Chapter 32
For several days in a row, it was a beautiful day with clear skies and a sparse moon and stars at night.

On this day, Jingzhe went to Wenxing Street again. Jiang Fuyue was tired of staying in the yard and didn't want to go out, so she took Gu Yu and a maid who knew martial arts for a walk in the garden of the Hou Mansion.

The garden of the Hou Mansion is nice to look at, but it has no special features. It is just like the gardens outside, with the same stone paths, flowers and flowing water, and even the flowers and plants seem to be growing in the same way. Not only can I not relax, but I also feel depressed.

Jiang Fuyue lost interest as she walked, and her attention was attracted by Gu Yu who kept moving her shoulders: "What's wrong?"

Guyu grimaced and shook his head: "Oh, it's not because of the Jingzhe!"

"Jingzhe?" Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow, "Jingzhe has been running between Hou Mansion and Wenxing Street these days. He is so busy that his feet never touch the ground. How can he still torment you?"

Guyu sighed, with a face full of bitterness and hatred: "Jingzhe always behaves like an uncle after returning home at night, saying that she is too tired and has her slaves pinch her waist and beat her legs. This has been going on for several days. Madam, look This slave girl can hardly lift her hand!

Really, if she wanted someone to beat her legs, there would be so many people in the whole yard that they couldn't help but only one slave was caught... She just couldn't see the slave being comfortable! "

As she complained, she gritted her teeth and raised her hand. When Jiang Fuyue saw it, it was really shaking like chaff.

Jiang Fuyue couldn't help laughing.

No wonder, when Guyu tied up her hair this morning, his expression was ferocious. She thought that the girl had hit something evil, but she didn't expect that she was just tired.

Although Jingzhe has a steady temperament, he is only in his early twenties, and it is inevitable that he will have some tricks on others, so Gu Yu can only suffer.

"It's been really hard for her to run back and forth these days," Jiang Fuyue said with a smile, "When the house is settled, I'll give you two a day off. You can go out and have a good time, and I'll pay for it."

"Really!" Gu Yu was overjoyed, and suddenly thought of something, and instantly lowered the corner of her mouth, "That's not possible, Madam, you can't be away from anyone else!"

Jingzhe said that no matter how busy she is, there must be someone beside her to take care of her.

Jiang Fuyue shook her head helplessly: "That's okay, then I'll go out with you, and you just have to have fun."

This time, Gu Yu was completely relieved and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "That's great!"

Gu Yu had already started counting on her fingers what she was going to eat. Jiang Fuyue looked around and headed towards the pavilion hidden behind the trees, with only a pointed top visible.

They had been out for a while, and she was really tired.

After walking slowly all the way to the pavilion, Jiang Fuyue realized that there was already someone there.

The stone table was covered with rice paper, and Gu Feng was holding a pen with concentration, writing something on the paper stroke by stroke.

Jiang Fuyue was curious for a moment, so she walked over lightly to take a look.

Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is prehistoric.

The sun and moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arranged...

It's copying a thousand-character essay.

Although the handwriting on the paper was crooked, Gu Feng's expression was serious, his mouth was tightly pursed, and his eyes were looking at the pen without blinking. It was obvious that he had tried his best.

Sensing someone approaching, Gu Feng thought it was Gu Liao coming back at first and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until a pleasant fragrance came that Gu Feng realized something was wrong. When he turned his head, he saw Gu Liao standing next to him. It turned out to be Jiang Fuyue.

Jiang Fuyue was still reading his words.

Gu Feng blushed, hurriedly threw the brush aside, and covered his handwriting: "I, I don't write well, mother, don't read it."

Jiang Fuyue smiled and sat down aside, comforting: "You are still young, it doesn't matter even if you can't write well for a while, just practice more, don't belittle yourself." Gu Feng blinked: "Belittle yourself? Mother, then What means?"

Just as Jiang Fuyue was about to explain to him, a voice said first, "What mother means is that you don't need to look down on yourself."

Gu Liao came over, holding a new pile of rice paper in his hand.

He put down the rice paper in his hand, raised his hands and saluted, "Greetings to my mother."

Jiang Fuyue nodded: "Come and sit, don't you have to go to school today?"

"Yes, sir has some personal matters and gave me and my second brother a day off." Gu Liao walked over and sat down, unfolded the rice paper in his hand and spread it on the table. "But sir, he left a lot of homework for me and my second brother." My brother couldn’t rest, so he just came out to write.”

As he spoke, he dipped his pen in ink, with a very serious expression on his face.

Gu Liao was usually a steady person, far beyond what Gu Feng could compare to. Therefore, Jiang Fuyue would always forget that Gu Liao was actually only half a year older than Gu Feng.

Gu Liao's hand was steadier than Gu Feng's, and the words he wrote were not so terrible, but they were still messy.

One stroke after another, the whole area becomes pitch-black, with no sharp strokes visible.

Jiang Fuyue looked at it and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

The two brothers grew up in the backyard. Aunt Yun only knew a few words, but she couldn't write them when asked to write them. Aunt Rou couldn't read big characters, even worse than Aunt Yun.

The old lady had no intention of teaching the two brothers to write before, so even though these two people were from noble families, they knew nothing about writing.

In the previous life, when the gentleman from the scholarly family school came over, he first helped the two brothers lay a solid foundation for writing, and then started to let them try to copy the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic.

At that time, the writing of the two brothers could not be said to be very good, but it was not as miserable as it is now.

Jiang Fuyue looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Didn't your current gentleman tell you that you should pay attention to the use of pen and force when writing?"

Gu Liao and Gu Feng were stunned. They both stopped writing in their hands, and then looked up at her: "Is this... important? Sir, he only mentioned it in class, so we thought it wasn't very important."

The corner of Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched slightly, and she glanced at the caterpillar-like handwriting on the paper again. She hesitated for a long time, and then said with difficulty: "...it's still very important, but you don't need to pay attention to these things when you just start writing. You will always learn.”

"……Yes."

Jiang Fuyue stood up and said, "Write slowly."

"Yes," Gu Liao and Gu Feng quickly stood up and saluted, "Mom, walk slowly."

Jiang Fuyue took Gu Yu straight away and breathed a sigh of relief after walking for a long time.

Guyu finally couldn't help it anymore: "Why did Li Juren teach the two young masters like this? The two young masters don't even know how to use a pen, so Li Juren just asked them to write. Isn't this a mistake?"

If you haven't learned how to walk yet, you have to learn to run and jump. This will be a big mistake in the future!

Jiang Fuyue sighed: "The old lady wanted them to take the imperial examination and become civil servants in the court, but now it seems..."

The imperial examination also has very strict requirements on handwriting. Unless Gu Liao and Gu Feng work hard to practice after attending official school, this handwriting will ruin their path to the imperial examination.
