Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu deliberately picked a time to go to the Zhuangyuan Building to watch Gu Huaijin.

Gu Jingyun has seen the portraits of Gu Huaijin, it should be said that he has seen portraits of people who need him to see and recognize, even though they looked like more than ten years ago.

The Gu Huaijin that my uncle painted was Gu Huaijin fourteen years ago. In the portrait, he has blazing eyes and a beautiful tree facing the wind. Anyone who has seen the portrait will think that he is a worthy young talent. Even if my uncle has a prejudice against him, he does not Did not vilify him.

Today, Gu Jingyun sat in the box on the second floor of the Zhuangyuan Building, and saw the real person condescendingly.

Gu Huaijin was only thirty-eight years old, and he was in the prime of life. At this time, he got off the carriage in white clothes, raised his head and smiled warmly at the students standing in front of the restaurant, and was ushered into the restaurant with a gentle temper.

Gu Jingyun watched him enter the restaurant with complicated eyes, then lowered his eyes and took a sip of the tea in his hand.

"You are not like him at all," Li Baolu said honestly, "except that you like to wear white clothes."

Gu Jingyun is obsessed with cleanliness, so he likes to wear soapy white clothes. Li Baolu's hands hurt from washing clothes every day.

"We are father and son. In order to maintain this similarity, it seems that I have to wear white clothes more."

Li Baolu glared at him.

Gu Jingyun pulled her up and said, "Go, go and see what our Gu Tanhua is doing in Zhuangyuan Building."

Gu Huaijin came to Zhuangyuan Building to talk about poetry and fu. Moreover, he is Tanhua, and he has been working in the Imperial Academy. He should not be too knowledgeable. He can not only help the students here answer some questions, but also help them review articles.

Because of Gu Huaijin's approachability, he is very popular in Zhuangyuan Building. He never needs to spend money to come here. There are students rushing to pay for him, and even some people prepare expensive gifts just to get his advice.

Gu Lekang is so popular among scholars not only because of his family background, his intelligence, but also because he has a father who is a good teacher.

Gu Jingyun stood on the second floor and watched Gu Huaijin surrounded by a crowd of stars. Many people took articles or poems and asked him for advice.

Gu Huaijin didn't seem to mind the noisy voices around her at all. She accepted the student's articles with a good temper, read them carefully, and then commented on them. Some even gave guidance.

After watching for a long time, not only Gu Jingyun, but also Li Baolu noticed something was wrong, she said: "He enjoys it very much."

Gu Jingyun tilted his head slightly, substituting it in. Although he didn't dislike others asking him questions, he would definitely be annoyed if the scene was so noisy and disorderly. What's more, what's the enjoyment of answering questions for others?

It's not as interesting as talking with your own hand.

"He enjoys the feeling of being needed and admired by others!" Li Baolu concluded.

Gu Jingyun was startled when he heard the words, and then he sneered for a while, and said with a cold light in his eyes: "Extremely stupid, if he didn't treat his mother like that, how could he have fallen to this point?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went downstairs. Why should he be so careful to guard against such a person who needs compliments to find his own value?

Gu Jingyun was sad and angry, he no longer hid and covered up, and went downstairs with anger.

Li Baolu hurriedly followed, reached the first floor and directly stuffed a piece of silver into Xiaoer's arms, before she had time to change the money, she caught up with Gu Jingyun and grabbed his hand.

Gu Huaijin happened to turn his head to look this way, and saw Gu Jingyun's side face and figure, and couldn't help but pause for a moment. When he wanted to look seriously, he had already left the restaurant, and the students beside him were still waiting for his comment. Gu Huaijin Busily put away his thoughts, turned his head and smiled at the student, and read the article with restraint.

Gu Jingyun pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were burning, because of his anger, he couldn't help but quicken his pace, and his hands were still tightly grasping Li Baolu's.

Li Baolu followed him step by step, even though her hand was pinched, she didn't say a word, and walked forward with him.

Gu Jingyun walked for a long time, his anger gradually dissipated, and then he felt tired, Li Baolu quickly supported him, and said softly: "Let's go home."

After a while, Gu Jingyun responded lightly, and asked Li Baolu to help him move forward.

After returning home, Li Baolu immediately ground almonds to make tea for him. Gu Jingyun sat by the window and watched the setting sun outside and said, "Actually, I would rather he be more capable. Even if we are destined to be enemies, I don't want him to be so miserable. Stupid, that's my biological father!"

Li Baolu moved her chair and leaned against the window to look at him. She knew that he just wanted someone she could trust to listen to him.

"Great-grandfather was the elder of the three dynasties, and was once one of the four great Tuogu ministers. There are many old stories in the court. Later, in order not to hinder the future of the uncle, the great-grandfather retired. Now all the officials in the court for more than 20 years are Zeng. Grandfather's disciples are old, and most of the retired officials worked under his great-grandfather. These are the contacts of the Qin family! Although my grandfather did not serve as an official, he was a teacher of Songshan Academy, and later became the head of the mountain. Guozijian has to hire grandfather to be a professor, and his students are all over the government and the public, not to mention the twelve disciples he has accepted, which one of them is an idler?" Gu Jingyun sneered: "He thought that his uncle had offended the Qin family, so he fell. Is it? The Qin family's deep connections and grandfather's students can't save uncle, but it's so easy to promote one person or suppress one person."

Gu Jingyun's eyes shone brightly and said: "Letting him stay in the Hanlin Academy forever to edit the first and fifth ranks is just a matter of a letter from my uncle. You see, even if my uncle is exiled to Qiongzhou, he can still control his fate, while he You can only find a sense of accomplishment from the students in the Zhuangyuan Building."

Li Baolu was speechless.

Gu Jingyun was a little sad, not because of Gu Huaijin's unfeeling towards him, nor because of his uncle's plot against his father, but because his father was so stupid.

After so many years, didn't he see the tricks? How dare you take it with you in the Imperial Academy.

The former head of the Hanlin Academy was Chen Tong's father, and Chen Tong was his uncle's classmate and friend, while the current head of the Imperial Academy was a student of his grandfather, who came from a poor family. He was able to study at Songshan Academy all thanks to his grandfather's support. In addition, there is also Huang Wei, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Gu Huaijin's immediate boss, who is in the same department as his uncle. He hit it off with his uncle when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam.

How confident is Gu Huaijin in herself if she wants to stand out in such a working environment?

Or, how stupid was he to not see this?

If Gu Jingyun were him, in order to get rid of the control of the Qin family, he would have to give up his position in the Imperial Academy, and either seek to be sent abroad, or he would abandon his pen and join the army.

But it has been fourteen years, and he is still doing a five-rank compilation in the Imperial Academy.

Gu Jingyun was thankful that his enemy was weak enough, and then he was complicated with resentment and resentment.

No wonder the uncle was only worried about the Gu family using their status to oppress him, and not worried about the Gu family's other means.

Gu Jingyun felt uncomfortable for a moment and then let go. Gu Huaijin felt that he was just a stranger by blood. Thinking of his cousin who was about to be born in Qiongzhou, he immediately cheered up, "I will go see Li An when I recover from my injury."

"Are you going to help him take the throne?"

Gu Jingyun nodded his head lightly, and said softly: "This is the fastest way to rehabilitate at present."

"But the emperor is still alive, who knows when the prince and the others will win?"

"The emperor is almost sixty..." What's more, it's man-made, he doesn't mind instigating Li An to raise troops to force the palace, as long as the crown prince or Li An can become emperor, but don't tell Baolu about such cruel things.

"That's not sure, what if he can live to seventy or eighty?" Li Baolu felt that it would be better for them to kill him if he hoped that the emperor would die himself.

For example, he vomits blood when he is angry twice in three days, or he can imitate Li Shimin's change of Xuanwu Gate or something.

Li Baolu glanced at Gu Jingyun cautiously, did not dare to tell him such a rebellious method, so as not to teach the children badly.

The young couple were silent at the same time, Qiqi lay on the window watching the sunset and the moon slowly appearing...

Before Gu Jingyun could find Li An, Li An did.

His father, His Royal Highness wants to meet Gu Jingyun.

And he also wants to cooperate further with Gu Jingyun. During the time they met, they got along quite happily. Although this child looks proud, he is not arrogant, and he has a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. He likes to tease him the most.

So he came to ask Gu Jingyun if he would like to do it with him.

Gu Jingyun was silent for a while before saying: "I don't want to be an assistant."

Li An asked with a smile, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't we tentatively decide on a cooperative relationship." Gu Jingyun said: "To become an official, I don't need to be a dragon. I can slowly climb up after the imperial examination. What I am eager to do is for me The matter of rehabilitating my uncle, and you have to ensure the succession status of the Prince’s Mansion, the two are interlinked, as long as you promise to rehabilitate my uncle as soon as I have the ability, and let them return to Beijing.”

Li An said solemnly: "Even if you don't mention it, we will do this. Mr. Qin has suffered from us."

"Then let's work hard to ensure the inheritance of the Prince's Mansion." Gu Jingyun took a sip of almond tea from his teacup and said, "Your strongest enemy now is the emperor, followed by the fourth prince..."

Gu Jingyun never thought that the Fourth Prince was the greatest enemy of the Prince's Mansion. Although the reason for the collapse of the Prince's Mansion was the frame-up of the Fourth Prince and Concubine Lan, but in the absence of sufficient evidence, it was ultimately because of the Emperor.

So their biggest enemy is the emperor!

It's his eccentricity, it's his longevity!

Of course, Gu Jingyun would not let his grandson kill his grandfather, but just told him that he wanted to increase the emperor's favorability, change the courtiers' views on the relationship between the emperor and the prince's mansion, and then make the emperor's grudge against the fourth prince deepen, and completely cut off the fourth prince. way...

Gu Jingyun doesn't have the idea of ​​imperial power, he doesn't fear Li An, and naturally he doesn't respect the emperor he regards as an enemy, so most of his ideas are bold and risky, but they are very novel, and the effect can be seen during analysis.

Even though he knew that was wrong, Li An couldn't help being moved.

Li Baolu was sitting on the doorstep grinding walnuts and almonds. Gu Jingyun couldn't drink tea now, so she ground walnuts and almonds for him to drink as tea, which was nutritious and healthy.
