After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 128 Gentle and Powerful

He used to think that it didn't matter where he lived, whether it was at home or in the academy, the place where he lived was just a temporary rest, good or bad, it was neither habit nor liking.

But it's different now, that small courtyard, the small courtyard where he has lived for a long time, seems to have become extremely cold after living without Su Xiaomu.

Gu Jingcheng didn't even want to go back to live at night. Su Xiaomu escaped overnight, but he didn't dare to face it in the next few nights.

For several days in a row, she huddled in this farm, so why didn't he hide with Master Wan for several days?

But people cannot always face problems negatively, they still have to face them no matter what.

It's only now that he realizes that Su Xiaomu has influenced him so much in silence.

If one day the two of them really want to separate...

Gu Jingcheng's mood became more and more gloomy.

"Probably I'm going back...I have something to ask you, you come here, we two have a good talk."

They were standing in this yard, and the two of them looked at each other from a long distance, which was not conducive to talking about something from the bottom of their hearts after all.

Leading him into the room, Su Xiaomu didn't shy away from letting him see the room full of wine. She went around behind the screen and changed into a new coat, opened the window to dissipate the smell of wine, and then sat opposite him and apologized to him. : "A friend came to me yesterday and had a few drinks with her."

"Ok, I know."

Gu Jingcheng nodded in response. He saw the Chen family's carriage outside just now.

At this moment, compared to usual, his air-conditioning has faded a little, and he has a little more human fireworks, which makes people feel a little naive.

With Gu Jingcheng's appearance, Su Xiaomu couldn't say a word that would make him feel unpleasant.

"At the beginning, you didn't want me to do business. Did you think that doing business would make people smell like copper, or did you think that businessmen had a low status, and students like you would look down on them?"

She doesn't care what other people think of her, and Gu Jingcheng certainly belongs to other people's category.

But since she wants to speak out all the words today, she must listen to what his true thoughts are deep in his heart.

Especially after reading his article last night, when Su Xiaomu looked at him now, he really felt an unreal sense of separation.

A person with vested interests like him will stand high above and overlook thousands of people in the future. Can he really see the poverty of the people at the bottom and the difficulties of women in the country?
Su Xiaomu really couldn't help but think about many issues, but at the same time she understood that in such a patriarchal society, it would be difficult for Gu Jingcheng to get any substantial benefits when speaking for women, and it might even be possible because of this The matter was rejected by other students.

There are not many benefits that Gu Jingcheng can get, but the disadvantages are already in front of him.

"No." Gu Jingcheng looked at her and shook his head, with a huge gentle light in his calm eyes, "I have never thought that doing business should be compared with being stained with money. Everyone in my court should have the opportunity to pursue what they want."

"Whether it's money or ideals, as long as you don't regret the decision you make in the end, then everything is worth it, and it's not enough to be criticized by others."

"A good one is not enough to be criticized by others!"

Su Xiaomu was really shocked by what he said!

Then Gu Jingcheng continued.

"There are many prejudices against women in this world. As a man, although I was born in a declining family, I have more opportunities to make a difference than ordinary women. I can be an official through the imperial examination, and I can earn money by working hard. No matter what, my strength is always stronger than that of ordinary women, and it is always easy to support myself."

He looked at Su Xiaomu's arm, the tiny part hidden in his clothes, even if it was him, it didn't take much effort to break it off.

It can be seen that not only do ordinary women have no chance to be successful, but they also have no good way to protect their own personal safety.

"Women are inherently weak. I'm only referring to strength. In this case, they deserve to be protected."

After Gu Jingcheng finished speaking, although his eyes were as calm as ever, without the slightest ups and downs, it was enough to make Su Xiaomu uneasy.

He talked about the past again: "I used to ask you for money, and I didn't want to get too involved with you. I was afraid that you would have unreasonable thoughts about me if we had too many contacts. You and I met by chance. If we have feelings I'm afraid of causing misunderstanding."

"So you think so." Su Xiaomu really felt that he should be dumbfounded at the moment.

It turned out that she was the one who had always been prejudiced against others, and thought that Gu Jingcheng was that idiot, but she was the only one who was stupid.

But Su Xiaomu couldn't help thinking why he was so smart in reading, but always lacking in dealing with people.

I don't know how to talk to her well. After reading so many books, I still always say something that makes people feel ambiguous.

Just when she wanted to remind him to be more careful when speaking in the future, Gu Jingcheng's stomach suddenly growled.

This cry, in an extremely calm and confined space, can be described as very explosive.

"Push!"

Forgive Su Xiaomu for having no patience, it's too funny to hold back.

"Hahahahaha, my aunt, cough cough..."

She almost burst into tears with laughter: "My aunt here cooks better than Aunt Zhao, I should have let you try her cooking, but just now she accompanied An Ning to wash up, so why not try my Yangchun noodle?"

There are ingredients for cooking in the kitchen. As long as Su Xiaomu is free these two days, he will cook some meals by himself.

When she is in a bad mood, she always likes to eat something delicious to soothe her wounded heart.

"Well, my pleasure."

Probably because the two of them made sense, Gu Jingcheng's speech became more popular than before.

The method of Yangchun noodles is very simple, Su Xiaomu took Gu Jingcheng to the kitchen, and talked to him while making it.

"A handful of fine noodles, half a bowl of high soup, a cup of water, five qian lard, a spoonful of soy sauce brewed by the villagers themselves, and then two crispy cabbages on top. This taste is beyond the reach of ordinary people. .”

Su Xiaomu put the prepared Yangchun noodles in front of Gu Jingcheng, if she was shocked by what he said just now, she didn't reply to him for a while.

Now, she was able to talk to Gu Jingcheng peacefully.

"Before eating noodles, I want to tell you something."

Su Xiaomu handed him the chopsticks, her eyes were soft, and her tone was firm: "If I said I was in a daze with you before, then now I know what you think about me, but I can't respond to you, and I can't promise you to do it." Your real daughter-in-law, at the moment, the only thing I want to do is to be able to settle down in the country and have real reliance."

"It must... depends on... that's all." Gu Jingcheng stirred the noodles in the bowl, smelling the aroma of Yangchun noodles with his nose, his brows gradually relaxed, "Can we stop talking about divorce before the imperial examination?"

"Everything will wait until you finish the exam. Anyway, we are both very busy now. We live together in Fucheng, so we can take care of each other."

Su Xiaomu was still a little afraid that if too much talk about the two of them would affect his exam.

Gu Jingcheng has paid so much for the imperial examination, and now his future is in sight, so of course he can't be ruined because of these small loves.
