Chapter 50 The hero is a scholar(1/2)
I heard that it was just hearsay after all, and Gu Wenjing had not found out whether the Li family had decided to marry Li Cheng in private.
After all, Li Cheng delayed his marriage because his grandmother passed away and had just passed away. He was in the provincial examination and then he was in the provincial examination. Gu Wenjing would inevitably consider the possibility of Li Cheng's marriage in private and waiting for him to get married after he was given a title on the list. So he wanted to inquire from Li Cheng while drunk.
The answer given by Li Cheng was exactly what Gu Wenjing expected, but when Li Cheng said what he wanted to marry his sister Gu Linglong, Gu Wenjing felt very upset again.
Although he came through it halfway, he has been together for more than three years, Gu Linglong, a sensible, well-behaved and cute sister, really made him love her. Especially when compared with Gu Yuanyuan in the previous life, Gu Linglong seemed even more obedient and considerate, and was a good sister.
When he thought of marrying his sensible and considerate sister to another man, he couldn't help feeling sad about marrying his daughter.
In the ancient world, women rely on their parents’ home before getting married, and on their husband after getting married, and on their son when they get old, and put their lives on others.
Gu Wenjing was confident that he could become Gu Linglong's lifelong backer, but he could not guarantee whether she would meet a scumbag after she got married. There are too many ways to fight in the inner house that make people suffer.
Gu Wenjing is a big man who may not be able to consider it very carefully when choosing a marriage for his sister. All he can do is choose a brother-in-law who has a future for his sister who can suppress him.
In the future, as long as he can suppress his brother-in-law, I believe that for his sake, my brother-in-law's family will not dare to treat his sister slowly.
Especially if you place your sister’s happiness on your brother-in-law’s conscience, it is better to put it on his brother’s power.
Li Cheng is Gu Wenjing's best choice at present, and it seems that Li Cheng is looking forward to this marriage.
Gu Wenjing still pretended to be drunk and pretended not to hear Li Cheng's words. He was supported and sent to Mo Yan's hand. Before leaving, Li Cheng did not forget to remind Mo Yan: "I will come to visit Brother Gu tomorrow!"
Gu Wenjing narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Cheng, and hummed in dissatisfaction: "I really miss my girl!"
The next day.
Early in the morning, Gu Wenjing had just got up and washed up and was having breakfast when he received a report from the doorman: "Young Master Li is here to visit!"
Gu Wenjing stood up and walked out, saying, "Come in quickly, Brother Li!"
Li Cheng entered the house that Gu Wenjing bought. He looked at a small but exquisitely decorated house and smiled and said, "Brother Gu's house is good. When I pass the exam and stay in the capital, I will buy a house next to me and be a neighbor with Brother Gu."
Gu Wenjing smiled and led the way: "Okay, I'm just waiting to be your neighbor."
Li Cheng saw the breakfast that had not yet been taken down and was slightly stunned. He knew that he was not the time to come. He smiled and said, "Brother Gu is having breakfast, just in time. I remember to come to see Brother Gu. Before I had time to have breakfast, I wonder if I could have a meal with Brother Gu?"
Gu Wenjing immediately ordered Mo Yan to go and ask the kitchen to prepare another breakfast to deliver.
The two sat at the table, and no one started eating. Li Cheng said carefully: "Brother Gu, do you still count the words you said yesterday?"
Gu Wenjing deliberately pretended to be stupid: "What are you saying? You also know that I drank too much yesterday and I don't remember some of the words."
Li Cheng's cheeks were a little red, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's...you talk about the marriage between our two families."
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Although Gu Wenjing had already confirmed that his brother-in-law was Li Cheng, he felt uncomfortable about marrying his sister out, so he deliberately pretended to be confused: "Get married? Oh, I thought about it, but I thought that you are nineteen, and you must have married you in your family or have married you. We are afraid that we have not had the fate to be in-laws."
Li Cheng hurriedly said, "Brother Gu misunderstood! Because my grandmother passed away and was mourning, I was in charge of the provincial examination, so in order not to distract me, my parents at home did not make a marriage for me."
Gu Wenjing looked hesitant: "That's it... I don't hide it from you. My sister just got married. The family couldn't bear to marry her so early, so she wanted to get married first and get married in two years. You are not young, and the family should be anxious and can't wait for my sister."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "This is okay. I am willing to wait for it. I will explain it to my parents."
Li Cheng wanted to marry Gu Wenjing's sister Gu Linglong, of course, it was not because he had met Gu Linglong and fell in love with her at first sight. The Li family and the Gu family were far apart, and he had never been to Qingyang County. How could he fall in love with Gu Linglong at first sight?
He wanted to marry Gu Linglong because Gu Wenjing was her brother.
Since making friends these days, Li Cheng deeply felt Gu Wenjing's outstanding talent and versatile methods. Such a capable person, even if he has no backing, will definitely make a fortune in the officialdom.
Li Cheng may have been proud of his identity as a juren in front of Gu Wenjing, the son of a scholar, but with the impact of his own encounters since he entered Beijing, he deeply realized that in this place, a juren's son is nothing, and a second-level Jinshi is nothing.
However, Gu Wenjing, with the honorary status of the third "Big Three Yuan" No. 1 in the history of the Great Qi Dynasty, is impressive, and even the emperor admires him.
So Li Cheng decided to follow Gu Wenjing in the future, and what kind of relationship is more reliable than marriage?
Li Cheng gave the guarantee, Gu Wenjing thought for a while and said, "When I return home, I will mention this matter with my father and mother. The two elders will have to decide on the marriage of my sister."
Li Cheng nodded with a smile. In his opinion, Gu Wenjing, as the most promising person in the Gu family, spoke up and suggested that Gu’s father and mother had to consider it seriously no matter how hard he agreed, and the marriage would be sure.
"Brother Gu, after I returned home, I reported to my parents and asked the matchmaker to come to propose marriage."
As the top scholar, Gu Wenjing was the editor of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy at the beginning. Moreover, because of his status as a "big three-yuan", he was more eye-catching than an ordinary top scholar. Even if he was from a poor family, no one would openly exclude him.
Even though he kept making small moves in secret, Gu Wenjing didn't care. This was much better than when he traveled through the first world and first entered the officialdom. I remember that he was the prince of the Marquis's Mansion in his first world. When he entered the Hanlin Academy, he was also violently raped by the old man for a while, and then slowly got involved.
The new Jinshi returned to his hometown to visit relatives on several months' holidays, so Gu Wenjing applied for the Hanlin Academy and was approved for a three-month holiday.
Three months have not been short. Apart from the time spent on the back and forth, he can stay in Qingyang County for more than two months.

On the way back to his hometown, Gu Wenjing was walking alone.
An Jingcheng, who was on the same journey with him, failed to pass the Jinshi. After the three of them celebrated the exam, An Jingcheng returned home early. Li Cheng wanted to walk with him, but he did not have a different path.
This time, Gu Wenjing returned home as a sixth-rank official in Beijing. He was incomparable to the juren when he came, and his treatment was very different.
As soon as he stepped into the boundary of Qingyang County, he learned that the magistrate of Qingyang County had come to meet him early.
The Qingyang County Magistrate is just a Jinshi with no backing background, while the county magistrate is a seventh-rank official position, which is two levels lower than the sixth-rank official position when Gu Wenjing first entered the officialdom. Therefore, when facing Gu Wenjing, Qingyang County Magistrate, even if he sighed in his heart, he still saluted him respectfully and said to him as a "lower official".
The magistrate of Qingyang County saluted him because of his official rank, but Gu Wenjing could not accept it calmly, because when the original chief examiner was the magistrate of Qingyang County, he was still his chief examiner. With this layer of incense, he could not be too indifferent at this moment. Moreover, the Gu family members were still in Qingyang County under the jurisdiction of him, the magistrate!
Gu Wenjing helped Qingyang County Magistrate up and smiled kindly: "Mr. County Magistrate, don't be so polite!"
The magistrate of Qingyang County invited: "The officials have prepared a small wine. I wonder if Lord Gu is willing to appreciate his face?"
Gu Wenjing looked embarrassed: "My magistrate, it's not that I am unwilling to do so, but my parents are old and my wife has just been born. I am anxious to return home, so I am sorry!"
The magistrate of Qingyang County was not surprised. His invitation was a formality and quickly changed his words: "Then let this banquet that welcomes Lord Gu before Lord Gu sets off to Beijing! Just treat it as the elders and fellow villagers of Qingyang County and practice it for Lord Gu."
Gu Wenjing nodded, "The official will be disrespectful."
Gu Wenjing bid farewell to the magistrate of Qingyang County and returned to the Gu family.
Now the Gu family is no longer as small as Gu Wenjing when he first came. After he passed the exam, Gu's father decided to buy two houses next door and expand them into a big house. Now, it looks very good as a wealthy family.
As soon as Gu Wenjing returned home, Gu’s father, Gu’s mother and others who were informed by his servants came to greet him in person.
Gu’s father was still relatively steady, but he just stood there looking at him with relief and pride. Gu’s mother was not so reserved. She rushed to Gu Wenjing to look at him carefully: “I’ve lost weight! I’ve lost a lot!”
Gu Wenjing didn't feel that he had lost weight, but there was a kind of thinness called 'Mother thinks you are thin'. He didn't refute it and said with a smile: "My son is back now, so mom will make up for his son."
Gu's mother cried with joy: "Okay! Mom will make up for you!"
Gu's father came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Wen Jing, good!" He was not so excited at this time, but no one expected that after receiving the good news that his son had passed away, he almost fainted in surprise.
Gu Linglong also raised her head and smiled at Gu Wenjing with her eyebrows and eyes: "Brother, welcome home!"
Gu Wenjing touched the top of her head.
He didn't see Luo Qingyi coming to greet him, and asked strangely: "Mom, why don't you see your wife?"
Gu's mother smiled and said, "Qing Yi had just given birth to a daughter, and she was still in confinement!"
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Gu Wenjing frowned slightly: "I gave birth so soon? Is there a daughter?"
Although Luo Qingyi is the son of Mr. Luo, but the son died, but Gu Wenjing did not think that the plot would remain unchanged after he arrived, and it was still possible that the dead son would be lost by a butterfly.
What he cared about was that Luo Qingyi actually gave birth in advance!
He went to Beijing to take the exam in early February this year. Luo Qingyi said at the time that he was eight months pregnant, but in fact he was only more than seven months, less than eight months.
Gu Wenjing calculated Luo Qingyi's due date. It should be half a month before Luo Qingyi's delivery date. He wanted to take a leave home to accompany Luo Qingyi for delivery, but he was told that Luo Qingyi had given birth as soon as he got home?!
Seeing that Gu Wenjing's expression was not as happy as he looked, Gu's mother thought he didn't like his daughter, so she advised: "God is the destiny of giving birth to a child. You can't blame Qingyi, and it's good to bloom first and then bear fruit!"
Gu Wenjing knew that Gu's mother had misunderstood and quickly explained: "I don't prefer boys over girls, but I'm just wondering why the lady gave birth in advance. It's logical that there should be about twenty days left to be the due date, right?"
Gu’s mother’s face darkened and she said lightly: “Qingyi’s sister is seriously ill and can’t afford to rest. Please ask Qingyi to visit her. As a result, Qingyi gave birth prematurely in the Qi family. Fortunately, the mother and daughter are safe.”
Gu's mother was really dissatisfied with Luo Qingyi's sister Luo Liuyi, saying that she could not get sick and was about to die. Gu's mother didn't believe it. She rushed to Qi's house when Luo Qingyi gave birth prematurely, but she saw Luo Liuyi waiting outside the delivery room, without any serious illness and dying.
And if Luo Liuyi is really seriously ill, how can she see a pregnant woman while she is sick? What if it is infected with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter?
But Luo Qingyi was soft-hearted. When Luo Liuyi sent someone to send a message, she said she wanted to see her sister for the last time. Gu's mother was dissatisfied and could not object. After all, people were almost dead. How could she stop her if she wanted to see her own sister?
Unexpectedly, Luo Liuyi did not die and her illness gradually recovered, which made Luo Qingyi frightened and gave birth prematurely in the Qi family.
When Gu Wenjing heard about Luo Liuyi's incident, his face was slightly darker and his power was revealed.
He went to visit Luo Qingyi, who was still in confinement. The Gu family did not have the same rules as Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which was the first world. So Gu Wenjing went directly into the room and saw Luo Qingyi, who looked pale and weak.
Luo Qingyi was very surprised when she saw Gu Wenjing: "Honeyone!" But she immediately thought that she looked so ugly now, and she lowered her head embarrassedly, "Why is my husband coming in? I didn't dress up, and this look made my husband laugh."
Gu Wenjing sat down beside the bed, reached out to hold her hand, and said warmly: "I don't laugh, but I feel a little sad. You are giving birth to a baby for me, my wife, and I want to thank you for your husband."
No matter how many times he has experienced it, he always feels indescribable when he sees his wife struggling to give birth to a child for him.
Luo Qingyi smiled, her face flushed, and she said softly: "Have you seen your daughter?"
Gu Wenjing said: "Not yet, I'll take a look at you first."
Luo Qing ordered the wet nurse to carry the child over to Gu Wenjing. This was not the first time Gu Wenjing had a child, but his previous relationship was withdrawn by the system. When recalling his former children, they could not remember the father-son relationship. Now, a new world and a new child can still awaken his love and expectation for his children.
Gu Wenjing reached out to hug the child, looking at the baby's white and tender face, but his heart was so strange that he didn't feel like he liked it, and even felt a little repulsive.
What's going on?
