Chapter 62
Children are very sensitive to the thoughts and actions of adults.

Gu Zhushi's ambivalence and deeds made Gu Yuanzhi, who was loved by his father and hated by his mother, not be sensible like a child at a young age.

He treats Gu Zhushi very respectfully and politely on weekdays, but in his obedience, he unconsciously reveals a kind of stubbornness and alienation, as well as the child's longing for his mother.

It was this kind of stubbornness and alienation that prompted little Gu Yuanzhi to devote himself to unlimited learning since he was a child.

Gu Yuanzhi is gifted and intelligent, and started school at the age of five.He is not only diligent and studious, but also good at studying hard. He often "classes Fu in the daytime, books in the evening, and poetry in the occasional time".

He was only ten years old, and the county decree said that he "composed poetry with reference to objects, and his literature and science are impressive", and praised him for his quick thinking, extraordinary intelligence, promising future, and boundless prospects.

The smarter and more sensible Gu Yuanzhi was, the more she brought out Gu Yunxiu's ordinaryness, and the more sad Gu Zhushi was.

Thinking that her daughter is not as good as her son, Gu Zhushi felt as if she had lost to the woman outside, and felt as painful as ten thousand ants devouring her heart for a moment.

Just because of the gamble, Gu Zhushi had great expectations for Gu Yunxiu, and vowed to marry his daughter into a famous family. It seemed that only marrying his daughter into a wealthy family could comfort his soul and relieve him.

Jealousy and resentment can blind people's eyes, confuse people's minds, shake people's nature, and make them crazy.

In order to bring down the unknown woman and maintain the dignity of the old lady, Gu Zhushi desperately came in front of Mrs. Tongzhi.

"Mrs. Gu, you came just in time, and I was about to say goodbye to you." Although surprised by Gu Zhushi's uninvited arrival, Zhang Zhoushi didn't think much about it, but just wanted to say goodbye just in time.

"Mrs. Zhang, please forgive me for asking one more question, where are you and Miss Wan'er going?"

Hearing Gu Zhushi asking where Wan'er was going, Zhang Zhoushi's heart moved, and then seeing Gu Zhushi's anxious and restless look, his heart was even more reasonable.

There is nothing to hide, Zhang Zhou replied bluntly: "Wan'er will go to Changqing Temple to practice."

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's affirmative answer, Gu Zhushi couldn't sit still, and immediately spoke without thinking, begging Mrs. Zhang to take her daughter with her.

Alas, country people are country people, and they don't understand any rules. Mrs. Zhang Zhou sighed inwardly. Is there any friendship between us that can open this mouth?
Seeing Zhang Zhou's silence, Gu Zhu could not help feeling a little uneasy: "Is the concubine too abrupt?"

It turns out that you know it yourself, and you still open your mouth if you know it. Does this mean that you are stupid?Still stupid?

Zhang Zhou didn't answer Gu Zhu's question, but instead asked: "I have been in Chengnan County for more than half a month, do you know why I didn't send Wan'er to Changqing Temple until today?"

"This—? I don't know."

"I'm waiting for a letter of recommendation from Mrs. Yasukuni."

"Ah?" Gu Zhushi was stunned, and seemed to think of something for a long time, his face gradually became stiff and ugly, and his heart was half cold.

"Madam Gu, you don't know how difficult it is to be Tao Daoyu's disciple. The recommendation letter from Mrs. Jingguo's Madam only has Wan'er's name on it. I'm afraid I can't help you."

Seeing that she had devoted herself to entertaining herself in the past half month, Mrs. Zhang Zhou politely sent Gu Zhushi away.

After Gu Zhushi left, Lady Yao said in a low voice: "This Mrs. Gu, really, has the nerve to make such a request. Who does she think she is!"

"People who overestimate themselves are everywhere, and she is not the only one."

"Madam is kind, so I don't have the same knowledge as her."

"If someone is ignorant and wants to hit a stone with an egg, then just look at it and see who will die." Zhang Zhou said ruthlessly pointingly.

At night, Zhang Tongzhi and his wife once again started the experience of purely chatting under the quilt. The topic of course was Wan'er's going to Changqing Temple to practice.

At the end of the chat, Mrs. Zhang Zhou casually mentioned the matter of Mrs. Gu's visit today, and bluntly said that his ideas were ridiculous and overestimated.

"Is this what Gu Yiling meant?"

"Mr. Zhu said it personally, it should be the meaning of the two of them."

"Gu Yiling has accomplished a major event this time, and the magistrate is very happy. There may be some rewards in the future. In my opinion, if his daughter's affairs can be handled easily, I can help him and forget it. Stuff."

"It's easy for the master to say, Mrs. Yasukuni's letter of recommendation doesn't include his daughter's name, how can I do it for him?!"

"Hey, Ma'am, don't be angry. What I mean is, do it if you can, and forget it if you can't." Zhang Tongzhi didn't care about this, it was just a matter of convenience.

At first, I thought that the matter would pass like this, but I didn't expect that Gu Zhushi came again early the next morning, bringing her daughter Gu Yunxiu with her.

From Zhang Zhoushi's point of view, Gu Zhushi made a dizzy decision, so she had to confirm again: "Madam Gu, do you really want to do this?"

"Yes, Madam, please give Yunxiu a chance." Gu Zhushi replied firmly.

"Miss Yunxiu, I want to hear your thoughts?"

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's question, Gu Yunxiu suddenly stood up, knelt down and begged, "Yunxiu is willing to serve Miss Wan'er in her cultivation, and I hope Madam will help her."

Zhang Zhou looked at Gu Yunxiu steadfastly. This little girl had not yet fully grown up, but she looked quite upright. At this moment, her eyes were shining with a light that did not match her identity: this is the lower class. The naked pursuit and desire for the upper class.

This is a girl who is rebellious and has a lofty heart. She is eager to get rid of her class and pursue a life that does not belong to her.

Zhang Zhou would not have thought about this before the conversation last night, but today she has an idea of ​​watching a play.

In her opinion, fools and lunatics always have extraordinary blind confidence in themselves.The more ignorant people are, the more they take it for granted. It is true that going to Changqing Temple to practice can improve oneself, but sometimes the leap in class can not only be achieved by one's own ability.

Of course there is an upward channel, it is there, and everyone can see it, it depends on whether you can get it.

In other words, she didn't think Gu Yunxiu could catch her, but she wanted to see how far this Gu Yunxiu could go.

"Miss Yunxiu, you are also a young lady who doesn't stick to the spring water at home. I'm afraid you can't do the work of serving others."

"I can do it! Usually, when the girl is serving me, I always watch it. It's not difficult. I'm sure I can do it." Gu Yunxiu eagerly confessed, fearing that Zhang Zhoushi would refuse, she patted her chest and promised, "Even if I can't, I can do it too. Learn, I will definitely take good care of Miss Wan'er."

For the matter of "taking good care of Wan'er", Zhang Zhou would not count on this Gu Yunxiu. The job of serving people is hard to say, but easy to say.

Especially if she is a young lady, it is not so easy for her to change her mentality and play the role of a girl.
