Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 184 Gu Zhong
In the other courtyard of the Ji family.

Qiao Lianlian carefully placed the little girl on the bed, tucked in the mattress for her, and then walked out in peace.

All the brothers and sisters of the Gu family stood outside with a heavy expression on their faces.

Although Qiao Lianlian was not sent to the Jingzhao Mansion, what happened just now still left the children with lingering fears.

The capital is indeed not comparable to Anyang County.

In this city, there are nobles everywhere, and they cannot be messed with.

A civilian without status is doomed to behave cautiously with his tail between his legs.

Qiao Lianlian also understood this truth. She pursed her lips, rubbed the heads of the children, and comforted them, "Don't be afraid, the emperor must respect the law at his feet. As long as we don't make mistakes and abide by our duties, no one can do anything to us." .”

Gu Cheng raised his head slightly, with a solemn expression, did not speak, but secretly told himself in his heart that he must protect the stepmother safe and sound.

"Okay, don't think about it." Qiao laughed again and again, "Let's think about it first. Cheng'er has already gone to Chinese studies, so what should Zhong'er and Lou'er do?"

There are three boys in the family, the eldest is promising, but the two younger ones have not yet been settled.

"Why don't I recommend one." A voice came from the door.

Qiao Lianlian and the others turned their heads together and saw Jiang Baiyin walking over with a bag of things.

"Boss Jiang." Qiao smiled again and again, "What a rare visitor, why are you here? Are you busy with the Jiang family's affairs?"

In the past few days when Gu Cheng took the national studies exam, Qiao Lian went to Toshido Hall several times, but he never saw Jiang Baiyin.

She inquired with the boy from Toshido Hall, only to find out that Jiang's family knew that Jiang Baiyin was back and called him back.

Although Jiang Baiyin was unwilling to take over the family business, he was still a descendant of the Jiang family after all, so there was no reason for the elders to avoid him, so he could only go back.

As a result, he didn't show his face for nearly ten days.

"Don't talk about it." Jiang Baiyin showed a wry smile, "I have spent these few days at Jiang's house... really, life is better than death."

Qiao Lianlian was a little confused at first, looked Jiang Baiyin up and down, and suddenly smiled knowingly.

That's right, Jiang Baiyin is 24-[-] years old. Although he is very young in modern times, in this dynasty, he can be the father of a ten-year-old child.

The elders of the Jiang family should also be anxious about his marriage.

The matter of urging marriage is unavoidable in any era.

"The elders of the Jiang family are also doing it for your own good." Qiao repeatedly tried to persuade him out of good intentions, "Sometimes you might as well listen to it, maybe you will get something unexpected."

Jiang Baiyin's smile disappeared instantly.

He stared at Qiao Lianlian seriously, "Do you know what my elders are trying to persuade me?"

Qiao was stunned again and again, "Isn't it a reminder to get married and let you start a family early?"

Jiang Baiyin's expression became more serious.

What Qiao Lianlian said was actually not wrong. The elders of the Jiang family indeed asked him to go back and start a family. They even arranged for the official daughter to meet him.

It's not that Jiang Baiyin has never encountered such persecution before, and most of them just smiled and perfunctory.

But this time, thinking of Qiao Lianlian's calm smile, he suddenly felt irritable, and rarely talked back to the elders of the Jiang family.

For this reason, the head of the Jiang family was angered, and he was locked up at home for seven or eight days before being released.

Jiang Baiyin ran to Ji's other courtyard as soon as he was free, but was teased by her as soon as they met.

Although he knew that Qiao Lianlian was not malicious, he still felt short of breath.

"You don't understand at all." Jiang Bai said a word sullenly.

Qiao Lian became more and more astonished.

She, what doesn't she understand?

"You really don't understand." Jiang Baiyin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, his emotions had calmed down, "But it doesn't matter, you can wait if you don't understand."

"Boss Jiang, have you encountered any medical problems?" Qiao was confused again and again.

Jiang Baiyin smiled slightly, "It's okay, I mean, I know there is a good private school, maybe I can let a few children go to school there."

Qiao Lianlian's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't care about what Jiang Baiyin said before, and his thoughts were completely on the private school.

There are two brats at home.

Gu Lou is not good at literature, but he is good at martial arts, and he didn't lose anything when he followed Bi Song and Jiang Chun.

Gu Zhong had no one to teach him, although this child was talented and he was already familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics by relying on what Gu Cheng taught at home every day, but Gu Cheng had limited energy after all.

Qiao Lianlian didn't want his eldest son to be so tired.

"Which private school is it? Is the master talented? Are there any requirements for admission?" She asked one question after another, which shows that she cares about the children from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Baiyin was also patient, and said in a gentle voice, "The National Academy is for students above the scholar, but in order to select students and cultivate outstanding children, there is also a small academy set up to teach children under the age of ten. People in the capital call it It is a small national study."

Although Xiao Guoxue can't go directly to Guo Academy, but the children who can enter Xiao Guoxue will basically have a good future.

"As for the admission requirements, it's quite simple. You just need to write a poem." Jiang Baiyin said, "Every year, the masters of Xiaoguoxue will be asked to write poems with different themes. As long as they can meet the standard, they can be admitted to Xiaoguoxue." "

It doesn't look difficult, but it's actually very difficult, because judging a poem is entirely based on personal preference, good or bad is completely a matter of one thought.

It's not bad if you pass the exam, but if you fail the exam, I don't know if it will hurt the child's confidence.

Maybe it's better to go to an ordinary private school, at least 100% can be enrolled.

Qiao glanced at Gu Zhong again and again, feeling a little uncertain.

Who knew that at this moment, the usually taciturn fourth boy suddenly clenched his fists, raised his head and said loudly, "Mom, I'm going."

Qiao Lianlian was startled for a moment, and his eyes widened.

"Mother, I'm going, I want to study hard, I want to be a high official, I want to protect my mother, and I won't let my mother be bullied again." He bit his lower lip, his fair face flushed red whether it was anger or shame.

Qiao looked at him blankly, his lips moved slightly, and the tip of his nose was sore.

What a big deal, she opened her mouth, but tears rolled down before she could say anything.

How could her children be so well-behaved, so filial, and so distressing.

What a big boy, she bent down and hugged the four boys, choked up and said, "Good boy, mother knows you are a good boy, but mother still hopes that for yourself, whether it is learning literature or martial arts, becoming an official or wandering wild cranes, you must live up to yourself first." like life, you know?"

It is not easy for a person to live in this world for decades, and everything he does should be for his own joy.

Not for anyone else.

Qiao repeatedly hoped that several of her children could live for themselves.

But little Gu Zhong obviously didn't understand, he just blushed, hugged Qiao Lianlian's neck, and repeated, "I won't let anyone bully you again."

Absolutely not.
