Ci Jinzhi Chapter 235

Miss Kou was famous among the students of the Imperial College. People talked about it wherever she went, and it also spread to the ears of Gu Yu, who was immersed in studying.

Gu Yu put down the book, asked for details and ran to find Wen Jiancheng.

“Sir, student Gu Yu wants to go home half a day early, so I'm here to ask you for leave.”

When Wen Jiancheng saw Gu Yu, he smiled unconsciously: "Gu Yu, I remember you. How is everything at home now?"

“Mr. Lao is concerned that everything is fine at home. He has moved into a new house and has been given grain for this spring.”

"That's good." The smile on Jian Cheng Wen's face deepened, "We have a holiday tomorrow, why do we have to go back half a day early?"

Gu Yu moved her lips.

Seeing his hesitation, Wen Jiancheng was not accommodating: "You also know that when you studied in the Imperial College, the Imperial College is strict about asking for leave. I will not grant leave without a reason."

Even though he said this, Wen Jiancheng's tone was gentle, which showed that he had a good impression of Gu Yu as a student.

“Student—” Gu Yu hesitated for a moment and had to say, “Student wants to save Miss Kou.”

Wen Jiancheng was startled.

He never thought that this was the reason why students asked for leave.

Having spoken the words, Gu Yu did not hesitate: "Miss Kou saved the student's family, and also saved our neighbors in Beiloufang. Now that she is in trouble, the student cannot stand idly by."

After hearing Gu Yu's words, Wen Jiancheng's expression became gentler: “Then why were you hesitating just now?”

Gu Yu lowered his eyes and replied: "Because Jin Linwei is involved, the students are afraid that Mr. -"

 It was difficult to say what he said next, but Wen Jiancheng understood what he meant.

Most of the officials, both civil and military, treated Jinlin Guard like a snake or a scorpion, for fear that he would stop him and not allow him to go.

"Jin Linwei generally ignores ordinary people, but you are a supervisor. If you offend Jin Linwei, your career in the future may be affected. Have you thought clearly?" Wen Jiancheng asked seriously.

Gu Yu cupped her hands and said, "Student, you have thought clearly. A drop of water should be repaid by a spring. What's more, Miss Kou is a life-saving grace to the student and a mother-saving grace. If the student only thinks about his own future and is indifferent to the savior who encounters difficulties, What's the point of studying and becoming an official?”

 “Now that you have thought it through, go ahead.”

Gu Yu looked stunned: "Mr.—"

"You, a student, have this intention. Do you want to stop me as a teacher? Go ahead, but don't be reckless."

“Thank you, sir.” Gu Yu bowed deeply to Wen Jiancheng.

Looking at the students walking away quickly, Wen Jiancheng's eyes were gentle. When the young figure was out of sight, he raised his feet and went to find Meng Jiji for wine.

In order to save energy, Gu Yu was reluctant to take a car, so she got off the car and ran home.

 At this time, Gu Mu was doing laundry.

"Yu'er, why are you back? Isn't it a holiday tomorrow?" Seeing her son coming back, Gu's mother's first reaction was not happiness, but worry.

My son is devoted to studying and never gives up even if he feels unwell. There must be something important when he comes back suddenly.

 “Something happened to Miss Kou.”

 Gu Mu immediately put down the clothes she was washing and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Miss Kou?"

"Jinlinwei suspected that Miss Kou was putting Mr. Songling under house arrest. They took Miss Kou away yesterday and have not released her yet."

 “Jinlinwei?” Gu Mu was a little confused.

Most of their ordinary people who can deal with them come from Bingma Si, and then the county. Although Jin Linwei often sees it on the street, there is no intersection for the young people.

"Mom, my son wants to find the neighbors and work together to find a way to rescue Miss Kou." "Let's go." Gu Mu wiped her hands on her apron.

The mother did not hesitate, but Gu Yu did not move: "Mom, if my son offends Jin Linwei, it may affect his future future -"

“You kid, are you really afraid that your future will be affected and you will come back on leave?”

Gu Yu was a little embarrassed: "My son is afraid of letting you down in the future -"

  His widowed mother pulled him up and provided him with education. He vowed countless times to make his mother live a good life in the future.

"Silly boy." Mother Gu couldn't help but touched her son's head.

 The little child in the past has now grown into a boy who is half a head taller than her. She needs to raise her hand to touch his head.

Mother Gu's eyes were bright: “My Yu'er has never let mother down. Let's go, mother will go with you.”

 The mother and son first called together their neighbors who lived close by and told them the situation.

Gu Yu rushed to the neighbors and said, "This is just the boy's plan. If uncles and aunts don't participate, you won't force it."

 He values ​​​​kindness and does not hesitate to advance for it, but it is impossible to ask others to think so.

 Every family has its own difficulties and thoughts.

As soon as Gu Yu finished speaking, a young man spoke up: "Little brother Gu, what are you talking about? Miss Kou is your savior, isn't she our savior? If Miss Kou hadn't given porridge, my wife and children would have been There is no way to escape the collapse of the house. If something happens to the two of them, I won't be able to survive even if I escape by chance. I don't care what other people do, I will definitely go with you, little brother Gu."

The young man who spoke was the family of three across from Sumitani's house.

The young woman held the baby in her arms and nodded: "Head of the house, I will go too."

Someone else said: "Our family will go too. Without Miss Kou, how could our family be as tidy as it is now..."

There was also some hesitation, but his mother scolded him: "If it weren't for Miss Kou, your mother's old bones would have turned into ashes long ago. Why are you hesitating? Do you want someone to poke the backbone of our family?"

“Mom, if my son is afraid of being caught by the policemen, no one will take care of you—”

The old woman glanced at her son and said, "Mom, I'll go with you. We want to arrest him together."

Most people expressed their opinions, and the remaining few who were still struggling didn't say either to go or not to go, and followed the others to find the head of the village.

The head of the village was hesitant at first, but seeing the expectant faces of the neighbors, he nodded heavily: "Go, don't let people laugh at us Beiloufang people for having no conscience!"

The neighbors in Beiloufang gathered more and more, heading toward Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

 “What are we going to do? What are we going to do?” Along the way, people kept asking curiously.

 “Let's go to Jinlin Guards and ask the officials to release Miss Kou.”

 The people who got the answer looked at each other.

The people from Beiloufang are so bold, they actually dare to go to the government to ask for help.

"I know Miss Kou. There was an earthquake and snowstorm in the twelfth lunar month last year. If Miss Kou hadn't been giving porridge in Beiloufang, many people would have died!"

“I've also heard of Miss Kou! Not only did Miss Kou save many people in Beiloufang, she also donated 50,000 taels of silver to the Dingbei disaster area!”

 “This Kou girl is a great kind person!”

 “How about... let's go and have a look too?”

“Let's go, let's go, there are so many people. If you don't believe it, the officials will arrest them.”

Over at Fusi in Beizhen, Xiao Lengshi was worried that he had to restrain his hands and feet because of the oral instructions. One of his subordinates came to report in a hurry: "Sir, it's bad, there are many people outside the Yamen!"
