At this time, Gu Ao was eating, Tian Rong suddenly said: "I just remembered, just now an old woman came to send you a letter, saying it was from Young Master Huai."

Gu Ao said, "Oh? Where is it?"

Tian Rong got up and handed the letter to Gu Ao, Gu Ao shook the letter, and saw a piece of silk cloth cut squarely, with scrawled and scattered writing on it:

"Brother Gu Xunqi: Fang Wen heard that the head of the academy will accept the closed disciples. It is Brother Gu. Congratulations! However, I have something to say, and I can't express it. Although the reputation of talented scholars in the world is getting higher and higher, but the law does not follow, the etiquette It has been more than a hundred years since Le collapsed, and in this world, just when dragons are diving in the wild, quietly studying and meditating, waiting for something to be done. Brother Ao is not happy to be an official, but is happy to go to school, and my heart is very comforting."

After Gu Ao finished reading, he immediately answered the letter by holding a candle in front of the desk, and went out to recruit a servant of the academy to send it to Huai Xin: "Why do those who aspire to the world follow the temple? Where is it not a place of peace of mind? Where is it not for the world? Be determined to plead for the lives of the living people? I am fortunate to have the opportunity, and I hope to work with Brother Huai to make the most of what I can't."

After delivering the letter, Gu Ao also thought of something, went back to his room and said to Tian Rong: "You and I have worshiped as a teacher now, write a letter and go back to Tianjiazhuang to say good news to our family."

Tian Rong said: "That's exactly what I think, but I'm not good at writing, Brother Gu is brilliant, why don't you write for me?"

Gu Ao nodded, not polite to Tian Rong, and said: "Okay."

After finishing the pen, Gu Ao immediately wrote the letter back home. In the letter, Tian Song, the eldest son of Tian's eldest son, was specially asked to read the letter to Gu Ben after reading it.After collecting the silk cloth and tying it in a pouch, the two discussed: "I will have someone send it out tomorrow morning."

----

Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Ao sent someone to deliver the letter, so he went to see Huai Xin in the bamboo forest. As soon as Huai Xin saw Gu Ao, he sat on the boulder and smiled, "Brother Ao, the matter of the Yizheng Hall was really a blessing in disguise. I I saw Mr. Yun running over in a hurry before, and I was a little worried about you, but unfortunately I am disabled and can't get close to crowded places, otherwise I would like to see Brother Gu's demeanor!"

When Gu Ao heard the words, he saw that there seemed to be a glint of expression on Huai Xin's originally pale and weak face, so he couldn't help curling his lips and said: "Brother Huai, you are teasing me!"

Huai Xin smiled and said nothing.He had heard about what happened in the Yizheng Hall that day, and he did not misread how Gu Ao behaved, but he missed something...

Gu Ao is simple and straightforward, although at first glance, it seems that it always gives people a worry that "the wood is beautiful and the wind in the forest will destroy it", but it is not the case.How bad the situation was before, Mr. Yun misunderstood him, his roommate Tian betrayed him, the aristocratic family of Shanyun Academy rejected him, and Master Qi even wanted to use this to defile his teacher... But there are so many unbearable things, after Gu Ao's turmoil , but they were resolved one by one.

Huai Xin also knew from this that in Gu Ao's body, besides the word 'Jian', there was also the word 'Forbearance'.If Gu Ao had been furious because of Mr. Yun's misunderstanding and the betrayal of his roommate Tian, ​​or tried to defend himself so that the cracks existed first. shock?

A man of virtue will be blessed by heaven.Could it be that this is what you said?

Huai Xin couldn't help thinking to herself.

When Yun Ang came to bring him meals yesterday, Huai Xin's expression could be seen clearly. After this battle, Gu Ao not only did not suffer from all sides, but also got Yun Ang's heart and Liao Quji's exhaustion at the same time. Tian Rong's gratitude, Mr. Shan Yunzi's rescue, the attention of many masters and scholars in the academy...

Originally, I only knew that Gu Ao was showing his sharpness, but now it seems that he still has a lucky face!

Maybe it's the companionship these days that makes Huai Xin really regard Gu Ao as a confidant; maybe it's Gu Ao's good character, which makes me admire, but now Huai Xin is really thinking about the future for Gu Ao.

Since he can become a student of Shanyunzi, it is not difficult to become an official, but what is difficult is what to do in the future... Once he is included in the roster of the head disciples of Shanyun Academy, families from all over the world and even the capital will scramble to win him over.Huai Xin is not afraid that Gu Ao will succumb to the power of the powerful, but he is afraid that Gu Ao will be so favored in the future, he will develop arrogance and lose his original firmness and simplicity.

Huai Xin didn't know why, but suddenly felt such a worry... He felt that Gu Ao seemed to have been too obedient since he was a child. Congratulations, but actually alert, I don't know if Gu Ao understood.

Huai Xin raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Ao in front of her. Seeing Gu Ao blinking and looking at herself, she couldn't help but said to herself, "... Alas, so what if you understand it, so what if you don't? If you understand it, you can see it naturally. I can understand it, and those who don’t understand it will naturally not understand it. I have done my best as a friend, and the rest of the matter is beyond my control..."

What Huai Xin didn't know was that Gu Ao grew up under the pressure of his master Jian Pu since he was a child. He could bear more humiliation on his shoulders and more praise on his back... Huai Xin only now sees Gu Ao's heart. But Jian Pu had already scolded Tian Song in the Tian family school where he met Gu Ao for the first time: "Everyone in the world can control disloyalty and filial piety, let alone me", when he was far away, It can be clearly seen that after several years of tempering and forging with thunderous means, Gu Ao has already been pressed out of a vajra backbone.

Seeing Huai Xin looking at him calmly, Gu Ao said: "I received the letter yesterday, according to Brother Huai's intention, isn't it time to do something now?"

"Brother Gu Nai, you live up to my expectations." Huai Xin smiled inwardly, and said, "It's certainly not."

Although Gu Ao could probably guess what Huai Xin wanted to say, he still hoped to hear his own opinion, so he asked, "Why?"

Huai Xin said: "...the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister. The emperor has ruled the world with his title for a long time, and he does not value divine weapons, but lures the family with profit. Such a worldly style, how can we use up the talents of the ancient brother?"

Gu Ao understood the meaning behind Huai Xin's words, and said, "Brother Huai is over-rewarding. I don't have any talent, but I am just seeking to stretch myself."

Huai Xin squinted her eyes and nodded slightly: "...Exactly."

"Brother Huai is really a friend."

"I dare not, but I dare not forget a clear heart of seeking loyalty for my friends."

This day, Gu Ao chatted with Huai Xin for a while, seeing the sun rising in the sky, he bid farewell to Huai Xin.He went down the mountain from the same road yesterday, came to the gate of Chen Village, followed the behavior of the old man at that time, beat the gongs and drums for a while, and then walked to the Chen Family Village School by himself.

Dian did not know who came first, the heavy footsteps shook the sky, he was panting like a cow, and the force of pushing the door almost knocked down the door panel: "...you...you are still a promise-keeper! Did not run!"

Gu Ao stood in the room quietly looking at Dian Bushi, and said: "Why, you think I won't come today?"

Dian Bushi chuckled, and said in a rough voice, "I'm looking forward to your coming!" Then he glanced at Gu Ao: "...but I'm afraid you won't come!"

Gu Ao also laughed and said, "Why are you afraid that I won't come?"

"Aren't all the masters in the past like this? Besides, you don't live in the village, and you haven't been trained. The agreement between you and Uncle Chen is just a word of mouth."

"Shouldn't one be a man who speaks well and promises a thousand gold?" Gu Ao raised his eyebrows.

Seeing what Gu Ao said, Dian Bushi couldn't help thinking of his father who was full of heroism, and couldn't help sighing: "It should be so! But the world is not like this!"

"You also said yesterday that I am different from those people on the mountain..." Gu Ao laughed at his ignorance, and deliberately teased him: "Why do you confuse me with them again?"

Dian Bushi didn't notice Gu Ao's teasing intention at all, he quickly raised his thick palm and slapped his head: "You should be hit! You should be hit! You are indeed different from them!"

It turned out that on this day, Dian Bushi used the resettlement funds donated by Gu Ao to buy goat milk for his younger siblings, and exchanged the game for rice. He cooked meals early in the morning and packed them in small wooden boxes. , took them to Aunt Chen's house, and begged her to take care of the children.

When I walked to the door, I met Aunt Chen's nephew, who was also a boy of twelve or thirteen years old.When Aunt Chen's nephew saw Dian Buzhi coming aggressively with a bamboo basket on his back, his face was full of ferociousness, and he walked like a tiger, he couldn't help but his face turned ashen with fear, and his eyes were full of fear.

Glancing at Aunt Chen's nephew, Dian Bushi was annoyed at seeing such a cowardly look, so he breathed out with his nose.

Dian didn't know that he didn't know, when he got upset, his thick eyebrows frowned, showing a more menacing look.Aunt Chen's nephew saw him, and when he was five feet away from Dian, he began to shiver.Dian Bushi saw it in his eyes, he was out of breath for a moment, he stretched out his hand to pick up a nearby wooden stick and wanted to hit it, just as he raised his hand, Aunt Chen's nephew ran away in fright, While running, weeping and howling: "The corpse picker is going to beat people again! It doesn't count if Ke died his parents! He still wants to beat the villagers!"

Dian didn't know how to throw away the wooden stick, and thought angrily: Is he really so terrible?

Aunt Chen saw it in the house, and shouted: "Little Dian! If you beat the old sister and nephew again, the old sister will not help you take care of the younger siblings!"

Dian didn't know the leopard's head and tiger's eyes and turned his face. The ferocity on his face shocked Aunt Chen, but he heard him say in a low voice: "Who told him to run away when he saw me? He also treats me as an outsider." Nah!"

Aunt Chen thought to herself first: "You are indeed an outsider! Although we take care of you all the time, you have a foreign surname after all!" Seeing that Dian didn't know the look of a man with furious brows, she couldn't help sighing: "Hey! ! Who told you to hit him? If you didn't hit him, how could he run away?"

Dian Bushi said convincingly: "Hey! His legs are shaking, and it looks like he wants to run, so I want to hit him."

Aunt Chen was also angry at the moment, and said, "Little brat, are you reasonable? Who in this village sees that you don't look like a dead star, and run away?"

Dian Bushi thought for a while, and argued with his thick neck: "Then why didn't that little master run away yesterday, isn't he also a boy?"

Aunt Chen gave Dian Bushi a heartbroken look: "Can Mr. Gu be the same? It is said that Mr. Gu came from the academy on the mountain, so can he be the same as the children in the village?!"

Dian didn't know that everyone in the village called Gu Ao "Mr. Gu", and only the elders called him "Mr. Little".Dian Bushi felt embarrassed and didn't want to shout, but thought: "He's really different from the people in the village!" Then he thought: "He's different from everyone I've seen!" Think about it: "If he comes again today, I will respect him as a man, and I will call him 'Mr. Gu' from now on!"

At this time, Dian Bushi heard Gu Ao's question "Am I the same as them?", and hurriedly said: "Mr. Gu, you are different from those people I don't know! Hurry up and say hello!" Then he bowed to his knees, and Gu Ao returned the courtesy and said, "It's just a student, don't be cautious."

Dian Bushi straightened up, with a laugh on his face, scratched his head and said, "I'm not being reserved, I just want to beg you."
