84 Prefectural Examination (2nd Shift)
Huang Zhong found his Hou Ye on a big tree a hundred steps away from the courtyard.
Gu Houye was picked up by Gu Jiao and hung on a big branch, like hanging a wet dress, there was no dry place on his body, and he was dripping with water.
Huang Zhong was really startled when he saw him, this is because it is a blue sky and white day, if it is night, he may think that he has seen a ghost!
"Hou, Hou, why did you hang yourself on the tree?"
Did I hang it? It's the daring girl!
"And what's wrong with your swollen face?"
It's still that girl!
Every time I see that girl, nothing good happens, and there is almost no complete place for him!
He found out, and that girl was the one who came to restrain him!
"I don't want to recognize her back—"
--
Gu Jiao and Gu Yan said goodbye, Gu Yan was very reluctant, but Gu Jiao promised him to come to him soon for a follow-up, so he reluctantly let Gu Jiao go.
He sat in his sedan chair with Gu Jiao and put Gu Jiao in the carriage.
This operation shocked the jaws of many subordinates.
You must know that Gu Yan's sedan chair is his absolute private territory, and once, the young Gu Jinyu climbed in curiously and was kicked down by Gu Yan on the spot.
"I'll sit for you next time." Gu Yan said to Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao nodded: "Okay." ”
After Gu Jiao left the Hot Spring Villa, she did not return to the town immediately, but went to Dean Li's house first.
Dean Li is in the academy, and there are only Mrs. Li and domestic servants at home.
Mrs. Li does not have many sober hours in a day, and it is said that sometimes she does not even recognize Dean Li.
However, she seemed to recognize Gu Jiao, grabbed a large handful of candy for Gu Jiao, and smiled.
Gu Jiao checked her body, and she was fine, but she was old, her memory was deteriorating, and her body was aging.
Gu Jiao left a basket of fresh mountain goods, and found that Mrs. Li always looked at a mulberry tree outside the wall and drooled, so Gu Jiao went out of the yard, planning to pick some mulberries for Mrs. Li and came back.
But when she got closer, she found that the mulberry tree was not wild on the roadside, but was planted in the courtyard next door, and because the crown was too tall, it popped out of the wall of her house.
Gu Jiao thought about it, walked over and knocked on the other party's door.
"Ahem, who?"
With a low cough, the vermilion door was opened, and it was opened by a lady with a temperament like an orchid.
Gu Jiao recognized her at a glance.
She also recognized Gu Jiao.
She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, coughed lightly twice, and then smiled: "Girl, is that you?" ”
Gu Jiao was stunned, she came to pick a mulberry, why did she meet the lady of the temple?
"Madame, did you live so far away?" From here to the temple to incense, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trek through mountains and rivers.
"My surname is Gu." Yao said gently.
Look at?
Is there a second wealthy Gu family here? The answer is no.
Gu Jiao quickly guessed her identity, but she didn't say that she was Mrs. Hou, so Gu Jiao didn't break it.
Yao invited Gu Jiao in, she was just basking in the sun in the courtyard, and the rattan chairs, tables, chairs and benches were all complete.
She pointed to the wooden stool and said, "Sit." ”
Gu Jiao sat down, and she found that there was no one in the courtyard.
Yao Shi saw her doubts, smiled and said, "I want to be alone for a while, so let them go to the front yard, this is the backyard." Does the girl live around here, too? ”
Gu Jiao said: "I passed by and saw that the mulberries were delicious, so I wanted to come in and ask, did I disturb Mrs. Gu?" ”
"Nothing." Yao was very happy to see Gu Jiao, she couldn't say why, "I'll let someone pick it for you." ”
Yao summoned a servant woman to give Gu Jiao mulberries, and she pulled Gu Jiao in the courtyard and said, "I don't know the girl's name yet." ”
"Gu Jiao." Gu Jiao said.
Yao smiled in surprise: "You are also surnamed Gu?" We were one family 500 years ago. ”
Gu Yan also said this, worthy of being a mother and son.
Yao's condition was not very good, and after only a few words, he coughed violently.
Gu Jiao looked at her pale face, paused, and said, "Mrs. Gu, if you don't mind, I'll take your pulse, right?" ”
"Miss Gu is proficient in the art of Qi Huang?"
"I know a little bit about it."
Yao smiled and put his hand on the table.
After beating a basket full of mulberries, the servant woman came over to ask Yao to show her, and Yao waved her hand to signal her to retreat.
The servant woman gently placed the mulberry on the table and then withdrew.
Her pulse wasn't very good, but her reality was worse than it seemed.
Gu Jiao quietly withdrew her hand and asked Yao, "Mrs. Gu, how is your sleep?" ”
Yao said: "It's not good, it's hard to sleep." ”
Gu Jiao asked, "Appetite?" ”
Yao shook his head slightly: "I can't eat much." ”
Gu Jiao paused: "Was it like this before the wind and cold?" ”
Yao: "Hmm. ”
Gu Jiao: "How long has it been?" ”
Yao: "I don't remember the specifics, but it's been a long time. ”
Gu Jiao asked some more questions.
In fact, the imperial doctor also asked, but Yao was reluctant to open his heart, and it was always perfunctory.
Yao trusted Gu Jiao very much, and answered truthfully.
Gu Jiao said again: "Mrs. Gu has seen the doctor before, what do they say?" ”
Yao smiled bitterly: "They said that I was too worried, so I was relieved, don't think about anything, and prescribed medicine." But it didn't help much, so I ate it later. ”
That's it.
The worry in the doctor's mouth is too heavy, and in other words in the previous life, it is depression.
But she also has hysteria, which can be dangerous if it happens.
Gu Jiao took two boxes of antidepressant drugs from the small medicine box and changed them into porcelain bottles.
Yao sat opposite Gu Jiao, only saw the erected lid of the box, but did not see Gu Jiao's operation.
Gu Jiao handed the porcelain vase to Yao, explained the usage and dosage, and advised: "Mrs. Gu, you must take medicine, so that the disease will be cured." ”
The imperial doctor's medicine is ineffective, how can the medicine handed over by a little girl be effective?
But the little girl was busy for a long time, and Yao couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, so she took the medicine and smiled: "Okay." ”
Gu Jiao looked into her eyes seriously: "You can't throw away the medicine, you have to promise me that you will really take the medicine on time." ”
The Yao family has not seen such sincere eyes for a long time, those who want to cure her, they are not treating her, they are the wife of the Hou Mansion.
If she weren't Madame Hou, no one would look at her.
And the little girl in front of her really wants to cure her.
Yao wanted to pay Gu Jiao for the consultation, and Gu Jiao shook the mulberries in the back basket.
Yao smiled.
However, Gu Jiao did ask Yao's for some extra consultation money, but it was not silver, but pastries made by her.
Yao was very happy.
She hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Every time I saw her, she always had good luck, either being saved by her or being healed by her.
Is this girl her lucky star?
Xu is the same age, Yao quickly remembered Gu Jinyu.
Although they are mother and daughter, her relationship with Jinyu is not as close as she is to Gu Yan.
Even if Gu Yan has a stinky face all day long, she can feel Gu Yan's need for her.
She stayed in the villa and let Gu Yan go to the capital, Gu Yan would not do it, but Jinyu could leave very easily, she seemed to yearn for the prosperity of the capital and the liveliness of the Hou Mansion.
It's not that Jinyu doesn't love her as a mother, but that Jinyu has more than one mother in Jinyu's world.
Without her, Jinyu can live well.
Maybe that's a good thing, she thought.
After all, if Gu Yan is gone one day, she doesn't want to live anymore.
At least she didn't have to worry about Jinyu.
On the way back, Gu Jiao asked the second owner about the Hou Mansion.
"What do you mean?" The second owner asked.
"Mrs. Hou." Gu Jiao said.
It was not strange to ask Mrs. Hou, after all, the owner of the Hot Spring Villa had already met three of them, and only the lady was unmasked.
The second owner didn't feel that Gu Jiao had any purpose, he thought about it and said, "That Mrs. Hou seems to be surnamed Yao, and she also has some stories to tell. She is the step-family of Ding'an Hou, her family is in the middle of the road, and her father has an idle position in the household department, which is said to have offended people, and in the end she didn't even have an idle position. She and the former Mrs. Hou is a handkerchief, before the former Mrs. Hou died of illness, she went to visit several times, and there were rumors in the capital that she took advantage of the former Mrs. Hou to hook up with Ding'an Hou when she was seriously ill. ”
Gu Jiao's eyebrows frowned slightly, she didn't look like this kind of person.
The second owner continued: "The truth is that she has never met the Hou Mansion and the Hou of Ding'an. ”
"How do you know?" Gu Jiao asked.
The second owner smiled faintly: "Our Huichun Hall still has some reputation in the capital, and the imperial doctor who treated Mrs. Qianhou has some dealings with my family, but Mrs. Qianhou did ask the Yao family to take care of her children." ”
Gu Jiao asked, "Does Mrs. Qianhou have a child?" ”
The second owner said: "That's right, there are three sons, and the last two are twins." Mrs. Qianhou moved the idea of letting Yao give An Hou a continuation, but unfortunately Yao herself did not agree. Yao personally refused, and the imperial doctor boiled medicine at the back, and all of them were heard.
But after going around and around, Ding'an Hou finally met Yao and fell in love with her at a glance. Ding'an Hou directly proposed to the Yao family, and the Yao family agreed without saying a word. After that, you should be able to think that all kinds of rumors began to slander the Yao family in the capital.
"Mrs. Hou has stayed in the Hot Spring Villa all these years, firstly, to accompany Gu Yan to recuperate, and secondly, because she is not comfortable in the capital.
"Ding'an Hou actually doesn't have much husband and wife affection for the original partner, on the contrary, he loves Yao very much, and Yao's background is not enough to make him a continuation, but he insists on marrying Yao. But the more he loved Yao, the more people felt that Yao was a fox. ”
In fact, the second owner had seen Yao's once, it was a woman with no scheming, and her eyes were as clean as the lake that saw the bottom.
If she is a fox, there will be no one under the sky who is not.
--
However, he said that ten days after the end of the government test, the government released the list.
Candidates went to the government early in the morning to see if they had ever taken the test.
The number of people admitted to the government examination is very limited, and only 50 of the hundreds of candidates are admitted, divided into two classes, 10 in the first class, and the rest are all in the second class.
Feng Lin was woken up by Du Ruohan, and Du Ruohan slipped out of the Taishou Mansion before dawn: "Feng Lin Feng Lin!" Get up! Lost money! ”
Du Ruohan unilaterally made a bet with Feng Lin, he bet that Xiao Liulang couldn't pass the test, and bet ten taels of silver.
Feng Lin yawned and opened the door: "...... I haven't eaten breakfast yet. ”
Du Ruohan immediately stuffed a big meat bun into his mouth, pulled him and walked downstairs.
Feng Lin took the bun: "Liulang hasn't eaten it yet......"
Du Ruohan said: "Okay, okay!" If he has hands and feet, will he starve to death! ”
Du Ruohan couldn't help but pull Feng Lin to the door of the mansion.
There were already a lot of candidates standing there, and the notice board was so impenetrable that Du Ruohan took a lot of effort to pull Feng Lin to the innermost.
In Du Ruohan's opinion, the chances of Xiao Liulang's stupid melon being admitted are really not big.
"Hey, hey, wait for me to give me the silver, Feng Xiaodun!"
"I'm not Feng Xiaodun! I...... I didn't ...... you either" Halfway through the words, Feng Lin's eyes fell on the name that was so eye-catching that no one could ignore it, he choked suddenly, pointed to the list and said, "You, look! ”
Du Ruohan looked in the direction of his finger.
I saw a name in a rather eye-catching position - the head of the government test, Xiao Liulang!
Du Ruohan's jaw was about to drop: "Isn't it?" That guy actually got in? Or the head? How can it be? ”
What about the good Derpy melon?
The guy who can't memorize the three-character scripture has actually become the head of the government test?
The case of the government test is much more difficult than that of the county test, and it is not of an order of magnitude at all.
What's more, the exam questions this time were from his perverted uncle, so it's even more confusing, okay?
Feng Lin stretched out his hand.
Du Ruohan: "What are you doing?" ”
Feng Lin: "I am willing to gamble and lose." ”
No, don't you bet with me?
You've been spoiled by that kid!
Feng Lin took all of Du Ruohan's belongings and returned to the inn happily. He gave half of the silver to Xiao Liulang, and there was no need for him to say the results, and the person who reported the good news had already gone to the inn to congratulate him.
