Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Gu Zicong didn't know that at this moment, he was being so worried about his marriage, and he was kneeling in his uncle's study and being reprimanded by Hao Yitong.

"I said that after this battle, you will be punished to kneel in front of your father's coffin for a whole night. Are you convinced?"

"Yes." Gu Yu replied.

Shen Xing, who was sitting behind the desk, sighed silently in his heart, and waved to Gu Yu who was kneeling on the ground: "Go."

Gu Yu got up and bowed, then closed the door and left.

As soon as he left the house, he saw his cousin Shen Zheng leaning against the pillar in front of the door.

"If I have such an opportunity to go to the battlefield, let alone kneeling for one night, I would be willing to kneel for three days and three nights." Shen Zheng said.

Gu Yu walked forward on her own, and stopped when she was about to pass Shen Zheng's side, and said, "Even if you kneel for a thousand and one nights, you won't have this chance, give up as soon as possible." back to leave.

Shen Zheng couldn't help being angry, and looked all over the yard with his hips crossed and his head lowered, and finally found a stone the size of a palm, then grabbed the stone and threw it at Gu Yu.

But Gu Yu easily dodged by turning sideways: "I told you to give up."

Shen Zheng chased after him and punched Gu Yu's arm: "You are heartless, I was worried that you would be punished by your father, so I came here to check on the situation, so that I could ask my mother for help at any time. Are you treating me like this?"

When Gu Yu heard Shen Zheng mentioning his mother, her face softened slightly: "How is Auntie?"

"Okay." Shen Zheng said, "I'm just worried about the safety of you and your father. I eat fast and chant Buddha all day long, and I'm going to live in the Buddhist hall soon. Fortunately, I know that you have returned safely, so I can worry about other things."

"Yeah." Gu Yu nodded, "I heard that my aunt has been worrying about your marriage recently, and she seems to have taken a fancy to the daughter of the Shaoqing family in Taichang Temple."

Shen Zheng was most impatient to hear this recently. In order to completely stop him from going to the battlefield, his mother actually wanted to find a civil servant's daughter to restrain her.

He pointed at Gu Yu angrily and said, "You dog, shut up, you will be angry with me when you come back, right?"

Gu Yu shook her head at him and sighed, "After so many years, I just don't have a long memory." She patted Shen Zheng on the shoulder and pointed behind him to motion him to look.

Shen Zheng suddenly felt a chill behind him, and then looked back in horror, only to see his father looking at him with a sullen face, his face darker than the bottom of a pot.

"I don't want to do anything today, you also go kneel in front of your uncle's coffin." Shen Xing said holding back his anger.

Gu Yu saluted Shen Xing again, then pulled Shen Zheng who was in a daze and walked away quickly.

The two knelt until five o'clock on the second day, when a thin figure appeared in front of the door against the cold wind in the early morning. It was Gu Yu's aunt Wang who came.

Wang walked over quickly and bent over to hug Gu Yu and pulled him up from the futon: "Good boy, don't kneel down, go back and rest quickly."

Gu Yu was afraid that Mrs. Wang would fall, so she immediately helped Mrs. Wang get up: "Auntie, I'm fine."

Mrs. Wang took Gu Yu's arm and walked out, "How can you be fine after kneeling all night."

I couldn't help blaming my Lord Marquis for being ruthless. The child had just returned from the battlefield, and before she had time to see him, he was dragged to kneel as a punishment, and she was not allowed to see the child. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Gu Yu said helplessly, "Auntie, I'm fine."

Ever since he came to live at his uncle's house, his aunt has treated him a little more nervously than his own son.

Wang pinched Gu Yu's arm again, and said with distress: "You see, you are so skinny that you don't know how much you have suffered outside."

No one paid attention behind him, and Shen Zheng, who was kneeling until he couldn't stand up, wailed, "Your mother is kind and filial, so take a look at me too."

But when he slowly got up and walked out of the house, there was not even half a person outside the door.

Shen Zheng: ...

*

After kneeling all night, Shen Zheng fell asleep soundly, and immediately ran to Gu Yu's yard to look for him after getting up.

Gu Yu had already woken up and was painting at the table.

Shen Zheng leaned forward to take a look: "Why is the woman in your painting so shameless?"

Gu Yu frowned slightly and looked at him, "What do you want from me?"

"Of course it's a good thing." Shen Zheng took the paintbrush in his hand and put it on the sapphire brush holder, and pulled him out the door, "You haven't been in Beijing for a long time, I don't know that there is an interesting pot shop in Beijing, cousin Take you to see and see."

"No." Gu Yu shook off his hand and said.

However, Shen Zheng did not rely on Gu Yu, and pulled him back again: "Why don't you go, I have a stubborn temper since I was a child, so I have to go." After speaking, he increased his strength in his hands.

Not long after, the two arrived at the shop Shen Zheng mentioned. Gu Yu casually glanced at the signboard, and his pupils dilated in the next second.

"There is a restaurant", isn't that the name of Xi'er's restaurant?

He immediately rushed in to look for the shopkeeper, but saw a man over [-] years old claiming to be the shopkeeper came out to greet him: "Guest officer, what do you want?"

Gu Yu hid her disappointment and said coldly, "It's nothing."

Shen Zheng followed, looking at Gu Yu's series of actions with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Master Gu?"

A female voice sounded behind her, and Gu Yu turned her head to look. It was Wanru, the head arrester of the king of Ansui County Yamen, and there was a strange man standing beside Wang Wanru.

That strange man was none other than Wang Xiucai.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Wang Wanru stepped forward happily, and introduced to Wang Xiucai, "This is Mr. Gu, the original parent officer of our Ansui County."

Wang Xiucai stepped forward to salute: "I have heard of Mr. Gu's name for a long time."

Gu Yu nodded to him, and remembered that Wang Wanru had a good relationship with Xi'er, and thought that the person he sent to Ansui had not returned yet, so she wanted to get some news from Wang Wanru.

Several people were standing in the lobby, and there were quite a lot of guests passing by. Gu Yu glanced at the upper floor and seemed to have a box, and said, "Let's go upstairs and sit."

After several people sat down, Gu Yu asked, "Why are you here?"

Pointing at Wang Xiucai, Wang Wanru blushed and said, "This is my husband-in-law. I accompanied him to Beijing for the exam."

Last year, Wang Xiucai won the examination. According to the usual practice, the next spring will be the examination.

So after the new year, Wang Xiucai rushed to the capital to take part in the examination. Wang Wanru was worried that Wang Xiucai would travel such a long distance alone, so she insisted on going out with her.

But Wang Wanru was relieved to go out with Wang Xiucai, and her father, Wang Butou, was worried that it was just his betrothed daughter who ran so far away with him, so the two families decided to let the two of them go to the yamen to register their household registration and handle the marriage certificate first. Wang Xiucai will hold the wedding after finishing the exam.

After getting the marriage certificate, Wang Butou was relieved that his daughter followed Wang Xiucai to the capital.

But this test will gather the best talents from all over the world in the capital, and only a few hundred people will be selected in three years. It is not so easy to pass the exam.

And Wang Xiucai is a member of the Luosun Mountain.

After all, it was the first time to participate in the test. Wang Xiucai also expected this result and was not discouraged. Thinking of fighting in three years, Wang Wanru also encouraged him in the same way.

"My husband-in-law wants to stay in Beijing to study while waiting for the exam in three years. We originally wanted to rent a yard to live in. It happened that Axi said that the yard behind her restaurant was empty, so we could live here if we don't mind. We Where would you dislike it?"

"Axi? You mean that Xi'er owns this restaurant? She's in the capital?" Gu Yu stood up abruptly.
