Li Mumu took it over and found that the books were very old. They had obviously been read countless times. The annotations inside were written in strong and powerful words and were very beautiful.

"These books are..." Li Mumu raised her head and asked, "Who left them? I think the handwriting is strong and powerful, and it is very beautiful."

"It's a book that Shang Qing read before, and it happened to be used by Bai Yuan." Gu's mother explained with a smile.

Li Mumu remembered that the original book said that Gu Shangqing did not have the rough temperament of a mountain villager at all, and he had poetry and books in his belly, but why he didn't write more about it.

Li Mumu also complained about the author, saying that there is no need to be so far-fetched in order to give the male protagonist a good character.

But I didn't expect that the male protagonist actually read the book.

"At first our family could only afford Shang Qing to study alone." Gu's mother explained.

Gu Shangyong scratched his head and said, "The second child and I are not good at studying. We only have the strength to grow crops."

Gu's mother smiled and said, "Shangqing is a good student. He learns very quickly. He was originally going to take the imperial examination. But then his father became ill and needed medicine to treat it. The family really couldn't support Shangqing in his studies. Went down. Shang Qing also knew the situation at home, so he went to farm with him without saying a word. Later, his father got better and the family conditions became easier. Shang Qing did not continue to go to school. He just saved up money to buy books and came back to study by himself. If It’s not that he was drafted this time, he was planning to take the imperial examination.”

"I see." Li Mumu nodded. This makes sense. The male protagonist in the original novel was written by the author to be erudite and astute, and he could use soldiers like a god.

Li Mumu asked Gu Boyuan a few sentences from "The Great Learning", and Gu Boyuan could answer them fluently.

When Li Mumu understood, she said to Wang Cuizhen: "Sister-in-law, let Bai Yuan go to school as usual tomorrow. Let's follow him secretly. I want to see what's going on with that scholar."

"We can just go directly tomorrow, why do we have to follow secretly." Wang Cuizhen muttered.

"According to what Bai Yuan said, since the scholar wants to force Bai Yuan to leave, he will definitely say something even more outrageous when he sees Bai Yuan go again tomorrow. If we are lucky, we can see other students benefiting from the scholar. When the time comes, Just catch him in action. What the scholar said is extremely harmful to Bai Yuan. If word gets out, everyone will say that Bai Yuan is not a scholar. But that is obviously not the case."

Li Mumu said coldly: "The scholar hurts a child as young as Bai Yuan for his own selfish interests. Of course we can't let him go! We have to let him taste the pain! I don't think anyone will send a child to a person with low moral character in the future. Study with someone like that. What good can you teach someone like that?"

"My dear, I just want to seek justice for Bai Yuan. You just want to cut off the scholar's money." Wang Cuizhen subconsciously hid back.

My sister-in-law is so scary!

She didn't say or do anything to offend Li Mumu today, right?

No, was she still dissatisfied with Li Mumu for not working this morning?

Li Mumu: "..."

Why did Wang Cuizhen suddenly show such a fearful expression?

"Haha..." Wang Cuizhen laughed twice, and then cautiously moved two steps towards Li Mumu, looking like she was clearly scared but had to get closer to please, "Um... Mumu, I am such an easy person. You are impulsive and speak louder than your brain. If you say or do something that makes you unhappy, don’t be the same as me. Tell me directly and I will change it!”

Li Mumu: "..."

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Isn't it because the scholar bullied Bai Yuan? Do we want to seek justice for Bai Yuan?" Li Mumu defended.

But Wang Cuizhen was even more worried, "Don't worry, we are a family, and I will definitely not bully you! I promise!"

Wang Cuizhen almost swore to the sky.

Li Mumu: "..."

Why can't you explain it clearly?

She is really a very kind person.

Early the next morning, Li Mumu took Wang Cuizhen with her to send Gu Boyuan to school.

When they were about to arrive at the school, Li Mumu asked Gu Baiyuan to go first, and also told him: "You just go to the school as usual, and don't let anyone know that we are here too. Don't worry, we are just outside the school. I won’t let you suffer.”

"Also, no matter what the scholar scolds you today, don't take it to heart. Because everything he said is fart!"

Gu Boyuan: "..."

He didn't expect the third aunt's words to be so vulgar, but he felt very comfortable listening to her.

"I listen to Third Aunt." Gu Boyuan nodded heavily.

Seeing Gu Boyuan walking a short distance with his short legs, Li Mumu took Wang Cuizhen outside the school.

Li Mumu did not rush to find a place to eavesdrop, but first circled around the school.

"If we don't hurry up and listen to the corner, why are we still lingering here?" Wang Cuizhen said anxiously.

"Wait a minute." Li Mumu pulled Wang Cuizhen and walked to the candied haws hawker.

"Uncle, are you here every day?" Li Mumu asked.

"Yeah." The uncle saw the two people dressed up and said nonchalantly, "Do you want one?"

"How much does one cost?"

"Haha, it's not expensive, only 2 cents."

"Isn't it expensive?" Wang Cuizhen shouted.

"Sugar is expensive. This is a small business. I really can't make much money." The uncle said impatiently.

Li Mumu thought for a while and took out two pennies from his pocket.

She had just gotten married and Gu Shangqing was not here. Gu's mother felt sorry for her and gave her ten cents so that she could buy some if she saw anything she wanted when she came to town today.

"Mom gave you money, you can't spend it like this!" Wang Cuizhen was unhappy when she saw it.

Li Mumu didn't make any money herself, nor did she pay any money to her family, but Gu's mother gave her money to spend.

Thinking that most of the money she earned would be given to Gu's mother, Wang Cuizhen felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Mumu didn't say anything. If you don't give this vendor some benefit, how can he tell you so much information in vain?

Taking a bunch of candied haws-alongs from the vendor, Li Mumu asked again: "You sell candied haws-gluts next to the school. Your business is pretty good, right?"

"It's not bad, the children in the school are all well off, and they all have some pocket money. They pass by my place after school, and occasionally they buy a bunch." The vendor sold the candied haws, and was happy to answer Li Mumu's questions. , much better than the attitude at the beginning.

"Then you must know this school very well. We are looking for a teacher for our child. How is the teacher here?" Li Mumu asked again.

The hawker looked at Li Mumu and Wang Cuizhen's clothes and said, "I see that you are not from a wealthy family, so don't send your children here to spend money in vain."

"How do you say this? Although we are not rich, we still want our children to study and be promising in the future. I have inquired, and this is the only gentleman around here." Li Mumu said quickly.

"Haha, do you think that studying here and just handing in repairs will be effective?" The hawker doesn't have much business now anyway, so he is still very enthusiastic about Li Mumu, "I am here every day, and I see a lot. That scholar was famous for being a dishonest person. When the children of rich families gave him many benefits, he would be nice to them and even cook small stoves for them. He would ignore the children of poor families. There was a child among them who was like, The family didn't have much money, and they didn't give any benefits except Shu Xiu. The scholar gave other children a small stove every day, and of course the other children learned faster. The child with no money couldn't keep up with the progress, and was scolded by the scholar every day for being stupid. .The voices scolding him can be heard all around us.”
