Chapter 329 Tempering

Duchess Yao carefully took the dark green silk burden she brought, pushed it in front of Miss Yao Si, leaned forward, and said in a low voice:

"Take this to Huaiye, here, it's all medicine, there are many miasma and mosquitoes in the south, with these medicines, you won't be afraid, there are a lot of them in the bag, enough for the two of them, don't put it away."

Miss Yao Si picked out the corner of the burden, looked inside, and asked in surprise:

"Where did my mother buy this medicine? My mother-in-law is also sending people around to buy medicine these days, don't buy it heavy. ”

"Hmph"

Duchess Yao Guo snorted heavily, stopped talking, looked at the inexplicable Miss Yao Si, and was not at ease, so she leaned forward again, and explained in a low voice:

"Where can I buy this medicine outside? The medicines I bought outside don't work with the medicines in this bag, right...... It was sent by the sister who saved you, and you must collect it, and you can't buy it with silver. ”

Miss Yao Si blinked,

"Saved me? Who saved me? Oh......"

Miss Yao Si suddenly understood,

"I see, it's ......"

Duchess Yao raised her hand to cover her mouth,

"What's it called? You just know it, take it away, with these medicines, you can put your heart together, people don't have any bad intentions, okay, I'll go back, it's okay for Huaiye to go on this trip, but it's Ansheng in the south, this is your father's words, come back in a few years, maybe it's a blessing. ”

As she spoke, Duchess Yao stood up, straightened her clothes, and was about to go back, Miss Yao Si hurriedly stood up, stepped forward to hold her mother, and sent her mother to the second gate, watching her car go out of the door, and then went back to the yard.

At the beginning of March, Zhou Jingran's concubine Qian was diagnosed with pregnancy, Li Xiaonuan sent someone to congratulate her according to the rules, stood under the eaves of the corridor with Ah Ben in her arms, looked at the spring flowers that bloomed in the courtyard, and sighed slightly, Princess Jing and Mrs. Meng are still sick, Dai and Sun are on the same page, and now the concubine Qian is pregnant again, Zhou Jingran's bowl of water is really flat.

In mid-March, in the evening, Zhou Shiyuan and Lin Huaiye rushed to the southern army, handed over the documents to the boss, and the boss did not raise his eyelids, and instructed the guards to set up the table according to the rules to compare fists and feet, knives and horses, Lin Huaiye is a scholar, and he has no power to tie the chicken, Zhou Shiyuan said that he has practiced, but where has he seriously endured hardships and worked hard, only one of them was carried and thrown off the platform, from the general to the captain, Zhou Shiyuan was thrown a few times along the way, the boss held his hands behind his back, bent down to look at Zhou Shiyuan, who was injured and paralyzed on the ground. Squinting his eyes and sighing,

"I heard that King Cheng is also a person who can recruit and fight, why are you so?"

After the coach finished speaking, he slowly straightened up, crooked his mouth like a toothache and thought for a long time, and kicked Zhou Shiyuan with his foot.

"There's nothing you can do, let's go wash the horse first, the horse just dislikes you, and I can't say it."

After the boss finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Huaiye, raised his chin and ordered:

"There is one less copyist in my military tent, so you can do it first."

"Go back to the big handsome, and ask the big handsome for permission, just let me go down and ...... Zhou Zhou Shiyuan will be a stableman together. ”

Lin Huaiye looked at Zhou Shiyuan, who was lying on the ground, his face was like ashes, hesitated, and begged, the marshal nodded appreciatively slightly, "Hmm", he agreed, and went back to the commander's military tent with his hands behind his back.

Lin Huaiye stepped forward and pulled Zhou Shiyuan and persuaded him in a low voice,

"Brother Shiyuan, don't worry, let's come, it's here to be tempered, I'll wash the horse for you in the future, you practice well, and then fight back a little bit, hurry up, this ground is damp, see that the stomach is damp, let's go back to the military tent, I'll help you get some medicine."

Zhou Shiyuan drooped his shoulders, obediently helped up by Lin Huaiye, limped and followed a guard beside the marshal, went to a very small tent separated from the commander's military tent by four or five tents, raised his finger and pointed to the two of them, and turned back, Lin Huaiye helped Zhou Shiyuan into the tent, looked around, although the tent was very small, it was neat and clean, and the things were complete, and there was no one else, Lin Huaiye breathed a long sigh of relief, and the heart that he had been carrying fell back, it seemed that it had been deliberately arranged, from good rather than from evil.

Zhou Shiyuan lay on the carpet, Lin Huaiye went out, carried a pot of hot water in a crooked manner, poured it in a copper basin, helped Zhou Shiyuan rub the wound, picked out a bottle of medicine from the dark green baggage, and carefully applied it to Zhou Shiyuan.

Zhou Shiyuan endured the pain, suddenly fell on the felt, his shoulders shrugged and cried, Lin Huaiye carefully put away the medicine, clumsily took a clean dress for Zhou Shiyuan to cover his body, sighed, and was about to speak, Zhou Shiyuan turned his head, looked at him with tears on his face, and asked in a dumb voice:

"You say, can we go back alive?"

Lin Huaiye's heart was sour, he reached out and patted Zhou Shiyuan's arm, gently comforting him,

"What are these words? Your trip is the arrangement of the princess and your mother, but I look forward to you training in the army, how can you not live? ”

"The guards? And the little guys? They? ”

"They're okay too,"

Lin Huaiye's tongue turned, as if frozen for a while, coughed, and then continued:

"It's okay, what can it do? Don't let us follow, but I just want us to suffer some hardships, hone and hone, that is, hone and hone, don't worry, it's okay, what about me, let's be together, be a good errand, think about your mother, can she still hurt you? ”

Lin Huaiye persuaded Zhou Shiyuan with difficulty, he was sure in his heart, he couldn't say it, and the reasons that could be said were extremely pale.

Zhou Shiyuan exhaled, his mood was better, he sobbed a few times, fell asleep on the carpet, and fell asleep after a while, Lin Huaiye sat beside Zhou Shiyuan with his knees crossed, looked at the swaying soybean lamp, sat for a long time, stood up, walked out of the tent lightly, stood at the door of the tent with his hands behind his back, looked at the twinkling stars in the sky, and thought of a god.

In March, it was the death day of Master Gu, and it was also the death day of Li Xiaonuan's parents, Li Xiaonuan sent Mama Wei and Mama Sun back to Shangli Town early to pay tribute to her parents and Master Gu on her behalf.

Cheng Ke returned to Qinglian Courtyard, changed his clothes, stood in front of the couch, frowned, looked at Ah Ben who was kicking his legs and giggling happily, Li Xiaonuan turned around and pulled Cheng Ke to sit down, picked up Ah Ben and stuffed it into his arms, Cheng Ke hid backwards and fell on the couch, Li Xiaonuan simply put the excited and shiny Ah Ben on Cheng Ke's chest and let go of his hand.

Ah Ben held his head high, reached out and grabbed Cheng Ke's ear, sneered and sneered up, accidentally exerted too much force, fell face to Cheng Ke's chest, simply opened his mouth, and bit down, Cheng Ke tried to turn his head, his two hands wanted to push Ah Ben, but he didn't dare to move this soft thing that seemed to have no bones, he just screamed anxiously:

"Xiao Nuan, take him away this stinky boy, alas, don't bite, take him away"

Li Xiaonuan looked at the excitement with his sleeves and hands, and ignored Cheng Ke's shouting, Cheng Ke didn't dare to move Ah Ben, and he didn't dare to move his body, for fear of falling down Ah Ben, and being bitten by Ah Ben was extremely distressed, and he came up with an idea,

"Xiao Nuan, take it away, I have something important to tell you, something very important to the Gu family, take it away"

Li Xiaonuan was stunned, stepped forward to pick up Ah Ben, who was biting with relish, the little girl came up with a wet handkerchief, Cheng Ke took the saliva on his face, looked at Ah Ben, who was still staring at him with his eyes shining, and threatened hatefully:

"Stinky boy, you wait until you grow up, and the master will teach you a good lesson"

Ah Ben giggled, and the excited Cheng Ke shook his fat hand, Cheng Ke snorted, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and complained distressedly:

"On this day, he will not have a time to live in peace"

"No, it's not safe when you're asleep."

Li Xiaonuan replied with a smile, Cheng Ke 'hummed', waved his hand and retreated the girl in the room, pillowed his hands behind his head, leaned on the pillow, stared at Ah Ben who was holding a sheep fat jade Ruyi and kept biting for a while, then turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, and said in a low voice:

"The emperor sent an attendant to Shangli Town to pay tribute to Lord Gu."

Li Xiaonuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted,

"Is it a public or private sacrifice?"

"Although few people know, the royal family is selfless."

Cheng Ke said in a low voice, Li Xiaonuan nodded knowingly, thought about it carefully, breathed a long sigh of relief, took the saliva-dripping jade Ruyi from A Ben's hand, put it on a few, stood up with him in his arms, walked around twice in front of the couch, looked at Cheng Ke, and said with a smile:

"A few days ago, the eldest sister of the Gu family came over and said that she wanted to engrave the Gu family's article and come out, or would you engrave some of it?"

Cheng Ke thought about it carefully, smiled and nodded,

"It's okay, let Gu Xiao engrave it."

"Hmm."

Li Xiaonuan agreed, hugged the yawning Ben horizontally, and slowly shook it for a while, Ah Ben fell asleep, Cheng Ke hurriedly jumped off, lifted the curtain, beckoned someone to come in, and hugged Ah Ben to rest.

At the end of March, Gu Xiao took the manuscript of Gu Da Wen sorted out, found Qian Jiyuan's house, and respectfully submitted the manuscript.

"Mr. Qian, these are a few articles sorted out from my father's posthumous manuscripts, I want to ask Mr. to take a look, it is appropriate to have them in one place."

Qian Jiyuan hurriedly stood up, with a hint of piety on his face, took the manuscript with both hands, let Gu Xiao sit down, sat back and put the manuscript on the table next to him, and carefully flipped through the pages.

There are not many manuscripts, and the three articles of Xie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and Zhuangyuan in Gu Daren start with the beginning, and then there are three or five essays, which are plain but worry about the country and the people, and finally, it is the three words, Gu Xiao wrote, and made a small explanation.

Qian Jiyuan quickly finished flipping through the text, closed the manuscript, looked at Gu Xiao, and asked kindly:

"Good is excellent, but there are fewer articles, why don't you choose a few more?"

"When my grandmother left, most of my father's manuscripts were gone, and that's all that remains."

Gu Xiao said honestly, Qian Jiyuan closed his eyes and sighed heavily,

"Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity that the old lady is heartbroken, so let's do it, carve it out, and send me a few copies."

"Yes, I want to trouble Mr. one more thing,"

Gu Xiao said with some embarrassment, Qian Jiyuan hurriedly raised his hand and signaled,

"You say, just say it."

"I would like to ask the gentleman to write a preface."

Gu Xiao said with some embarrassment

Next shift, around 2 p.m.
