Gu Jingyun looked at the swaying curtain with gentle eyes, and a petite back was projected on the curtain. He could even imagine how the little girl who was guarding the carriage was swaying her legs and staring at the busy people.

  Since the late emperor passed away, his uncle's family returned to the capital safely, the anger in Gu Jingyun's heart gradually dissipated, and he also paid more attention to Zhao Ning.

   "Zigui, I hope you can understand the world better. No matter what you choose to do in the future, you must think about your original intention, the purpose you wanted in the first place."

  Zhao Ning sat upright and asked him in a relatively general manner for the first time, "What is the purpose of the gentleman?"

   Zhao Ning looked at Gu Jingyun with bright eyes, his eyes were less gentle and more solemn.

  Gu Jingyun is a fourth-rank attendant appointed by the late emperor, and he is afraid that he will not be able to leave the Hanlin Academy in his entire life, let alone be promoted to official power.

The prince's teacher, the emperor's teacher in the future, will naturally make many people in awe, but in fact, he has very little real power, and his power is probably not as high as that of the first or fourth grade Langzhong. Do you really want to be a teacher all your life? So what is your purpose as a teacher?

  Provide the country with the backbone of talents?

   Don't mention Gu Jingyun's answer, he doesn't believe it. Zhao Ning looked at Gu Jingyun with bright eyes.

Gu Jingyun looked at him approvingly and nodded, and said with gentle eyes: "When I was young, I wanted to be in a high position, because then I could protect my family. Later, I knew that it was impossible with my identity, so I wanted to become an imperial teacher. I like to answer questions for you and others, and being an imperial teacher can protect me and my family."

   "These goals are very clear, but the farther I go, the more I see, and the more I think about it, I sometimes have doubts, so what else can I do for the future? It's not just people."

  Gu Jingyun spoke slowly, word by word, but Zhao Ning was still confused, "It's not human, so what else? Animals and plants?"

Gu Jingyun thought for a while and said, "There are all things in mountains and rivers. I know that injustice exists all the time, and it will be the same in thousands of years, but I hope that even if it is injustice, the people at the bottom will not be humble, and their lives will not be threatened by those in high positions. , except for illness and fate, no one can take the life of others;"

   "I hope that even in poverty, the poorest people will be able to fill their families' stomachs, and will not be deprived of clothing or food;"

   "I hope that even if it is a big natural disaster, the most miserable survivors will not change their children to eat, and cut their meat to feed their mothers;"

   "I also hope that even the poorest families can make every child literate, male or female."

  Zhao Ning's heart pounded, and he said dryly, "Is it still poverty if every child can go to school and read and write?"

  Gu Jingyun looked at him with a smile, Zhao Ning couldn't help swallowing, shook his head and said, "Sir, you, this is not an extravagant hope at all, but a whim."

Gu Jingyun looked at the mountains outside and said: "I also hope that the mountains and rivers of this mountain and river will be greener, more vitality, and this river's water will be clearer, all these are delusions in the eyes of people of the time, but as long as you work hard, maybe one day It can come true. If you don’t do it, it’s really delusional.”

  Zhao Ning opened his mouth and asked after a while, "What are you going to do, sir?"

Gu Jingyun smiled and said: "One person's strength is limited, and I only have a mere hundred years to live, the time is short, and the hope is slim, but I have seeds, and after I sprinkle them, I can become a towering tree, even if there is a broken tree, it will always be More seeds can be sown and passed down from generation to generation, and the efforts of each generation will one day create this era."

   Zhao Ning thinks that Mr. is worthy of being a child. Even if he has passed the exam, he is still a big child. Otherwise, why would he be so whimsical?

   But looking at the quiet and gentle gentleman, as a student, he couldn't sneer, he could only think silently about how he could help.

  Gu Jingyun saw him meditating and didn't bother him. He got up and got out of the carriage. He smiled at Li Baolu who was sitting in the carriage with his legs hanging down and swaying, "Come with me for a walk."

  Li Baolu jumped out of the carriage, raised her chin slightly and smiled and stretched out a hand to him, like a prince who invited the princess.

   Gu Jingyun smiled slightly, put his hand on her little hand, and jumped off the carriage as soon as she was pulled.

  The two of them held hands and went to enjoy the snow without shyness.

   The captain of the guard looked at it and said with emotion, "Young is good."

  Yuan Shanting also glanced at them, twitched his eyes and said, "If I didn't say it, I would have thought that they had been married for more than ten years, and they didn't look like a newlywed couple at all."

  Bai Yitang raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He said, "You have a good eye. Seriously, they have been married for eleven years, and it has been twelve years since the new year."

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian couldn't help but widen their eyes, and the head guard laughed and said: "Yuan Daxia, Su Daxia, don't you know, Mrs. Gu is a child bride, and I heard that when she was three years old, she was going to be Mrs. Gu's wife, so they both ate together. grew up living together."

   How would they know?

  The captain of the guard also thought about it, the arena is different from the officialdom. Now in the officialdom, who doesn't know the situation of the Qin family?

   Gu Jingyun, who was walking with Li Baolu in the forest, was tilting his head to look at Li Baolu, "Will the world in your dreams come true?"

   "Yes," Li Baolu nodded affirmatively, "Just wait and see."

   That was where she lived in her previous life. Although it wasn't as good as Gu Jingyun said, it was almost the same.

   At least ordinary people are much better off than this world.

   Gu Jingyun squeezed her palm and said, "I hope I can do something for this world."

   "Then do it," Li Baolu supported him, "You are so smart, you will definitely succeed."

   Gu Jingyun smiled, "You're right, then are you willing to come with me?"

  Li Baolu nodded fiercely, "I do."

  Gu Jingyun held her hand tightly and pulled her in one direction with a smile, "I remember there are some flowers there, let's go pick them and decorate the carriage."

   "There will be flowers in this season? Well, there are flowers," Li Baolu looked at the dog's tail grass sticking out of the snow with difficulty, and went up to dig up the snow and break it. "The dog's tail flower is also a flower."

  Gu Jingyun watched his wife stumble to pick flowers, and couldn't help laughing. The depression in his chest dissipated. His life was hard, but no matter how hard it was, how could there be such people?

The young couple finally picked a bunch of dog tail flowers and went back. Zhao Ning helped to tie the grass and put it by the window with a sullen face. He also took out an urn and put some snow in it as a vase. The planted grass was placed in the middle of the low table. Yes, it was grass. He firmly refused to admit that it was a flower.

   Bai Yitang dialed the dog's tail grass and didn't say anything, just brought the dog's tail grass to his apprentice when he came back for dinner.

   Li Baolu looked numbly at her master while holding the grass in her arms.

   Bai Yitang waved his hand and said, "Take it and play."

   Gu Jingyun held back a smile and took the grass from her arms, and accompanied her to fill the whole carriage.

   Bai Yitang shook his head and sighed, worrying about the aesthetics of his apprentice and her husband, what kind of taste is this car full of dog's tail grass?

   Little did he know that Li Baolu was sticking out his tongue and whispering to Gu Jingyun: "Master's aesthetics are really strange, and he would give people a dog's tail flower. Fortunately, I was the one who received the gift, if others had thrown it away earlier."

   "That's because you picked it up as a flower first."

   Isn't that what you want?

  Li Baolu looked at Gu Jingyun's profile and swallowed the words wisely.

   After dinner, Gu Jingyun asked people to invite the old village chief, and he wanted to teach them how to make fur.

  The old village chief was worried and brought two descendants here. He didn't know what these nobles were looking for him so late, but he always felt that it was not a good thing.

Then……

  The old village chief widened his eyes and asked cautiously, shaking his lips, "You, do you mean to ask us to tannery furs?"

  Gu Jingyun nodded and looked at the old village chief with a smile, "If the old man is willing, choose a few more clever villagers, and I will teach them."

Gu Jingyun paused for a while and then said: "It's best to have some middle-aged, young, teenagers and children, and choose a few more girls. The girls are skilled, maybe they can learn faster than others. We only stay here for one night. , I will continue to shovel snow tomorrow and leave."

   There were tears in the eyes of the old village chief, and when he got up, he was about to kneel down for Gu Jingyun.

  Li Baolu hurriedly supported him, "You don't have to do this, the old man. After all, we are disturbing your peace. Didn't your kneeling make me wait?"

   Gu Jingyun glanced at the sky and said, "It's getting late, the old man should hurry up and choose someone, and bring some rabbit skins."

  The old village chief responded and hurriedly turned around and left with a cane. This time, he walked quickly without being supported by others.

   The round-faced little guard sniffled and held some things, "Master Gu, this is what you want."

  Gu Jingyun nodded and said, "Put it on the ground, thank you very much."

The    round-faced little guard scratched his head, hehe smiled and said, "No, no, it's because of the kindness of Master Gu."

   The little round-faced guard saw that Gu Jingyun skillfully separated the pile of things on the ground, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Gu, how can you make furs?"

   These guards will also simply tanner, after all, they will go out to hunt or something, but that is only simple tanning, so that the fur is not too rough to affect the later tanning.

  The preparations prepared by Mr. Guan Guan are obviously not just as simple as simple tanning.

"The climate in Qiongzhou is mild, but there are times when it's cold. We don't have to worry about food and drink with our little money, but if we want fur for clothing, handguards, etc., it's not enough, and Master, the old man often goes into the mountains to hunt, he will simply hunt for food and drink. Then take it to the market to exchange money and food." Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "My wife has been there with me, and I have seen those people who can make double or even double the profit when they sell the carefully tanned fur. Money, so she felt that she was at a loss, she just took the fur saved by the master and tossed it by herself, found countless books and many recipes for tanning, and finally found a few recipes that could be used.
