Chapter 224 Ten Years
However, there are also people who are hurt in this era, that is, those poor scholars. It is extremely difficult for them to pass the examination for scholar, but it took many years to pass the examination for scholar, but they only have a meager tribute issued by the court.

There is also tax payment, and many scholars even starved to death.

Many people in the court said that the only ones left in Dayin's court today are people with family backgrounds.

There are fewer and fewer examples of poor scholars like Gu Changfeng counterattacking.

So Gu Changfeng became more and more hated.

Although now he is the chief assistant of Dayin.

Gu Heng read the book rather bored, it was raining heavily outside, the weather here is like this, it always rains in the afternoon and dusk.

Gu Heng asked Haiwa and A Chao to close the store, and she was going to go home and sleep.

It's just that when she walked to the door of the house, she saw an acquaintance, and Gu Heng frowned immediately.

She originally thought that she would never see Ling Xiao again in her life.

But now Ling Xiao, who has grown into a young man, said to Gu Heng: "A Shu, someone has found your whereabouts, so come with me."

It happened so suddenly.

Gu Heng could only pack his things, and followed Ling Xiao to leave this seaside town.

This is the first time Gu Heng has left here in ten years.

For a while, she was a little uncomfortable.

Gu Heng and Ling Xiao rode the same horse, Gu Heng put his arms around Ling Xiao, and felt that the child's abdominal muscles were particularly obvious. She said jokingly: "Ling Xiao has grown up, much stronger than before."

If Ling Xiao was ten years ago, he would definitely show off to Gu Heng with a smile.

But the ears of the young man in front of him were red.

"Ashu, I haven't seen you in ten years, why are you still like this..."

Gu Heng smiled.

"I was abrupt, hahaha."

For some reason, Gu Heng was in a good mood, after all, he met an old friend.

Ling Xiao said to Gu Heng: "Do you want to know what happened to those people you cared about all these years?"

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment, she hadn't thought of them for a long time.

The faces of those people, like their names, turned into a somewhat blurred imprint.

It's almost impossible to remember.

"You say it."

Ling Xiao said: "Your elder sister Gu Rong is now the queen mother with all the power in the world, and your elder brother is now the number one official of Dayin. Oh, by the way, your mother remarried. Storm."

Gu Heng was immediately happy when he heard this.

"My mother actually remarried, which is really a good thing, what else?"

Ling Xiao continued to speak: "Prince Duan is now obsessed with going out to sea. He takes the fleet out to sea all day long. The affairs of the court and China are not under his jurisdiction. Your husband, Wang Jian, has been guarding the border in the northwest, and he, like you, has not returned for ten years. Pass the capital."

Gu Heng was taken aback for a moment, and she chuckled lightly, "He is a very persistent person."

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Don't think too much, I heard that your sister is already going to give him a marriage."

Gu Heng's face was a little complicated, and she sighed slightly.

"He should have been married long ago."

Ling Xiao continued: "And your master Yang Youye, he is out of prison, he is the one who is looking for you, and this person is so smart, even Wang Jian did not find out something, but he actually found out. "

Gu Heng frowned slightly.

"What is he doing for me?"

Ling Xiao shook his head.

"How would I know, anyway, I'll take you to Nanjing to hide for a while, and it's been ten years, so it's time for you to come out and see the colorful world your brother created."

To be honest, Gu Heng had little expectations. After all, Nanjing City was already very luxurious ten years ago, how can it be luxurious now?

They sailed all the way to Nanjing.

When Gu Heng and Ling Xiao arrived at the stronghold of the White Lotus Sect, it was no surprise that it was a brothel.

Gu Heng changed into the clothes that are fashionable in Nanjing now.

This dress is not a traditional Dayin suit, but a fusion of elements from many overseas countries.

Gu Heng's eyes lit up when he saw this nondescript but extraordinarily good-looking outfit.

"I saw a lot of foreigners when I entered the city just now. Nanjing is really lively."

Ling Xiao said with a smile: "That's not true. There are now 10,000+ overseas citizens in Nanjing City, and there are even more in the capital. Some of these foreigners have blond hair and blue eyes, some have black hair and black skin, and some have red hair and green eyes. They look the same as us. Dayin people are very different."

Gu Heng stood on the second floor of the brothel, looking at the foreign dancers dancing downstairs.

"It's so pretty."

Ling Xiao looked at Gu Heng, and he said with a smile: "Our saint is waiting for you on the third floor. He said it's been a long time, and he wants to talk to you."

Gu Heng followed Ling Xiao to the third floor of the brothel.

The saint still wears this mask, but judging from his neck, he is also old.

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Holy One, long time no see."

The Holy One smiled and said, "It's been ten years, and it's been a long time since you can't use it. You have changed a lot, and I can't even recognize you."

Gu Heng is taller than before. Although his skin is not as fair as before, it has a healthy glow, and his whole body reveals a mature and healthy beauty.

In layman's terms, Gu Heng's temperament at this time is that of a young woman.Gu Heng smiled and said: "That's natural, I'm already an old man now."

The saint laughed.

"If you care, I have some pills here that can help you..."

Gu Heng hurriedly waved his hands.

"Ten years ago, I took that elixir with Emperor Dog. I escaped by stuffing my teeth. Don't try to harm me."

It's a bit funny to say, Gu Heng's back molars are very gapped, every time she takes that elixir, she pushes her tongue to her back molars, and then buckles it out after going out.

Shengzun laughed, and Gu Heng's face softened a little.

She said, "Why did Yang Youye look for me?"

Shengzun said in a low voice: "In two years, it will be the year of the first emperor's establishment of the crown prince. Naturally, he came to you because of this matter."

Gu Heng waved his hand and said: "So that's it, I'm an idler now, I don't care about such things."

The Holy One said, "You really don't care?"

Gu Heng nodded.

"When I made that decision, I definitely wouldn't regret it easily, but I decided to stay in Nanjing for a while, after all, it's a rare and prosperous time."

Shengzun smiled, waved his hand, and said to Ling Xiao, "Take her out for a good time."

Just when Gu Heng was about to go out, Gu Heng suddenly thought of a particularly stupid question.

She stepped back and said to the Holy One: "Your White Lotus Sect is probably like this in Dayin, but have you ever thought about going to sea to preach?"

The saint was taken aback for a moment.

"Going to sea to preach?"

Gu Heng hurriedly left the room, she didn't know why these things popped up in her mind.

Ling Xiao seemed a little happy, he took Gu Heng's hand, and led Gu Heng away from this place, to the busiest place in Nanjing.

Along the Qinhuai River, Gu Heng is very familiar with this place.
