I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 160 The Chicken Soup Isn’t Tasty

Gu Wenxuan glanced at the tightly wrapped little guy and said, "Besides running and playing with your friends, what else do you think is not tiring? Working or studying?"

Gu Xiaowu's shoulders slumped, "I'm tired..."

Gu Wenxuan smiled and rubbed his head, then she loudly asked her clingy brother, "It's true that we are all very tired, but can you do nothing just because you are tired? How does it feel to be hungry? Are you not interested in the delicious food at home?"

The child was confused for only a moment, "That's still rare."

Being hungry was not a pleasant feeling, and he didn't want to go through the miserable days of having nothing to eat and having to drink cold water to fill his stomach. He wanted to be like he is now, eating full meals and eggs every day, meat every other day, and occasionally candy and snacks.

Bai Jingzhou, who heard the conversation between the two, smiled and patted the little guy on the shoulder, "Study hard, practice hard, the vast world outside and a brighter future life are waiting for you."

Kogoro blinked his clear big eyes, his eyes were full of confusion and puzzlement.

Sorry, he doesn't quite understand.

The other people present looked at each other in astonishment, and had no reaction to Bai Jingzhou's words.

Gu Wenxuan glanced at him, then raised her voice and looked around at everyone, "Do you want to have enough food and warm clothes?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately became excited and said, "Think about it!"

Gu Wenxuan asked again, "Do you want to live in a big brick and tile house?"

Everyone responded without hesitation, "Yes!"

Gu Wenxuan asked again, "Do you want to have white flour, pork, eggs, candy, and snacks to eat every day?"

Everyone's tears almost flowed from the corners of their mouths, "I want to!"

Gu Wenxuan, "Very good, then study hard and practice martial arts diligently."

Bai Jingzhou: ...Well, he didn't know how to adapt, and the chicken soup wasn't cooked properly.

With delicious food, thick clothes and a big brick and tile house waiting ahead, not only the adults but even the children no longer found the hardship of studying and practicing martial arts unbearable.

If they can’t play, then they can’t play. Just give them good food, good clothes and a good place to live.

What Xiaowulang, who was confused and kept shouting "I want to" several times, didn't know was that Gu Wenxuan actually wanted all of them brothers to try to take the imperial examination.

Gu Wenxuan's brothers were not too old, so they all had a chance to try. The imperial examinations were too far away, and it was hard to say whether they could pass them, but Gu Wenxuan thought they would have no problem passing the examination for a scholar.

Having the title of scholar is equivalent to stepping into the threshold of "scholars". The social status of their family will be incomparable to what it is now.

As long as people are alive, they must always try to climb higher. Otherwise, anyone can step on them and how can they live comfortably?

Even for Ning Qirui, who loved martial arts and making money, Bai Jingzhou suggested that he take the examination to become a scholar first.

At worst, at least he could pass the imperial examination and become a student, which would be better than being a mere businessman.

With Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou in charge of the general direction, the elders from each family who are younger than them don't have to worry about anything.

The children studied hard with Lin Shuzhen, Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, and Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou were also studying hard. In this busy daily life where they were busy doing things while improving themselves whenever they had time, time slowly entered the last month of the year.

On the second day of this month, Gu Wenxuan met Bai Jingzhou's second cousin Qian in the woods at the end of the village.

Qian's appearance is average, but she has a good physique. Not only does she have a cheerful personality, she is also hardworking and capable, and can handle everything at home and outside.

Except for her unsatisfied mother-in-law, all the members of the Bai family, including her husband and father-in-law, felt that Bai Jingming had made a great fortune by marrying her.

Although Bai Jingming is more handsome than her, in the eyes of the villagers who value practicality more, good looks cannot be eaten, and it is not as likable as diligence.

Gu Wenxuan thought that being good-looking was one of her strengths, but she also really liked Qian's personality.

Bai Jingzhou has a very good relationship with his cousins, and their wives are easy to get along with. In the future, the relationship between Bai Jingzhou and his cousins ​​will not be strained because of pillow talk, which is a good thing in ancient times when clans were valued.

What Gu Wenxuan didn't know was that Qian was actually very afraid that Gu Wenxuan didn't like her.

She had her eyes on Bai Jingming. Her parents had originally disapproved of her marrying a lazy man. Later, because of the troubles caused by Bai Jingming's mother, her parents even thought about breaking off the engagement. It was the fairness of the Bai family and the sudden rise of Bai Jingzhou that gave her the opportunity to convince her parents.

Bai Jingzhou gave Bai Jingming a way to make money, so that even if he was not very hardworking, his income throughout the year could support his family. This meant that if she married Bai Jingming, at least her life would not be particularly hard in the future.

She was willing, Bai Jingming was able to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, Uncle Bai was sensible, and the Bai family was fair. All these reasons combined made Qian's parents finally give up on their mother who continued to criticize Bai Jingming.

After much difficulty, she married the young man she had dreamed of, and he was very considerate to her. Although Qian didn't say it, she was still very grateful to Bai Jingzhou for saving her marriage. Gu Wenxuan was also the one Bai Jingzhou held in his hands, so of course Qian also wanted to have a good relationship with her.

Both of them wanted to make friends with each other, and they both had straightforward personalities and were easy to get along with. So when they met for the first time, the atmosphere naturally became very pleasant.

Bai Jingming, who came here with his wife, also had a happy look on his face. Although his mother had learned a lesson recently and his father was always there to suppress her, so no big trouble could happen, but their family was not really harmonious these days.

Bai Jingming was still somewhat troubled by his mother's aborted plans. Now that he had brought his wife out, he no longer had to face his mother's eyes that looked at him like a sinner. Bai Jingming almost immediately relaxed completely from the inside out.

Bai Jingzhou knew the situation of their family very well. Seeing this, he didn't say much. He just raised his hand and silently patted Bai Jingming's shoulder.

What he didn't know was that Bai Jingming was not feeling as bad as he imagined. His mother had always been particularly concerned about her family since he was a child, and he had become accustomed to the fact that he was only loved by his father and not by his mother.

After so many disappointments, he had become numb. If his mother hadn't always been causing trouble and looking at him and his brother with a condemning look, he wouldn't even have emotions like annoyance or depression.

Bai Jingming relaxed and enjoyed this rare quiet time, not disliking the cold wind blowing through the forest at all.

Qian was not as resistant to the cold as him. After talking to Gu Wenxuan for a while, she asked Bai Jingming to go home.

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan did not try to keep them. After seeing them off, the two of them continued to stroll around collecting firewood.
