Gu Huaijin's complexion was ashen. Abandoning his wife in times of crisis was the biggest stain in his life, and it was also the place where he was most criticized in Shilin and the officialdom. asked to his face.

  Gu Huaijin got angry, but when he looked up, he saw Li Baolu's ignorant and curious face, as if he didn't know how vicious and sharp her question was.

   He could only reprimand her with a straight face, "Take the time to read more women's precepts, be careful with words and deeds, and avoid talking too much."

   Li Baolu's face was blank, "I've read about the female ring, don't you talk about the right and wrong of your in-laws and aunts? It turns out that the rules of the capital are so strict that you can't ask things you don't understand?"

   Zhao Ning made up for the knife on the side, "Isn't that woman going to cut her tongue so she can't speak?"

   Li Baolu looked at Gu Huaijin eagerly, waiting for him to clear up his confusion.

   Gu Jingyun slapped his face. This was different from the people he had met in the past. Wei Cong didn't give him face, but he was only mocking him. How could he discuss such a mentally handicapped problem with him?

   Anyone with a little IQ should be able to understand that he told her not to ask what she shouldn't ask, and not to ask what she shouldn't ask. Is this daughter-in-law pretending to be stupid, or is she really stupid?

   Li Baolu completely treated herself as a fool at this time, and treated Gu Huaijin respectfully, but she was very retarded in terms of IQ, and asked questions that should not be asked.

For example, "My daughter-in-law heard from my husband that he has a younger brother, who came from his stepmother, but the boy we saw yesterday? The family really knows how to raise children. He looks not only older than her husband, but also much stronger than her husband. Uncles and aunts and It can be said that my mother-in-law worked very hard to raise the doctor, but my husband’s health is always bad, and I don’t know what secrets the government has in raising children.

   There is no secret, Gu Lekang was born at full term, Gu Jingyun was born prematurely, and Gu Jingyun lost from the beginning.

   But can Gu Huaijin say this?

   Obviously not.

So Gu Huaijin said: "The children are all brought by the nursing mother, but the food is finer. When you move to the house, tell the kitchen what you want to eat, and let them cook it for you. ."

"But I heard that the big kitchen in the gate of the mansion is very busy, and the husband also has grandparents, two uncles and parents, older brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters, and the husband must be embarrassed to argue with them. When it’s our turn, the big kitchen is too determined and powerless. Father-in-law, for the sake of your husband’s body, why don’t you build a small kitchen for us. When the time comes, we will hire a cook who is good at medicated meals. Maybe you can really take care of your husband’s body. ."

  Gu Huaijin was stunned, wasn't he angry with her, why did she open her mouth to ask him for a favor?

   "There is a small kitchen in each room, but I make some snacks and soups, and I seldom cook meals. It is not impossible for you to cook your own meals when you are in the house. Let your mother arrange it for you."

   Li Baolu looked worried, "But that's the stepmother, will she treat us sincerely?"

  Gu Huaijin caught a breath in his throat and couldn't help but patted the table, "Miss Li, your stepmother is dignified and loving, how can you slander her without any basis?"

"No, no," Li Baolu waved her hands in a panic, "My father-in-law misunderstood, I didn't slander my step-mother, I was just worried, didn't the people say that step-mothers don't treat step-sons sincerely? After all, she still has a biological son, even Uncles don't have a small kitchen, would she be willing to prepare a small kitchen for her husband?"

   "She will," Gu Huaijin interrupted her gruffly and said, "You don't have to be a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Gu Huaijin couldn't care less about maintaining a gentleman's style. He wanted to leave, but thinking of his mother's face before he came, he suppressed it and said solemnly: "Okay, let's go pack up, Jingyun is our Gu family's. Bloodline, we will not wrong you."

   "Father, wait, wait until the husband comes back, he has to make up his mind about the family."

  Gu Huaijin couldn't help but said maliciously, "Didn't your parents teach you to be filial to your parents-in-law and listen to your elders?"

  Li Baolu shook her head confidently, "My daughter-in-law's parents died in a shipwreck before I knew it. I was raised as a child bride-in-law of my husband. My aunt and mother-in-law taught me from a young age to listen to my husband, as long as I listened to my husband."

"..." Gu Huaijin was stunned. He had wondered why his son got married so early. He thought about various reasons, among which was "Gu Jingyun's health is not good, and he needs to marry a wife early to inherit the blood, so that the blood of the Qin family will not be cut off. "Such a reason.

   But he never thought that his son would simply marry a child bride.

   Looking at the stupid Li Baolu, Gu Huaijin's five-point suspicion went to three points. Maybe this child is not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.

  The Qin family took great pains to prevent them from interfering in Gu Jingyun's marriage, and even gave Gu Jingyun a child bride.

  Gu Huaijin looked at Li Baolu and was speechless. In the future, this daughter-in-law will only listen to what Jingyun and Qin's family have to say, and they won't even have any space to fight for.

  Gu Huaijin glanced at the sky outside. At this time, Gu Jingyun hadn't come back, and he didn't know why the emperor wanted to see him, just because he was Qin Xinfang's nephew?

  Gu Huaijin had a complicated heart. He was born in Tanhua, but except for the first year when he was able to meet the emperor while walking in front of the imperial palace, it was very difficult to see the emperor after that.

   When he came to the Qin family, he was in trouble. He didn't even want to attend the annual palace banquet. He was only a fifth-rank Hanlin, and he didn't even have the qualifications to go to court.

  Gu Huaijin almost forgot what the emperor looked like.

   But Gu Jingyun was able to enter the palace to meet the emperor the first time he entered Beijing.

   is that the Fugu family can't touch his light, but if it is a disaster, the first person to be implicated by him is the Gu family.

   Even though Gu Jingyun is not on the Gu family's genealogy, legally speaking, he is also the son of his Gu Huaijin and the blood of the Gu family.

  If the Qin family commits a crime, he can divorce his wife to seek refuge, but can he also take refuge by severing the relationship when his son commits a crime?

   Obviously this is not possible.

   Gu Huaijin lost the mood to continue dealing with Li Baolu. Gu Jingyun's existence in the Gu family is a poison that can strike at any time. It is obvious that they are hostile, but no matter what he does, he will bring the shadow of the Gu family.

  Gu Huaijin got up and said with an ugly face: "In that case, when Jingyun comes back, you can discuss with him, and I will pick you up tomorrow."

  Li Baolu blinked, why did she leave?

   She also prepared a lot of topics, as well as their life in Qiongzhou, she hadn't told him yet.

  Gu Huaijin was not in the mood to stay any longer, and turned to leave.

Li Baolu reluctantly sent him away, and when Gu Jingyun came back, she proudly said to him: "I asked your father for a small kitchen, and when we live in Gu's mansion, we can cook by ourselves. We used to want to eat and study too expensive. You can order and eat everything.”

"for example?"

   "For example, blood bird's nest, we can eat a bowl and pour a bowl, and eat a bowl in the morning, noon and evening."

   Gu Jingyun was amused, he tapped her forehead and said, "Blood bird's nest is so expensive, it's better to order abalone."

   "But I'm tired of eating abalone." Li Baolu pouted: "Instead, it's bird's nest. Although I have eaten it, I haven't tried blood bird's nest."

The most important thing in the seaside is seafood, even abalone, which is considered very valuable by inland people. The abalone caught by the fishermen cannot be sold for a high price. .

   So Li Baolu is really not greedy for abalone or something.

   "Alright, but everything is too much. You can give the extra to the next person to eat." Anyway, it was Gu Fu's money, so he didn't feel bad.

   "Is the emperor handsome?" Li Baolu skipped the topic and asked instead.

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, "What do you think of an old man who is nearly sixty years old and has a sick body?"

   "Then isn't he jealous when he sees you?"

  The corners of Gu Jingyun's mouth curled slightly, "I have already agreed with the emperor that as long as Concubine Zhao is willing to testify for my grandfather, my grandfather's case can be overturned, and the Li family can return to their hometown."

   "Will the sixth prince be willing to swim in this muddy water? Although the fourth prince is not as favored as before, his power is still not to be underestimated. At least for now, he is still the most recognized heir besides the prince."

   "There's no reason why he doesn't want to," Gu Jingyun sneered, "His life was given by his grandfather."

   "Alright then, I'll listen to you." Li Baolu immediately changed her tone, "Tell me if there is anything I need to do."

   "Yes, you pack up your things first, we'll move to Gu's house tomorrow."

   "Does everything have to be packed?"

   "Just bring some important things, and leave the rest in the small courtyard. We will definitely come back to the small courtyard from time to time in the future, and when we arrive at the Gu Mansion, they will repurchase them for us."

  Li Baolu happily agreed and ran to collect the things.

   All that matters are their books and some self-defense stuff, just two rattan boxes.

   Gu Mansion spent the second sleepless night that night, and Gu Huaijin came to pick up Gu Jingyun early the next morning.

  This time he saw Gu Jingyun very quickly, Gu Huaijin couldn't help widening his eyes, his face gradually darkened, "Did you come to the capital last year?"

  Gu Huaijin has always had a good memory. He was somewhat impressed by people who had seen it once, not to mention Gu Jingyun left a deep impression on him. Although he only saw one side twice, Gu Huaijin still recognized him quickly.

   Then look at the location of the small courtyard where Gu Huaijin lives, not far from the flower market, what else he doesn't understand.

  Gu Jingyun entered the capital as early as last year.

Gu Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and gave Gu Lekang a high look. He thought that after he left the day before yesterday, Gu Lekang would tell everything about them last year, but now it seems that Gu Lekang didn't say anything, and the Gu family didn't know that he entered last year. Beijing.

  Gu Jingyun did not deny it, nodded with a smile: "Father has good eyesight, I did come to the capital last year, but I left soon because of an urgent matter. I came and went in a hurry at that time, and my son regretted not being able to come to visit."

  You did it on purpose. If you came to visit at that time, it was not certain whether you could participate in the rural examination.

  Gu's family can't do much in the capital, but it is still easy to block a scholar's fame outside the capital.
