Gu Rin's farming life

Gu Xian is an ambitious person, he wants both fame and fortune.

However, he was in poor health. In the ten years since he was admitted as a scholar, he was lingering in bed, and all his ambitions became clouds, but this did not mean that he gave up.

He was just dormant, saving money, waiting for the opportunity to soar into the sky, and this opportunity appeared in front of him now, he would be a fool if he didn't seize it.

Although he is an ambitious person, he will not do anything for the sake of ambition to rob other people's fruits of labor by any means. He is not good at doing it, so he held back his excitement and asked, "Xiao Lin, what about this set?" Did you invent punctuation?"

"Of course not." Gu Lin shook his head, "In my world, the use of punctuation marks is very common, and the use, standardization, and promotion of punctuation marks have gone through a long process."

Gu Lin recalled the promotion and use of punctuation marks in history. It was indeed a very long process. The unified use of punctuation marks was really difficult at the beginning. Now the world should be the same as ancient China, and there is no unified standard. use.

He suddenly realized the benefits of promoting punctuation marks. However, he is not sensitive to letting him promote it. It is more appropriate for a literati to do this kind of thing. If you don't know anything about things, letting him do it may backfire.

This person in front of me is quite suitable. He has been known as a genius since he was a child. If he promotes it in his name, the effect may be very good.

"Brother, I don't have a unified standard anyway, why don't you sort it out and come up with a standard." Gu Lin touched his chin and thought it was a good idea. Besides, punctuation marks are actually an ancient sentence. It is the predecessor of punctuation marks, which means that this thing existed in the first place. He just made a suggestion, which cannot be regarded as the achievement of plagiarizing the ancients. Let Gu Xian do it, and it will not let Gu Xian bear the stigma of plagiarizing the ancients. He was so at ease that he let Gu Xian do this.

"Xiao Lin, are you sure I'll do it?" Gu Xian was a little surprised. The benefits of this matter are obvious, so Gu Lin pushed it out like this?

"Of course, you are a literati, it's more appropriate for you to do it." Gu Lin took it for granted, "Let me do this, I'd rather not do it."

"Xiao Lin, this matter, big brother accepts your affection." Gu Xian looked at Gu Lin seriously for a long time before making up his mind, and said to Gu Lin very carefully.

"What are you doing?" Gu Lin was startled by his seriousness, "It's you who have worked so hard, not me."

Gu Xian only thought that Gu Lin was comforting himself, and silently remembered this favor in his heart.

In fact, Gu Lin is not as great as Gu Xian thought. First, he is not a scholar, so this kind of reputation is not very necessary. Second, he is also lazy. Third, his reputation for papermaking and printing must be greatly improved. , you can't be too greedy, you want to get all the benefits from yourself.

After deciding on this matter, Gu Xian didn't delay for a moment, went into the room, took out a pen and paper, and started tidying up.

I didn't see that this person was so impatient, Gu Lin looked at Gu Xian's back, a little stunned, but after thinking about it, I can understand, literati always have something they care about.

Gu Lin shook his head, put the matter behind him, and teased the two children lying in the stroller.

=======================

Seeing Gu Lin teasing the child, Old Man Gu sighed deeply.

In his heart, Gu Lin is really a good boy, but when he thinks that this child is occupying his son's body, and his son doesn't know where to reincarnate, he feels very uncomfortable and doesn't know how to treat Gu Lin .

Although I heard from Gu Lin that Erlang of his family will have a good birth, but I haven’t really seen it, and I don’t know if it’s true. Besides, Erlang’s reincarnation may never have the chance to meet with them forever. Seeing each other in the sky, I am afraid that we will meet each other again. When I think of this, I feel sad, and I am even more unable to get along with Gu Lin without any grievances, although he has done nothing wrong.

Maybe after a while it will be fine.

Old man Gu sighed again.

Hearing his sigh, Gu Lin realized that the old man was standing aside, looking at the bamboo basket on his back, Gu Lin couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"

"Go to town." Old man Gu tried to show him a kind smile when he heard Gu Lin's voice.

Although the smile seemed a bit strange, Gu Lin still felt the kindness of Old Man Gu, and he couldn't help but also smiled at Old Man Gu, "I'll go with you."

"That's good." Old man Gu thought for a while, there are a lot of things to buy this time, so it's good if someone goes with him.

"Then you wait for me to get off." Gu Lin first sent the child back to the house, put the stroller back, and then came out holding His Majesty the cat, and took the basket on the old man's back, "Let's go."

Old man Gu nodded, and the two walked out the door together.

"stop!"

Before he had gone far, he heard Mrs. Gu's cry.

"What's the matter?" Old man Gu turned his head, and saw Mrs. Gu rushing out of the house in a hurry, and stepped forward to grab Gu Lin, with anger in her eyes.

"Where are you going?" Mrs. Gu asked a little bluntly.

"Go to town." Gu Lin was a little puzzled.

"Don't go!" Mrs. Gu grabbed Gu Lin's sleeve tightly, with a serious expression on her face.

"What kind of demon are you, old lady?" Old man Gu frowned, holding back his anger and asking.

"Don't go!" Mrs. Gu insisted, "Who knows if you will come back after you go?!"

"I'll be back." Gu Lin held his forehead, feeling a little helpless. Gu Pozi has been very indifferent to him since she knew the truth, and she also likes to follow him. Once Gu Lin leaves her sight, she is very anxious.

Seeing her like that, I can't wait to tie Gu Lin on the waistband of my trousers and keep Gu Lin in sight at twelve hours a day.

Although Gu Lin felt helpless, she also understood her mentality.

But old man Gu was very upset, and pulled away Mrs. Gu's hand, "Look at what you've been thinking about all day, where can Xiao Lin go if she doesn't come back?"

"I don't care, I can't let Erlang's body out of my sight." Mrs. Gu continued to hold Gu Lin's hand tightly.

"You!" Hearing what he said, Old Man Gu gave up his plan to continue communicating with her, "Whatever you want, anyway, Xiao Lin must go to town with me."

"Then I'll go with you." Mrs. Gu thought of another trick.

"Whatever you want." Old man Gu rolled his eyes and decided to ignore her.

In the end, Mrs. Gu, Old Man Gu, and Gu Lin went to the town together, while Wen Yan and Gu Xian stayed to look after the house and the children.

=================

Under the banyan tree at the head of the village, the villagers still gather in twos and threes, talking about the family's problems.

"By the way, do you know? Wen Yougen and Er Laizi are going to be exiled?" A round-faced woman asked mysteriously while pinching melon seeds.

This person is Wang Zhou, the wife of the head of the village, Wang Liehu. Although she often gathers with some women in the village under the big banyan tree, she doesn't really like to gossip about others. Today I will take the initiative to talk about other people's right and wrong, so it can be seen that this matter is really surprising.

"Really?" The person who asked the question was a woman with a long face. She was Ma Zhang, the wife of a horse butcher in the village. Although she liked to gossip, she basically had something to say. So generally what she said is more credible, unlike Second Aunt Yang, who speaks harshly and viciously, and likes to make up nonsense, nine and a half out of ten sentences she says are false.

"Really, I heard from my natal sister-in-law's cousin that he works in the county government office." The round-faced Mrs. Wang Zhou threw a handful of melon seeds and said, "I was sentenced a few days ago, and it is said that he was sentenced to eight sentences. Ten boards and exile for three thousand miles, but before the boards were given, their limbs had already been broken, so the boards were exempted, and all they had to do was to be exiled."

"What evil did they do to be exiled?" Long-faced Ma Zhang was very surprised, "It's not some heinous thing, so it shouldn't be such a severe sentence, right?"

"Isn't that so?" Wang Zhou looked worried, "I heard it's child abduction." Wang Zhou looked around mysteriously before saying, "Wen Yougen and Er Laizi want to sell Wen Yan, the eldest son of the Wen family. For the brother Sheng in the town."

"Oh, what a crime!" Mrs. Ma Zhang clapped her hands, "Everyone knows what kind of business that brother Sheng is doing. He even wanted to sell the child to him. Isn't this a crime or something?"

In fact, the people in the village also knew vaguely what that brother Sheng did, but they were just ordinary people, they couldn't control so much, and they didn't dare to control them. They could only hide their children tightly for fear of being abducted.

But he didn't expect that someone was really so vicious and wanted to sell a good child to him for ruin.

"It's just a crime." Wang Zhou echoed, "Fortunately, it didn't succeed, otherwise Wen Yan would be really pitiful."

"That's right." Mrs. Ma Zhang sighed, "Wen Yougen has been exiled, and Wen Yan is also relieved."

The villagers also knew about Wen Yan's situation. It's not that they didn't want to pull Wen Yan, but Wen Yougen is really a bastard. If anyone treats Wen Yan a little better, he will make the chickens and dogs restless in that family. It is impossible for an outsider to ruin one's peaceful and peaceful life, so as time goes by, no one dares to treat Wen Yan anymore, and Wen Yan is basically struggling in the village.

"Yes." Wang Zhou thought for a while and asked, "Is that child at Gu's house recently?"

The Gu family was one of the few families in the village who were treated well by Wen Yougen after being quarreled with by Wen Yougen, so later on the villagers got used to it. If something happened to Wen Yan, their first reaction was to find the Gu family, not the Wen family.

"It should be." Mrs. Ma Zhang nodded before realizing that the Gu family was standing aside, and she didn't know how long they had been listening.

But the two of them didn't speak ill of others, so they didn't feel guilty. Instead, they smiled at the Gu family, "Are you going to town?"

"Go and buy something." Mrs. Gu just responded indifferently, but now she is anxious to confirm whether Wen Yougen's story is true, "From what you mean, Wen Yougen was exiled?"

"Yes." Wang Zhou nodded, "Gongwen may come to the village in the next two days. I heard that the county magistrate is very angry at such a troublesome person and wants to set him up as a model." Wang Zhou couldn't help sighing. , "This time our village can be regarded as ashamed and humiliated. There are two crazy people like this. They won't be able to hold their heads up when they go out in the future."

"It's really a piece of rat shit, it ruined a pot of porridge!" Mrs. Ma Zhang cursed bitterly.

"The same kind of rice feeds a variety of people." Gu Pozi answered coldly, "I think it's very satisfying. People like him should have been arrested a long time ago."

"He deserves it, but he brought a bad reputation to the villagers." Ma Zhang was still very dissatisfied. Her eldest son was talking about marriage recently. With such a reputation in the village, I don't know if I can talk about good girls. This time, I really took a big scapegoat.

"That's something that can't be helped." Wang Zhou was a little rejoiced. Fortunately, her son was already married, so it didn't affect her for the time being.

"It's getting late, let's go to the town first." After getting the news she wanted to know, Mrs. Gu greeted Ma Zhang and Wang Zhou.

"Walk slowly."
