The next day before dawn, all the family members got up early.

In the past, Gu Jiao was the first to get up, but when she walked out of the house today, she found that Yao's family, Lao Saijiu, Mama Fang, and Yu Ya'er were all gathered in the hall.

Not only that, but Gonggong Qin also came.

What's the situation?

"Early." Gu Jiao said hello.

Everyone looked at the "birthmark" on her face and sighed in unison.

Gu Jiao: What's the matter with your look of being a little disappointed? Am I already so low in the family? Aren't you all seeing me rarely?

Everyone exchanged a look of mutual understanding, so after Gu Jiao drank a bowl of tonic soup, Xiao Liulang also had an extra bowl of tonic soup in front of him at breakfast.

Father-in-law Qin specially emphasized: "It's venison soup, and the man eats it very well!" ”

Xiao Liulang: "......"

The breath in Xiao Liulang's heart was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.

When someone lay down last night, he really thought she was ready to tease to the end, he hesitated out of conscience, and then someone's small snoring came from under him.

He was all there on the spot!

He was the one who was teased, and he was the one who couldn't eat it when he got on fire, and he was the one who was misunderstood in the end...... Where to reason?

Xiao Liulang drank the venison soup with a dark face.

Gonggong Qin smiled and returned to the palace to resume his life.

After a long journey of one day and one night, the officials of the Ministry of Household and the Hanlin Academy finally arrived in the capital this morning.

He didn't arrange anything that Xiao Liulang was not, nor did he deliberately erase Xiao Liulang's credit, first, there was an accompanying Hanlin official who made a special trip to record the trip, and second, Xuanping Hou stood on the Jinluan Palace.

That's right, this guy who never goes to court early and only sleeps lazily is coming to the court early today.

Hubu Shangshu did not have a bad impression of Xiao Liulang, but he received an order from Mrs. Zhuang to give the credit to King Anjun as much as possible, as for Xiao Liulang, there is no merit and no fault, so there is no need to mention it.

But...... Thinking of his experience of almost breaking his leg, he had no doubt that he dared to say half a sentence about Xiao Liulang, and Marquis Xuanping could unload his leg in front of His Majesty.

The head of the household reported truthfully.

The performances of Xiao Liulang and King Anjun are remarkable, and they have both made meritorious contributions, although the head of the household department intends to give King Anjun more opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but Xiao Liulang has actually done too much in the countryside.

The emperor heard it well, both of them are the pillars of the Zhao Kingdom, and among the three tripod armors, the champion and the list have begun to emerge in the six departments, and Tanhualang is still unknown.

But this is not in a hurry, after all, Xiao Liulang and King Anjun both have backstage support, and they don't worry about being suppressed when they come up, Ning Zhiyuan's background is a little worse, and he still needs to hone his qualifications in the Hanlin Academy.

The emperor rewarded Xiao Liulang and King Anjun with a pair of ink treasures, and asked Gonggong Wei to send them to Hanlin Courtyard for a while.

After the next dynasty, the emperor returned to the Huaqing Palace.

"Your Majesty." A little nun came over with a food box, saluted him, and said, "The concubine Niangniang made some snacks with her own hands, and asked the poor nun to bring them to His Majesty." By the way, the concubine also asked the poor nun to ask His Majesty if he was okay recently, and he hadn't seen His Majesty for a few days, and the concubine Niangniang was very worried about it. ”

The emperor was slightly stunned.

Oh, yes.

He hadn't visited his mother for a few days.

This was impossible before.

As long as the concubine is in the palace, he will go to ask for peace every day.

Could it be that he was still angry that his mother had concealed her relationship with Gu Chao?

Although the concubine finally chose him, he still has a pimple in his heart?

"Your Majesty, it's nothing, the poor nun retired first." The little palace maid handed the snack to Gonggong Wei on the side and turned around and retreated.

The emperor glanced at the food box in Gonggong Wei's hand.

Gong Wei understood, opened the lid of the box, and said, "Your Majesty, it's jujube pastry." ”

This is his favorite dim sum, and Concubine Jing learned from the imperial chef in order to make it for him by herself.

He remembered the days when Empress Dowager Zhuang was beaten into the cold palace, he, Concubine Jing and Ning An were excluded, and he didn't even have a decent hot dish on his birthday, so his mother went to the tree to beat dates and made a jujube paste cake with crispy dates.

It didn't taste too good, but it was the best he remembered at the time.

The emperor picked up a piece of jujube paste and tasted it.

It is also made of crisp dates, and the pictures in his memory flooded into his mind, and he let out a long sigh: "You go to the nunnery to talk to your mother, and I will go to eat with her in the evening." ”

“…… Be. "Father-in-law Wei should go down.

The second owner recently recruited another doctor, to be precise, a doctor was poached from the Rejuvenation Hall, he was swept out of the Rejuvenation Hall, everyone was waiting to see his jokes, but he rose in the capital with the Miaoshou Hall.

Miaohandtang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and I don't know how many doctors want to go to him in private, and he has been carefully selected and fell in love with a doctor surnamed Miao.

The medical skills are good, mainly because of the excellent character.

The second owner dug for a long time before he moved Dr. Miao.

After Dr. Miao came, he took on a lot of outpatient work, and Gu Jiao was not so busy.

Gu Jiao went to play chess with the old beggar today, but the old beggar was not there.

Gu Jiaoxun waited for a while, didn't wait for anyone, put on a mask, and went to the martial arts hall instead.

"Little Brother Gu!"

A middle-aged man with a big belly and a red face stopped her.

Gu Jiao looked at him and asked with her eyes-something?

Her attitude is not warm, even cold.

However, the other party didn't mind, but anyone who had seen Gu Jiao's martial arts competition knew how irritable she was, and it was already a shame to be willing to communicate with her.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Little brother, I have watched every one of your competitions, you are very bold, your playing style is very arrogant, and you have made great progress." IMHO, this kind of small martial arts hall is no longer suitable for your strength, are you interested in trying it elsewhere? ”

It turned out that he had come to dig the foot of the wall.

Gu Jiao looked at him, took out a small notebook and wrote, "There are decent masters in the place you said?" ”

Listen to it, what kind of arrogant little tone is this?

He loved it, though!

This young man does have arrogant capital.

The middle-aged man smiled: "Of course there is, I don't know if you dare to go?" ”

Gu Jiao wrote lightly: "Could it be the underworld? ”

"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man was amused by Gu Jiao's arrogance and humor, "Little brother, don't worry, how can I be willing to let you go to that kind of place if you are such a good seedling?" Without further ado, I'll just take my little brother over! ”

Gu Jiao went out of the martial arts hall and asked the little third son to go back first, and she took the middle-aged man's carriage to an embroidery building in the north of the city.

This is Gu Jiao's first time in the north of the city.

Bishui Hutong belongs to the south of the city, and the Ding'an Hou Mansion is the southeast, and the scope of her visits is mostly in the south of the city to the east of the city.

Everything here made Gu Jiao feel unfamiliar, but there was an inexplicable attraction.

Gu Jiao followed the middle-aged man through the embroidery building and came to a dyeing workshop, and under the ground of the dyeing workshop was an underground martial arts field.

From the mouth of the middle-aged man, Gu Jiao learned that the martial arts field did not have a name, and everyone mentioned it on weekdays and only said that it was from the Narcissus Embroidery Building.

The martial arts field was very large, almost the size of the four Taihe martial arts halls, and if Gu Jiao hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that someone had built such a huge underground place at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

In the center of the martial arts field are four martial arts platforms, which are the same as the martial arts hall, and around them are countless side rooms, and the middle-aged man did not say what they were used for.

The middle-aged man shook his hand and said, "Do you see those houses with gourds hanging on the doors, don't go in." ”

Why? Gu Jiao asked with her eyes.

The middle-aged man explained: "It's all a master's house, and if you break into it rashly, you will be killed." ”

So here you can kill.

Competitions are being held on the four martial arts platforms, compared to the Taihe Martial Arts Hall, the competition here is much more bloody and violent, the air is full of pungent blood, and Gu Jiao only feels that the blood in her body is boiling.

The violent factor is ready to move again.

Gu Jiao restrained her desire to kill, and under the leadership of the middle-aged man, she went to an account room in the east end.

"Yo, look at who Lao He fooled over today?" A young man who was sorting out the account books raised his head and glanced at Gu Jiao meaningfully, "Such a tender young man, why can you bear it?" Aren't you afraid he'll be beaten to death? ”

Therefore, people can also die in the ring.

Gu Jiao had a clearer understanding of the underground martial arts.

"Bet fifty taels of silver first!" The young man said to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao frowned, do you still want money?

"I'm coming, I'm coming! I paid for my little brother! The middle-aged man generously took out a silver ticket of fifty taels and slapped it on the table.

The young man's eyes looking at Gu Jiao were even more intriguing: "Let Lao He, the iron rooster, pluck your feathers, it seems that you have some ability, okay, I will take good care of you and try not to let you die too early." ”

"Can I look around?" Gu Jiao wrote in a small notebook.

Lao He said: "Yes! But remember what I just said, and don't go near the house with a gourd hanging on the door. ”

Gu Jiao nodded.

She went out of the bookkeeper.

Behind him, there was the sound of the conversation between the young man and Lao He.

"No, you really want this kid to go to a martial arts competition? He's thinner than me! Still a dumb one! Don't you remember the lesson from last time? Bring back a master who said what kind of master, and as a result, he was killed with one punch! ”

"You believe my vision this time, don't be too powerful in the first game, let him practice his hands first......"

Gu Jiao gradually walked away, and the conversation between the two was gradually drowned out in the shouts under the competition stage.

On the first day Gu Jiao came, she just wanted to familiarize herself with the environment first, but she didn't expect to see an acquaintance here.

A man wearing a black cloak walked in front of him, wrapped so tightly that he couldn't see his face, but the cap of the cloak fell off the moment the other person pushed open the door.

Gu Jiao fixed her eyes, is it her?

------Off topic------

There is a wave of prize quizzes, who is this person?

a. Crown Princess

b. Concubine Jing
