Hurrying and hurrying, they finally got back before dinner. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Wan was hungry and uncomfortable, but in order to save the money for that lunch, he was helpless.

As the saying goes, people are poor and short-minded, horses are thin and long-haired, Gu Juan also thought privately before, if Gu Weijun can be admitted to Xiucai, and then take the exam, and finally be admitted to Jinshi or something, now she only hopes that his illness can be cured, and it will be good to be able to eat enough in the future.

When the two of them returned home, they were already hungry, just thinking about having a bowl of hot rice to cushion their stomachs.

It's just that there is no hot rice, but Wang Yuanmei is waiting.

At this time, Gu Zhi saw that Wang Yuanmei was both grateful and a little resigned, from the bottom of his heart, Wang Yuanmei was indeed a very good son-in-law, the leading figure of the Taicang Wang family. His Ah Wan is very good, but his family is still a little worse.

"Uncle. Wang Yuanmei saluted Gu Zhi, and Gu Zhi hurriedly said: "Yuanmei doesn't have to be like this, I have to thank you for Weijun's incident this time." ”

Wang Yuanmei smiled and said, "Uncle doesn't have to be like this, Wei Jun and I are classmates, so naturally it should be." ”

At this time, Wang Yuanmei looked at Gu Juan, that day of farewell, she hadn't seen her for half a month, but she couldn't say that she missed it much, but the figure of the beautiful woman always flashed in her mind from time to time.

Gu Juan smiled at Wang Yuanmei, but this polite smile made Gu Zhi feel very uncomfortable, and he said to Gu Juan: "Ah Juan, go in and decoct your brother's medicine." ”

"Okay, I'll go. ”

Wang Yuanmei looked at the departing figure of the beauty, and unconsciously lost a little shape, Gu Zhi coughed lightly, and said: "Yuanmei is seventeen years old this year, but she has already married?"

"Not yet. ”

"Ah Juan has never been engaged. ”

Wang Yuanmei's face couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and Gu Zhi said again: "Although you and Wei Jun have a deep friendship, but after all, there is a difference between men and women, Ah Juan is fourteen this year, it's time to get married, it's not good for reputation to spread it like this." ”

Wang Yuanmei was stunned for a while, his fists were clenched, his thoughts were surging in his heart, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It's the juniors who are rude, and I will pay more attention to it in the future." ”

"Let's go, let's go see Wei Jun. ”

After Gu Zhi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Gu Juan stuffed a cold and hard rice cake in her mouth, and it seemed that there was only this small medicine stove in her world. It's not medicine, it's money, a pair of ten taels of silver.

After the medicine was boiled, Gu Juan lightly picked up the medicine bowl and walked out of the stove room, but saw Wang Yuanmei standing alone under the window of the stove room, looking a little strange.

"Motomi, what are you doing standing there?"

Wang Yuanmei turned around, glanced at Gu Juan, and said, "It's not early, lady, take your leave." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Gu Juan took the medicine and said secretly in his heart, today's Wang Yuanmei seems to be a little weird.

When she entered the room, Gu Weijun sat on the bed, her originally pale and sick face was a little bloody, Gu Juan saw Gu Weijun who looked like this, and she was naturally extremely happy in her heart, she picked up the medicine and said, "Brother, take the medicine." ”

"I'll do it myself. ”

I don't know if it's a psychological reason, Gu Weijun felt that after drinking this bowl of medicine, his body immediately became a little looser.

"Thank you. ”

"Brother is polite again, if my brother's illness is cured, and he eats fatter, he must be Junxiu Qiwei and a good son. At that time, the woman who wants to be my sister-in-law will not be allowed to line up at the gate of Taicang."

Gu Weijun was a little helpless.

At this time, Gu Zhi followed Gu Xuan's words and said: "Don't talk about the rest, my son's appearance is good, after all, what my father is here will not be too bad." ”

Gu Juan was a little helpless, but he didn't know that Gu Zhi would praise himself like this.

Gu Weijun finished using the medicine and fell asleep, Gu Zhi restrained the smile on his face, walked out with Gu Xuan, and gently brought the door to the door.

At this time, it was still in the middle of the moon, Gu Zhi had not entered a drop of water, and he looked even more tired, he sighed at a bright moon in the sky.

"Ah Juan, what do you think we should do?"

In the past, Gu Zhi would never tell Gu Juan what was in his heart, but he didn't know why, Gu Zhi just felt that since Gu Juan fell into the water, it was different from before.

His Ah Wan is even more resolute than ordinary men.

"Daddy, it's man-made, we won't earn back five taels of silver in a row. ”

"Where is this a matter of five taels of silver, in a situation like Wei Jun, it is not only this medicine that can be cured. ”

At this time, Gu Juan suddenly remembered a sentence.

A penny is hard to beat a hero, not to mention, it's not just a penny thing.

"Daddy, what is the most profitable thing in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Be an official. ”

Gu Wanran was embarrassed, of course she knew that being an official was the most profitable.

"You didn't say that, Daddy. ”

Father and daughter sighed.

On the second day, Gu Juan got up early in the morning and followed Gu Boss and his party to work in the fields.

Taicang is located in the southwest of Suzhou, bordering the Yangtze River in the east. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wu established a granary here, so it was named after it, Taicang agriculture was developed, and it has always had the name of Jintaicang in the south of the Yangtze River.

Rice crops are generally double-cropped, sown in April, harvested in June, and then harvested again in September.

Therefore, the people of Shaxi Town are extremely busy between April and October.

After a morning of farm work, Gu Juan sat on the ridge of the field, eating dry food, at this time Ah He came over, looked at Gu Juan and said with some concern: "Ah Juan, what's wrong with you today, why do you look listless?"

"I'm just worried, what will happen to my brother's medicine money?"

Ah He sighed, sat down beside Ah Juan, and said, "Left and right, my uncle is also a scholar, there will always be a way." ”

"Ahhe, you think we can do a small business?"

"How can this make us all women what kind of business can we do? ”

"When I went to Shaxi Town before, I saw that there were a lot of dock workers there, and it would be nice for us to have a food stall somewhere. ”

Ah He sighed and said, "Sister Ah Juan, you are crazy about money, right?"

"No, I'll go back and think about what I want to do. ”

Ah He looked at Gu Xuan, who was wandering outside the world, and felt helpless in his heart.

Gu Juan took leave with Boss Gu and went home early.

Gu Juan walked into the kitchen and said to the eldest aunt who was busy: "Is it okay for the eldest aunt to kill a chicken today?"

"Why is that? What a good day is today?"

"It's my father's birthday, and it's been a long time since we've opened a meat restaurant. ”

"That's right. The eldest aunt sighed, the family was not rich, and it was even more difficult after the Gu Zhi family came.

The eldest aunt gritted her teeth, caught a chicken, and killed it ruthlessly, and when she was about to start cooking, she was invited out by Gu Juan.

In fact, Gu Juan didn't lie, when he went to deliver food to Gu Weijun this morning, Gu Weijun said that when Gu Zhi got up this morning, he said that this year's birthday would be over, troublesome.
