2118 You’re right
“Aiya, why should I be afraid?” Gu Ren climbed onto Gu Xin’s soft couch and the two of them leaned against each other. Gu Ren continued, ” of course, I want brother Xiao Qiu to provide me with some material. After hearing him talk so much just now, I feel that he is very experienced. Third sister, you don’t know this, but after I’ve finished writing this detective collection, I’m planning to start another one and the main character will be a coroner.”
....
Gu Xin asked him,’why did you suddenly have this thought? Coroners aren’t even good in the great Zhou Dynasty. Aren’t you afraid that your work won’t be recognized?”
Gu Xin, on the other hand, was one of the few people in the family who knew about the bookstore other than the time-traveler trio. All the books that praised the bookstore were written by Gu Ren.
At first, she thought it was unbelievable, but she slowly realized that this kid was a gossiper and was smarter than all the siblings in the family. Furthermore, he was fed a Jade bead when he was born, so Gu Xin didn’t think too much about it. She only felt that the smaller the child, the more useful the Jade bead would be.
Although Xiao Qi, Xiao BA, and the rest had also eaten it and were not as smart as Gu Ren when he was his age, Gu Xin did not suspect anything.
Now, she felt that Gu Ren’s behavior was quite normal. He was probably used to it.
“Third sister, let’s put it this way. Why don’t you think your actions have been recognized? Why can it only be a lowly status?” Gu Ren asked sternly.
“It seems that it has always been so! Does everyone think that it’s inauspicious for them to interact with the dead?” Gu Xin thought for a while and said.
“Not all of it. In our world, there are social cla.s.ses. And the ones who divided the cla.s.ses were those in the upper echelons. Although our family’s uncle Emperor is different from other emperors, he can’t change the rules that have been pa.s.sed down by him alone.” Gu Ren sighed and asked again, ” third sister, do you think the coroner will be of much use? ”
“Big!” Gu Xin answered without hesitation, ” as a coroner, I can find clues on the deceased that the investigators can’t find. I can provide clues to the investigators, clear up the case, reveal the truth, and bring justice to the deceased. This is a matter of acc.u.mulating good fortune.”
“That’s right. That was why coroners were called lowly. Their children couldn’t take the Imperial examinations, so they had more rules than ordinary people in many matters. But in the end, they were also ordinary people, and they had even done more than ordinary people. Why are you being so unfair to them?” Gu Ren said.
“Yes, you’re right.” Gu Xin nodded her head.
“So, I want to use a coroner as the main character and write a book. He wanted more people to see what beneficial things the judges, as a Yamen, had done for the victims and their families who had died unjustly without the real murderer being found. This way, more and more people would not look down on this industry. They could even be promoted. With an official position, they could use their own abilities to benefit more and more people. Their children and grandchildren would not feel inferior just because their fathers were in these industries. Their children and grandchildren could also partic.i.p.ate in the Imperial examinations and enjoy everything that ordinary people could enjoy. Third sister, do you think my idea is good?” Gu Ren asked in all seriousness.
“Good! It was completely possible. Endure it, you’re too amazing! You can think so far ahead!” Gu Xin hugged Gu Ren’s chubby little face and kissed him. Then, she sighed. why would someone like you even go to the Royal Academy? Why don’t you go to school and take the imperial examination like Enzi?”
