Chapter 46



Chapter 44 The hero is a scholar

Gu Wenjing smelled a strong alcohol from himself. He didn’t open his eyes, but sat up with the strength of the woman and drank the sobering tea that tasted bad.

After drinking, he lay down and pretended to be drunk and fell asleep. In fact, he was receiving the original host’s memory and plot outline transmitted by the system.

The plot this time is very simple, it’s a story about Li Daitao’s stubborn mistakes.

The original owner was the son of a talented scholar in Qingyang County. He was talented in reading. He was just like his father at a young age. He was valued by Luo Jinbao, a wealthy businessman in Qingyang County. He married the eldest daughter and accompanied him to the university. Pen dowry.

Although the original owner has won a talented person, studying is extremely costly. The original owner’s family has been exhausted because of his father’s repeated trials and failed. It is very difficult to support the original owner to examine people. Therefore, even if the original owner feels embarrassed as a scholar to marry a business woman with his wife as a dowry to study the imperial examination, he has to bow his head to reality and marry Luo Qingyi, the eldest daughter of Luo Jinbao.

However, what the original owner didn’t know was that Luo Jinbao originally wanted to marry Luo Qingyi’s twin sister Luo Liuyi to him, because the original owner was just a talented person who didn’t know if he could do it. The Luo family bet on giving up a prostitute. With a big deal, Luo Jinbao still couldn’t bear to let his eldest daughter marry him.

Luo Jinbao intends to marry his eldest daughter Luo Qingyi to the Qi family, a wealthy businessman. The Qi family has a lot of cooperation and close relationship with the Luo family. The marriage of the two is also for better cooperation in the future. And the second daughter Luo Liuyi assigned to the original owner, if the original owner can be promoted, the Luo family will have a backer.

But Luo Liuyi looked down on the poor Gu family, and didn’t think that the original owner could pass the test. She was unwilling to marry the original owner, and she was struggling to die and live in Luo’s family.

Luo Jinbao was so helpless that she had no choice but to let the eldest daughter Luo Qingyi marry the original owner, and Luo Liuyi married into the Qi family to enjoy wealth.

However, good luck made people, three years later, the original owner was successfully admitted to Juren, and the ranking was still very high. It is very likely that he will be admitted to the Jinshi, and the future is bright. However, the Qi family suffered heavy losses due to the assassination of their opponents, and finally fell to a state where only a few shops were left and Zhuangzi barely survived.

Luo Liuyi married into the Qi family not only did not enjoy the wealth for long, but also became the last straw of the Qi family. The Qi family all counted on her to return to her natal family for help.

However, six years after Luo Qingyi married the original owner, he became an official’s wife gracefully, and the Luo family, whom Luo Liuyi regarded as relying on, had to flatter her compatriot sister.

Both sisters are prostitutes, and they are also female compatriots, born in the same year and on the same day, and look exactly the same. But just because Luo Liuyi was born a moment later than Luo Qingyi, she was just the second daughter, and the treatment in the Luo family was always one point worse than Luo Qingyi’s eldest daughter.

Luo Liuyi was always full of jealousy towards her sister. Later, his father Luo Jinbao chose a husband-in-law for them, and he also gave a better Qi family to his sister. Unwilling and jealous, she snatched away her sister’s marriage in a fuss, but unexpectedly picked sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.

Luo Liuyi didn’t think that she had missed her son-in-law, she only resented that her sister had taken away her son-in-law who belonged to her.

So Luo Liuyi took advantage of Luo Qingyi’s return to her natal home, and pushed her down into the icy lake to drown.

Luo Qingyi died in the Luo family. The Luo family was afraid of offending the Gu family. Luo Liuyi took the opportunity to propose to his parents the plan of Li Daitao Zheng, because Luo Qingyi married the original owner for six years and had only one son and one daughter, and his son died early. In order to maintain the in-law relationship between the Luo family and the Gu family, it is obviously not enough to rely on a deceased prostitute. When the original owner continues to marry, how much can the Luo family borrow from the Gu family?

It would be different if Luo Liuyi continued to be the mother of the Gu family in place of her sister. If she could still give birth to a son for the Gu family, then the in-law relationship between the Luo family and the Gu family would be unbreakable within at least three generations.

Luo Liuyi’s parents were moved, so with their help, Luo Liuyi successfully pretended to be his sister Luo Qingyi and returned to Gu’s family.

The original owner and his wife can only be regarded as relatives, not close, so the wife has never been found to be a wife and sister. Luo Liuyi replaced all the personal servants who were familiar with Luo Qingyi. The only person who found something wrong with Luo Liuyi was Gu Wan, Luo Qingyi’s three-year-old daughter.

Gu Wan couldn’t tell what was wrong with her mother, but she always cried and didn’t want to get close to Luo Liuyi, so that Luo Liuyi almost exposed herself several times.

After Luo Liuyi became pregnant, he was intent on killing Gu Wan. He simply didn’t do two things, and directly murdered Gu Wan. He planted a concubine that was most beloved by the original owner at the time, and eliminated two threats with one stone and two birds.

After Luo Liuyi gave birth to a son, he gradually relaxed his vigilance and accidentally exposed himself in front of the original owner.

After investigating the death of his wife and daughter, the original owner finally chose to remain silent. After all, he couldn’t kill his son’s biological mother for his wife and daughter who had already died.

Although the original owner chose to make mistakes, he still hates Luo Liuyi as a poisonous woman in his heart. He deliberately mentions her past with Luo Qingyi in front of Luo Liuyi, treating her as Luo Qingyi and letting her live in the shadow of Luo Qingyi forever. under.

Luo Liuyi, who thought he had successfully concealed it all his life, lived a lifetime under Luo Qingyi’s identity. Whether it was a good or a bad life is like a person who knows himself when he drinks water.

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

Gu Wenjing’s current time point was when the original owner had just married Luo Qingyi and entered the door. After the original owner toasted the wine and entered the bridal chamber, he fell asleep so drunk that Gu Wenjing walked through.

He was not at all drunk, but he still pretended to wake up in a dazed manner, sat up, rubbed his temples, looked at Luo Qingyi, who was dressed and handsome, said apologetically: “Lady, because my husband just got married. A friend drank alcohol and drank too much.”

Luo Qingyi has a gentle and pleasant temper, and has no intention of being angry at all. He thoughtfully twisted the wet kerchief and wiped his face: “My husband wipes his face, it is more comfortable. In the future, I will still drink less alcohol, which is not good for my health.”

Gu Wenjing smiled and held Luo Qingyi’s hand, “Okay, just listen to the lady.”

In the dead of night, the candle was burning cracklingly, the bed tents were lowered… the sky was slightly white, and the rooster crowed.

Gu Wenjing got up when he heard the cock, and Luo Qingyi was waited on by her dowry maid to wash.

Gu’s family now lives in Qingyang County. Gu’s father opened a private school to maintain his living. Life is pretty good. After all, Gu’s father no longer spends money on imperial examinations. No matter how poor, poor scholars can live better than ordinary people’s homes.

But compared with the Luo family, who has a wealth of wealth, living conditions are still far worse.

Although Luo’s family is a merchant and its social status is not high, they are rich! Wearing gold and silver, delicacies of mountains and seas, and groups of servants are far beyond Gu’s ability.

As a spoiled daughter, Luo Qingyi is very unaccustomed to Gu’s living conditions.

Gu’s father and mother are still alive today, and Gu Wenjing has a younger sister, Gu Linglong, who is only eleven years old.

A family of four, plus a wife and a concierge bought by the Gu family, it’s just right for six people to live in a small yard, but Luo Qingyi brought in several close servants and servants to marry in, and the Gu family simply couldn’t put them there. Many people, she can only let her dowry live in her dowry shop.

From the Luo family’s point of view, the house where the Gu family lives is cramped and dilapidated, even Luo Qingyi’s boudoir in the Luo family can’t match.

Qing Yu, Luo Qingyi’s personal maid, couldn’t help complaining when she was waiting for her to freshen up: “Miss, I really don’t know what the master thinks, and she cruelly married you here! You don’t know that I went to fetch water before. At that time, I was asked to go to the well to fetch water myself, and I almost fell into the well.”

Luo Qingyi warmly persuaded: “Okay, Qing Yu, don’t complain. Marry a chicken with a chicken, and a dog with a dog. Since I am married to the Gu family, I am naturally a housewife. It will take a long time to come. I will get used to it.”

Standing outside the door, Gu Wenjing waited for a while before opening the door and coming in, with a calm expression as if he had just heard the maid say that Gu’s family was not the one who had settled down.

His gaze fell on Luo Qingyi’s face, and she looked very gentle and delicate with makeup on, without the slightest aggressiveness.

Gu Wenjing didn’t see Luo Qingyi’s character description from the plot outline, but from her performance just now, it can be seen that her temperament is a little soft, that is, she does not know whether she is an ordinary white rabbit or a steel-toothed white rabbit.

Gu Wenjing said to Luo Qingyi: “I don’t have so many rules at home. Today, I can give my parents a cup of tea.”

Gu Wenjing, who had passed through Houfu’s first son, was well aware of how cumbersome the rules of the big family were. It was not easy to save time in the morning and evening.

Luo Qingyi smiled softly, got up and followed Gu Wenjing, and the two went to the main room to offer tea to the father and mother who were waiting there.

After Luo Qingyi finished the tea, he took the gifts that he had prepared long ago from Qing Yu and gave them to Gu’s father, Gu’s mother and Gu Linglong.

Her dowry was expensive, and the gifts she sent out were naturally of high value. Gu Wenjing gave a brief estimate. The three gifts Luo Qingyi were estimated to be worth hundreds of taels, which was a huge sum of money that the Gu family could not get.

Gu’s father and Gu’s mother obviously could see the value of the gift. Their expressions were a little embarrassed, and the red seal they gave Luo Qingyi looked very shabby when such an expensive gift was given.

Gu Wenjing knew that Luo Qingyi did not deliberately embarrass Gu’s father and mother. It was just that they had different consumption concepts. How could a daughter know how to live the life of the poor? Moreover, many places where the Gu family spends money are indeed dependent on Luo Qingyi’s dowry supply.

He opened his mouth to divert everyone’s attention: “Father, mother, it’s too early, let’s have breakfast!”

The embarrassing atmosphere was broken. Gu’s father, Gu’s mother, Gu Wenjing, Gu Linglong, and the newly entered Luo Qingyi gathered around the table for breakfast. This time Luo Qingyi was smarter once, and did not let her maid Qingyu wait on him. Do it yourself.

Otherwise, she will take the maid to serve the whole family alone, and the atmosphere may be even more embarrassing.

Gu’s breakfast was made by the wife of the only two servants in Gu’s family. The craftsmanship was ordinary, and there were not many varieties and not so elaborate. Luo Qingyi was a little uncomfortable with eating. Gu Wenjing noticed her difficult sip of porridge, and he understood it very well.

A young lady who has never tired of eating is suddenly forced to eat ordinary rice porridge. Of course, she feels she can’t eat it. This is not like modern times in ancient times. Ordinary people eat coarse-grained brown rice. The thick rice porridge made by Gu’s family who can eat white-flowered rice is considered good condition. However, the taste of rice that ordinary people can’t eat is far worse than modern polished rice.

Gu Wenjing also felt that after traveling to this ancient world, the cost of food and clothing was not as good as the modern ordinary life he lived in the previous world.

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

After breakfast, Gu Wenjing took Luo Qingyi back to the room.

He directly said to Luo Qingyi: “Because your husband knows that the lady is from a rich family, you can’t bear such suffering. I also know that your father-in-law has given you enough dowry. You can use the dowry to improve your life without taking into account my thoughts.”

Luo Qingyi was stunned, and said anxiously: “My husband, I can’t bear the hardship, I will gradually get used to it!” Before she married to Gu’s family, her mother, Mrs. Luo, told her that she would definitely live in Gu’s family. It will be very bitter, she has a large dowry to support her to continue her luxurious life, but if she uses the dowry to support the Gu family and the whole family, it will only hurt her husband’s self-esteem.

After all, no spineless man can bear eating his wife’s soft rice, which hurts his self-esteem too much.

Luo Qingyi didn’t want to make herself estranged with Xiang Gong over such a small matter.

Gu Wenjing seemed to understand her concerns. He smiled faintly and said, “Are you afraid that I can’t accept the fact that I can’t eat soft food?”

Luo Qingyi’s face turned pale, and he dared not speak.

Gu Wenjing straightforwardly told her: “To be honest, I married you because your Luo family is rich, and I lack money. There is nothing to avoid. I need to rely on the Luo family’s money to continue studying the imperial examinations, and your Luo family needs me in the future. Provide asylum after the lift. There is nothing to say about this kind of mutual benefit. You don’t have to think that spending money to support my family will hurt my self-esteem. I am confident that it’s okay to be admitted to the Juren, and now I owe the Luo family. It will be back.”

Gu Wenjing is not like the original owner. He feels that it is humiliating to have to accept Luo family funding because of the actual financial shortage. In his opinion, before he develops, others invest in him. He will repay the investment help he received doubled in the future when he develops. Mutual benefit is normal.

He stood up and looked at Luo Qingyi, calmly said: “I asked you Luo family to borrow money, and I will definitely pay it back in the future, so why can’t I use the borrowed money to improve my own life?”

Luo Qingyi pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew in her heart that Gu Wenjing’s words were true, but she was a little sad. Her dowry was money lent to him by the Luo family, so what about her?

When Luo Qingyi lowered her head sadly, suddenly a large, slender hand with distinct articulations stretched out, raised her chin, and asked her to look at him: “What is the lady upset? The father-in-law married you to her husband, isn’t it? Are you optimistic about the future of your husband? So…” There was a smile on his face, “The lady must take good care of her husband’s heart, so as not to turn her face and deny her husband’s title on the gold list in the future!”

Hearing Gu Wenjing’s intention to say this, Luo Qingyi felt from the bottom of his heart that he would not cross the river to demolish the bridge if he had a future.

And the sadness in her heart gradually dissipated.

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

Three times back to the door.

Gu Wenjing took Luo Qingyi back to the Luo family mansion.

Luo Qingyi’s father, Luo Jinbao, is a big businessman who is very good at doing business. He knows what peace is to make money. He never pretends to be his father-in-law when facing Gu Wenjing. He smiles amiably and approachably.

When facing Luo Jinbao, the sensitive and arrogant original owner had a very good impression of him, otherwise he would not agree to marry Luo Jinbao’s daughter. After all, such a young talent is still rare in Qingyang County, and there are many merchants who want such a son-in-law.

Luo Jinbao had taken people to wait for them in person.

He smiled and said to Gu Wenjing: “Xian-in-law, please come in quickly!”

Luo Qingyi went to the backyard to meet Mrs. Luo, and Gu Wenjing let Luo Jinbao take his son to entertain him in the front yard.

Since Luo Jinbao intends to invest in Gu Wenjing, the most probable talented son-in-law, he naturally gave him a lot of face, and his father-in-law was not put on airs, and there was a lot of flattery in his words.

Gu Wenjing’s attitude towards Luo Jinbao is not strange. Although the Gu family is far less rich than the Luo family, in terms of social status, scholars with fame are much higher than businessmen. Luo Jinbao is not a giant businessman, he hasn’t reached the point where money can be used for officials, otherwise he would not invest in a talent.

Huahua sedan chair people carry people, Luo Jinbao gives him face, and Gu Wenjing naturally gives face to Luo family. Weng and son-in-law talked very happily.

The process of Luo Qingyi seeing her mother and sister in the backyard was not a pleasant one, because her sister Luo Liuyi seemed to prove her choice was correct. The words ridiculed the Gu family: “I heard that the Gu family is so narrow that her sister. Even the dowry servants can’t live, and the sister can stand it? It’s better to take the servants and move to Zhuangzi to live comfortably!”

Mrs. Luo reprimanded Luo Liuyi softly: “Don’t talk nonsense! Your brother-in-law is a man of scholarship, and he will be a grandfather of the people in the future, and he won’t live in Qingyang County forever.”

Luo Liuyi smiled disdainfully: “There are so many poor talents, how many can be admitted to Juren? For so many years, Qingyang County has never seen a Juren master, and my sister still told her brother-in-law to stop dreaming!”

Not to mention that Gu Wenjing is only likely to be admitted to Juren, even if he really can, Luo Liuyi hopes that he will not be. Because only Gu Wenjing, the man who was made up by her fiancé into her brother-in-law, has always been a poor talent, can she prove that her choice is right, and her vision is discerning.

As for the Luo family’s interests, she couldn’t think of so much, and she was full of her own gains and losses.

Luo Qingyi had a soft temper, and never quarreled with her sister before. Luo Liuyi was arguing about changing marriage with her, and she obediently agreed. But this time, facing Luo Liuyi’s slander, Luo Qingyi’s face was rare and angry: “Sister! Xianggong was admitted as a scholar at a young age, or he was a scholar in the first place in the first test on the first examination. How can such talent fail to pass the test?”

How could Luo Liuyi accept Luo Qingyi’s rebuttal, the sisters almost quarreled. Mrs. Luo has long been accustomed to the scene where the eldest daughter gives courtesy to the second daughter, and the two can’t quarrel. Today the eldest daughter suddenly refused to give in. Mrs. Luo hurriedly closed the game: “What’s so noisy about this? Can the son-in-law be elected? You know it by yourself.” She looked at Luo Qingyi and sighed, “Regardless of whether he is ranked or failed, since you have been married into Gu’s family, you should be a housewife Gu and sit firmly as your wife.”

Luo Qingyi felt that his mother was not very optimistic about Xianggongzhong, so he pursed his lips, just nodded silently.

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

Gu Wenjing chatted with Luo Jinbao for a while, and after having lunch together, he came to pick Luo Qingyi back.

When picking up Luo Qingyi, he met a young woman who looked exactly like Luo Qingyi but had a completely different temperament.

Gu Wenjing saw at a glance that this woman in a red dress with pride and confidence between her eyebrows and eyes was not Luo Qingyi with a gentle temperament, but Luo Qingyi’s twin sister Luo Liuyi.

He didn’t understand how the original owner was blind in the original plot and couldn’t see the difference between the two sisters. The temperaments were so different that he could tell at a glance.

Luo Liuyi also noticed this strange man who appeared in her home, looking at the young scholar with a long body of Yuli and Yushu facing the wind, she walked towards him with a smile on her face.

Gu Wenjing turned sideways to avoid, but Luo Liuyi stood still and smiled unclearly: “How do you hide from me?”

Gu Wenjing frowned slightly, he felt that Luo Liuyi seemed to be deliberately unclear, and wanted him to admit the wrong person.

He said solemnly: “If my sister is fine, brother-in-law will leave first.”

Luo Liuyi’s eyes were a little surprised. She didn’t understand how Gu Wenjing recognized her. It was obvious that in order to be more like her sister, she changed her body to look like her sister. The appearance and body of the two looked indistinguishable. , Dressed the same, even their parents could not recognize them.

Gu Wenjing turned around and left. Luo Liuyi looked at his back and his pretty face sank, and snorted, “Who is it!”

When Gu Wenjing received Luo Qingyi, the two left Luo’s house and returned to Gu’s house.

On the way back, Gu Wenjing asked if Luo Qingyi had been troubled by Luo Liuyi in the Luo family: “Your sister has a bad temper. You have such a good temper, because her husband is afraid that you will be bullied by your sister.”

Luo Qingyi blushed and said, “No, my sister is a little anxious, but she didn’t bully me.”

Looking at Luo Qingyi’s clear gaze, Gu Wenjing sighed slightly in his heart, what should I do if I marry a real white rabbit!

During the three days of getting along, Gu Wenjing certainly saw that Luo Qingyi’s temperament is really soft, and he always considers everything else for the sake of others, always thinking of giving in when he can give in. Her attitude towards his husband is also wholehearted attachment, taking her husband as heaven.

Such a soft woman, if she is married to an inhumane, she is afraid that she will be rubbed away by the consultations no matter how gentle and virtuous she is.

However, in the Gu family, Luo Qingyi’s temperament is actually very popular with Gu’s mother.

Gu’s mother was originally a tough-tempered woman. At the beginning, Gu’s father failed to succeed in the imperial examination, and the family’s money was exhausted, and she relied on her alone to support her. If she could not stand up, Gu’s family would have long been unable to survive.

She has a tough temper. If she meets a grumpy daughter-in-law, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must fight. But what she met was Luo Qingyi, a soft-tempered daughter-in-law who served her with a sincere and serious heart. She was not really a bad mother-in-law, so naturally she couldn’t bear to bully Luo Qingyi. The relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was pretty good.

Gu Wenjing feels that if Gu’s mother did not pass the original master’s examination and died after being admitted to the original master, Luo Liuyi just replaced Luo Qingyi to review the home, I’m afraid that Gu’s mother would be dismantled. This is a shrewd woman!
