The scumbag ran away from marriage, I remarried on the spot

Dali Temple.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Jingxi felt that his colleagues' eyes would always glance at him from time to time. Those meaningful looks and teasing smiles made him feel weird.

Gu Jingxi was very puzzled. He grabbed his friend and asked in a low voice: "Mo Bai, is there something on my face?"

Qi Yunwen glanced at him lightly, then shook his head: "No, why do you ask like that?"

Gu Jingxi asked again: "If not, then why do they look at me wrong?"

Hearing this, Qi Yunwen was suddenly enlightened, his eyes moved down, and finally fell on the sachet on his waist. The sachet is actually quite beautiful, with fine stitching and excellent embroidery work. It is the mandarin duck pattern on it that attracts everyone's attention. Who would not find it strange to see the stern temple minister in front of him wearing such a sachet?

Qi Yunwen smiled and said, "This sachet of yours is quite nice. Is it a gift from your sister-in-law?"

Gu Jingxi subconsciously touched the sachet on his waist. Thinking of the little girl hanging the sachet on his waist last night, with her shy and charming look, he smiled: "Who else would give me this besides her?" Plant something?”

"Yao Ling, don't you raise me as a child? Why do you keep me..." Qi Yunwen smiled intriguingly and winked teasingly, "That's it, huh?"

Gu Jingxi's face paused. He had indeed raised the little girl as his child, but his plan could not keep up with the changes. He responded calmly: "She and I are husband and wife, there is just an age difference."

After hearing this, Qi Yunwen said "tsk" twice, and then said: "It's true that we are a couple, but you don't have to show off like a peacock by hanging it around your waist everywhere, for fear that no one will know that your sister-in-law made a sachet for you. Similar."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi understood why his colleagues looked weird today and said softly: "The sachet is just an accessory. What's the problem with wearing it? You are the ones making a fuss. Making a sachet also requires a lot of effort. If you don't wear it, Isn’t it true that one’s heart has been let down?”

Qi Yunwen was choked by these words. In fact, he also has a sachet that symbolizes the love between men and women. How about he also wear it tomorrow? My friend and boss wear it, so what’s wrong with him wearing it?

However, just such a small thing inspired other officials of Dali Temple.

Married officials used to think that such sachets could be worn in their free time. It was a bit embarrassing to wear them when they were on duty at the Yamen, so that their colleagues could see them. Now Siqing took the lead, and Shaoqing followed closely. , they always feel a bit out of place if they don’t wear them.

Lord Si Qing dotes on Mrs. Gu, he is a master who dotes on his wife, and he may also admire similar people. As subordinates, if they can be appreciated by their superiors, it will also be beneficial to their future, so whether they really love their wives or just show it , many adults followed suit. Even if they did not have such a sachet, they asked their wives to make one.

This move also pleased their respective wives, who made sachets with other patterns for them on a whim.

Later on, the officials developed a desire to compare and show off the things their wives had made for them. Invisibly, the relationship between the officials as husband and wife improved a lot, and the old couple also gained a bit of freshness.

Everyone said that the officials in Dali Temple had a good atmosphere and the men doted on their wives.

Of course, that's a story.

The next day.

At the end of the autumn period, the students who participated in the autumn period left Gongyuan one after another.

After nine days and seven nights, we ate, drank, and had sex in the Gongyuan. The conditions of the dormitories in the Gongyuan were poor, with poor food, drink, and rest. In addition, the candidates were under great pressure and their spirits were tense. After the exam, the candidates were all depressed. My face is pale and I have lost a lot of weight.

Looking around, some of the candidates who came out of the Gongyuan were able to walk on their own, some needed to be helped out by each other, and some even fainted and were carried out. These fainted people were all in poor physical condition. Or most of them are wealthy young men who have never suffered any hardships.

The family members who came to pick up the candidates were eagerly waiting for that familiar figure to appear.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen both came to pick up their son, and wanted to ask how his son did in the exam, but when they saw that their son had lost weight and looked listless, as if his energy had been drained, their eyes became red. , I was very distressed, and I didn’t have the time to ask my child how he was doing in the exam, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Xiu Yuan worked hard, you look like you've lost a lot of weight."

"Our family Xiuhong has also lost weight. Look at his face, there is no color left."

"Hey, I need to make up for it when I go back."

"No."

……

Gu Xiuming saw that his two brothers had their elders asking for their welfare and caring about them in various ways. On the other hand, only the bookboy came to pick him up. His father did not show his face at the beginning or the end of autumn, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

After Mrs. Zhang finished talking to her son, she was about to go back when she noticed Gu Xiuming standing aside. She took a rough look at him and saw that he was also losing weight, so she asked with concern: "How do you feel, Xiuming? Look at how much weight you have lost." few."

Gu Xiuming suppressed the discomfort in his heart and responded calmly: "Thank you for your concern, auntie. Everything is fine with me, I'm just a little tired."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Then go back and take a shower and change clothes, then have a good sleep and rest."

Gu Xiuming responded, and then the book boy helped him get into the carriage, and the group headed back home.

In that room, Meng Jinyao was strolling at home when she suddenly saw Mrs. Zhang and her group. Then she belatedly remembered that Qiu Wei was over today, and her eldest sister-in-law and her second sister-in-law went to the gate of Gongyuan to pick up their sons.

She looked at the three Gu Xiuyuan brothers again, and saw that the three of them had haggard faces, their eye sockets were crow-blue, and their eyes were full of red bloodshot eyes. They looked like they were in low spirits. Their steps were sloppy and they needed help from their servants. Hou Mengui The elegant demeanor of the young master was gone at this moment, especially Gu Xiuming, whose expression was worse than that of his two brothers, which showed that he had been working very hard these days.

However, although Gu Xiuming was the one in the worst condition, there was a faint sense of confidence between his brows, which Gu Xiuyuan and Gu Xiuhong did not have.

She was surprised. Could it be that Gu Xiuming did well in the exam?

After a moment, Meng Jinyao withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, stepped forward, and said warmly: "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are back. Xiuyuan and the others have lost a lot of weight, especially Xiu Ming. Are you okay?"

Gu Xiuming bowed his hands and replied respectfully: "My son is fine, mother, don't worry."

Meng Jinyao nodded slightly: "As long as it's okay, I must not have had a good rest these days. Now that I'm back, I'll go back and have a rest. When I'm rested, I'll go pay your respects to your grandmother tomorrow. Your grandmother was still talking about you yesterday. Three Brothers."

Gu Xiuming responded: "Yes, mother."

Afterwards, Gu Xiuming was supported by his servants and returned to Qingyu Pavilion. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen exchanged greetings with Meng Jinyao and sent their sons back.
