Chapter 12 Young Juren

Speaking of which, Gu Huaijin was only eighteen years old and still a young scholar.

I heard that he was admitted as a scholar at the age of twelve and won the imperial examination at the age of fourteen. Originally, he was going to try out last year.

But for some reason, only Gu Huairui from Dafang went to take the exam. He was the top scholar in his family, but he was still an examiner.

Gu Huaijin looks handsome, with lively eyes and a straight nose, making her look like a jade tree standing in the wind!

At this young age, her face is still a bit immature, but when she matures in the future, she will probably have a face that attracts bees and butterflies.

Gu Huaijin was less than fifteen years old when Xu Maqian married him, and she was still the oldest child in the family.

He is fifteen years younger than his eldest brother. He has been pampered by everyone in the family since he was a child. He has a somewhat unruly personality and has no scruples.

Apart from Gu Huairui, there is probably no one he admires in the entire Gu family.

Moreover, he became a father just after getting married, and now he is not even eighteen years old. He is still a child who needs someone to take care of him.

The second wife, Mrs. Chen, was sitting not far from them, watching Xu Muxian running in and out to serve the third child and his son.

I kept muttering in my heart, what happened to Mrs. Xu? Why has she changed so much? How can she be so diligent?

Is it because the old lady is gone and the third child has no one to suppress her? Is it because she is afraid that the third child will divorce her, so she is so attentive?

Thinking like this, Mrs. Chen felt that it must be the case. Who didn't know that the third child despised her the most and had someone in his heart before marrying her.

But at this time, regardless of whether she was diligent or not, at least she still had strength.

But as for her, she had walked thirty miles today and was already too tired to move.

Looking at her husband and daughter, who were equally powerless like her, Chen was so sad that she shed tears silently.

I was really tired from traveling today. Usually when I travel at home, there are carriages and horses, and everyone is surrounded by seven or eight women and maids.

But now, you have to rely on yourself for everything.

Her husband has always been weak and unable to do anything. He could barely walk thirty miles after receiving the cane today, so now he still has to rely on her.

Poor sister, she is only eight years old and has to suffer this kind of punishment. She walked all the thirty miles today by herself, and she may have a few blisters on her feet.

It's really unfair. The three of them didn't do anything bad, so why should they be implicated in the trouble caused by the big house?

Let their family suffer like this for nothing!

Mrs. Chen felt secretly resentful as she looked at the big house in the distance, Chen Lu and her family.

She wiped her tears and looked at Xu Muzhen, "Third brother and sister, you"

She wanted to ask Xu Muchian to borrow a needle and a kettle but was afraid that she would refuse. After all, she stood by and did nothing to help her when she was in prison.

Xu Muqian heard the sound, looked at the embarrassed Chen, and said, "What's wrong? Second sister-in-law!"

"So what, how are you today?"

"Fortunately, I held Brother Zhao all the way and he was very good."

"It's quite tiring to hold the baby, but fortunately Brother Zhao is well-behaved."

Mrs. Chen has been unable to speak out, but her eyes are longing as she looks at Xu Muxian holding her feet and picking up blisters.

Xu Muchian followed Chen's eyes and looked at the needle in her hand, and understood instantly.

Said: "Second sister-in-law, I still have an unused needle here. If you don't mind, take it and use it!"

She was still wondering just now why Chen, who had never spoken much, suddenly started chatting with her.

It turns out that you were interested in the needle in her hand, but you couldn't open your mouth.

Chen's cheeks were slightly hot, and she said sheepishly, "How embarrassing, thank you, my third brother and sister."

Having said that, I took the needle.

He whispered something to the two people next to him and walked out.

After a while, Mrs. Chen came back with a basin of hot water, and the family of three started washing up.

Not far away, Lin Lu frowned and looked at Xu Muqian, and then glanced at her second sister with hatred.

Cursing secretly, it's really useless, I didn't win the third prize in so many opportunities before.

Now that he is in exile, if Mrs. Xu is so attentive in front of the third child and accompanies him to endure hardships, will there be another chance to win the third child over in the future?

No, Gu Huaijin must follow them and stay with her husband.

It seems that she still wants Zhu Er to find another opportunity to completely bind the third child to their side as soon as possible.

The best thing is that there are no Xu Maqian and Gu Zhao around him, so that the third child can help them wholeheartedly without worries.

It seems that she will have to spend more time on her way into exile.

After all, anything can happen when you are exiled for three thousand miles, and it is easy for a few people to disappear or die.

Thinking about this and seeing Xu Muchian busy there, she felt even more at ease.

As long as Zhu'er succeeds, everything Xu is doing now will be in vain, let alone whether she will get sick or something.

Looking at Gu Huairui, Lin Lu always felt that she was very lucky to be married to such a good husband.

Her husband is gentle and considerate, respects women, and treats her very well.

Even now, he doesn't let her serve him. Instead, he brings water back to wash her.

Although he was in poor health and bedridden all year round before they got married, his health has improved greatly in the past few years since they got married. After getting better, he not only studied hard and studied hard, but also won three yuan in a row.

If the second prince who followed the Lin family and the Gu family hadn't suddenly fallen out of favor and been banned, she would have had unlimited fame in the capital, and the family's future would have been unlimited.

Now the second prince is imprisoned, Lin's father is implicated as his teacher, the adult men in the family have been killed, the women and children have been exiled, and only Lin's mother and two young ladies are left.

Lin Lu looked at her gentle-faced husband next to her and felt much better. Even though she was suffering now, her husband still loved her.

The eldest lady Yao was also looking at Xu Muzhen's family of three, complaining and cursing in her heart, "Killing with a thousand cuts, didn't you see that their family was too tired to move?"

Even if there is hot water, I don't know how to let my eldest brother and sister-in-law use it first. Now that my mother-in-law and father-in-law are gone, my eldest brother is my father and my sister-in-law is my mother.

This Xu family has no dignity and is selfish.

Their family also has an eldest grandson from the second room.

Xu Maqian didn't know what everyone was thinking, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

Just because she was in a coma for a few days in the prison, no one cared about her, and they still wanted to throw her out while she was in a coma.
