Chapter 391 Those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger
Gu Qiong helped Gu Yu untie the gauze band on his forehead, inevitably leaving a scar on the left side of his forehead.
Gu Qiong said: "Doctor Leng has prepared Shuhen Cream, sister must insist on using it."
Gu Yu touched the scar lightly, and it still hurt a little.
The scab on the wound is gradually falling off, and the wound is neither small nor large.
Gu Yudao: "Such a deep scar cannot be removed by Shuhen Cream."
Gu Qiong said anxiously: "Then you have to keep using it! At least make the scars lighter."
Gu Yu looked at herself in the mirror and said to her sister: "Did you know? For men, scars are their glory, but for women, scars are their shame."
Gu Qiong was stunned for a moment, it seemed that this was really the case.
A woman regards her appearance as life. Let alone a scar, even a small pimple will make her unhappy all day long.
But men don't care about their scars. Instead, they are proud of them, thinking that they are a symbol of bravery.
Gu Yudao: "Don't force it. I have read a sentence in a book before, and I think it's very good. It probably means that those who can't kill you will eventually make you stronger. So think about what you learned from this scar.
, rather than obsessing over eliminating it.”
Gu Qiong felt suddenly enlightened that Dong Changmao failed to kill her. Although she was suffering from the memory, she was brave now.
From a delicate young lady hiding deep in the boudoir, she became a shopkeeper who can take charge of her own business.
She used to play the piano in an elegant manner, but she couldn't grasp the essence every time she plucked the strings.
Now I have an abacus in my hand and my fingertips are dancing on it, but I find boundless fun.
Elegance is never accumulated by those romantic affairs, but comes from the inner taste.
Gu Qiong said warmly: "Then what did sister learn from this scar?"
Gu Yu smiled and said: "I have learned not to be too conceited."
Conceit is her biggest and fatal flaw.
She had realized it a long time ago, and every time she fell into danger, she would tell herself that she couldn't do this next time.
But the next time, she still had her own way.
No one can truly have everything under control.
From the moment she decided to deal with the aristocratic family, every step she took was dangerous. If she made the slightest mistake, she would lose everything.
In the past, she fought alone and escaped with her life many times, so although the lessons she learned were profound, they were not enough to change her way of doing things.
But this time, her family and Ding Xiaoji were affected, which made her feel scared.
Now she doesn't act alone. There are too many people standing around her, and she has more worries.
Gu Qiong smiled and said, "I think my sister is bragging."
Gu Yu looked at the two very similar faces in the mirror and smiled.
Gu Yu suddenly asked: "Do you like Xiao Xingzhi?"
Thinking of that somewhat straightforward man, Gu Qiong's brows filled with a little sadness and said, "I guess I like him."
She didn't know what liking meant. She once thought she liked Dong Changmao and fantasized about what it would be like to marry Dong Changmao every day.
But Dong Changmao shattered all her beautiful illusions about love.
Even facing Xiao Xingzhi, she did not dare to try love easily again, and she could not imagine what the future would be like with Xiao Xingzhi.
If you must marry, marrying Xiao Xingzhi seems to be the best choice.
Sisters Gu Yu and Gu Qiong are connected, how could they not see Gu Qiong's confusion?
Gu Yudao: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you haven't made up your mind yet, just stay at home and help me figure it out. I don't want you to get married too early and be reluctant to let go."
Gu Qiong sighed quietly and said, "But I'm already twenty, and my aunt doesn't say anything, but she always holds a booklet of young talents from Kyoto and looks through it."
Gu Yudao: "Age is not a problem. If we find out that we are not suitable after getting married, we will become a pair of resentful couples. A woman's destiny does not necessarily lead to marriage. A woman's value is not to support her husband and raise children."
Gu Qiong tilted her head and asked, "Then what is my value?"
Gu Yu stretched out her hand and knocked Gu Qiong's forehead and said, "Don't rely on me to teach you everything. Think on your own."
Regardless of Gu Qiong's confusion, Gu Yu changed into official uniform and entered the palace.
There is a court meeting today, and it is also the first time Gu Yu has entered the court hall after recovering from her injuries.
While waiting outside, the courtiers tacitly avoided Gu Yu and kept focusing on her.
It was completely cold in the sky, and the front of Fengtian Hall was desolate.
Gu Yu stood under the vast sky, a gust of wind blew by, and her clothes rustled, making her appear thin and alone.
Junze saw this and was about to step over.
Ju Zishi walked over with several officials from the Ministry of Justice, Qiu You and other censors walked over, Ding Xiaoji walked over with two bachelors of Wenhan, and the newly appointed minister of Dali Temple, Peng Jiao, walked over.
A military general who had gone on an expedition with the Duke of Laozhen walked over, and several officials from the capital who came from poor families and finally climbed up also walked over.
While exchanging pleasantries, things around Gu Yu became lively.
Junze smiled slightly and did not disturb the excitement.
When Ding Xiaoji was in prison, his right hand was disabled and it would tremble when he exerted force. However, he did not regret himself and was practicing writing with his left hand recently.
Ju Zishi happened to be left-handed, and the two started chatting.
Gu Yu looked at Ding Xiaoji's right hand and thought to herself that it was a pity. Ding Xiaoji's handwriting was very neat and full of vigor.
Once I changed to writing with my left hand, it was naturally very different from the original writing.
Ding Xiaoji seemed to see the regret on Gu Yu's face, and said with a smile: "I am afraid that Mr. Gu has forgotten that when I was in Gongyuan, I was panicked because of a fire, but in order to hand in an answer sheet that satisfied me, I wrote one
You must be careful, but time waits for no one. I am so anxious that I am sweating profusely. You can take advantage of the opportunity to help me light up the lamp and reassure me that someone is copying the test paper. Don't think that you are wasting time by pursuing neatness."
Gu Yu remembered it, it was indeed such a thing.
Ding Xiaoji said: "Wenhans is a company of pens and ink, but it is not entirely a company of pens and ink. It has everything in mind, so why be afraid of being unstable in writing. I am grateful to my young master for his kindness. I don't have to regret and blame myself."
Gu Yu smiled and said, "You are right."
The families of five Bachelor Wenhan were held in the hands of aristocratic families, but were later rescued by people sent by the Holy Spirit and given some comfort.
The land equalization system in Yunlu County and Changzhong County is gradually proceeding, and now it has reached the stage of dividing the fields.
When next year's spring planting and autumn harvest occur, the results of the two counties will be revealed, and people across the country will see them. By then, the implementation of the equalization system on a large scale will go smoothly.
At that time, people will no longer have to worry about endless land and insufficient taxes.
After a few years, when the lives of every household get better, farmers will have more time to study and practice etiquette. If things go on like this, the poor families will gradually rise.
Di Luo wavered between the noble family and Shao Wuji, and was eventually pushed out by both parties to take the blame. Di Luo committed suicide in prison.
After Di Luo's death, Gu Yu took the opportunity to arrange his own man Peng Jiao to the position of Minister of Dali Temple.
Peng Jiao was originally the young minister of Dali Temple, and he got in touch with Gu Yu when Di Luo was suspended. Now that he was promoted, he naturally started working with Gu Yu.
In order to quell the anger of the people, the Di family became the first family to be operated on by the emperor, and the Di family was exiled thousands of miles away.
But everyone knows that the Di family is the first, and definitely not the last.
The Holy One used various excuses to deal with four or five aristocratic families one after another.
For a time, there was an undercurrent in the court.
The struggle between imperial power and aristocratic families was brought to the fore.
