he rented was not far from the inn, and it only took about half an hour to take a shortcut to the inn, but the yard was deep in the alley, very quiet, and in broad daylight, only the voices of people from the other side of the road could be faintly heard. Instead, the chirping of birds on the trees by the roadside was louder and clearer.

Zhao Ning knocked on the door, and his book boy immediately came to open the door. Seeing that the master brought back Gu Gongzi, whom they had been waiting for, he happily called out "Gu Gongzi, Miss Li", and immediately removed the threshold quickly. Now, let Li Baolu drive the carriage in.

   This is a small courtyard with two entrances. The first entrance has three main rooms. The middle room is used as the main room to entertain guests. Zhao Ning himself lives in the east room of Xiangyang, and the west room is temporarily vacant.

  There is a well in the first yard, and two wing rooms are built along the wall in the east, one is used to store sundries, and the other is used as a kitchen.

The west side was converted into a horse shed. At this time, a mule was **** inside. The mule lowered his head and took a breath when he saw the horse being led by Li Baolu. .

   Zhao Ning took them to the second entry. Compared with the first entry, the second entry was much brighter.

The second entrance is the three main rooms. The west one is packed out as a guest room, where Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu live. The east side is used as a study. The best part is that the east side has a large door. The window, pushed open and looked out, just happened to see a mountain ridge, full of lush trees, and it looked very alive.

   In the east of the yard, a peach tree was planted, and at this time, there was a lot of fruit hanging on it, and there was a clump of ordinary shelves in the west, with many pale green grapes hanging from it.

  Gu Jingyun saw these two kinds of fruits in the courtyard, and turned his eyes to Li Baolu, and sure enough, she saw her eyes lit up, staring at the two fruit trees without moving.

   He was rather helpless, turned to Zhao Ning and said, "The backyard is nice, no wonder you rent here."

   "It took me a long time to find it. The best thing is that our neighbor is a police officer who works in the government office. Robbers and thieves will stay away from here, and it is safe to go in and out at night."

   He wasn't afraid even if it wasn't safe, Gu Jingyun glanced at his wife and thanked him with a smile.

  Li Baolu carried their luggage into the house. This time they brought a lot of books with them, as well as a lot of Gu Jingyun's notes, which was one of the reasons why she chose to live here with Zhao Ning.

   There are too many things, and the inn looks cramped.

   Of course, the main reason is that Gu Jingyun likes to be quiet.

   Gu Jingyun, who likes quietness, leaned comfortably by the window of the study and looked at the distant mountains, and Zhao Ning's exclamation kept ringing in his ears.

"Brother Gu, where did you get this "Qin's Notes"? It is said that it was written by Qin Daru for Jinxiu's students when Jinxiu first established the school more than 30 years ago. It contains not only the lecture notes of the Four Books and Five Classics, but also Some historical material annotations are one of the best reference answers for the imperial examinations over the years. It’s just that there were too few prints in those years, and they only circulated in Jinxiu, so it’s hard to find a copy outside.”

   Gu Jingyun glanced at it and said, "It was left by our ancestors. Brother Zhao can transcribe a copy if he likes it."

   Zhao Ning was moved to tears, "Brother Gu, are you willing to lend me not only to read, but also to copy it for me?"

  Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded.

   This is his grandfather's book, and there should be many left in the Qin family's ancestral home.

Zhao Ning cherished the book aside, picked up a copy of "University" and looked at it. Seeing that it was densely packed with annotations, he blinked and took a look, and found that each line was full of translations in plain text, while the side was full of comments. He immediately felt dry mouth and nervously held the book in his hand and asked cautiously, "Gu, Brother Gu, can I take a look at this "University"?"

   Gu Jingyun was so noisy that he couldn't see the scenery, turned around and glanced at the book in his hand, frowned, and nodded, although he was a little reluctant.

Naturally, Zhao Ning also noticed Gu Jingyun's reluctance, but for the sake of the imperial examination, he had the cheek to ignore it, and hurriedly turned to the article he had been puzzled about, and waited for him to read through the small print translations and read the annotations again. He only felt that he was suddenly relieved, not only that, but he also figured out the related questions clearly.

   Looking at Gu Jingyun, who was as cold as ice, Zhao Ning sighed, "There is no need to talk to you, just reading your manuscript is better than reading ten years of books."

   Zhao Ning stood up and saluted Gu Jingyun solemnly, "Thank you Brother Gu for your teaching."

   Gu Jingyun's expression became strange and said, "This book is not mine, and the annotations on it are not made by me."

   "What?" Zhao Ning was stunned, maintaining his Zuoyi posture.

   Li Baolu, who had been sorting books silently in the back, coughed lightly, raised her hand and said, "This book is mine, and the notes I made are on it."

Gu Jingyun seemed to be very happy, but said to Zhao Ning with a look of disgust: "Brother Zhao laughed, she always did not understand the ancient meaning of reading when she was young, so she could only write down the translation sentence by sentence. It's all written on one side, it's so messy, it's really dirty pages."

   "No," Zhao Ning said dully: "Brother and sister wrote too well..."
