Ma Yong looked determined. He didn't even care about foreigners or anything, and the governor couldn't persuade him anymore.
"Forget it, forget it! In the final analysis, this marriage is your own business. If you really don't want to, then forget it."
"However, brother, I still advise you to think more about it. These young foreign students are naturally arrogant and squeamish, so it is inevitable."
"You are a grown man after all. If you are more tolerant and pampering, won't the matter be solved?"
"When the time comes, you can have your lovely wife in your arms and still be able to deal with foreigners. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
The warlord was unwilling to give in after all.
He said "Forget it", but as he said it, he persuaded me.
Ma Yong could only show a tangled and painful expression again.
He is in trouble!
He can’t bear to let foreign students go!
but--
A flash of determination flashed through his eyes again, and Ma Yong waved his hand feebly, "Brother, let's forget it."
"I can see it, little brother, but I don't have that fate!"
"From now on, my little brother will be the same as before. If I follow you, my eldest brother, there will always be a little brother to eat."
"Brother, you won't ignore me, right?"
When he said the last sentence, Ma Yong actually sounded a bit rogue.
Of course, you can also say that people regard the governor as a brother and a member of the family.
Governor, his family, and the army, the dark light in his eyes flashed away.
He raised his hand, stretched out an index finger and tapped it in the air, "You, you! You are so brave, I owe you!"
"Hey, who made you my eldest brother?"
"roll!"
"okay!"
Ma Yong rolled away happily. His slutty look was nowhere near the dignity of Commander Ma.
The warlord smiled and cursed at Ma Yong's back, "You are so bold, I really owed you in my last life..."
However, when Ma Yong's back disappeared, the warlord's smile disappeared instantly. His face was like water, and he fell into deep thought.
As for Ma Yong, he kept smiling as he got into the car.
After closing the car door and rolling up the window, his face became cold.
"Go to Nanxin Street!"
Nanxin Street is the location of the small courtyard where Gu Qingcheng rents.
The two top soldiers watched Gu Qingcheng rent a house and go back to resume their duties.
They did not report Gu Qingcheng's chatting and laughing with foreigners, but they told the adjutant the address of Gu Qingcheng's rented house.
Adjutant Dong was Ma Yong's confidant, so he naturally responded truthfully.
"yes!"
The driver agreed, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out.
…
On the other side, Gu Qingcheng left the racecourse with Li Yaozong, while Wang Dali kept guard outside.
Seeing the mother and son coming out, he quickly stood up, pulled the rickshaw and greeted them.
"Ms. Gu, are you done? Is everything going well? Shall we go home directly now?"
Wang Dali slapped the car seat with a towel and asked Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
"Good luck! Let's go home!"
Gu Qingcheng spoke concisely and to the point. After Wang Dali finished wiping the car seat, he pulled Li Yaozong into the car.
Seeing that mother and son were seated, Wang Dali pulled up the rickshaw and started running quickly.
Half an hour later, the group returned to Nanxin Street.
As soon as he entered the alley, Gu Qingcheng saw smoke coming from the house. ….
It should be Mrs. Wang who is cooking.
Gu Qingcheng glanced at Wang Dali, who was pulling the cart hard in front, and was secretly satisfied: This couple are both hard-working and reliable people.
However, both of them have their own goals. If they want to settle down in the provincial capital, they probably won't sell themselves into slavery.
Uh, okay, although Gu Qingcheng came to the Republic of China, she was an ancient native at heart.
She had no objection at all to the buying and selling of slaves.
She will not believe in the words "all men are created equal" from the bottom of her heart like the heroine Han Qiuyu who travels through the book.
equality?
Haha, people are never equal.
She, Gu Qingcheng, was born into a noble family, with rich clothes, fine food, and luxurious enjoyment.
And some people have been slaves since they landed.
Gu Qingcheng was born into a noble family, but he had an ugly appearance.
But her half-brothers and sisters all have outstanding looks.
Although Gu Qingcheng is ugly, she is also talented and has a photographic memory.
But her cousins, cousins, etc., are many stupid people.
...In this world, from ancient times to the present, there has never been absolute fairness and equality!
In this fictional Republic of China, which advocates freedom, democracy, and progress, there are still too many injustices.
Slaves, concubines, etc. still exist.
Gu Qingcheng is also used to being served by others, so in her opinion, as long as she has the ability, she can still make slaves call her maids and support them.
"Wang Dali and his wife probably won't be willing to sell themselves. It's better to find someone with a more stable relationship, buy a mother-in-law, and then a maid."
Gu Qingcheng was thinking secretly.
"Ms. Gu, you're home!"
Wang Dali stopped the car, wiped his sweat with the towel hanging around his neck, and said to Gu Qingcheng with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!"
Gu Qingcheng thanked her habitually, and then pulled Li Yaozong out of the car.
After entering the house, there were indeed four steaming dishes and one soup placed on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.
Gu Qingcheng was born in the Gu family of Wu County, a proper southerner.
Therefore, she prefers to eat japonica rice.
She specifically told Mrs. Wang and gave her money to buy rice and steam rice.
Sister-in-law Wang is very conscientious. Although she is not very good at making rice, she went to a neighbor from the south next door to learn from her.
At noon, she steamed a pot of fragrant rice with crispy rice.
"What's this?"
Gu Qingcheng has never seen Guo Ba.
Well, there is no other way. She is a noble girl from a noble family, she is particular about everything, and her elders and parents also pamper her.
The rice she eats is always the best and softest.
Guoba and other things looked "indecent", and the slaves didn't dare to present them at all.
Therefore, this was the first time for Gu Qingcheng to see Guoba.
"Crispy rice! I heard that it tastes really good if you soak it in soup!"
Mrs. Wang wiped her hands with her apron and said with a smile, "I specifically asked Mrs. Xu next door. She is from West Lake, a famous land of plenty."
I am the best at making rice.
"okay!"
Gu Qingcheng tried to taste it, and not to mention, the crispy rice was actually more delicious than rice.
Li Yaozong also ate a bowl, and the little guy was very satisfied.
In the morning, Li Yaozong was very quiet at the racecourse. ….
Deep down in his heart, he was still a little scared.
He also knew that his mother had brought him to this strange provincial capital and needed to establish a firm foothold.
Mom is working very hard.
Several times, he was woken up by urine in the middle of the night, and he could always see the burning kerosene lamp in the main room and the figure studying at his desk.
Outsiders can't see A-Niang's efforts, but they just think it's a bit magical that a woman from the countryside can still understand so much.
However, Li Yaozong knew that A Niang had made such obvious progress because of her hard work in studying.
With A Niang’s hard work, Li Yaozong became more sensible——
I can't help my mother, so I will be obedient and not hold her back.
Gu Qingcheng naturally noticed Li Yaozong's change.
She was very pleased that children must learn to grow up.
The process may not be too wonderful, but it is better to learn it early than to suffer later.
Just like that Li Yaozu, Li Jiye's most precious son.
He was pampered by his family since he was a child, and when he grew up, he took a lot of money and ran abroad.
He did learn some skills, but he was also spoiled.
Disobeying his father's orders and showing no responsibility.
The newlywed ran away and trapped his first wife.
After escaping, he deliberately disappeared and refused to contact his family...
Tsk, tsk, unfilial, unkind, unkind, unjust, this is the kind of person I'm talking about.
Such a selfish and coldhearted person may be able to live a good life because he is shameless enough.
However, there is a greater probability that he will have a miserable ending.
Because he was spoiled, and the people outside were not Li Jiye and would not let him or indulge him.
Not to mention, there is also the heroine Han Qiuyu who wears books.
Gu Qingcheng carefully recalled the outline of the story he had seen. It seemed to mention that after Han Qiuyu became successful, he met Li Yaozu again.
There should be some "love and hatred" between them.
Of course, these are all things for later, and have nothing to do with Gu Qingcheng and her son.
Gu Qingcheng updated Li Yaozong.
In the Li family, Li Yaozong was also very favored, and the original owner Gu Sanniang valued the child extremely.
Fortunately, there is a more favored Li Yaozong. Li Yaozong is not the only one after all, so he is not completely spoiled.
Now that Gu Qingcheng has taken over Li Yaozong's cheap son, he will teach him well.
Teaching by words and deeds, Gu Qingcheng would cultivate Li Yaozong into a talented person even if he didn't guide him deliberately.
After dinner, Gu Qingcheng coaxed Li Yaozong to take a nap.
After Li Yaozong fell asleep, Gu Qingcheng started reading books and newspapers again.
She has exchanged books several times with Editor Zhao, Mr. Xu and others next door, and she has a deeper and more detailed understanding of this world and this era.
The collection of books by Editor Zhao and Mr. Xu can no longer satisfy Gu Qingcheng.
"It seems that I need to find time to go to the bookstore."
"Mr. Xu also mentioned that there is a library in the university hall with a lot of books."
Gu Qingcheng thought to herself while flipping through the book.
Bang! Bang bang!
A heavy knock on the door suddenly rang.
Gu Qingcheng stood up and came to the yard. Through the gate, she asked, "Who is it?"
"Haha, it's me, Ma Yong!"
Ma Yong smiled and shouted.
Neighbors on the left and right heard the noise and stuck their heads out.
Then, they were shocked to find a car parked at Ms. Gu's door.
There was also a man dressed as a soldier, standing at the door and knocking on the door.
Judging from the man's clothes and demeanor, he didn't look like a big-headed soldier, but rather like a commander.
"Huh? Didn't you say that Gu is from the countryside? I haven't heard that she has any relatives in the provincial capital."
"Hmph, I think she is just restless and wears this veil on purpose. She looks seductive and does not look like her."
"Isn't this person here to cause trouble for Ms. Gu?"
"What, Wang Dali, you still want to rush over and help? Humph, really, if you buy a rickshaw, you will become a figure?"
"Old lady, I didn't provoke you, did I? Why do you talk like this?"
The speakers were Wang Dali and his landlord, the old lady who looked mean.
She lives up to her looks and is truly a top-notch person.
When they first met, she was really intimidated by Gu Qingcheng's aura and didn't dare to babble in front of her.
But secretly, the old lady always wanted to make fun of Gu Qingcheng and deliberately spread some rumors.
Huoshui: ...Hey, I always meet the best. Isn't this the treatment of a heroine? Why did Gu Qingcheng also meet her? .
