124 Returning the Favor (2nd Watch)

After the man sent Xiao Jingkong home, he turned around and left, and Gu Jiao didn't even have time to thank him.

Gu Jiao asked Xiao Jingkong about the incident, and when she learned that he was desperate to save a chicken, Gu Jiao also felt that he shouldn't do it.

However, Gu Jiao was not in a hurry to express her opinion.

Xiao Jingkong frowned deeply and said, "Big brother said I shouldn't do this, does Jiaojiao also think I did something wrong?" ”

Gu Jiao asked him, "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Jingkong puffed up his small chest and said, "I think I did the right thing!" If it's me who is in danger, Jiaojiao will go out of her way to save me! ”

Yes, even the idioms popped out.

Gu Jiao said: "But, have you ever thought that maybe Xiao Qi doesn't need you to save it?" ”

"Huh?" The small headroom is incomprehensible.

Gu Jiao patiently explained: "Xiao Qi is very sensitive, and his body is also very small, the horse's hooves can easily step on it, but the horse's hooves can easily step on you." ”

Xiao Jingkong suddenly realized one thing: he was not as sensitive as a chicken!

Xiao Jingkong secretly swore that he would practice more diligently, and he would become very sensitive and protect his chickens!

A few days later, Gu Houye and his entourage also arrived in the capital.

After more than a month of bumps, the three of them were torn upside down, Gu Jinyu had never sat in such a bad carriage, and her body was so sore that it seemed that it was not her own.

Yao's didn't have any complaints, she was very glad that she took this car, otherwise she would be distressed if she was Jiaojiao and Yan'er to suffer this kind of hardship.

"I'm sorry for you." Yao Shi took Gu Jinyu's hand and said guiltily.

Gu Jinyu said softly: "I'm fine, my younger brother is not in good health, he must not be able to stand such bumps, I am very happy that my mother gave the carriage to my sister and younger brother." ”

Yao patted Gu Jinyu's hand: "You are still sensible." ”

Gu Houye helped Yao and Gu Jinyu out of the carriage.

The people in the mansion were very happy to see Hou Ye and Gu Jinyu, but they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the Yao family next to Hou Ye.

Yao has lived in the villa for ten years, and has not returned to the house once, and the few little guys guarding the door don't know her at all.

Gu Houye said coldly: "What are you doing stupidly? Haven't you seen Madame yet? ”

Several people looked at each other, and walked forward in a daze: "Have you seen Madame?" ”

What lady?

Could it be that Hou Ye raised a woman outside?

Yao's has long passed the age when she would be embarrassed by this kind of small offense, and besides, she has been taking depressive medication for the past six months, and she is in a good mood and body.

Gu Houye took Yao and Gu Jinyu into the house.

The subordinates had already spread the news to Old Madam Gu's Songhe Courtyard.

Mrs. Gu hadn't seen her son for more than half a year, and she was quite worried in her heart, so she asked Gu Hou Ye to come to Songhe Courtyard immediately.

Gu Houye originally planned to take the Yao family to greet the old lady tomorrow, but the old lady urged him, so he had to change the route to Songhe Courtyard halfway.

Old Madam Gu was overjoyed and waited to meet her son, but when she saw the Yao family beside her son, Old Madam Gu's smile froze.

"Why did she come back?" Old Madam Gu asked nonchalantly.

Gu Jinyu embarrassed her mother.

"Mother!" Gu Houye glanced at Old Madam Gu and motioned to her not to fall on Yao's face like this.

Mrs. Gu didn't see it.

Yao bowed decently: "I've seen my mother." ”

Gu Jinyu also saluted: "I've seen my grandmother." ”

Old Madam Gu used to look at Gu Jinyu quite pleasing to the eye, but now that the Yao family came, she even took Gu Jinyu with some disgust.

The Yao family lived in the hot spring villa with Gu Yan, but now the Yao family has returned, but Gu Yan is missing, and the old lady Gu didn't even think to ask.

Gu Houye made a round and said: "Mother, my son is tired all the way, and I will come back tomorrow to greet you." ”

He didn't say that Yao and Gu Jinyu were tired, he only said that he was tired, could Old Madam Gu still let her son rest?

This is the reason why Old Madam Gu doesn't like Yao's eyes, it's not entirely because Yao's background is not good, it's more because as long as Yao's is here, her son will follow the devil, and no one will pay attention to it!

Gu Hou Ye pretended not to understand Old Madam Gu's displeasure, and said with a smile, "My son will go first", and took Yao and Gu Jinyu out of Songhe Courtyard.

The three of them had just crossed the threshold and met a bejeweled woman in a gorgeous costume.

The woman glanced at the three of them, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly bowed down and saluted: "Master! Madam! Miss! ”

Gu Houye's eyebrows frowned: "Aunt Ling, why are you here?" ”

The woman who was called Aunt Ling smiled and said, "I'm here to bring ginseng soup to my mother." ”

Do you need to dress up like this to give ginseng soup to the old lady? Gu Jinyu could see that she was blocking Gu Hou Ye here.

Old Madam Gu's surname is Ling, Mrs. Xianhou is the niece and nephew of Old Madam Gu, and Aunt Ling is the sister-in-law of Mrs. Xianhou, and she can also be regarded as the niece of Old Madam Gu.

When Xiao Ling's family died of illness, Gu Houye married Yao's family, and Mrs. Gu was worried that Gu Houye would not love the three sons born to his ex-wife after he had a new love, so she took Aunt Ling as a concubine.

Gu Houye didn't like Aunt Ling, but with Mrs. Gu supporting Aunt Ling, Aunt Ling's life in the mansion was also very good.

Especially after the Yao family moved to the villa with Gu Yan, Aunt Ling seemed to be about to become a serious lady in the Hou Mansion.

In addition, she is the aunt of the three sons, and the three sons are far closer to her than to the Yao family.

"Then you can send it." Gu Houye said lightly, and helped Yao to leave.

The next day, Yao shirked his illness and did not go to ask Mrs. Gu for peace.

Mama Fang advised Yao: "Madam, why bother? The etiquette is comprehensive, and the savings are realistic. ”

Yao smiled bitterly: "No matter how thoughtful I do, there will always be someone who wants to pick on me." If I don't go, the old lady will be out of sight and out of mind. ”

Gu Houye and Gu Jinyu went to Songhe Courtyard.

Hearing that Yao was sick, Old Madam Gu snorted coldly: "She just doesn't want to see me!" ”

Gu Houye hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, how could Yao'er not want to see you?" You see, these gifts were prepared for you by herself! She has the most respect for you in her heart! ”

The gift was indeed chosen by the Yao family, and it took a lot of thought, but the Yao family was not for himself, but to prevent Old Madam Gu from being angry with Gu Jinyu.

Old Madam Gu pouted, she didn't like Yao's, and it was okay if Yao's didn't come, so she wouldn't be upset.

"Where's Yan'er?" Old Madam Gu finally asked Gu Yan, "Why didn't he come with you?" ”

Gu Hou Ye didn't dare to say that Gu Yan had come to the capital early, he smiled and said: "Yan'er is not in good health, I will ask him to slow down, and there will be a doctor to serve him." ”

"Hmm." Old Madam Gu didn't ask any further.

Gu Houye said: "I will take Jinyu into the palace for a while, and ask my mother to say goodbye." ”

Speaking of Concubine Shu, Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Jinyu with a little more kind eyes: "It's okay, your aunt has been thinking about you for a long time, and she has asked people to come to the house several times." ”

Gu Jinyu smiled with relief: "Jinyu is also very concerned about her aunt. ”

While talking, someone came to report that the second and third sons were here.

Old Madam Gu's face immediately showed an unconcealable pampering.

If Mrs. Gu loves the most in her heart, it is none other than the three precious grandchildren, even Gu Houye, the biological son, is not as important as the grandchildren in her mind.

Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin opened the curtain and entered.

"Grandmother."

"Father."

The two bowed.

Gu Jinyu stood up and saluted the two brothers: "Second brother, third brother." ”

Gu Chenglin glanced at her lukewarmly.

Gu Chengfeng said: "No need to be polite. ”

He said kind words, but his tone was very detached.

Gu Jinyu is used to it, her brothers are not targeting her, they are mothers, but her brothers will not like her children.

"Where's your eldest brother? Why don't you see him? Old Madam Gu asked.

Gu Chengfeng said: "Big brother came back very late last night, and he went to the barracks early in the morning. ”

The eldest grandson of the Hou Mansion in Ding'an is not so easy to do, he is the heir of the Hou Mansion, and he shoulders the rise and fall of the Hou Mansion, which is harder than other children.

Old Madam Gu felt sorry for her grandson, but she couldn't really drag him back from the barracks.

Seeing that the time was almost up, it was time to cut to the chase, he cleared his throat and said to Old Madam Gu, "Mother, I have something to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Old Madam Gu looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Hou Ye glanced at Gu Jinyu on the side, took a deep breath, and said solemnly: "It's about the life experiences of the two children. ”

……

Gu Jiao worked at home for several days, and finally repaired the two yards, she planted green onions, rape and lettuce in the small vegetable garden, and planted some peas under the begging of the small clear space.

The small vegetable garden only occupies the left half of the yard, and the right half Gu Jiao is thinking about building a grape trellis, planting some gourds, and planting some grapes and loofahs when sowing in spring next year.

Xiao Liulang has already received the waist card of Guozijian back, and by the way, he also reported to Xiao Jingkong.

Guozijian's Mengxue is also a class system, divided into four classes of heaven and earth Xuanhuang according to grades and age, and in addition to these four classes, there is a very special class, which specializes in recruiting talented children, some similar to Gu Jiao's prodigy class in her previous life.

This kind of class has only been opened in recent years, and Xiao Liulang never took it when he was a child.

Gu Jiao's action of chopping vegetables paused: "Huh? Wasn't Guozijian closed for a few years? Is it okay to learn? ”

Xiao Liulang added a handful of firewood to the stove: "The Mengxue of Guozijian does not belong to Guozijian in a strict sense, it is separated from Guozijian by an alley. ”

It's been a few years since I started, so I should have a lot of experience in teaching prodigies.

Gu Jiao said: "What is the entrance exam?" ”

Xiao Liulang said: "Judging from the examination situation in previous years, the main test is literacy, scripture and arithmetic. ”

Gu Jiao sighed: "These little clearances are no problem." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Liulang nodded.

However, for the sake of insurance, the two of them still spent a lot of money to buy back the exam questions of previous years and did it for the small clearance, and the accuracy of the small clearance is very high, that is, the writing is slow, ugly, and extremely ugly!

There is one more item in the daily itinerary of the small clearance: writing calligraphy.

Xiao Jingkong is not happy, he suspects that the bad brother-in-law is depriving him of his happiness as a child!

Xiao Liulang said to him: "Jiaojiao also practices calligraphy every day, and the two of you are together." ”

Thinking of being able to be alone with Jiaojiao, Xiao Jingkong happily agreed!

Gu Jiao hadn't dreamed for a long time.

The last time I dreamed was before Xiao Liulang went to the provincial urban and rural test, and it has been four months.

She had almost forgotten what she could dream.

However, this night, when she returned to the house after practicing with Xiao Jingkong, she fell into a strange dream after a while.

The reason why it is strange is because it is neither Xiao Liulang nor herself who appears in her dream.

It was the man she had almost forgotten about who had saved Little Clearance.

The man was dressed in cyan armor and a blood-colored cloak, and sat on a majestic horse.

Passing through a secluded alley, the man was ambushed, and the Assassins were all first-class masters, and Rao was still no match for the man.

Just as the man was about to win, one of the Assassins suddenly threw out a child and stabbed him with a sword.

In order to save the child, the man was slashed in the right arm by the assassin.

The assassin's sword was poisonous, and although the man's life was saved, his right arm was dismantled.

Strictly speaking, this assassination also has something to do with the small headroom.

This group of assassins has been secretly watching the man for a long time, and has not dared to make a move, and accidentally bumped into the man giving birth to an unarmed child, and they decided to do the same, so there was the assassination that followed.

After Gu Jiao woke up, her expression was a little inexplicable.

She is becoming more and more unable to understand her dreams, can anyone who can't be beaten by her dreams now?

But no matter what, he saved Xiao Jingkong's life, not to mention that the inspiration for this assassination also arose because he saved Xiao Jingkong.

She couldn't sit idly by.

The time of the assassination was tomorrow evening, and as for the location, she remembered that there was an auspicious cloud inn near the man who was assassinated.
