Gu Jiao finally understood why the original owner and Gu Xiaoshun were able to play together, the IQ of the two of them was basically the same level.

Gu Jiao made pheasant stew with mushrooms today, although the pheasant was delicious, the meat was firmer than poultry, and she stewed it in a large iron pot for two hours before it was stewed.

She also made a refreshing cold fungus salad, shredded white radish in sauce, and the main dish was white rice and corn flour tortillas baked on an iron pot.

Although Xiao Liulang only took the countdown, Gu Jiao still attached great importance to it, so she killed all the chickens to Xiao Liulang to celebrate. It's just that she doesn't talk about it.

"Go and call your brother-in-law for dinner." She peeled off the baked cake and said to Gu Xiaoshun.

"Huh!" Gu Xiaoshun went in a hurry.

Xiao Liulang had just finished copying a book.

After some outstanding candidates were admitted to the Juren or Jinshi, the books and notes they used with their own annotations would be borrowed by the bookstore, copied and sold to the rest of the candidates. This kind of book is more expensive than ordinary books, but there are still many candidates who rush to it.

Xiao Liulang's handwriting is pleasing to the eye, and the books he copied are the best-selling.

"Brother-in-law! It's time to eat! Gu Xiaoshun poked a small head through the crack in the door.

It's good to be thick-skinned, and it's clear that a few days ago, I bullied people half to death, and now I'm as affectionate as that.

Xiao Liulang's expression was as cold as ever, he didn't show the slightest surprise because of Gu Xiaoshun's change in attitude, and of course, he didn't shake Gu Xiaoshun's face with Gu Xiaoshun's ignorance in the past.

Gu Xiaoshun suddenly felt that he was quite comfortable getting along with his brother-in-law.

The three of them sat down to eat.

Gu Xiaoshun sandwiched a piece of mushroom first. In my impression, his sister doesn't cook, so it's the first time he's tasted his sister's craftsmanship, but he didn't expect it to be so delicious!

He took another piece of chicken.

Sky!

It was so delicious that he was going to cry!

Gu Jiao scooped out two big chicken legs, one for Xiao Liulang and one for Gu Xiaoshun.

The chicken thighs were also stewed, the meat was full of gravy, and when he bit into it, Gu Xiaoshun felt that he was about to ascend to heaven.

Xiao Liulang was very calm.

But if Gu Jiao knew the amount of food he had eaten in the past, I'm afraid he wouldn't think so.

The two quickly finished eating a bowl of rice, Gu Xiaoshun went to serve the rice, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Liulang's bowl was also empty, and said, "Brother-in-law, let's serve you a bowl too!" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang did not refuse.

Whether he didn't refuse his kindness, or didn't refuse that brother-in-law, I don't know.

Gu Xiaoshun went to serve the meal in a hurry.

This is the most comfortable meal Gu Xiaoshun has ever eaten, it tastes good, and the atmosphere at the table is also good. Although his sister and brother-in-law don't speak, he can speak! All three of them had a great time!

After eating, Xiao Liulang helped Gu Jiao clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Gu Xiaoshun went to the backyard to chop firewood.

After entering the stove house, Xiao Liulang suddenly put a money bag in Gu Jiao's hand.

Gu Jiao looked at him strangely.

"Home." He said.

Xiao Liulang gave Gu Jiao two taels of silver, which he earned by copying books for more than a month, and there were only a dozen copper plates left on him. However, he is almost done with the book in hand, and in two days he should be able to get it to the town for money.

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at the money bag on the stove, took it and accepted it.

After cleaning up the stove house, Gu Jiao went to the entrance of the village to fetch water, and Gu Xiaoshun took her flat shoulder: "Sister, you rest, I'll do this kind of rough work!" ”

He picked up the flat pole and left, but Gu Jiao didn't stop him even if he wanted to.

At this time, everyone was eating in the house, no one came out to fetch water, he occupied the ancient well alone, and while he was fetching water, two mighty and majestic men rode horses and rushed towards this side, and stopped beside Gu Xiaoshun without saying a word.

The two rolled over and dismounted.

Gu Xiaoshun felt a chilling murderous aura.

He is a little villain in the village, and he can see that the other party has practiced martial arts at the moment, and all the villains in ten miles and eight towns together are not any of their opponents.

"You're from this village?" One of the strong men asked.

"Uh...... Yes, what's the matter with you? Gu Xiaoshun asked in a daze.

"We're here to find someone!" The strong man showed a broken umbrella and asked fiercely, "Have you seen this umbrella?" ”

Why haven't you seen it? That's his sister's umbrella!

Gu Xiaoshun's whole person is not good.

"You've seen it, haven't you?" The strong man narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"I ...... I'm ......" Gu Xiaoshun stammered, what did his sister do, how could such a terrible person come to her door?

"Boy." The strong man stretched out his big rough hand and gently pressed Gu Xiaoshun's shoulder, "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I will ask others ......"

This man is so strong, he can't move half of his body!

Gu Xiaoshun gritted his teeth: "It's mine!" ”

The strong man was stunned.

A glance was exchanged with a companion.

The strong man withdrew his hand and asked suspiciously, "Your umbrella?" Are you sure? ”

Gu Xiaoshun's legs and stomach had actually begun to weaken, but he said stubbornly: "Of course I am sure of my own umbrella!" There is a notch on the handle of the umbrella, and the word 'small' is written, which I carved with my own hands! ”

The last few sentences are true, he was bored at that time, and engraved his name on the handle of his sister's fan, but he could only write a small letter.

Of course, the strong men knew that there were words on the umbrella handle, so as soon as he said it, the strong men believed most of it.

"So, you were the one who went to Houshan that day?"

"It's me!"

"You were the one who stepped on our master's face?"

“…… Be! ”

"Your master's arm was made by you?"

“…… Be! Both! ”

"You also pierced the eye of the needle in your butt?"

Gu Xiaoshun almost stumbled and fell, sister, my own sister, what's the matter with you running to stab someone's ass if you have nothing to do?

Gu Xiaoshun took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "Yes, yes, yes!" Both! If you don't believe it, just ask, who else can do such a thing except for me Gu Xiaoshun in ten miles and eight townships? ”

Gu Xiaoshun felt that he was going to be beaten to death here today, but the imaginary pain did not come, he opened his eyes carefully, and saw the two strong men take a big step back and bow deeply towards him!

"Eun Gong! We've finally found you! ”

Gu Xiaoshun: "......"

"Sister! Sister! Gu Xiaoshun ran into the stove house like a reincarnation, "I seem to be in trouble!" ”

"Be quiet, your brother-in-law is studying." Gu Jiao made a boo gesture at him.

Gu Xiaoshun cried and told Gu Jiao about the affairs at the entrance of the village: "...... Sister, what should I do now? What kind of grace? Did they lie to me? ”

"I see." Gu Jiao remembered what happened on the mountain that day, and nodded thoughtfully, "You didn't ask who they were?" ”

Gu Xiaoshun drooped his little head: "I forgot to ask." ”

"Are they gone?" Gu Jiao said.

"Not yet." Gu Xiaoshun cried.

Gu Jiao put down the broom: "Okay, you wait for me here." ”

"Sister, don't go!" Gu Xiaoshun grabbed her.

"It's fine." Gu Jiao smiled and went in the direction of the entrance of the village.

Gu Xiaoshun didn't know what his sister said to those two, in short, they left obediently.

At dawn the next day, a horse-drawn carriage drove into the village and stopped outside the gate of Gu's house.

An elegant middle-aged man stepped down from the carriage.

Today is the big room cooking, and Zhou and Zhou Yue'e got up early.

Zhou Yue'e went to the field to cut pigweed with a basket on her back, and when she opened the door, she saw a middle-aged man who was about to knock on their door, and the carriage behind the man.

Zhou Yue'e had never seen this posture, and she was stunned for a moment.

The middle-aged man said with a pleasant face: "Excuse me, is this Gu Lizheng's home?" ”

Zhou Yue'e turned around and ran into the house: "...... Mother, mother! Someone looking for grandpa! ”

It was Gu Changhai who came out.

Gu Changhai is the eldest son of Old Man Gu, and occasionally followed Old Man Gu to Yamen to do errands, and he is more knowledgeable than most people in the village.

The other party looked at it and looked at it.

Gu Changhai said politely: "My father is washing, you are ......"

The middle-aged man arched his hand and smiled: "I am the steward of Tianxiang Academy, and I made a special trip to deliver the admission documents to Gu Gongzi today." ”

Didn't I go to town to get my own admission papers? Can someone from the academy send it in person?

Sure enough, did Dashun do too well in the exam?

Gu Changhai felt that his waist was straighter, and he proudly called into the room: "Dashun, the academy has sent you admission papers!" ”
