Jidao: I have ten equipment slots

Right.

My father was granted the title of Marquis of Qingshi County, and his fiefdom was the entire Qingshi County.

Gu Zheng is the eldest son and has always been the first in line of succession, so he is naturally the "Little Marquis".

"Where? Where is big brother?"

With a clear and childish voice, Gu Wan'er flew over a courtyard wall at a very fast speed and landed in the yard.

"Ha, there's the big brother!"

As soon as she landed, Gu Wan'er ran very quickly with small steps, and pounced towards Gu Zheng with a whistling sound.

While still halfway, he jumped up on the spot, soared into the air, and stretched out his hands to Gu Zheng.

"…Naughty monkey."

The corner of Gu Zheng's mouth twitched. He reached out to catch the little girl and naturally turned her behind her back.

"Haha, bro, am I really awesome?"

Gu Wan'er lay on Gu Zheng's back and shouted excitedly, "Brother, let me tell you, I am now stronger than Gu Xue! Gu Xue can never beat me, but she never gives up and always wants to spar with me. Last time, I beat her until she cried! She is so old, but she still cries. Brother, don't you think she is useless?"

"Gu! Wan! Er!"

The sound of gnashing teeth rang out. Gu Xue, who had just turned around the corner, glared at Gu Wan'er and said angrily, "You little girl, what do you know? I let you do it last time, okay? If I didn't let you do it every time, do you think you can beat me?"

"Cut~"

Gu Wan'er snorted disdainfully, "That sounds nice. Big Brother is here too, so let's compete to see who is more powerful!"

As he said this, he patted Gu Zheng's shoulder and slid down his back.

"..." Gu Xue's eyelids twitched, "Who competed with you? Practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body and protect yourself and your family. Do you think everyone is like you, brave and aggressive?"

"Haha, brother, look, she's scared!"

Gu Wan'er put her hands on her hips, pointed her chin at Gu Xue, nodded, and looked at Gu Zheng with a teasing look, "I said Gu Xue was useless, brother, do you see it now?"

“…I saw it.” Gu Zheng reached out and rubbed the little girl’s head, chuckling, “Wan’er is indeed a little better than Xiaoxue.”

"Hahaha~" Hearing this, Gu Wan'er laughed triumphantly.

Gu Xue was furious, stamped her feet and said coquettishly, "Brother! You are biased!"

"I'm telling the truth." Gu Zheng rubbed Gu Wan'er's head and walked towards Gu Xue. "From the perspective of the divine fluctuations of the two of you, Wan'er is indeed stronger."

Gu Xue, "..."

Gu Wan'er, "Hahaha!"

"Hmph, what are you laughing at? No matter how powerful you are, can you be as powerful as Ding Ding?" Gu Xue couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pinch Gu Wan'er's face.

Gu Wan'er dodged it easily with a flick of her body. The smug look on her face disappeared, and she stuck out her tongue, "Sister Ding Ding is different, she's not a human!"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Zheng patted the little girl's head.

"Brother, you don't know what Sister Ding Ding is doing now." Gu Wan'er scratched her head.

"Retreat!" Gu Xue explained, "Brother, Ding Ding said she was about to break through, and she went into retreat five days ago."

"Breakthrough?" Gu Zheng raised his eyebrows, "Ding Ding is about to break through the third stage of the alien body?"

"No." Gu Xue shook her head, "It's a breakthrough to the super body!"

"Ok?"

Gu Zheng was slightly surprised, "Ding Ding is going to attack the super body right now? Is she well prepared?"

"She said she was well prepared," Gu Xue explained. "We don't know the specifics except for her, and we don't dare to give any opinions. After all, except for Big Brother, we don't know what's going on with the super body."

"Hmm~" Gu Zheng nodded, "Take me over there to have a look. By the way, where's Dad?"

"Okay, big brother, come this way." Gu Xue turned around and led the way.

Gu Wan'er pulled Gu Zheng and jumped to catch up, "Daddy went out of town, and elder sister also went outside the city to inspect the grain. Gu Feng, that idiot, has been going out to play every day recently and has stopped practicing martial arts."

"What's going on?" Gu Zheng asked puzzledly.

"He just gave up on himself." Gu Xue looked down on him. "Tintin is about to break through to the super body, but Gu Feng is still in the first stage of the alien body. He wants revenge and wants to defeat Tintin, but he will never be able to do that in his lifetime. After realizing the gap, his spirit is gone all of a sudden, and he naturally returns to his true nature, wandering around and living a life of debauchery."

Gu Zheng, "..."

"But, brother, don't worry. I have someone watching him and won't let him do anything wrong." Gu Xue comforted him, "Dad also said that if he dares to cause trouble, bully others at will, or do anything wrong in your name, I will break his legs!"

"Break his legs!" Gu Wan'er echoed, making a fist and humming.

"...That's good." Gu Zheng smiled.

After all, Gu Feng is not him. He has awakened his innate wisdom and matured mentally very early.

Young people are full of vigor and courage to stand up and fight after suffering a temporary setback.

But as the gap visibly widens, all the spirit is lost and it's natural to give up on yourself.

This kind of thing depends on yourself. When you wake up and stand up again.

The second is to rely on guidance from elders of high status or well-educated people of high status.

Gu Zheng is capable enough, but he is not good at educating people and has no experience.

If you want Gu Feng to stand up, you have to find someone else.

I'll talk about this with Gu Sihai tonight.

……

The three brothers and sisters walked slowly along the way.

They came to Zhou Dingding's room, talking and laughing.

Signaling to Gu Wan'er and Gu Xue to keep quiet, Gu Zheng "took pictures" of the situation in the room.

Sense Zhou Dingding's energy, breath, spiritual fluctuations, emotional fluctuations, etc.

After some emotion, he nodded, waved to Gu Wan'er and Gu Xue, and stepped back and left.

After leaving the yard, he whispered, "Ding Ding is indeed breaking through, and the situation is very stable. It will probably take two or three days for him to succeed and advance to the super-physical realm."

"Really?"

Hearing this, Gu Xue exclaimed, and then lowered her voice and said excitedly, "Ding Ding is really amazing. It hasn't been long, and he is about to break through and become a super body!"

"Hehe, isn't it big brother who is so powerful?" Gu Wan'er raised her chin and looked at Gu Zheng with admiration, "If big brother hadn't seen through Sister Ding Ding's extraordinaryness and accepted her as his disciple, how could Sister Ding Ding become stronger so quickly and be on the verge of a breakthrough?"

Gu Xue, "..."

"Haha, the main reason why Ding Ding was able to achieve superhuman body so quickly is because of her own talent. Big brother just provided a path and some resources." Gu Zheng smiled and rubbed the little girl's head.

Gu Wan'er has grown a lot and become more sensible during this period of time.

"That's also because big brother is awesome!"

Gu Wan'er didn't care and said admiringly, "Without big brother, Sister Ding Ding might have been sold. Her shameless father can forget about living happily!"

"Ok?"

Gu Zheng could sense something was wrong. "Ding Ding's father? What did he do wrong?"

"It's not a crime."

Gu Xue took over and explained, "It's just that Zhou Zhenyue doesn't do serious work. At the beginning, my father introduced him to a job that was enough to support his family, but Zhou Zhenyue didn't cherish it. After a few days, he spent his time drinking and partying with others."

"The key is that he doesn't have to spend money on eating, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Some of the drinks are paid for by others. Because everyone knows that Ding Ding is your only disciple."

"Some time ago, my father was conferred the title of Marquis of Qingshi by the imperial court, and more people tried to curry favor with Zhou Zhenyue. Those people, who were politely rejected by my father, all gathered around Zhou Zhenyue."

"Dad talked to Zhou Zhenyue several times and even kicked him out of the family job. Zhou Zhenyue responded very well in person, apologizing and making amends. But behind the scenes, he was still the same, eating, drinking and having fun all day long under the pursuit of others, and even..." "Even what?" Gu Zheng asked.

Gu Xue's face turned red, and she said in shame and anger, "He even hooked up with a married woman! We didn't know about it at first, but a few days ago, the woman's husband came and knelt at the gate, asking Dad to seek justice. Only then did we know about Zhou Zhenyue's dirty deeds behind the scenes."

"How did father deal with it?" Gu Zheng asked calmly.

"..." Gu Xue opened her mouth.

Ok?
Gu Zheng frowned, "Tell me, how did Dad handle it?"

"Daddy said to wait until you come back before taking any action," Gu Wan'er answered quickly.

"Not entirely." Gu Xue continued, "Daddy reprimanded Zhou Zhenyue, asked him to apologize, and forbade him to hook up with that shameless woman again. Zhou Zhenyue agreed and compensated. But it's unclear whether he hooked up with her again."

"Go break one of Zhou Zhenyue's legs."

Hearing this, Gu Zheng spoke calmly, "And spread the word that anyone who continues to flatter Zhou Zhenyue or curry favor with him will have their legs broken and be driven out of Qingshi County."

"okay!"

Gu Xue's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "I'll go find someone right now to break Zhou's legs! Hehehe~!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran towards the door.

"I'm going too, I'm going too!" Gu Wan'er raised her hands high and chased after him.

Gu Zheng did not stop her and let the little girl chase after her.

These days, seeing blood early is not a bad thing.

Gu Sihai did not deal with Zhou Zhenyue because of Zhou Dingding.

Especially Zhou Dingding is about to break through to the super body, and his talent is amazing.

Gu Zheng also values ​​Zhou Dingding. If Zhou Dingding really succeeds in making a breakthrough, then Zhou Zhenyue's status as a father will be elevated.

Gu Sihai couldn't make up his mind how to deal with it.

But in Gu Zheng's eyes, as long as Zhou Zhenyue is not killed, everything will be fine.

Zhou Dingding is still just a nominal disciple.

If this person was a formal disciple, wouldn't Zhou Zhenyue dare to kill people?

Even if he didn't dare to use Gu Zheng's name.

However, who in Qingshi County didn't know that Zhou Dingding was Gu Zheng's disciple?

Others who are chasing after and fawning on Zhou Zhenyue are just holding on to a glimmer of hope to establish a relationship with Gu Zheng and the Gu family, right?

To this end, whether tangibly or intangibly, Zhou Zhenyue borrowed Gu Zheng's power!

This situation must not be tolerated.

Break one leg first and teach Zhou Zhenyue a lesson.

If he does it again, both of his legs will be broken!
……

night.

Gu Sihai and Gu Paner are back.

The family gathered together and had a happy dinner.

After the meal, Gu Zheng mentioned Zhou Zhenyue's matter.

Gu Sihai nodded to show that he understood, and then he said with emotion, "The girl from the family that Zhou Zhenyue hooked up with recently moved to the county town. I have seen that man before. He is a scholar, but his family has a long history of learning. It is said that he is a inheritor of ancient literature. The old man in the family was an amazing scholar before the change of heaven. He was a real master, and his disciple was once a second-rank official."

"An ancient text inheritor?" Gu Zheng grasped the key point, "That old man knows a lot of ancient texts?"

"This one……"

Hearing this, Gu Sihai paused and thought, "He should know a lot of people, right? Why, Ping An, do you want to meet him?"

"Yes." Gu Zheng said directly, "If that old man really knows ancient characters, I am ready to learn from him."

"Row!"

Gu Sihai made the decision, "I will go and invite them over as soon as tomorrow morning comes."

"Be polite when you invite someone," Gu Zheng reminded.

"Don't worry." Gu Sihai smiled, "Putting aside Zhou Zhenyue's matter, I respect all truly learned people."

"Others are in awe of me as a marquis, but I myself don't know what this marquis is all about?"

Gu Sihai curled his lips, "What Qingshihou? It's all a conspiracy of the court! They are trying to tie you, Ping An, to an empty title on the Zhong family's carriage! It's like the carrot in front of the donkey cart, pulling the donkey forward!"

"If we don't take it seriously, it's just an egg. If we really take it seriously, we will be fooled by the court!"

“……”Gu Zheng blinked, then gave his father a thumbs up.

Compared with Zhou Zhenyue, Gu Sihai is undoubtedly very sober.

Look beyond the surface.

Not everyone can sort out the superficial benefits and remain calm.

Gu Sihai is a very competent father.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The daughter-in-law was seduced by Zhou Zhenyue, and the old scholar from the Jiang family, who had a long family background in learning, was invited to the Gu Mansion.

The old man was trembling with fear, keeping his head down all the way, not daring to look left or right.

When he saw Gu Zheng, he fell to his knees.

"See...see..."

"Please stand up, old sir." Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and released a burst of skillful strength to lift up the old man.

Then, without waiting for the old man to wonder, he got straight to the point and said, "I heard that you know ancient characters, is it true or not?"

"Yes... it's true." The old man was surprised at first, then he shrank his neck and replied carefully, "My family has been collecting and preserving the records of ancient characters. There are records of more than 3,240 years."

"very good."

Gu Zheng smiled, "To be honest, I invited you here today because I want to learn some ancient Chinese characters. I wonder if you can teach me a thing or two?"

"Of course, it's not free teaching. You can choose any one of food, gold, silver, house, or job as the tuition for Gu."

"I dare not, I dare not." The old man shook his head and said, "The general ordered someone to break Zhou Zhenyue's legs. He has already avenged our Jiang family. How dare I ask for anything else?"

Without waiting for Gu Zheng to speak, he continued, "It is my honor that the general wants to learn ancient characters!"

“Tuition fees are still required.”

Gu Zheng smiled and did not ask the old man what he wanted. Instead, he asked the old man to start directly and told him to just ask for whatever he needed.

The old man immediately went back home and brought some ancient books and records.

After returning, he started teaching immediately.

It took Gu Zheng half a day to learn most of the ancient characters.

For example, the word that appeared on the half of the magic weapon was not recognized.

Now I finally know what it means.
