I was a celebrity in the Wei and Jin Dynasties

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

A gust of drafts blew past, and the twigs of the white crabapple inserted in the Ruyi bottle trembled slightly, and a whole small white flower quietly fell, slipped down Gu Chen's clothes, and fell on the faded carpet.

Seeing the ruler is like seeing Emperor Wu.

Xiao Heng knelt on the ground, lowered his eyelashes slightly: "I am frivolous, please punish Han Gong."

The flickering lights on the candlesticks reflected Gu Chen's slender shadow on the crystal screen wall.

"Don't rush to admit your mistake," Gu Chen caressed the elegant and exquisite engraved pattern "Confucius Asking Gifts" on the red sandalwood ring ruler, and said earnestly: "Please think about it carefully, all the concubines who have taken care of you, why did they end up dying?" Choose to send you away? Is there not a single good person among them?"

Xiao Heng felt as if he was struck by lightning, and a terrible answer flashed through his mind.

Gu Chen told Xiao Heng a story:

One day, the owl and the turtledove met.

The Turtledove asked the Owl, "Where are you going?"

The owl replied: "I am going to migrate to the East."

"why?"

"People in my hometown hate the sound of my chirping, because of this reason, I will migrate to the east."

The turtledove said: "If you can change your song, you can migrate to the east; if you can't change your song, even if you migrate to the east, the people there will still hate your voice."①

From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Heng has endured countless beatings. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never give in, let alone admit that his fault was his own.

If he was still the rebellious little wolf cub before, he might show his teeth and claws, and even contradict Gu Chen.

However, in the past few months, Gu Jiu has taught him at least one thing - to listen.

After hearing Gu Chen's words, Xiao Heng was ashamed and ashamed.In an instant, cold sweat soaked his back.

In the past, he always blamed others for their lack of kindness, but he never reflected on: Is there anything wrong with his behavior?

At this moment, Xiao Heng was suddenly very worried.

Could it be that Gu Jiu has already started to hate him?From last night until now, Gu Jiu hasn't said a word to him.

A deep panic made him wish to reform and become better immediately.At least he can't become someone Gu Jiu hates.

Gu Chen raised his ruler and knocked on Xiao Heng three times.

This guy hit quite hard, and Xiao Heng's palm was a little red and swollen from the beating.The burning feeling in the palm of his hand was not pain at all compared to the beating and insulting Zhao Wang Xiaoyi once gave him, but it was more profound than any previous lesson, which convinced him.

The ruler was raised high again, and it was about to fall down.

A scented wind came suddenly, and the curtain rolled up silently, and an extremely gentle female voice came from behind the screen: "Husband, why are you so angry in the middle of the night? Well, if you keep fighting, it will be dawn soon."

In fact, Gu Chen wanted to hit Xiao Heng hard a hundred times.He couldn't see that Xiao Heng was so crooked at such a young age, pretending to be drunk and eating Gu Jiu's tofu.How could his younger brother be bullied like this?

It's just that it's not convenient to say this on the table.

Besides, no matter how unfavored Xiao Heng is, he is still a prince.Beating the little prince with the ruler given by the emperor must also have a legitimate reason.

Can this trouble Gu Chen, who is familiar with the Five Classics and various histories?Obviously not.Don't mention a legitimate reason, he can come up with a thousand reasons.

However, since Madam has spoken, the remaining 97 rulers are owed first.Find a chance to fight again later.

When passing by Xiao Heng, Gu Chen lowered his voice extremely low: "Don't offend Ajiu again!"

This request is a bit difficult for Xiao Heng.

He tries to put all his energy on his studies.Woke up at five o'clock to practice martial arts with Wu Jiu.After breakfast, I went to Taixue to attend classes. At noon, I took a nap in one of the five libraries of Taixue——Pinglianli, and copied books and posted posts.Continue to attend class in the afternoon, write down the words that you don’t understand or understand on paper, and go to Dr. Qin for clarification.

Even so, every night, after the lights are turned off, the clear moonlight reflects on the window lattice.

Xiao Heng climbed onto the couch under the frosty moonlight.In the dead of night, he still couldn't help but think about Gu Jiu.Such as: It's midnight, is Jiujiu asleep yet?

His complexion today looks good, and he still lives in a garden, and it is also very good to see him every day.

Calling a housewife at this time?Damn it, Da Sepi!Ah, it turned out to be listening to a ditty.Wait, why did the singer suddenly stop singing?What good thing is Gu Jiu doing right now?No, I'm going to take a look.

Gu Jiu felt that something seemed to have changed in his life, it was different from before.But he couldn't say exactly what kind of change it was.

One day, two days, three days...

In a blink of an eye, it was the seventh day.When Gu Jiu came back from court, the carriage passed by the clothes.From a distance, I saw Xiao Heng holding a black porcelain bowl and feeding a skinny yellow dog with a sunken belly.

The former owner of this skinny yellow dog who always refused to accept food handouts was Shen Wei and Shen Changkang.

Gu Jiu didn't get out of the car, and lifted the curtain to take a second look.He found that the yellow dog was willing to eat the food Xiao Heng gave it.It is very close to Xiao Heng.

A bowl of minced meat porridge quickly bottomed out.

The yellow dog licked the bowl, then licked Xiao Heng's hand, and wagged its tail.

Gu Jiu was very pleasantly surprised, and ordered the attendants to stop the car, and gave Xiao Heng all the snacks and preserved five-flavored preserved foods on the case.Strive to let the deceased's pet dog have a full meal.

When Xiao Heng was holding those snacks and bowing respectfully to the powerful officials.Gu Jiu finally realized: the little wolf cub who was always clinging to him seemed to get lost while walking.

At the very beginning, Gu Jiu's first reaction was actually to be relaxed - there will never be any wild and unruly little things, recklessly grabbing his sleeves, or even doing many more outrageous things.

After a few more days, Gu Jiu suddenly realized that there was more free time, and the Linzhi Garden had returned to its former tranquility and became dull.

He had to admit: he was a little uncomfortable.

Gu Jiu summoned more than 20 housewives, including Yingying, Yanyan, Huahualiuliu, men and women.He let Ruan Qinghan play the piano, listened to a little tune, and watched a lively song and dance performance.

This kind of entertainment is really a bit monotonous.Gu Jiu's spirits faded, she waved her hand to get all the housekeepers to leave, lit up the silver lamp, and read half of the volume of "Zhuangzi".

There was a crescent moon in the sky, and Xiao Heng stood outside the window for a while.

He didn't dare to get too close, otherwise he would be discovered without blame.So he just watched the light coming from the window from afar.

On a quiet autumn night, Xiao Heng was blown by the cold golden wind and calmed down a bit—why does he care what Gu Jiu is doing?Why?

He stood there for a long time, and almost ran into those family tricks head-on, before he left feeling disappointed.

From then on, no matter what Gu Jiu was doing behind closed doors, or how he had fun, Xiao Heng would not bother him anymore.It's just that someone secretly made an account for Gu Jiu in his heart.All uncertain rotten peach blossoms are debts that may need to be repaid a hundredfold.

After the court dispersed that day, Gu Jiu was once again left alone by Xiao Yun.

"Ajiu, I haven't touched a bow and arrow for several years, and my hand was born. Next month's winter hunting, the emperor will also have to participate in the hunting. You can practice riding and archery with me, and the snow unicorn will be returned to you. How about it?"

The author has something to say:

Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: 4 from TiMi; 1 from Old Chinese Medicine and Lingxi Lingxi; thank you, I will try to make the next chapter longer.

①

Xiao met Jiu, and Jiu said: "I will make him safe?" Xiao said: "I will move east." Jiu said: "Why?"

The owl said: "Everyone in the village hates my singing. Because of this, I moved eastward." Jiu said: "If you can sing more, it's okay; if you can't sing more, moving eastward is like the voice of an evil son."
