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

   Zhao Ning was sitting on the main seat in the main room with a sullen face. When he saw the two of them coming back, he just got up and forced a smile and said, "You are back."

  Li Baolu noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere. She blinked and was about to ask when Gu Jingyun said, "I'm hungry."

  Li Baolu immediately threw Zhao Ning, who was full of sadness and melancholy, aside, stuffed the things into Gu Jingyun's arms and hurried to the kitchen, "I'll go make you dinner."

When I got to the kitchen, I realized that there was no need to cook at all. The cook was looking at the hearty dishes on the stove with a sad face. She saw Li Baolu busy to please her, "Mrs. Gu, you came just in time, come and see so many dishes. What should I do, this weather can't stay overnight."

  Li Baolu was surprised, "Why are there so many meals?"

   "Oh, my son asked me to prepare lunch, afternoon tea and dinner yesterday. Who knows that those guests don't have dinner here at all, and they left shortly after the afternoon tea."

   Generally speaking, one hour after afternoon tea is dinner time.

There is only one cook in the kitchen, so naturally she has to start preparing early, so she has already cooked several large dishes on the stove when the guests are having afternoon tea. Too late to stop.

  Fortunately, the other side dishes have not yet been made. Those vegetables and meat can be hung into the well to keep fresh, but these ingredients have been processed or have been put on the stove, but there is no way.

   In such a hot weather, if you can't finish it tonight, it will be a waste.

  The cook was born in poverty. Seeing that these meals are going to be wasted, I feel so distressed that I almost bleed.

  Li Baolu was very happy, "Brother Jingyun and I have been hungry for a day. They won't eat us, so quickly bring the things out."

   asked again, "Has your son eaten?"

   "No," the cook pouted and complained, "As soon as those people left, the young master sat in the main room without saying a word, but they were very anxious."

   "When you eat something delicious, you will feel better."

Li Baolu and the cook brought things into the hall together. Zhao Ning was in a better mood. He was watching Gu Jingyun's painting with great interest, and finally looked at the Qiongzhou sunrise picture with bright eyes, "Brother Gu, this painting of yours. How much are you going to sell?"

   "One hundred thousand taels!" Li Baolu brought in the dish and said with a smile, "If you can afford it, I'll sell it to you."

   Zhao Ning almost vomited blood, "If you want to sell me, tell me clearly."

   "You're right, I want to keep this painting for myself, but if someone can afford it, I will sell it."

   "Even famous ancient paintings are not worth the money."

   "Yes, but in my heart it is a priceless treasure." Li Baolu set the table and chopsticks and waved to the two of them, "Come and have dinner."

   Zhao Ning is really attentive in entertaining guests. Although there are only a few big dishes and small dishes made by the cook, they are still very rich.

   Li Baolu is a carnivore, and she only aimed at the meat. Gu Jingyun kept serving her vegetarian dishes. Li Baolu would not refuse anyone who came and ate them all.

   Zhao Ning felt that his appetite had improved a lot, so he barely ate a bowl of rice.

   Gu Jingyun ate one bowl. Well, Li Baolu was stronger than them. She ate two bowls because she was growing.

   Zhao Ning felt that she didn't eat for long, she was just wasting food.

  Li Baolu couldn't be bothered. When she finished eating and drinking water to digest her food, she happily asked him, "Come on, what happened today that made you angry and sad, let me have a good time talking about it."

   Zhao Ning was stunned, obviously not expecting Li Baolu to be so ruthless, and looked at Gu Jingyun blankly and said, "What kind of hatred do I have with my brother and sister?"

   "Yes," Gu Jingyun said with a serious face: "You just disliked her for eating too much."

   Zhao Ning choked and defended himself: "I'm complimenting my brother and sister for their good appetite."

   Gu Jingyun glanced at him and said, "You better tell her your sadness and let her have a good time."

Seeing that the young couple agreed to the outside world, Zhao Ning couldn't help vomiting blood, and said angrily: "They asked me if I had a good teacher to teach me during this time, I will tell the truth, but because Brother Gu has said it before, don't publicize this matter before Qiu Wei. Going out, so I declined their request to meet a good teacher, and they turned their face immediately."

   Zhao Ning knew why Gu Jingyun wanted to hide it, there were too many people participating in the autumn festival.

  If they knew that Gu Jingyun had this ability, and if they didn’t say that they would harm him, at least they would entangle him and ask for advice. It would definitely take up a lot of Gu Jingyun’s time and energy. How could he study and prepare for the exam?

   How many students have been slandered or killed in the autumn battle in previous years?

   These ordinary students have no one to calculate, but Gu Jingyun and other top students are different. Are there still few examples of accidentally losing everything?

Zhao Ning turned his head to Gu Jingyun and said, "It's also my fault that I didn't restrain myself during this period of time, so people can detect my whereabouts. If they have the heart, it will not be difficult for them to guess that you are teaching me, so you must be sure before entering the examination room. be careful."

   The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth turned slightly, "Thank you Brother Zhao for reminding me, I will be careful."

   Zhao Ning guiltily left and went back to the house. He had a falling out with some of his best students today, and he was in a really bad mood, so he did not participate in the debate tonight.

   There was only the couple left in the yard.

  Li Baolu relaxed and sat cross-legged on the chair, stared at Gu Jingyun and asked, "You did it on purpose, you didn't remind Zhao Ning on purpose. Why is this?"

   "There are still five days until the autumn season, nine days for the exam, and the results will be released in three days, for a total of seventeen days. The transmission of information has always been slow. We have to give others some time to react, otherwise it will be too boring."

  Gu Jingyun's goal is not the students in Guangzhou, but those who can compete with him for the top spot.

   For example, Xu Jiuyan and Qi Lekang, who have long been famous.

  Since he has heard their reputation, how can he fall behind?

   Opponents need to know each other to be interesting.

   used to be a last resort, and had to keep a low profile in order to avoid the Gu family, but what is there to fear now?

  Gu Jingyun straightened his back arrogantly, his eyes shone brightly, and looked at Li Baolu like a star.

  Li Baolu couldn't help sitting up straight, nodded and said, "Okay, the boy boldly walks forward, with me behind you to support you."

  Gu Jingyun couldn't help but tap her nose.

   But Li Baolu was obviously not joking. When she had breakfast the next day, she knocked down the chopsticks in the hands of Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning, and looked at the mustard bean curd on the table in silence.

   "What's the matter?" Zhao Ning picked up the chopsticks that had fallen on the table and followed Li Baolu's gaze to the food on the table.

  Li Baolu picked up a grain of tempeh and bit it lightly. The taste was indeed very similar to soybeans, but not soybeans.

   "It's mixed with croton."

   Zhao Ning looked at her with a mysterious face, and said incredulously: "Isn't croton more expensive than soybean, who is so stupid to use croton to disguise as soybean to make tempeh?"

  Li Baolu looked at him quietly.

  "..." Zhao Ning said tremblingly, "So you mean someone gave me medicine at my house?"

   "Call the cook to ask," Li Baolu said shyly, looking aside, "Go and call the cook."

  I hurriedly went to the kitchen, the cook was having breakfast, and there was fermented fermented mustard on the table.

  Shun Xin's face sank, and after calling her up, he also brought the plate of side dishes.

  Li Baolu checked the tempeh in the plate and nodded, "There are also crotons in it."

   She looked at the dumbfounded cook and asked, "Did you make these tempeh yourself, or did you buy it?"

The cook was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down with a "thump", and said anxiously: "It wasn't made by the old woman, I bought it when I went to the market this morning. Eat, when I went out to buy vegetables this morning, I saw someone selling side dishes, so I went up to choose some, in addition to tempeh, mustard and sauerkraut were all bought there. I bought more, I, I didn't know that croton was mixed in it, and croton was much more expensive than soybean, I only heard that tempeh was mixed with small stones, who would mix croton?"

  The cook was trembling. She was hired by Zhao Ning in Guangzhou and had been working here for a year.

Zhao Ning is a very good employer. She never beats or scolds her. The wages are high and the food is generous. Except for the kitchen, she doesn't have to worry about other work. She wants to work for a long time. , how could it harm the master?

   Zhao Ning also didn't believe that the cook would harm him, and said hurriedly: "She has been with me for a year, and she won't deliberately poison me, maybe it's an accident."

"It's not for you, it's for you, it's for me, and it's for Brother Jingyun," Li Baolu said with a sullen face, "and tempeh is not expensive, and Shunxin and the cook will eat it, and then the whole house will have diarrhea. , what would you think?"

   "Yes, is it a matter of season?" Zhao Ning said with some uncertainty.

   "Yes, so you will go to see the doctor, but you will not suspect that you are eating the wrong thing because everyone has diarrhea."

  Li Baolu's face was ugly. Guangzhou was hot and humid. Diarrhea is normal in this weather. If it's not serious, just take two medicines.

   But if it has been bad, they will definitely suspect that they have dysentery.

   Dysentery is a life-threatening medicine.

   Since the other party can sell the side dishes with croton into Zhao's house, they can naturally let the doctor they see come to a diagnosis that is beneficial to them.

   "There are still five days before the examination room." Li Baolu said.

   As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ning, Shunxin and the cook all changed their expressions, only Gu Jingyun still looked as usual.

   Zhao Ning murmured: "Who, who wants to harm me like this, no, it's harming us."

   Zhao Ning is not stupid, he understood after a little thought, "They know that Brother Gu is teaching me..."

   He clenched his fists, "They, how can they be so despicable?" Zhao Ning got up "hoo" and said, "Let's report to the officials."

   "Do you have any evidence?" Gu Jingyun didn't stop him, but just asked: "Can you find the guy who sells side dishes today? Can you find the bean curd in question after finding him?"

  Zhao Ning's face was ashen, and his mouth was tightly pursed.

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "You don't have to worry. After the autumn season is over, there are still five days left before the autumn season. We can always find someone. It doesn't matter whether we can get the evidence or not, as long as we know who did it."
