The Ninth Prince must have dealt with quite a few scholars in his previous life.
It wasn't that he disliked scholars; it was simply that these scholars would insult him for no reason, so he had to take action to deal with them.
He wanted to start his life as a scholar, and he didn't mind that identity at all.
He could also switch roles and become a scholar to criticize those treacherous officials!
He used to think that it was quite satisfying for those scholars to criticize him.
He wanted to be one too.
Gu Sangu quickly changed her clothes and came out. She went to the rice shop to tell her mother-in-law and then left.
Gu Sangu went out with her second brother's family. Her mother-in-law, Qin, had to hold back her anger and just wanted to tell her son to be careful that night, so that the Gu family wouldn't come to their door to freeload!
In her mind, the Gu family had always been poor. Even though Gu Lin's dowry when she got married was much more than the bride price her husband's family had given, she still thought that the Gu family was just putting on a show.
In her mind, the Gu family belonged to the category of poor relatives.
Over the years, she had been living in constant fear that the Gu family would come to her door to beg for money, but that never happened.
Even the most unreliable, gambling, and alcoholic Gu Lao Er only went to borrow money once, but was scolded by Gu Lin and failed to borrow any money, so he never went back.
She now feels that what she has been worried about for years is finally about to happen.
...
After sending Gu Shouxin to his third aunt's husband's place, Gu's third aunt took her second sister-in-law and nieces to go shopping for cosmetics.
Cai Xiaolian came with the purpose of investigating the market, Gu Nian came with the purpose of studying the ingredients of ancient rouge, and only Gu Xin came simply to stroll around.
Gu Xin wasn't interested in rouge and face powder; she wasn't old enough to use them yet. Watching her mother and the shopkeeper talking animatedly, with her third aunt occasionally chiming in, and her sister asking the shop assistants about the different uses of various rouges, she felt rather bored.
She sat in the chair, resting her chin on her hand, watching the people coming and going outside the door.
The prefectural city was indeed much larger than the county town and the town itself, with so many people! Even the rouge shops were more than twice the size of those in the county town.
"Huh? Brother Yuanyuan!" Gu Xin saw a figure flash by the door and quickly chased after it.
As I walked to the door, I looked left and right, but I couldn't see the person from before. Suddenly, a carriage stopped.
"Hey? Little girl, I see you here! Where's your dad? Is he accompanying you to the cosmetics shop?" The window opened, and a familiar face appeared.
Gu Xin frowned, looking at the wicked old man, and pursed her lips without saying a word.
The emperor raised an eyebrow. Oh ho, it seems this little girl really called him a bad old man. Look, she doesn't want to talk to him anymore. It seems that going out for some fresh air despite feeling uncomfortable was a wise decision.
It's fun, so much fun!
"Little girl, your name is Xinxin, right? Why are you glaring at me? I didn't do anything to you!" The emperor got off the carriage, bent down slightly, and asked.
Both Eunuch Fu and Xue Qianyu were stunned. When had they ever seen the Emperor treat a little girl with such kindness?
This is a privilege that even some of the princesses in the palace don't receive!
For the princes, it was even more impossible.
“I wasn’t glaring at you. My eyes are naturally this big, that’s just how they are. Other people just think my eyes are pretty and that I’m smiling, but you, Uncle, think I’m glaring at you. My sister said that what you see is what you think. You’re the one who thinks I’m glaring at you,” Gu Xin said.
