Gu Wenjing knew that Luo Qingyi was still too simple, and perhaps she was a little cautious about outsiders, but she was very kind to her family. She never thought that her sister would have bad intentions towards her.

He didn't say anything bad about Luo Liuyi. After all, Luo Liuyi did nothing now, and it would only make me complain.

Gu Wenjing said to Luo Qingyi in a slightly tough tone: "Since you have married into the Gu family, you are the Gu family wife. In the future, you have to tell me in advance that I will accompany you to go back!"

He knew that he would be tougher to a woman like Luo Qingyi who was full of thoughts of marrying her father at home and following her husband.

Gu Wenjing did not restrict Luo Qingyi from interacting with her parents' family. After all, the Luo family gave birth to her and raised her. He just wanted to prevent her from letting Luo Qingyi go back to her parents' house alone, and then easily be deceived and murdered by Luo Liuyi as in the original plot.

Luo Qingyi nodded gently, not thinking that Gu Wenjing's tone was too tough, but she felt happy. A man was willing to accompany his wife to his parents' home every time, which means that he valued his wife very much.

After Gu Wenjing took Luo Qingyi back to the Gu family, the Gu family's life gradually returned to the right track, and Luo Qingyi gradually integrated into this family.

Gu Linglong is not as bad-tempered and polite as Gu Wenjing's sister Gu Yuanyuan in the last world. Instead, she is well-behaved, sensible, filial and polite. Gu Linglong and the gentle sister-in-law Luo Qingyi get along very well, and often make female lovers together, and their relationship is like a real sister.

Luo Qingyi, who received Gu Wenjing's permission on the first day of her wedding, no longer cared about anything and used her dowry to improve the life of the Gu family with her openly.

The Gu family, who was originally above the horizontal line, has become much more comfortable. In the past, they used to cut some meat and come back to eat it every few days, but now they eat it in different ways almost every day.

Both Gu’s father and mother are not shameless people. They have a high moral level and are ashamed of their behavior of spending their daughter-in-law’s dowry.

However, Gu Wenjing did ideological work for them: "Dad, mother, the dowry money spent by my wife, will be all my money when I pass the imperial examination in the future. Even if we can continue to live the ordinary days of the past, we can't ask my wife to be a daughter like us, right? If we live two kinds of lives, can we still be considered a family?"

Gu Wenjing's words convinced Gu's father and mother that they could not insist on letting the family live separately for the so-called self-esteem. What does it mean to eat simple food and delicacies on the other side?

They just thought that the Gu family borrowed Luo Qingyi's money, and in the future, Gu Wenjing would return it if he passed the exam.

As for whether Gu Wenjing can pass the imperial examination, no one in the Gu family will doubt that he won the imperial examination. It is not only because of the original owner's outstanding performance before, but also because of Gu Wenjing's confidence since time traveling, which has infected them, causing them to be brainwashed unconsciously.

The world Gu Wenjing traveled through this time was a dynasty like the first world he traveled through, but it was roughly the same.

The Central Plains court where he was located was the Great Qi Dynasty. In addition to the Great Qi, there were some small countries and the nomadic people in the border deserts.

Now the Great Qi Dynasty is in its prosperous era, with clear and clear administrations, and the people are living a good life.

The imperial examination system of Daqi is the same as that of his first world, and the examination content is similar. Gu Wenjing, who once passed the top scholar, now has great advantages, so it is natural to take a juren to take the exam.

However, Gu Wenjing did not relax his vigilance. He still insisted on continuing to review books according to the original owner's learning habits. Although the imperial examination knowledge in this world is not much different from the first world, there is still a little difference in the end. He did not want to mess up the knowledge of the two worlds because he was too confident, which caused him to overturn during the exam.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Gu Wenjing's current study costs are all done by Luo Qingyi's dowry. He doesn't have to be busy copying books and making money like the original owner. He just needs to study hard every day. He occasionally goes out to discuss knowledge with a few scholars he know who are planning to participate in the next provincial examination.

However, Gu Wenjing was no longer interested when he went to the so-called poetry club once. It was just that because the original owner had already joined the poetry club, he always refused and had to go there a few times occasionally.

The people in this poetry club are all scholars who plan to continue to participate in the provincial examination in Qingyang County. Gu Wenjing is the youngest among them. But when he went to participate and discussed knowledge with other scholars, he found that these people's level was average.

Anyway, in his opinion, no one of these scholars went to the provincial examination to win. But they still felt good about themselves, and Gu Wenjing was embarrassed to perform too well in the poetry club to avoid attracting jealousy.

But even so, other scholars were mostly envious of him. After all, he had a promising future and even married a beautiful girl with a generous dowry.

A scholar named Zhang in his thirties couldn't help but ridicule him: "Does Gu Xian still copy books now? Oh! Look at my memory!" He said in a pretentious manner, "I almost forgot that Gu Xian's nephew became Boss Luo's son-in-law and Miss Luo's generous dowry, how could his nephew still need to copy books to make money?"

Gu Wenjing glanced at this scholar Zhang, and information about him quickly emerged in his mind.

Zhang Xiucai was a scholar who passed the exam in the same year as Gu’s father. He was only a few years younger than Gu’s father. His son is now about the same age as Gu Wenjing, but he can’t even pass the exam in Tongsheng.

Because his family background was difficult to support him, he took the provincial examination every three years. He had already given up continuing the imperial examination and placed his hopes on his son Gu Wenjing, so the Gu family lived a pretty good life.

But Zhang Xiucai has not given up on the imperial examination yet. In three years and three years, the Zhang family has tightened their belts to support him in the imperial examination. His son is about the same age as Gu Wenjing, but he is still unable to be a wife because of his poor family.

Zhang Xiucai was probably jealous of Gu’s father and Gu Wenjing, so he couldn’t help but ridicule Gu Wenjing in front of so many people.

However, Gu Wenjing did not feel embarrassed at all and hurt his self-esteem. He was not mentally burdened by his soft meals.

"What does Brother Zhang mean?" A scholar in his twenties who looked slightly black and strong, wearing a scholar's uniform stood up and stared at Zhang Xiucai, "When we established a poetry club, we said we would be able to have equal friendship, but Brother Zhang bullied Gu Wei's younger brother and called him a virtuous nephew. Did he deliberately take advantage of him? Or did Brother Zhang think he was a senior higher than everyone and would he be our uncle?"

This young scholar who did not give Zhang Xiucai any face, was named He Zhengming.

He Zhengming's family is a landlord and his family is well-off. Although he is not as rich as a merchant like the Luo family, he is more than enough to support him in his studies, so he can barely be considered a farming and studying.

He Zhengming was a classmate and friend of the original owner, and the original owner's copying work was introduced by He Zhengming. After Gu Wenjing came here, he came into contact with He Zhengming several times. He felt that although this person had a bit of a bad temper, he looked like a scholar, but he was sincere in treating others and was a friend, so he maintained this friendship.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

Now that Gu Wenjing was ridiculed by Zhang Xiucai, He Zhengming was the first to stand up and stand up for him.

The other scholars were like Zhang Xiucai, who were more or less jealous of Gu Wenjing and were unwilling to speak for Gu Wenjing. However, He Zhengming put Zhang Xiucai in the opposite direction after a few words.

Of course, Zhang Xiucai was unwilling to recognize the hat He Zhengming had on him. He defended: "Gu Wenjing's father was admitted to the scholar in the same year as me and had a great relationship. How could Gu Wenjing and I be confused? He and everyone, all of us have their own opinions."

Gu Wenjing smiled faintly: "Brother Zhang said it well, everyone should discuss it."

Zhang Xiucai's face suddenly turned red. He did mean to rely on his seniority to teach Gu Wenjing a lesson, but he had no actual seniority relationship with Gu Wenjing. Now that he was being run back, he felt that he was embarrassed.

He was about to argue something when he saw Gu Wenjing turn to talk about his knowledge with He Zhengming, completely ignore him and leave him there and feel embarrassed.

The other scholars looked as if nothing had happened, and they couldn't help laughing in their hearts. Although they were jealous and jealous of Gu Wenjing, it did not mean that they were on the same side as Zhang Xiucai, and Zhang Xiucai's popularity was not that good.

This poem ends with a bit of a slight beginning and abrupt ending.

When Gu Wenjing and He Zhengming left together, He Zhengming mentioned Zhang Xiucai: "Don't take that old guy's words to heart today, and don't get angry with your younger brother and sister when you go home."

Gu Wenjing smiled: "Brother He, don't worry, I know what I want in my heart. Now I am indeed relying on my wife's dowry to study for the imperial examination. There is nothing to hide from. Now I owe my wife how much I will pay back the money."

His tone was plain but firm, and He Zhengming looked at him with appreciation. It is not uncommon for rich people to invest in young scholars who are good at studying in this world, but scholars who are willing to repay kindness are rare. There are many scholars who are well-developed and demoted their wives to concubines after becoming officials or divorced from their wives after being demoted to a bridge.

Because the status gap between officials and businessmen is too big, many people only say how the business girl deserves Master Guan. Even if Master Guan is demoted to a concubine, it is natural to be retired to her parents' home.

But no one dared to say that when the official was in a downturn, he was a poor scholar who could not even make up the imperial examination fees. He relied on the wife of a businessman whom he looked down upon to support the imperial examination. As a result, he was ungrateful and repaid his grudges for his revenge once he was developed. He was really a bad person.

Gu Wenjing said to He Zhengming: "Thank you Brother He for your help today. I'll treat Brother He to dinner!"

He Zhengming knew very well how Gu Wenjing's family was. The cost of going to a restaurant was a big burden for the Gu family. Perhaps Gu Wenjing could afford it now, but He Zhengming refused, "No need, I have to go back to review the book. My father really wanted me to change the family in the provincial examination."

Gu Wenjing nodded: "Okay, when we are all on the list after the provincial examination, I will make up for this meal today."

He Zhengming laughed and said, "Then I will lend you auspicious words!"

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

The conflict between Gu Wenjing and Zhang Xiucai seemed to be eliminated invisible, and Zhang Xiucai's difficulties in the poetry club were also squeezed back by him.

But afterwards, the Zhang Xiucai didn't let him worry at all. At some point, the rumors of Gu Wenjing eating his wife's soft rice gradually spread in Qingyang County. It was about how poor Gu Wenjing was before marrying his wife and how he had delicacies after marrying Miss Luo's family.

The rumors that suddenly spread made Gu Wenjing not believe that there was no one behind him.

The saying of eating soft rice is the most hurting of men's self-esteem. Many unfaithful scholars divorce their wives after they become rich. They also know the kindness their wives have given them, but that is not as good as their shame and annoyance. It seems that only divorced wives can wash away the humiliation of eating their wives' soft rice.

The Luo family was afraid that Gu Wenjing would also have a secret grudge against those scholars. So when he became prosperous in the future, the Luo family would not only not get any benefits, but also have to get a eldest daughter.

So Luo Jinbao immediately found an opportunity to visit Gu's father and mother, and put his posture very low, striving not to let the Gu family hold grudges on the Luo family because of the rumors outside.

Gu’s father and mother did have a grudge against Luo Qingyi and the Luo family because of rumors outside. Even though they knew it was not their fault, they still couldn’t help but take their anger on them because of their son’s reputation.

But now seeing Luo Jinbao's low gesture of coming to apologize, Gu's father and mother sighed: "How can the words of the man who was jealous of Wen Jing affect our relationship with our in-laws? Qingyi married into the Gu family, so naturally it was my Gu family. Don't worry, our Gu family will definitely not let Qingyi down."

Luo Jinbao felt a little relaxed after getting the correct words of his father and mother.

Luo Qingyi also rushed to apologize to Gu’s father and mother: “I didn’t know how to restrain myself and spread it out to give outsiders the opportunity to slander my husband.” Even if she used the dowry and money to support the Gu family, she would have to subsidize her privately and should not be blatantly put on the surface.

Gu Wenjing happened to encounter this scene. He heard Luo Qingyi's words and sneered: "Only those men who are incompetent and vain are playing with self-deception! Why should you feel guilty? You did nothing wrong, but you have done a lot to my Gu family. Everyone in your family remembers your contributions! As for those outsiders, they are just jealous of your husband and I. In fact, don't you rely on your wife and family? That scholar Zhang is still relying on his mother, wife and children at home to work early and late to support his imperial examinations!"

He is not like that scholar Zhang. He is old and his children are grown up and he will rely on his family to support him as a matter of course.

The reason why he didn't think about how to make money now is because Luo Qingyi used money to improve the living conditions of the Gu family was originally the investment of the Luo family in him, and Luo Qingyi did not affect his life because of this expense, so there was no need for him to find a way to make money by himself in order to fight for a sigh of relief.

The Daqi in this world has serious restrictions on merchants. Merchants are rich but have low social status and will not be allowed to take the imperial examination within three generations. Even those great merchants are just fat pigs raised by officials. They give officials a lot of money as protection fees, but when it comes to slaughtering, those officials are not ruthless at all.

Gu Wenjing didn't want to leave a "stain" of business for his identity in order to make money, which would be an obstacle to his future official career.

＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜＜

No matter how intense the rumors spread from outside, Gu Wenjing, the person involved, seemed to know nothing and was calm. Those who spread rumors were embarrassed to say this in front of him, so Gu Wenjing was not affected at all.

Because Gu Wenjing was not affected, the Gu family became less concerned about the rumors outside.

Just as Gu Wenjing said: "When I get the test, you can see the turn of these rumors!"

Then he waited for the provincial examination every three years.

In August, Gu Wenjing was about to set off to the prefecture one month in advance and in early July.

Qingyang County is a bit far from the prefecture, so he plans to go in advance so as not to rent a place to stay.

The scholars in Qingyang County who planned to participate in this provincial examination were all determined to go to the prefecture in advance, so they decided to go together. There were many people and great powers, so it is of course a peaceful and prosperous era now, but it is difficult to ensure that there will be no dangers such as robbers and beasts on the road. It is too dangerous to go alone.

Gu Wenjing and He Zhengming both made an appointment with the scholars of the Poetry Club to go out.

Gu’s mother, Luo Qingyi and Gu Linglong were all at home to help Gu Wenjing prepare for the salute.

Gu’s father had participated in more than one provincial examination. Gu’s mother was very experienced in preparing for the provincial examination ceremony. This time, Gu’s father also planned to go to the prefecture with Gu Wenjing.

Gu Wenjing knew that Gu's father was worried about him, so he did not refuse. Luo Jinbao specially sent him a carriage for him to carry on. If there was a carriage, Gu's father would not suffer too much when he followed him to the prefecture.

In fact, when he saw the carriage, Gu Wenjing thought of replacing rubber wheels for the carriage and preventing bumps according to the springs. This was a big business opportunity. However, he didn't dare to take it out when he was just a little scholar, and the Luo family couldn't eat it or protect it.

On the day he left, Gu Wenjing looked at Gu Linglong and Luo Qingyi who were coming to see him off. Both men in the family were going out, and there were only three women left. He was worried and told Luo Qingyi: "I ask my father-in-law to take care of you. You and your mother, sister should pay attention to safety at home. If you have any difficulties, send the maid back to her parents' home for help, don't be afraid of losing face."

Luo Qingyi nodded gently and said reluctantly: "My husband pays attention to safety all the way, and I will wait for my husband to go home as soon as possible!"

Gu Wenjing nodded and looked at Gu Linglong again. Looking at the slim girl who was already fourteen years old, he smiled slightly: "When my brother comes back from the imperial examination, I will choose a good husband for you!" Now the Gu family is inferior, but when he returns from the imperial examination, the Gu family will change the family. As his only sister, Gu Linglong can naturally marry a high position. He even wanted to delay and choose a good family for Gu Linglong after three years. Gu Linglong is only seventeen years old after three years.

His words made Gu Linglong blush, but she still resisted the shyness and said reluctantly to Gu Wenjing.
